* * *The Stanford Invitational begins the outdoor season in earnest for Stanford, which will use its full squad for the first time after only selected field event athletes competed in two Northern California outdoor meets.
Fourteen of Stanford's 16 All-Americans will compete, including two-time first-team All-America Brianna Bain in the javelin. Bain, a junior who was No. 5 in the 2013 Track & Field News U.S. rankings, will make her season debut.
Amy Weissenbach, Stanford's other returning first-team outdoor All-American, will run the 1,500 meters rather than her specialty, the 800, and the 4x400 relay. Weissenbach, No. 10 in Track & Field News' U.S. rankings, advanced to the USATF 800 final and set a national freshman record of 2:00.98 last year.
Stanford men's All-Americans competing are Michael Atchoo (5,000), Marco Bertolotti (800, 1,500), Luke Lefebure (1,500), Erik Olson (1,500), Jim Rosa (1,500, 10,000), Joe Rosa (1,500), and Tyler Stutzman (800, 1,500).
Cardinal women's All-Americans competing are Bain, Weissenbach, Aisling Cuffe (1,500), Claudia Saunders (1,500, 4x400), Jessica Tonn (1,500), Alyssa Wisdom (shot put), and Kristyn Williams (400, 4x400).
Cardinal All-America Steven Solomon is running the 400 at the Australian national championships in Melbourne this weekend. Solomon is competing for a spot on his country's Commonwealth Games team.
Home debuts: This meet marks the first home track and field appearance in a Stanford uniform for these freshmen or sophomores: Valarie Allman (women's discus), Kevin Bishop (men's 5,000), Jack Bordoni (men's 10,000), Hannah Brown (women's 800), Scott Buttinger (men's 1,500), Jackie Choucair (women's 1,500), Dylan Duvio (men's pole vault), Emma Fisher (women's 5,000), Vanessa Fraser (women's 5,000), Megan Glasmann (women's javelin), Thomas Graham (men's 10,000), Danielle Katz (women's 1,500, 3,000 steeplechase), Garrett Sweatt (1,500, 10,000), Adam Thorne (1,500, 3,000 steeplechase), and Malika Waschmann (400 hurdles).
Allman has the No. 2 collegiate discus throw in the country and holds the Stanford freshman record with a best of 187-7, from her collegiate debut on March 8 at the Cal Outdoor Opener in Berkeley.
Glasmann already stands No. 4 on Stanford's all-time javelin list after winning the Hornet Invitational in her collegiate debut on March 15, with a toss of 159-10. Only Bain has thrown farther among Stanford freshmen.
Duvio reached 17-5 ¾ during the indoor season and is No. 3 indoors and No. 4 outdoors in Stanford history.
Buttinger represented Canada at the Pan Am Junior Championships in Colombia in August. His 800 best of 1:49.38 is No. 5 on Stanford's indoor list. He was an alternate on Stanford's NCAA indoor champion distance medley relay team.
Buttinger is the only one of Stanford's vaunted men's freshmen distance class competing for Stanford this year. Sean McGorty, Jack Keelan, and Sam Wharton finished 1-2-3 at the U.S. junior cross country championships in February. All are redshirting, but will compete unattached this weekend: McGorty and Keelan in the 1,500 and Wharton in the 5,000.
Top athletes in the field include Kori Carter, who set a collegiate record (53.21) in the women's 400 hurdles at the NCAA Championships last spring as a Stanford junior. Carter, who gave up her senior season to turn pro, makes her 2014 outdoor debut on Friday (2:46 p.m.), running in her specialty. She was ranked No. 7 in the world by Track & Field News in 2013.
Oregon freshman Edward Cheserek, the hottest collegiate distance runner in the nation, is scheduled to run the 10,000 on Friday at 9:36 p.m. Cheserek came from behind to win the NCAA cross country title in muddy conditions in frigid Terre Haute, Ind., last fall, and swept the 3,000 and 5,000 at the recent NCAA Indoor Championships.
Texas A&M brings the full force of its sprints and hurdles brigade. That group includes defending NCAA men's outdoor 110 high hurdles champion Wayne Davis II, who will run his specialty. The prelims are Friday at 12:10 p.m. and the final is Saturday at 4:35 p.m.
Also expected to compete for the Aggies are Deon Lendore, the 2013 NCAA runner-up in the 400. Lendore, a 2012 Olympic bronze medalist in the 4x400 from Trinidad & Tobago, is scheduled to run both the 200 (Saturday, 3:28 p.m.) and 400 (Friday, 4:39 p.m.). Two members of Texas A&M's women's 2013 NCAA champion 4x100 team – Bay Area native Ashton Purvis and NCAA outdoor 200 runner-up Kamaria Brown -- will run as well. Both will run the 100 (final, Friday, 4:54 p.m.).
Other top athletes include Air Force's Zach Perkins, an Alameda native and the 2013 NCAA 1,500 runner-up, who will run that event (Friday, 6:58 p.m.). And Boise State's Emma Bates, the 2013 NCAA cross country runner-up. She will run the 10,000 (Friday, 8:58 p.m.).
The meet also marks the professional debut of Stanford women's 800 record-holder Justine Fedronic, who anchored the Cardinal to second at the recent NCAA Indoor Championships in the distance medley relay. Fedronic will run the invitational 1,500 (Friday, 6:39 p.m.). She recently signed with a French club, EFCVO, and will represent France in international competition.
Maggie Vessey, a native of Soquel and a former World Championships qualifier, will run the 800 (Saturday, 2:34 p.m.). She is coached by former Stanford All-America Greg Brock.
The Stanford Invitational has been held continuously since 1985, but has its roots as far back as 1975 when Stanford first began holding a large late-March meet, with the Stanford Relays.
Coach Brooks Johnson transformed it into the high-profile Martin Luther King Games from 1980-83 at Stanford Stadium. There was no meet in 1984, but it started up the following year and has taken different forms, such as the Stanford Track and Field Festival and the Diet Pepsi Track Challenge. It has been called the Stanford Invitational since 1995.
The meet is in its 39th year, and 30th consecutive. Here is how the Stanford Invitational evolved over the years:
1975-76: Stanford Relays
1977-79: Stanford Invitational Relays
1980-83: Martin Luther King Games
1985-86: Stanford Invitational
1987-90: Holiday Inn/Stanford Track Festival
1991: Diet Pepsi Track Challenge
1992-94: Stanford Track and Field Festival
1995-2014: Stanford Invitational

More nonsense: Hydrogen for an alternate energy source
Since some have complained about my nonsense, I'm going to complain about someone else's nonsense to show that I can and do evaluate the OPPOSITE side of the argument before I make a judgment. So I'm going to attempt to advocate FOR something I don't believe to show just how much my convictions are really 'nonsense.'
Hydrogen fuel cells for automobiles:
This is a potentially everlasting fuel source for automobiles, but it depends upon another energy source to be produced. Nuclear, coal, wind, solar... all could be used for vehicles using hydrogen as a catalyst. Electricity is dependent upon either expensive batteries, or upon a physical connection to a power grid. In addition is that batteries take a long time to charge, but gasoline and liquid hydrogen take only about 5 minutes to replenish.
No emissions other than water vapor:
There are actually emissions that come from this fuel, but they originate from locations other than where the cars operate. A nuclear plant can be built in a public location, but coal could be 1000 miles away and the electricity could be transmitted via power lines. Hydrogen fuel is produced using that electricity and then transported via pipeline to fuel station. Cars powered by gasoline produce emissions on sight where hydrogen's emissions can be placed elsewhere.
Gasoline is only 30% efficient:
Internal combustion engines are only 30% efficient and can't be pushed passed that rating, so even with the loss of energy through hydrolysis, the larger the scale of the power plant, the more efficient it becomes.
Electricity can't be stored on a large scale, so any excess energy produced from the US power grid is wasted. Hydrogen could take the excess energy and be used where that energy would otherwise be wasted. Batteries are expensive for electric cars, but hydrogen is dependent upon the size of the tanks. That is cheaper than with more batteries.
The US has enough coal to last hundreds of years, but most American vehicles can't use anything that doesn't come from petroleum. This would allow for almost any form of energy to be interchangeable to be used for transportation.
So, how many people think this is nonsense?
What alternative do you propose that does not use electricity? Ox carts?
Some of your observations are somewhat off. For one power plants achieve near 90% efficiency of energy production, so shifting the energy usage(and by extension the pollution) there makes far more sense.
Second you have no idea what a hydrogen fuel cell is. You are thinking of a hydrogen POWERED car. Which would burn hydrogen instead of petrochemicals. A hydrogen fuel cell generates electricity from the fuel source.
Reading material
Battery technology is improving. we are able to store more energy in smaller spaces.
So no, I don't see this as nonsense.
That sounds like pure balderdash to the highest degree, perhaps with a hint of nonsense within it.
You clearly have no idea how Hydrogen Fuel Cells work. The electricity is generated from the fuel, not sourced off a battery or a power grid. I actually had difficulty figuring out what you were saying until I read Tommycat's post on that you don't know what you're talking about, and then it all made sense (or rather, lack of it).
edited to add: Interesting thing I heard on one of the "Future is beautiful" type shows was a GM exec saying that it is even possible that, when they get the design down, that you could literally plug your car into you house to power the house. This would cut down on energy drain on the grid which in some areas is already overtaxed(*looks at CA*).
Basically, these are tiles that convert mechanical energy into electricity (30 Watts per tile or something around that, iirc). I saw this snap in the papers that showed a demonstration tile in a public sidewalk over in Japan.
It's a very promising technology, and based on the general idea that human mechanical energy is largely wasted and can instead, be used to power electricity. I also remember seeing on a Discovery show this Spanish or Mexican gym that was entirely powered by the energy exerted by its members during workouts.
We are too depended on petroleum, I can agree with that, but I would hope we have learned from our pass mistakes. As such the only nonsensical thing I see is ruling an alternative fuel out before exploring its true potential.
OK, guys, I know what she's saying.
Hydrogen is extracted from water by running an electrical current through the water, which is known as electrolysis. D-Y is arguing that power plants must produce this electricity, and that these power plants pollute, which is essentially correct, given that a large percentage of them in the US burn fossil fuels like coal, which is not a good thing.
Before things got carried away in the other thread, I was under the impression that I had clarified that the first priority would be to completely switch to non-emissive methods of generating electricity, such as nuclear power plants, to generate all of the electricity necessary to produce the hydrogen, which would make the hydrogen truly emission-free. A secondary priority would be to ensure that these methods use renewable resources (or close to it, as in the case of breeder reactors) and that the net cost of the power generated is so cheap that the efficiency question isn't such a big issue.
One source of energy with the potential to solve this particular problem is tidal power. If constructed with environmental considerations in mind, tidal hydroelectric power plants have the potential to generate vast amounts of cheap (once the construction costs are recovered), emission-free power while making a minimal impact on the environment.
As for tidal power it suffers from the same drawbacks as solar, wind and geothermal. The middle of the US can't utilize it because it isn't available in all areas. It is location dependent. That is not to say we shouldn't use it. Just that we have to have something that is not location dependent. Until we have a viable replacement, nuclear is still the best for other areas.
And I certainly didn't say we should wait around. I think that would be inferred by my recommendation of utilizing nuclear power which is not perfect, but better than oil or coal fired plants. And I certainly did not recommend a standardized system. For instance Hawaii could use tidal. AZ can use solar(and hydroelectric). I'm not saying nuclear should replace those. That it should be used in conjunction with those to provide (relatively) clean power.
I agree that it would have to be a mixture of different solutions, but together they could get us off of burning fossil fuels to generate electricity while providing enough energy for hydrogen production, which would facilitate an eventual near-end to cars that run on gasoline.
Of course, this would also have the benefit of weaning us off of oil dependence, which is why it is being opposed.
I did a little research on this. Also living in Cali, where energy alternatives talk is just crammed down your throat...you do tend to try to solve the problems so people will just STFU and get out yer face.
So far as I know about the hydrogen energy issue there are 2 proposed ways I know of that they went at the problem:
1) making hydrogen gas to replace gasoline.
Failed for the basic reasons:
a) electrolysis is not efficient, even in a 1:1 ratio at bare minimum and thus not cost effective
b) pound for pound it could not match gasoline
Translation: lower MPG and performed poorer
2) hydrogen fuel cells
Neutral to failed
Since this is more or less the equivalent of an electric battery, it would be best suited to an electric car. Thus solving nothing of the fuel problem, and forgoing it with an electrical car I'm afraid it too is redundant. Capacitors and batteries have made TREMENDOUS leaps in improvements over the years. Well, at least capacitors have, though I'd imagine batteries have improved as well (we use them all the time and all the time we hear about their power and efficiency). Might just as well power the electric car the old fashioned way.
Utterly ridiculous? No I would not call it utterly ridiculous, just HIGHLY improbable.
However, I am at least aware that motion can be turned into electrical energy. Hand crank flashlights are evidence of this. In fact I disassembled one of these. Low and behold it's got an electric motor inside it. So applying motion to the motor produces power out its terminals...
So I wonder if you couldn't make the motion generated by driving recharge the spare battery as you drive. Switch batteries and recharge the first one as you continue to drive. It may not be 100% efficient and eventually it will end up drained but I'm always happy to offer improvements to keep performance going longer.....(I did aspire to electrical engineering)
You wanna see something that'll make your blood boil? Watch the documentary "who killed the electric car?" <cough GM>
Also, why are we not filtering grease from all those fast food restaurants and home cooked food so that it may be refined? Diesel engine cars adjusted for it. I see no good reason why not other than maybe producing it isn't as constant. But if we can run cars on it...that's better than just throwing it away, no?
Re who killed the electric car: GM is the scapegoat. They had done more to further the electric car than anyone. Government regs, production cost, and limited range did far more to kill it than anything. In fact they are looking at releasing the Volt which is a primarily electric car with 40 miles before it even runs gas at all. Mostly what killed the EV-1 was the timing. If it had come out now, I doubt GM would have terminated the project the way they did.
Fuel cell vehicles: Well in their defense, they can run on petrochemicals(aka gasoline) while the transition to hydrogen is in progress. When hydrogen is more readily available then they can switch them to pure hydrogen fuel cell. I wouldn't say it's neutral to failed. I would put it as "Unknown" at this point. Since we haven't developed it fully yet. Where we're at right now is the equivalent of the first IC engine. Actually probably more like the first steam engine(since the IC engine is somewhat based on the steam engine). It's more of a novelty at this point, but could produce something very effective.
biodiesel: in warm climates this is more viable, however as anyone who's driven a diesel up north can attest... congealing becomes a problem. Biodiesel congeals more readily than normal diesel. But yes, running diesels on biodiesel would be preferable to chucking it out.
recycling energy to recharge batteries: GM actually has that in the Volt, and their concept for the "Skateboard" FCV. I believe most of the hybrids do as well.... not sure on that. But basically it is because the force to recharge batteries creates a great deal of drag on the car. They use it to aid in braking.
Biodiesel also has the advantage of adding no extra CO2 to the atmosphere. It only adds back what the plants that it is produced from have taken out. It can be cheaply produced from certain types of algae, of all things. It's really the only biofuel that I'm in favor of.
Seriously, I'm not trying to be contrary here.
Unless you were talking about applying the chemical process of a fuel cell some other way. In which case I'm not entirely sure what you are talking about...:confused:
Refine it.
FCV: Battery charge times are why they are looking at fuel cells. Run time with a FCV can be pushed to near the gasoline powered run times. Essentially being able to recharge the battery at a refueling station. People don't want to wait 30-40 minutes for their car to charge(heck they barely want to wait that long for their cell phone haha).
Biodiesel: Well when you start refining and adding agents it starts to lessen the green aspect of it. Typical thinning agents are almost as bad as the diesel they are trying to replace. Heck why not run cars on grain alcohol... er... never mind... been done.
The Apollo spacecraft used fuel cells for power in the 1960's and 70's. Was it practical for that purpose? Most definitely.
Is is practical for America on a scale such as gasoline? By no means would that be likely to happen. It will likely serve a purpose that siphons excess energy on a limited scale where it otherwise would be wasted. If a wind turbine produces more excess energy than is demanded, it's wasted. Having an electrolyzing unit with energy sources like wind would allow for a more reliable and stable flow of energy from otherwise unreliable powerplants. Other methods ranged to pumping ground water into dried valleys and installing hydro electric dams.
Yes, hydrogen can be used as a medium in which to store excess generated power for later use, like a huge battery. This makes it incredibly useful, as most of this excess generated power is wasted at present. I'm still unsure as to why you don't believe that it should be used to power automobiles.
And please cut down on the all of the damned hostility. I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm trying to be tolerant, here, and you're really not helping the situation.
I'm surre Tommy was just putting it out there as best as he knew. No need to be abrasive...We're here for friendly discussion now.
In general, the use of hydrogen is not cost effective or feasible in a practical sense to most americans. Or as you'd put it, not realistic. :)
You can get hydrogen from a number of sources. And if you have a nuclear reactor laying about, you can get quite a bit of it using the heat and sulfur-iodine process.
Source kinda nifty.
[quote]You clearly have no idea how Hydrogen Fuel Cells work. The electricity is generated from the fuel, not sourced off a battery or a power grid.

If you want to discuss anything PM me or jae.- mimartin
Everyone needs to calm down with the "you have no idea what you're talking about" comments. Either present an argument proving them wrong, or don't. Adding these comments just makes you and your argument look bad.
Secondly, doesn't it take -more- energy to strip out Hydrogen that you actually get in return -from- the hydrogen? Isn't that why hydrogen is generally considered a terrible replacement for... well, anything?
Besides, can you think of a better way to power a car with 0 emissions? I'll admit that I can't, and until Mister Fusion™ becomes a reality, I doubt that anyone else can, either.
This was the reason for having fuel cells on spacecraft; because they are more effective for their weight to power ratio than solar panels over short periods. The shuttle and apollo had fuel cells because they weren't designed to fly for more than two weeks at a time, but it makes more sense for satellites in orbit for much longer than that to use solar panels.
But, compared to Gasoline, nothing is currently more "efficient" considering it comes out of the ground and all we really have to do is dig, find, and pump. The engine's aren't environmentally friendly, but how friendly are the plants using tons of energy to get relatively small amounts of hydrogen?
Now, that isn't to say I'm against research into it. With our current technology, obviously, getting hydrogen is incredibly inefficient. We have been making some breakthroughs though, and getting closer to overcoming that inefficient gap.
Actually, gotta appologize. Somehow I must have misread the first post.
My appologies DY. I thought you were talking about a hydrogen burning car and calling it a fuel cell car(I must have been more tired than I thought... or I need glasses... I am getting older...).
Some tidbits about Hydrogen production... there is a station constructed by our Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) that is completely off the grid, self-powered and produces its own hydrogen via solar power and water. This station is used to fuel the Hydrogen Fuel cell vehicles that they are currently testing.
This fuel source is viable, and so are the vehicles. I know I used to drive one, daily.
And I was an "Internal combustion accept no substitutes!" kind of person before.
All the data that you read about Hydrogen being hard to produce or more harmful are likely backed by interests that do not want to see this change. The gas companies stand to lose big if we were to change from gasoline for our vehicles. So be wary of who actually wrote what you are reading and who sponsored it as far as other sites and even textbooks.
Just my :twocents:
A nuclear breeder reactor is MANY times more efficient than a conventional heavy-water reactor, but because it costs twice as much, it is not economically feasible as a conventional reactor. That comes from the interest placed upon borrowed money and a low return on its investment. Even though solar may be free, its capital cost is so enormous that its interest expense almost makes it too expensive to make economic sense.
Although your single station exists and produces zero emissions, it likely was a terrible business investment for those who built it. In America, the first priority is to make the most profit from the smallest investment. The environment often comes second.
I have advocated for the split-cycle engine months ago and made the same argument that before doing a radical shift, the best alternative is to perfect what we already have. The split-cycle engine is a newer version of the internal combustion engine that pushes fuel efficiency from about 30% to 35% + cheaper potential energy storage than electric hybrid.
Seems like a fair idea though if its working. If you can convince a company/group/etc to run a wind/solar/etc powered hydrogen station then I'm all for the idea.
If we are using a nuclear power plant, however, it doesn't seem to make hydrogen much better or worse than gasoline.
I, personally, have not seen much good evidence that it is dangerous, but it is still fact that it is inefficient as a source -unless- you pull the electricity from a "free" source, like wind or sun.
I've been wanting solar panels on every roof anyway, so the closer we can get to that the more hydrogen becomes a more valid source of energy.
EDIT: The split cycle engine that D_Y is referring to is also known as the Scuderi Engine. It's efficiency is derived from how it generates a power stroke with every turn of the crankshaft instead of every other turn like with a conventional four-stroke cycle engine. It would probably be a good solution for the short-term, and is certainly compatible with existing automobile design, but I don't know how much more efficient it would be than a four-stroke cycle engine in real-world usage.
Its fantastic power, but using them to create Hydrogen hardly makes it an emission or environmentally friendly process. Now, is you use coast, wind, solar, etc power on the other hand I have little problem as tons of dangerous energy isn't being wasted.
I'm more of a no replacement for displacement gasoline guy, but I know darn good and well that it isn't a safe bet to keep thinking the gas will always flow. Granted, most of what I do can be translated to running alcohol(mostly fuel lines carb and intake gaskets). but still... lets face it, I'm a dinosaur. My kind of vehicle is out.
There is another issue to address that really is at the root of the 'hydrogen economy:' the difficulties in transitioning from one source of energy to another. Let's face it, no one would pay more for a vehicle powered by hydrogen under the conditions we have today. People will want gasoline-powered vehicles and any transition to another fuel source will be expensive. Hydrogen isn't like a liquid fossil fuel to store and handle, so the safety codes and gas station tanks and equipment would demand more new designs and implementation than something like gasohol.
Ethanol is way too unrealistic for practical use of a large scale in the US and with corn, but there are situations where it would make sense to use biodiesel fuel using waste products. That is only a way to make use of something that otherwise would have been lost, but unrealistic on a large scale. Vegetable oil is expensive compared to gasoline, but when it is to be disposed of; what little there is happens to be a good way to scavenge a little more energy that wasn't there before.
Actually DY, FCV is a good transition as it will run on petrochemicals though the emissions are not as clean as if it is on hydrogen(though still cleaner than the cleanest hybrid). You're actually hitting apon the "not readily available" part of my earlier post. There are very few hydrogen refueling locations.

I special ordered roses for my fiance from this hole. First they delivered them to the wrong address on a Sat. they were closed until Mon when my lady picked them up. I was promised a new arrangement that wasn't 4 days old but that was a lie and all but 4 flowers died in one day. The arrangement looked nothing like the one I ordered nor did they follow the special directions I explicitly asked for and paid for. The flowers were very tacky and cheap looking. The woman that claims she is the owner refused to correct the situation and was extremely rude, crass, cut us off when we were talking, spoke over us and was all around a horrible person, she made my fiancee cry. The flowers looked terrible, the customer service was some of the worst I've ever received and the price was higher than competitors. It was the worst experience with a florist I have ever had. I disputed the charge with my credit card company and got my money back. If the site would let me give them zero stars I would.
I used this florist for my wedding flowers and six years later, people still bring up how gorgeous the flowers were at my wedding ceremony and reception. Since then, I have seen arrangements from this florist at birthdays, anniversaries, special events, church services,and even funerals. The arrangements have always been striking and special. Note: if ordering from Bob Kelly (or any small florist, really) it's always best to call the florist directly rather than placing an order on and online site. The online site will promise you things for a certain price that the florist simply can't...
The current owner has some of the worst customer service skills I have ever encountered. First she delivered the flowers to the wrong addre...

It was very successful in each of the last two years so Disney has decided to do it all again. As per Doctor Disney on Feb. 28, 2014, Disney has announced another 24-hour, all-night event for both the Magic Kingdom park in Walt Disney World and the Disneyland Resort for a coast-to-coast event.
Disney revealed a pic on Friday morning that showed the "ultimate tweet" that was a giant hashtag made up of 140 awesome characters. It was to officially announce the "Rock Your Disney Side Party" that will take place in both parks and last a full 24-hours.
Beginning at 6:00 a.m. on May 23, 2014, the event will officially get underway. It will then end at 6:00 a.m. on May 24, 2014. Disney says the two theme parks will be "filled with Disney heroes and villains" during the whole time of the event.
Two years ago, the event was listed as "One More Disney Day" and was a 24-hour event that took place on Leap Day.
In 2013, the event kicked off the "Monstrous Summer" with another 24-hour day that coincided with the upcoming release of the new Pixar film, "Monsters University."
Now, the company wants guests to show their #DisneySide and come dressed in costume to celebrate the good vs. evil, hero vs. villain theme that will take over Magic Kingdom and Disneyland. It's going to bring about special treats, rare characters, and awesome events.
Making it even better is that this event will happen at the same time as the second weekend of Star Wars Weekends at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Facebook has become one of the most popular social networks of this world with over 1.15 billion users. It is regarded as a powerful platform for businesses because it can offer them a myriad of potential benefits. Even though some of these benefits can also be derived from a website, there are numerous ones that are considered unique to the social network. They have the ability of increasing the sales of a business and thus boost profits. Here are some of the perks that a business will notice when they use Facebook:
• Low-cost marketing strategy
Marketing activities that give rise to costs worth thousands of dollars when implemented via other channels can be conducted at a fraction of the cost when done via Facebook. Thus, small businesses with a restricted marketing budget will find it immensely useful. Larger companies can also test marketing themes and concepts through Facebook before investing in bigger campaigns.
• Sharing information about business
A Facebook page for a business can be used for publicizing the name of the business, contact details, addresses and a brief description of products and services. A business can also discuss other aspects such as their history and staff, which can create interest and attract more and more customers.
• Talk to current and potential customers
Facebook offers an excellent opportunity for a business to talk to their existing clients and also communicate with their new ones by sending and receiving messages. However, this doesn't mean that a business should do aggressive promotion as this might actually turn off customers. Sharing information that's useful, creative and also related to the business is the best way to lure customers in. This promotes the business and also builds its credibility for developing long term relationships with customers. It is also a good way for a business to get some feedback about their business, products and industry.
• Give customer support
It is possible for customers to get their problems, complaints and queries resolved on Facebook, which is quicker, easily accessible and more convenient for them. It is also efficient and cost effective for a business.
• Raise brand awareness
The business profile on Facebook can be enhanced by getting more and more people to Like the page. Once the page is liked by customers, their friends will also be able to notice the posts of the business. Businesses can run various campaigns to attract more likes or they can buy likes in beginning. For instance, a USA based company can buy USA Facebook likes from a reputable seller and attract even more likes from United States, and vice versa. This helps in building brand awareness and recognition in the market. Customers will also form a positive opinion about the business's products and services.
• Increase traffic to website
A link of the website can also be listed on the Facebook page. It has been reported by several businesses that the greatest benefit to them is the increased traffic to their website through the Facebook page. Visitors coming to the website get to see stronger marketing messages and notice the option of purchasing goods and services. They will be more receptive and will be motivated to spread the word to their friends and families.
With these benefits, a business can grow and expand quickly thanks to Facebook.

The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) prohibits home sellers from dictating to home buyers, a required title company must be utilized for a closing. RESPA specifically states in Section 9, "RESPA prohibits a seller from requiring the home buyer to use a particular title insurance company, either directly or indirectly, as a condition of sale. Buyers may sue a seller who violates this provision for an amount equal to three times all charges made for the title insurance."
A home seller or buyer, often times, depend upon the recommendation of their real estate agent, attorney or lender. An informed consumer will familiarize themselves with the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act when searching for a new home or considering the sale of their home. Ask family, friends, business associates and acquaintances what their personal experience may have been with a particular title company.
Delayed closings are frequently due to:
- The home buyers do not see a HUD-1 settlement statement until they are seated at the closing table.
- Home buyers are unaware of how much money to bring to the closing because they did not have access to the HUD-1 statement before arriving, for the closing.
- The title company did not perform due diligence for acquiring the required documentation or notification of involved parties for a home which is part of an estate or trust.
- All five printers at the title company run out of toner the day of your closing.
- Miscommunication between real estate agents, lenders, seller and buyer for required documentation, identification and funds.
- The title company does not perform due diligence for acquiring release of liens because they claim release of liens could not be located at the county court house. (The Realtor® had no problem obtaining the release of lien by driving to the county court house and asking for it!)
Do not be caught with all of your earthly belongings packed into a rented truck, parked outside of a title company for the closing of your dream home and find out your home could not be closed. Choose an experienced real estate agent to follow up with all involved parties. Familiarity with faults, errors and omissions will aid in an uneventful process. Remember, if there is an incomplete closing, there are no keys.

Last weekend, I was in NYC to visit friends and also to shoot with different photographers for my own portfolio. I had appointments with some of my favourite photographers in the Big Apple including Kevin McDermott. Kevin is an amazing talented man who captures beauty with lot's of class. His work is very elegant, sophisticated yet very sexy.
Few years ago, Kevin made a book in collaboration with Model Todd Sanfield, MOTEL | HOTEL. Following the success of their sold-out first collaboration, Kevin and Todd bring us VIRGIN ISLAND. One day, dawn to dusk, alone on a tropical Caribbean island, VIRGIN ISLAND is Todd's escape from the hustle of MOTEL | HOTEL. The incredible locations become the ideal backdrops for the dream getaway. The results are lush and decadent; an erotically-charged adventure within the island's natural beauty.
I saw the photos when I met Kevin in his studio and let me tell you that it is truly one of the nicest photography book I have ever seen. The images are colourful, sexy and gorgeous and Todd is absolutefuckingly stunning! If you like beautiful photos and hot men (Todd Sanfield in this case), VIRGIN ISLAND is the perfect book for your coffee table. You can pre-order the book at a special price here, like I did! Can't wait to receive it. Take note that the book will be shipped in July.
Check out the teaser video after the jump and try not to get a hardon! Let me know what you think of it in the comment section!
Yeah I got a hardon. But frankly there's lots of models that hot or hotter. I was expecting more. I mean good stuff but nothing to stop the world from spinning like the pitch had me expecting. In fact his face is rather average.
Also, does the book show dick? What an annoying tease if not. And in the vid, I'd say way too much hand over cock. I find that a very weak and unattractive posture. It reeks of shame and weakness and not flattering.
Sidd of course u see the dick!!!
FYI- Virgin Islands(US)
St.John, USVI (location)
Stunning!!!!!!!!!! Simply Stunning!!!!!!!!!!
Worth the purchase. . . .
Very Hot!! Love a hairy Bush!!
His ass is so nice mm mm and I'm a bttm nice to have something to grab on to
Yeah. I'm not impressed. The photography is great but the model is just average. I think if the photographer had a better model we would have lightning in a bottle. This… Kinda meh.
yuck . that face .
I guess I am too old for all these studs that shave their heads (and usually everything). He did keep the bush which is nice but I like hair all over and especially on his top head. I still would not kick him out of my bed but maybe have to throw a pillow over his head
Holy fuck!!! That's a man! From the face to body …. that fur on his cock…would love to be held in his arms
I am from the US Virgin Islands. 🙂

Network World: A Look at 22 Linux Foundation Newbies
Given the open-source community's emphasis on being inclusive and welcoming to as many contributors as possible, it's perhaps unsurprising that the Linux Foundation – an umbrella group working to promote and support the use of Linux – has already added no fewer than 22 new corporate members this year. Here's a look at the companies that joined up.

Jimmy Fallon added a Golden Retriever puppy to his family named Gary.
She is a female with the same draw to the camera as her master. One week after she joined the family Fallon brought her on his late night show along with guest Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan.
She was a young puppy and full of energy as she sat with Fallon. Millan instantly was attracted to the little dog. He was amazed at how well behaved she was for her age.
He suggested keeping the environment around the canine as relaxed as possible. He took the dog in his lap showing how to keep an active puppy calm by just sitting and talking with Fallon and stroking the puppy.
Fallon chose the Golden Retriever because it is his favorite breed. Milwaukee area fans can see Fallon nightly as the new host of the Tonight Show and maybe Gary will be a guest.
Milwaukee dog owners do not have to have a dog whisperer to help with their puppy training there are several good programs available in the area, such as, the Wisconsin Humane Society and Bay View Bark.

Tony Awards night is always exciting in New York City. Filled with tradition, the Broadway show community goes all out to put on a good show and celebrate.
With the 2009 changes that went into effect blocking off traffic in Times Square, a new tradition has been born. Times Square becomes an outdoor theater where people can go to watch the Awards show on jumbo screen. This was the second year this event has taken place.
The simulcast was on a Clear Channel Spectacolor HD screen mounted very high up on a building near the corner of 47th Street and Broadway facing Times Square where 1,000 chairs were set up to let people sit down and watch the show. And very comfortable chairs they were. As advertised, the simulcast went on rain or shine. Luckily, it stayed dry until about 10:00 when a slight mist was present, but not enough to send anyone running off.
Constantine Maroulis, a 2009 Tony nominee and star of Broadway's Rock of Ages served as the host for the evening. He did a good job interacting with the large crowd and handling the trivia questions that were displayed on the jumbo screen when the rest of the world had to watch commercials. He had some interesting stories as he guided us through the evening. Not an easy job to do in such a fast moving place as Times Square; but he was up to the task.
A few observations about being a part of the simulcast:
People were in a really good mood and enjoying themselves. The 1,000 seats were filled for the entire evening although some people left and new ones came in to take their places.
The crowd applauded just like they were inside Radio City Musical Hall. When the nominees were announced, the crowd applauded each one and then gave a big applause for the winners.
There were volunteers on hand to help out and they did a great job. They seemed to be enjoying being there and that added to the spirit of the event.
No one was in a very big hurry to leave when the show ended. What could have been a NY rush hour stampede turned out to be a lot of people who were enjoying the experience and were not ready to leave.
The Tony Awards show was a good one this year. Congratulations to all the nominees and the winners. And thanks to all who were involved with organizing and doing the Times Square simulcast. Let's hope this tradition continues on.

News from Unity
For the first time, four board certified orthopaedic surgeons with different areas of specialty from the Joint Replacement Center at Unity Hospital will participate in a panel, answering questions from the public. The specialists participating in this public forum are: • Michael Klotz, M.D. • Mark Stenclik, M.D. • Raymond Stefanich, M.D. • Luke Loveys, M.D. They will discuss the following specialty areas: hip, knee, hand/shoulder, and foot/ankle. "We're excited to have this opportunity to interact with the public," said Michael Klotz, M.D., medical director of the Joint Replacement Center. "It gives us the ability to address the questions and concerns that many people have about joint problems and possible treatment options. Many people aren't sure when to consult an orthopaedic physician about problems they are having. This panel will allow them to get more information without having to make an appointment or get a referral." The Joint Replacement Center at Unity Hospital is the area's leading joint replacement center, featuring the area's largest group of orthopaedic surgeons performing joint replacement. The Center performs about 1,500 procedures a year, with a streamlined and efficient process for patients and their families. The Joint Replacement Center's Panel of Experts session will be held on Wednesday, October 7, 2009, 6:30 - 8 p.m., at the Double Tree Hotel, 1111 Jefferson Road. The seminar is free and refreshments will be served. To register, call 368-3000 or visit www.unityhealth.org/jointseminar Note to Media: coverage of the Panel of Experts Seminar is welcome.

Pitcher Alicia Hollowell (17-4) lasted five innings and was touched up for seven hits and four earned runs, despite striking out 10 Golden Bears. Also, Hollowell's only walk was an intentional free pass that she handed out in the fourth.
The Golden Bears jumped on UA hurler Alicia Hollowell early, as they put up one run on three hits in the first inning.
Down five runs in the top of the fifth, UA mounted a rally, but came away with only one run. An RBI single by Kristie Fox scored Caitlin Lowe, but that's all the scoring
Game notes:
- Kristie Fox extended her hitting streak to three games. She had at least one RBI in each game this weekend.
- This is the first loss for Alicia Hollowell this season, in which, she did not allow a home run.

A Rash of Deaths and a Missing Reporter – With Ties to Wall Street Investigations
By Pam Martens
February 3, 2014
In a span of four days last week, two current executives and one recently retired top ranking executive of major financial firms were found dead. Both media and police have been quick to label the deaths as likely suicides. Missing from the reports is the salient fact that all three of the financial firms the executives worked for are under investigation for potentially serious financial fraud.
The deaths began on Sunday, January 26. London police reported that William Broeksmit, a top executive at Deutsche Bank who had retired in 2013, had been found hanged in his home in the South Kensington section of London. The day after Broeksmit was pronounced dead, Eric Ben-Artzi, a former risk analyst turned whistleblower at Deutsche Bank, was scheduled to speak at Auburn University in Alabama on his allegations that Deutsche had hid $12 billion in losses during the financial crisis with the knowledge of senior executives. Two other whistleblowers have brought similar charges against Deutsche Bank.
Deutsche Bank is also under investigation by global regulators for potentially rigging the foreign exchange markets – an action similar to the charges it settled in 2013 over its traders' involvement in the rigging of the interest rate benchmark, Libor.
Just two days after Broeksmit's death, on Tuesday, January 28, a 39-year old American, Gabriel Magee, a Vice President at JPMorgan in London, plunged to his death from the roof of the 33-story European headquarters of JPMorgan in Canary Wharf. According to Magee's LinkedIn profile, he was involved in "Technical architecture oversight for planning, development, and operation of systems for fixed income securities and interest rate derivatives…"

PURPOSE: Tankyrases 1 and 2 are telomere-associated poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARP) that can positively regulate telomere elongation and interact with multiple cellular proteins. Recent reports implicated tankyrases as tumor antigens and potential targets of anticancer treatment. We examined expression of tankyrases in colon tumors and immune response to these enzymes in patients with different types of cancer. METHODS: mRNA and protein expression was evaluated by quantitative real-time RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Humoral immune response to recombinant tankyrases was investigated by modified enzyme-linked immunoassays. Cellular immune response was analysed by ELISPOT and (51)Cr release assays. RESULTS: We found that both mRNA and protein levels of tankyrase 2 (TNKL) are upregulated in colon tumors. In contrast, protein level of tankyrase 1 (TNKS) is downregulated, while mRNA level shows variable changes. More than a quarter of colon cancer patients develop humoral immune response to at least one of the two tankyrases. In this study we mapped common and unique B-cell epitopes located in different domains of the two proteins. Additionally, we present evidence for T-cell responses both to epitopes that are unique for TNKL and to those shared between TNKL and TNKS. CONCLUSION: Our study favors a biomarker usage of antibody response to tankyrases. Spontaneous CD8(+) T-cell responses to these enzymes are rare and further investigation is needed to evaluate tankyrases as potential targets for cancer immunotherapy.

The AM Roundup: Corzine's Counsel, Full Tilt, More
In Jon Corzine's corner: The (now former) MF Global chief executive has hired Dechert's Andrew Levander to represent him in cases that might stem from the securities firm's bankruptcy filing Monday.
Not a bad choice. Levander represented outside directors of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., former Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain and hedge-fund manager and philanthropist Ezra Merkin, who was sued over money he lost in the Ponzi scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff. WSJ
More MF: An analysis by the WSJ shows the company may have disguised its debt levels to investors by temporarily slashing the debt it was carrying before publicly reporting its finances each quarter.
Labor unions make a stand in Ohio: They are hoping to steal momentum from efforts nationally to scale back union rights by decisively defeating a state law limiting public-employee bargaining. WSJ
First cell phones, now homes: Cuba will allow citizens to buy and sell their homes for the first time in decades. The move is the latest attempt by President Raúl Castro to patch up a crumbling economy after decades of communist rule under his older brother Fidel. WSJ
Back at full tilt? A French investment group may be close to locking down an agreement with the Justice Department that would allow the group to take control of the assets of website Full Tilt Poker and resume the site's operations outside of the U.S. WSJ
Can he beat it? The NYT has coverage of closing arguments in the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray, who served as Michael Jacksons' private physician in the final months of his life and is now charged with manslaughter.

Track List
Album Reviews:
Down Beat (p.85) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[O]n 'Jackie-ing' the band opens with a fragmented approach to the beat on the first few verses, building tension that releases into a breezy, straightahead groove."
Album Notes
Ellis Marsalis/Ellis Marsalis Quartet: Ellis Marsalis (piano); Derek Douget (saxophone, soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone); Jason Stewart (bass instrument); Jason Marsalis (drums).
Audio Mixer: Jason Marsalis.
Liner Note Author: Jason Marsalis.
Recording information: Music Shed, New Orleans, LA (10/27/2007-11/07/2007).
Editor: Jason Marsalis.
Photographers: Jeff Strout; Herman Leonard.
One of the most challenging demands placed on a jazz musician is interpreting another's works while utilizing the same instrumentation as the composer. Veteran pianist and jazz educator Ellis Marsalis admits that at one point in his career, he was not objective about Thelonious Monk as a composer, preferring the bop of Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker. But with the passage of time and the opening of his ears to the subtle nuances of Monk's compositions, he is perfectly at ease playing his music on these 2007 sessions, which include his youngest son Jason Marsalis on drums, bassist Jason Stewart, and tenor saxophonist Derek Douget (who also doubles on soprano sax). While the opener "Crepescule with Nellie" doesn't stray too far from Monk's concept, the rollicking treatment of "Jackie-Ing" opens up the piece a good bit. Douget switches to soprano for a funky, New Orleans-flavored interpretation of "Epistrophy." The driving take of "Teo," a blues that Monk recorded just a few times, brings to the forefront one of his lesser known works. Throughout the date Marsalis keeps Monk's music very much alive with his inspired interpretations of the legend's compositions. ~ Ken Dryden

Here's LeAnn Rimes in NYC, proving that sneaker wedges are not dead yet in a pair of the original Isabel Marant Bekket Sneaker Wedges. Every time we start wondering aloud if sneaker wedges are a little played out, some celeb proves there's still a little life left in the trend, even though everyone including Skechers now has their own Isabel Marant sneaker wedge imitation. These shoes are available for $795 at Net-a-Porter.
LeAnn was in the city doing press for her new album. Frankly, I'm glad to see her looking fit and healthy instead of sick. LeAnn's life has been just a tad dramatic in recent years, and I think we can all agree it'd be nice to see it return to some degree of normalcy. I'm not sure if buying her new album will help forward that effort or not…I'll leave that to your discretion.

Senior Tim Younger earns Chapel Hill All-Regional Team honors
June 4, 2012
Complete Chapel Hill Regional Stats l ECU Regional Stats Only
GREENVILLE, N.C. - East Carolina senior Tim Younger closed out his Pirate career being named to the 2012 Chapel Hill All-Regional Team as voted by the members of the media following Sunday night's championship game between St. John's and host North Carolina.
The Clearwater, Fla. native batted .357 (5-for-14) tying for second on the team with Drew Reynolds and trailing only sophomore Chase McDonald, who batted .545 (6-for-11). Younger drove in a pair of runs, scored twice, drew one walk and recorded 14 putouts and six assists.
Younger, who became the ninth recipient of the honorary No. 23 jersey worn by the late ECU Head Coach Keith LeClair, started 60 games on the season (52 at second base) concluded his career season batting .313 (68-for-217) with 10 doubles, 27 RBI and scored 38 runs. He posted 19 multi-hit games, including a three-hit performance against No. 6 national seed North Carolina in his final collegiate game in the Chapel Hill Regional. Younger recorded a pair of game-winning RBI (Penn State, UAB) and on March 30 drove in a career-best four runs in ECU's 11-6 win over the Blazers where he was 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored.
He took home his first ever Conference USA Hitter-of-the-Week award on April 9 following ECU's series win over Houston at Lewis Field inside Clark-LeClair Stadium. During that week Younger batted a team-best .500 (9-for-18) and helped the Pirates to their second-straight C-USA series win over Houston (2-0-1). He recorded multiple hits in all four games on the week and scored at least one run in all three C-USA contests, totaling five. At instate rival UNC Wilmington on April 3, Younger was 2-for-4 (both singles) and reached base three times (hit by pitch). In the series opener against Houston, he was 2-fof-4 with a pair of RBI, a run scored and reach base four times (two singles, a walk and a fielder's choice). Younger followed that with his third-straight multi-hit performance, going 2-for-4 with a pair of runs and a walk. In the series finale, he tied his career-high with three hits (two singles and a double) and scored a pair of runs.

During the holiday lull I managed to finally update the Ruby and Rails book pages. The Ruby page includes a few new titles and sees a few existing ones get the axe, as I took the major emphasis on Ruby 1.9 into consideration when updating this list of books.
The Rails page is a complete rewrite as I've removed any trace of Rails 2 books. I outlined a useful path of Rails books to follow based on the few available titles that are up-to-date with the latest version of the framework.
It's likely that more books on the subject will come out in the next few months and as they do, I will update the list accordingly. That said, the existing Rails 3 books (or those that are just about to be released) are very valid, useful ones.

The Motorola Droid RAZR M 4G LTE for Verizon is a very nice looking phone for the price. moto is moving in the right direction lately. for a "mid level" phone I think it is pretty slick, honestly the chin does not bother me nearly as much as the damn camera hump on the last few Motoroal Droid phone does.
New Cell Phones 2012 – New Motorola Cell Phones – New Verizon Phones
Motorola DROID RAZR M cell phone photos
Motorola Droid RAZR M 4G Specs:
- 4.3-inch qHD 960×540 Super AMOLED Advanced display
- 1.5GHz dual-core MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 processor
- 8GB built-in storage along

- 3-megapixel front cameras
- Gorilla Glass 2 screen
- GSM/UMTS/HSPA+ global roaming support
- Android 4.0 ICS
Okay, I know this phone got a lot of hate but it actually looks pretty slick to me. And if I were to upgrade, that price is appealing to me. A locked bootloader does not prevent you from rooting the device. It just means you can't easily replace the device's kernel with a custom one, which also makes it difficult (but not impossible) to install a custom ROM. Even so, there are still custom ROMs for most Motorola devices, and things like kexec.

Turbulente Konvektion
Computational Fluid Dynamics
Universität Göttingen
Institut für Geophysik
Convection is an ubiquitous phenomenon which occurs in the atmosphere, theoceans, the interior of the Earth, and in numerous engineering applications.Convection has also served as a paradigm for pattern forming systems because theflow can organize itself into rolls or polygonal structures. It is not known howthe large scales of convection are organized once the flow has become turbulent. This project intends to study the large scale patterns which persist in theturbulent regime. Convection in a plane layer will be simulated within theBoussinesq approximation. Quantities extracted from the computations willinclude the Nusselt number, the Reynolds number, and the spectral distributionsof heat transport and kinetic energy. The equations of motion are solved with a spectral method. The velocity field isdecomposed into poloidal and toroidal scalars in order to automatically obtain adivergence free velocity field. The spectral decomposition uses Fourier modesand Chebychev polynomials.

"America's Got Talent" returns May 27 for its ninth season on NBC and it is going to spruce things up a little bit with a couple of changes in the format.
First, the judges are going to get a save. It is not a new concept. The judges on "American Idol" get one save per season. The difference with "AGT" is that each judge gets one save per season instead of it being a group save. That way, if one judge feels strongly about a performer who gets buzzed off, he can bring them back. Judge Heidi Klum calls it the Golden Buzzer.
Howie Mandel says he has already used his save this season for someone he wanted to see more of, but he is also concerned that someone better may come along, as they are only half way through, and he has already used his save.
Another change for the season is for the first time, Bootcamp will be held in New York City in front of a live audience. "AGT" executive producer Sam Donnelly said that the format for Bootcamp will change, but since it is in development, she didn't want to reveal too much.
Also the locale for auditions with the judges -- Klum, Mandel, Howard Stern and Mel Brown -- have been limited to Los Angeles and New York City.
"In New York, the contestants are flown in and they audition at Madison Square Garden," Mandel told reporters at the NBC/Universal Summer Press Day at the Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena. "In Los Angeles, they are going to be on the stage at the Dolby Theatre, where the Oscars take place. So already, their first time out is an epic experience, and there's going to be more pressure than they have ever been under before."
As host Nick Cannon points out, being the most talented person in Poughkeepsie isn't the same as making the cut in the big cities, so by holding the auditions at Madison Square Garden and the Dolby Theater pushes people to up their game.
The one thing that all three judges agree on is that the talent is great this season -- even though they are aware that they say the same thing every year -- but finding worthy contestants is the most important thing to them.
"I don't care how sad or deep the background story is," Klum said. "If the act is bad, they get my X."
"We are the luckiest people on earth and whoever watches the show shares in that," Mandel said. "We are truly really excited about what we see. I think in each previous year we'd look at each other and say, 'Can you believe that guy did that?' And this year is even more dangerous, more spectacular and more off the hook than this show has ever been before."
"America's Got Talent" returns on May 27 at 9 p.m. on NBC.

A movie about a man ending up in a concave or (Hollow) world think the movie was Russian or Eastern European. Pretty sure the movie was made since 2000 but not 100% sure. I remember him talking to a women about the concave world (she was a native of that place) and her being confused when he talked about his world. I only saw the trailers so don't have much info.
It's odd but most of the reviews I've read don't mention the "hollowness'' of the planet (shown in the first pic). Some details from the book the movie was based on:

|Integrality and divisibility of the Witten genus
|Geometry Luncheon Seminar
|Stephan Stolz, Notre Dame
|It is well-known that the A-roof genus A(M) of a closed spin manifold M is integral, and in fact divisible by 2 if the dimension of M is 8k+4. First proved via K-theory, this is the consequence of the Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem which interprets A(M) as the index of the Dirac operator on M. A higher analog of A(M) is the Witten genus W(M) which heuristically can be interpreted as the equivariant index of the (only heuristically defined) "Dirac operator" on the free loop space LM. Work of Mike Hopkins and collaborators on "Topological Modular form theory" (a cohomology theory) implies divisibility results for W(M) for string manifolds M. An analytic interpretation of these results is an open question.

In most sectors of American life, the popularity of jazz-influenced music seems to have gone the way of the dodo bird. Lucky for us, a trio of Australians are keeping it alive. The Necks are known for extending deep, elastic grooves into the stratosphere, somehow conjuring up a mesmerizing galaxy of sound with only three members.
Don't be confused - this is not the academic brand of jazz that leaves you scratching your head. The Necks seamlessly blend avant-garde tangents with gorgeous streams of melody, channeling Miles Davis alongside In Rainbows-era Radiohead. Fans of local heroes Tortoise will not be disappointed, and for jazz lovers it's an absolute no-brainer.
The Necks appear tonight at The Empty Bottle as part of their first ever North American tour. Tickets for either the 7 PM show or the 10 PM show are $15 and can be purchased here.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Silver Spring Networks Inc (NYSE:SSNI) have lost roughly a third of their value today after the company released its first-quarter earnings and announced its intention to acquire an Internet of Things specialist for an undisclosed amount last night.
So what: Silver Spring reported revenue of $71.8 million, and an adjusted loss of $0.19 per share for the first quarter. Both of these figures beat the Wall Street consensus, which had sought $67.5 million on the top line and a loss of $0.20 per share. Silver Spring's revenue was nonetheless a 3% year-over-year decline, which was blamed on "near-term timing delays."
Going forward, the company now projects revenue to range from $60 million to $65 million for the second quarter, producing a loss of between $0.22 and $0.26 per share. Silver Spring also expects to generate between $300 million and $330 million in revenue for the full year. Both estimates are much, much worse than what Wall Street had expected -- the consensus had been for $75.4 million in revenue, and a loss of $0.12 in the second quarter, and analysts had expected Silver Spring to generate $366.1 million in revenue for the full year.
Silver Spring also agreed to acquire Streetlight.Vision, a French Internet of Things company that develops control and management software for (what else?) street lights. The two companies have already worked together to connect street lights in many cities around the world, so there is a fair amount of familiarity here already.
Now what: Silver Spring's results are not good, and they don't show the growth investors need to see in a small and relatively speculative tech company. Silver Spring might turn itself around eventually but, as of today, its shares have already lost half their value since the company's IPO. Unless you're willing to essentially place a bet on a company that isn't giving you any reason for optimism today, there's no reason to even consider buying shares, even after this major collapse.
Are you ready to profit from this $14.4 trillion revolution?
Let's face it, every investor wants to get in on revolutionary ideas before they hit it big. Like buying PC-maker Dell in the late 1980s, before the consumer computing boom. Or purchasing stock in e-commerce pioneer Amazon.com in the late 1990s, when it was nothing more than an upstart online bookstore. The problem is, most investors don't understand the key to investing in hyper-growth markets. The real trick is to find a small-cap "pure-play," and then watch as it grows in EXPLOSIVE lockstep with its industry. Our expert team of equity analysts has identified one stock that's poised to produce rocket-ship returns with the next $14.4 TRILLION industry.

It is the quintessential American trip: coast to coast, at a ripe young age, on a shoestring budget, and with no plans. We had the perfect vehicles, where we could feel the breeze in our faces and hear the rush of wind in our helmets. The days were long and hot, short and wet, and everything in between. We set out to discover what America was, what united us as a nation, and where we were heading in the future. We set out to find a common thread that connected us all. We set out to find Main Street. This is what we found.
