text: "RAPPORT. Experimentelle Raumstrukturen." - A fascinating experiment with space - Vorwerk Carpets and a project by international architect Jürgen Mayer H.The exhibit "RAPPORT. Experimentelle Raumstrukturen." ('Repeat Pattern. Experimental Spatial Structures') offers new insights into Jürgen Mayer H.'s interdisciplinary mindset and his approach to design. His team developed a walkable installation for the 10-metre-high lobby at the Berlinische Galerie. The walls and floor are fitted with carpet printed with black & green data backup patterns. The highly magnified repeat pattern creates a kind of 'continuous flicker', the lobby is transformed into an interesting scenario composed of shapes and structures that flow into and away from each other. The perfectly sized 800 m² carpet from Vorwerk acts as a fundamental element of the spatial architecture thereby. Visitors explore, sense and grasp the space via the carpet. "J. MAYER H. RAPPORT. Experimentelle Raumstrukturen."From the 16th of September, 2011 to the 9th of April, 2012 at Berlinische Galerie, Alte Jakobstrasse 124-128, 10969 Berlin.Documentation:Concept Meiré und MeiréProduction CHBP

Welterweight champion Floyd "Money" Mayweather 42-0, 26 knockouts, is close to an agreement to fight lightweight champion Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on May 5. A source with knowledge of the negotiation told me that the two sides were very close to securing a deal that could be announced as early as this week.
A clash with Mayweather will be undoubtedly the biggest fight of Guerrero's career. For months, the Gilroy, California native has told the boxing world that he will be the one to defeat the undefeated pound for pound king.
Guerrero says he knows Mayweather like the back of his hand, and that a fight between Floyd and Guerrero, a multilingual Mexican-American, will sell on Cinco de Mayo weekend in Las Vegas.
Mayweather's advisor Leonard Ellerbe said their camp will announce Mayweather's opponent this week and the signs are pointing towards Guerrero (28-1, 18 knockouts) getting the shot he desires.
Fight fans expected May 5to be the day Mayweather and Pacquiao finally fight. But both parties have apparently failed to come to terms once again. As it stands now, Pacquiao is expected to fight in late May or early June leaving Mayweather without a dance partner for May 5.
The anticipated May 5th date was nearly derailed when a Las Vegas judge sentenced "Money May" to begin a 90 day jail term on January 6. On Friday, the judge postponed the ruling until June 1st allowing Mayweather to go through with the bout he announced nearly two months ago.
I don't like it. Guerrero is too soft, too small, and too injury prone. I bought Mayweather's last ywo PPVs, and I hate PPVs, but I won't buy this one. Floyd is the WBC welterweight champion. Shouldn't he fight a welterweight?
this is a complete and utter joke. this would be equal to floyd stepping up two weight classes to MW and fighting a sized guy like pavlik or taylor.
the ghost is a career super featherweight and lightweight i mean are you kidding me floyd
is gonna sign this fight? too small, too light, too weak, too short, no reach.
floyd wins 12 rounds to none or early knockout if he really wants.
ya the ghost is good but watch the katsidis fight he had trouble getting to him, could barely land a jab. he didnt dominate and impress.
how can anyone support this fight?
Never saw this coming.....fight better be free.
I ain't feeling this fight at all the ghost just talked his way into a big fight...Alvarez Cotto or Martinez is the only guys I would want him to fight if he's not getting pan.
Yeah...I'm not feeling this one either, but if you think about it...what's thediffernce between this and Pacman vs Marquez??? Guerrero is bigger than Marquez, maybe not as skilled but bigger. I'm not paying for this joint, really it's not a fight out there I'd pay for besides Berto vs. Ortiz. At least with that one I know it's going to be fireworks. I wish I didn't order Pacman vs. Marquez 3. I'd pay for a Floyd vs. the winner of Berto vs. Ortiz or Floyd vs. Pacman but that's about it, but Bob Arum is ducking that wreck LOL. Dueces
Real Talk: I wish I didn't order Pacman vs. Marquez 3.
Why would you feel that way?
Whaddup, Real Talk! Team Money May and Fam May are gettin' on their snake-oil salesman's optical illusions to the public be damn and dumb! They are letting everybodeee and dey momma falsely blame da BobFather for blocking Money May's tumble and stumble. It is he who has held up the Money May-Da Manny rumble. But it is all good. Dude is a master prizefighter, not a pride fighter. If there are fools foolish enough to buy Guerrero-Mayweather, then why should not Money May take a low, low risk fight bout with high, high moola? All the bias boxing media are going to keep voting him the best with their severe inattention blindness to reality and actuality.
I'm luvin' how Money May is ducking Da Manny arse thrashing in plain view and still gettin paid. Go MONEY! GO! He is one of the biggest legal money thieves of all time. Holla!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Changi Terminal 5 is expected to be ready by mid-2020s, doubling Changi Airport's current capacity and going a long way in ensuring Singapore's competitiveness as an air hub (Click here to view article). PM Lee also noted that the Airport and its related services provide some 163,000 jobs and account for 6 per cent of Singapore's GDP.
Changi Business Park was launched in 1997 as part of the Government's plans to decentralise economic activities. It had since attracted many companies seeking high quality business space outside the Central Business District (CBD). Some of the world's leading companies at Changi Business Park include Honeywell, Xilinx, CISCO and financial institutions such as DBS Bank, Citibank and Standard Chartered Bank (Click here to view article).
The business park's growth was supported by the many amenities and infrastructure put in place over the past few years and also a ready labour pool from the nearby suburban towns of Tampines and Simei.
Changi Business Park has evolve into a major employment hub with thousands of workers relocating there over the past 4 years. The working population is expected to grow further with the recent opening of office building, One@Changi City. The office block is more than 90 per cent occupied, with anchor tenants such as Credit Suisse and JPMorgan. The opening of One@Changi City also marks the completion of Changi City, Singapore's largest integrated business park development which integrates business space, ONE@Changi City with retail mall - Changi City Point and hotel -CAPRI BY FRASER. The retail mall houses shops such as Cold Storage, Koufu, Gain City, Bagus, Nike, Challenger and Tung Lok Signatures and will serve the residents and office workers in the area. Park Avenue is another hotel located opposite Changi City Point mall.
According to JTC, the park will continue to evolve, housing industries and enterprises that can leverage on the close proximity to Changi Airport, as well as incubate new industries that could emerge from Singapore University of Technology (SUTD). (Click here to view article)
SUTD is a research-intensive institution that focuses on technology-intensive design education and research. Established in collaboration with MIT, SUTD is expected to serve as a new engine of knowledge creation and talent attraction that will help boost Singapore's economy.
With a growing catchment of working professionals, families, students, Changi will realise the work, live, learn and play concept. There is potential leasing demand in the area.

Let $D$ be a convex set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $f: D \to \mathbb{R}$ a concave and $C^1$ function. How do I show that $x^*$ is a global maximum for $f$ if and only if $f^{(1)}(x^*)y \leq 0$ for all $y$ pointing into $D$ at $x^*$ (Here $f^{(1)}$ denotes the first derivative of $f$)

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
If we had $f^{(1)} (x^*)y > 0$ then by the definition of the derivative we could find a point close by in that direction for which the value $f$ is higher. That shows the only if part.
For the other direction, take any other point $y \in D$. Consider a straight path between the two points $v(t) : [0,1] \to \mathbb{R}^d$, $v(t) = x^* + t(y-x^*)$. $f(v(t))$ is concave and continuously differentiable with respect to $t$, so must have nonincreasing derivative. Combining this observation with the fact that $f^{(1)} (x^*)y \le 0$ and the fundamental theorem of calculus, we see that $f(y) \le f(x^*)$.

I don't know why, but I just love every single one of Cosentino's wines. There are very few wineries where I love their entire selection, but this is one. The tasting area can get crowded late in the day, since they are open later than most wineries.

In her fourth year as an assistant coach for the Wildcats, Melissa Estrada followed head coach Cathy Klein from Iowa State and has been playing a key role in the efforts to revive the Arizona soccer program.
Estrada works with first-year assistant coach Yvette Valdez in the UA's recruiting efforts, player academics and on-field instruction.
Estrada was part of Klein's staff for four years at Iowa State and was critical in the development of that program. She organized the ISU soccer program's day-to-day operations, was the individual trainer for all field players and coordinated the Cyclones' community service program.
Prior to Iowa State, Estrada posted a stellar collegiate career. The San Diego, Calif., native was a four-year starter at Creighton, finishing third on the all-time scoring list with 15 goals and 10 assists (40 points).
During her senior season, Estrada was a starting midfielder for Cathy Klein's team that earned a 14-4-0 mark. She earned her degree in Spanish from Creighton in 1995.
As a prep, Estrada was named the California Interscholastic Federation Player of the Year in 1990 while playing for San Dieguito High School. She was a two-time first-team All-Palomar League choice and a first-team All-CIF selection.
The two-time high school MVP was twice a member of the California South State Team. Following her prep career, she was honored as the San Dieguito Surf Soccer Club Player of the 80s.

Healthy Corner Stores - Cincinnati
This partnership between CDC and the Center for Closing the Health Gap, a non-profit based in Avondale. The CDC is providing technical services to help meet the goals of bolstering the capacity of existing corner stores to provide more healthy food, spicificly fresh produce. Parellel to the architectural updates to the corner stores, the program also promotes the advantages of healthy eating to neighborhood residents. The program plans to include more than a dozen stores over a three year period with capital financing provided by the City of Cincinnati Fresh Food Financing Initiative.
Rothenberg Academy in OTR Rooftop Teaching Garden
The rooftop teaching garden combines two ongoing interests of the CDC, the OTR neighborhood and food based community development. Stemming from the vision of Pope Colman, boardmember of the the Over-the-Rhine (OTR) Foundation, the Community Design Center (CDC) collaborated with Pope and the OTR Foundation to make the rooftop teaching garden vision into a reality.The CDC provided technical services and renderings to make this project a reality and the project was constructed in the summer of 2013.

Marlins order a Big Mac
If the Marlins still aren't sold on whether Dallas McPherson should be a part of their 2009 infield, he has another month to prove himself.
McPherson will join the club Tuesday along with Robert Andino and Frankie De La Cruz. Andino and De La Cruz already have spent time with the big league club, but for McPherson his Marlins debut will be his first game in the majors since Oct. 1, 2006.
McPherson missed all of 2007 after undergoing back surgery. His bid to make the Marlins out of spring training never got off the ground because of some minor injuries, but he stayed healthy for the Isotopes and led the minors with 42 homers. He also was among the league leaders in strikeouts (168).
Always thought McPherson was an intriguing guy. He was a touted prospect in the Angels system until injuries derailed his minor league progression. The Marlins can do without the strikeouts, but if he can reach base in the majors at the same rate he did with the 'Topes (.379) while providing 30-homer power, he'd be a nice fit.

Re: Does FICO factor "Current Status" on closed accounts?
llecs wrote:
It certainly does. It doesn't matter when an account was marked closed, any late showing will impact the FICO score. For example, let's say you have a CC and for whatever reason the lender closes the account. Maybe they went out of business. Maybe there was some derogs reporting which influenced their decision, or whatever. Anyway, they close it and you're on-time up to that point but there's a balance remaining you're paying on. Let's say you pay it late going forward a year after it's closed. If you're late 30 days, FICO will score that 30-day late even though the date of closure was a year prior. The status will update to something like "Was 30 days late" or something like that after bringing the account current again. The worst delinquency is 30 days and FICO will score accordingly.
Thanks for clarifying; that's exactly what I needed to know.

We are using demand management and MRP to create purchase requisitions for external procurement. It works fine and creates purchase requisitions based on the monthly demand entered in MD61. However, if I have a purchase order with a delivery date of a few months in the future, MRP always asks me to reschedule the order to meet current demand. i.e. it reduces the quantity on a requisition because it expects the rescheduled PO to meet the demand. In addition, it creates a requisition for the full demand a few months out, even though I have a PO delivery on that date (as it expects me to move the PO to the current date) See example below
Does anyone how to get MRP to treat a PO delivery date as fixed or firmed and create requisitions based on this?
We are using MRP type PD, a planning strategy that looks only at LSF in demand management and KSL in SD requirements.
Current Stock: 500 KG
Safety Stock Level: 1000 KG
Aug: 1500
Sep: 2000
Oct: 3000
PO del date 01.10.08 : 750 KG
When I run MRP it proposes the following
01.08.08 Requisition: 1250 KG. Aug demand (1500) + deficit below safety stock (500) = 2000 less PO that it is saying I should move to July (750). (I want this qty to be 2000)
01.09.08 Requisition: 2000 KG. Sep demand (2000) - OK
01.10.08 Requisition: 3000 KG. Oct demand (3000). Doesnu2019t look at PO dated 01.10 at all. (I want this qty to be 2,250)
rescheduling horizon days fixes this.

Wyoming is a long way from South Africa, the World Cup, and any ocean. Still, word has trickled down regarding the faraway relationship between a country, a competition, and a creature. Along the way, this news has created curiosity, expanded athletic horizons, and tickled a few funny bones.
In light of the historical racial struggles in South Africa, people of Wyoming should feel blessed to live be in a state that has a reputation for the advancement of minorities. It was, after all, the Equality State that first offered poll booths to its fairer gender and did so years before the rest of America, let alone the world, followed the lead of this secluded state.
Wyoming's relative isolation could not shield its population from the hype and drama of the World Cup being played in South Africa. Local newspapers, radio, television, and the Internet combined to keep citizens informed about the endurance of Spain versus the field and its eventual championship victory over the pesky team the Netherlands.
Yet, it seems to be the ocean that recently supplied Wyomingites with a most unique topic of conversation that could be heard and overheard in restaurants, truck stops, and saloons. Well, to be totally accurate, the ocean merely supplied that topic of conversation in a "roots" sense, since it is from the sea that the biggest sideshow of the World Cup came.
During Cup play most people scoured rosters to find soccer notables, or scanned the stands to spot famous fans in attendance, such as Nelson Mandela. Many in the Cowboy State discovered a fascination in cephalopod mollusk form, or as it is more commonly known, an octopus. The eight-legged animal in question here is Paul, a resident of the Sea Life Centre in Oberhausen, Germany.
While most Wyoming sport's fans know that Spain won the World Cup, the majority could not name a player from the roster of either team that competed in the finals. Many, however, have heard of Paul and come to recognize him as the critter of acclaim who outdid Las Vegas in picking World Cup match winners.
For those who may not have heard, Paul correctly predicted the winners of all eight World Cup matches he was "asked" about. As a "German" octopus, Paul even went against the grain to pick Spain against his homeland, angering many German soccer fans. The anger turned to rage after the match bore out Paul's prediction and irate German fans threatened to eat Paul the traitor, proving that the grow-it-then-eat-it mentality prevalent in Wyoming is indeed universal.
It is yet unclear whether the vast coverage of World Cup soccer will have a lasting impact on the sport's popularity in the Rocky Mountain west, but it is likely that reactions to Paul's unique talent have already been felt in rural communities. A great many horses, bulls, cows, and calves across Wyoming must have been eyed by ranchers and farmers in the wake of Paul's prowess, and asked, "Why can't you do that?"
Wyoming may be a good piece removed from South Africa and the recent World Cup, yet the eerie abilities-and tentacles- of a soothsaying octopus were able to reach across the state's borders. Perhaps, then, that makes Paul was the biggest hero of the 2010 World Cup.

I've been off the blog-wagon for the past few weeks, and am now on the band-wagon to spread the word about the benefits of Kinesiology and Touch for Health! To continue my education in Mind-Body wellness - I've enrolled in a series of workshops this year to learn muscle testing and body balancing techniques, that I hoped to incorporate into my Pilates teaching. Little did I know what new realm of knowledge I was about to step into…
It wasn't until I was actually at my Touch For Health workshop in January, that I learned TFH was developed for the lay person to learn for self wellness, and to be able to help friends & family. This system of muscle testing and balancing the body is relatively easy to learn.
Here's a link if you're interested in purchasing the Touch for Health book.
Then, to add to the wealth of information I learned at my Touch for Health workshop….I recently returned from a 2-week intensive for PKP Kinesiology (Practitioner's Kinesiology Program) taught by Arlene Green and the U.S. Kinesiology Institute. WOW! This system of energy balance is so comprehensive! I am awed, amazed, and grateful for my learning experience. The PKP system was developed by Dr. Bruce Dewe, he describes Kinesiology as the science of energy balancing. Below is a bit more info from Dr. Dewe explaining the benefits of Kinesiology for health.
"Kinesiology is the most holistic of all the natural therapies and, like traditional Maori medicine, recognizes the importance of body, mind and spirit in health and healing.
Kinesiology enables people to detect and correct imbalances that relate to stress, nutrition, learning problems, minor injuries, and other issues they meet in their daily life. A non-invasive method, Kinesiology is grounded in the study of anatomy and physiology and uses muscles as monitors of stress and imbalance within the body.
A fundamental premise of kinesiology is that the body has innate healing energy and is always doing its best to care for itself, but sometimes needs to be helped into a better position to achieve this care.
Kinesiology recognizes the flows of energy within the body not only relate to the muscles but to every tissue and organ that make the body a living, feeling being. These energy flows can be evaluated by testing the function of the muscles, which in turn reflect the body's overall state of structural, chemical, or emotional balance. In this way Kinesiology taps into energies that the more conventional modalities overlook.
Kinesiology looks beyond symptoms and does not treat named diseases nor does it diagnose them. Kinesiology is concerned with imbalances in the body's energy. In this respect, kinesiology has close links with the acupuncture concept of energy flow.
Where, as the result of injury, emotional trauma, nutritional or other unresolved stress, the energy flow is interrupted, the whole body is affected. The exact nature of blockage in the energy flow can be more closely identified by muscle testing. Acupressure massage, light touch and other simple correction skills are used to restore muscle balance, which has a flow-on effect into total body energy.
Kinesiology is not limited to dealing with ailments. Energy balancing brings a person closer to achieving any goal of their choice - in sport, relationships, learning or coping with life generally."
Dr Bruce Dewe MD NZRK MICAK 1997

I am so excited about this stuff! Looking forward to gaining experience with my new Touch for Health, and PKP skills. Just like learning to teach Pilates - it's going to take practice! And lots of it! I will keep you posted on my my journey to proficiency and health-improvement.

Red Castle in Tulsa.
I'd been to it a few times before, most recently with some older guys who trained there regularly.
I finally decided to sign up- it just made good sense, since I've got about trunkful (if that a word?) of guns and love to shoot, and the place is just ten miles from my front door. It also has a wide variety of ranges, where you can shoot a variety of targets.
It also beats driving 25+ miles and paying $ 10.00 for bullseye-only, slow fire only, etc., which was where I was going, when I could get the time.
I'm glad I did. I can go shoot almost anytime. I went twice this weekend, and took the wife, too.
Yesterday I shot up 500 rounds of .45. I've got 12,000 rounds of 7.62 X 54 and 12 Mosins that are just SCREAMING at me.....
I see a bright future:smile:

Breaking news - all Colorado based Amazon.com affiliates received a distressing e-mail this morning and that was their affiliate accounts had been closed due to a new law the Coloardo Legislature just passed.
The e-mail Amazon.com sent out was this:
"Dear Colorado-based Amazon Associate:
We are writing from the Amazon Associates Program to inform you that the Colorado government recently enacted a law to impose sales tax regulations on online retailers. The regulations are burdensome and no other state has similar rules. The new regulations do not require online retailers to collect sales tax. Instead, they are clearly intended to increase the compliance burden to a point where online retailers will be induced to "voluntarily" collect Colorado sales tax -- a course we won't take.
We and many others strongly opposed this legislation, known as HB 10-1193 , but it was enacted anyway. Regrettably, as a result of the new law, we have decided to stop advertising through Associates based in Colorado. We plan to continue to sell to Colorado residents, however, and will advertise through other channels, including through Associates based in other states.
There is a right way for Colorado to pursue its revenue goals, but this new law is a wrong way. As we repeatedly communicated to Colorado legislators, including those who sponsored and supported the new law, we are not opposed to collecting sales tax within a constitutionally-permissible system applied even-handedly. The US Supreme Court has defined what would be constitutional, and if Colorado would repeal the current law or follow the constitutional approach to collection, we would welcome the opportunity to reinstate Colorado-based Associates.
You may express your views of Colorado's new law to members of the General Assembly and to Governor Ritter, who signed the bill.
Your Associates account has been closed as of March 8, 2010, and we will no longer pay advertising fees for customers you refer to Amazon.com after that date. Please be assured that all qualifying advertising fees earned prior to March 8, 2010, will be processed and paid in accordance with our regular payment schedule. Based on your account closure date of March 8, any final payments will be paid by May 31, 2010.
We have enjoyed working with you and other Colorado-based participants in the Amazon Associates Program, and wish you all the best in your future.
Best Regards, The Amazon Associates Team"
The intent of the law had to have been to create more revenue for Colorado, but what it did, in effect is close down thousands of income streams coming into Colorado by having Amazon.com stop allowing Colorado based affiliates to profit from their referrals. The major online retailers, instead of cooperating with the new law, have found a way around it. The thousands of affiliates who use the Internet to supplement their income - in effect - just got fired, through no fault of their own.
So, Colorado never gained the sales tax revenue and now has lost income tax revenue, because thousands of streams of income has been lost. The original intent of this new law may have been good for Colorado, but the reality of the situation is that this bill has cost Colorado thousands and thousands of dollars, damaged many small businesses, and failed the tax payers totally. More online retailers, such as Overstock.com have also threatened to eliminate Colorado based affiliates as well. This is going to have enormously terrible cascading effects on the Colorado economy.
It is a very sad day for entrepreneurs in Colorado.

If Adam Scott's first three rounds of the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Club this week were compared to a Walt Disney World vacation, it might go something like this.
Thursday's opening round 62 would have been a ride on the "Rock 'n Roller Coaster" at Hollywood Studios, blasting out of the gate, on target all day. Friday's 68 was more like a ride on the "Tomorrowland Speedway," in the groove nearly all the way. Today? He strapped in for the thrilling ups and downs of the "Tower of Terror," recording five birdies and four bogeys for a 71.
Tomorrow, the Australian is hoping for a smooth, feel-good journey on "it's a small world."
Scott, who is dealing with a sore throat, will carry a three-shot lead into Sunday's final round. If he hangs on to win his first Arnold Palmer Invitational title, he will probably thank back to his final stroke on Saturday.
After placing his approach on 18 about 20 feet above the hole, he raced his birdie putt seven feet past. Had he missed the comebacker, it would have been his third straight bogey on the tough finishing hole, and his second three-putt of the day.
"I'd missed two putts of shorter length on the back nine already," said Scott. "To miss another one would not have been good going into tomorrow."
Instead he calmly rolled the putt into the center of the cup.
Scott will be paired with Keegan Bradley, who birdied six holes on the back nine, including the final three, to shoot 66, equaling the low round of the day. His 12-under-par total is one better than Matt Every (66) and Jason Kokrak (67).
Like Scott, the current Masters champion, Bradley is a major championship winner (2011 PGA). A friend passed along a putting tip recently that played a big role in today's surge.
"He just said to relax over the putt, and see it like you're a little kid, and that's what I've been doing," said Bradley, who has only one top 10 finish this year.
Final round tee times begin Sunday at 7:55 a.m. The final pairing of Scott and Bradley will tee off at 1:55 p.m.

My clients recently got an optional assignment. Those who have been struggling with weight loss plateaus often have a habit of cleaning their plates, even if that only means a one or two bite change in the amount they eat. That one or two bites can make the difference between weight loss and weight maintenance. So together, we embarked on a fun challenge: The Leave A Few Bites Challenge.
You don't have to throw it out. You can put it back in the fridge. But break that habit of always having a clean plate at the end of the meal. Simple. Check out some of the evidence my awesome clients submitted in the last few days:
And guess what happened? The people who dove into this challenge as a fun exercise almost ALL busted their plateau and lost weight last week. (If you haven't noticed, the week between Christmas and New Yrs isn't exactly the easiest time to slim down, either.) So what does it take to shed pounds that don't seem to want to go anywhere? Good habits, small intelligent steps, with a supportive community and coach to cheer you on. Not gargantuan suffering and sacrifice. These ladies are proof!
I bet you can do it too.
And just to demonstrate the way to make it easiest, put something on your plate that's not too appealing, so it won't stress you out as much to not eat it. Cold leftovers or raw vegetables work great for this. And remember you don't have to throw the food out, although it can be a liberating step to take, if you aren't ready to pitch your last few bites, just put them back in the fridge to have at another time. After all, eating after you're satisfied is wasting food anyway.
So are you in? Want to revoke you Clean Plate Club membership? Would you practice it today?

Whether it's fake checks, bogus products and services, or identity theft, it seems as if there's always someone out there trying to make suckers out of us. In the first six months of 2010, scams reported to the fraud center at the National Consumers League cost victims an average of $810.
It's not always easy to spot a scam, even for savvy consumers. That's why you should always be vigilant and take general precautions. Here are some common schemes.
Say you find a really great deal on a digital camera at an online retailer. But shortly after placing your order, you get a phone call from a company representative trying to sell you extra lenses, a fancy case, and other pricey add-ons. You refuse the high-pressure sales pitch, and later you're notified that the camera is no longer in stock. Or it never arrives.
Nonexistent or misrepresented merchandise on the Internet was the fraud center's top complaint in the first half of 2010, with an average loss of $931. That doesn't include fraud involving online auctions, which ranked eighth.
Check out sellers you're unfamiliar with before buying anything from them. To start, find out whether a company has a report and rating with the Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org).
If you're victimized after paying with cash or by check, you could be out of luck. So use a credit card, especially when buying online or over the phone. If the order doesn't arrive, you can challenge the purchase under federal credit-card rules. Debit-card purchases offer less protection, although some banks voluntarily provide additional safeguards.
Incidentally, to reduce the risk of unauthorized charges, you might want to consider using a temporary "virtual" or "online" credit-card number, if your bank offers one, for purchases on the Web. In most cases you can request one on the issuer's website. Citibank offers virtual-card software you can install on your computer. You can limit the time the virtual number is active and the maximum amount that can be charged.
These schemes come under many guises. Bogus checks can be used to pay for something you're selling, such as a used car. Or someone might contact you about a "work at home" opportunity or sweepstakes that you supposedly won. He or she might use a fake check to pay you, with instructions to deposit it and then wire a portion of the proceeds to another party, perhaps to pay "required" fees or taxes. In many cases, these scams involve what appear to be certified or bank checks—but that's no guarantee that they're legitimate. If you deposit or cash a phony check at your bank, it will bounce and your bank will come after you to settle up.
Fake check fraud was the National Consumers League's top scam in 2009; it's now No. 2, representing one in four of the complaint reports that the group receives. The trick costs victims an average of $371.
Before depositing a check from an unfamiliar source, check with the institution whose name appears on it. And because the bank's contact information on the check could belong to the scammer, search for the institution's phone number and address separately.
Scammers use e-mail messages, phone calls, and other ways to trick people into revealing their passwords, credit-card and Social Security numbers, and other personal information they can use to steal identities, open credit lines, and the like.
Don't respond to e-mail messages or phone calls asking for your passwords or other personal information, no matter how urgent the appeal. Instead, contact your bank or other party to see if it made the request. Don't click on hyperlinks you receive in e-mail messages, and carefully type web addresses into your browser to avoid typos. Scammers sometimes set up bogus sites using common misspellings of legitimate web addresses, a practice known as "typosquatting."
Keep your computer's antivirus and antiphishing software up-to-date. And consider using a browser plug-in, such the free McAfee SiteAdvisor (www.siteadvisor.com), which warns about phishing websites and those that transmit viruses.
This one comes as a call from a family member, perhaps someone who identifies himself as your grandson, saying he needs help. The story might be that he was in an accident or arrested while traveling outside the country and needs you to wire emergency money, often to Canada. Such calls have cost victims thousands of dollars.
Don't give money to anyone without verifying his or her identity. If you get a call from a friend or relative asking for help, politely hang up and call the person's home or cell-phone number to find out if they made the call and the emergency is real. You can also call relatives to help determine that the call is legit.
These vacation offers can often be found at fairs and trade shows, or they might come in unsolicited phone calls, faxes, e-mail, or postcards. They're often used to entice you to attend sales promotions, say, for a vacation time-share. But some are simply stand-alone offers for trips. Despite the hype, the vacations are usually anything but free or even bargain-priced.
After attending the sales pitch, you might find that you're ineligible for the promised trip because you didn't comply with hidden or hard-to-understand terms and conditions. Available travel dates might be limited and accommodations awful unless you pay for upgrades.
Forget about this type of vacation. If a business has to offer free trips to generate interest, its products or services probably aren't worth considering.
After buying a product or service, you find that you're being charged for something you never meant to order. Maybe it's rustproofing for a new car at a dealership, or a club membership or subscription.
Details about extras might be buried in a contract or a website's fine print. Some companies pass credit-card information to third-parties who are ready to charge the minute customers click an "OK" button online or unknowingly give consent.
Read everything carefully before you sign or click. Question anything that's unclear, and don't proceed until you're satisfied with the answers.
It could come as e-mail or a phone call urging you to help some cause that might be in the news or tugs at your heartstrings. Some charities are outright frauds; others do little, if anything, to help a cause.
Don't respond immediately to a solicitation. Instead, check out the group with the major charity watchdogs: the American Institute of Philanthropy (www.charitywatch.org); the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance (www.give.org); and the Charity Navigator (www.charitynavigator.org). And make sure you're dealing with the right group. Many con artists use names similar to legitimate charities. For local groups that don't appear on watchdog reports, ask the charity for further information, or donate through a local fundraising federation, such as the United Way, that screens groups.
If you want to help during an emergency, such as a flood or famine, stick with major established charities such as the Red Cross. Charity watchdogs often post names of legitimate groups that help victims.
Scammers are always ready to strike after reports of promising dietary supplements and other "medical breakthroughs" hit the news. Websites spring up overnight hawking products—acai berry supplements, for example—even though there's scant evidence of their benefits. The sites might feature celebrity "experts" or phony "reader" comments. Many offer free trials in order to get your credit- or debit-card number and then enroll you in ongoing fee-based programs.
Buy health products only from companies you know and trust. Double-check the terms and conditions if you're signing up for a free trial that requires you to give payment information.
Who doesn't want to win a big prize? But if you respond to mail declaring that you're a finalist, or even a winner, the only ones who'll be stuffing their pockets will be the scammers who sent it to you.
Many of these mailings or prize-related phone calls imply that buying something increases your chances of winning. In another variation, you might be told that you have to mail an advance payment to cover taxes, shipping and handling, or other incidental costs of processing or delivering your fabulous prize. Of course, you'll get nothing in return.
By law, buying services or merchandise can't increase your odds of winning a sweepstakes. Just saying no if you're asked to respond to a prize or sweepstakes promotion will increase your odds—of not getting ripped off.
This one involves companies promising to get you a loan or credit card even if you have bad credit. But after paying the required fee, you might not hear from the company again, or you might be offered a debit or stored-value card. Such offers appear in ads or on websites run by companies that engage in this type of "service." It's illegal for a company doing business by phone to promise a loan and require a fee before it's delivered.
Avoid companies that promise to get you a loan but don't seem interested in your credit history, the Federal Trade Commission warns. And never pay an advance fee for a loan, even if it's for "insurance," "processing," or "paperwork."

"Thief: The Deluxe Edition"
Soundtrack Album Review
Additional Music By Craig Safan
Perseverance Records
9 Tracks/Disc Time: 47:06
Grade: A- (BEST OF 2014)
1981's "Thief" is one of those special films in that the way it was filmed, written and produced by the great Michael Mann, who prior to this was one of the writers for the brilliant and underrated Dustin Hoffman crime-drama, "Straight Time" in 1978. Adapting Frank Hohimer's novel "The Home Invaders" for the big screen, Mann cast the rugged Oscar nominee James Caan ("The Godfather") as Frank, a hardened and professional B&E thief always looking for the solid score that would pay out handsomely. Aided by his friend and partner, Barry (James Belushi, "According To Jim"), Frank seems to have the perfect legitimate world around Chicago owning legitimate businesses and now has a wife in Jessie (Tuesday Weld, "Falling Down") who accepts his faults and temperment as he envisions in a paper collage of pictures he always carries for his own vision of happiness. Things start to turndown hill when a mobster named Leo (Robert Prosky, "Last Action Hero") offers Frank and Barry a major score in California involving over a million dollars in diamonds. In the process, Frank unwittingly has sold out the freedom and American dream he has built to the ruthless mobster which leads to a memorable finale to the film that one of the best of the 1980's. The film was released earlier this year as part of the great Criterion Collection catalog of films that are worthy of high class attention and "Thief" was definitely that was one that was long overdue and truly worthy of its honor.
With Mann showing off what would be his polished and attentive direction on screen backed by a powerhouse performance by Caan, the musical score in the film also played a major part of driving the story as well as setting up both the thrill and suspense of each chase, heist and violent confrontations in the film. Tangerine Dream would end up with the plumb assignment bring this criminal underworld to life and were the perfect choice to create Frank's world and everything that surrounded it. The group from Berlin were one of the most popular and original groups of the 70's and throughout the 80's and wrote the unforgettable score to William Friedkin's intense action-thriller "Sorcerer", in which Friedkin was quoted as saying that "had he discovered them earlier, they would've scored "The Exorcist" which how highly he thought of his score for the film. The group would go on to score Mann's next film, "The Keep" writing another unforgettable score in which fans of the group as well as soundtrack afficionados have been wanting for decades. They would also score the blockbuster hit film, "Risky Business" starring superstar Tom Cruise as well as "Legend" which also starred Cruise along with some very solid films such as "The Park Is Mine", "Flashpoint", "The Soldier" and "Near Dark".
The score is mostly improvised, but it has a great musical texture as well as structure that is pulsing with energy and moods. A score driven by the intensity of the film which is clearly defined with each unique note that isn't wasted. "Beach Theme" opens the album which in fact is actually the film's "End Credits" a wonderful piece that is memorable and surprisingly melodic with upbeat synthesizer tempos emphasizing Frank's success during the film's lightest scene where everyone is having a good time at the beach which gets an even longer version in "Beach Scene" which in the film plays out beautifully with Mann's sunny visuals. The heist sequences which are exceptionally executed by Mann's direction inspired TD to write a long and lengthy that developed the films opening sequence from the break-in to the final reward ("Diamond Diary") plusing precision and beat for beat with each burn and torch which also plays out in the track "Burning Bar". TD also goes full throttle with the action-suspense scenes with memorable material in "Scrap Yard", "Trap Feeling", and "Dr. Destructo". The best of this bunch to me is easily "Igneous", which plays out in the unforgettable prelude to the films' final and violent confrontation as Frank is destroying the world he's built that his been stolen from him. Each note hammering home Frank's silent rage with each mood and synthesizer sequence propelling him to do so. As with all of Michael Mann's films, he often enlists other composers or pre-recorded music to add another level or dimension to the score as it has established the mood of the film. In this case we have the excellent Craig Safan underscoring the films' unforgettable finale "Confrontation" a lengthy five minute track that fits in with everything that Tangerine Dream had already established up to that point and Safan's cue is memorable in its own right with a rock oriented approach combined with an orchestra that is pretty close to TD and makes it his own that has a very strong presence and character.
Perseverance Records' latest release of the album is the definitive release of the score that features every cue of the score available to the public that has made off the original 1981 Elektra Records album as well as the subsequent Virgin Records and Wounded Bird releases later on. This a wonderful presentation of the score that is definitive as previous releases either dropped one track or replaced one with another which caused all sorts of confusion and to double dip to get all of the music on both record and CD later on to get it all. Great packaging and everything this is a great release for the label that truly deserves it despite some turbulent times in the past and now enjoying great success and hopefully continue to in the future. This release is what makes the label special and as long as they keep releasing great releases/reissues such as this one, Perseverance will always be a player. "Thief" is a special score for a brilliant film and gets the highest recommendation I could give it. Thumbs way way up!
Postscript: On a sad note, well at least for me personally. This will be the last release I will review for the label since I'm currently not receiving any copies of their albums (Sorry, folks I'm bummed too and I've done my best to get word about it. I was looking forward to their future projects including a great one in the end and I hate having to write this). I had to make a special personal exception in buying this CD personally from Best Buy.com because this is a review that I just had to do and to get done because the music is that great while the film was still fresh in my mind after viewing it on Criterion's great Blu-Ray release along with the fact that it's one of Tangerine Dream's brilliant achievements. That aside, it was a pleasure to do the work for them as well as I did and I'm happy that I was able to contribute to their success in some way. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here right now writing this. If anything changes, I will happily do an update. Till then....the balcony is closed. *Tears*

This question already has an answer here:
Let $S_n$ represent its partial sum, and let $s$ represent its value. Prove that $s$ is finite and find and an $n$ so large that $S_n$ approximates s to 3 decimal places. $$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\left(\frac{k}{k+1}\right)^{k^2}$$
Solution we use root test i think. But how to calculate this? Thanks.

That's how the American Road & Transportation Builders Association suggests the nation comes up with the $20 billion in additional annual funds necessary to maintain roads until SAFETEA-LU expires in September 2009.
Representatives unanimously approved a bill that allows states to bar or regulate municipal solid waste imported from other countries. H.R. 518 is a bipartisan bill sponsored by Michigan Congressmen Mike Rogers and John Dingell, whose state takes in nearly 4 million tons of foreign solid waste—mostly from Canada—annually.
Results of an online survey by software company Arsenault Associates reflected the top five issues that concern fleet managers:
A total of 200 respondents, all users of the company's Dossier fleet-maintenance software, responded to the survey.
The second edition of Waste Containment Facilities covers the latest technical developments in test methods, specifications, and practices for engineers and managers involved in designing, building, permitting, and operating solid waste facilities. Visit www.asce.org for more information.
The U.S. EPA has updated its Better Assessment Science Integrating Point and Nonpoint Sources (BASINS) watershed management program to run on free, open-source geographic information system software. BASINS 4.0 includes point and non-point source data for users to assess or predict flow and water quality for selected streams and entire watersheds. Visit www.epa.gov/waterscience/basins.
A failing slope beside U.S. Highway 61 on the outskirts of Vicksburg, Miss., had caused more than its share of headaches. Innovative application of geotechnical technology has stemmed the tide of dirt, putting an end to the threat of destructive and disruptive landslides.
Contractors installed more than 250 buried anchor blocks to stabilize the slope, which spans 1300 feet along Signal Hill. Due to the size and depth of the below-surface slide plane, the $6 million project lasted 10 months. But it was worth it: The design garnered the 2007 Grand Conceptor Award from the state's chapter of the American Council of Engineering Companies.
When the roadway was completed 30 years ago, the Mississippi DOT recognized a potential for landslide activity at the site. Crews installed a berm, and a trench drain helped remove water collecting under the roadbed, but it continued to sink incrementally over time, and more rapidly during wet weather.

About Sateesh Malla
My Interest in the digital arts began in the mid nineties, mostly as a hobby. At the time, a few notable programs (like Bryce 3D and Poser) essentially became cornerstones in shaping my future. I have an undergraduate degree in computer science and worked in that field for over 5 years. All this while however, I've held a keen interest in the arts, by way of photography and secondly through web/graphic design. Quite recently though, it dawned on me that this was my true calling and passion. Most important of all, I knew it would allow for artistic expression that simply wasn't possible at all in my previous career.
At present, I am completing a master's degree in Visual Effects and Animation at the Academy of Art, San Francisco. My emphasis within the program is particle effects (a marriage of sorts between programming and art). My secondary interests are Texture and Lighting as well. So far, the shift has been an enormous challenge and a huge undertaking to say the least, but I am loving every minute of it. You can see my current work in the portfolio section.
In my spare time, I enjoy traveling whenever possible and experiment with Photography during these trips. I have a wide taste, but prefer Nature and Abstract photography for the most part. I'm also an avid hiker and runner. The great thing about San Francisco is the variety of places it offers, accommodating even the most adventurous types. The bay area and the surroundings are a great source of inspiration for artists and non-artists alike.

Notes & Reviews:
A brilliant little overture, "To the Point," by Pulitzer Prize winner Jennifer Higdon opens this varied and intriguing new release by Philadelphia's award-winning ensemble, Orchestra 2001. The ensemble, founded in 1988, continues to provide a major focus on the best new music of our time. "Orchestra 2001 occupies a place of such importance that a classical music community without it seems unimaginable" (Peter Dobrin, The Philadelphia Inquirer).
