NFL Divisional Playoff Predictions
January 12, 2013
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
1) New England vs. Houston
This one's easy. New England, without a doubt in my mind. The Texans are a great team, but not quite good enough to knock off Tom Brady and the Patriots at home, in the playoffs. Stranger things have happened, but as far as I'm concerned, the Patriots will go through to the NFC championship game.
2) Baltimore vs. Denver
Again, it's another no brainer. Even with Ray Lewis back, the Ravens don't have the firepower to get through Peyton Manning, nor the offensive ability to match the Broncos. On top of that, Peyton is having one of the best seasons of his career. For the Ravens, it's just not happening. They will certainly rise to the occasion and put up a good fight, but at the end of the day, they won't be able to get it done.
3) San Francisco vs .Green Bay
This is where things get tricky. I could really see this game going either way. From a logical, stat based standpoint, I would have to go with the Packers. But being a huge niners fan aside, I could really see them taking this. They're playing at home in Candlestick, where they've been outstanding this season. Also, with the change at quarterback, I think that the packers might have trouble containing Kaepernick. San Francisco's run game has also been superb this year, and Green Bay doesn't have the best run defense. I'm taking the Forty-Niners in a nail-biter.
4) Seattle vs. Atlanta
Again, this one is a tough pick. Matt Ryan doesn't lose at home…ever. They had one loss in the regular season, and they are obviously a strong team. But Seattle's been playing some great football. Wilson is doing an amazing job with the Seahawks, and could very easily lead them to Super Bowl victories in the future. I do not think this will be the case this year, but I believe they will get through to the next round. I'm probably the minority, saying that the Falcons will lose, but I have a tremendous amount of confidence in Russell Wilson's abilities. UPSET ALERT!

The problem with the world
By hendel on Dec 21, 2005
My father in law says that the problem with the world is more people writing than reading. He has been saying it for decades. Who wrote that? I would riposte then, in my impertinent days before the Internet. We fight this battle one book at a time, or more. My father, for example, has multiple books in progress in different rooms. No, I haven´t told them about Blogs, and how Blogs exacerbate the world´s maladie now that any impertinent like me can write and publish.
The Web started fine, no writer surplus when pages were predominantly read-only static content. Mundane stuff did not deserve to be on the net; I was homepageless for many years. Static content concentration resulted in browsers accessing the same content over time, so Web caches made sense. Caching content at large aggregation points, like corporate Internet access proxies and at service providers, saved bandwidth and shortened response times. If you use something often, keep it close to you. What a concept... Processors keep cache lines in fast on-chip memory, operating systems keep file system caches in system memory, and restaurants keep the most popular dishes pre-cooked ready to heat and serve.
Except for mutual fund fees, which are damn predictable regardless of future performance, past behavior may not be a good predictor for the future, warns the prospectus. Such warnings fit the Web cache case, though. Web usage evolved to include much more dynamic content. Content is now highly customized to our identities, and cannot be days old. Auction sites, brokerage houses, and blogs demand content that is personal and timely; the impact on infrastructure is simple, it drives more bandwidth and end-point capacity so that this content can be assembled and served fresh. The Moore-Shannon match I described in a previous post gives us more endpoint and channel capacity in the servers and the plumbing that make up the net. I mean no disrespect by skipping the sophisticated distributed caching and tiered processing that also make up the net, I am exaggerating to highlight how brute force caching is becoming less useful.
Expectedly, brute force caching is not the best culinary choice either. We sent men to the moon but haven't made a reheated pizza that tastes the same, and in spite of decades of civil aviation pre-brewed airline coffee smell is as cruel a torture as coach class legroom. Stashing pre-cooked dishes in a BIG refrigerator is brute force cuisine. I am here to advocate the Big Oven approach instead.
Incidentally, we faced the same choice when we created our CMT UltraSPARC T1 processor. Allocate more transistors and power resources to caching or save them for the processing resources themselves. Larger caches in processors ARE the brute force approach. In our case, just like most restaurants, we were optimizing for throughput (and particularly throughput per Watt), and there was a better solution, vertical threading. By making each of the eight cores in the UltraSPARC T1 vertically threaded, AND by having a wide memory interface (23 Gbytes/sec bandwidth) the cores can keep retiring instructions in the face of long latency memory accesses, which is exactly the same problem tackled with caches. Long latency memory accesses are like cooking steps in culinary recipes, you must wait for the oven to do its thing, and that takes a while.
Cautious customers and, as of our product launch also some competitors, ask how an eight core CMT can perform with just a 3 Mbyte L2 cache. Isn't our CMT like eight processors in a single socket, shouldn't it have eight times the cache of traditional processors to keep them individually busy. Well, the whole point is that CMT addresses the memory latency problem through vertical threads, and this makes it much less sensitive to cache size because it is less sensitive to cache misses in the first place. Instead of a large refrigerator full of pre-cooked dishes to be heated and garnished by a single overworked cook, we put a large oven and hired eight nimble cooks. The cooks were taught how to handle four orders at a time (just like my father does with books), and whenever one of these orders goes in the oven they switch immediately to one of the other three that is not in the oven. That is why the large 23 Gbytes/sec oven is important, it holds up to four orders for each of the eight cooks at the same time.
We explained this approach to cautious customers through architecture and modelling data, but the most convincing step, in computers as in food, is testing and tasting. Trust the Explanations but test the product. Two weeks back I heard about the "try and buy" program. Evaluate the CMT box and only buy it if you want to keep it. Not many restaurants go that far. Some won't even let you in the kitchen to look inside those BIG refrigerators. I am not sure the "try and buy" program will satisfy competitors. After all competitors react in disparage or embrace modalities. Questioning the cache size is an example of the disparage modality. The embrace modality was used by another competitor, first claiming they already had multi-core vertical threaded network processors, and more recently announcing CMT plans themselves.
Network processors (aka NPUs) are indeed vertically threaded processors. Unlike NPUs the UltraSPARC T1 is a vertically threaded general purpose processor, with all the software development advantages of standard tools and languages, full memory protection, virtual memory, cache coherency across cores (at L1 and of course the shared L2), arbitrarily large program memory, and no collaborative thread yielding constraints. The UltraSPARC T1 is a good foundation for I/O and network facing workloads without the programming quirks of network processors. Competitors arguing they already have CMT technology is akin to comedian Benny Hill's reaction when told about Neutron bombs that destroy people without damaging their buildings. "Oh, we already have them in England, we call them mortgages". That is how similar they are...
As for embracing CMT as their future direction, that would be just flattering.

EXTRA CREDIT: How can patriotism be a negative force--a cause to war? Think nationalism and WWI.
EXTRA CREDIT (2): How can concern for your national security be a negative force--a cause to war? Think militarism and WWI.
9 comments:
Extra Credit 1. If you have too much self assurance in your own country, might think that your country is unbeatable in any situation. This arrogance can lead to war.ReplyDelete
Extra Credit 2. Concern for your countries security can be a bad thing by that you believe that your country should solve all it's problem militarily. This can quickly lead to war.
-Braden Thier
Extra Credit 1: If a country becomes to arrogant they may think they can't be defeated and therefore want to cause war with other countries like in WW1 Germany was beating Britain in size and navel force so Britain expanded and that provoked Germany.ReplyDelete
Extra Credit 2: If a country is concerned they might try to bulk up their army and then other countries try to stop that which leads to war
- Derek Hickman, Esq.April 24, 2014 at 9:45 PM
1. Patriotism can be a negative force because people can be so patriotic they become racist. One such example is Western Expansion. We assimilated their culture and thought it was for the good of our country. The Serb that assassinated Archduke Ferdinand thought he was doing a service to the country and made his fellow kinsmen rise up in a twisted patriotism that would be viewed as terrorism today.ReplyDelete
2. Concern for national security could cause a sense of injustice when a threat appears. People tend to want to defend their home and the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was a pre-emptive strike. The same could be said about Pearl Harbor. Japan knew it was going o be in a conflict with us and decided to take out our main Pacific naval base. The Serbs thought they could throw the Austrians into a panic by assassinating the heir to the throne, but Emperor Franz Joseph couldn't care less. Austria only declared war when threatened by the Serbs.
1. Patriotism could be a cause of war, if you believe that your country is the greatest, and want to have control over yourselves. Hence when the Black Hand assassinated Archduke Ferdinand, they wanted to rule over themselves, which sparked all of WWI.ReplyDelete
2. When countries began declaring war, many alliances came into play. Being allies with someone who is in a war, could totally jeopardize your national security, especially when you find yourself in the middle of an arms race.
Sarah Moen:ReplyDelete
1. Patriotism can be a negative force and a cause to war when patriotism turns to nationalism. At that point, it turns from love for one's country to the belief that one's country is far superior to all others, and that nothing will be able to beat them. For example, extreme nationalism in the European countries prior to the start of World War I provided the sparks for war. Every country believed it was indestructible.
2. Concern for national security can be a negative force and a cause to war when a nation arms itself past what is necessary. This is known as militarism, and commonly originates in nationalism. Countries seeking to prove that they are the biggest and best will do so with their armed forces. They will seek out every new kind of military technology. However, this increased national security may cause other countries to become nervous, leading them to do the same. Soon enough, the countries will find themselves declaring war due to the threat of the other country.

EXTRA CREDIT: How can patriotism be a negative force--a cause to war? Think nationalism and WWI.
Patriotism can easily cause war. When patriots are overly patriotic, they become racists, racists or should I say "nationalists." These nationalists cause problems in foreign affairs, by protesting change, or the allowance of immigration. When a country's citizens insult foreigners these foreigners grow to hate the country, causing war. During war nationalists create hate in their country towards the other country by convincing others that having enemies is "the American thing to do."
EXTRA CREDIT: How can patriotism be a negative force--a cause to war? Think nationalism and WWI.ReplyDelete
The presence of patriotism in a country will cause the country to become more likely to go to war - a patriotic country tend to think that it is better and more important than other countries. Another thing is that it will react strongly if the country is insulted, and the thought of war might not seem like a bad thing if the country is arrogant and has too much confidence. For example, one of the things that made America enter WWI was the famous De Lôme letter, in which the President was insulted.
EXTRA CREDIT (2): How can concern for your national security be a negative force--a cause to war? Think militarism and WWI.
When a country is concerned for its security, it is more anxious, and there's a good chance it will expand their military. If other countries do the same, they will all make each other improve their military. When Russia mobilized their army, it was another factor provoking Germany and getting the war going.

Patriotism can become a strong negative force and in some cases contribute to the outbreak of a war. During WWI in Germany people were patriotic for their country, so patriotic in fact that it could be a viewed as nationalism. Nationalism like patriotism requires a great love for your country but it also implies that your country is the best or is invincible. The nationalism that was present in Germany at this period was a big factor in going to war. The press spread the wildfire and the citizens put their full faith in their powerful government and pleaded for war.ReplyDelete

Reply for EC 2.ReplyDelete
Concern for your national security can hold negative influence and even cause war. Wilson tried to maintain America's neutrality in the European wars but with attacks coming closer and closer to home, many Americans felt threatened. Germany's vastly militaristic and nationalist attitude only heightened the alarm. Citizens began choosing sides and calling for war as the only response to being threatened by the European War.

As one of China's Historical and Cultural Cities, Zigong is called "Lantern Town of the South Kingdom". Zigong Lantern Festival is one of the largest folk cultural activities in China and generally lasts around a month. This festival attracts people from China and around the world.
The festival started from the Tang dynasty (AD 618–907) and has been held every year since then. During the festival thousands of China's colorful traditional lanterns made of bamboo, silk, paper, glass bottles, and porcelain tableware are displayed. Most of the funny and beautiful lantern shapes are based on myths, legends, folk customs, historical stories, movies and TV stories.
The festival features a variety of smaller fairs, such as Lion Lantern Fair, Mantianguohai Lantern Fair, and Niu'er Lantern Fair. All of them are full of local folk flavor, and form a profound cultural heritage.
China Highlights' Chengdu memories tour is a well-designed tour combining the best in Chengdu, Zigong, and other cities in Sichuan Province.
Ticket prices: Adults 100 yuan during the Spring Festival, 30 RMB at other times. Half fare for children, and free for the seniors (over 70).
Address: Zigong Colored Lantern Park, Ziliujing District, Zigong, Sichuan, China(四川省自贡市自流井区自贡彩灯公园)
Getting there: Zigong Colored Lantern Park can be reached by bus 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 31, 35, 37, 39, 301, and 302. Zigong is 215 km (3 hours) south of Chengdu and a similar distance west of Chongqing.

In my last post here on Vinography I mulled, tongue-in-cheek about the impact of wine on the hallowed halls of civilization, and in particular on the English language. Fun and games aside, wine and language are just as inextricably entwined through history as wine and culture. Lest there be any doubt, one need look no further than the northern coasts of Dalmatia, which has been making wine from a grape with a strangely (to English speakers) familiar name for two centuries.
Actually the winemaking traditions in Croatia go back well before the Roman Empire, though it was the Romans who brought significant rigor, scale, and methodology to the production of grapes in the area. The winemaking traditions in the region was strong enough (like it's neighbors Austria and Hungary) to survive through the ages, even through the anti-alcohol policies of the Ottoman empire. Croatia happens to be home to some of the best Slavonian oak forests in the world, and like many areas of central and eastern Europe, has some very interesting indigenous varietals.
Over the last thousand years, at least since the Ottomans finished marching about in central Europe, life in the fishing villages of Dalmatia was pretty idyllic by anyone's standards. But then one day a little guy named Napoleon arrived in the late 18th century and started making everyone's life a bit more difficult again. One of the things the Emperor demanded, of course, were the payment of taxes, and not having much else besides small quantities of fish, which the French had plenty of anyway, the Croatians opted to pay with a certain wine grape.
No one knows exactly what it was called before then, but ever since, the grape and the wine made from it, have been known as Debit.
For 33-year-old winemaker and winery owner Alan Bibich, this is one square in a much larger patchwork quilt of Croatian winemaking history that he has been handed down from five generations of family, but one that is close to his heart. Educated in the study of the Croatian language, Bibich actually taught the subject at the university level before becoming a full-time winemaker. It was not certain that he would continue the family tradition of winemaking, but in the end he felt strongly that he could not leave the vineyards untended and the barrels empty.
Since 1995 Bibich and his wife have been running the family winery and the retail wine shop the own in the town of Skradin. Bibich's winemaking skills have been learned from family and from lots of trial and error. While his own satisfaction with the quality of his wine has been a slow 11-year road, his business success has been less than sluggish. The family now owns wine stores in several other villages, has 12 employees, and produces close to 70,000 cases of wine.
In addition to this white wine from Debit, the winery also produces a red blend (of local varietals Babich, Plavina, and Lasin), a Shiraz, and a Grenache. Bibich has been planting and experimenting with other native varieties which he hopes to bring to market in the future.
This wine is made from 100% Debit, and is aged in new American oak barrels for 18 months before release.
Tasting Notes:
Light gold in color, this wine smells of toasted croutons, old parchment, pine sap, and the dry forest floor. In the mouth it has lovely bright acidity, a satiny mouthfeel, and a chalky mineral flavor profile with light green fruits that hover in the starfruit or unripe kiwifruit zone with a hint of vanilla and buttery aspects on the finish. This is a varietal that definitely has its own flavors, with could be described as having some similarities to Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Riesling, or Gruner Veltliner, in different ways. Quite tasty and lots of fun to drink.
Food Pairing:
This is an extremely food friendly varietal, at least as it has been made in this wine. I'd pair this wine with something that has a light sweetness to it, like this red onion, goat cheese and basil tart.
Overall Score: 9
How Much?: $13

Demolition of the old structure involved approx. 4700 linear feet of roadways, including 150 spans, yet the plan allowed complete road closure for just one weekend.
One full-oscillation DB-60 can cover nearly 125,000 square feet more than (11,600 square meters) with a highly efficient dust-trapping mist.
When completed, the new parkway will reveal striking views of the Presidio and San Francisco Bay.
Equipped with a 10-hp booster pump to increase water pressure as much as 150 psi from a 2-inch supply hose, the DB-60 has an adjustable elevation angle from 0-50 degrees. The unit can also be outfitted with a dosing pump to accommodate odor control additives or surfactants to further enhance binding of dust particles.
The DB-60 uses a straightforward, direct-drive fan motor. It has no drive belts, diesel engines, or complex gear systems that could present dependability problems in the difficult service environment of a demolition site. Despite its size, the machine requires minimal maintenance. Lubrication of fan motor bearings is recommended every 10,000 hours, while the oscillation motor is lubricated for life.
In CalTrans worksites, dust control is no longer a luxury but a contractually mandated component of demolition, construction, and certain types of maintenance work, subject to inspection. "Particularly in the city and greater San Francisco Bay area, dust suppression strategies and techniques are constantly being reviewed and refined," Yan says. "There's been increasing focus and scrutiny on developing multipronged approaches to site maintenance, including dust management and water pollution prevention."
With the increase in materials recycling onsite, and trends toward tighter regulation of jobsite effluent of all kinds, industry professionals are more motivated than ever to find efficient, cost-effective methods of dust suppression.
With the significant reduction in airborne dust, Yan and his crews contributed to a healthier workplace on the complex Doyle Drive demolition project, while protecting the surrounding communities and natural environment.
"I was particularly impressed by the range of the unit, and the relatively low noise level during operation," he says. "The ability to easily mobilize and relocate the units as needed was also a big advantage." Also, effective suppression minimized the opportunity for abrasive dust to enter air intakes on heavy equipment, extending air filter life and reducing the potential for unnecessary wear.
"This was a very high-profile job," Yan adds. "Our goal was to take all practical measures, using the best technology available, to mitigate the demolition dust and safeguard people, property, and the environment."

Mark Bright writes one of the most insipid football columns I have ever read in the daily London Metro. Today he ventures that Newcastle "might" go down, Man United "shouldn't" bottle it against Porto and Arsenal "should" challenge the big three for trophies next season. It must have taken him all of forty seconds to come up with these controversial views.
He did however write something which I found amusing. While pontificating on the Newcastle debacle, he announced that we are looking at a "Six, Seven, Eight situation". Shortly after the full stop, some tumble weed blew over the page as everybody's brows furrowed in confusion, so Bright wisely elaborates in brackets (six games left, seven points, separating eight teams). Oh, of course that is what it meant! Poor old Mark - I guess it's a given that if you need to explain a chosen phrase in brackets afterwards, it's probably not as effective prose as you originally thought. Nonetheless, I shall endeavor to use this "Brightism" for the rest of the week, and will hopefully incorporate it into a few meetings.
"I understand your concern Mr Credit Officer, but we feel that position is adequately collateralized, although admittedly we are looking at a 100/3/Zero situation."
"Can you just elaborate on that last point?"
"100 names, three defaults, zero liquidity. Obviously."
Anyhow, I played one poker tournament this weekend - the £50 Saturday affair at Loose Cannon, which attracted about 50 runners. 6k starting stack with a 20 minute clock. Here is how it went down:
I have not seen a hand in the first 3 levels, and am down to about a 4.5k stack when the following nonsense happens. UTG limps for 300 and the next to act intentionally makes it SIX THOUSAND which is one third of his big stack. I, of course, find bloody pocket Jacks in the big blind for my tournament life. I haven't been at the table long, but the guy seemed to know what he was doing. I figure the very best case scenario is AK, so I elect to pass. He shows AK.
I shove it all in at the 200-400 level with AsKs. I get isolated by 99 and win the race to get to 8kish. This comes at a welcome time as we immediately go into a 10/5/34 situation. (10 minute break/before 5th level/34 players remain)
I go down to about 6k after being raised off pots, before getting it all in with AK, and hold up against someone's rather optimistic call with AJ. Up to 12k.
Key, key hand - probably would have been close to chip lead if I had won this pot. I raise to 1600 at the 300-600 level and guy shoves for 6k total. I call with QQ, he has AQ sooted. I hit the case queen on the turn, but he rivers a flush. Down to 6k.
I am playing about 8k at the 600/1200 level when the following hand comes up. It is passed round to the SB who is playing 18k. He puts me all in for my last 8k cold. He has seemed a competent player throughout and I have been pretty tight. With my image, I would be open shoving a huge range here from the small blind, so I decide that K8 off is ahead of his range, and make a hero/donk call depending on your view. He has 82 off so is crushed and I hold to move to 16k.
We are now in a 8/9/17 situation (8th level / "M" of 9 / 17 players remain) when my demise occurs. I find 33 in earlyish position and raise to 3300 (unintended betting tell). Big blind calls.
Flop Q, 6, 4 (two spades)
This is kind of a good flop for me as long as he has no queen. Stack sizes are really awkward though, as I have 13k back and the pot is now 7k. He checks to me so I decide to just bang it in, so he can't call the flush (in theory) and also should have trouble calling a weak Queen. However, I get snapped with QT and am drawing thin and it doesn't come.
Marginal tournament play improvement I guess.

Aug 21, 2013
New Orleans - Tulane Head Football coach Curtis Johnson, New Orleans Saints Executive Vice President and General Manager Mickey Loomis, LSU Coordinator of Football Relations Charles Baglio and Newman Head Football coach Nelson Stewart are the featured speakers at the first meeting of the Greater New Orleans Quarterback Club on Monday, August 26 at noon at The Cannery, 3803 Toulouse Street in New Orleans.
Johnson is building a program from the ground up with many Louisiana products, aggressively seeking to keep the state's vast talent at home. A native of the New Orleans area, Johnson previously served for six years as wide receivers coach of the New Orleans Saints and was part of the magical Super Bowl championship run in 2009.
The Cannery is an outstanding reception hall for all types of events, located behind the American Can Company Building.
Sponsored by Compliance Technology, the Greater New Orleans Quarterback Club enters its 75th year in 2013, promoting the very best of amateur football, along with the New Orleans Saints.
Annual membership is $50. Members and non-members are invited to the weekly luncheons, which are held every Monday for 17 consecutive weeks, with the exception of Tuesday, September 3, the day after Labor Day, running through Monday, December 16.
The cost for members for lunch is $20 while non-members are welcome at $25 each. Speakers on the Saints, LSU, Tulane and prep football are featured every week. The Quarterback Club selects a prep player of the week from the metro area each week and will announce a prep player of the year at the final meeting on Monday, December 16, sponsored by the R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.

Terrilynn Amos
Boutique owner, 36
/ Why she's interesting / Amos is filling the void in the Gordon Square neighborhood after Danielle DeBoe moved Room Service to Ohio City. Amos opened Turnstyle Boutique in May after calling Lakewood home for seven years. She aims to carry a fresh mix of women's fashions and accessories focusing on lines made in the USA.
/ Trading spaces / Two and a half years ago, Amos started looking for an open space in Gordon Square but didn't find anything that seemed to work. "I looked at a few places. The rent was too high." It wasn't until last year that the pieces finally fell into place. "I've always coveted this spot, so when Danielle moved I knew this would be perfect."
/ What you'll find inside / She rotates in new inventory from trendy tops and dresses to popular G-Star jeans every week with prices ranging from $15 to $65. One of her main goals was to keep prices low. "I always hated going, If I buy these jeans, I am not eating for a week. I want people to be able to afford great clothing."
/ Two trends to try / 1. An empire-waist dress or shirt. "That's the most flattering on any shape." 2. Wearing red. "Especially here in Ohio during winter, to add a little color will brighten people's days."
/ Fashion risk-taker / Amos says she will try any trend at least once. The craziest one she's tried? "Big shoulder pads, like the ones you see Rihanna wear. My closet isn't filled with them by any means, but I've definitely got some looks with that."
/ Her go-to outfit / A sheath dress. "When all else fails, go with a sheath dress. You can add a blazer for a professional setting, but when you go out at night you can take off the blazer and add a fun necklace."
/ Style icon / Sienna Miller. "She is fearless with fashion. I love the way she dresses. She carries it off so well."
/ What else Gordon Square needs / A shoe store. "I ask customers what they would like to see here. We would like it to be where you can park and you can go buy shoes, you can go get your hair done, you can buy something for your home and you can buy something to wear."

Call for applicants: Markham Vineyards' 3rd Annual Mark of Distinction program
Markham Vineyards, the Napa Valley winery distributed by Terlato Wines, recently announced its call for applications for the 3rd Annual Mark of Distinction program.
As we noted last year, the Mark of Distinction program, which started in 2008, rewards two winners with $25,000 grants each to help them "make a lasting change in their communities."
Nominations can be made online any time prior to July 19th–you'll just need to write-up a quick (no more than 300 word) proposal and a 'brief' budget detailing how you'll use the $25K.
On August 10th ten finalists will be chosen and featured on the website, at which time the public will be able to vote for their two favorite projects.
Last year's recipients were Long Island Sled Hockey from Lynbrook, NY and The Paul Ruby Foundation in Geneva, IL.

Dyck paths count paths from $(0,0)$ to $(n,n)$ in steps going east $(1,0)$ or north $(0,1)$ and that remain below the diagonal.
How many of these pass through a given point $(x,y)$ with $x \leq y$?
Dyck paths count paths from $(0,0)$ to $(n,n)$ in steps going east $(1,0)$ or north $(0,1)$ and that remain below the diagonal.
How many of these pass through a given point $(x,y)$ with $x \leq y$?
Just to get an answer on record ...
Let $d_n$ be the number of Dyck paths from the origin to $(n,n)$.
Assuming that the question is worded correctly: As I noted in my comment, if a Dyck path passes through a point $(x,y)$ with $x \le y$, then in fact $x=y$, and the path is the concatenation of a Dyck path from the origin to $(x,x)$ and another from $(x,x)$ to $(n,n)$. (By a Dyck path from $(x,x)$ to $(n,n)$ I mean a path of unit steps east or north that never rises above the diagonal.) There are $d_x$ Dyck paths from the origin to $(x,x)$ and $d_{n-x}$ from $(x,x)$ to $(n,n)$, so $d_xd_{n-x}$ of the $d_n$ Dyck paths from $(0,0)$ to $(n,n)$ go through $(x,x)$.
If you already know that $d_n = \dfrac{1}{n+1}\dbinom{2n}{n} = C_n$, the $n$-th Catalan number, you can immediately conclude that the desired number is $$\frac{1}{(x+1)(n-x+1)}\binom{2x}{x}\binom{2(n-x)}{n-x}.$$
If not, you can at least get a nice recurrence for the $d_n$, though it takes some ingenuity. Let $e_n$ be the number of Dyck paths from $(0,0)$ to $(n,n)$ that hit the diagonal only at those two points. Each of these must start with a move from $(0,0)$ to $(1,0)$ and end with a move from $(n,n-1)$ to $(n,n)$, and between $(1,0)$ and $(n,n-1)$ they must never rise above the line $y=x-1$. A little thought reveals that there are exactly as many of these paths as there are Dyck paths from $(0,0)$ to $(n-1,n-1)$, so $e_n=d_{n-1}$.
Now let $D_n$ be the set of Dyck path from $(0,0)$ to $(n,n)$. For $k=1,2,\dots,n$ let $D_n(k)$ be the set of Dyck paths in $D_n$ whose first intersection with the diagonal after $(0,0)$ is at $(k,k)$; clearly $D_n =$ $\bigcup\limits_{k=1}^nD_n(k)$. There are $e_k$ Dyck paths from $(0,0)$ to $(k,k)$ that don't hit the diagonal between these two points, and there are $d_{n-k}$ from $(k,k)$ to $(n,n)$, so $\vert D_n(k)\vert = e_kd_{n-k} = d_{k-1}d_{n-k}$. It follows that $$d_n = \vert D_n\vert = \sum\limits_{k=1}^n d_{k-1}d_{n-k} = \sum\limits_{k=0}^{n-1} d_kd_{n-1-k}.$$ Replacing $n$ by $n+1$ and noticing that $d_0=1$, we can write this recurrence as $$\begin{align*}d_0 &= 1,\\ d_{n+1} &= \sum\limits_{k=0}^n d_kd_{n-k},\end{align*}$$ which is sometimes taken to be the definition of the Catalan numbers.
If $\bf x \le y$ is supposed to be $\bf x\ge y$, the question is substantially harder. In fact, I've found no way to get a reasonably nice answer that isn't simply a generalization of a standard proof that the number of Dyck paths from the origin to $(n,n)$ is $\dfrac{1}{n+1}\dbinom{2n}{n}$. The reflection argument in this link mentioned by David Speyer is the obvious choice.
It shows that the number of paths from the origin to $(x,y)$ that don't rise above the diagonal is $$\frac{x+1-y}{x+1}\binom{x+y}{x}.$$ Each of these can be combined with any path from $(x,y)$ to $(n,n)$ that doesn't rise above the diagonal, so the next step is to count these paths. Imagine following one of them backwards, from $(n,n)$ to $(x,y)$: you must take $n-y$ steps south and $n-x$ steps west, and you must never have taken more steps west than south (or else you'd cross the diagonal). There are exactly as many ways to do that as there are to start at the origin and take $n-y$ steps east and $n-x$ steps north, making sure never to have taken more steps north than east. But those are just the paths from the origin to $(n-y,n-x)$ that never rise above the diagonal, so there are $$\frac{(n-y+1)-(n-x)}{n-y+1}\binom{(n-y)+(n-x)}{n-y} = \frac{x+1-y}{n+1-y}\binom{2n-x-y}{n-y}$$ of them.
The grand total of paths from the origin through $(x,y)$ to $(n,n)$ that never rise above the diagonal is therefore
$$\begin{align*} &\frac{x+1-y}{x+1}\binom{x+y}{x} \cdot \frac{x+1-y}{n+1-y}\binom{2n-x-y}{n-y} =\\ &\frac{(x+1-y)^2}{(x+1)(n+1-y)} \binom{2n-(x+y)}{n-x} \binom{x+y}{x}. \end{align*}$$
It may be of some small interest to note that the factor $$\dbinom{2n-(x+y)}{n-x} \dbinom{x+y}{x}$$ is the total number of monotone paths from the origin to $(n,n)$ by way of $(x,y)$. Thus, the fractional multiplier can be thought of as the probability that if one of these paths is chosen at random (with uniform distribution), it will not rise above the diagonal.
There are in total ${x+y \choose x}$ paths from $(0,0)$ to $(x,y)$; the proportion of this which stay strictly below the diagonal (except at the start) is $\frac{x-y}{x+y}$ by the Ballot theorem. Similarly there are in total ${2n-x-y \choose n-x}$ paths from $(x,y)$ to $(n,n)$ of which the proportion $\frac{(n-y)-(n-x)}{(n-y)+(n-x)}$ would have stayed strictly below the diagonal (except at the end). So the number of paths from $(0,0)$ to $(n,n)$ via $(x,y)$ which stay strictly below the diagonal is $$\left( \frac{x-y}{x+y} \right) \left(\frac{x-y}{2n-x-y} \right) {x+y \choose x} {2n-x-y \choose n-x}.$$
To translate these into paths below or touching the diagonal, we simply chop off the first horizontal step and last vertical step, so have to replace $x$ by $x+1$ and $n$ by $n+1$, while leaving $y$ alone. So the number of paths becomes
$$\left( \frac{x-y+1}{x+y+1} \right) \left(\frac{x-y+1}{2n-x-y+1} \right) {x+y+1 \choose x+1} {2n-x-y+1 \choose n-x}$$
which looks rather like Brian's answer and is in fact the same.

I got back from Mix last week and what a good time it was! I couldn't see all the talks I wanted but have been watching them over on the Mix site: http://sessions.visitmix.com/
Some of my favorites were:
If you just want a good overview of Silverlight checkout the keynote with ScottGu!
On a side note they had some xbox 360's to play with during the conference and Guitar Hero II, so after trying it out there I came back and picked one up. The cool thing is my wife is enjoying it as well, so that means I get more time on it! :-)

Mike used the Roto Grip Hyper Cell Skid on the telecast. He was able to open up the lane in the first match against Stu Williams, but then tightened up his line against Wes. This ball gave Mike the exact shape on the lane he needed to win his 2nd major championship and first with Storm.
Wes decided to use the ball that helped him get to the #1 seed, the IQ Tour Pearl (Gold Ball). Wes had a great reaction on the lanes, but two bad shots on the left lane cost him the title.
Stuart used a Marvel-S and took a direct approach to the pocket. Stu was able to average 250 for the first two games and then was forced to move in during the match against Mike Fagan which resulted in a close match. Stu would have liked to switch to a Marvel Pearl against Mike, but had a hard time switching balls mid match.

Where to Stay
As the largest city in Texas, Houston contains a number of styles of hotels. Many high-end luxury hotels are located in the Downtown and Uptown areas, as are a number of hotels geared towards business travelers. The Magnolia Hotel is an example and is housed in a remodeled historic landmark. The Crowne Plaza Suites Houston is located close to many of the city's attractions and offers guests a number of perks like a free business center, gym, restaurants and a whirlpool. More family-friendly hotels include the Doubletree and the Omni, both of which offer suites with kitchens and services catering to kids.
Room rates are generally higher during conventions and events like the rodeo.

Need help identifying a kung fu trilogy I watched a few years ago.
The plot is like this: There is a very poor chinese kung fu master working at a coal station. I don't really remeber what happens in the fisrt movie, but in the second movie he gets some kind of apartament in a city and teaches a student how to fight against some gang members. In the third film, an american boxer claims that he is stronger than any chinese master, and launches a challange: anyone who could win him in the ring would win.
Any idea which movie is this?

|Gas Free Seneca plans Watkins Glen rally
Please come to a rally on Monday, March 18th at 5:00 pm in Watkins Glen. We need you, and everyone involved in protecting the region from Gas Industry Infrastructure, to join in.
Here is a summary of recent events surrounding Seneca Lake and why we need to act:
Based on recently released documents detailing strike slip faults and the unsuitability of the salt caverns for storage, Senator Nozzolio, (not a representative of Schuyler County where the facility is to be built, but of Seneca, and Ontario) wrote a letter to DEC Commissioner Martens saying that Seneca Lake is not an appropriate site for this facility.
Seneca County Environmental Affairs Committee then followed suit, announcing a unanimous vote to draft a resolution and write to Martens as well, echoing Nozzolio's sentiments.
In essence, as other counties and representatives speak out, our own representatives and the DEC fail to represent us.
WHY IT IS URGENT: Inergy has purchased the NYSEG gas storage facility next door to the salt plant, is calling it Arlington gas storage, and has just applied to FERC to expand the natural gas storage, asking that it be fast-tracked because it will have virtually "no impact on landowners or the environment and therefore there will be no public opposition" (of course, they are claiming that this is an entirely separate entity from the LPG facility- no segmentation to see here folks, just keep it moving).
FERC tends to rubber stamp these things, and Inergy is trying to sneak this through in preparation for additional expansion- the massive industrialization and gas storage/transport hub that we've been warning about is beginning. New construction equipment is arriving on the site and Inergy is beginning to build; so certain that this will all go through.
The DEC needs to stand up for us, or we will stand up for ourselves.
The theme of the rally will focus on the abundant, sustainable bounty we cherish here in the Finger Lakes. Bring with you an item that you think represents that bounty: a bottle of wine, a brick of locally made cheese, maple syrup, honey, a muffin from a local bed and breakfast, your fishing pole, your swimming goggles, anything from our region that means something to you.
We shall meet on the sidewalk in front of the Watkins Glen Gorge entrance, on Route 14 (Franklin Street) Watkins Glen, NY 14891 at 5:00pm, and walk down the street to the lake. If you can't get there by 5:00, you can catch up with us along the route.

College Hockey:Mercyhurst Sweeps Canisius, 6-2
Punch Imlach Classic Goes Lakers' Way
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Mercyhurst defeated Canisius, 6-2, in the second half of the Punch Imlach College Hockey Showcase at the HSBC Arena in Buffalo on Saturday night. Western Michigan had defeated Niagara, 4-3, in overtime in the first half of the Showcase.
The Lakers (5-1-1, 5-0-1 MAAC) opened the scoring at the 2:31 mark of the first period on the power play with a Jody Robinson goal.
Cansius knotted the game at 1-1 just 23 seconds later when Ice Griff David Deeves scored.
The Ice Griffs then took the lead at the 13:16 mark on a Jason Spence goal.
Mercyhurst opened the floodgates in the second period scoring five times to open up a 6-2 lead.
Louis Goulet scored on the power play at 2:04. That was followed by an Adam Tackaberry goal at 8:54 and a Brad Olsen goal at 13:32. Then Tom McMonagle's goal at the 15:21 mark drove Sean Weaver from the nets.
McMonagle added another goal with 1:17 left in the second period off of Stephan Fabilli.
Canisius will travel to AIC next Friday for a pair and Mercyhurst will not get back into action until it travels to Connecticut on Thanksgiving Eve.

Dear Students, Faculty and Staff:
In March, we commissioned an independent, outside review following public allegations that the University retaliated by bringing an Honor Court charge against a student based on statements made about our response to sexual assault incidents and issues on campus.
We want to share new information with you about the results of this inquiry.
The review — conducted by Barbara Lee, a nationally recognized expert in handling sexual harassment grievances and a human resource management professor at Rutgers University — found no evidence that the University retaliated against the student.
This has been a difficult situation for the students involved, and it has led to me to carefully reexamine two issues: (1) how we can continue to protect our students' right to free speech, and (2) the Honor Code provision dealing with disruptive or intimidating behavior that was the basis of the original charge.
This review brought into sharp focus concerns about this particular Honor Code provision. As a result, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Winston Crisp consulted with campus colleagues, including Richard Myers, the chair of the Committee on Student Conduct and a professor in our School of Law, and Faculty Chair Jan Boxill about this issue. Vice Chancellor Crisp recommended that no student should be charged with violating this section of the Honor Code until the Committee on Student Conduct can adequately evaluate the provision.
I agree with Vice Chancellor Crisp, and this change will take effect immediately. Honor System charges involving this provision of the Honor Code, including the case in question, will be dismissed.
This action is not a challenge to the important role of students in our Honor System, but is intended to protect the free speech rights of our students.
The Honor System is a Carolina tradition that dates back more than 100 years.
We are one of the last universities in the nation with a student-led Honor System, and our students have invested an impressive amount of effort in sustaining this tradition.
This situation has raised important issue that will deserve further discussion. While I will not be here to take part in those discussions, I am confident that all of you will work together to help develop solutions that work for the whole Carolina community.

Petrol price decontrol seen only in vapour outline
Despite the legal removal of government control on the price of petrol since June 2010, state oil marketing companies (OMCs) continue to lose sharply on its retail sale. A hit of about Rs 20 crore (Rs 200 million) daily for the three OMCs, says the finance director of one of these.
In 2010-11, the first year of the ostensible decontrol, the three OMCs (Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum) together lost Rs 2,200 crore (Rs 22 billion) on petrol sale.
In the first six months of 2011-12, they have lost another Rs 2,500 crore (Rs 25 billion). The full year should see a loss of at least Rs 4,500 crore (Rs 45 billion).

Petrol price decontrol seen only in vapour outline
The reason is political. The OMCs are all government-owned and the state's heavy hand is clear in the way any change in pricing is effected. Or, to be more accurately, not effected.
Even parties which are part of the ruling coalition, the Trinamool Congress being one, have not only attacked the government on even the increases allowed, but also threatened to withdraw support.
In January last year, despite a surge in the price of imported crude oil, the OMCs were made to put their price rise plans on hold, due to four states having scheduled Assembly polls later in the year.

Petrol price decontrol seen only in vapour outline
At the start of the current financial year, last April, when the OMCs were losing almost Rs 7 on every litre of petrol they sold, Indian Oil chairman R S Butola said they'd all "consciously" decided not to revise the price to keep "the environment happy" in view of rising inflation.
By May, the loss of retailed petrol had reached Rs 10.50 a litre. Price rises were subsequently allowed, to only partially offset the losses -- they precipitated a storm of political criticism.
This month, price rise plans of OMCs have again been put on hold, with four states going to the polls in due course. The fortnightly review of prices has been skipped twice, although the OMCs current loss on petrol is estimated to have touched as much as Rs 1.50 for each litre sold.

These companies also lose heavily on the three petro products which are regulated -- diesel, kerosene and domestic cooking gas.
However, the losses here are supposed to be compensated in some form, such as a mix of cash reimbursal from the government and discounts on purchase from upstream refiners such as Oil India and Oil and Natural Gas Corporation.
But, any loss on petrol is to be borne squarely by the OMCs.

There are two private retailers, Essar and Reliance, and they're affected as the government companies are selling at a subsidised rate. The private competitors' initial excitement, followed by rapid re-opening of closed outlets and expansion plans, is now quite subdued.
Is petrol decontrol, then, a sham? Experts say it is still better than the earlier situation.
"There is a semblance of decontrol but we are still away from real decontrol, as the government continues to have a say in pricing. But we cannot say that the pre-decontrol era was better. This is a step in the right direction but we should strengthen it," said Deepak Mahurkar, associate director, PricewaterhouseCoopers.

College Hockey:Rally Capped: LSSU Holds Off NMU In 5-2 Win
MARQUETTE, Mich. — After shutting out the Northern Michigan Wildcats on Friday, the Lake Superior State Lakers traveled to Marquette on Saturday entertaining thoughts of a sweep. Indeed, the Wildcats couldn't shut down the potent LSSU offense and the Lakers took home the victory, 5-2.
After establishing a 3-0 lead, the Lakers (10-5-1 overall, 5-4-1 CCHA) found themselves on the wrong side of a momentum swing as two NMU (7-8-2, 4-5-1) goals within seven minutes trimmed the lead to one midway through the final period.
Thirteen seconds later, though, in front of a Northern crowd that was finally coming to life, Laker senior Derek R. Smith took a pass from fellow senior Jeff Rainville and pushed his team to victory with his second goal of the year.
"I felt that was the key to the game," LSSU head coach Jim Roque said. "It is 3-2, it's a game again and they have all the momentum. Those two seniors went out there and made a play and we have got to have that."
The game started slowly enough as both teams battled to get shots on net against physical defenses. Then, at the 13:09 mark, Laker Troy Schwab skated the puck around to goalie Bill Zaniboni's glove side and fired it toward the crease, where it was redirected into the net by Trent Campbell. The goal was Campbell's sixth on the year and gave the Lakers a 1-0 lead that would remain untouched for over a period.
Despite the fact that they outshot the Lakers, 18-5, the second period was one of wasted opportunities for the Wildcats. Early on, LSSU forward Dan Eves was dealt a game misconduct as he checked NMU defenseman Derek May from behind. The major, coupled with a separate spot checking call on Eves, set the Wildcats up for what was to be a seven-minute power-play.
Mike Santorelli missed a wide-open net on freshman netminder Pat Inglis' stick-side and Pat Bateman hit the post before the Wildcats served time for back-to-back penalties. Both calls were for too many men on the ice. Seemingly before it started, the Wildcats' longest power play of the season was over.
"We had a seven-minute power play, then we take some stupid penalties and there goes the power play," Santorelli said. "We need to capitalize on those opportunities and if we can't do that, it will be hard to win."
NMU head coach Walt Kyle noted the fact that his team did not seem well-tuned on Saturday night.
"We had a number of big-time opportunities, but we were not sharp all weekend, we had no puck luck and we missed three or four open nets tonight," he said. "They were literally open nets."
The Lakers, who were outshot 39-21 for the game, entered the third period clinging to a 1-0 lead. They quickly went to work and got on the board again. And then again. Within the first four minutes of the frame, the Lakers had posted a pair of power-play goals and led the scoreless Wildcats by three.
"Our power play has been good in the last few games," Roque said. "But the timing of things is huge and those two power-play goals couldn't have come at a better time."
NMU goals by Darin Olver and Matt Maunu cut the lead to one, but the comeback effort ultimately fell short and the Lakers nabbed an open-net goal to close out the scoring.
After picking up their first victory in Marquette since February of 2004, LSSU will only focus briefly on the sweep over the in-state rival Wildcats.
"Give LSSU a lot of credit," Kyle said. "They worked hard and earned both of the wins that they got this weekend."
The Lakers will face the Ferris State Bulldogs (4-10-1, 2-8-1) on the road next weekend. The Wildcats will, in turn, ready themselves for a visit from the Michigan State Spartans (7-7-1, 5-5-1).

Steve Cochran Movies and Career Information
May 25, 1917
Steve Cochran (May 25, 1917 - June 15, 1965) was an American film, television, and stage actor, the son of a California lumberman. He graduated from the University of Wyoming in 1939.

College Hockey:Kranjc's Third Period Hat Trick Lifts Miami
Finishes Hat Trick Off With 38 Seconds Left For Game-Winner
OXFORD, OH. — Miami University used a record-tying three third period goals from senior Gregor Krajnc Friday night to overcome a sluggish first two periods of action and pick up a 3-2 win over the University of Nebraska-Omaha.
Krajnc broke a 2-2 tie with less just 38 seconds remaining in the contest, scoring the third of his three third- period goals on a breakaway with assists from Matt Medvecz and Bart Stevens. The goal tied a Miami record, shared by four others, for goals in a single period by an individual and gave Miami its first CCHA win of the season.
Miami trailed 1-0 after a sluggish first two periods of play, but Krajnc brought the Red and White back to life with a score in front of the net just 2:37 into the final period. Nick Jardine and Ken Marsch assisted on the game tying goal.
Krajnc struck again less than three minutes later, when he netted a power play goal that was set up by Derek Edwardson and Jason Deskins.
Nebraska Omaha's Daniel Samuelsson evened the score at 7:15 to set up a wild final 12 minutes of action.
Earning the win in goal for Miami was David Burleigh, who stopped 21 Maverick shots enroute to his second consecutive win in net. UNO netminder Rodney McLeod absorbed his first loss of the season in goal, stopping 14-of -17 Miami shots.
For Krajnc, the hat trick, which was Miami's first of the season and the second of his career, gave him a team-high six goals on the season. The late RedHawk barrage also ended a 10-game winless streak in the CCHA and gave Miami it's first three-game winning streak in nearly a year.
Miami, which upped its record to 4-5-2 and 1-3-1 in the CCHA, and Nebraska Omaha, which tumbled to 6-5-0 and 3-4-0 in the CCHA, meet again Saturday night in Goggin Arena.

On September 28, 1565 a colonizing expedition led by Spanish Governor Pedro Menéndez de Avilés arrived off the South Atlantic Coast. He had a contract with the King of Spain, whereby he was to found three colonial towns in La Florida within a one year period. He landed 200 soldiers nearby the next day. On September 7, he landed 300 soldiers plus their wives and children. The next day, he landed 100 more colonists, plus most of the expedition's supplies and munitions. A communal building in the nearby Native village of Seloy was fortified and converted into a casa fuerte or block house. The colonists took over the homes of the Natives.
The Spanish first dispatched a small fleet to the north to determine the location of the French colonists' Fort Caroline. The Spanish approached the fort under the pretense of being friendly, but soon showed their true intent by firing on French ships. The Spanish and French lost contact with each other as a hurricane approached. The Spanish ducked into an estuary as the entire French fleet sailed past them, looking for a fight to settle who could colonize North America.
On September 18, Menéndez launched an overland assault on the fort during a hurricane. By the morning of September 21, Fort Caroline was flying the Spanish flag and most male Protestant colonists had been executed. The entire French fleet, which had chased after the Spanish ships, was wrecked by the hurricane. Over the next few weeks, most of the survivors of the ship wrecks were put to the sword.
All published references, all but one book, plus all online references like Wikipedia, Encyclopedia Britannica and the Catholic Encyclopedia state that the Spanish colony was founded in St. Augustine Bay, FL and Fort Caroline was located "somewhere" on the St. Johns River in present day Jacksonville, FL. The problem is that not one colonial era map or archive from any European country backs up those statements. They were the speculations of two mid-19th century amateur historians.
The first location of St. Augustine was established in September 1565. Fort St. Augustine was definitely relocated to Anastasia Island, FL in March of 1566, while at the same time, most of the colonists were transported to Port Royal Sound, SC to occupy the new capital of Santa Elena. From 1566 to 1576, St. Augustine was essentially a fortified coast guard station, with a garrison of less than 100 men. Due to a Native American uprising, Santa Elena was temporarily abandoned in 1576. The settlement on St. Augustine Bay was then across the harbor to its current location. The first Fort San Marcos was built at that time. It was burned by the English in 1587. Afterward, timbers salvaged from the buildings at Santa Elena were used to re-build St. Augustine, while Santa Elena was permanently abandoned.
Searching for the facts
The journey began in 2007, when a small group of researchers began the attempt to create a more complete understanding of the Native American history of the South Atlantic Coast. By 2011, it was obvious that the French did not build Fort Caroline (1564) in the Jacksonville, Florida area. By early 2012, the location was believed to be somewhere on the south side of the Altamaha River in Georgia. In December of 2013 the ruins of two ancient earthen forts were found on the South Channel of the Altamaha River. In the spring of 2014, researchers stumbled upon an even more amazing fact from Spanish Colonial archives. The first St. Augustine was built near the mouth of the Satilla River in Georgia.
It is one thing to write a journalistic article for general public consumption. Writing a technical report for the scientific community is another matter. A journalistic article should be factual, not opinionated like a blog, but it also should not be cluttered with technical information that makes the text flow roughly.
A technical report, that will turn the history books upside down, must be thoroughly backed up with facts and look at alternative interpretations of those facts. It was in the process of creating a technical report on the search for Fort Caroline that the glaring error on St. Augustine's history appeared. Until the discovery of the earthen forts on the Altamaha River, there were aspects of Fort Caroline's location that are subject to interpretation and debate. Such was not the case with St. Augustine.
Governor Pedro Menéndez de Avilés wrote several reports to the King of Spain, concerning the progress on colonizing La Florida. One did not lie to the King of Spain and expect to keep one's head. Menéndez stated that he first sighted land on August 28, 1565 (Feast Day of St. Augustine) at Latitude: 30°30'00"N. That location is near the southern end of Amelia Island, FL. All references state that Menéndez first saw land at present day St. Augustine, FL. That city's latitude is 29°53'45"N. It is not even close.
Menéndez stated that the latitude of Fort Caroline was at location a little over 31°. The latitude of the South Channel of the Altamaha River (Georgia) at the Interstate 95 bridge is 31°20'09"N. That sounds fairly close. Some of his later letters suggest that the first location of St. Augustine was at about the latitude of 31° on a promontory where rivers from the north and south met. That location matches the confluence of the Satilla and Little Satilla Rivers in Georgia. Earlier letters suggest a more southerly location, but not at St. Augustine, FL.
So where was the first St. Augustine?
Pinpointing the location of the first town of St. Augustine gets into the same gray areas that hampered the search for Fort Caroline. A surviving drawing of the first fort shows it on a curved promontory that protrudes into the bay or sound. A map produced in 1578 by the royal geographer of Spain, Geronimo Chaves, shows a large town name San Mateo on the south side of the St. Marys River, which now divides Florida and Georgia.
Fred C. Cook, a professional archaeologist in Brunswick, GA has found what he thinks are Colonial Spanish artifacts near the banks of the Little St. Marys River. However, he currently believes that this is the location of Fort Caroline and Fort San Mateo. The Little St. Marys River can be as shallow as one foot at that location. No sailboats could have floated there because of the depth of their keels. The location could possibly be that of Mission San Mateo or perhaps the first St. Augustine.
Another potential location for the first St. Augustine is the northern end of Amelia Island, FL where the Spanish built Fort San Carlos and Americans built Fort Clinch. Even though Port Fernandino on Amelia Island is adjacent to the state line, it is the deepest port on Florida's Atlantic Coast. It would have made an excellent location for a colonial town. It does not seem to be located at the confluence of two rivers flowing from the north and south, but perhaps could be interpreted as such.
The Native village of Seloy is mentioned briefly in one letter by Menéndez, but never is shown on a Spanish map. All French, English and Dutch maps locate Seloy on the north side of the Satilla River in Georgia. Nevertheless, all references, plus history and archaeology books published by Florida universities place Seloy somewhere near St. Augustine.
In 1773, botanist William Bartram visited the ruins of a large Indian town in the vicinity where European maps show Seloy to have been. Through the years, amateur collectors have found numerous European artifacts in the soil at that location. Several other large Native American town sites are known along the Satilla River.
A promontory at the confluence of the Satilla and Little Satilla Rivers matches closet the physical descriptions of the first St. Augustine by Menéndez. To the east is one of the deepest harbors on the Atlantic Coast of North America, St. Andrews Soun. One of the first Spanish missions on the South Atlantic Coast, San Pedro, was founded in the vicinity of this promontory. The location is 22 miles south, "as a crow flies," from the probable site of Fort Caroline on the Altamaha River. That is just about right for the two days that the Spanish army took to reach Fort Caroline.
There is also physical evidence. On the satellite image of St. Andrews Sound, a triangular moat and a trapezoidal earthwork can be clearly seen. Are they the ruins of Spanish colonial forts? The answer is "Maybe, yes and maybe, no." They could date from the British colonial era, the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Antebellum Period or the American Civil War. There were numerous military actions on the coast of Georgia during the American Revolution and the War of 1812. These earthworks could not even be fortifications, but merely something connected with agriculture. However, while triangular forts were common during the Early Colonial Period, they are not typical of later eras.
To get beyond the level of archival research and speculation, on-site archaeological work will be required on Amelia Island, the shores of the Little St. Marys River, the shores of the Satilla River and the South Channel of the Altamaha River. The full story of North America's heritage has yet to be told.

Lady Gaga suffered from depression last year and is no longer battling an eating disorder.
"I became very depressed at the end of 2013," Gaga told Harper's Bazaar. "I was exhausted fighting people off. I was angry, cynical, and had this deep sadness, like an anchor dragging everywhere I go."
The pop icon said she overcame her depression after having a series of heartfelt talks with her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, and by improving her health. "I am better with food," said Gaga. "I don't have an eating disorder anymore."
Gaga said the root of her depression last year was the constant presence of greedy hangers-on, who tried to exploit her fame and fortune. She said learning to develop a thicker skin and becoming more protective of herself has enabled her to relax.
"I'm better at not letting people take advantage of me," she said. "I realized that it's my own fault that people take advantage. I should be around people who cherish my talents, my health, my time. I'm not a pawn for anyone's future business. I'm an artist. I deserve better than to be loyal to people who only believe in me because I make money."
Lady Gaga said her depression drained her energy and wore her down emotionally. "I didn't feel like standing up for myself one more time to one more person who lied to me," she said. "But January 1, I woke up, started crying again, and I looked in the mirror and said, 'I know you don't want to fight. I know it hurts, but you won't survive this depression.' I really felt like I was dying—my light completely out."
The Fame Monster songstress said focusing on her love for music and her fans finally helped her overcome her sadness and apathy.
"You have [fight] to for your music," she said. "You have to for your fans and your family. Depression doesn't take away your talents. It just makes them harder to find. But I always find it."
In 2012, Lady Gaga revealed she had suffered from anorexia and bulimia for over a decade. The 5-foot-1 Gaga, who diets and works out obsessively to stay rock-star skinny, said she finally learned to embrace her body, no matter what her weight or size, and encouraged her fans to do the same.
