LPH: It's been very busy. The time between when the announcement was made and our trip to Stockholm (in December) was especially busy: lots of travel, lots of acknowledgment. All the Nobel laureates were invited to Washington, D.C., for a reception at the Swedish embassy, where I had a short meeting with President Obama. He's almost my neighbor. His house in Chicago is about eight blocks from where we live. One of the most wonderful things for me was when a group of Ph.D students I've advised over the years, probably 68 of them, put together a conference in my honor just a few days before my wife and I and our son went to Stockholm. That was very special. I think they might have been happier about all this than I was.
DN: What was the ceremony like in Sweden?
LPH: In Stockholm you're treated like a celebrity. You're there for a week, you have your own escort (and) your own private chauffeur. I wasn't even allowed to open the car door. But we had some bad luck there. Two hours after I gave my talk I got sick. They assigned a Nobel doctor who attended to me and I got through the week but that slowed us up a little bit. When I got back to Chicago I was diagnosed with viral pneumonia. I was very, very sick most of December. Our plans of having a nice ski break over Christmas got upended. One person described it to me as the yin and yang: win a Nobel prize, get viral pneumonia. It's the sickest I've been in my whole life, but I'm feeling better now.
DN: Does the celebrity status extend to being recognized on the street?
LPH: I don't know about that, but I've been congratulated more than once on winning the Nobel Peace Prize, and I was congratulated once for winning the Pulitzer Prize.
DN: If your father were alive, how do you see him reacting to your win?
LPH: Pleased, obviously, and I'd have to add he'd be particularly pleased to see a graduate of Utah State University excel academically. He spent a big chunk of his career there and was completely committed to the university.
DN: Was your mother able to attend the ceremony in Stockholm?
LPH: No. She wasn't able to travel that far, but my mother's neighbors (in St. George) were able to project the television broadcast live and so she saw it as it happened. One of the St. George newspapers interviewed my mom. One of the questions they asked was whether she was proud of me. She said, "I'm proud of all three of my sons." Then they asked if this would change our relationship. She said, "No. I'm still his mother, he's still my son." I thought it was beautiful. She's very proud of her entire family. Just a wonderful person. That really captures my mom.
DN: You've been very open in interviews about not being a stellar student at Logan High School. What do you remember about those years?
LPH: I'm what some people would call a faculty brat. I'm the son of an academic. My father was at various universities and then he became provost at Utah State when I was 16. It was culture shock for me. My two years (at Logan High) were a bit rocky, my grades were erratic, I brought home a report from one class with double check marks, "Does not respect authority." I wasn't a particularly happy student. My parents were incredibly patient with me. It's important to allow for late-bloomers, and I think of myself as a late-bloomer.
DN: What changed when you got to Utah State?
LPH: Utah State admits a lot of people, but it allows you to pursue whatever you desire. You could be a lazy student at Utah State and not accomplish much or you could also find that education is special and there's an opportunity there. It had a big influence on me. You don't have to be this incredibly motivated high school student and get to a private school to succeed. The public school system has the ability to accomplish special things.

Passover, already? Oh my...
I am going to actually get out of cooking this year and attend seders prepared by friends and great organizations. I love the cooking, but always appreciate a break.
Two seders of note, which I will be in attendance. If you will be in the NYC area, they just may interest you as well:
The Kinky Jews Second Annual Kinky Seder
A Seder like you've never experienced before. While maintaining key elements of tradition, celebrate Passover with Kinky Jews, as we have a humor and hedonism infused chocolate themed Seder with four cups of chocolate milk, chocolate covered matzah, Hillel S'mores, and more. Have a wild time with the search for chametz kit (candle, feather and wooden spoon), Passover erotica, maggid show and tell, re-enactments slavery and redemption, floggings a-plenty, new friends and fun! Play space is available for use after the afikomen is found. www.kinkyjews.com
The Red Tent Women's Project Interfaith Seder
Join us for our second annual Interfaith Women's Passover Seder! It's potluck, so bring something yummy with you! For more information, contact: www.redtentwomensproject.org
Check out their sites and if you do go to either one of the events, please come up and say hi! Nothing like coming creating community to eat, drink, and be merry!

I wanted to get a formula for this problem, and also to know what "area" of math the problem would fall into. This is an abstraction of a system used within a game.
Suppose an item has four cost attributed to it, say the cost of its four materials A B C and D Item X cost: 10 A, 10 B, 20 C and 5D
You have different amount of materials A, B, C, and D in storage. You also have an exchange rate. Your exchange rate tell you how much of any material is needed to make another material. The fixed exchange rate is 2:1. This means you can convert 2 of one material into 1 of another material.
In storage I have 20,000 of material A, 30,000 of material B, 48,000 of material C and 50,000 of material D. I want to know two things:
I. How to make the MAXIMUM number of Item X's that I can, by utilizing the conversion process to change excess of one material into another. What's the formula? The answer for the MAX is of secondary importance.
II. How to bring all my material amount to equilibrium utilizing the conversion process. i.e. making A = B = C = D by converting higher amount materials into lower amounts until they are all the same. What's the formula? The answer of their balance point is of secondary importance.
For some reason this reminds me of "moments" and finding the center of polygon regions in the plane. In any case, I'd love to know the answer to my questions above, and what type of math this categorizes as. Thank you!

How Does It Work?
Aromatherapy is a therapeutic natural practice that can be used to promote health, beauty and a sense of well being. It involves using pure Essential Oils by a variety of methods, including inhalation, bathing and massage.
When you use essential oils in the bath or massage, the healing properties absorb right through the skin.
As you inhale an aroma, odor molecules enter your nostrils and drift up toward your olfactory receptors. Once the receptors identify an odor, nerve cells relay this information directly to the limbic system. The olfactory nerve cells are the only sensory pathways that open directly into the brain.
The limbic system is a group of deep brain structures that are involved in the sense of smell. Here odors can trigger memories and influence emotions and behavior. The brain registers aroma twice as fast as it does pain. This is why the inhalation of aromas can so powerfully transform the emotions. The limbic system works with the nervous system, respiratory, circulatory and immune systems of our bodies.
When you inhale essential oils, they enter into your respiratory system as well as your brain. In your lungs, molecules of essential oils attach themselves to oxygen molecules and are carried into your blood stream and circulated to every cell in your body. Within the cells, essential oils can activate the body's ability to heal itself and improve health.
International scientific research suggests that aromatherapy can increase productivity levels, information retention and relaxation.
Implementing aromatherapy into your life is easy and feels so good. It not only strengthens your connection with Mother Nature, it helps you to take the time to relax and enjoy life.
How Essential Oils Interact With The Body
In Aromatherapy, essential oils have four modes of action in interacting with the human body.
Pharmacological: is the effects of chemical changes which take place when an essential oil enters the bloodstream and reacts with hormones, enzymes, etc.;
Physiological : is the way an essential oil affects the systems of the body, whether they are sedated or stimulated, etc.;
Psychological: is the individual response to the inhaled aroma of an essential oil.
Holistic: is the human body's total response to an essential oil, including but not limited to, the responses listed above.
Aromatherapy and essential oils have been around for thousands of years. And now scientific research has proven that these wonderful smelling substances are complex and powerful with remarkable medicinal properties.
Four Methods of Aromatherapy
It's been said that drinking tea is soothing to the soul. All tea is beneficial to the body whether it is herbal, black or green. Tea contains trace minerals and nutrients that are beneficial to the different systems of the body. Green, oolong and black tea provide fluoride and contain polyphenols. Research indicates tea may actually help prevent different types of cancer including breast, colon, lung and skin cancer. Herbal tea varies quite a lot. Some aid the digestive system, some calm the nervous system, while others help ease depression and even breathing difficulties.
Directions for making tea: Bring water to a full rolling boil before pouring over tea. Let tea steep for 5-10 minutes, depending on the strength you desire.
Remember, never boil herbs because they lose much of their valuable healing qualities.
Bathing with herbs is like slipping into a hot cup of tea. Instead of drinking the tea, your body absorbs the healing qualities directly through the skin. A bath should last about 20 minutes to allow for total saturation of the skin. A nice thing about herbs in the bath is that you also inhale the steam and the healing properties go directly into your lungs.
Choose herbs that stimulate a sluggish body, like mints or rosemary. These herbs also help cool you down on a hot summer day. Or choose herbs like chamomile or hops to help you wind down after a busy day. If your muscles are tired and aching, add rosemary or mugwort to your herbal bath. Mugwort is a great herb to use if you meditate or just like to soul search in the tub.
Directions for bathing with herbs: Use a muslin bag or a 3 inch mesh bath ball to hold the herbs. Fill with 1/4 cup or more of dried herbs. Hang under your faucet to allow the hot water to flow through the herbs. When the bath is drawn, place bag or ball in the water to steep.
For a stronger effect, make an infusion by steeping 1/4 cup herbs for 15 to 20 minutes in a quart of water that has just been boiled. Then pour infusion into the bath water.
Either way, this is a splendid way to use herbs and receive their healing benefits.
Inhalation is hard for some to understand as a way of healing. When you study how the systems of the body work in detail, it is easy to see exactly how this form of natural healing works. The nose is not a subject most have studied and it's not the most popular of our senses. The sense of smell is mostly subtle. Unless an odor is offensive or overpowering, you usually don't give it a second thought. When you take the time to experience your sense of smell, you start to find out how fun and exciting this sense can be. You smell things from long ago and you begin to look forward to all the unexpected memories those scents bring.
There are many ways to inhale herbs. Simmering pots are very popular. Have you ever thought to put your orange peel in a simmering pot? With recycling being more and more important, it is nice to find natural ways to use things more than once. Cinnamon, cloves, allspice and ginger are wonderful additions to orange peels in your simmering pot. Or throw some herbs in a saucepan of water and simmer on the stove (or wood stove). This is a great way to infuse your surroundings with the aromatic herbs of whatever season it happens to be.
A lot of herbs and essential oils have anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. Using essential oils in a spritzer is a terrific way to kill airborne bacteria, freshen the air and lift your spirits. Studies show it even increases your alertness and productivity.
Diffusers have become very popular and for good reasons. The diffusers allow the molecules to be released into the atmosphere where they are inhaled and disperse throughout the body.
Massage has been one of the most popular and accepted forms of herbal healing for a long time. It is an easy, pleasant way to receive the healing benefits of essential oils. However, essential oils are very concentrated and should always be diluted with a Carrier Oil such as almond, sunflower, even olive oil will do. Each oil has unique qualities of its own. When you add a few drops of a particular essential oil or a blend of oils, you can provide relief and healing for a variety of ailments from eczema, cuts and wounds to arthritis, depression and insomnia.
As you begin to use each one of these methods, you will see how easy it is to implement aromatherapy into your life. You will also notice random moments of joy throughout your daily life as you become more and more aware of the scents in your environment and the pleasure they can bring.

Kelly, 46, has become the school's first football coach in the program's 115 seasons to post 14 wins in his first 17 games at the Ducks' helm. He also became the first coach in Pacific-10 Conference history to win an out-right conference title in his first season as head coach, guiding Oregon to its first Rose Bowl Game appearance in 15 years.
The total value of the six-year agreement is $20.5 million.
The first year of his new pact will guarantee the Manchester, N.H., native a minimum of $2.4 million in addition to the customary incentives tied to conference and national championship finishes, national rankings and his teams' academic success. Following the 2011 campaign, his incentives would gradually diminish while a greater share of his annual compensation would be guaranteed. In his final two years of the contract, his only remaining on-the-field incentives would be tied to an appearance in the BCS national championship game and winning 12 or more regular season games. His remaining incentives would be contingent upon his teams reaching academic benchmarks.
His new agreement, which went into effect June 15, 2010 and officially runs through June 14, 2016, was finalized by all parties today, culminating discussions that were initiated last spring.
All money used to compensate Kelly, as well as all of the university's coaches and staff, comes from athletics department funds and not from university general funds or state taxpayer dollars.
Provisions of the new package calls for the 21-year coaching veteran to receive a one-year rollover extension for winning a minimum of 12 games or participating in the BCS Championship Game in either the 2010 or 2011 seasons. For each year after that, the rollover would go into effect for posting 11 or more wins, including a bowl victory, or winning a BCS bowl game among his 10 or more victories.
Upon being named Oregon's 30th head football coach in school history on March 13, 2009, he agreed to a five-year contract. After claiming Pacific-10 Conference Coach-of-the-Year honors following last year's 10-3 season, his final compensation in his first year as head coach reached $1.8 million.
Included in his previous contract was a clause that allowed Kelly the option of walking away from Oregon without penalty, renegotiate a new agreement or increase his base salary to $2.3 million should he guide the Ducks to a minimum of 19 wins over the course of any two consecutive seasons. Through one-quarter of his second season, Kelly already has accumulated an Oregon head coaching ledger of 14-3.
"The success of a football program at any university is a crucial component to the financial security of any col-legiate athletics department at the Division I level, specifically those who are financially self-supporting," Oregon Athletics Director Rob Mullens said. "Chip Kelly's track record in a short amount of time speaks volumes for his character, integrity and ability to lead this program to a new set of standards. It became clear before my arrival at Oregon that retaining him to head the university's football program was a priority. This is an investment in the future success of Oregon athletics and an investment in retaining one of the brightest college coaches in the country."
The contract also calls for a substantial buyout on Kelly's part should he leave the university to secure any other coaching position. He would be required to reimburse the university $4 million should he decide to vacate his Oregon head coaching position following the first year of the agreement, with that buyout gradually reduced by $250,000 each subsequent year until remaining at $2 million following the sixth season or longer of the deal.
Since joining the Ducks as their offensive coordinator in 2007 following eight seasons as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at the University of New Hampshire, last year's national coach-of-year honoree has masterminded an offense that has accounted for 50 points or more 13 times in less than four seasons. In 2009, Oregon finished sixth in the country in rushing offense (231.7 avg.), eighth in scoring offense (36.1 avg.) and 25th nationally in pass efficiency defense.
Oregon won the 2009 conference title by two games, marking the first time any Pac-10 team owned a two-game advantage in the final standings in 18 years.
Oregon also completed last year ranked 11th in the country and is currently fourth nationally in both the Asso-ciated Press and USA Today coaches polls.

At first glance, it may appear that independent RPG "Millennium" is geared towards the hardcore RPG fan. With an epic story and a slew of cool characters, it sounds like every other RPG you've ever played, right?
That's not what Indy Aldorlea, creator of the series, told Examiner in an exclusive interview on Thursday. Penned with the thought to attract more than RPG-fiends, Aldorlea said "Millennium," which is currently attempting to get green-lighted by Steam, is a game that everyone can enjoy.
"I wanted to write a tale with a universal message, the importance of not losing hope even when everything is against you," Aldorlea told Examiner Thursday. "Marine, the heroine in the Millennium series, is poor, alone at first, and too fragile to do much on her own. But she has the virtues of courage, persistence, an incredible sense of hope and dedication, and little by little she is able to gather dedicated followers around her and fulfill her destiny.
"Unlike most RPG, Millennium is not about saving the world from an overpowered enemy, it's about finding a way for all people to live together in peace and harmony.

MEDINA TWP. — The Ohio Highway Patrol needs help to stop drunken drivers.
That's why the patrol is holding Medina County's first "Community Shield" citizen's police class Dec. 15.
"A lot of times, we depend on the public for finding drunk drivers or other criminal indicators," Lt. Bill Haymaker, commander of the patrol's Medina post, said.
The patrol will take 15 people for the class, which is free and designed to give police "extra sets of eyes and ears" through citizens, Haymaker said.
Instructors will explain the importance of contacting police when suspicious activity arises. To back up their claims, the instructors will give specific examples of how citizens helped saved lives or put "bad guys" behind bars, Haymaker said.
"If citizens realize that their call could save a life, we've succeeded," he said.
The class is designed to improve communication between people and law enforcement officers, not to encourage them to act on their own.
Aside from identifying drunken drivers, the class also will focus on concerns about homeland security, human trafficking and drug crimes.
The class will be 3 to 4 p.m. Dec. 15 in the community room of the patrol's Medina post, 3149 Frantz Road. To register, call Haymaker at (330) 725-4921.
Haymaker said the patrol plans to hold more classes if reception to the program is good.
Haymaker said citizens don't have to attend the class to alert police about suspected criminal activity: They can call #677 to place a tip.
Contact reporter Nick Glunt at (330) 721-4048 or email@example.com.

Last weekend (Nov. 8-9), two accidents occurred on State Route 904. One of those was a head-on collision with multiple injuries. Accidents on SR 904 are not isolated occurrences. The last fatal crash on 904 was only three months ago; more than 65 accidents have occurred since 2009.
SR 904 from Four Lakes to Cheney is the main route to Eastern Washington University and the Cheney School District, with 17,000 to 19,000 vehicles per day forced into a two-lane, no-passing highway. Clearly, this is a highway with an antiquated, unsafe design.

Film Review: Taking Chance
More Sundance reviews
PARK CITY -- Unless they have lost a family member in combat, few Americans probably realize the U.S. military provides a uniformed escort to bring home the remains of all battlefield casualties. "Taking Chance" follows one officer who brings a young Marine killed in Iraq back to his family and burial ground in Wyoming.
Director Ross Katz, who co-wrote the script with Lt. Col. Michael R. Strobl, USMC (Ret.), the man whose journey the film chronicles, hopes that the accumulation of details from this sad passage will demonstrate how Americans, both in and out of the service, react with respect and honor toward the nation's fallen.
While not without moments of powerful emotions, a movie so lacking in dramatic conflict and missing its central figure must rely entirely on the audience itself to supply heart-felt reactions to the rituals and symbols in this movement from battlefield to final resting place.
The film, a dramatic competition entry in Sundance, airs on HBO Feb. 21.
As Strobl, Kevin Bacon scarcely changes expressions throughout the 82-minute film. He volunteers for the duty to escort the remains of 19-year-old Lance Corporal Chance Phelps for reasons that aren't clear until near the end. The request is certainly highly unusual since he is a high-ranking officer.
The iced body is shipped from Germany to the States, where it is washed and prepped while the marine's effects are cleared of any blood or dirt. The body is then lowered into a casket with its own bar code.
Lt. Col. Strobl collects the remains at a Delaware mortuary and by vehicles and airplanes spends two days crossing the country. Each time the casket comes off a plane, a "slow salute" greets the fallen hero.
Strobl's brief encounters with a driver, pilot, passengers, a reservations clerk, flight attendant and others display an array of reactions to Strobl's heavy burden. The long drive from the airport to Chance's home becomes an impromptu motorcade with other vehicles on the highway. The marine's homecoming gives the officer insight into what kind of man Chance was and how he nobly died.
When Strobl notices that Chance's family has requested donations to provide flak jackets for soldiers in Iraq, the thought occurs that if our government spent as much time and money on such jackets as it does on returning remains to loved ones, perhaps not so many journeys would be necessary.
But this is not a political movie. It focuses as rigidly as a slow salute on the rituals that honor the military dead. It should be reported that this visibly moved an audience at Sundance.

Hey kids, it's time for another installment from our go to gal for photography, Meggan Haller of Keyhole Photo! Meggan and her husband Jeff provide documentary-style photography to a variety of industries and are rad people to boot. Want more? Check out their blog, look (updated every day, woot!).
I'm a photographer. So for me, there's nothing more satisfying than seeing a great photograph displayed well.
Unfortunately, not all frames make the cut. So, I've reached deep into the wilderness of Northern British Columbia, Canada (not to mention the wilderness of Etsy) to bring you handmade barnwood picture frames that do make the cut.
These are made from aged barn-wood lovingly collected by Rick and Heidi, the log home-dwelling husband and wife team that carefully builds and sands each frame to bring out its unique rustic charm. And as Rick and Heidi say, no two are alike -- which also happens to hold true for really great photography. Match made in heaven? I think so.

Community Interfaith Dialogues
The Community Interfaith Coordination Office (CIC) facilitates and supports community interfaith dialogues. Community dialogues are organized within communities by its residents, local faith communities and community based organizations to foster interactive multicultural and interfaith dialogue for better understanding within communities. Dialogues include community wide gatherings of 80 to 100 people and small dialogue circles of 16 to 20 people. Other initiatives include multicultural and interfaith community service projects, picnics and book clubs.
What is Dialogue?
Dialogue is an open, respectful exchange of ideas and opinions that allow a group of people to explore differences, find commonalities, and think together.
What is the Purpose of Dialogue?
To provide persons of different cultural, ethnic, and faith groups with an opportunity to share and interact in a safe, facilitated setting as a way to promote deeper conversations and understanding; and to help create resilience within the community to more effectively deal with any future emergencies.
How Did CIC Dialogues Start?
Community dialogues were initiated in 2003 by residents in the greater McLean and Annandale communities. Dialogues were prompted by the growth of a post 9/11 environment reflecting signs of fear, distrust and anger. The Department of Systems Management for Human Services (now the Department of Neighborhood and Community Services) Community Interfaith Coordination Office and its McLean Community Connections and Interfaith Communities for Dialogue Partners received the 2004 National Association of Counties Achievement Award for facilitating the growth and sustainability of dialogues within Fairfax County.
At this time, two community dialogue groups are supported:
Interfaith Communities for Dialogue (ICD)
The Interfaith Communities for Dialogue (ICD) is composed of faith communities in the Annandale, Fairfax, and Falls Church area. The group meets monthly. Dialogues are planned for each fall and spring. Dialogue topics focus on community understanding of Fairfax County's diverse religions. The group supports six annual small group gatherings, an annual picnic, service project, and book club.

McLean Community Connections
McLean Community Connections is composed of faith
communities, faith based organizations and community residents
representing the diverse faith and cultures within the greater McLean
community. The group meets monthly.

Hello, amazingly perfect flower girl dress! The tutu on this Tutu Du Monde Petal Tutu Aubergine ($159) is, of course, super girly, but the classy shades of purple on this make it much more grown up. We think it says, "I'm seven," rather than saying "I'm four and three quarters."
i want it in my size! :)

At any given time throughout the year, this Internet Deals reporter on Examiner can search the hot URLs via Alexa.com's "What's Hot" list and discover that whatever website is streaming a live and popular game like a soccer match, cricket tournament, NBA game or NFL battle is usually the one winning plenty of viewers for that sports season.
Such is the deal for a website like Choose.tv, whereby users can watch a variety of television stations from all over the world, from fashion to documentary channels and more. Just a portion of the channels included for your viewing pleasure include those from Albania, the United States of America, Korea, Thailand, Hungary, France the Ukraine and others.
Choose.tv is part of the new breed of online entities that realize people are no longer tied to a DVR and cable box when it comes to deciding what they'd like to view online and when. It's funny how years ago, in the 1970s, nearly everyone in America stopped what they were doing in order to watch the highly-viewed miniseries called Roots, making sure they were home in time to gather around the TV – because devices like VCRs and DVRs weren't around yet or popular enough for consumer use.
When DVRs did burst on the scene, it became a common enterprise to simply set up our favorite shows to record and watch them on our time schedule. Beyond that development, the public pressed cable TV and satellite stations even more by expressing the desire to watch certain shows on the go. That's why sites like Hulu and companies like Netflix began to thrive as they kept pace with the TV-fiends' desires to view programs on a mobile basis – and firms like DirecTV were forced to come out with their "on demand" TV and movie options, letting customers use their GenieGo DVRs to view shows from mobile devices.
The only issue some buyers had with such convenient options were the price tags that came along with the convenience – and that's why sites like Choose.tv began to pop on the scene, and in some cases, thrive, due to the alternate inexpensive option they provide viewers who don't want to pay hefty cable and satellite TV bills.
While Choose.tv is currently available for desktop PCs only as of this writing, the company is working on a mobile app to be released in the future. Keep your eye on sites like these that represent the coming age of what consumers want to see when it comes to watching their favorite TV shows and channels. They want cheap or inexpensive options that they can watch on their own timetable, and a plethora of options, including the ability to view live and streaming channels from all over the world.
Boy, looking back at how TV viewing has changed over the decades since Roots was released, I can honestly say we have come a long way from being beholden to three main TV channels that told us what we had to watch and when.

Help Preserve Election Integrity: Oppose National Popular Vote in California
There's a new wrinkle in the old game of manipulating the outcome of elections: A single organization is behind a massive, well-orchestrated lobbying effort in virtually every state to restructure presidential election procedures. The wealthy California-based National Popular Vote (NPV) group is bent on reforming the way…

Thanks to Broadway in Detroit, Irish dancing will be back Motown before we have time to sweep up the green confetti. "Heartbeat of Home" rolls into town right after St. Patrick's Day – a perfect conclusion to our Irish-themed celebrations. In case you haven't heard, this is the new show by the "Riverdance" troupe, and it promises to be just as much if not more popular.
Jason O'Neill is the Featured Irish Dancer performing in "Heartbeat of Home," and he graciously offered to answer some of our questions about this new production. A native of Belfast, Jason, under the tuition of the Armstrong School, won major solo championships at world-level competitions. Jason has toured internationally as a principal dancer in "Riverdance." He was also part of Prodijig's show "Footstorm," and has danced in front of such notables as Queen Elizabeth II, US First Lady Michelle Obama, and the Princess of Hawaii.
Q) Tell us about your personal journey – how did you wind up in the cast of "Heartbeat of Home"?
Jason O'Neill: I was touring as the principal dancer with "Riverdance" when I got the call to attend a Heartbeat of Home workshop in Dublin. It was a successful and imaginative three week project that paved the way for the full length production. It was a very special time in my career when I got the call a few months later to join as one of the lead dancers.
Q) How does training for traditional Irish dance vary from classical ballet or the Broadway-based, Fosse-type show dancing?
Jason O'Neill: Traditional Irish dance focuses on posture, foot placement, musicality and flexibility in a similar way to other styles. However we keep our arms strictly by our sides, our feet consistently turned out and our legs primarily straight. We also have two unique styles infused in our dance. Light shoe dancing is more balletic focusing on elevation and movement. Hard shoe dancing focuses on rhythm, power and interpretation. Competitive Irish dancing and show dancing differ in ways also. In Heartbeat of Home we use our arms more freely and fuse elements of Flamenco, Afro-Cuban, Tap and Latin in our movement. I feel the show has created a dynamic style for a new generation of dancers.
Q) "Hearbeat of Home" is by the creators of "Riverdance," which has always been very popular in Detroit. How is this new show different and how is it similar?
Jason O'Neill: "Heartbeat of Home" is similar to "Riverdance" because it is also a joyous and immensely energetic production featuring the best of Irish dance. The show is a high octane music and dance extravaganza that pushes the boundaries in the same way "Riverdance" did. Both shows have a deep respect for different cultures and celebrate their similarities. They have something for everyone with an incredible band and pulsing choreography.
"Heartbeat of Home" features the vibrant, dynamic components of traditional Irish, Latin and Afro-Cuban music and dance in a unique way. It also showcases high-definition, cutting edge production technology which adds to the experience of the show. Act one sets off on a dream voyage and Act Two is built around a street party. The show has thrillingly pushed Irish dancing even further befitting of a new generation.
Q) What is it about this production that finds universal appeal – that is, not only to people of Irish heritage, but people in such countries as China, where this show has had great success?
Jason O'Neill: The show transcends one culture or another it speaks to everyone. It is a celebration of diversity and it highlights all of our shared journey through life. It is an expression of home and its heart and soul, something that tangible to all of us. The storytelling is told through the borderless language of dance and music and this expression is universal.
Q) Do you have a favorite moment in the show that Detroit audiences should watch out for?
Jason O'Neill: My favourite scene pays homage to an iconic New York photograph in 1932 depicting the workers 840 feet in the air. The dance takes place on top of the girder and re-imagines the camaraderie among the men. There is a lot of humour and friendship in this scene with some tricky rhythms thrown in for good measure.
Q) Any special message for the many Irish-American citizens of the Detroit area?
Jason O'Neill: We are thrilled to be bringing this production to Detroit. It is a piece of home that you can take away with you and it is a celebration of our diaspora. On a personal level it feels incredible to tour North America and to be back in Detroit with a new production. "Heartbeat of Home" builds on what "Riverdance" has and continues to achieve. It is an exciting new venture for our country.
You can catch Jason O'Neill in "Heartbeat of Home" at Detroit's Fisher Theatre, March 18-23, 2014. But don't wait too long – once everyone gets in touch with their inner Irishman, these tickets are sure to go fast. Tickets are now on sale at all Ticketmaster locations, by phone at 1-800-982-2787, online or at the Fisher Theatre box office.

Series Records
vs. Nebraska
Last Time vs. Texas
Pierson was 9-of-19 from the floor.
Natalie Ritchie added 14 points for Texas Tech, including a critical four-point play when she was fouled on a 3-pointer. The play broke a 44-44 tie with 12:49 to play and Tech steadily pulled away.
Kenya Larkin led Texas with 15 points, 14 in the first half.
Neither team led by more than six points for the first 30 minutes before consecutive baskets by Pierson sparked a 14-7 Tech run that made it 65-54 with 3:29 to play.
Texas outrebounded the Lady Raiders 45-37. Tech made up for the difference with 6-of-11 shooting from 3-point range and allowed Texas just two attempts from beyond the arc.
Tech's defense, which allowed Larkin to finish several first-half fast breaks with pull-up jumpers, held the Longhorns point guard to 0-of-6 shooting in the second half.
Jia Perkins scored 13 points for Tech and Jolee Ayers added 10 on 5-of-5 shooting. Stacy Stephens had 13 points and 11 rebounds for Texas.
Last Time vs. Nebraska
Plenette Pierson scored 16 and Katrisa O'Neal added 10 points for the Lady Raiders, who have won five straight and nine of 10.
The Huskers had 18 turnovers by halftime and tied the season high they set in losses to Creighton and Auburn.
Greichaly Cepero, Margaret Richards and Steph Jones scored nine points each to lead Nebraska. Jones also had nine rebounds, and Cepero finished with eight before fouling out with 6:33 left.
Tech didn't shoot particularly well, going 22-for-64 from the field, but the turnovers were too much for Nebraska to overcome. The Raiders scored 29 points off turnovers.
Tarr made a 3-pointer and Tanisha Ellison hit a pair of jumpers as Tech opened the second half with a 9-2 run to go up 44-26.
Nebraska used an 8-0 run, getting four points from Mitchell, to cut the lead to 56-40, but that was as close as it got.
The Huskers stayed in it early in the first half despite eight turnovers in the first 10 minutes. Nebraska's zone forced Tech to the outside, where the Raiders were just 7-for-20 to start the game.
After Nebraska's Monique Whitfield tied it at 17-all with a jump shot in the lane, the Huskers turned the ball over on eight of their next nine possessions, allowing Tech to go on a 14-0 run.
Pierson had seven points during the run, which started on a three-point play off a missed free throw.
Steph Jones' short jumper with 3:25 left before halftime ended a 5-minute, 39-second scoreless drought for Nebraska.
A Win Wednesday Would...
...give Tech an 8-2 record in the Big 12 Tournament
...give Marsha Sharp her 457th career victory.
Lady Raider Head Coach Marsha Sharp
A 1974 graduate of Wayland Baptist University, Sharp was named the National Coach of the Year in 1993 and 1994. She also reaped SWC Coach of the Year honors seven times, five consecutively.
The Last Time Out
Texas Tech went on a 12-5 run in the opening minutes of the second half, following a 23-4 run in the first half.
But after building a 55-41 lead at 11:43 to play, the Lady Raiders saw their lead begin to dwindle. The Cyclones went on a 17-7 run to get to 62-60 with 3:59 to play before Tech's Candi White hit a 3-pointer to re-establish a five-point cushion, 65-60.
Both teams struggled to score during the remainder of the game as both missed baskets and Iowa State began to foul.
With 33 seconds left, Perkins hit a basket and White went to the free-throw line to secure the win.
Iowa State was led by Lindsay Wilson's 16 points. Angie Welle added 14, Tracy Gahan 11 and Megan Taylor 10.
Plenette Pierson added 15 points and 10 rebounds for Tech, while Katrisa O'Neal scored 11.
At the half, Tech led 39-32 following the Lady Raiders' run.
The Cyclones had jumped out to a 14-9 lead following eight unanswered points in the first few minutes. But Perkins sparked Tech's run with a basket at the 12:03 mark. She scored another basket, a 3-pointer and two free throws during the run. Pierson added another seven points and O'Neal scored five.
When Tech built its lead to 32-21, Welle fought back by hitting a basket from just inside the arc with 4:05 left in the half. It had been almost three minutes since her team had scored. Welle's shot was followed by a successful trip to the free-throw line by Taylor, a 3-pointer and two more Iowa State baskets, which allowed the Cyclones to move within seven at the half.

- abstract
This paper discusses aspects related to the green technology sector in Germany. In a first step institutional reforms enabling diffusion of green technologies are analysed. Cost arguments are also taken into account. In a second step a theoretical model developed by Tanguay et al. (2004) is modified in order to evaluate the efficiency of the institutional setting in a political economy framework. The model is able to show that command and control policies (CCPs) are accompanied by cost-inefficiencies depending on the political weight of the green technology sector. Because actual costs related to the support of green technologies are relatively low, the theoretical predictions of the model are moderated. Nevertheless, as additional money will be transferred to the green technology sector during the next decades, interest groups will gain additional political power and the problem of cost inefficiency can therefore become more relevant. The paper gives important hints whether the CCP system installed in Germany is the right instrument in order to increase the share of energy produced with green technologies from 12.5% (in 2010) up to a level of 30% (in 2020).

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of aging on arterial thrombus formation by comparing 2-year-old with 11-week-old C57Bl6 mice. METHODS AND RESULTS: Aging is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In humans, assessing the direct effects of aging on vascular homeostasis is difficult because it occurs in the presence of other risk factors. Arterial thrombosis is the critical event in cardiovascular diseases; however, it is not known whether aging per se promotes its occurrence. Mice represent an interesting system to address this issue because they age without spontaneously developing other risk factors. Organ chamber experiments confirmed the advanced level of aging of old mice. As previously shown, old mice exhibited endothelial dysfunction; however, arterial thrombosis induced by photochemical injury was unchanged. Arterial tissue factor expression and activity; expressions of tissue factor pathway inhibitor, thrombomodulin, and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1; prothrombin time; partial thromboplastin time; thrombin-antithrombin complex; and platelet activation were comparable in both groups. CONCLUSIONS: Although these results cannot be directly extrapolated to humans, this study contributes novel important information on the direct effect of aging on arterial thrombosis and underscores the importance of controlling modifiable risk factors in aged individuals.

text: Fixing 'invalid magic number' kernel boot problem Sat, Mar 15, 2014 One time after an ordinary Arch Linux pacman -Syu update my system wouldn't boot, spitting following cryptic error message instead: Loading Arch Linux pkg-linux kernel ... error: invalid magic number. Loading Arch Linux pkg-linux kernel initramfs ... unaligned pointer 0x20 Aborted. Press any key to exit. This type of problem can usually be fixed by recreating your kernel and initramfs image. In Arch, you can do it easily by following these steps (adjust your device names accordingly): Boot from live USB mount /dev/sda5 /mnt mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot, if you have boot partition arch-chroot /mnt pacman -Syyu mkinitcpio linux Unmount and reboot It solved problem for me (I'm not sure why it happened though).

Nine-year-old Aaron Ye 5d, has done it again, defending his title as the US Youth Champion in the under 12 age bracket. Ye entered the finals in third place, having lost a game in the qualifiers to his rival Jeremy Chiu 4d, age 9, but went on to win all other matches and secure his spot on the US team at the World Youth Go Championships this summer. The qualifiers were held on Jan. 21 on KGS, with the top four youth moving on to double elimination finals. In addition to Chiu and Ye, Justin Ching 1d and Daniel Liu 3d also made the finals. Ye got even for his loss in the qualifier, by defeating Chiu in the second round, while Ching was knocked out after losing to Liu and Chiu, which made the final matches a showdown between children who all live in the Bay Area. The last rounds were held live, at the BAGPA ratings tourney on Feb. 11. Chiu played Liu first, drawing black and opening with the High Chinese, which led to a strong win, and set the stage for his face off with Ye. With no losses in the finals, Ye was in strong form. He drew black and opened with the Low Chinese. Chiu resisted strongly, but had to resign when Ye gained the advantage in a fight between dueling eyeless dragons. -Paul Barchilon, E-J Youth Editor.

The players are in the 2nd through 5 grades and this is their first year in team play. Sunstone won 6 games in the opening round, Irvington 6 in the second. In a battle with big swings, Holden Anderson was able to hold out over Ellis Zehnder for a 2 1/2 point win. It's not clear which team won the game of tag after the go match.

Mexico Schools Portland
Monday February 6, 2012
Four teams of elementary school kids in Portland OR and Mexico City, competed against each other in a friendly inter-school match on KGS, Jan. 21st. The kids from Mexico attend Pipiolo Art Institute, and are taught by Siddhartha Avila, who is building a vital Mexican Go community around his youth programs. In Portland, Peter Freedman is workingwith kids at the Irvington School Chess and Go Club. Each school fielded two teams of three kids, the youngest player was 6 years old. The Mexican kids have been playing longer, and won an impressive 10 out of 12 games. "The kids on both sides were really, really, excited," reports Freedman. "They chatted nicely with each other as they played: 'How old are you?' 'You won. You are better than me.'…We Skyped at the same time, so the kids could see each other. We made introductions, saw Sid's classroom…it was very, very cool," added Freedman.

Sun Wins U.S. Youth Go Championships
Monday January 30, 2012
Fourteen-year-old Calvin Sun 7d reasserted his position as the strongest youth player in America this past weekend. He entered the double elimination finals for the US Youth Go Championships as one of four finalists, in the Senior Division, but went on to win every game in a dynamic show of force. Andrew Lu 6d was the only player to beat Sun in the qualifiers, also scoring a win against Hugh Zhang 7d, which gave him the top slot as the finals began. Lu started out well, defeating Zhang again in the first round of the finals, while Sun beat Matthew Harwit 4d. Round 2 saw Zhang knocking out Harwit, while Sun got even with Lu for his earlier defeat. Next Lu and Zhang squared off, but Zhang was determined not to lose a third time to Lu, and knocked him out in a strong third round showing. Zhang was now aiming for Sun again, the two boys have been rivals for years, competing in the Redmond Cup and other events since they were both small children. Sun stood his ground yet again though, knocking Zhang out in the exciting final match – and claiming the championship. The games drew over 200 spectators on KGS, and a great deal of enthusiasm from US youngsters who had competed in the qualifiers the week before. Sun will go on to represent the US at the World Youth Go Championships this summer. In the Junior Division, Aaron Ye 4d and Jeremy Chiu 4d faced off against Daniel Liu 3d and Justin Ching 1d. Ching was knocked out, setting the stage for a showdown between Liu, Chiu, and Ye. As all three boys live in the Bay Area, they will compete live at the BAGPA ratings tourney on Feb. 11. -Paul Barchilon, E-J Youth Editor. Photo by Brian Allen: Calvin Sun at the US Go Congress.

'12 Youth Go Camps Unlikely Unless Organizers Step Up
Monday January 9, 2012
As previously reported, the future of American youth go camps is very much in question (U.S. Youth Go Camp Future in Doubt 12/17/2011 EJ). With no volunteers as yet stepping up to organize this year's camps, "It may be time to recognize that the Congress itself has become the go camp, and that the AGA should not guarantee funding for a separate camp anymore," says American Go Association President Allan Abramson. Anyone interested in finding out more about running a camp in 2012 should contact Abramson at firstname.lastname@example.com by January 31.

Korea Holds Its Breath for the Summit
If you want to get something done domestically in Korea over the next few days, forget it.
That seems to be the united message from the nation's usually-fractious politicians, who have agreed to push back debate on domestic issues that might overshadow the G-20 summit until after the meeting ends on Friday.
One major agenda item that is being held until after the summit is parliamentary debate on a change to the current single five-year presidential term, which some feel hands too much power to the president.
Another political hot potato that is going to have to wait is the amendment of a law regarding outdoor demonstrations. The constitutional court ruled in September last year against a law that bans outdoor sit-down protests from sunset till sunrise. Since then, the ruling and opposition parties have been at loggerheads on the issue, and after a brief scuffle in the National Assembly, the two sides agreed to resume talking when the two-day summit is done.
Also on the we'll-get-to-it-later list is the questioning of business heavyweights from companies including Hanwha, a conglomerate, to Shinhan Financial Group, the country's third largest financial holding company, for questioning on slush funds and embezzlement.
The Bank of Korea is doing its bit as well, having agreed to hold off a policy meeting slated for Thursday until next week.
And in the business world, the creditor group of Hyundai Engineering and Construction has pushed back the bidding deadline for the company till next week, in an effort to "show its full support for the successful hosting" of the summit.
So it seems that Korea will get back to domestic issues next week. For now, it's all about the G-20.

NEX-5n - your default 'creative style?'
I picked up the 5n over the weekend and am slowly getting a feel for it. Though until LR supports the RAWs I'll mainly just shoot in JPEG. By the posts here it seems many are shooting in the Vivid mode but I'm curious what people are using as their go to creative style and what levels you're using for contrast, saturation and sharpness.
Also, I haven't had a chance to test out the difference between standard and low high ISO noise reduction. Though since Sony is generally a bit heavy handed in NR I've only been shooting with High ISO NR set to low.

MEMBERS OF the eighth annual Barbecue Cook-off for Life in Ontonagon present $6,390 to Bev Meagher, president of the Ontonagon County Cancer Association. From left are Daryl Birely, OCCA events coordinator Sheila Hoefferle, Meagher, Griff Roehm, Tom Domitrovich, Steve Preiss and Kenny Waldrop.
ONTONAGON - The eighth annual Barbecue Cook-off for Life added more than $6,000 to the Ontonagon County Cancer Association.
On Wednesday, members of the cook-off staff presented a check for $6,390 to OCCA President Bev Meagher.
Cook-off co-chairman Tom Domitrovich noted that the event was a "big success" and brings the total amount raised by the cook-offs to $46,400. He added that it would not be possible without the many generous people and businesses that "dig deep each year and donate to the kick- off to summer event."
Domitrovich said it's a "compliment to have businesses and individuals actually contact us to donate, ask what they can do to help and who to make the check out to."
He noted that the cook-off is a great event and it runs more smoothly each year.
Meagher added that the OCCA was grateful to all the barbecue teams, organizers and those who came and supported the event. She said the county has seen rising numbers of cancer patients and the cook-off funds help to pay the rising bills of cancer patients.

Deceptive business practices!!
I ordered a few items but later decided to return one. Their return policy states they accept returns but take 30 days to process them.
I waited over 45 days and they still did not provide a credit or update. I had to email them multiple times to get a credit.
When you email "Customer Service" you are emailing a bot. They scan your email for keywords and reply with a standard form email. Then you have to email them again if you didn't get your question answered.
I had to go through this process a few times before anyone actually looked into the return that that did not process.
I am quite sure that they would have waited forever to issue a credit to me. They clearly did not keep their promise of processing the return within 30 days.
When I did get a credit, they had deducted charges from the credit with no explanation. I still have no idea why the refund is the amount they sent.
Also, they have now barred me from ever ordering again. I thought they accepted returns?? Apparently that is an unwritten policy that if you ever return anything you are not allowed to buy from them again.
I find this all to be very deceptive practices.
