Are you confused as to whether or not you're feelings are growing for a certain someone? Maybe you are confused about whether the feelings are leaning towards love or friendship. Here are a few signs to tell if you are in fact falling in love.
When you are around them do you get high off their smell? When their scent lingers; each time you get a whiff of it does your heart starts racing and butterflies consume you?
Do you catch yourself waiting for them to post something on a social media network? Do you go to their profile often just to see what they're up to or to look at their photo? Could you just stare in to their eyes forever without a second thought?
When you two are together do you find yourselves walking a little slower than normal? Next time you're together try to pay attention to the speed of your walk. Subconsciously the two of you may be walking slower so the time together lasts longer.
Do you feel a little shy when you're around them? Notice how you act with your other friends compared to that one person. Do you two have more meaningful conversations and one on one topics opposed to just generic topics you have with your other friends? Do you feel as if you could talk endlessly for hours about everything and nothing at the same time?
Do you catch yourself reading their texts over and over? When you go to empty your inbox do you hesitate before deleting texts from them? Maybe you don't even end up deleting texts from them or you just save one of their texts.
Do the two of you tease each other constantly or make sarcastic remarks to one another? If the two of you can do instantaneous comebacks to one another without a second thought then your minds could be synced.
When you hear their name or their voice do you instantly get a smile on your face? When someone is around you may not outwardly show the smile but on the inside you are grinning from ear to ear.
Anytime you think of them do you get butterflies and feel as if you are on a rollercoaster? Does your heart race a mile a minute and you just can't slow it down?
When you are looking at them, you won't notice anyone else. They are the only one you can see and the only one you want to see.
When with a group of friends, do you catch yourself constantly looking over at them hoping to catch their eye? If they're around do you catch yourself hoping they'll text you or come over and talk to you?
When listening to love songs, do you think of them? Have you been listening to more meaningful songs lately that may have to do with love?
Lastly, do you constantly dream about being with them? In the dreams are the two of you shy and flirty or distant and reserved.
If one person came to your mind after reading all of the signs then you aren't falling for someone, you have already fallen for them. While reading this did your heart start beating faster as you thought of that person? Did you start getting butterflies and a little light headed? All of these are signs that you have fallen for this person. Don't try to fight your feelings, embrace them. Tell the person how you feel before you lose the opportunity.

It may be just as safe and effective to treat children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis, or JIA, using oral methotrexate as it is to give them injectable methotrexate, according to a retrospective analysis of a Germany database. But the authors of the study caution that a randomized, clinical trial is needed to compare these two routes of administration before either one can be established as superior. The study was recently published online in Arthritis Care & Research.
Methotrexate is a cornerstone of treatment for JIA, a term used to describe several different categories of arthritis in children less than the age of 16 years. "The question of how to start treatment with methotrexate in children with JIA – orally or via subcutaneous injections – is of great importance. There is no common consensus," says lead author Ariane Klein, MD, Askelapios Klinik in Sankt Augustin, Germany.
The study notes that methotrexate injections tend to have better response rates than oral methotrexate in adults with rheumatoid arthritis, or RA. But the authors write that injections may be especially painful for pediatric patients. This can "pose a significant burden for the patients and their families, and result in more consultations with physicians and health professionals if parents feel unable to give the injections themselves," says Dr. Klein.
In the United States, injectable methotrexate is often given to JIA patients at the start of treatment to achieve maximum effects, and once the disease is brought under control, the patient is switched to oral methotrexate, according to pediatric rheumatologist Carol Wallace, MD. Dr. Wallace is past chair of CARRA – the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance – professor and division chief of rheumatology at the University of Washington Seattle Children's Hospital, and has authored several studies on methotrexate use in JIA.
The retrospective analysis was based on data from the German Methotrexate Registry, which was started in 2005. The study group included 411 children with JIA (average disease duration about one year) who were newly treated with either oral methotrexate (259 patients) or injectable methotrexate (152 patients) for at least six months. The method of methotrexate delivery was not assigned randomly; it was chosen by each child's doctor.

A low-cost stove-top entrée that can be prepared quickly, Creamy Alfredo pasta is delicious served with grilled scallops or barbequed chicken that has been basted with a rosemary, oil and balsamic vinegar glaze during grilling. Depending on the size of your family, you may also want to add a basket of fresh whole wheat crusty rolls or bread sticks. Accompany with a green salad and low-calorie dressing for a healthy menu. For additional vitamins and fiber try adding 1 cup of chopped broccoli or frozen green peas to the onions and tomatoes while sauteing.
If you are considering wine, a white or rose variety is recommended. Nova Scotia's own Grand Pre L'Acadie Blanc Reserve 2010 has a hint of peach and tropical fruit that pairs well with grilled chicken. Click to view the slideshow for more fantastic Canadian wine picks.

Tip 1: Start with the basics like "carpal tunnel." You can always add more words later to narrow
down results.
Tip 2: Choose words carefully and avoid terms that do not concern surgery.
Tip 3: Avoid capitalization and conjunctions like "the," "and," "or," or "in." Also, avoid using media types like "video," "article," and "picture."
Tip 4: Your results can be refined by using either the tabs at the top (Video, Articles/WEB, Images, JHS, Products/Vendors), or the filters on the left (Filter by Source, Filter by Format, Filter by Purpose, etc.).
Tip 5: Punctuation can enhance your search as well. Use quotes ("search term") to only include
pages with the same words in the same order. But only use this if you are looking for an exact word or phrase, otherwise you may exclude helpful results. Add an asterisk (search term*) as a placeholder for any unknown or wildcard terms. For example, C*l Tunnel would give you results for Cubital Tunnel and Carpal Tunnel. Place a question mark (search term?) for single-character wildcard matching. For example, pa?ent would give you results for parent, patent, etc. You may also use the plus sign (search + word) between words for words you must have in the results.
Tip 6: We are always trying to improve our search, if you are having any trouble with search please refer to our survey here and we will use your comments to improve our search. You can also watch our search help video.

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan Can
Only a few days left before the Presidential Election - Americans have been overly stimulated with negative ads, political promises and accusations from both candidates. They are confused, angry and fed up with Government and politics.
Americans aren't buying hope and change from either candidate – they want to know exactly what the Romney, Ryan team can do for our Nation's economic crisis. They're on a need to know basis starting the day of Mitt's inauguration – Mitt must move forward with solutions that Americans can understand and quit playing politics with Obama and the Liberal News Media.
Mitt is totally confusing his constituents - first he was going to repeal Obamacare, now he's saying he will slice and dice parts of it. Mitt should lay out a step by step plan for businesses big and small that will guarantee no tax increase, that he will remove EPA's strangling regulations on businesses and for Pete's sake repeal Obamacare period.
Americans want a plan that is etched in stone – at this time they are still struggling trying to decide if he is really Conservative or verging more on the Liberal side. His campaign is sometimes confusing and we need to encourage him to be more specific about how he will turn our economy around, address the National Deficit, protect our Military, increase our nuclear capacity and handle the illegal alien problems.
Americans should be told exactly what they can expect the first 90 days and what executive orders will be passed immediately after his inauguration – the fuzzy, haze of political rhetoric will lose him the candidacy. He needs to articulate exactly what his future plans for our America is and the solutions that will restore our Nation's weakened foundation.
He knows that the little bounce Obama received from the DNC Convention was due to Bill Clinton's past Presidential history; people will soon figure out that Obama and Clinton are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Clinton had a record to run on – Obama has no record, but this doesn't mean that the Liberal News Media, Soros, the Unions and special interest groups can't put Obama back in for another 4 years.
If Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan concentrate on the economy, they will win the November election – the economic barometer isn't going to do anything but decline. Those undecided voters won't buy hope again in 2012, but they will support an agenda that is backed with solutions, not band aids.
Here is what Mitt and Paul are facing a test of wills and beliefs – they can win this war on our turf if they but take the right message to the people. Ronald Reagan said, "The ultimate determinant in the struggle now going on for the world will not be bombs and rockets but a test of wills and ideas – a trial of spiritual resolve; the values we hold, the beliefs we cherish and the ideals to which we are dedicated. "
America "We Can Take Back Our Country."
God Bless Our Nation, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan
As Always,
Little Tboca

We cannot let up. Regardless of how positive things look we must make sure every conservative vote is cast. This Country, this World cannot afford to slip into the dark ages which is where the NWO with BO as the titular head will take the world. How many centuries will the world flounder before the next Netherlands lifts the world out of the darkness with the quest for knowledge? These clowns in office want an ignorant world they can lead to wherever.
Vern, I agree with you but I think if he concentrates on the business sector and gives them something solid they can depend on, many of the women and Hispanics will vote for him. Great response and something we all need to think about...
In some ways, Romney is between a rock and a hard spot.
For instance, if he outright junks ObamaCare, he knows he'll lose millions who want some "freebies".But if he keeps much of it, he'll pi$$ of conservatives! So, he's got to be a bit foggy about it.
Same thing on a variety of issues.
And the fact remains that some information available to the POTUS simply is not available to him! Why box himself in?
I am reminded of "No New Taxes" and that George H.W. probably did the fiscally correct thing at the time in preventing a shut down.
So, what's the guy to do? He's got to promise almost everything to everybody to get elected. Then renegue, without being quoted on promises not kept.
He's got to be a politician.....which is a terrible thing.....
I believe we have to elect Mitt Romney. I only pray that, after the election, he will surround himself with people who love America instead of Nazis and Communists. As far as his lack of knowledge concerning the mid-east, there are plenty of military experts to advise him.
There is a lot of truth here. I would say that if there are parts of the healthcare bill that is good, and Mitt likes, than write separate bills for them, and stay with throwing out the ENTIRE healthcare bill as it stands. For those of us who understand the health care bill, we know it is more to do with shredding the Constitution than health care.
Can't someone NOT naive advise them to stand firm and stop waffling!
Why doesn't Romney capitalize more and run aggressive on all the mess BO has made????
Read, study and know the Constitution.
I agree with Marcia, Hopefully Ryan will lead him to Tea Party ideas!!!
Mitt Romney's biggest mistake was not embracing the Tea Parties - he just breezes by us and frankly he should go study what happened in 2010
I am also going to vote for Mitt Romney, because there is no way I would vote for Obummer for the simple fact I am not fooled by his love for Islam and socialism ideals. What I wonder is do we even have a choice? I saw the video of the Republican National Convention and the way they purposefully shut out Ron Paul (who had the obvious larger following). It was already planned to have Mitt Romeny and Paul Ryan nominated and was obvious in the video. Do we even really have a choice? Is this all one big show for the American people? Don't get me wrong, I know that Islam and Communism are VERY REAL threats to all Americans. I am just wondering if we are headed toward the brick wall no matter how we vote.

The decision to sell is one of the most difficult decisions that any privately-owned roaster will ever have to make. Owners are faced with the uncertainty of finding the acquirer that will pay the highest price for the company. A sale also raises concern over the future of the management team that the owner and his predecessors have worked so hard to develop. Finally, the owner is faced with the emotional issues that result from parting with a business that may have been handed down through many generations. A focused and directed approach can alleviate many of these concerns and lead to the best result for all of the parties involved.
Depending on the circumstances of a particular roaster, there are a number of issues that must be addressed by the shareholders in a divestiture to ensure that the maximum value is realized. It is recommended that owners selling a company retain the services of a financial advisor specializing in company sales. The financial advisor's role, among other functions, will be the following: to assist in the evaluation of the market conditions and the ongoing M&A activity in the industry; to analyze the current status of the capital markets; to help the seller present and convey the pertinent information in the best possible manner to prospective acquirers; to analyze and determine the optimal selling strategy; to assist in the evaluation of bids; and to affect the transaction. A well thought-out strategy and a disciplined approach to the sale will help the seller realize the highest value for their investment.
For the owner of the closely-held roaster, the investment in the business is likely to be the most significant asset in their net worth. While the emotional ties to the company may be strong and defer the sale process, eventually shareholders must analyze the activity in the market and examine the liquidity alternatives as they pertain to the family's wealth management plan. A roaster that has become unprofitable or less profitable under the existing structure and market conditions will actually deplete shareholder wealth by continuing to operate. By not being open to all of the possible alternatives, an owner may unnecessarily limit their options and thereby miss the opportunity to realize the maximum value for the investment.
Typically, owners are looking to realize the highest price in the divestiture of a business. However, owners that have a strong commitment to the existing management team must also weigh the ultimate selling price with the future of the people that they have developed. These dual objectives can be addressed by presenting the information early in the sale process and by having a directed search for a buyer. If maintenance of the management team is an objective in a sale, the following question must be addressed: What type of buyer needs the incumbent management team?
In the roasting industry, the likely answer is a foreign buyer or a regional roaster lacking a presence in the seller's region or segment of the market. Alternatively, the strategic buyer in a complimentary business that is looking to expand horizontally will require the existing management team. A buyer will sometimes require that the management team be part of the transaction (at least for the first few years) since the existing management can help the company maintain profitability after a transaction and allow for a smooth transition with the existing customer base of the acquiree. While meeting this objective is not always possible in an industry that is consolidating largely due to efficiencies and economies of scale, a positive result can be reached if the owners commit to a focused approach early in the process.
What Is The Roasting Business Worth?
The value of a roaster is generally determined by, among other factors, the following: quality and loyalty of the customer base, experience of the management team, historical profitability (adjusted for shareholder distributions), diversity of product line, and age and quality of the roasting equipment and facility. While every roaster is unique, there are several widely recognized valuation techniques that can be used to get a reasonable estimate of value. Three of the most common valuation methods involve an analysis of the following: 1) discounted cash flows (DCF), 2) comparable change-of-control transactions, and 3) market valuations of comparable publicly traded companies. Often a company will use several of these methods to get a sense of the range of likely values. The following is a brief summary of each of these valuation techniques.
1) Discounted Cash Flow
The discounted cash flow (DCF) method is one of the most widely accepted valuation techniques. In the DCF method, projected future cash flows are discounted back to the present using an appropriate discount rate. Effectively, this method attempts to arrive at a present value of the business by analyzing future earnings. The key to obtaining a reasonably accurate valuation lies in the future cash flow projections and the calculation of the discount rate. The result of this analysis is the unleveraged enterprise value of the company. This method allows one to value a coffee roasting business irrespective of how it is financed. This value is then adjusted for cash and debt to arrive at an equity value for the roaster.
2) Comparable Change Of Control Transactions
Another method for establishing benchmarks of value is to refer to price-to-value relationships implicit in the prices paid in recent change-of-control transactions involving companies with similar businesses and financial performance. The premise behind this method is that new transactions will be valued similarly to recent change-of-control transactions. Typical parameters are multiples of EBITDA, revenues, earnings, and book value. These valuation multiples will vary depending on the nature of the customer base and distribution channels (e.g. foodservice, retail-supermarket, and retail-coffee shop) and on market penetration. An analysis of some of the recent transactions reveals that the markets are willing to pay higher multiples for roasters with a recognizable brand and a retail distribution channel than those without an established brand.
3) Comparable Publicly Traded Companies
This valuation method is based on an analysis of comparable publicly traded companies. This method attempts to value a privately-held roaster based on a comparison of its financial performance and future prospects to similar publicly traded companies. While this method is an excellent way to get current market valuations, it is limited by the fact that there are very few stand-alone publicly traded coffee companies. Similar to the analysis of comparable change of control transactions discussed above, this method looks at various financial relationships to public market value. These financial relationships allow the development of an estimate of market value for a similarly situated privately held coffee roaster.
While the strategy and goals of the shareholders of every roaster will be different based on the status and competitive nature of the market in which they compete, the age of the existing shareholders and the plans for the next generation ownership/management, and the need for liquidity at the ownership level, all roasters should be actively analyzing their options. The current capital markets are such that there is a significant amount of investment capital available to invest in profitable companies. Additionally, as the trend toward consolidation continues, acquirers have been willing to pay increasingly higher multiples for strong acquisition candidates. The year 2000 is likely to be one of significant self-evaluation and continued consolidation throughout the coffee roasting industry.

UAW President Applauds Obama for Auto Bailout
By Matthew Dolan
The president of the United Auto Workers union on Wednesday gave a full-throated defense of the auto industry bailout, arguing that President Barack Obama deserved to be re-elected because he pushed through the rescue despite its unpopularity.
Standing up for what is right "when it's unpopular is a true test of moral character," union President Bob King said in his speech to the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. "In the face of tremendous political venom, President Obama met the test of moral character."

- Convention Speech Replays: Who Was Most Watched?
Mr. King's appearance served as the finale for a segment devoted to convincing voters that President Obama's $85 billion loan package for the auto industry was a wise investment, saving hundreds of thousands of jobs and put its companies back on track to profitability. Most experts believe the U.S. government, which still has a stake in General Motors Co., will lose billions in the end.
Mr. King, who turned 66 years old last month, has long been a stalwart supporter of Mr. Obama, crisscrossing the country to make the case for his re-election and calling on his members to donate their time and resources to the effort. In 2010, Mr. King won election as the union's president, expected to serve a single, four-year term because of his age.
A video preceding Mr. King's speech features testimonials from auto workers praising the Obama administration for saving their industry and their jobs. "He knows we're all in this together," said Karen Eusanio, who said she was laid off before regaining her job at a General Motors Co. plant from Ohio. "He believed in us and stood up for us."
Austin Ligon, who had retired in 2006 as head of CarMax Inc., one of the nation's leading auto retailers, said in his speech that President Obama's financial aid package for General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC "helped prevent a domino effect" that would have led to the collapse of the entire industry. "That's why I'm voting to extend Barack Obama's management contract for four more years," he said.
Appearing in primetime, Mr. King appeared to benefit from the close political relationship his union and the White House have forged. Like the U.S. government, the UAW used its own retirement trust to take a stake in both GM and Chrysler, but critics say many union jobs and benefits were spared during the companies' reorganization out of bankruptcy. Mr. King has appeared at White House events, including a state dinner for the South Korean president.
The union's membership stands at 376,000, up slightly from two years ago but down dramatically since the union had more than a million members in 1987. The union remains a political force in Washington through its campaign donations and lobbying dollars. It has 89 delegates at the convention this week, according to the union.
President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden have in turn appeared at numerous auto plants and union-led events to promote the idea that the Obama administration pulled the U.S. auto industry out of a death spiral. It could be a powerful argument in the industrial Midwest, especially in Michigan and Ohio where both campaigns are making frequent stops.
In Michigan, where the UAW is based, the economic picture is brightening. Unemployment in July stood at 9%, above the national average but well below the state's double-digit high during the recession.
After shedding hundreds of thousands of jobs, the industry has added back more than 230,000 auto-related jobs since 2009 while GM and Chrysler began to turn a profit. The annualized pace of new-vehicle sales in the U.S. last month reached a three-year high.
But Mr. Romney and his running mate Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) have criticized the bailout, arguing instead the crisis should have been resolved with a managed bankruptcy using private investors. They also question why the economic recovery, even in the auto industry, has not been more robust.
Mr. King criticized their approach on Wednesday as sitting on the sidelines while the president swung into action. "Unfortunately," the union president said, "most Republicans advocated doing nothing."

I'm studying numerical analysis and in the book I'm reading there is a theorem thats find a raduis such that all the roots of a polynomial $P$ (with coefficient in $\mathbb{C}$) are in the open disk with center at $(0,0)$. This can be helpful when trying to find roots as it gives a good initial guess.
The only problem I have is that I can't seem to be able to understand why this is true :
$$|P(z)| \geq |a_n z^n| - |a_{n-1}z^{n-1}+ \cdots +a_1z+a_0|.$$
($P(z)= \sum_{i = 0}^n a_i z^i$)
*also assume $|z| > 1$.

Reon Kadena
Osaka, Japan
"When I'm sad I try and become happy again, I think about happy things... beyond that, I go karaoke!"
- Reon Kadena
Whether you know her as Reon Kadena, Minamo Kusano or Yurika, there's no debating that this buxom beauty is one of Japan's sexiest exports. In addition to being an eye-popping pinup, Reon has also starred in eight tantalizing films.
Reon Kadena BiographyReon Kadena was born February 19, 1986, in Osaka Prefecture, Japan. Naturally busty from an early age, Reon entered the modeling industry in her late teens under the stage names Yukira and Minamo Kusano.
reon kadena in triple-hDespite her youth, many of Reon's earliest jobs were in revealing nude photo shoots. She did, however, make the transition into more conventional bikini modeling in 2003 with the release of her first film, Triple-H. The low-budget production featured Reon Kadena posing provocatively in a wide variety of arousing outfits and swimwear.
reon kadena in girl's desireThe film proved to be a big success and Reon delighted her fans the following year with two new productions, including Leon and Girl's Desire. The titillating films, which followed the same format as Triple-H, instantly vaulted Reon into the same stratosphere as legendary Japanese idols like Kaori and Toshimi Horiguchi. Girl's Desire was an especially big hit thanks to the film's steamy bathtub scenes and risque costume play.
reon kadena in style2005 proved to be another big year for Reon as she starred in the films Style and the provocatively titled Virginity. Her growing popularity also landed her guest spots on some of Japan's most popular game shows, as well as appearances in men's magazines like Mecha ii, Urecco Gal and Pent-Japan.
Reon capitalized upon her growing popularity by further entering the mainstream in 2006. In addition to appearing in Make You Happy and My Reflection, two more of her intimate low-budget films, she also made her big-screen debut in God's Left Hand, Devil's Right Hand, a terrifying horror film helmed by accomplished Japanese director Shusuke Kaneko. Glimpses of Reon can also be seen in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, a popular computer game littered with digital posters of Japan's most alluring models.

Flames Dominate Fairfield, Advance to WBI Championship
March 27, 2014
Box Score
CHICAGO – The fourth-seeded UIC women's basketball team (25-9) dominated No. 6 Fairfield with a 74-44 home victory Thursday (March 27) in the 2014 Women's Basketball Invitational East Region semifinal. UIC advances to the WBI Championship Game where the Flames will play host to the West Region's fourth seed Stephen F. Austin on Saturday (March 29). Tip-off is set for 3 p.m. inside the UIC Pavilion. The contest will be head coach Regina Miller's second postseason championship game appearance as she also led UNLV to the 2004 WNIT title game.
Ruvanna Campbell had 20 points in the first half and collected her 25th double-double of the season with 25 points and 17 rebounds. She nearly picked up her first career triple-double with a career-high nine assists. Katie Hannemann poured in 21 points while Rachel Story was also in double figures with 13 points.
"Our players had a lot of fun tonight," said UIC head coach Regina Miller. "Ruvanna dominated every aspect of the game and set the tone for us early on both ends of the floor. I am so proud of what our players have accomplished over the last three games and we are excited to play the WBI Championship Game in front of our fans on Saturday."
UIC never trailed and led by as many as 33 in the second half. The Flames shot 51 percent from the field (32-of-62) and held Fairfield to 33 percent shooting (19-of-57), including 23 percent (7-of-30) in the second half.
The Flames hit 55 percent of their shots in the quarterfinal at Eastern Michigan (March 24) and have converted 50 percent of their field goals in consecutive games for the first time all season. The last UIC opponent to score less than 50 points was Valparaiso on Feb. 16, 2012 (43).
UIC had 23 assists on 32 made field goals and tied a program record low with five turnovers. The Flames held a 40-33 rebounding advantage and improved to 25-4 when winning the battle on the boards.
Campbell was 12-of-16 from the field, including 10-of-12 in the first half. She also collected a career-high five steals.
Campbell picked up her third straight double-double and 15th double-double over the last 16 games. She has scored over 20 points in three consecutive contests and 13 times this season. During the WBI Tournament, Campbell is averaging 25.0 points, 18.7 rebounds, 6.0 assists and shooting 71.4 percent from the field.
Hannemann was 9-of-16 from the field, including 5-of-6 in the second half for 12 points after halftime. The effort is her fifth 20-point performance this season and the tenth of her career. Her 1,094 career points are 14th in program history and 28 away from Krystal Hugelier (2003-06) for 13th place.
Story had 10 points in the first half on 4-of-8 shooting. She drained 3-of-6 shots from beyond the arc and has converted 40 percent of her triples over the last two games (6-of-15). Story's 1,050 career points are 17th in program history and she is 21 points away from 16th place.

Plenty of items can call themselves perfect, but not all of them live up to the hype. We can't say the same for the J. Crew Liberty Springlily Perfect Shirt ($148). It's made of light, gauzy cotton and tailored for a great fitted look. But the best part is the lovely print, designed by Liberty Art Fabric. It's springtime in a button down!
Bought one on line in blue size 10. What a beautiful, soft and sexy shirt. Only problem: it had a small tear on the placket. Returned to J.Crew, only to find that it is sold out! Would really like one of these in blue as pictured but?
Any ideas?

Related to an open problem about another series.
$$A= \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\psi^{(1)}(1-n/\pi)}{n^3}$$
where $\psi^{(n)}(k)$ is the polygamma function.
Does $A$ converge?
The related series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\psi^{(1)}(n/\pi)}{n^3}$ converges.
According to Maple 13: $\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\frac{\psi^{(1)}(1-n/\pi)}{n^3}}{\frac{1}{n^2}}=0$. If this is true it appears to give convergence. The series expansion at infinity involves $\cot$ so I suppose Maple's result might be wrong.
What other CASes say about the series?
I suppose $A$ converges iff $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \cot^2(n)/n^3$ converges.
Experimentally $A$ is about $278.73$.

Fans of "Pretty Little Liars" are getting more and more anxious for each and every episode. A lot of what was built up over three seasons has finally come together and now the clues are becoming easier to piece together. Spencer has always been the one who overthinks things and continues to analyze everything that has to do with "A." According to a Feb. 3 spoiler report from E! Online, Spencer is battling herself over whether or not to tell Aria the evidence surrounding Ezra possibly being "A." Where will this leave the friends?
The last several episodes have shown Spencer sort of falling apart. Fans watched as Spencer went over the edge when she found out Toby was working for "A" and when she thought she found his body in the woods. She is her own worst enemy when it comes to finding out the answers, and it may just be her ultimate downfall. With Emily and Spencer on the outs, she can't chance pushing Aria away and possibly into the arms of Ezra for good.
"Pretty Little Liars" has plenty left to explain and fans all have varying theories. Is Ezra really "A" or does he just work for "A"? There is a small group that believes Aria is in on all the pranks too. The upcoming episode is supposed to be quite compelling. It is a noir-themed episode and Spencer will be rattled more than usual. "Pretty Little Liars" airs Tuesday nights on the ABCFamily channel.

The UCLA Bruins will be well represented in Super Bowl XXXVIII, to be played in Houston, TX on February 1. This will be the 24th time in 25 years UCLA has produced a Super Bowl player.
Three Bruins are on the roster of the NFC Champion Carolina Panthers. Second-year running back DeShaun Foster, who missed his rookie year with a knee injury, rushed for 60 yards on 14 attempts and scored one of the Panthers' two touchdowns in the NFC title-game win over Philadelphia. Rookie cornerback Ricky Manning made three interceptions in the victory over the Eagles after making an interception to set up the game-winning touchdown versus the Rams. Rookie tight end Mike Seidman is also on the roster, but he has been sidelined due to knee surgery.
The Panthers will face AFC Champion New England in the Super Bowl. Linebacker Roman Phifer, now in his 13th year in the NFL, will be starting in his second Super Bowl in the last three years for the Patriots. In addition, wide receiver J.J. Stokes, a nine-year vet who played for the Patriots earlier this season, was added to the roster on Saturday.
UCLA has set several Super Bowl 'firsts'. Troy Aikman is the only quarterback in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a four-year span (Dallas). Linebacker Ken Norton is the only player in NFL history to play for three consecutive Super Bowl champions (Dallas twice, San Francisco once).

« Look who arrived in the post this week! | Main | The Fete Weekend »
I know what you mean, it's neither one thing or the other at the moment!
have a good weekend though.
Gosh I know what you mean. Last week I got sunburnt whilst wearing factor 50! This week I am wrapped in a blanket slurping on soup.
Have a nice weekend.
Confused here too! Getting dressed for work in the morning is starting to be a pain. I even wore winter trousers the other day! We have a barbeque planned for Sunday but I think it will all be cooked under the grill at this rate!
No wonder people emigrate! And I am at the Axe Vale Festival this weekend...in the rain, joy! Kathy
Ah, I know what you mean! Love the photos. Hope you have chance to look at Noreen and Brian's gorgeous photo of wild flowers in their meadow.
Margaret at THY
Ahh but that's what I love about the British weather, don't want wall to wall sunshine and I appreciate the sunny days when they do come along!
Definately a mixed bag, it was warm and sunny this morning and now its raining a lot

The weather is all over the place at the moment! I love your doggy picture - reminds me of the cairn terrier I had when I was growing up.
Love the wee dog photo. My Robin often sleeps like this too she is such a lady...

Tusi Sa'au knows quite a bit about holding up under pressure.
In addition to the ferocious defensive linemen that attempt to overpower Sa'au each Saturday afternoon, the Husky senior has recently been wrestling with the weight of lost loved ones. A native of American Samoa, Sa'au returned to the small Pacific island in December 2003 to attend his grandfather's funeral. Less than 18 months later, he was attending another funeral; this time for his father, Logologo.
The two deaths weighed heavily on the Husky lineman.
"It was real tough," he says. "I pretty much just wanted to stay home. It was real tiring; it took a lot out of me."
Seventeen years ago, it had been Logologo who led his family from American Samoa to Seattle after accepting a ministerial position at a local church. As is often the case, the family's move was made with the future of the younger generation in mind -- the U.S. could provide Tusi with a better education, while opening more doors for his future. Sa'au was too young to remember much of the transition, but the differences in culture are something he has come to appreciate.
"Life there is a lot different than life here," he says. "It's all agriculture and farming; there are no big buildings. There's just one road that goes around the whole island. Life there moves slower; it's relaxing."
According to Sa'au, religion plays a major role in most Polynesians' lives, but as the son of a minister, it was an even bigger factor for Sa'au.
"I haven't missed church once since I came here," he says. "It adds faith and stability, so I always have something I can come back to if I need it. If I'm down and out, looking for something to comfort me, I just say a prayer and keep faith."
Sa'au is part of a long Polynesian tradition at the UW, which includes such greats as Siupele Malamala, Ink Aleaga, and the Tuiasosopo family. In fact, Washington currently boasts six seniors of Polynesian descent, including fellow American Samoa natives Tui Alailefaleula and Mike Mapuolesega, as well as starters Manase Hopoi, Joe Lobendahn, and Mark Palaita.
"We're a real tight group," says Sa'au of the Polynesian community at UW.
When Sa'au was coping with the deaths of his father and grandfather earlier this year, it was his Polynesian teammates -- particularly Alailefaleula, Hopoi and sophomore Wilson Afoa -- who stayed closest to his side, providing emotional support in any way they could.
"A lot of my teammates came, even though I told them not to," Sa'au says. "They still came by, which I really appreciated."
Sa'au came to Washington intending to make his mark on defense, but when offensive line depth became an issue, Sa'au was a candidate to switch sides. It wasn't a very democratic process.
"They didn't really convince me, they just threw me over there at practice one morning," he says. "I came to my locker and saw I had a different jersey, an offensive-colored jersey. I was like `Oh, man!' It was just a shock."
Quickly, however, Sa'au began to gain a new respect for his offensive teammates, whom he used to think "just got in the way.
"You have to learn plays of the whole offense, and then learn how to run that against every single defense that comes in front of you. It is real difficult," he says.
Difficult, too, have been the team's struggles the past two seasons, but Sa'au says he has always felt support from the Washington fans.
"This is a great place to play. We have fans who have been season ticket holders for 50 years, and the commitment they have is great," he says. "To play for someone like that, and to have them in the stands backing you up really means a lot. To know that someone has been coming for 50 years when you're only here for four, that's pretty awesome."
With awesome support in all aspects of his life, Sa'au can finally worry less about the obstacles he must overcome, and focus instead on the obstacle he presents.

"I'm going to miss him a lot," says President Barack Obama as he hugs farewell to the podium veteran.
22:39, UK, Friday 30 May 2014
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney is leaving, President Barack Obama has revealed, to be replaced by his deputy, Josh Earnest.
"It's been an amazing experience," Mr Carney, whose departure had been rumoured for weeks, said as he bowed out.
Mr Obama, who made the "bittersweet" announcement during a surprise appearance in the briefing room, said his press secretary had approached him in April about moving on.
"I'm going to miss him a lot," said Mr Obama. "I will continue to rely on him as a friend and adviser."
The pair embraced.
Mr Carney, a former journalist at the Miami Herald, Time magazine and CNN, became White House press secretary in February 2011.
The 49-year-old, who was previously press secretary for Vice-President Joe Biden, replaced Robert Gibbs.
He said he would leave in mid-June, but it is not clear where he will go next.
Last month he denied a report that he had been lobbying to become US Ambassador to Russia.
He was formerly Moscow bureau chief for Time.

This "lecture" is the second installment of Book Lush 101: The History of English Literature, Adult Beverage-style. Sign up and take a look at the course syllabus here. If you missed Lecture 1, Uncorking English Literature, or "Hand me another mead, Wiglaf, this epic poetry is killing me," get the class notes here or risk failing the midterms and having to wash everyone else's wine glasses for the rest of the course.
Lecture 2: The Canterbury Tales: Alcohol and Literature and Sex, oh my
The harmonious union of Alcohol and Literature had several hundred years to perfect itself after the birth of their first, great English lit offspring in the 700s, Beowulf.
By the time Geoffrey Chaucer took a swig of wine and laid quill to parchment in the late 1300s to begin The Canterbury Tales, adult beverages of every sort were cropping up in practically everything human beings bothered to write down. And, with good reason. As Plato so pithily said:
He was a wise man who invented beer.
The 29 pilgrims trekking to visit the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral in The Canterbury Tales must have been wise, as well as merry, with alcohol indeed.
Far from being the squeaky-clean version that would be inflicted on the helpless masses of humanity if this same story were written today, Chaucer's lengthy ditty is more of a paean to the delights of ale, mead, and wine than that of piety.
Straight out of the gate, ere the cork is even out of the bottle, Chaucer lets the alcohol go to his head, describing April as having "bathed each vein with licquor that has power." Nearly every one of the pilgrims is described in the prologue in reference to their drinking habits, from the Prioress ("Her upper lip was always wiped so clean/ That in her cup was no iota seen/ Of grease, when she had drunk her draft of wine"), to the Clerk ("He loved right well his morning sop in wine"), to the Monk ("In towns he knew the taverns, every one/ And every good host and barmaid too").
When the pilgrims, at their Host's request, begin to while away the time telling tales, the Pardoner's tale outdoes all the rest in alcoholic indulgence: he begins his tale only after swallowing the last of his "corny ale" and then launches into a smilingly hypocritical diatribe against -- what else? -- drunkenness.
The Wife of Bath, before a few glasses of wine
Chaucer, being a canny young lad, knew that however amusing anecdotes on the enjoyment of Bordeaux might be, it just wasn't enough to spark serious interest in a reading public (at that time consisting of approximately 20 people) who had heard enough about ale, mead, and wine to fill every bodily orifice. The marriage of alcohol and literature needed something else to liven things up a bit. Chaucer, always a man ahead of his time, chose the ever enticing sex to throw into the fray and succeeded in producing some of the most amusing alcohol-drenched comic sex scenes known to literature.
Take the Miller's tale: Alisoun and Absolon cavort while simultaneously tricking the earnest Nicholas into passionately kissing Alisoun's "naked ers."
What induced Chaucer to write such a bawdy series of ditties? (And remember, Chaucer intended to write 124, but died after having only completed 22. Good grief.) The answer may lie in a portion of the Wife of Bath's tale, in which she comments that:
Whenever I take wine I have to think of Venus, for as long as cold engenders hail/ A lecherous mouth begets a lecherous tail./ As lechers know from long experience.
Yes, even in the 14th century people commonly believed that a woman drinking excessively was a green light for sex. All Chaucer was doing was expressing the union of the two on the written page, perhaps in the misguided belief that, if alcohol was such a stimulant, what would alcohol, the written word, AND sex do? It's a pity he died so young -- imagine what further delights he had in store. For readers, I mean.
Incidentally, if you are a Chaucer and/or Canterbury Tales aficionado, consider visiting The Canterbury Tales museum in England. Located in Canterbury, Kent, the museum features a reconstruction of 14th century England in St. Margaret's Church, complete with audio guides that take visitors through a narration of each of Chaucer's pilgrim's tales. The museum also hosts a number of nifty medieval-themed workshops, including medieval cooking, Knight School, and the medicines and "cures" of the medieval physician (bring out the leeches). Take a look at their website here.
Don't forget to come to class for Lecture 3, Another Round for the Knights of the Round Table: Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur.

Guided Hiking-Walking Tour
While in Placentia or the Cape Shore, take a day trip to Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve. An incredibly scenic drive along the coast from Placentia to Cape St. Mary's with cliffs, bays, small communities, and views up and down the coast leads you to The Cape. The hike from the Interpretation Centre at Cape St. Mary's is breathtaking and once at "Bird Rock", expect to be overwhelmed by thousands of birds. Binoculars are not necessary to see the birds who soar in the thousands over your head, although desirable to see the birds lower on the cliffs. This site is for those who truly love birds and the beauty of unspoiled nature.
For the more adventurous hiker, tours are offered by Mr. Power. Two to four hour tours lead you along the beaches and ocean side wind-swept cliffs to places such as Golden Bay or Lear's Cove. A boil-up with lunch awaits you at the turning point. Expect to see spectacular vistas from all angles while on this hike. This hike will appeal to birders and botanists and those that love to wander the rugged beauty of a coastal destination. Depending on the season, whales and diving gannets can also be seen from the cliffs.
Tony is a local from the nearby community of Branch and has been working at the Cape for over 20 years. He is trained as a guide with a wealth of knowledge of the flora, fauna, culture and traditions of the area. You won't be disappointed.
Prices vary pending numbers. By appointment only please.
Trail Distance: Hike to Point Lance is 11 kilometres one way; Lear's Cove is 4 kilometres one way; Golden Bay is 4.5kilometres one way
Certainly not an easy walk but presents some fantastic challenges and vistas if you go with Tony as your guide. A moderate trail. Travellers should wear appropriate footwear for rugged and possibly wet terrain. The sheep path follows a cliff edge with some precarious footing at times. Caution is needed during some of the hike.

On March 6-9, artist Marcus Jansen will be exhibiting works at SCOPE New York 2014. Now in its 14th year, SCOPE New York presents cutting-edge special programming, Platinum VIP tours and special events that feature innovative work across multiple creative industries, including fashion, film, music and performance.
Long-established as the original incubator for emerging work, SCOPE introduces new galleries to the contemporary market. Taking place beneath the 30-foot vaulted glass ceiling of the Postal Dock at the iconic New York City Post Office, this year's edition of the show promises to be a dynamic exhibition as it features 60 international galleries alongside 12 Breeder Program galleries hailing from 22 countries. Together, these exhibitors will present to the New York art market the best and brightest contemporary work from emerging and mid-career artists around the world.
The show runs from Friday, March 7 through Sunday, March 9, but kicks off on Thursday night with a VIP reception and First View benefit that Jansen plans on attending.
But Jansen will not have to make a special trip to New York to attend SCOPE New York 2014. He'll already be in town for his solo show at Castle Fitzjohns Gallery, Marcus Jansen: Future Ground, which opens with a VIP reception on March 4.
Castle Fitzjohn Gallery carries work by emerging and mid-career artists, as well as blue chip works by Jean Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Robert Indiana and Roy Lichtenstein. It is directed by Brooke Lynn McGowen. A graduate of Cambridge University (UK), fellow at Harvard University, writer, curator and critic, McGowan is a specialist in modern and contemporary American and continental art who additionally possesses a deep knowledge of the history of photography and new media, with an emphasis on subaltern practice. Marcus Jansen: Future Ground will include a collection of works that show the evolution of Jansen's broad range of two and three-dimensional works. A catalog has been produced for the show which includes essays by Brooke McGowen, art critic Donald Miller and others.
Both shows take place during the first third of March, but Southwest Florida art lovers do not need to wait until then. Work by Jansen is included in Florida Contemporary, which opens on February 22 at the Baker Museum of Art. In addition, new works and selected pieces from the artist's personal collection go on display on the first Friday of each month at the artist's 7,000-square-foot museum-quality studio, UNIT A Contemporary Art Space, which is located at 1922 Evans Street in the downtown Fort Myers River District. For more information or to arrange a private showing of Jansen's newest work, please contact Jansen's Managing Coordinator Terry Tincher at email@example.com or 239-340-6467.

The NCAA announced its pairings on Monday, April 7 for the upcoming NCAA Championships -- and it is a very favorable draw for the Utes.
Despite being the No. 5 team in the country the Utes got what all teams hope for in the run to the national championship: a bye to end its final rotation.
Utah will start the afternoon national semifinal on the uneven bars, then move to balance beam -- its weakest event -- before it gets a bye to complete its first three events.
But if you thought its first three events were good, its final three events in Birmingham, Alabama should even be better.
Utah ends its afternoon semifinal round with its two strongest events on which it has Pac-12 champions Georgia Dabritz and Nansy Damianova: vault and floor -- then ends with another bye to close out the afternoon.
But Utah head coach Greg Marsden cautioned about fans getting too excited over the draw.
"In both of them you are going to have to do well to move on," he said in an interview. "Hopefully we can have a strong start on the bars and beam then finish up well on our strong events."
The teams against which the Utes will compete are UCLA, Alabama, Florida, Nebraska and Penn State.
Of those six teams -- which includes the defending national champions Florida -- the top three will advance along with the top three in the other semifinal to the Super Six, from which a national champion will be crowned.
Considering the Utes missed out on the Super Six last year -- they finished ninth overall -- getting in the top three could be motivation enough.

Arsenal [2]'s Arsene Wenger [3] has expressed fear that Chelsea will become even stronger and make a dramatic move by bringing in Real Madrid [4] head coach Jose Mourinho [5] in their club.
Mourinho's first big sign-up after returning to the Stamford Bridge club will be the Altetico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao, the Mirror reports.
According to the report, Wenger has admitted that the arrival of the Portuguese coach in Chelsea would make the club win the rest of the Premier League series.
Despite his worry for Arsenal, Wenger has said that this is going to be one of the busiest summers for Chelsea even though they have a great base to their squad, adding that the club will be making big moves in terms of investment.
Wenger believes that although Rafael Benitez is doing a good job at Stamford Bridge as the interim manager, Mourinho will be a good solution to replace him, the report added. (ANI [6]

If seeing this at the RexBlog.com URL, the 12 regular readers of RexBlog.com may notice that it looks a little different. That's not what this post is about. The post is about the blog having some glitches until I update some settings and menu arrangements. (And until the person who fixes things I break does some tweaking.)
Category: rexblog
This storm presented by…
My Predictions for 2014
During the past year, I've written more than I can ever recall. However, only a small percentage of it appeared here.
That's both a good thing, and bad.
It's a good thing because all of that writing is for projects that are important to Hammock, the company, and to our clients. And, most importantly, to our clients' customers, members and other audiences.
It's a bad thing because there are certain things I've typically done on this blog that I skipped in 2013. Little of it will likely be missed, or even noticed, by the 12 readers of this blog.
However, for me (and my 12-year lack of a business plan for this blog), it's been a place to write items I want to remember years later. And the older I get, the more I realize that I can remember things that happened long ago that I've written on this blog far longer and with better accuracy than those things I've merely bookmarked or tweeted.
(One thing I wish I'd done, however, is make use of tagging.)
I say all of that to note that making annual predictions is one of those things that I used to do here (often, as a joke) that I've not done this year. However, I've probably written, or co-written, more predictions in the past few weeks than ever before.
For SmallBusiness.com, I've written this item:
And for the Hammock Idea-Email, I collaborated with others on our final two issues of the year:
- Customer Media and Content Predictions for 2014, Part One
- Customer Media and Content Predictions for 2014, Part Two
I have a few predictions related to this blog.
- I'm going to blog more. (Now that we're going through about the 15th cycle of people declaring blogging dead, I figure it's a great time to do more of it.*)
- The design will change.
- I'm going to complete writing and posting my remaining two posts about my recent 415+ mile bike ride.
- This blog will have more photos, videos and sketches that I create. Oh, and GIFs, also.
- This blog will have more stock photos of cute animals and babies.
Happy New Year.
*Reference to Jason Kottke's essay in which (my translation) he describes how blogs are at the DNA level of web-delivered media, even if those who stand on blogging's shoulders to create something "new" fail to recognize it.
Rex-a-Sketch, a 2013 rexperiment
While I've had a Tumblr account [tippy title="(…)"]Tumblr is a blogging platform. You can learn about it here. My Tumblr account can be found at either of these two URLs: RexHammock.com or Rex.Tumblr.com[/tippy] since April, 2007, I've never quite figured out what its best use should be. So I experiment with it.
Unlike this blog and its fairly consistent look, I change themes on the Tumblr account all the time. And while this blog has a consistent 12 readers, my Tumblr account has a consistent readership of, well, I've never added Google Analytics to it.
Mainly, I've used it to post quotes or photos that I might run across. Things that are bigger than a tweet and smaller than a post.
During then next 12 months, I am trying a new experiment with my Tumblr account.
I'm posting sketches to it that I create using the iPad App, Paper by FiftyThree and the Tumblr Theme, Paper Stacks Pro.
I haven't established a sketch "style" yet and it will probably take me a few months to figure out what exactly I am doing. I'm going for something between stick figures and something evoking the Renaissance.
But as I'm limiting myself to less than ten minutes per sketch, I'm guessing my style will approach that of a really bad courtroom sketch artist.
The White House situation room photo, one year later
This blog is where I record certain types of impressions. Typically a few people read what I write here — even then, it's more likely to be read somewhere other than this blog (I syndicate the posts to places like Facebook and Linkedin and others use its RSS feed to read it different ways).
However, every once in a while, there's a post in which I write something that seems to sync up with what other people are thinking about at the same time — and the traffic here actually spikes up. About a year ago, I had such a post. I titled it, "Why the White House situation room photograph is so powerful," and apparently, it was one of the first attempts by someone to analyze what is now described as an iconic photo and perhaps is one of the most analyzed photos of the current era. (It's so analyzed, there are conspiracy theories about it being staged.)
On the day I posted it, several major news organizations included a link to my post in their coverage, so it quickly became one of the most visited posts this blog has had during the past decade.
As Wednesday is the anniversary of the day that photo was taken, some of the research taking place is turning up that post and it's getting another spike in visits.
More important and fascinating, however, is that people who are pictured in that room are being interviewed about what they saw and how they felt at that moment.
On Wednesday, NBC will be airing an interview with President Obama that will describe what was taking place during the photo.
I doubt he'll use the way I described how he looked:
Obama's crouching position (while others are erect or leaning back) is probably going to be analyzed by body-language experts, but any group of people who've watched a TV sporting event (and I apologize in advance for the following comparison, considering the serious nature of what they were watching), will recognize Obama's position as that of the person in the room who in addition to being a fan, has just made a call to his bookie.
I've heard different versions of what was taking place on he screen and exactly what the people in the room were seeing. I look forward to hearing Obama's account.
