Section 7: Values About Foreign Policy and Terrorism
For two decades, the public has consistently favored focusing more attention on domestic problems, and less on overseas concerns. At the same time, it has expressed robust support for an active approach to world affairs. The new survey finds most Americans continuing to hold both points of view.

Considering the growing multitude of planets and moons that have been discovered in the last few years, scientists are rapidly exploring the limits of variables necessary for life to develop on other worlds. Christopher P. McKay from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Ames Research Center has made an exhaustive study of the requirements for life to exist on other planets. The study was published in the June 9, 2014, edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
McKay based his requirements for life on other worlds on the extremes of life on Earth. The assumption is that life on other worlds would have evolved similarly to life on Earth. The extreme conditions that some organisms exist in and thrive in on Earth may set the limits for life on other planets and serve as guidelines to best use available resources in the search for extraterrestrial life.
No one is seriously expecting to find "little green men" on any newly found planet. The most probable first discovery of life on other planets would be a bacteria or a microbe. Many experts have proposed that life will be found on another planet within the next twenty years. The majority of people living today will be the first to deal with the religious, social, and political ramifications of finding life on another planet.
The most probable limits for life on another planet are the limitations of temperature, atmospheric pressure, availability of water, availability of oxygen, availability of nitrogen for photosynthesis, and the type of radiation. Temperature limits are between five degrees Fahrenheit and 252 degrees Fahrenheit. Atmospheric pressure ranges from near zero to a maximum of 1,100 atmospheres.
Even a minimal amount of water could support life. One-tenth of an atmosphere of oxygen is needed to maintain life. A minimum of one to five thousandths of an atmosphere of nitrogen is needed for photosynthesis. Light that is one-hundred-thousandth of the Sun's light can support life. Many life forms on Earth can live without any ultraviolet protection.

Hoolahoop is a game of play a circle by using the waist. Hoolahoop looped into waist, and then played using wobble. This will make a rhythmic oscillation and in accordance with the movement circle. Calm, this time we will not tells about how to play Hoolahoop, but we will tell about a band with an Independent system or common known indie bands.
The word of "indie" is came from the word "independent" which has the meaning is freedom and independence. For more facilitate the work "independent" made more simple as "indie". Indie Band is an idealism in playing music, not music that is produced and heard in certain area. Many indie band even famous to out of their country. Indie band does not follow tastes and desires of most music listeners. They always survive with kind of their music. Most Indie Band believe, that will be there people who would can to accept their music. We should be ourselves, that most of the principles by Indie Band.
Bandung as a creative city has a lot of indie band. Indie band in Bandung has started since 1994. Pas Band is the first band to record their song in Independent. After Pas Band, more and more band which brings their music in indie, without help of the major labels. Indie Band in Bandung increasingly supported by the presence of media that supports their existence. Radio and media like myspace is a factor supporting to make success indie bands in Bandung.
Indie band is a symbol of freedom to play music for youth children and teenagers in our city, they could play music with their creativity, without regulated by demands of most listeners. Not regulated by the desire of others and they want to independent. Although they have a label, but labels it remains independent. Indie band recording and disseminate music their own. Even many Indie Band in Bandung distribute their songs for free.
One of Indie Band in Bandung is hoolahoop. Hoolahoop has existed since 1 May 2009. Though new, but they have attempted to produce great song. Enjoy role as a music player and not fixated of others song which been there is a major capital for them to produce a song. They are young, average age 19 years. At a young age but can creation is characteristics that many youth children in Bandung.
Hoolahoop consist of Yuda Dwidatama (Tama) as a drumer. Raden Riski (Riski) plays guitar as vocals as well. Reddy Handani (Reddy) play bass and backing vocals. Fadli Juliastia (Fadli) on guitar. Hoolahoop name's started when Tama, Riski and Reddy likes sports and play hoolahoop as well. First time, they think that they will easi play hoolahoop, but after trying, it was difficult. They can't play that. After they playing music, they felt suited for playing music. So they called their band with hoolahoop.
Hoolahoop have genre music which they call as indie rock. Indie rock first time appears in England and America on 1980 as one of the sub-genre of rockk music. Artists indie rock famous can put the setting and controls on their music and career. That has been hoolahoop owned, they are great musicians in creation. But they do not hopes up their music be a career for them. Hoolahoop enjoy the process they create a song. It turns out the song that they produce also be accepted by society. They don't think that what is done, will achieve results like today. It turns out begins a hobby music and enjoy music has produced a different matter to their lives.
Formation of hoolahoop because there was the chemistry between personnel. Tama and Riski are friends since the park childhood, they was known each other, their personal even been regarded as a family. When moving adolescents, Riski met with Reddy and became friends when in junior high school. Tama and Fadli met when their school in SMA N 14 Bandung, which presenting fourteenagers some time ago. Initially hoolahoop only project for them. They have band each. Reddy and Riski play with their band of Fairy Traince, but now their band rarely performance. While Tama playing with band Lovely Lolita. Although each had a band but didn't reduce their attention towards hoolahoop.
Raden Riski born from a family of musicians. If you are music lovers in Bandung, certainly you remember name Deddy Hasan. He is one of personnel Katara Singer. Katara Singer was formed in 1987, consist of Ratna Oktaviani Sumantri (Nana), Farika Laksanawati (Rika), Andre Ronal Benito Hehanusa (Adre Hehanusa) dan Deddy Sumardi Hassan (Deddy). In 1989 Katara Singer released an album with titled "Ternyata", with producer Erwin Gutawa. Katara Singer had some hits single such as "Masa Bodo", "Ternyata", "Desah" and many more. Deddy Hasan is the father of Raden Riski player guitar and vocal of hoolahoop.
Ability to play music and hobbies Riski receive it from his father. Also coupled with the music has become a needs for his families, resulting in a Riski who so loved and enjoyed music. He had learned many musical instruments such as drums, piano, but when learn guitar he enjoy it. Guitar can distribute musical expression owned Riski. Likewise with Yuda Dwitama (Tama) he had learned guitar from his father and mother, but when playing drums he can enjoy it. To Tama had originally learned to play guitar, but because they feel less fit. He learned drum with the principle observe, copied and modified and can feel it. Not different with Reddy, he has studied guitar and taught himself since junior high school. Whereas Fadli already learning guitar since 4th Elementary School. He is thought hold the guitar it delicious, as hold your lady. It's four young children who already familiar with music since old.
When Psychology of The Sixth Sense "Pray For Indonesia" place on campus UPI on 13 November 2010 ago, we get interesting performance from hoolahoop. This is first performances for Fadli Julistia (Guitar), for previously time hoolahoop play three. Tama came with different appearances, sports apparel. It reminds to the origin of the name of hoolahoop, which derived from their hobby, sport.
"True Friends Will Always Be There" is their first song. The song was created together by hoolahoop's personnel. This song tell about cohesiveness and togetherness will be make easy to deal with storm though. They want convey, "a great friend will not leave when you get problem." In this song Tama plays drums with a lot cymbal and fast. The second song from hoolahoop titled "Selalu Ada Untukmu" this song creation Tama, beginning slowly and great play skill in the middle of the song. The song is about people love to the people in his around, such as partner, family, friends and others. Hoolahoop will always be there for them. Titled third song is "Sorry I Quit", we felt very near with this song. This is the first time for us, but we felt it was very near and we have made like ever hear it. It is like there is in our midst. Might because this song creation of our friend, Yuda Dwidatama.
Beginning excerpt of guitar combined with the beats of drum, song "Perjalanan Terindah" sounded delicious. Suddenly sound of guitar came much, combined with great vocals. Tama playing drum with a blend of punches, so not produce monotonous sound. This is last song from hoolahoop, and song hits singles of them as well. This song created of Aska "Rocket Rockers" as hoolahoop's producer as well. This is a song from 2005 year, but because more suited to hoolahoop, finally they sing this song. You can request this song on your favorite radio in Bandung.
In addition four songs that, still there some hoolahoop song which they prepared for their mini album. Let's we wait for mini album and the next creation from hoolahoop. Let's see and hear the creation of youth children Bandung.
Please listen to song from Hoolahoop in : myspace hoolahoop.

Rated 3 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by DuvalCrawler Great tasting iced tea This tea has a wonderful flavor - I never would have thought of mixing watermelon with mint before. I found, however, that in order to bring out the flavor, it needed to be steeped longer than the directions specified (or a second tea bag could be used). July 31, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Shea752 Barely Watermelon, Barely Mint I like my teas strong and fruity. I love cucumber watermelon drinks and thought this would be a good addition. I was wrong. I brewed 2 bags (2 quarts) and the result was weak (even weaker than the strawberry basil) I had to check to make sure I had used two tea bags and not one and I had. It didn't taste like black tea. It had a hint of watermelon and it smelled and tasted a bit like mint. Imagine 2 quarts of water with two mint leaves and a small slice of the wateriest watermelon (aka a pink one and not a RED melon) and this would be the result. I bought two canisters (16 bags) so I'll try brewing 3 bags for 2 quarts next time, but it's no longer worth the money if it takes 1.5 bags to make a quart. To those that like light teas (i.e. white peach teas) this is perfect, but I'm a southern girl so the stronger and sweeter, the better. May 19, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jet5657 Okay Tea Thought the combination of watermelon and mint would be a great summer flavor for iced tea. It wasn't as minty tasting as I had hoped it would be and can't really taste watermelon. It is a nice mild tea. I like tea so will drink it. July 31, 2013

A Fla. father, Bryan Adams, from Okeechobee County, is facing charges of child abuse, resisting arrest, and aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, after Okeechobee County Sheriff's deputies caught up with him in the Fla. woods last week where Adams was determined to punish his 11-year-old son - who the father was convinced was possessed by a demon.
According to an Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office report shared by WPBF on Jan. 23, Adams reportedly said to his son, "You are the demon and you know what I must do with you."
Responding to a complaint from Adams' estranged wife, police were able to find Adams and his son before any serious damage was done to the child. When deputies arrived on the scene, they said that the 11-year-old was dressed only in pajamas and a T-shirt.
When deputies tried to arrest Adams, he resisted and fought with them, running deeper into the woods and hiding in the brush, the report stated.
The Fla. dad wanted no part of the impending arrest. In their effort to take Adams into custody, deputies resorted to using a Taser and a K-9 officer.
The deputies' report stated that Adams "showed violent behavior, no compliance or showing of pain and abnormal strength."
Investigators said his estranged wife told them she had to leave him because of his serious drug abuse and addiction to crystal methamphetamine.
The police report also stated that Adams appeared at the workplace of his estranged wife prior to the incident in the woods. Adams wanted the keys to his wife's car. He also told her "he wanted to take possession of the children."
The wife told deputies that Adams said that he was seeing demons.
While hospitalized, Adams told deputies that he had taken some meth just before his arrest.
The 11-year-old son "suffered a minor injury to his heel but was otherwise OK."

Frank Introduces Bill to Concentrate Fed Power in DC
U.S. Rep. Barney Frank (D., Mass) Tuesday introduced a bill that would let interest rates be set only by Federal Reserve officials picked by the government, a new attempt to move power away from regional Fed officials chosen by the private sector.
The bill would remove from the 12-member policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee the five members who represent regional Fed banks. Only the seven-member board in Washington, which currently has two vacant seats, would get to vote on interest rates. The congressman said this would make the Fed more
democratic and increase "transparency and accountability on the FOMC" by eliminating those officials who are effectively picked by business executives. (Read the bill.)
Frank's bill faces significant hurdles to clear Congress, where Republicans are likely to resist centralizing Fed powers in Washington. There's also no similar proposal in the Senate yet. Frank, though an influential member of the House Financial Services Committee, is in the Democratic minority, reducing his ability to push legislation through the House.
Moreover, shifting more of the Fed's power to Washington was already tried as part of the regulatory overhaul that Congress approved in the aftermath of the 2008 and 2009 financial crisis. For example, a provision debated but dropped from the Dodd-Frank financial overhaul would have made the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the most influential of the 12 regional Fed banks, a White House appointment. Congress dropped that proposal after Fed and Obama administration officials opposed it.
The Dodd-Frank law, enacted in mid-2010, ended up with a provision that bars bankers from having a say in the selection of the regional Fed presidents, while keeping the decision of the board's composition in the hands of the private sector.
Analysts said Frank's new proposal could hurt the Fed's independence from Congress. Dan Greenhaus, analyst at Miller Tabak & Co., said the move is "one step closer to having monetary policy dictated by the Congress."
Each regional Fed bank has nine board members, comprised of three commercial bankers and six others representing business and the broader public. Under Dodd-Frank, selections of new Fed bank presidents will come from the six non-bank board members and the Fed board in Washington.
The board in Washington, which includes Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and Vice Chair Janet Yellen, is picked by the president and confirmed by the Senate.
"Setting interest rates…that's a public function. And the Federal regional presidents are picked by private citizens," Frank, the ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee, told CNBC. He added his legislation would benefit the Fed.
As chairman of the committee until last year, Frank defended the Fed from Republican attacks. He opposed a House attempt to subject the Fed's interest-rate decisions to regular audits by the Government Accountability Office, which is overseen by Congress.
Not letting regional Fed presidents have a say in monetary policy would be "tragic," Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City President Thomas Hoenig told reporters on Tuesday. The banks allow the public around the country to have an input on the Fed's decisions, he argued.
Ever since the Fed was created by Congress in 1913, the governance of the regional Fed banks has been an issue for policy makers. Back then, lawmakers battled over whether power in the central bank should reside in Washington, New York or other places, such as Midwest farm states, and whether it should reside with bankers or elected officials.

Thursday, February 21, 2012, in Milan, Italy, Just Cavalli presented an enriching, colorful runway show with Georgia May Jagger gracing the catwalk with her symmetrical refined beauty and lengthy limbs. The show was full of energy, vitality even with a minor hiccup.
A protestor jumped on stage with a sign with text reading "La Vostra Moda...Loro Morte." Google translates that loosely to "Your fashion...Their death."
The woman appeared to be protesting anti-fur and she was quickly escorted off the stage while the models, like professionals, continued to strut down the long runway.
The mild interruption did not disrupt the collections festive vibe or take away for the creative design that went into the fall collection which was full of animal prints, bold colors and obviously furs. Just Cavalli is the sister brand to Robert Cavalli's label and it impressed the eclectic and daring fashion crowd with sassy pieces that can highlight any outfit.
Fans of Just Cavalli can look forward to flossing electric blue leather pants, Chinese dragon print inspired tops, matching tiger print sweater with scarves as well as bright snakeskin printed dresses. The collection could be described as 'eastern eclectic.' It's sexy, bold and coming to your closets this fall.

Problem 0
I do not think it is an understatement to say that there are a great many problems facing the human race. As we have grown in numbers and intelligence we are still learning of all the things that could potentially wipe our species from planet earth permanently. We seem to create or at least uncover problems as fast as we solve them and even especially when we solve them.
So many problems seem impervious to solutions and so few solutions are tried for want of the money, the talent to attempt it that it can feel like an overwhelming tide that will suck you under if you let it.
There are many people who do not know where to find help with a problem facing them personally much less how do they help solve the hardest problems of war, poverty, slavery, oppression, disease, disaster, pollution and others that face us all. Add to this all the people who would love nothing more than contribute their lives toward making the world a better place who have only limited local outlets or resources and maybe not even those.
A problem which came up recently and got a lot of attention was "how do we stop an oil well kilometers under the ocean from leaking millions of liters of oil?" The solution to that problem turned out not to come from the experts, not from the oil industry, not from the government but from a plumber who preferred to remain anonymous. Through a tidal wave of (by at least one estimate which I believe is low) over 300,000 submissions to newspapers, news programs, government offices (federal and local), to BP, to anyone that might listen regardless of whether or not they would or did, this plumber was was able to contact someone who reviewed his solution and was able to pass it on to someone who could implement it. They did and It worked.
The designated experts were at a loss, the designated channels for communication and information were overwhelmed. Imagine how much faster we could solve problems if we were able to employ the talents, abilities, ideas and resources of everyone instead of just a designated few.
Given these kinds of emergencies and so many staggering, intractable issues to deal with on a global and personal level the question becomes, "How do we harness the collective abilities of humanity towards solving the problems that plague us?" I call this problem zero.
Solution 0
I have been interested for some time in the wisdom of crowds, emergent intelligence and how communities of all types are created and maintained online but how the ongoing spill was solved is what inspired me to define problem 0 and come up with a solution. That solution is WeSolver.
WeSolver is a way to allow and encourage anyone to:
submit problems, solutions and discuss them
start projects to implement solutions
contribute their talents, abilities, time, energy and resources toward solving problems
Hopefully people will find new connections and relationships between seemingly different problems and solutions inspiring experimentation and innovative solutions.
There will be many ways to participate in the site itself from creating, reading, promoting, linking, sharing and policing content. WeSolver will be open and transparent to everyone while respecting any individuals wish to remain anonymous should they so choose.
How can we possibly solve the many problems that face us as a species without using every available asset to do so? How can we leave this work in the hands of experts or governments or any other organization to solve on their own? It would be foolish to ignore the potential solutions which come when everyone is invited to participate.
The Future is Now
WeSolver is currently being created in the same spirit as its intended usage. The software itself will be open source so that anyone can contribute to improving and refining it.
Administratively it will be funded by donations rather than ad revenue as well as being staffed by the fewest people required to ensure it continues to exist and evolve over time. This will keep WeSolver focused on its purpose. It will be up to the people to keep it going if they find it worthwhile.

With the increased availability of real data for complex domains, it
is particularly appealing to automatically learn Bayesian network
structures that are sufficiently expressive but where inference is
still tractable. While the method of thin junction trees can, in
principle, be used for this purpose, its fully greedy nature makes it
somewhat prone to over-fitting, particularly when the data is sparse
and when the desired treewidth is not trivial.
In this talk I will present a novel method for efficiently learning Bayesian networks of bounded treewidth that employs global structure modifications. At the heart of our method is the idea of dynamically updating a triangulation in a way that facilitates the addition of optimal chain structures (with respect to some ordering) that are guaranteed to increase the treewidth bound of the model by at most one. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our "treewidth friendly" method on real-life datasets and show that it is superior to the greedy approach as soon as the bound on the treewidth is nontrivial. Importantly, we show that by employing global operators that are closer in spirit to those used by Chow and Liu for learning optimal trees, we are able to learn better networks even when the treewidth of the model is not bounded.

In the woods behind my high school, in the mall mens bathroom before the mall opened so at least they were clean, against a tree at a campground (will wear a shirt next time I do that, bark burn isn't fun).
Hood of my car. In the pool in my backyard. On my now ex husbands boss' desk. In the storeroom where I worked...
And I'm pretty sure I concieved my oldest daughter on the merry go round at the park behind my house (late at night, it was dark no kids around).
My 1st ex husband was an anywhere kind of guy and my 2nd ex husband was an only in the bedroom missionary kind of guy. Quite a change from 1 to 2. Current SO is somewhere in the middle :). Adventurous but not too risky.

Khaotica, I was dating a guy once and it was getting to the playing around stage of our relationship. We were watching a movie and I went down there with my hand... he was tiny. Not like size of my thumb tiny, but smaller than average. Backed off a bit and after the movie I was like, "well I'm tired, going to go to bed. See you later..."
And shortly after that I broke it off. I like them larger than average. I'll do average if he's got a really good toung ;).

Sears Holdings Corp. has taken a lot of heat during the past five years for the way it's handled the integration of the Lands' End apparel catalog brand. But the retailer seems to have found a strategy that works: the store-within-a-store.
After unveiling the concept in 2005, Sears now aims to double the number of Lands' End stores-within-a-store from 100 to 200 by the end of the current fiscal year.
Sears officials won't divulge financials, but top management is clearly on board with the strategy.
In a March 1, 2007, letter to shareholders, Sears chairman Edward S. Lampert said that the company "saw a significant improvement in the profit performance of Lands' End merchandise in our Sears stores. With a new leadership team and a more integrated approach to working across Sears Holdings, the business is moving in the right direction. Our customers are embracing the opportunity to buy Lands' End quality merchandise in our stores, on the phone, and on the Internet, and we are working hard to make Lands' End available across more of the chain."
The Lands' End shops measure about 10,000 sq. ft. and use navy blue signs and columns to create a look distinct from the rest of Sears. The shops also have a lounge area with a couch and a computer kiosk for ordering over the Internet, with an offer of free home shipping if the item isn't in the store.
"Lands' End is a very important brand for us here," says Sears spokesman Christian Brathwaite. "The idea is to enhance the customer experience and make it easy for customers to shop for Lands' End apparel coupled with the Lands' End service model. We've seen a very positive customer response."
Sears acquired Lands' End in 2002 for $1.9 billion, and five months after the purchase began introducing Lands' End merchandise to 183 of its stores. By fall 2003, all 861 Sears full-line stores carried Lands' End products.
But many industry watchers criticized the way the brand was promoted and displayed in the department store locations.
For instance, Lands' End merchandise was typically spread throughout the Sears' stores, making it more difficult to locate items.
Indeed, Brathwaite says the idea behind the store-within-a-store concept was to better present the Lands' End brand. "We have trained store associates who specialize in Lands' End merchandise. The ability for customers to shop multichannel inside the stores is something we've also been pleased with so far."
Christopher T. Shannon, managing director at New York-based investment bank Berkery, Noyes & Co., observes that the store-within-a-store concept seems to be gaining in popularity. There's been a "rise in demand from the public for more specialty retailers. I believe the goal is to have more of a one-on-one relationship with the end-buyer and offer as many different ways to make a purchase as possible."
Regarding Sears and Lands' End, Shannon notes: "It helps Lands' End sell more product through more exposure, and it helps Sears by adding another great brand in their stores in a creative way."

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE; 24 October 1826; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18261024-TC-JAC-01; CL 4:154-155.
21. Comley Bank, Tuesday-Night [24 October 1826].
My Dear Brother,
I write this tonight for two reasons. The first is: I have made Tait pay me £50 of my stipulated money,1 which sum I forthwith delivered in to the Commercial Bank, with directions that it should there be delivered out again to "Mr Alexander Carlyle." Scott will have word to that effect to-morrow morning; and Alick directly after that, will have nothing more to do but show his trusty face at the office, and be repaid his magnanimous advance to me, the nature of which I never think of without affectionate regret. Tell him not to delay in this (you yourself know from experience the way of managing it); then to write to me very largely soon, as he promised; and to believe that I am his true brother while I live in this world.
My second reason is: that I would give sixpence to see you here yourself at this very moment. I want to speak with you about many things, ut cum fratre, ut cum medico [both as a brother and as a doctor]. When will you come? Jane will be delighted to see you; and for me your presence would be as a lamp in a dark place. Little Jean she does not want for some weeks yet: but there is room enough and to spare for both. You perhaps might walk for economy's sake, and Jane could come in the coach.
To this hour I dare not let myself out about my matrimonial views; for I am yet all in a maze, scarce knowing the right hand from the left in the path I have to walk. To complete the matter I am still billus, and imperfectly supplied with sleep: no wonder therefore that my sky should be tinged with gloom. I cannot explain matters yet; but by and by I doubt not I shall see it all. Meanwhile tell my Mother that I do believe I shall get hefted [adjusted] to my new situation, and then be one of the happiest men alive. Tell her also that by Jane's express request I am to read a sermon, and a Chapter with commentary, at least every Sabbath evening to my household! Also that we are taking seats in church, and design to live soberly and devoutly as beseems us. Our Mother also, Jane says, is to come and see us, and we are not to be divided in heart, tho' separated in place. On the whole this wife of mine surpasses my hopes: she is so tolerant, so kind, so cheerful, so devoted to me! O that I were worthy of her!
Why am I not happy then? Alas Jack I am billus: I have to swallow salts and oil: the physic leaves me pensive yet quiet in heart and on the whole happy enough; but next day comes a burning stomach, and a heart full of bitterness and gloom; for I feel well that with health far more than ever my happiness is connected. Will you come and see me, and let us take counsel together? My little wife will do every thing and all; and surely thro' the strength of Heaven something reasonable right and happy may be made out by proper regulation among us. Certainly at this moment I should be among the happiest of men, if I were not among the unhealthiest.
In addition to all this, I made a vow some days ago to give up my tobacco for three weeks, a piece of abstinence that afflicts me not a little, and of course still farther darkens my views.
Here are Murray & Mitchell come to drink tea with us, and Jane & they are struggling for talk. I cannot say another word. Come if you can—riding or walking. May the great Father bless you all every one with his own blessing! Fear not for me; for I shall soon feel otherwise. Come, or tell me at least whether you are coming. O Murray Murray!
Good Night Jack! / I am ever thy Brother, /
T. Carlyle
Tait's Book and mine is to be out in a month—without any farther addition at all. He knocked under when I saw him, and seemed to admit that in very truth he knew nothing either about Goethe or Richter or any thing connected with them. He is keen for new engagements.
If you cannot come pretty soon, write to me when you are coming. After all it makes little matter; only the sooner you come I think it will be as well and I shall be the gladder to see you. Adieu I am in better spirits already, and shall be still better tomorrow.

I have a question about an integral that looks like a great candidate for residues.
$\displaystyle \int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\cos(x^{2})}{x^{4}+1}dx-\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\sin(x^{2})}{x^{4}+1}dx=\frac{\pi\sqrt(2)}{4e}$.
My difficulty arises in knowing how to come up with the proper contour for something like this.
Does anyone know of a good method for evaluating the above integral using residue theory, or even real methods?.
Take the cosine one.
I wrote it out as $\displaystyle\int_{C}\frac{e^{iz^{2}}}{z^{4}+1}dz$.
Where C is the semicircular contour in the upper half plane.
The zeroes of the denominator are $\displaystyle e^{\frac{\pi i}{4}}, \;\ e^{\frac{3\pi i}{4}}, \;\ e^{\frac{5\pi i}{4}}, \;\ e^{\frac{7\pi i}{4}}$. Of which the first two lie in the upper half plane.
The residue at $\displaystyle e^{\frac{\pi i}{4}}$ is $\frac{-\sqrt{2}}{8e}-\frac{\sqrt{2}i}{8e}$
The residue at $\displaystyle e^{\frac{3\pi i}{4}}$ is $\frac{e\sqrt{2}}{8}-\frac{e\sqrt{2}i}{8}$
Summing them: $\displaystyle 2\pi i\left(\frac{-\sqrt{2}}{8e}-\frac{\sqrt{2}i}{8e}+\frac{e\sqrt{2}}{8}-\frac{e\sqrt{2}i}{8}\right)$
$\displaystyle =\frac{(e^{2}+1)\pi\sqrt{2}}{4e}+\frac{(e^{2}-1)\pi\sqrt{2}}{4e}\cdot i$
But, this is not the correct result... numerically. No doubt, it is not that straightforward because I have chosen an incorrect contour. Perhaps due to the Fresnel-type term in the numerator. Can anyone lend any insight on this one?.
Thanks very much.

HOME l GHOST RIDER (1973) l PREVIOUS l NEXT
The next night, Vincenzo has a nightmare about what's going on in the Freakmaster's new freak tent in the center of the Carnival. Blaze sneaks inside, only to find a large room with schematics detailing how the Freakmaster plans to turn all the Carnival workers into man-made freaks. The villain enters the room, saying that he's glad he has the chance to get rid of Blaze so soon after his arrival. Four motorcycles roar into the room, half-man/half-machines like Renaldo wanted to turn Blaze into. When they attack, the Ghost Rider manages to force himself into control of Blaze's body. After a brief battle, Zarathos defeats the cycle-men, and then turns his attention to the Freakmaster. Ralph Quentin enters, telling the demon to take him instead. He was the owner of the Carnival where the Freakmaster's parents died, and that he deserves to suffer for what he did. The Ghost Rider pauses, unsure of which men deserves punishment more. In this moment of doubt, Blaze manages to wrest control from the demon. Johnny tells the Freakmaster to take his people and leave immediately, before Zarathos again regains control. The Freakmaster agrees to leave, happy that he's finally broke Ralph Quentin into never knowing peace.
The next day, as the freaks depart, Johnny attempts to talk to Quentin, but is ignored by the man. Before Blaze can follow, a voice from the past interrupts him. He turns to find Roxanne Simpson, his former love, standing behind him.
The Freakmaster first appeared in shadow in Ghost Rider (1973) # 70, the same issue in which Renaldo "rescued" Jeremy from the Carnival.
Though her identity has been kept secret, Roxanne has been searching for Johnny since Ghost Rider (1973) # 74.
This issue was reprinted in The Original Ghost Rider Rides Again # 6 and the Essential Ghost Rider vol. 4 trade paperback.
The first of those three essential parts is the emergence of a good villain, this issue giving us the first full appearance of the Freakmaster after months of dealing with his proxies and underlings. After all the build-up, the character took me by surprise by how unassuming he was - a small man in glasses, a suit, and a particularly dorky haircut. He looks about as menacing as a puppy dog, and his initial conversation with Johnny works hard to sell him as the polar opposite of what we'd come to expect. The Freakmaster comes at us not with maniacal laughter, but with sinister compassion that is all the more chilling in hindsight when his evil plans are exposed later on.
The second important thing is an appropriate mood, absolutely imperative for a horror story such as this to get right. Bob Budiansky, whose artwork has always been excellent on this series, somehow seems to really darken up his work with this issue. The atmosphere feels like it could choke you while you're reading, this foreboding air of menace hanging over every panel. I can't quite put my finger on it, maybe its the inks or the colors in this issue, but the whole art package just looks bleaker than the issues before it. Considering the nature of the storyline here, thought, a bleaker outlook is certainly welcome. The horrific nature of the storyline hits all the right notes with some fantastic moments. Renaldo's capture and eventual fate, the revelation of Freakmaster's plans for the Carnival troupe, the Ghost Rider's wavering moment of doubt on who deserves punishment more between Ralph Quentin and the Freakmaster...all just perfect.
Finally, that third essential ingredient to a successful serial comic book is the cliff-hanger ending, and hoo-boy do we get a doozy of a cliff-hanger in this one. Back, 50 issues after her disappearance from the book, is Roxanne Simpson, the original love of Johnny Blaze and the woman to whom he owes his life. All the pieces were being moved into position for the series' eventual finale, and Roxanne's return works to bring things full circle with an ending that made me beg to read the next issue.
I've said this a dozen times before but it always bears repeating: if you haven't picked up the last 15 issues of the first Ghost Rider series, you can't truthfully call yourself a Ghost Rider fan. The book has yet to be as good as it is here. Absolutely recommended.
Grade: A+

Title: "Shades of Gray!"

By LORRAINE BARNETT
Special to The Gazette
Every spring, just before April comes alive, I watch "The Secret Garden.†Oddly, I've never read the book, but having viewed the movie many times, I must say the visual appeal intrigues me. Each year I can see something new in that secret garden. The misty air that fills hundreds of rose petals. The old cracked columns that still manage to make friends with flowering vines. Baby animals frolicking through the garden's foliage. The scenes never fail to inspire me to create in the garden. But even in the real world, I think April is the most delightful month of the year, watching how, each day, the earth thaws and new buds come alive. To me, there's no better time to plan a secret garden, one plant at a time.
Secret white flowers
Long ago, I received a perennial bush as a gift, the first plant for my secret garden. It was precious because my mother bought it especially for me for my first garden. I could hold it my arms, and it had little white flowers on it.
"What's her name?†I asked. There was no tag in the gallon pot. I sniffed at the flowers, and they had a warm, lemony scent with a hint of vanilla. I could not recall the name of the flowers, but they seemed familiar.
"It's a flowering bush,†she said. "It's perennial so it will come back each year. Wait and see. Now, put the kettle on so we can have some tea.â€
I imagined having tea in the garden, with a round table covered in layers of floral cloth, a teapot and cups, with plants growing here and about, small and tall. A cozy little secret garden. It was April, and the grass was green. The next morning the unnamed little potted plant beckoned me into the garden. She wanted to be planted. But the fact remained; there was no real garden yet. Just acres of green grass.
But I did have a vision, and now I had a flowering, though leafless plant. As I looked closer into the dense twigs, I saw a tag hidden beneath her gray wood. It said "Star Magnolia.†She did have a name! From then on I called her Maggie.
Year by year, Maggie grew larger and my secret garden grew around her. Stone walls were created, a little fish pond was added and daylilies grew beside old sandstone steps leading up to a garden gate. Each new plant was given a special name. And though I once held Maggie in my arms, she grew to 8 feet, then beyond. I finally recognized why the small, early-blooming bush was familiar — a friend had a 20-foot tree with the same white flowers. Maggie was a large ornamental flowering shrub, a small tree, really, and she became the star of my secret garden, the first plant to open her blooms in April.
All-star season beauty
What a beauty! If you want your garden to begin blooming early, the star magnolia (Magnolia stellata) is a must. Each season, the star magnolia has some fascinating characteristics. In April, multiple branches already hold lots of flower buds covered with fuzzy fur coats, reminiscent of pussy willows. Branches are mostly smooth, with silvery gray or light brown bark. Leaves have not grown yet, and petals will first emerge from inside each bud, appearing rolled up and ready to unfurl into snow white, pale pink or purple petals.
Day by day, more blooms will open, each holding 12 to 30 petals (depending on variety) and lasting for several days. As you look closer, each petal is a work of art. Some petals change hues as they mature, and some varieties have green or pinkish veins running through their petals. After a couple weeks the petals will carpet the earth. Soon tender foliage emerges in a blend of purple, green and bronze colors that gradually deepen to dark green. Oblong leaves grow 3 to 4 inches long and half as wide. Foliage continues to mature to an attractive thick and leathery green as the season works its way into the summer.
Later in the summer, bumpy green fruit pods may develop. Some pods, now reddish and 2 to 3 inches long, will drop to the ground and others will hold onto the branches. The ones remaining on the shrub will open to reveal shiny, bright orange seeds during the autumn.
As the cold snap arrives, foliage may warm to golden yellow, bronze or pale green, eventually falling from the deciduous shrub. The cycle then begins anew as tiny fuzzy buds begin to grow throughout the autumn, winter and into spring.
The star magnolia, generally considered a medium-growth shrub, may grow a foot or more each year. It is considered dense and may spread to 15 feet wide and stand 15 to 20 feet tall. The plant can be grown from seed or propagated by early summer cuttings. It is a low-maintenance shrub or small tree. Insects are not generally a problem, but magnolia scale is more common and can be treated with advice from your local state Extension service or garden professional.
Magnolia stellata
Where to plant: According to the Arbor Day Foundation, the star magnolia is an ornamental flowering shrub or tree that will grow in Zones 4 to 8, though some gardeners grow them in Zone 9, farther south. Most gardeners agree a star magnolia planted in Ohio's Zone 5 should be planted in a sunny spot.
Can it be placed in a sheltered nook? The conflict is that the early buds need to stay closed in frosty northern conditions to protect tender flowers, thus keeping the magnolia in a cold space helps to retard early blooms. Other gardeners believe a sheltered place away from wind and cold does bring buds into bloom sooner, but blooms also may stay protected from frosty nights.
Shelter or not, the star magnolia enjoys soil that stays evenly moist but also drains well, so roots do not soak in water. Soil should be deep with organic matter, leaf mold and slightly acidic but the star magnolia can also tolerate a bit of clay soil. Mulching in the fall is beneficial. A sunny spot with morning sunshine is ideal.
Companion plants: Plant a Magnolia stellata with companion plants for beauty plus continuous blooms. Some ideas are:
o Spring bulbs such as tulips, daffodils and hyacinths;
o Green, leafy perennials like hostas, ajuga or creeping phlox. Flowering shrubs like hydrangeas, rhododendrons and azaleas;
o For continuous springtime blooms try ornamental trees like saucer magnolias, crab apples and weeping cherries;
o Unique perennials such as lamb's ears, silver mound Artemisia or lady's mantle add interest;
o Ground covers used as underplantings such as ivies, periwinkle or pachysandra;
o Try colorful ground-hugging annuals such as impatiens, calendula and pansies.
Pruning: The star magnolia is fairly carefree and does not need pruning. However, shaping the shrub gives symmetry and reduces the density of the plant.
As some shrubs can potentially grow into small trees, it is beneficial to prune them while young to achieve a tree-type structure.
Pruning bottom branches also can allow under planting. Pruning should be done after blooms fade, sometime in spring, but before summer to reduce the risk of cutting next year's buds.
Magnolia stellata cultivars (Magnoliaceae family):
o M. stellata "Centennial†has big white flowers that have a pink tinge. The pyramidal specimen has potential to grow 25 feet.
o M. stellata "Rosea†grows pale pinkish-white blooms and grows up to 15 feet.
o M. stellata "Royal Star†has double soft pink blooms that pale to white. Grows to 10 feet.
o M. stellata "Rubra†begins blooming with purplish buds that develop into pink flowers. Leaves are pale green. Grows to 20 feet.
o M. stellata "Waterlily†grows pink buds and blooms with lots of petals. Grows to 15 feet.

For the second time in three years, Police Chief Carl DeForest will serve as interim city manager, Brunswick Councilwoman Pat Hanek, at large, said.
DeForest will stand in for City Manager Jim Lukas, who announced his resignation, effective Aug. 2, earlier this month.
Because Lukas is taking vacation during his final week, his last day on the job is July 26, said Hanek, who also serves as vice mayor.
She said City Council is expected to name DeForest interim city manager on Monday — the final Council meeting before a scheduled August recess.
"I have confidence in Carl and I think he'll do a great job," she said.
Hanek said Council members wanted to appoint a city employee to the temporary position, but rules require the candidate to have eight years of administrative experience, which limits the qualified applicant pool.
DeForest has experience serving in the double-role of police chief/interim city manager. He served as interim city manager for about 10 months — from May 2010 to February 2011 — while Council conducted a search for a city manager before appointing Lukas to the position in February 2011.
DeForest could not be reached for comment Friday evening.
Before Monday's meeting, Council members will meet in executive session during a Committee of the Whole meeting to discuss a plan for searching for a permanent city manager.
Council typically is on recess for all of August, but Hanek said members may cut their break short to move the appointment process along.
"We may have to meet just to move this forward," she said.
In other action Monday, Council is expected to vote on two ordinances covering the purchases of two cabs and chassis and two dump/plow sets for the city's Service Department. The two vehicles would replace trucks that are 23 years old, Hanek said.
The total cost for the two new trucks comes to $268,440.
Council meets at 7:30 p.m. Monday at City Hall, 4095 Center Road.

"It was a very hard game. Although we lost I'm not too disappointed, because Italy are a really good team. It was a great honour to play in the World Cup, and I was really proud to represent my country and my island. It's our ambition to reach the second round and we still believe we can do this," James Naka, Solomon Islands player.
"This was a very special day for me. I was so emotional to represent Italy, it was very important to me to do this for my mother. I'm still learning beach soccer and I enjoyed today very much, but the most important thing is that Italy win. My dream is for an Italy-Argentina final," Diego Maradona, Italy player.

Android phones, Android Market heading to Korea this year
KTF, South Korea's second largest mobile carrier, is reportedly in talks with both Samsung and LG, in order to develop an Android smartphone – the first for the Korean market.
The smartphone could be launched before the year's end, but it's not clear yet if it will be manufactured by Samsung or LG, or if both companies will contribute to it (that would probably be a first).
Alongside Android handsets, it's said that Google also wants to introduce its Android Market app store to South Korea, as early as Q3 2009.
However, the big G has to overcome some issues, including the fact that Google check-out is not yet implemented in Korea. And, since Android Market uses this payment system, it can't be launched without it.
South Korea's smartphones are mainly Windows Mobile ones (about 90%), so the Android platform will be something really new for customers. Only time will tell if it's going to be successful.

From Balingoan Going to enchanted River How many Hours and which Buss I need to ride?
And How much the trasport..
Travel Guide: Bislig and Hinatuan
The province of Surigao del Sur, in Mindanao's CARAGA Region, has been out of the tourism map for quite some time but its natural attractions are paving the way for the province to be visited and seen.
Who wouldn't be amazed of the majestic Tinuy-an Falls in Bislig and the Enchanted River in Hinatuan? As such, more and more tourists are braving the long road to these two most visited spots in the province.
Both situated in the eastern seaboard of Mindanao, fronting the Pacific Ocean, Bislig and Hinatuan are driving the growth of the province in terms of tourism generated income.
Bislig, considered as the easternmost city of the Philippines in terms of geographical location, is the gateway to the Tinuy-an Falls which is dubbed as "Niagara of the Philippines", the widest waterfalls in the country at 95 meters. But aside from it, Bislig is also home to other interesting scenic spots – cold spring, caves, underground river, lakes and other waterfalls.
Meanwhile, north of Bislig is the town of Hinatuan, another coastal town. It is a laid back and typically rural town famous for Enchanted River and Maomawan Islet.
The road going to Bislig and Hinatuan maybe long but what's in there are worth the long travel. They are paradise on their own rights and are truly fascinating wonders of nature.
How to Get There
Surigao del Sur has airports in Bislig and in the provincial capitol of Tandag, but unfortunately there is no commercial airline serving these points. The nearest commercial airports and also serving as gateways to Bislig and Hinatuan are Butuan City, Surigao City (Surigao del Norte) and Davao.
From Butuan
There are buses and vans from Butuan City Integrated Bus Terminal going to Mangagoy, the commercial hub of Bislig City. Direct deluxe (non-aircon) bus travel time takes five (5) hours to Mangagoy for a fare of P243 (as of August 2012) and four (4) hours to Hinatuan for a fare of P190 (as of August 2012). Vans travel faster, approximately three-and-a-half (3.5) hours to Hinatuan and four (4) hours to Mangagoy.
Alternatively, you may catch an aircon bus going to Davao, get off at San Francisco (San Franz) in Agusan Del Sur (2 hours) and transfer to another bus or van going to Mangagoy (3 hours) passing through Hinatuan (2 hours).
From Surigao City
Getting to Bislig and Hinatuan from Surigao City is quite strenuous since there is no direct link between these places and it really requires transfer. From Surigao City, you may either go to Butuan which is around two hours or Tandag which is four to five hours. The latter is ideal if you are coming from Sohoton/Bucas Grande Islands.
From Butuan, there are direct deluxe (non-aircon) buses going to Hinatuan and Mangagoy (Bislig), while in Tandag, there are jeepneys and vans.
From Davao City
There are deluxe (non-aircon) buses from Davao City's Ecoland Bus Terminal going directly to Mangagoy (Bislig). Travel time takes around six hours. Alternatively, you may catch an aircon bus going to Butuan City, get off at the town of Trento and transfer to another bus or jeepney going to Mangagoy (Bislig).
Getting Around and Away
Tricycle and motorbikes locally known as habal-habal are the common mode of transport around Bislig and Hinatuan. In Mangagoy (Bislig), there are local jeepneys going to Hinatuan, Tagbina, Barobo, Trento, Lingig, Boston and Cateel.
Going to Hinatuan from Mangagoy, you may ride the bus going to Butuan City (1 hour, fare P50 as of August 2012), get off at Dugmanon Junction and transfer to a habal-habal going to Enchanted River at P50.00, one-way, per person. Another option is to ride the local jeepney from Mangagoy Jeepney Terminal to Hinatuan Jeepney Terminal (1 hour and 15 minutes, P35 as of August 2012). From Hinatuan Terminal, transfer to a habal-habal going to Enchanted River at P50.00, one-way, per person.
Take note that habal-habal do not leave until they are full so if you are in a hurry, you may need to pay for the full rate of going there and back. The average rate is P200 but I got mine at P150 for round trip habal-habal transfer.
What to do in Bislig?
- Visit the Tinuy-an Falls located in Sitio Sote, Barangay Burboanan. It can be reached by traversing a rough road from city proper. Private vehicles can drive directly to it and park at the designated parking area outside the fall's compound. Meanwhile, public commuters can hire a tricycle or habal-habal that will take you to the waterfalls in half-an-hour from the city proper. The best time to visit the place is in the morning. Entrance fee at Tinuy-an Falls is P50.
- Check-out the other waterfalls: Sibaroy, Sian, Mendezona, Kambawi, Canlumawag and Secret Falls
- Ride a boat to Hagonoy Island
- Drop by Togonan Cold Spring, Delot and Hinayagan Cave, Forester's Park, Hercules Wall, Barcelona Beach, Lawigan Beach, the man-made Lake 77, Caguyao River, Mone River and Suhoton Underground River.
What to do in Hinatuan?
- Visit the Enchanted River of Hinatuan and swim on its deep blue water. The best time is in the morning. See also the feeding at noon and occasionally at 3PM daily. Entrance fee at Enchanted River is P30. Picnic huts are available for rent inside. You may bring your own food or let the restaurants outside cook for you.
- Discover/Intro to Scuba Diving in the Enchanted River. As low as P550 for no fins/no swim intro dive on a maximum depth of 10 feet with souvenir photos and video. P950 with complete scuba gear, with orientation and on maximum depth of 20 feet. Leisure diving for professional is not allowed as of August 2012.
- Go island hopping in Hinatuan Bay and see Maomawan Islet
- Explore Cagwait Beach the nearby islands off Tandag
- Go Island Hopping in Britania Islands in San Agustin
- Go surfing in the northern town of Lanuza
Where to Stay
There is no fancy hotel and resort in Bislig and Hinatuan, only local and small time resorts and lodges that are mostly budget friendly. In Bislig, most of the accommodations are in business district of Mangagoy, where I stayed overnight.

Hi Sir, we included Enchanted River and Tinuy-an Falls in our Davao itinerary. Please can u check sir:
April 16 – Arriving at Davao, 3:30 pm. We hope to catch a bus going to Hinatuan, then overnight.
April 17 – 6am, Enchanted River + Tinuy-an Falls. Overnight in Bislig.
April 18 – we hope to catch the earliest bus going back to Davao kasi Davao and Samal naman kami till Apr20.
Can you advise on the bus schedules pls? Thanks!!
April 16- There is no problem with the bus schedule from Davao.
You will ride a Davao-Butuan Trip- 24 hours and operation nila. pero ang aircon until 12 midnight lang.
You will ride a Davao-Tandag Trip- much better kasi straight straight na ang travel ninyo kaso uncertain ang schedule ng bus na davao-tandag.
April 18- Bus schedule from Tandag is not 24 hours. and i really have no idea of their schdule there
April 16 you must ride Davao-tandag o Davao-Butuan trip but drop by in san france terminal marami jan bus o kaya van papuntang Mangagoy . morning ng April 17 nasa Mangagoy na kau. Kaya naman wholeday puntahan ang Hinatuan at Tinuy an falls. Pwd sa gabi Byahe na ulet galing ng Mangagoy pa dAVAO..
Good day po! Pa-advise naman po kung meron kayo bus schedule from Cateel to Davao City ng hapon hanggang gabi? Thanks po in advance!
yung naka lagay kasi is drop off from the town of trento. That is possible pero it would even be better if sa San Francisco mag drop off. Kasi it is like a gate-way town to surigao del sur. Mas marami na kasing bus din pagka sa San Francisco.

im hoping you can help us with our itinerary, my family and I are visiting the enchanted river and the tinuy-an falls by van this December, afterwards we'll travel by bus to Davao, is it possible to visit both the river and the falls in a day even with a 7:45-9:15AM flight to butuan? we're planning an itinerary similar to amy's (who posted last april 19) hope you can help, thanks a lot in advance 🙂
do you remember how long it will take to travel from the butuan airport to the enchanted river by van? and to the enchanted river to the tinuy-an falls? we're hoping we could visit the river and the falls in one day by van. (afterwards we're taking a bus to Davao for a couple of days) is that possible even if we arrive at the airport around 10am? we're actually planning an itinerary similar to amy's (who posted her question last april 19) hope you can help, thank you so much!
Hi Mr. Lakwatsero,
I have a plan to visit my friend in Bislig next month. I am Indonesian and i will catch the flight from my Country (Jakarta) to Davao via Manila. My plan to spend at least 4 days in Bislig, before going back to Jakarta from Davao.
I am very interisting to visit some beautiful and amazing place there, i.e. Tinuy Ann Falls and Hinatuan river. Is there any car to be rent for daily basis there in Bislig? It sounds easier for foreigner like me to visit all excited places there if there is a car + driver to bring me and my friend to go everywhere.
btw, thank you for your blog, its really help me to arrange my trip there soon.
Regards & Salamat
