College Hockey:Reynolds Stops 31 in Season Debut as Princeton Tops Clarkson 4-1
Arhontas Notches Three Points
PRINCETON, N.J. — Sometimes change is good; it's even better when it results in a win.
No. 13 Princeton made a change in goal and it paid off this afternoon with a 4-1 victory over Clarkson before a crowd of 1,700 at Hobey Baker Memorial Rink
Alan Reynolds made 31 saves in his first start of the season for Princeton (2-2-0, 1-1-0 ECAC), as he spelled regular netminder Zane Kalemba. Matt Arhontas tallied two goals and set up another for the Tigers, who were clad in their orange third uniforms and snapped a two-game losing skid with the victory.
"I found out about it last night," said Reynolds of his start. "It was a lot of fun, and our team played well, especially the last two periods."
Paul Karpowich had 30 stops for the visiting Golden Knights (3-6-0, 0-2-0 ECAC), who went 0-for-6 on the power play in dropping their fourth consecutive game, all on the road. Princeton killed off all 13 short-handed situations it faced on the weekend against Clarkson and St. Lawrence.
Dan Bartlett got things going for the Tigers just 5:29 into the contest when his shot from the low right circle beat Karpowich. Derrick Pallis drew the lone assist on the play
"The first period I thought we played well, and could have been up 2-0 or 3-0," said Clarkson coach George Roll, whose team had 19 shots on goal in the opening stanza but couldn't get the puck past Reynolds.
"Clarkson came out storming, and it could have been over," said Princeton coach Guy Gadowsky. "Zane has been a huge part of what we've accomplished, but everyone likes Alan, and they were really happy he got the opportunity and took great advantage of it."
Reynolds stopped a backhander in close by Brandon DeFazio with less than 14 minutes left in the period, and then made a pad save on Corey Tamblyn's breakaway attempt some ten minutes later.
The 1-0 lead stood up until early in the second session. Mike Kramer skated down the right side in the Clarkson zone and then deep into the right circle before centering a pass to Mark Magnowski at the near post. Magnowski redirected the puck past Karpowich at 1:57 for his first goal of the season and a 2-0 Princeton advantage, with Arhontas also assisting
"Princeton played a good second period," said Roll. "We couldn't find the back of the net."
Arhontas made it 3-0 at 12:31 with his own inaugural goal of the campaign. Clarkson was unable to get the puck out along the boards near its blue line, and Arhontas then picked it up in the right circle and swept into the slot, where he put a backhander between Karpowich's legs.
"That goal was all him," said Gadowsky. "He never gave up on the puck, and it was a huge goal."
Clarkson forward Matt Beca fired a rebound just wide of the post three minutes into the third period, but got a second chance moments later and connected at 3:10 for his sixth goal in eight games this season.
"I think it hit something and went through," said Reynolds, who nonetheless praised his teammates for all their help in clearing rebounds and blocking shots.
Arhontas closed out the scoring with less than two minutes left in regulation, after Kramer had corralled the puck outside the Clarkson blue line in front of the penalty boxes. He turned off the wall and fed Arhontas, who skated in alone and steered the puck into an empty net at 18:07.
"It was fitting that he got that empty-netter," said Gadowsky. "He took a hit to get it out (of our zone), and it was fitting that he and his line got that one."
Princeton continues its season-opening homestand on Friday evening against Dartmouth, while Clarkson will host Rensselaer that same night.
"We haven't won on the road, and that's a concern," said Roll. "We'll go home and see if we can't turn this around."

Fourmile Connector trail to Betasso set to open July 12th
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
This Thursday at 3pm Boulder County officials will open the LONG awaited Fourmile connector to the Betasso trail system. This new trail will allow cyclist to avoid either the tunnel or the canyon link trail if they want to ride to Betasso. Many have hated the existing two options because the tunnel for many is just damn scary if you don't have a tail light and the link trail can be a pain if you don't have good legs or lungs and sometimes have to watch for the occasional bombing downhiller yelling "Straaaavvvvaaaa".
The Boulder County Commissioners and Parks and Open Space department staff are hosting the grand opening of the .8-mile Fourmile Link Trail connecting Benjamin Loop with Fourmile Canyon Drive at Betasso Preserve on Thursday, July 12, at 3 p.m. The ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place at the bridge over Fourmile Creek.
- Hike, bike, or horseback from Benjamin Loop, OR Shuttle from Boulder Canyon park-n-ride to ceremony site begins 2:30 (see map below for shuttle pickup site).
- Ribbon cutting ceremony begins at 3:00 p.m. at the bridge (.25-mile steep hike from Fourmile Canyon Drive.)
- Nature hike after the ceremony.
Last shuttle back to Boulder Canyon lot leaves at 4:15 p.m.

Coaching in the NFL is a profession that makes its practitioners handsomely compensated vagabonds, and Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams is no exception.
In a career that has spanned more than two decades in the league, Williams' resume includes stops as head coach, coordinator or assistant coach with six teams. At the end of this year, with his three-year contract up, there could be a seventh.
Or it could not.
Williams offered no hint Thursday he has any interest in getting back on the coaching carousel or testing the free-agent market for coaches. Instead, he is locked in on facing the 49ers on Saturday in a divisional playoff game, and loving it.
"The people who have been around me the most tease me about (obsessive compulsive disorder) stuff and being pretty focused and attentive," he said. "I'm a grinding worker. We've got a real good situation here. This is so much fun to be playing in the playoffs; this is why we do what we do."
Recently, with his youngest son, Chase, in town with Virginia Tech for the Sugar Bowl, the family enjoyed an unusually close holiday season, Williams said.
"It was a good family situation for us, unusual as I've bounced around the country coaching," he said. "But this is a Saints family, too, and so I enjoy being around the people here at the Saints organization, especially when we keep on playing when everybody else is not playing anymore."
Before New Orleans, perhaps Williams' most successful stop was in Tennessee, where he was defensive coordinator under Coach Jeff Fisher when the Titans played in Super Bowl XXXIV. With Fisher's name popping up now for just about every head coaching opening in the league, there has been some speculation Williams would be a logical candidate for Fisher to seek when putting together his new staff.
Williams did nothing to fuel such speculation Thursday.
"I love here; this is a great organization," he said. "I will tell you this about Jeff: he's my best friend in coaching. The National Football League needs him coaching, they need for him to be a head coach in this league, there's not very many people as good as he is at what he does. I'm anxious to see where he's going to go. I don't know, I don't know any more than you guys. I don't talk to him, I don't mess with him at this time of the year. He doesn't mess with me at this time of the year. We'll meet back up some time this offseason, maybe do some fishing or hunting together, but the National Football League needs Jeff Fisher back on the sidelines, it really does."
Other teams have put out feelers to some members of the Saints organization. Director of college scouting Rick Reiprish's name surfaced as a general manager candidate in Indianapolis, and Coach Sean Payton confirmed this week that St. Louis has requested permission to speak with offensive line/running game coach Aaron Kromer about a coordinator's position. Earlier, Tulane hired wide receivers coach Curtis Johnson to be the Green Wave's head coach.
Asked bluntly if his name should be thrown into that mix, Williams demurred.
"What we're doing here is my head's down, and I just keep on coaching," he said.
Payton brought Williams to New Orleans before the 2009 season in part to instill a nastier disposition to the defense. The Saints succeeded in that in spectacular fashion, as a ball-hawking defense led the NFL in takeaways and the Saints to Super Bowl XLIV that season. Although Williams has been unable to get the defense to replicate those stats, particularly this year when the Saints have seemed unable to generate turnovers for long stretches in the season, the unit undeniably has improved as New Orleans has won nine games in a row and held its past five opponents to 20 points or fewer.
Overall, the unit now ranks 12th against the run and 30th against the pass, although Saints defenders insist those stats are skewed, in particular the passing yardage they have surrendered. After the Saints open big leads, other teams have had to resort almost exclusively to a passing attack.
San Francisco, by contrast, boasts the stingiest run defense in football. Saints quarterback Drew Brees is often asked, when he faces off against one of the handful of quarterbacks at his level in the NFL, if he finds himself in an even more competitive mood than usual. Brees invariably responds that he's not playing the other team's quarterback but that certainly he likes to stack himself up against the best.
Williams and Saints defenders have taken a similar tack this week.
"In some aspects, we do," cornerback Jabari Greer said. "We're very prideful being professional athletes, and we want to make sure that we all give the best possible effort and are getting the best possible results we can get. You want to be seen as the better unit. We realize the challenge that we have against these guys this week. They have a good defense. They have a good offense. They really are a different team than what we saw in the preseason. As a defensive unit, we know that we have a challenge on our hands. As our coach says, the best defense will win the game."
Cornerback Tracy Porter said it's not surprising the Saints' defense gets overlooked, given how the New Orleans offense "lights up the scoreboard." But defense will be the deciding factor in San Francisco, he said.
"Our job is to stop the opposing offense, and I think we've been doing a fairly good job in doing that," he said. "We still have things that we can work on, and we attack those things in practice. But it is what it is. As long as we can get the ball back for our offense, we know what kind of offense we have."

I am stuck on a past exam question. I don't have a clue what it's on about and would appreciate any help.
In this question, $w$ denotes the complex number $cos{\frac{2}{5}\pi} + isin{\frac{2}{5}\pi}$
i) Express $w^2$, $w^3$ and $w^*$ in polar form, with arguments in the interval $0 \le \theta < 2\pi$
My working (I'm pretty sure this is right just it's part of the same question) $$|w| = 1$$ $$arg(w) = \frac{2}{5}\pi$$ $$\therefore |w^2| = 1$$ $$arg(w^2) = \frac{2}{5}\pi + \frac{2}{5}\pi = \frac{4}{5}\pi$$ $$|w^3| = 1$$ $$arg(w^3) = \frac{2}{5}\pi + \frac{2}{5}\pi + \frac{2}{5}\pi = \frac{6}{5}\pi$$ $$\therefore w^2 = cos{\frac{4}{5}\pi} + isin{\frac{4}{5}\pi}, w^3 = cos{\frac{6}{5}\pi} + isin{\frac{6}{5}\pi}, w^* = cos{\frac{2}{5}\pi} - isin{\frac{2}{5}\pi}$$
ii) The points in an Argand Diagram which represent the number $$ 1, 1 + w, 1 + w + w^2, 1 + w + w^2 + w^3, 1 + w + w^2 + w^3 + w^4 $$ are denoted by A, B, C, D, E respectively. Sketch the Argand diagram to show these points and join them in the order stated.
I could do this by brute force just bashing numbers into my calculator to find the coordinates but surely there has to be a better way? Is there a property of complex numbers when they're added together like that?

Suppose I'm preparing LaTeX package to give the abstraction of admonition boxes (warning, error, tip, note, fyi, ...).
I'd like to have theses strings internationalized. I wouldn't appreciate the following solutions:
- "generic" box, let the user give the title and icon.
- add an option to your sty file so that the user can configure the language
- make many sty files suffixed by the language code
The "babel" package is capable of defining some i18n strings (Table of Contents, Table des matières, ...).
Is it possible to integrate the strings used in my package with a i18n system?
Sorry but searching for latex, i18n, babel, interface, integration or whatever don't give me useful results (most people have doubts on how to get babel to work in their documents).
Thanks in advance.

New "General Hospital" spoilers are out on March 3 via She Knows Soaps, and this is clearly going to be an explosive week in Port Charles. There's a big confrontation between one pair, and a heartbreaking goodbye building for another. What can fans expect?
AJ and Ava will have a big confrontation over what he remembers about Connie's murder, and it seems that AJ will end up gravely injured. At least for the time-being, it appears, Ava's involvement will be unknown to both the authorities and those close to AJ. Michael will be by his father's side, and he will wonder whether Sonny could have been involved.
Robin and Patrick are trying to make the most of their remaining time together, but it doesn't go entirely smoothly. It seems Victor will try to convince Patrick that all hope is not lost for Robin. In other Port Charles happenings, "General Hospital" spoilers indicate that Silas will try to visit Nina, but he may not make it very far. There's been a lot of speculation about Nina perhaps coming out of her coma soon, and Michelle Stafford fans have been hoping she may step in to the role. However, Stafford has gotten a bit snarky online about those particular rumors.
Elizabeth and Ric will meet, and he has something of a revelation for her. Alexis will discover that Ric and Liz ran into one another, and it seems she's none too pleased. TJ and Molly are unhappy about their separation, and Duke may find himself in trouble with Anna. Luke lies to Tracy, then later explains why.
At the end of the week someone will be implicated in AJ's shooting, and it seems people around Port Charles will be stunned by the news. Will AJ make it through this one? How long will the details surrounding what happened remain under wraps? Tune in to "General Hospital" airing weekdays on ABC to see just what happens next.

LAS VEGAS, Nev.—The Widowhood Effect busked on the Las Vegas Strip, on July 18. They performed in front of the Bellagio and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
Russell Basques is the banjoist, Brandon Benoit plays the foot tambourine and guitar and James Curtis provides vocals and plays guitar for The Widowhood Effect.
After arriving to the front of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, The Widowhood Effect began their performance with "Dead Queen". As those passersby stood and listened briefly, they put dollar bills into Benoit's guitar case. After they nodded and thanked them, they handed them matches which included information as to where to find them on the Internet.
"Web Of Lies" soon followed and Benoit began the song's introduction. He was soon accompanied by Basques and Curtis did not play his guitar, instead he provided vocals. As he did so, an elderly spectator pushed another on a mobile cart and watched them perform the song.
As the busking tips were adding up and capos were placed on the fret of Curtis and Benoit's guitars, a photographer took several photographs from various vantage points. After "Stoker" came to an end, he asked which genre of music they considered their style as. Curtis took it upon himself to answer and joked how they called it "Newgrass". Afterwards, he said they were an acoustic rock and folk band.
Sticking to the busking list of songs, The Widowhood Effect returned to play "Web Of Lies" to grab the attention of different pedestrians. Benoit began to play the guitar; soon he added his foot tambourine and Basques played the banjo. Curtis showcased his various ranges, as he was bringing in the chorus. Afterwards—they made a group decision, decided to choose a different location, counted the money they made and headed down to the Bellagio.
Upon searching for a place to play, they settled between trees as The Widowhood Effect waited for the water show to end. After Fred Ebb and John Kander's "All That Jazz" and the water show came to an end, they set up their instruments and began "One Last Cigarette" and transitioned into "The Banjo Song". After the songs came to an end, they spoke amongst themselves. After the traffic and the music from the Bellagio became too loud, they headed back to The Cosmopolitan.
"Her Noise" and "The Banjo Song" were also part of The Widowhood Effect's set.

Are you looking for a stock?
Try one of these
Gold prices will remain little changed for much of the year - hovering around $1,650 US an ounce -- as investors shun the safe-haven metal in favour of equities, according to Scotiabank.
Gold prices lost ground in February - slipping to $1,628 US an ounce from $1,671 in January - as investors moved into equities as the Dow Jones industrial average and S&P 500 flirted with record highs.
And Patricia Mohr, Scotiabank's Vice-President of Economics and Commodity Market Specialist, sees the price of gold remaining stagnant in a range between $1,600 and $1,650 an ounce as investors continue their love affair with equities.
"I think the market believes that the Fed no longer really has to increase its quantitative easing from where it currently stands to kick start the U.S. economy and with that I think the market is shifting into U.S. equities and away from gold," Mohr says. "I don't see a big run up in the gold price. I don't see a big run down either."
The overall price of commodities dipped in February after a strong start as a slowdown in China's economy and worries over the financial health of Cyprus eroded enthusiasm, a new report prepared by Mohr shows.
Scotiabank's latest Commodity Price Index dipped 0.9 percent on a month-over-month basis in February led by a decline in the oil and gas index. The commodity index is now 17.2 percent below the April 2011 near-term peak, which was just prior to the advent of concern over excessive euro zone sovereign debt and the negative fallout on global trade.
"In the early part of February commodity prices were still benefiting from the rebound in China's economy, but after China's lunar New Year in mid-February many prices fell back because of some of the economic indicators coming out of China have been a bit lackluster and, of course, more recently we have had the negative news out of Cyprus, which has increased risk aversion in many of the commodity markets," says Mohr.
But she also says the risk aversion factor will dwindle as a rebound in the U.S. economy could prop up commodities later this year.
"I think that it is going to wane because we are expecting a stronger U.S. economy in the second half of the year," says Mohr. "I think that will have a quite a positive impact on many commodity prices and it will be something that underpins the prices upwards and we will probably get over the Cyprus situation."
Oil, which accounts for some 25 percent of the index's overall weighting, led the index lower with a dip of 3 percent on a month-over-month basis. This was on the back of widening discount for Western Canadian Select heavy oil.
The metal and mineral Index also moved lower in February, dipping 0.5 percent, on the back of falling potash and gold prices. Potash prices slowed as farmers deferred fertilizer application until later in the spring and sales were hurt by poor weather in Europe.

News from Unity
Unity Health System President and Chief Executive Officer Tim McCormick, the longest-serving health care executive in the Rochester community, announced yesterday that he plans to retire at the end of 2009 after 36 years with the Health System. "I have mixed emotions about making this announcement," said McCormick. "It has been my honor and my privilege to serve the Unity family and this community. This is the right time for me and for Unity to make this transition." He added, "My success would not have been possible without the incredible efforts of hundreds of people who have helped make Unity the special organization that it is today." From 1979 to 1997, McCormick served as president and CEO of Park Ridge Hospital and Park Ridge Health System. When Park Ridge Health System and St. Mary's Hospital aligned to form Unity Health System in 1997, he was named president and CEO. "Tim has poured his heart, energy, and intellect into this organization, and our entire community has benefited. His strategic approach was the driving force behind the expansion of Unity well beyond an acute care hospital. The board is grateful to him," said Robert Oppenheimer, chairman, Unity Health System. Nagendra Nadaraja, M.D., long-time chief of Surgery at Unity Hospital, said: "Tim's challenging and provocative leadership skills, vision, and strong commitment to high quality, cost effective health care are unmatched in Rochester. We shall miss him." Following McCormick's announcement at Unity's annual meeting, the Unity Health System board of directors approved the appointment of Warren Hern, the organization's executive vice president and chief financial officer since 1985, as president and CEO, effective January 1, 2010. "The board conducted a thorough and thoughtful process to select Tim's successor," said Robert Asbury, M.D., who chaired the Succession Planning Committee. "Based on Warren's track record of success, we believe he is highly qualified to lead Unity into the future. He will certainly build upon Tim's outstanding commitment to customer focus, community responsiveness, and high quality patient care, and will steer us successfully through the multiple complex challenges and opportunities that lie ahead." Backgrounder on Tim McCormick President & Chief Executive Officer In the course of his exemplary career, Tim McCormick has led Unity Health System to many significant milestones and accomplishments. Formation of Unity Health System and transformation of St. Mary's Hospital The alliance of the former St. Mary's Hospital and Park Ridge Health System to form Unity Health System in the late 1990s has been hailed as a model by local community leaders and throughout the health care industry. Under Mr. McCormick's leadership, Unity successfully achieved a reconfiguration of acute care services, the transformation of St. Mary's Hospital into a vibrant community health center, and a significant financial turnaround. Since then, Mr. McCormick has led Unity to become an economic force in our community. With a 2009 annual operating budget of $468 million and over 5,300 employees, Unity is Rochester's 6th largest employer. Due in large part to Mr. McCormick's relentless focus on quality outcomes and customer satisfaction, Unity has experienced ten consecutive years of growth in patient volumes and a positive bottom line. Patient satisfaction across the organization is consistently above 98%. Unity has received numerous state and national accolades for clinical quality and patient safety outcomes. Development of the Unity Park Ridge Campus During his tenure with Park Ridge Health System, he oversaw development of the 156-acre Park Ridge Health Care Campus in Greece – expanding it well beyond what was considered traditional for a community hospital system. In response to changing community needs, the decade of the 1980s was a time of unprecedented growth for the Health System, which included the expansion of innovative long term care services for the elderly, creation of chemical dependency and mental health treatment facilities and programs, and construction of a child care center – the first to be built by a local hospital – to meet the needs of its employees. Creation of a comprehensive continuum of health care services Mr. McCormick oversaw development of Unity's continuum of services for older adults – now the most comprehensive in Rochester with three skilled nursing facilities, six adult day care programs, home and community-based services, and five housing communities serving residents of all income levels. The Villages at Unity was the first senior living community in Rochester to be affiliated with a hospital and located on a hospital Campus.
Mr. McCormick fostered the formation and growth of Unity Medical Group, a multi-specialty physician group practice now consisting of over 100 primary care physicians and specialists, dentists, hospitalists, intensivists, and mid-level practitioners, practicing at 31 locations throughout Monroe County.
In 1984, Park Ridge Health System purchased ACM Medical Laboratory. Today, ACM Laboratory's services extend far beyond the clinical lab testing it provides to patients, physicians, hospitals and nursing homes in western New York. ACM-Pivotal is an expanding global force in central laboratory testing for clinical trials, with operations in more than 60 countries. Community Involvement & Professional DevelopmentMr. McCormick currently serves as chairman of Health Care Casualty Insurance Limited (HCCI) and as a board member of the Rochester Business Alliance. He has served as a board member of MMI Companies, the Healthcare Association of New York State (HANYS), United Way of Greater Rochester, and Fleet Bank Regional Board. He is a fellow of the American College of Health Care Executives. He is a past recipient of the Monroe County Medical Society's Edward Mott Moore Award.
He holds a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in History from Seton Hall University, and a master's degree in Hospital Administration from the Medical College of Virginia. Backgrounder on Warren Hern Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer Warren Hern is executive vice president and chief financial officer of Unity Health System, having held the CFO position since 1985. He also serves as president of Unity's for-profit operations, which includes ACM Medical Laboratory, and he serves as chief compliance officer. Hern joined Park Ridge Health System, the predecessor to Unity Health System, in 1976 and progressively assumed greater responsibilities. Hern served as national chairman of the board of directors of the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) during 1996-97 year, and prior to that served in various officer positions and on the board of directors. HFMA is the nation's leading membership organization for healthcare financial management executives and leaders, with more than 35,000 members. He is a frequent guest lecturer at the University of Rochester Simon School and Roberts Wesleyan College MBA programs. He currently serves as treasurer of Cerebral Palsy (CP) of Rochester. He is a member of the JPMorgan Chase Rochester Region Advisory Board and the Healthcare Association of New York State (HANYS) Finance Committee.

Anyone with a Facebook account has no doubt seen at least one video of the "Ice Bucket Challenge," which was designed to bring attention and donations to charities supporting Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), which is better known as "Lou Gehrig's Disease." The emphasis on head injuries to professional athletes, including football and soccer players, has brought more attention to this terrible disease. The potential that contact sports and/or exercise might lead to the development of the disease is the focus of this article, from September 3, which points at two new studies which studied that very hypothesis.
The bigger of the two studies included 652 ALS patients and 1,166 people from similar demographics from five nations. The results showed that physical activity itself had no real impact on an individual's likelihood to develop ALS. If anything, exercise seemed to limit the chances, although other factors, such as a healthy diet, could play a role as well.
However, the results did show that multiple hits to the head, which could come from a number of sports, including football and soccer, did increase the risk. On the other hand, rugby, which is a very physical game, does not show any increased risk of ALS. Football players do seem to suffer concussions at a greater rate than rugby though. Additionally, soccer players have shown a tendency to develop ALS with the theory being that the disease is due to the heading of the ball so many times in a player's career.
The research shows that people who are just interested in a healthy lifestyle probably do not have to worry about ALS. However, it is the parents of small children who are interested in getting into sports who should pay the most attention to this research. The risks of sports like football and soccer may not be worth the rewards.

The fans of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" might be surprised to hear how NeNe Leakes feels on the Kenya Moore and Porsha Stewart brawl. The star helped Porsha keep quiet after the incident, as seen on Sunday night, but the star is definitely suggesting that this isn't the first incident for the show to push conflict for a moment between stars. She also implies that Kenya Moore's decision to bring props was provoking. According to LALate on Monday, NeNe Leakes outlined several antics where she could have exploded this season too.
"When is it 'okay' to BULLY someone, then question retaliation? Should there have been a halt to the foolish antics? Should PROPS be allowed in situations such as this?" asked NeNe Leakes on her official blog on Monday wanting the fans to weigh in about the situation.
NeNe Leakes does bring up a valid point. Did the show know that the props were going to be used to bully others on the couch? And why was Moore allowed to bring items in the first place? It is pretty obvious that anyone who brings a bullhorn to a sit down meeting will look to dominate the conversation. Add the history of the past season and it could get explosive quickly and the producers should have known.
There is also a mention of a bully in NeNe's column. Is NeNe Leakes calling Kenya Moore a bully? Or the process of the reunions? This really is an interesting reflection of society today. As the majority of the population condones violence, how does the woman who repeatedly instigates fights with another person be rewarded with the label of being a victim of the situation.
It sounds like NeNe Leakes is upset with how Bravo has put provoking situations in her segments too. With Kenya being involved in all the situations, it appears that Moore's antics are upsetting more than Porsha Stewart.
The Bravo production team has a big challenge after the reunion shows air. They need to decide who is coming back to the show and who might be leaving. As some fans are pulling for Kenya Moore and other fans want Porsha Stewart, it appears that NeNe Leakes might be a bigger factor than some viewers originally thought.

Winnipeg Jets restricted free agent forward Alexander Burmistrov has left the National Hockey League to sign a contract with Ak Bars Kazan of the Kontinental Hockey League in Russia.
Burmistrov, 21, reportedly signed a two-year deal to play in the KHL after spending the past three seasons with the Jets franchise. The Atlanta Thrashers made him the eighth pick in the 2010 NHL Draft and he spent the 2010-11 season with them and the following two in Winnipeg.
The Jets retain Burmistrov's rights should he return to the NHL.
"Through our conversations and correspondence with Alex and his agent, it became apparent Alex had a desire to continue his development as a young player in the KHL," Winnipeg general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff said in a statement. "He remains a very talented player within the Jets organization and we will continue to monitor his progress and development going forward."
Burmistrov had 58 points in 194 games.

"It's a little bit like he had the pregnancy and I'm holding his hand through Lamaze."
Meanwhile, their active work schedules have left the couple little time for wedding planning. "If there is a scale between 0 and 10, I'm at like negative 10," Ferrara says. "I haven't gone there and [am] not thinking about it. We got engaged and then left for Iraq the next day."

Suppose $M=\left \{ f\in L^1([0,1])\, |\, 0<f(x)<\frac 1{\sqrt x} \text{almost everywhere on} \, (0,1) \right\}$.
Is it true or not, that $M$ is totally bounded?
Suppose $M=\left \{ f\in L^1([0,1])\, |\, 0<f(x)<\frac 1{\sqrt x} \text{almost everywhere on} \, (0,1) \right\}$.
Is it true or not, that $M$ is totally bounded?
It is not totally bounded.
For an abstract reason why not, note that $M$ contains a ball of the $L^\infty$ norm. If $M$ were totally bounded then the inclusion $L^\infty([0,1]) \hookrightarrow L^1([0,1])$ would be compact. But it isn't.
We can use the example given there to make a concrete proof. Let $e_n(x) = \sin(2 \pi n x)$. It's well known, and simple to check, that the $e_n$ are orthogonal in $L^2([0,1])$, i.e. $\int_0^1 e_n(x) e_m(x)\,dx = 0$ for $n \ne m$. We also have $\int_0^1 e_n(x)^2\,dx = \frac{1}{2}$. We can then observe that, for $n \ne m$, $\int_0^1 (e_n(x) - e_m(x))^2\,dx = 1$.
Now, noting that $\frac{1}{2}|e_n - e_m| \le 1$, we have $\frac{1}{2}|e_n - e_m| \ge \frac{1}{4}|e_n - e_m|^2$. Thus, for $n \ne m$, we have $$\frac{1}{2} \int_0^1 |e_n(x) - e_m(x)|\,dx \ge \frac{1}{4} \int_0^1 (e_n(x)-e_m(x))^2 \,dx = \frac{1}{4}.$$ So we have shown $\lVert e_n - e_m \rVert_1 \ge 1/2$.
Set $f_n = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} e_n$. Then $\frac{1}{4} \le f_n \le \frac{3}{4}$ so $f_n \in M$, and we have $\lVert f_n - f_m \rVert_1 \ge \frac{1}{8}$ for all $n \ne m$. Thus if we have any cover of $M$ by balls of some radius $\epsilon < \frac{1}{16}$, each ball can contain at most one of the $f_n$, and hence the cover is not finite.
Another useful set of functions in $M$ are the 'square waves'. Let $f_1$ be the indicator function of $\cup_{i=0}^{\infty} [i, i+\frac{1}{2}]$, and define $f_{n+1}(x) = f(2^n x)$. It is simple to show that $||f_n - f_m|| = \frac{1}{4}$ as long as $m\neq n$.

At Monday's Emmy Award ceremony there were gowns of all colors and descriptions. The dominant colors were red, white, and blue. There were also gowns in almost every other color as well. My favorite was the gown worn by Beyonce. It was a sparkly and sheer silver dress that accentuated her body. She looked great. Here is what some of the other stars wore.
Julia Roberts wore a statement making dark blue Ellie Saab Haute Couture gown with beading, and a mid thigh skirt. The look was light and fun. She was a bit nervous though as she told E! News. "It's nerve-wracking to wear long. There's the tripping factor."
Quite a few stars wore full skirts, Sarah Paulson, Mayim Bialik, and Betsey Brandt were among them.

Products and Manufacturers
The Area being Modelled is :-
A Database for Products and Manufacturers
Its been awhile since I was here and forgot about it till I did some searching.
Found your website again and brings me back to trying to learn more.
I am confused and can not get a proper database design figured out.
I have loads of data needing to put in an organized manner and even though
it is different items they do end up relating.
Products, manufacturers, primary companies, company brands, telephone numbers (100s of 1000) of them,
drawings and contractors.
It is alot of data and just can not see how to make it all link and work together.
I have some parts an pieces of databases.
Not sure if it should be multiple databases or one large one.
I think your site will start me off but if you have a better starting point you can direct me to
for best practices or something would be great.
Barry has defined the 'Things of Interest' as follows :-
A.1 Companies (Primary, etc.)
A.2 Company Brands
A.3 Contractors
A.4 Drawings
A.5 Manufacturers
A.6 Products
A.7 Telephone Numbers
A.8 Others to be determined

Elizabeth E. Derck Moravian volunteer, Warwick Ambulance treasurer
Elizabeth Ellen Spencer Derck, "Betsie," mother, grandmother and friend, passed away peacefully in bed at the Moravian Manor Sunday, Aug. 26, 2012. She fought a hard fight for the last few months and is now in peace with God. A few months ago we celebrated her 80th Birthday, and a friend said it well: "She is the greatest person I have ever met." We will all miss her.
She was born Feb. 18, 1932 and grew up in Abington.
She graduated from Abington High School and Pierce School of Business in Philadelphia. She was a partner in the Backporch Candle Shoppe, one of the first shops created within Zum Anker Alley in downtown Lititz. Betsie was very active in the community. She was a member of the Lititz Moravian Congregation for 40+ years and was president, trustee, financial secretary, taught Bible school and volunteered in the church office for 20 years. She was the president of the Lititz Women's Club, president of ABC of Lititz, and assistant treasurer of Warwick Ambulance for 10 years. She also wrote and performed in ABC shows and helped at the Meals on Wheels. She was active at Moravian Manor, working in the gift shop and as president of the Lamplighters Association. She was honored with the Mildred Bender Award in 2009. She was passionate about reading, gardens, flowers, playing bridge with friends and staying in touch on her iPad. She enjoyed her life, had many friends and was loved by all.
Betsie was a proud mother of three: Gary, husband of Janet Derck, of Durango, Colo.; Linda Derck Majikes, wife of Matthew Majikes, of Richmond, Va.; and Robert R., husband of Stacey Derck, of Lititz. She leaves a legacy of five grandchildren: Alden Derck, Matthew Majikes Jr., Daniel Majikes, Robert Derck III (Trey) and Nathan Derck.
She is preceded in death by her brother: Clinton R. Spencer Jr., of Lansdale; and parents: Clinton R. Spencer and Ellen Elizabeth Strode.
A memorial service was held on Sept. 3 at the Moravian Church at 10:30 a.m. with a reception following at Steinman Hall at Moravian Manor. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Moravian Manor Benevolent Care Fund, 300 W Lemon St., Lititz, PA 17543.

The Speculative Fiction Community and Save the Pearls
21 Aug
About a week ago, I had some Things to say about the whole Save the Pearls ballyhoo. I'd even written up a blog and everything. Then, my computer and I had some intense artistic differences and I lost my saved copy. I eventually decided not to attempt to reconstruct it for what I think is a good reason and it's entirely possible that, given my reasons, this blog will seem incredibly illogical, but I find myself in a double-bind. Basically, I think Victoria Foyt has done a masterful job of manipulating the spec-fic community into talking about her book for weeks on end and I didn't want to contribute to that, even if I had critiques. Now, however, I feel like I need to get this out because a community that is really important to me is being exploited and I don't want to remain silent about it.
By most accounts, Revealing Eden: Save the Pearls is not a very good book. Many reviewers have pointed out the clunky, unexciting prose (excerpted portions seem to support this) others have argued that the characters are weak and less than memorable and the plot is a bog-standard coming of age adventure story with nothing to set it apart. The growing acceptance of and access to self-publishing, as well as the popularity of ebooks, has led to a real glut in the market, especially in YA and, as with traditional publishing, there's a wide array of quality and a reader simply has to sift through the sea to find something worth reading. And a book has to have some sort of hook to stand out. By its own merits, this book would not have attracted the kind of attention all over the web that is has lately.
But Revealing Eden does have a hook, of course: it's super-racist. Now, I agree with those who had said that Victoria Foyt didn't "intend" to be racist, but intent matters fuck-all, quite frankly and I absolutely do believe that Victoria Foyt used and exploited hurtful imagery to sell her shitty YA novel. I don't believe for a second that she didn't understand how upsetting blackface would be when she created and released her infamous promotional YouTube video. I think her intent was to provoke attention first and, as a very distant second, make some wrong-headed attempt at a statement on racism. But first she had to get people to read the book.
Even this, though, is hardly that noteworthy. As N.K. Jemison noted in her excellent essay on this issue "…poorly written books are a dime a dozen and so are racist texts." So Foyt herself waded into the fray and poked the bear. A dumb racist book is a dumb racist book, an author who argues that her detractors are too lunkheaded or themselves racist to understand the book properly…now that's good internet controversy! This was especially brilliantly timed, considering the recent controversy over the despicable Stop the GR Bullies blog and the issue of alleged "author bullying" and then, sure enough, GR Bullies immediately championed Foyt (arguing, hilariously, that she couldn't be racist because she…said she wasn't racist. Oh, okay. She would be the authority on racism, clearly.)
When Foyt first made a splash with her Facebook/HuffPo whine, people wondered how an author could be so dumb, why she didn't just do the obviously correct thing and stop talking. But I think now that Foyt is far from dumb, at least when is comes to PR. She didn't want or need to be liked; she wanted to generate interest in her book. And, when it comes to internet drama, there really is no such thing as bad publicity, everybody wants to slow down and rubberneck.
It's clear to me that Foyt had a good understanding of how to generate press for her novel, even before all this exploded. The things she did—the website and even the video—are the kind of things that indie authors are encouraged to do to get the word out about their work. And hers are fairly sophisticated examples, at least in terms of production values. I don't know anything about Foyt's economic situation, but it does seem that she has devoted a certain amount of money to publicizing this book, especially if claims that she purchased her glowing reviews and prestigious YA award are true (you can find discussion of the dubious award here and a very comprehensive look at Foyt sockpuppet reviews at this blog). These are all smart things to do. Smart things, though not necessarily ethical things.
I think Foyt partnering with Weird Tales was very natural, in light of all this. She wanted reviews badly enough to allegedly pay for them and she had set herself up as a martyr to the mean readers of the internet and this is apparently what she brought to Marvin Kaye. But I think there's a very good reason why she didn't pull this shit (or it didn't work) with, say, Fantasy and Science Fiction or Asimov's. Weird Tales is and has been, since Ann VanderMeer and her team were summarily dismissed earlier in the year, a controversial entity in the spec-fic community. As Damien G. Walter points out, it wasn't just that Ann VanderMeer is generally well-liked in the community (though I do think that was part of it) but rather than, under Ann's leadership, Weird Tales moved away from what it had once represented; the somewhat outmoded side of pulp, and towards a sensibility more in keeping with the current state of spec-fic: a place more diverse and thoughtful about that diversity. Those who didn't openly withdraw their support from the magazine after Ann left were still awaiting the first issue with a certain wariness, a certain fear that we would see a return to the unconsidered veneration of complicated and controversial figures like Lovecraft and the stories that those people told.
And I also agree with Damien that Kaye's inexplicable choice to publish Revealing Eden in Weird Tales (that's a very, very bizarre move for a periodical like Weird Tales, it doesn't make sense economically as well as artistically) was a statement. Foyt may well have approached other editors, but I think Kaye latched on to her work because something about it spoke to him and seemed, in his mind, a good fit for the magazine. So good, in fact, that he made it essentially his first editorial statement. In announcing his support of this novel, he was saying "this is what Weird Tales does now. This is what we are." It was provocative and, judging from the immediate back-pedal, a little too provocative. Didn't understand what they were playing with, indeed.
I'll note here that I don't buy the back-pedal for a minute. I think it pays crappy lip-service to objections that the editors don't actually understand, only fear. I think its far more likely that the editorial staff made a decision that they knew was inflammatory but they did not expect the extent of the backlash, because, like Victoria Foyt, they are unnuanced thinkers when it comes to race and they do not fully understand the character of the spec-fic community as it stands today. Even if you believe their story of not knowing about the controversy, the whole thing still suggests a shocking lack of editorial continuity and, most critically, really poor judgement and even worse taste. If Marvin Kaye read Revealing Eden and didn't see any problems with it; if he had to fucking google it to figure out what was wrong with a stupid paean to the imaginary issue of reverse racism, then he has bad taste and bad judgement.
I think this was a failure for Weird Tales, but not for Victoria Foyt. And I think that's because Victoria Foyt is working from a different value for "failure" and "success." She has kept her book in the public eye for another week and even introduced it to a new potential audience of people who want to see for themselves what the outrage is about. Basically, she played us. The spec community was ready to be outraged at Weird Tales and she simply provided the spark.
This is not to say that I think Victoria Foyt "did it for the lulz." I think much of her reactions and actions were actually very genuine. I think she is very ignorant about how racism works for actual non-white people and I think she's unwilling to address her ignorance in any meaningful way. I think she does feel attacked unfairly and I think she does believe that her book is meditation on how destructive racism is. I think she truly believes that, if she can just get people to read the book, they will come around to her way of thinking. I also think she has excellent instincts for how to get and hold on to attention and a good nose for finding similarly controversial people and groups (Stop the GR Bullies, Weird Tales) and leap-frogging off of their notoriety. And I think, unfortunately, that she'll be laughing all the way to the bank on this one.
So where does this leave us? Despite what Victoria Foyt and the people behind Stop the GR Bullies seem to think, criticism is not a personal attack, criticism is not a violence done to those criticized (criticism can of course be bundled with personal attacks and violence but they are by no means intrinsically linked). As a community, we do have a right and a responsibility to patrol and define ourselves. To say "this is acceptable" and, perhaps more importantly, "this is not acceptable." As a writer and as a reader, I oppose Weird Tales. I'm pretty mercenary when it comes to submissions because if I don't treat myself like a professional, no one else will. I refuse to submit to markets that don't pay, even if it's just five dollars. Weird Tales is not a SFWA-qualifying market at this time, it pays less than pro-rates. Yet, at one time, it was in my top tier of places to send my stories because it had a reputation I respected and an audience I wanted access to. But it's now joining the short list of places I will not submit to for ethical reasons and it seems that many others are doing the same.
If there is a bright spot in this sea of bullshit, it's Mary Robinette Kowal's generous underwriting of Shimmer Magazine, allowing them to pay pro rates. Shimmer is a magazine I really enjoy as well as a market I'm proud to be published in and I am very moved by the ways in which the community is willing to shape its own narrative, as it were. We are not perfect, but I think, as a whole, speculative fiction is moving towards a more inclusive and diverse constellation of people and publications and I am heartened by this rejection of an attempt to regress us. We are authors of the strange, the never-was and will-be; it is our job to reach for the stars.

Parisian La Femme's synthy drum beat-bopper intro quickly established their unashamedly 80s electro-pop/lo-fi surf-erotica retro credentials writ large. As for their weird-kitsch dancing…OMG OMD! Come back Andy McCluskey – your choreograph carnage sins are forgiven. Weedy Argos keyboards trim-phone farted like the exposition credits theme to late 70s ITV sci-fi series 'UFO'. The one with the fit flying-saucer interceptor fighter-pilot 'Angels' in baco-foil micro skirts and purple-bobbed Sylvia Anderson wigs (ask your dad!). An amorphous Frankenstein love-child of Plastic Bertrand singing merdy blues for rootless electro-orphans seeking an illusionary comfort-zone in binary nostalgia. And its nouveau naive bare-faced chic is proving to be rather popular – mon Dieu!
When Tyneside Tory baiters, Maximo Park, released 'The National Health' album last June with an initial limited-edition run of signed copies and free David Cameron fright-masks (allegedly) it was yet another reassuring reminder of their no-bollocks sincerity. Was it as far back as November 2010 when Paul Smith last played Birmingham touring his solo album 'Margins' at the Glee Club? A rapidly sold-out Institute tonight confirmed that devoted fans still have long memories and deep hearts swelling with affection for a band whose snappy-tight, no nonsense, vocal chorus anthems and clipped guitar frenzy defined a teenage generation. And, judging by this evening's demographic, quite a few mums and dads as well.
With the diagonal Maximo backdrop logo bathed in Vimto claret and silhouetted Fresnel standing lamps about the stage lending an Italian art-house film studio tableau all was set for a night of Max to the max mayhem. Disappointment was never going to be an option. Two austere ceiling spots spill on to the inevitably be-hatted Paul Smith singing a cappella to subdued ballad teaser 'When I was Wild' from latest album 'The National Health'. Is it an invitation to the dedicated fans to allow some space for the new material? 'Do I really need/To give an introduction?/Must the artist bleed/Over the new production?' Possibly, but time for introspection exploded in a Big-Bang plasmic blaze of light as Smith leapt so high in the air he must've been wired-up to a cattle-prod enema. Proving yet again the axiom 'Maximo Park's brand of guitar pop is distinctly British and pogo-ready.' (CMJ)
The eponymous album title track 'National Heath' formally opened the show with its octane-fueled fury and Smith declaring, 'BIRMINGHAM – we are Maximo Park!'along with proffering effusive thanks for us having to queue in the crappy rain. 'Girls Who Play Guitars' had an intriguing resonance with its staccato-sharp time-signature shifts so beloved by fellow Tyne-siders, Field Music. 'Hips & Lips' was mordantly doom-soaked in low red lighting and that keening, incessant guitar riff.
Time for some wishful, imaginary seaside romance with the sandcastle fragile allegory to love and loss, 'The Coast Is Always Changing.' There was a noticeably lesser crowd chorus engagement with some of the new songs which, on occasion, adhere more to formula than originality, but judging by those two kids on the end row balcony utterly caught-up in the magic – Smith could've revealed a 'Vote Tory' tattoo on his butt and got away with it. Not surprisingly, for many the highlight of the night was the 'Going Missing' with the Institute rafters duly high punched almost to splinters. Many another favourite was equally embraced. An outstanding, uplifting evening and Paul Smith's lyrics really do deserve closer attention. See to it.
