Catalyst March Issue 2006
The U.S. Court of Appeals recently ruled that the New York City public schools are allowed to ban nativity scenes during Christmas while simultaneously allowing the display of menorahs. The Catholic League arranged for a plaintiff in this case, Andrea Skoros and her children, and the Thomas More Law Center supplied the lawyers. Bill Donohue said that he wasn't unhappy because it has been his goal all along to have the U.S. Supreme Court make the final—and we expect favorable—decision on this issue. The case is surely going to reach them eventually.

I'm looking for a way to set the sound preferences in Pidgin such that a sound is played only when a message is received when the conversation window doesn't have focus. There doesn't seem to be an option for this. Any ideas?
In Pidgin 2.5.7 Tools->Preferences->Sounds I was able to unclick "Sounds when conversation has focus". Then I have "message sent" clicked. Does this answer your question?
The magic is the "Message received begins conversation" sound event. This should be checked.
I have the following boxes checked on the Sounds tab on the Preferences window:
I also have Enable sounds set to Always.

Pumpkin Muffins
Adapted from the American club, in Kohler, Wisconsin via Gourmet Magazine
New favorite adaptation 10/28/13, Sweet Potato Muffins: Roast a medium-to-large orange-fleshed sweet potato (pricked all over with a fork, at 350 for 45 minutes to an hour) until very tender. Let cool completely. (Can do this a day in advance; store in fridge.) Either mash or run potato flesh through a potato ricer. Measure 1 1/3 cup from this and continue with recipe below as printed.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (have successfully swapped whole wheat flour for half)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon pumpkin-pie spice (or 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon + 1/4 teaspoon fresh nutmeg + 1/4 teaspoon ginger + pinch of ground cloves and allspice)
1 cup (original recipe) to 1 1/3 cup (what I use these days; makes it even more rich) canned solid-pack pumpkin (from a 15 ounce can, not pumpkin pie filling, which is sweetened and spiced)
1/3 cup vegetable or another neutral cooking oil
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put liners in 12 standard-sized muffin cups.
Stir or whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spice in small/medium bowl.
In a larger bowl, whisk together pumpkin, oil, eggs and 1 1/4 cups sugar. Add dry ingredients to wet and stir until just combined. Divide batter among muffin cups (each about 3/4 full).
Stir together last tablespoon of sugar and teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle over each muffin.
Bake until puffed and golden brown and wooden pick or skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
Cool in pan on a rack five minutes, then transfer muffins from pan to rack and cool to warm or room temperature.
Do ahead: Most muffins don't keep well, but these are excellent on Day 2 (after being stored in an airtight container at room temperature) and not bad at all on Day 3. If longer, I'd keep them in the freezer until needed.

We predicted that Girls' Generation were going to outsell rivals KARA in Japan, and now it's official. On its first day of release, SNSD's new Japanese-language album, Girls' Generation II ~Girls & Peace~, shifted an impressive 46,031 copies on the Oricon Daily chart, easily trumping the 28,724 KARA sold of their latest J-pop album, Girls Forever. SNSD are now guaranteed a bigger opening week than the "Electric Boy" singers, who have already been outsold by the Divine Nine on more than one occasion.
But even with such a strong start, SNSD's numbers won't be enough to reach No. 1 on the weekly chart. That honor will go to legendary J-rock act Mr. Children, whose new album, An Imitation Blood Orange, sold 217,514 copies during its first day on sale.
We didn't really expect Girls' Generation to outsell a band like Mr. Children, though. Simply reaching second place and beating Japan's other biggest Korean girl group is a huge achievement in itself.

The plant will commence production in the year 2013 and generate propylene as the raw material for the plastic polypropylene. Initially, this plants compressor train will be deployed as an axial-flow compressor run by gas turbines. The plant is China's first propane dehydrogenation project (PDH) and has 600,000 t capacity of propylene every year. The Chinese Tianjin Chemical Industry Group, a plastics processing company will operate the plant.
There is an increasing demand for plastics hence for propylene in China just as in Asia. Along with the PDH plant construction, China satisfies this demand and at the same time, an industry will be developed for the processing of natural gas. Till now, propylene and ethylene have been obtained together due to petroleum cracking in refineries.
Propylene production with propylene selectivity being more than 85% is done as per the Catofin technology of the company, CB&I Lummus. According to this method, dehydrogenation of propane will help manufacture propylene. Propane gas is obtained from natural gas. As per the process, the catalyst will be heated repeatedly and regenerated with heated, compressed air alternately with the dehydrogenation reaction.
In the newly commenced plant, this air is provided by two Siemens compressor trains. Till now, these types of axial-flow compressors have been utilized only in refineries or blast furnaces. In the Bohai project, they are being utilized in the petrol industry in a propane dehydrogenation plant.
Another innovation is the integration of a gas turbine and an axial-flow compressor. Gas turbines at the Chinese plant are a fitting drive system as they can be driven on both natural gas coming from a pipeline as well as propane gas coming from the plant. Axial-flow compressors and gas turbines have superior efficiency rates. Hence the integration of the two systems is highly effective.

Former Idaho star running back Joel Thomas joined the UW coaching staff as its running backs coach in January of 2009. In January of 2012, he added the title of associate head coach - offense. He enters his fourth year on the Husky staff this fall.
The 2011 season was another highly successful one for Washington running backs as tailback Chris Polk became just the second player in school history to rush for more than 1,000 yards in three straight seasons and one of only seven players in Pac-12 history to reach the 4,000-yard mark for a career.
Polk ran for 1,488 yards, the second-most in the long history of UW football. His 4,049 yards also ranked No. 2 in Husky lore, while he set new school records for career attempts (799), career yards per game (101.2), career 50-plus-yard carries (6) and career 100-yard games (21). He also became the first Husky ever to compile 100 or more rushing and receiving yards in the same game, as he did vs. Arizona. Polk earned first-team All-Pac-12, honorable mention All-America and joined the Philadelphia Eagles following the 2011 season.
Ball security, one of Thomas' most prominent teaching points, was also on display in 2011 as Husky running backs lost only one fumble the entire season.
The 2010 season, Thomas' second, was highlighted by the play of Polk, whose 1,415 yards were, at the time, second-most in Washington history and ranked No. 2 in the Pac-10 Conference. Polk's relentless rushing style was showcased most clearly in Apple Cup win at Washington State, when he ran for 284 yards, just six shy of Hall of Famer Hugh McElhenny's 59-year old single-game record. Additionally, UW running backs lost just two fumbles in 340 rushing attempts.
In his first season in charge of the UW running backs in 2009, Thomas coached Polk to the first 1,000-yard season by a freshman in Husky history. Polk's 1,113 yards ranked seventh in UW single-season history. Additionally, the Huskies gained an average of nearly 40 more rushing yards per game than they did in 2008.
Thomas, a native of Port Angeles, Wash., joined the Husky coaching staff after three seasons as running backs coach at Purdue. Last season, he mentored 1,000-yard rusher Kory Sheets.
Thomas, who was previously also a graduate assistant at Purdue, returned to the Boilermakers staff in 2006 after two years at Idaho as co-offensive coordinator and running backs coach under Nick Holt, then the Vandals' head coach and now the UW defensive coordinator and assistant head coach.
In 2002 and 2003, Thomas was running backs coach at Louisville. Under his tutelage, the Cardinals ranked 10th in the nation in rushing offense (228.2 yards per game) in 2003. Thomas also briefly worked at Idaho as running backs coach in the spring of 2002.
Thomas was a running back at Idaho from 1995 to 1998. He remains the Vandals' career leader with 765 rushing attempts, 3,929 rushing yards and 51 rushing touchdowns. As a senior, Thomas was named the Big West Player of the Year. He also earned the Humanitarian Award prior to the 1998 Humanitarian Bowl, in which Idaho Southern Miss, 42-35.
While at Idaho, he once rushed for 272 yards in a game vs. rival Boise State and twice earned All-Big West first-team honors. He was invited to play in the East-West Shrine Game and the Senior Bowl.
He was inducted to the University of Idaho Athletic Hall of Fame in 2008, along with fellow Vandal alum and Husky assistant coach Doug Nussmeier.
Thomas earned his bachelor's degree in public communications from Idaho in 1998. He is married to the former Ebbie Metzinger, who was a Big Ten-champion pole vaulter at Purdue. Joel and Ebbie are the parents of a son, Teyo.

A popular sixth street venue formerly called Club Mixx, which was well-known for its Old School Rock & Hip-Hop acts recently changed its name on Nov. 27th to Klub Krucial. This shocked many of the bars regulars however, their worries slowly diminished as the new owners began showing similar line-ups. Despite having a new staff; they are also friendly and the club's promotioal flyers just as eye-catching.
On New Years Eve, a surprising turnout was noted, it might have been because of the inclusion of a $500 ball drop, promise of cheap drinks or the ingenious networking skills of many club supporters. The club also recently hosted a show on Jan. 8th featuring one of texas' newest female rappers; Candi Redd whom I had the pleasure of personally meeting. That particular show set the stage for what the staff members claim is the main approach for upcoming shows, it was centered around showcasing many local artists who share a common passion and energetic stage presence.
One unique feature about the space is that the club is very open which is comforting with plenty of room to dance and enjoy yourself amongst collegues. The upstairs is now mainly used as a VIP area for private parties and celebrity socialites. And, the back patio area which was a big hit during the warmer months is still a nice place to sit back and catch the show for those brave patrons willing to face austin's current cold front. A nice payoff especially in these trying days is the drink prices; they are comparable to other local bars and if bar-hopping this one should definately not be skipped.
Klub Krucial is located on E. 6th St just around the corner from Red River beside Emo's. For recent news on upcoming shows and events visit one of the club's many websites.

Stanford (16-1, 2-0 MPSF) closes its brief two-game homestand Saturday afternoon hosting No. 5 Arizona State for a 1 p.m. contest. It is the second meeting of the season between the two schools, as the Cardinal defeated the Sun Devils 11-10 in the UCI Invitational second round on Feb. 22.
The Cardinal enters Saturday's contest on the heels of its biggest win of 2014, a 9-5 victory over No. 1 USC last Sunday at Avery Aquatic Center. The win snapped USC's 27-game winning streak dating back to last season.
Seven different players scored for the Cardinal, while in the cage sophomore goalie Gabby Stone made a career-high 13 saves in holding the Trojans, which entered the game as the MPSF's top offense with 15.9 goals per game, to a season-low five goals. For her performance, Stone was named MPSF/KAP 7 Player of the Week Monday.
The Cardinal's victory over USC put Stanford in the driver's seat for the top seed at the MPSF Championship. At 2-0 in conference play, Stanford is led by Maggie Steffens (34 goals) while Ashley Grossman and Kiley Neushul each have 30 goals.
The CWPA Varsity Top 20 was released Wednesday afternoon and the Cardinal, after Sunday's win, vaulted two spots into a dead heat for No. 1 with UCLA. The Cardinal was last atop the poll through last year's MPSF Championship.
Arizona State (13-6, 1-2 MPSF) will carry a four-game winning streak into Saturday's contest at Avery Aquatic Center. After dropping two straight MPSF games to USC and UCLA, the Sun Devils rebounded with four straight wins at home against Marist, CSU Bakersfield, Occidental and Whittier.
The Sun Devils are led in the pool by Alkistis Benekou (47 goals), Izabella Chiappini (38), and Petra Pardi (35). In the cage, E.B. Keeve leads the MPSF with 12.44 saves per game and is fourth with a 7.06 goals-against average.

This particular article is going to be one of my favorites to write, to due the fact that it contains two of my favorite subjects, God and sports. This is a unique year, because two of my favorite sports teams and the Body of Christ have something in common. 2010 is a year of transition for all parties named in this article. A year of transition indicates two things, first, this is going to be a year of stretching and growth; and second, everybody involved will feel the growing pains. As a member of the Body of Christ, I am already starting to feel the growing pains. Growing means change; change means stretching out of your comfort zone, hence the growing pains. You are being transformed out of the likeness of the world and more into His likeness. The pieces of you that were old are becoming new and it will take time for everything to fall into place and operate at optimum efficiency. God will tweak you piece by piece, bit by bit, and thought by thought until you are where He wants you. Sure, He could change you all at once, but you likely would fall apart under the pressure. That is why God allows for a transition phase as He takes you from glory to glory. So it is in the world of sports.
The Detroit Pistons, my favorite basketball team, are in a year of transition. They are adjusting to a new head coach, John Kuester. A new coach in the sports world means a new coaching system and style to learn for the players. In addition to the new head coach, the Pistons have also had numerous alterations to their roster. Key players in their world championship victories, such as Chauncey Billups and Rasheed Wallace, are no longer with the team. Ben Wallace also moved on to the Chicago Bulls, but has returned to the Pistons. The Pistons were well known for their team mentality, that no one player is more valuable than another. But now there is a new team in place, with a new coach, and that group has to meld together. The melding process takes time to transition into a successful team. It will take the player learning the coaching system, the coach learning the players and their idiosyncrasies, and mixing that into a viable entity that will win basketball games.
The University of Michigan Wolverines is my favorite college football team. They, like the Pistons are also in the midst of transition. They acquired a new coach last season, along with numerous lineup changes. College football is an art to keep successful, because the lineup changes at least every four years. College players graduate, move on to professional football, or begin careers outside of football. The Wolverines these last few years have lost head coach Lloyd Carr to retirement, quarterback Chad Henne to the pros, and other key players, both offense and defense, to graduation. This new team is headed now by Rich Rodriguez, who has accepted the challenge to build a new team and work toward leading them to victory. This is a daunting task, building a successful enterprise almost from the ground up. Coach Rodriguez has to establish credibility with the rest of the coaching staff, the players, and then find and build leadership within the team. Assuming that he stays with Michigan for awhile, he faces this task again in four more years. Coach Rodriguez understands transition all too well.
The point of all of this is in Ephesians 4:15, which says, "Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ". Our entire mission as Christians is to grow up into Christ. How many know that is a ton of growth, which will not end until we go to be with Him. There will be pains as you grow, habits that you do not want to change, lifestyles you may not want to give up, people that you associate with that you should not, and words you speak that ought not to be spoken. These are but a few of the things that are in the midst of transition. For some it is a matter of not spending time in prayer or in God's Word enough, drawing nigh to Him. Guilty as charged!! That is one of my growing pains at this current moment. A word of advice, do not let your schedules overwhelm you. Find your time with God. He will cause everything else to fall into place, as long as He is given first priority, for He alone is worthy. So as we venture into 2010 with our game faces on, ready to make the changes that will benefit us spiritually as well as other areas of our lives, remember that the growing pains will subside, and you will be a stronger, more beautiful creature in Christ in the end. Until next time may God bless and keep you, and may His face shine upon you. To our Lord be praise and honor and glory and power, forever and ever. Amen.
So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. – 1 Corinthians 3:7

Horses given Viagra by their trainer in order to increase their speed on the racetrack has landed the cheating trainer with both suspension time and a hefty $40K fine this week. A man from New Mexico, John Stinebaugh, is charged with giving his racehorses a concentrated Viagra ingredient in an attempt to make them as fast as possible. The Inquisitr reveals this Saturday, Feb. 15, 2014, that the man now faces serious suspension time and possible criminal charges for the foul act against these animals and for violating the competition's policy.
The four horses offered Viagra was not part of a secret attempt to increase the animals' libido, but instead their capabilities on the racetrack. New Mexico horse racing officials declared a public statement recently that trainer John Stinebaugh had given at least four horses the disbarred drugs in 2013. The animals tested positive back in July for an active ingredient often found in the erectile dysfunction medicine, Viagra.
Now, the racing commission is asserting that Stinebaugh will be facing severe punishment for the crime. He will be receiving a total of four mandatory suspensions (amounting to the number of horses testing positive for the Viagra drug ingredient down in Ruidoso Downs) from racing, which amounts to no less than 16 years. He is also charged with a $40K fine, and will need to give up no less than an addition $8K in his personal racehorse winnings to atone for the act.
According to the press release, the active ingredient found in Viagra that tested positive within the horses was in fact sildenafil, which has the ability to increase cardiac (heart) output. In horses, this would be able to provide them with increased speed and endurance, ultimately leading to faster race times on the whole for these competitive animals.
"That drug has no business being in a horse. It has no medicinal or therapeutic value in a horse," said Racing Commission Executive Vince Mares.
It remains unknown whether Stinebaugh will be working to appeal the official ruling made by the horse racing commission earlier this week, though he does have the ability to fight it in the near future. Mares noted that he hopes the suspension will serve as an example to prevent future horse racers from cheating and trying to inject horses with wrongful performance-enhancing drugs like Viagra.
"It is just a more proactive approach to… the doping problem that exists in New Mexico," he added.

Day 12 Juicing #2 & an old picture I found online!
Tuesday, July 02, 2013
Scale went down .4 and from now on the ticker will be moving!
Did my hour of zumba, drank my juices, pushed the waters, had some broth.
So all is good on the juicing front. I went to the parents and they had just cooked, it smelled so nice but I was perfectly fin with it.
Today was a better day emotionally, but last night was not. After I wrote my blog and went to bed I got really angry. Talking to the people closest to me, I have come up with options for the emotional detox that is going on. I am not ready for most of these but took some steps. I found numbers that if I decide I want to use, I have them. So while I did that, I thought- if someone was looking for me would they be able to find me? So I went on greek google and if you put my name in English you find pages and pages and pages of me and my numbers, email etc...
So I clicked on links just to see what others would, and one of them was from a friend from my building who is a paparazzo and had taken pictures of the building's art show in 2008... and my picture was there.
I am wearing the same "good"shirt as apparently it was the only one I liked myself in.
So when I went to go to sleep, I was plagued with Anger. Anger that I am so easy to find, and I am not found. Anger that the people around me haven't noticed how much I have changed...Look at my frikin picture and look at me now!
So I tapped away on the anger, on the confusion, on the fact that I want things to be a certain way and they just happen the way they want to. I wrote the emotions in my diary, and finally was able to sleep after 2am.
Woke up at 7am and I just new that the day was going to be much better. I tapped as soon as I got up on any residual feelings. Day went great. I will be revisiting the issues with tapping tonight too.
This is what I have been using to get to the root of it.
Hope I get to bed earlier tonight.

It's understandable that you felt angry. It's understandable that you want people to see the changes that are being made. You look good. You changed significantly. Some people may not say anything because they may be uncertain whether you want them to or not. Maybe with more time, they will speak up
. As for not being found, a lot of people are busy with their own lives and aren't necessarily searching for anyone so it is most likely not personal. I know it still hurts though. It can feel like rejection and that's not a good feeling for anyone whether it's personal or not.
Feel confident in the changes you have made. Celebrate your successes and know that you are one awesome lady whether people are looking for you are not.
I know one thing for sure. All of your spark friends are glad you are on this site and we notice that you are looking fabulous!

CRLF in <string> -- XML vs XML-RPC
<bryanh <at> giraffe-data.com>
I'd like to bring up again a favorite topic on this list: the line of the XML-RPC spec that attempts to say you can put arbitrary bytes in a <string> element. Those who have followed this discussion know that this is at odds with another important statement in the spec that an XML-RPC message is XML. The problem is that if if it's XML, then the contents of a <string> element are characters and the XML spec says a lot about how they're interpreted and there's no obvious way to put arbitrary byte data in there. One area where it's particularly hard to stretch XML to cover this binary data idea is "control character" data, because while it's easy to assume that you would send the byte 0x41 as the XML character sixty-five, there's no obvious way to send the byte 0x00, because there is no XML character zero. But on the other hand, you can imagine an XML character zero and some implementations do. But there's one other area that causes trouble: CRLF. XML says when an XML processor sees "<string>\r\n<string>" (\r and \n here are two characters, in the C notation), it should present to the XML application "\n". But the binary data concept would suggest that the XML-RPC application should see "\r\n". Previous discussion seems to reach the consensus that it's better to follow XML than some interpretation of that misguided paragraph in the XML-RPC spec. One good reason to do this is so you can use standard XML processing software.(Continue reading)

O2 releases Android 2.1 update for Dell's Streak
Still no sign of Android 2.2 or Adobe Flash support
MOBILE OPERATOR O2 has rolled out Android 2.1 for Dell Streak users in the UK.
Dell's 5-inch Android smartphone tablet had been using the archaic Android 1.6 operating system since its launch. Dell has announced that Android 2.2, the current version of the Linux based operating system, will be arriving for its Streak at some point this year though it would not be drawn on specifics. So you can imagine the disappointment when users today were treated to a version that was debuted nine months ago and lacks Adobe Flash support.
Android 2.1 does bring some new features to Streak owners, with O2 pointing out that 720p video recording, improved multi-touch support and increased performance are all included. It also means that users can now enjoy applications that were designed for devices running Android 2.0 or newer.
Given the confusion and frustration that is reigning on its forums, we tried to get hold of the firm for a definitive answer. Alas we were first told that representatives were out to lunch, and presumably after downing a few bottles of Bolly celebrating the firm's rise back to number 2 in the sales charts, they apparently couldn't be bothered to get back to us.
With Samsung readying its Android 2.2 running Galaxy Tab for an October release, Streak owners will be hoping that the increased competition will jolt Dell into releasing Android 2.2 before it goes stale. µ

"Dogs!" – Erika
Ryan Salva holds coveted spot number nine spot here Office Nomads. Good thing he likes The Beatles (I caught him singing under his breath today). He may be the ninth regular monthly member, but Ryan started as daily drop in long ago. In fact, I don't really remember a time when he hasn't been around.
Ryan is one of the partners in Capitol Media, a web design and development agency which provides technology to support a host of online marketing endeavors. He and his other partners started the company in 2003 when one of his freelance clients came over to work with Ryan as a project manager. Before long, another client offered to incubate the newly forming company which Ryan says was an offer he just couldn't pass up.
When they started their company, Ryan that they thought the idea of a centralized office didn't seem to make sense. Although they never wanted to have official offices for Capitol Media, he and his partner did want that communal feel one finds in offices. In an attempt to make this happen, they held a 15-minute conference call at the start and end of the day between them and two other people. The effort didn't really work though and was soon killed off.
At the beginning, Ryan worked at home but says, "That drove me crazy because I was alone all the time." He moved to coffee shops like Capitol Hill's Online Coffee Company which he loved for the racket they provided. He then became a regular at daytime coffee shop/nighttime bar Liberty where the owner gave him a key so he could get in before opening time.
Although Ryan felt comfortable at Liberty, as a permanent space, it wasn't a good idea. Standing next to dumpsters in the rain to take phone calls got old he says. But he couldn't go home because of his need for that community feeling. Enter, Office Nomads.
Ryan started out coming in as a daily member and was often here three and four days a week. When he found himself bringing in collaborators, using the conference rooms and acting almost like a monthly member, he felt like it was time to get a monthly membership. It's worked out. "Just phone calls and emails don't give much of a sense of community," he says.
Membership at Office Nomads has an extra benefit for Ryan: It allows him to bring his five-month old long-haired Chihuahua Cortez the Killer in to work most days, something his girlfriend can't do at her office. "If he was left at home everyday, he'd be so pissed," Ryan says. Cortez is as important a part of the office here as any of our other members. His antics keep us all entertained and often provide a welcome distraction. He is also an excellent playmate for Stella, our other office dog.
All in all, Ryan is happy to be working at Office Nomads thanks to some welcoming distraction from his coworkers. If left to himself, he says, he'd sit at his desk for 12 hours at a stretch. Between us and Cortez, that doesn't happen so much anymore.
Stay tuned for our next installment of "Meet the Nomads." Next up: I Eight the Member!
Big news this week folks! Office Nomads welcomed our tenth monthly member! As the kids say, "W00t!"
We've been planning to profile each of our monthly members for
Regularly well this Ethylhexyl my the primepharmacy.com shop mascaras it everyones treatment, the high I.
some time now, but you know how things can get put off? Right, well since signing up the 10th member is big enough news for posting, we decided to start doing it here and now. Why, we thought, should we start with the first one? He gets all the press.
So please welcome Henrik to the Office Nomads world. He's a software product manager for Pace Systems Group and an all around cool guy. I think he's going to fit right in. The first thing he did when he signed up was to choose his desk which ended up being right next to mine. While we were talking on his first day, it took less than five minutes for him to tell me how he'll probably like hearing me be on the phone all the time because he's been stuck at home and isolated for so long.
A true Office Nomad.
As you can see, Henrik comes complete with a dog. Her name is Stella and she's a sweet as can be (she also gets along famously with Cortez the Killer). He's got a wife who stopped by the other day to give her approval of the new space (she liked it). Right now, he's trying
to get back into soccer-playing shape. (Ask him how his legs are feeling two days after his first game in a long time.)
Welcome Henrik (and Stella), to the Office Nomads fold!

|Computational and Applied Mathematics Colloquium
|Arnold Reusken, INSTITUT FÜR GEOMETRIE UND PRAKTISCHE MATHEMATIK
|Abstract Link:
|We consider a ow problem with two dierent immiscible incompressible new- tonian phases ( uid- uid or uid-gas). A standard model for this consists of the Navier-Stokes equations with a viscosity and density that are discontinuous across the interface and with a localized force at the interface that describes surface tension eects. This uid dynamics model can be coupled with a model for mass transport between the phases and a model for transport of surfac- tants on the interface. We discuss why the ecient and accurate numerical simulation of such models is a very challenging problem. Two topics, namely the discretization of the mass transport equation and the discretization of the surfactant equation on the evolving interface will be treated in more detail.

Reviews for Eggnog Thumbprints
"Very, very delicious, but a lot of work for 28 cookies. I would say 1 inch balls were too large! Try smaller balls. I also had to use additional nuts. And I doubled the rum extract in the frosting."
"One little thing from the original recipe, this one FORGOT to sprinkle nutmeg on top to give it the "rum plus nutmeg" eggnog taste, after piping the filling. I've been making these for years and it is one of my friends' and family's favorite cookie."
"My boss brought us some of these the nuts and frosting was a great combo but sweet."
"Maybe I did something wrong, but I made a batch & a half, and still didn't get 4 dozen cookies out of this recipe. I needed more nuts, too. The cookies were very yummy, though!"
"I love the flavor of eggnog. So this cookie is my favorite and I intend to make it for the cookie exchange with friends this year. It will take top honors as the best at the party."

Why I Love Apple But Don't Own An iPad
The unveiling of the third-generation iPad felt underwhelming to me. This is not a judgment on the merits of the new machine. After what happened with the debut of the initial iPad I am not inclined to make any snap judgments. The iPad's debut, for all its hype, now feels like an ocean of time ago. For one thing, we did not know what the iPad would become. For another, it was Steve Jobs who did the introducing. Yet I remember it vividly.
I don't think I've ever been more chastened by my reaction to a new Apple device as I was by that first iPad. My main sentiment the night of the unveiling was that the name was a mistake, an embarrassment. The iPad, as was widely commented on at the time, sounded like a brand of female sanitary napkin; it seemed as though Apple had performed a corporate version of a Freudian slip. Would there have been a similar outbreak of forehead-slapping sentiment had the product been some kind of transparent globe, a crystal ball with mapping features, perhaps, called the iBall? A magic wand called the iStick?
At any rate, the resistance extended beyond the name to the concept itself. I can still recall a quote on Twitter from humorist Joel Stein that seemed a model of both snideness and wisdom: "Just what I always wanted, a really large version of my iPhone," is how I remember it. I joined this chorus of doubters, fretfully wondering if it was too late to change the name to something less embarrassing.
That I was paying attention to the release of the new iPad was due, in part, to my team affiliation. Apple fans have been referred to as a cult, but I prefer the team analogy. It suggests an irrational but happy cathexis that reaches back to youth.
I saw my first Apple in 1984, when I was a sophomore at Vassar. It belonged to a jovial, hard-partying Junior named Albert. A curious beige box with a keyboard. He let me use it a couple of times. Of course I had used computers by then. But The Macintosh was enchanting. After a while he let me bring my own disc to put into the slot.
For some reason, my enthusiasm was not dampened when one day I heard animal-like howls of grief and despair coming through the dorm wall. The magic beige box had made the paper he wrote in an all night/all day marathon vanish. The machine had eaten his term paper, is probably how I thought of it, given our general immersion in the imagery of cassette tapes, but it had vanished into thin air. Some time later, sitting at that same machine, I had the same experience. It was level of horror that was nearly existential. Of course it still happens, these vanishing acts, the lost words, but it's rare, there are so many safeguards built in.
In my Junior year, with Albert no longer next door, I persuaded my grandmother to buy me a Macintosh of my own, which I proceeded to use for about eight years until I entered the laptop era with a PowerBook 170. Apple is the only brand of computer I have ever owned. Even in the Jobs-less late nineties, when the product got a bit lame, my loyalty was motivated by habit, but only to a point. It was also a kind of aesthetic pragmatism—everything else was so ugly. The computers were the least of it. Microsoft software was astonishingly ugly. Just about every piece of technology hardware and software outside the Apple universe was ghastly to look at. The first years of the internet, before things got more personalized and also much more slick and like television, were a horror show.
Apple was a refuge. That their products could be counted on to work, for the most part, was also important, as was the remarkably drugged, calm, reassuring manner in which their tech support staff would talk to you on the phone. There was a stage in my life when I called Apple tech support just to feel that problems can in fact be solved. It's like having a Zen coach on the phone working on your breathing technique. Psychedelics, Zen, severe managerial dickishness–none of this appealed to me, as a rule, but in the sanctified, exceptional world Steve Jobs made, all was forgiven, even applauded.
My affiliation goes beyond that of a happy customer. In 1995 I bought some stock. Given the venue for which I am writing it seems reasonable enough to disclose this, but in my circles, intellectual circles, talking about money is, as Vince Pasarro once observed, more taboo than talking about sex. I inherited a small sum and put it into four stocks. Three were recommended by the stock broker. Apple was my call. A whim. I had one, after all, and liked it. Obviously it was best investment I ever made–better than buying expiring calls in AT&T in late August of 1982, when the Dow opened in the morning at 711 and ended the day at 731, which was a one off.
Apple was for keeps. When I bought it I thought I'd never sell. Unfortunately I sold bits and pieces starting in 2003, dipping in now and then to cover shortfalls. It always felt surreptitious, like I was a booze hound who had hid pints of gin around the house for emergencies. Would that I had known then about the margin loan!
My tepid feelings about the new iPad may be due in part to the fact that I don't own an iPad. I want one, but for whatever reason I have been holding off. Maybe I'm waiting to reward myself for something, or afraid that the kid's already intense interest in the iPhone will be taken to another, nearly unmanageable level. Apple products have always been marketed as kid friendly, appealing to intuition and imagination, but the most serious complication to the recent beatification of Jobs was our understanding of him as a workaholic. His kids could enjoy his products but they didn't get much access to him.
My reaction may also be colored by the absence of Steve Jobs. But so far it seems as though the genius of Jobs has extended to the design and creation of the perfect apostle in current Apple CEO Tim Cook, all the way down to their body fat ratio and clothes. But I think it goes beyond that to the nature of Apple itself.
That my introduction to Apple came in 1984 will have resonance for Apple fans. For a company whose advertising has always had the quality of a manifesto, the 1984 Ad – a literal enactment of the Orwell novel – remains iconic. It was a statement of ethos. Do not be a drone like everyone else, it said. This theme later re-emerged as, "Think Different."
I noticed that the new iPad video starts off with another evocation of Orwell. In his essay, "Why I Write" he describes the ideal of prose to be a pane of glass that lets you see through it to the subject it is depicting. The video makes this claim for the iPad, but by extension it feels like it is speaking about the company as a whole. Apple is on an incredible run. Of course that could change. It's a vicious business. Their opponents are very capable and make lots of money, too. But right now Apple feels like a monolith.
Apple is no longer a tasteful David throwing a stone at vulgar Goliath. It is a pane of glass through which we see the world, ubiquitous, a utility. We live in the age of mini-storage and clutter, hoarding as reality TV topic. Apple has been a kind of alter-ego and antidote to all this, the thing from China that helps remove all that clutter in our lives, much of which also comes from China.
Orwell, in "Why I Write," alludes to the fact that writing will always have a political content, no matter how translucent. The new iPad, it has been noted, is not a category killer; it is the category. I suppose there were people who loved AT&T when it was the only phone company, but I don't imagine it made them feel brave, dangerous, singular, exceptional. Of course it is absurd to impute these feelings to a corporation. And yet. With the new iPad I have the feeling we have entered the era of Ma Jobs.

|Randomized models and continuous logic
|Department of Mathematics Colloquium
|H. Jerome Keisler, University of Wisconsin
|Intuitively, a randomization of a mathematical structure M is a new structure whose elements are random elements of M. In many cases, the random elements of M have properties analogous to those of the original elements of M. For example, a randomization of the ordered field R of real numbers is a structure whose elements are random reals -- measurable functions from some underlying probability space into R. Similarly, one can form randomizations of any other structure, such as the ring of integers, the field of complex numbers, a group, a Boolean algebra, or a directed graph. Moral of this lecture: In an extremely general setting, many properties are preserved by the operation of randomization. Some of the work is joint with Itai Ben Yaacov.

Troy University's Troy Campus is officially a Tree Campus. For those of you unfamiliar with the Tree Campus USA® designation through the Arbor Day Foundation, colleges and universities are eligible to apply for this recognition if they can meet the following criteria for sustainable campus forestry:
1. Establishment of a Tree Advisory Committee
2. Campus tree-care plan
3. Dedicated budget for the campus tree program
4. Arbor Day observance
5. Student service-learning projects
At the dedication today, which coincided with the University's observance of Arbor Day, Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr., Chancellor of Troy University, thanked the groups and individuals involved in making this dream a reality. They include representatives from the Alabama Forestry Commission, Choctawhatchee Pea and Yellow Rivers Watershed Management Authority, City of Troy Parks & Recreation as well as University personnel. Chancellor Hawkins also reminded the crowd of a Native American saying, "we don't inherit the earth from our ancestors, we have simply borrowed it from our children." This idea of "good stewardship of the earth" falls in line with the Arbor Day Foundation's mission statement of inspiring people to plant, nurture and celebrate trees as well as the University's commitment to beautification.
Chancellor Hawkins also mentioned that the Geomatics and Biology Departments of Troy University are working on a virtual inventory map of every tree on campus. As part of the campus tree-care plan, whenever a tree has to be removed, the University is dedicated to replacing it.
During the dedication, Cliff Hastings of the Alabama Forestry Commission presented Chancellor Hawkins with a Tree Campus USA® plaque and banner. Yet the highlight of the dedication was a tree planting ceremony in the front of Wright Hall in which representatives from most of the groups listed above partook in a shoveling ceremony.
Following the closing, the Alabama Forestry Commission gave out Shumard's Oak and Bald Cypress saplings to encourage attendees to plant trees at home.

In front of a raucous crowd of almost 40,000 fight fans at the Alamo Dome in San Antonio, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KOs) handed Austin "No Doubt" Trout (26-1, 14 KOs) his first professional loss. Judges at ringside scored the bout 115-112, 116-111 and 118-109 for the undefeated Mexican , who solidified himself as one of the top fighters in the sport.
"I rose to the occasion and won the fight," said Alvarez after the win.
Alvarez started the bout differently than most experts expected. The WBC titlist focused on timing Trout's long range punches from a distance. Canelo had his moments, but Trout took the round with a sharp, clean jab. In the second, Alvarez cut the distance. Trout tried to box but Alvarez was able to make him miss more than the New Mexican resident had hoped. A left hook and right uppercut combination gave Alvarez the harder and cleaner shots.
Trout landed showy jabs in the third, but Alvarez was walking him down. Trout used clever boxing to keep it close, but Alvarez landed hard power shots throughout. In the fourth, Alvarez began slipping Trout's steady jab. The 22-year-old was having success at a distance.
The fifth round was active. Alvarez landed harder shots that moved his opponent with real force. More than that, his defense made the ever punching Trout miss more and more. At one point, Alvarez smirked at the usually sure-fisted Trout after making him miss three to four shots in a row.
Trout did good work in the sixth. Alvarez seemed to be conserving energy but no matter, it was Trout's finest work yet.
At the beginning of the seventh, a hard one-two put the hardworking Trout down to the mat for the first time in his career. He rose valiantly to his feet and fought back hard. Canelo stunned him with a right hook. Trout came back with jabs and uppercuts, but couldn't seem to hurt his opponent.
Trout boxed well in the eighth. Alvarez continued to make him miss and even took a little time to showboat a little after making him miss. Still, Alvarez didn't land many punches and Trout did.
In the ninth, Trout landed good combinations but Alvarez kept him at bay with hard right hands--the kind that floored him earlier in the fight.
Open scoring let Trout know he needed a knockout to win, so in the tenth he came out guns blazing. Trout was over aggressive at times and was hit with a hard uppercut that buckled him. Alvarez played it safe but still came away with the harder, cleaner shots.
Alvarez appeared tired in the eleventh. Trout tried to capitalize but left himself open to another buckling uppercut.
In the twelfth, Trout stayed busy but it was too late. Alvarez played it safe and countered on occasion, but he knew he had it in the bag so was content to take home the victory by decision.
After the fight, Showtime's Jim Gray asked Alvarez if he was ready to face pound-for-pound star Floyd Mayweather.
"Maybe...maybe," he said. "Viva Mexico!"
Trout was all class afterwards.
"He was the better man than me," he said. "I have no excuses."
The win unified the WBC and WBA junior middleweight titles.
Other bouts
In the televised undercard on Showtime, lightweight Omar Figueroa (21-0-1, 17 KOs) destroyed Abner Cotto (16-1, 7 KOs) in one round. Figueroa dropped Cotto twice with body shots, the second time for good. The referee halted the action at 2:57.
Unbeaten junior middleweight Jermall Charlo (13-0, 9 KOs) decimated Orlando Lora (29-4-2, 19 KOs) over four one-sided rounds. Lora's corner stopped the fight after their man appeared bloodied and beaten in the corner.
Finally, junior middleweight Terrell Gausha (4-0, 2 KOs) got off the deck in the first round to defeat the hapless William Walters (2-4, 2 KOs) in a four-rounder. The scores read 38-37 all three ways for the 2012 Olympian.
Definitely not a unanimous victory for Canelo. A split decision maybe. Canelo looked surprisingly tired for a young fighter. If only Trout had more power.
Actually, there should be no such thing as a split decision.
Hey, Ddv, WHY no split decisions? What about draws? Way, way back in da day, the powers that be tried to eliminate draws by having fighters to fight an extra draw-breaking round. That was whacky and didn't last as you see. The then rugrat Radam G remember a classic bout between Rafael Rodriquez and Bruce Curry. It was sheduled for 10 rounds, but was even, so they went to the 11, where as Curry got the nod.
I'm willing to bet that TV powers halted extra-round fights to break draws because of running over time for TV shows and commercials. Holla!
The shortcomings of both fighters were revealed in this fight. Trout has no power, Canelo's footwork and stamina are suspect. Of the two, Canelo can continue to improve with proper coaching.
Ditto jzzy! Both fighters can improve their game with proper coaching. Trout apparently hasn't been taught the complete-pro style of punching because of his thus-so-far success of amateur-like pro fighting of soft punching and stepping while still doing soft jive. Dude never turned his arse or his shoulders into his shots, or sit down on 'em.
He was just doing arm-punching amateurish stuff -- absolutely no snap, crackle, POP! A better-conditioned Canelo may have kayoed Austin after that knockdown. Holla!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?
