STANFORD, Calif. - Behind rookie pitcher Nyree White, the No. 10 Stanford softball team shut out James Madison, 4-0, Friday, in the Louisville Slugger Classic at Smith Family Stadium. The Cardinal moves to 21-3 overall, winning its 15th straight game, while the Dukes drop to 8-9 on the season.
Nyree White earned the start in the circle, tossing her second complete game of the season and improving to 2-2. She finished with three strikeouts and threw just 12 balls the entire game. It marks the first shutout of her career. James Madison's Sarah Mooney took the loss, falling to 3-5.
Both teams were held scoreless until the fourth inning. Junior Jenna Rich led off the bottom of the inning with a single up the middle. She advanced to second as sophomore Corey Hanewich drew a walk. The runners advanced on the next play as senior Jenna Becerra laid down a sacrifice bunt. Rich scored as sophomore Tegan Schmidt reached on a fielder's choice, picking up the RBI.
Stanford added three more runs in the bottom of the fifth, all with two outs on the scoreboard. Freshman Leah White, who reached on a fielder's choice, advanced to second as senior Ashley Hansen was issued a walk. Hanewich then brought Leah White home with a single up the middle. Becerra hit a single to centerfield, scoring Hansen. She and Hanewich each took another base as the Dukes tried to make the play at home. Schmidte, the next batter, recorded an infield single to score Hanewich and push the lead to 4-0.
Stanford will then continue the Louisville Slugger Classic on Saturday, March 10 with a double-header against Colorado State at 11:15 a.m. and Ole Miss at 1:30 p.m. at Smith Family Stadium.

L or D or L+D?
The majority of the peptide-building amino acids and most of the monosaccharides (glucose, ribose, etc.) in all earthly life forms consist of the "left-handed", or "L" and "right-handed", or "D" isomers, respectively. Of course, this doesn't mean that the amino acids and monosaccharides of every known organism have been checked and found to conform this rule. What it means that no exceptions have been found in those instances when such tests were made. So it is assumed that all life forms contain mostly L-amino acids and mostly D-monosaccharides. This is probably a safe assumption, because once the isomeric configuration of a group of molecules, for example, amino acids, has been fixed during evolution, everything else would then be complementary, for example, the configurations of substrates that bind to active sites of proteins and therefore, switching from one stereo isomer to another would require a whole set of simultaneously occurring changes, and ultimately, mutations. That is not a very likely thing to happen for obvious reasons.
But that doesn't mean that 2 separate lineages of organisms, one lineage using one stereo isomer of say, amino acids and the other the other stereo isomer can't evolve right from the beginning.
In a recent post, Pascal at Research at a snail's pace, mentioned that if amino acids of only one chiral form (L or D) are found on another planet or comet or some other extraterrestrial body, this will be a strong evidence that they were produced by alien life forms. I should add here that ordinary chemical reactions normally produce a racemic mixture of amino acids or monosaccharides consisting of about equal amounts of each stereo isomer.
Although Pascal is not claiming to be the originator of this idea, I should nevertheless mention, to prevent any misunderstandings that I may be thought to be criticizing him, that the hypothesis that the presence of only one stereo isomer of amino acids on an another planet may be an indication of extraterrestrial life has been around for a long time.
But how strong a hypothesis is it?
1. There could be some inorganic chemical or physical mechanism that we, earth-bound misfits, haven't discovered yet and which concentrates one stereo isomer preferentially over the other.
This means that the detection of only one stereo isomer of amino acids on, say, a meteorite, doesn't necessarily mean that they were produced by extraterrestrial life forms.
2. As suggested above, 2 independent lineages of life forms using different stereo isomers of essential building blocks of their bodies could evolve and be present simultaneously on the same planet. Just because this didn't happen on earth doesn't mean that it couldn't have happened elsewhere.
This means that the detection of a racemic mixture of amino acids on a comet or a planet doesn't necessarily rule out the presence of life there.

Five in 100 Americans Get Scammed by Fraudsters
More than 5 per cent of Americans were scammed by identity fraudsters last year, according to a report by Javelin Strategy and Research.
In 2012, identity fraud increased for a second consecutive year, especially because of new account and account takeover fraud, two of the most dangerous scams. The company said the number of victims rose to 12.6 million.
At least half of the losses were absorbed by financial institutions and merchants. Other victims weren't so lucky and bore the cost of fraud, which increased to $365 per person in 2012, from $354 the previous year.
In account takeover fraud, cyber-criminals change the victim's contact information and hijack their account, whereas in new account fraud, they use victims' identity to open accounts in their name. Identity thieves usually steal personal details through data breaches and malware attacks.
"By changing consumer contact information, fraudsters can limit the consumer's ability to be notified of fraud while redirecting any newly requested payment cards," Javelin said. "The misuse of store-branded cards could allow fraud to go undetected longer, as these accounts are less likely to be reviewed or used than general-use credit cards."
The Javelin data was based on a survey of more than 5,200 U.S. adults, including 857 who were fraud victims in the past six years.

SANDMAN to KINGDOM COME, one face keeps coming back. By Andrew
Wheeler and Christopher Butcher.
of the things that make artist Jill Thompson so very unique is
that there are just so very many of her. Ms. Thompson has the
great honour of being one of the few creators to serve as a model
for a wonderful variety of characters. Every month in PopImage,
our Beyond feature explores one of the great mainstays of comics
fiction, such as vigilantes, femme fatales and talking animals,
and the iconic variations thereof. This month, we present a one-off
exclusive in honour of the many faces of Jill Thompson.
- When Edgar Allan Poe wrote the short horror story "The Fall
of the House of Usher", it was generations before Jill Thompson
was ever born. Even so, when Berkley/First Publishing launched
a series of CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED books -including ROBINSON CRUSOE,
DON QUIXOTE and MOBY DICK - it was Jill whom artist Jay Geldhof
used as the model for Madeline in his adaptation of USHER. The
character of Madeline Usher is a mad, tragic, haunting figure,
and probably the most severe and unflattering depiction of Jill
Thompson to date.
QUEEN OF THE NIGHT - Artist P. Craig Russell clearly regards
Jill Thompson as a favourite muse. He has used her as inspiration
on a number of occassions, including as a villainous scientist
in a BATMAN: ELSEWORLDS story featuring Poison Ivy. Any
time a tall, thin redhead appears in a Russell comic, it is probably
in some way inspired by Jill. In Russell's wonderful operatic
adaptations, for example, she appears as the wicked and vengeful
Salome, and as the Queen of the Night, Melisande in Eclipse's
adaptation of Mozart's THE MAGIC FLUTE.
DELIRIUM - Although rumours still persist that the original
model for Delirium of the Endless was singer Tori Amos - a close
friend to creator Neil Gaiman - she's actually a composite of
many ideas and people that Neil Gaiman had encountered. However,
the character was more frequently drawn by Jill than by any other
artist. It was therefore quite natural that Delirium should come
to look like Jill. In the words of Neil Gaiman, from the Sandman
Compendium; "[Jill] put a lot of herself into Delirium, in terms
of body language, facial expressions, and so on. ... Lots of Delirium's
mannerisms, the way she holds her body and so on, are things that
Jill does."
ETAIN OF THE SECOND LOOK - As the principle
artist on SANDMAN: BRIEF LIVES, Jill Thompson ended
up making a brief guest appearance almost by mistake. When Neil
Gaiman told Jill there would be a three-page scene in issue 43
in which a lady's house blew up, Jill decided she would use her
own house and its contents as the model. Neil took the idea a
step further, and suggested Jill draw herself as the woman, Etain
of the Second Look. In Neil's words, "Jill has a cool, unique
RAGGED ROBIN - Jill denies that she was the
direct inspiration for the Invisibles' time-travelling harlequin
witch, but the original physical resemblance is striking. Robin
and Jill are both slender-faced women with auburn hair, and a
greater resemblance crept in while Jill herself was pencilling
the book. The resemblance diminished under the supervision of
later artists Phil Jiminez and Brian Bolland, but even today Robin
remains a recognisable part of the Jill Thompson catalogue.
- In Alex Ross and Mark Waid's KINGDOM COME, the DC universe
is portrayed a generation hence, and includes a cast of hundreds.
In among the many faces is Jill Thompson, as the daughter of the
famed Batman villain the Joker. Jill is friends with KINGDOM
COME artist Alex Ross, and they're both alumni of the same
art school. It's also worth noting that Alex painted in Jill's
husband, 100 BULLETS author Brian Azzarello, as villain
SCARY GODMOTHER - In Jill Thompson's wonderful creator-owned
children's series SCARY GODMOTHER, a little girl named
Hannah befriends the monster that lives under her bed and crosses
through her wardrobe into the Fright Side. The story of a child
who can enter into a fantasy world is a common concept, but SCARY
GODMOTHER has a Tim Burton twist, in which the creator tries
to take some of the horror out of scary things. The central figure
in the Fright Side is the eponymous Scary Godmother, a sassy,
glamourous witch, based on Jill herself. The Scary Godmother is
espescially notable because she's the only Jill Thompson-inspired
character that Jill created. The Scary Godmother is also the character
closest to Jill's own thoughts, as (being the Queen of Halloween)
she shares Jill's love of Halloween (and a good scare!).
JILL THOMPSON - The original. Jill's personal bearing is
energetic and friendly, which makes her a great person to meet
and to talk to. Her energy comes through in both the work she
does, and the characters that are inspired by her, and we're very
grateful she allowed us to do this feature. To find out more about
the real Jill Thompson, check

Turkey Gets Pardon From 'Terrible and Delicious Fate'
By Mary Lu Carnevale
The White House has had a lot of fun with the official turkey-pardoning ceremony this year.
First, there was The Preview.
And at today's official ceremony, the president offered a few one-liners as he stood with his daughters, Malia and Sasha on the White House's North Portico to officially pardoned "Courage," letting him and a stand-in, "Carolina," take up residence at Disneyland. Only in America.
–"Today, I am pleased to announce that thanks to the interventions of Malia and Sasha — because I was planning to eat this sucker — 'Courage' will also be spared this terrible and delicious fate."
– In explaining that he and his family "will take two of their less fortunate brethren to Martha's Table," he alluded to the stimulus package: "So today, all told, I believe it's fair to say that we have saved or created four turkeys."
– "You know, there are certain days that remind me of why I ran for this office. And then there are moments like this where I pardon a turkey and send it to Disneyland."
–And he recalled that President Abraham Lincoln made the decision to make Thanksgiving a national holiday "in the midst of the Civil War, just when the future of our very union was most in doubt. So think about that. When times were darkest, President Lincoln understood that our American blessings shined brighter than ever."
–"Now, before this turkey gets too nervous that Bo will escape and screw up this or before I change my mind, I hereby pardon 'Courage' so that he can live out the rest of his days in peace and tranquility in Disneyland."

The Romans had come in and taken over Israel and the Jews had to obey Roman laws. After Jesus was killed and rose again the eleven disciples who were left began preaching about Him. It made the Hebrew priests mad. They were afraid that the disciples would stir up trouble and cause problems with the Romans.
Then, along came a man named Saul who chased the Christians and had them jailed and sometimes killed. He was terrible! Then one day God hit Saul with a blinding light, he fell off his horse and heard God scolding him for tormenting the Christians. Saul believed God and changed his ways and started preaching about Jesus himself. His name was changed to Paul.
After preaching for several years, Paul got arrested for being a Christian. But nobody could punish him without permission from the great Caesar because he was a Roman Citizen. They put him in handcuffs and sent him on a ship with some other prisoners across the Mediterranean Sea to Rome. Paul's friend, a doctor named Luke, went with him.
The ship stopped at Sidon, a city on the coast of Palestine, and then went on westward past the Isle of Cyprus and stopped. The winds were not blowing in the direction of Rome so they got to the Isle of Crete and found a place called Fair Havens.
It was getting late in the year toward the stormy season. Paul told the Captain that they had better stay there because he had been warned by God that it was dangerous to go back out to sea. But the ship's master said that he was an experienced sailor and he was sure they would be fine. So, they took off again. And "the southwind blew softly." They believed all was fine.
Suddenly the wind changed! It howled and blew the ship off course and swamped the boat with water! The sailors took down the sails and tied everything down on the ship. It didn't help. The ship was thrown all over and tossed every direction.
The next day they started throwing everything overboard. The sailors and the prisoners hung on the best they could. They were still in big trouble. They were afraid they would drown.
For days there was no letup in the storm. It was wild and dark and terrible! Paul said, "I told you we should have stayed at Fair Havens, but an angel came to me and told me that we are going to make it anyway! We are going to land on an island."
It was fourteen days they fought that storm. In the dark of one night they realized that there was land someplace near. Finally it looked like the ship was going to break apart so they tried to get on a lifeboat. Paul said, "Stay on board if you want to be saved!" So they did.
Finally they cut the ropes of the anchors and let the wind and ocean currents drive the ship into a little creek. The ship rammed aground and the back of it began to break up. Some of the men yelled, "The prisoners will escape! We have to kill them." but the Captain stopped them. He told everybody to jump overboard and hang onto broken pieces of the ship.
They did. They found themselves on an island. Friendly natives built a fire and helped them get warm and dry out of the cold rain.
They were saved because Paul believed God!

text: So in the modding section rules there is this under the list of things that your mod cannot be: "Nothing that distributes the game code" I've browsed google a bit, but answers still seem somewhat ambiguous as to what is and isn't allowed here. More specificially, does distributing the source code refer to distributing the actual source code (cs files, etc.) or does it also refer to the compiled source code? To take a solid example and settle this once and for all, say I make a Terraria.exe, and that's my mod. Would that technically be all right to distribute according to the aforementioned rule (so long as it still requires steam to open), or not? Thanks in advance.

Red Capitalism in 1950s China
Christopher Leighton, 2009-10 CEAS Postdoctoral Fellow in Chinese Studies,Stanford University
Even after the 1949 Communist revolution, private Chinese businesses continued. Some erstwhile capitalists became part of the new China, winning consultative roles, government positions, and even symbolic recognition -- woven into the nation as one of the four small stars on China's new flag. Examining this episode of early PRC history sheds light on how the story of China's present boom owes much to the socialization of Chinese capitalism in the 1950s. Christopher Leighton is an Assistant Professor of History (on leave 2009 - 2010) at MIT. He received his Ph.D. (2009) in History and East Asian Languages from Harvard University.

I know my way around Ubuntu, but Suse is new to me. At work I've been given a task that requires me to install software, pdftk specifically, on our remote servers.
Googling around led me to look for zypper as a way to do it, but for some reason I can't seem to find zypper on these machines. Is it because I'm not logging in as root? (I did look in /sbin and /usr/sbin and zypper doesn't appear to be there).
Also, I found an autoinstall.xml file on our internal web server. Would it be of any use, or is it just something that was probably used when the long-gone linux admin set these boxes up to begin with?
What is the recommended way to install?

College Hockey:With a veteran roster, Merrimack eyes the next step up the standings
For the last few years, the doubters have looked at Merrimack's losses to graduation and said, "OK, so this is the year they drop back down to the cellar."
Not this time.
The Warriors lost only defenseman Kyle Bigos and role-playing forward John Heffernan from last season's squad, one that remained in contention until the last couple weeks of the season and finished only five points out of first place.
With a veteran squad, Merrimack could be in the title hunt all year long.
"It makes for a lot less mentoring and a little more coaching," Merrimack coach Mark Dennehy says. "We've got a lot of familiarity with how we want to play and the strengths and weaknesses of our players. There really was much more fine-tuning that went on this offseason than in years past.
"With that said, last year wasn't good enough, so we need to get five points better. But we have both goaltenders back, our defensive corps should remain strong, and now hopefully [everyone] is a little bit stronger, a little bit faster and maybe a little more confident. With that, we can get more consistent offensively and on the power play."
Sam Marotta and Rasmus Tirronen return between the pipes. Dennehy played the hot hand, but for the most part, Marotta took the lead.
"Both guys played really well in certain stretches," Dennehy says. "It got to the point where Sam kind of took the reins and ran with it, but we also were confident enough to throw Raz in there late in the season.
"Both guys came back in good shape, they're both confident and they both know where they fit."
The defense, led by Jordan Heywood, who finished second on the team in scoring, isn't bashful about jumping into the play.
"We've had at least three defensemen in the top scoring by position each of the last four years," Dennehy says. "We want our defensemen getting up in the play. We think [when we're] five-on-five, if they're not looking to jump into the offense then there's not going to be much offense."
Up front, Mike Collins doesn't get as much attention as other top scorers in the league but is an underrated threat. Behind him are a host of forwards with single-digit goals and double-digit points.
"Michael has been great for us from day one, but I think you're going to see [five or six] guys take their game to another level," Dennehy says.
"We had a lot of freshmen in the lineup last year that were called upon to play more than maybe they were capable of, but that experience should pay off. It's still going to be scoring by committee, but I think there will be more opportunities."
About the Warriors
2012-13 overall record: 15-17-6
2012-13 Hockey East record: 13-11-3 (sixth)
2013-14 predicted finish: Seventh
Key losses: F John Heffernan, D Kyle Bigos
Players to watch: F Mike Collins, F Shawn Bates, F Connor Toomey, D Justin Heywood, D Brendan Ellis, D Dan Kolomatis, G Sam Marotta
Impact rookies: F Hampus Gustafsson, F Chris LeBlanc, D Craig Wyszomirski, D Jonathan Lashyn
Why the Warriors will finish higher than predicted: The Warriors finished only five points out of first place and lost less talent than any other team.
Why the Warriors will finish lower than predicted: Given the margin between them and the lower four teams in the league last year — a larger gap than with first place — they'd really disappoint if they finish lower than seventh. But the margin between winning and losing remains tiny, so any lack of focus could still be fatal.

MTSU implemented the Next Step Program nearly twoo years ago.
Although there are a number of valuable resources available for at-risk and in-need college students, they key to securing such assistance is often simply learning about such aid.
In turn, I recently learned about a program at MTSU that is aimed at helping disadvantaged and underserved students; namely, the Next Step Program, which was initiated two years ago by the Murfreesboro-based university's Academic Support Center, known as ASC.
Specifically, Next Step initially was designed to help ease the transition to college for those students coming out of the foster-care system to MTSU. And to learn more about the program, I recently consulted Becca Seul, M.S., a Certified Family Life Educator, program coordinator for MTSU's Next Step Program and an ASC adviser.
The following was penned by Seul about the Next Step endeavor, and those who know someone who may benefit from the program, or better yet, current or potential MTSU students who think they may qualify for the program are urged to contact Seul in MTSU's ASC at the contact number provided below.
A message from MTSU's Seul about the Next Step Program
As academic advisers, we knew there were many unique challenges that these students often face, from obtaining financial aid to needing year-round housing, and everything in between. We trained staff members across campus in numerous offices to help with this transition. Collectively, liaisons in Admissions, Financial Aid, Housing, Academic Advising and Student Support Services work together to help this population of students not only get to MTSU, but to succeed here, too.
Becca Seul, M.S., oversees MTSU's Next Step
Program designed to aid students who are
transitioning from foster care to college life.
Since its inception, the program has evolved into something bigger, something that serves the needs of these students as well as the underlying effects their background can bring. We now include participants from many different backgrounds and scenarios, including former foster-care youth, homeless and at-risk of homelessness youth, and those students entering as independent minors.
In my view, the most beneficial part of the Next Step program is that we have a group of mentors involved every step of the way. These mentors are current MTSU students who are from similar backgrounds and have now become successful students and graduates. These volunteer participants return to help our program semester after semester, offering to peer support and encouragement to our newest students.
Moreover, these mentors know the challenges associated with their independent status and have "been there and done that." Thus, they're eager to work with Next Step's newest students to help make achieving college success a little easier on them.
Our program, nonetheless, faces a big challenge in that we need the help of the MTSU community. Many of the youths we interact with from foster care, homelessness and independent status aren't—and weren't—aware that attending college was a viable option for them, not to mention that most or all of it could be paid for via outside means. However, through our partnerships with the Department of Children's Services and the Tennessee Youth Advisory Council, we have been able to identify numerous youth in need of our program and its services, with many more still coming in weekly.
However, we fear there are still those being missed. My plea to you, the MTSU community, is this: If you know of any students coming to MTSU—or even currently enrolled students—whom you feel may benefit from this program, please let me know or pass along my contact information.
The Next Step mentors and I are excited about the possibilities this program holds and the far-reaching effects we could have on these students, but we can help if we don't know who needs our help. It is our mission to reach every student who can benefit from our program and services. Needless to say, the transition to college can be challenging for all students. With many other life hurdles and obstacles to overcome, this particular student population could use some extra support, and that's what we're here for and why we work so hard to make this Next Step a success.
So again, if you have any questions about the program or know of a student or potential student who could use our assistance, please feel free to send them my way.
For more info: To learn more about the program, please access www.mtsu.edu/nextstep or contact Seul directly via e-mail at email@example.com or by calling 615-494-8910.

Investing strategicallyFebruary 03,2014
The world has come a long way since the Soviet Union collapsed in 1989. The quest for military advantage is now overshadowed by the critical competition for political and economic superiority.
The fear of nuclear war, so much an accepted aspect of the Cold War, has been supplanted by a seemingly endless struggle between Russia and western nations for international influence.
And now Europeans are beginning to wonder if the United States is still committed to its long-standing participation in their security arrangements.
Meanwhile, the continuing anti-government protests in Ukraine, which began in November over whether the former Soviet satellite should establish trading links with Europe or continue to accept Moscows economic domination, triggered an exchange of verbal hostilities between Moscow and both European and American governments this past weekend.
The aspirations of citizens are once again being trampled beneath corrupt, oligarchic interests interests that use money to stifle political opposition and dissent, to buy politicians and media outlets, and to weaken judicial independence and the rights of non-governmental organizations, Secretary of State John Kerry declared.
What does incitement of increasingly violent street protests have to do with promoting democracy? retorted Russias foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov. Why dont we hear condemnations of those who seize and hold government buildings, burn, torch the police, use racist and anti-Semitic and Nazi slogans?
Moscows position is that Ukraine is a natural economic and political ally of Russia because of its similar culture and its geographic setting. But the protesters in Kiev and other Ukrainian cities dont see it that way. They see Europe as the better model for their nations future. Most Americans, with their own tradition of democracy and their deep distrust of Moscow, agree.
As important as Ukraines problems may be, they were by no means the only topic on the agenda at the international security summit in Munich this past weekend.
Kerry and Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel both attended the summit and sought to reassure Americas skeptical European allies that the Obama administrations views on a range of issues, including the situation in Ukraine and the shifting American position on deploying troops overseas, are justified.
Hagel said that after 12 years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan in which the Pentagon took a primary role in foreign policy, the Obama administration had decided that it is time to place more emphasis on traditional diplomacy.
Over the last year, John and I have both worked to restore balance to the relationship between American defense and diplomacy, Hagel observed. The transatlantic partnership has been successful because of the judicious use of both diplomacy and defense.
Kerry called for what he described as a trans-Atlantic renaissance characterized by greater efforts to improve all manner of cooperation between the United States and its European allies in NATO.
European leaders fret that the United States is losing interest in international intervention. They know that American military forces in Europe are down 70 percent and that the almost 80 percent of its installations have been closed since the end of the Cold War.
In the face of budget constraints here on the Continent, as well as in the U.S., we must all invest more strategically to protect military capability and readiness, Hagel explained. The question is not just how much we spend, but how we spend together. Its not just burdens we share, but opportunities, as well.
That view would seem to correspond with the priorities of the American people who may often wonder why so many of their sons and daughters are deployed to such an essentially peaceful continent.MORE IN LettersI agree wholeheartedly with Walt Amses in his article about the urgent need for reasonable gun...

I am trying to interpolate a function defined over a three-dimensional real space: $$f: R^3\rightarrow R\\(x,y,z)\rightarrow f(x,y,z)$$ Let assume I have $N_1 N_2 N_3$ points in the space which form my grid for this interpolation, and the multivariate series $$F(x,y,z)=\sum_{a=0}^{N_1-1} \sum_{b=0}^{N_2-1} \sum_{c=0}^{N_3-1} C_{abc} x^a y^b z^c$$ is the chosen interpolator. In order to find the coefficients I should form the following sets of equations: $$\sum_{a=0}^{N_1-1} \sum_{b=0}^{N_2-1} \sum_{c=0}^{N_3-1} C_{abc} x_i^a y_i^b z_i^c=f_i=f(x_i,y_i,z_i)\,\mbox{, where, }i=1,\ldots,N_1 N_2 N_3\,,$$ and then solve for the coefficients. However, for this I first need to write the above set of linear equations in the standard form $$A\vec{x}=\vec{b}$$ wherein, $A$ is the matrix of coefficients, $\vec{x}$ is the vector of unknowns, and $b=\{f_i\}_1^{N_1 N_2 N_3}$ is the known vector. For this to be done I would require to expand the multivariate power series in the form of a single variable series, that is, $$\sum_{a=0}^{N_1-1} \sum_{b=0}^{N_2-1} \sum_{c=0}^{N_3-1} C_{abc} x_i^a y_i^b z_i^c=\sum_{m=0}^{(N_1-1)(N_2-1)(N_3-1)} C_m \eta_i^m$$ wherein $\eta_i=\eta_i(x_i,y_i,z_i)$ and probably $m=a b c$. OF course the expansion needs to be nontrivial and useful.
Is it possible at all? Any suggestion to find the coefficients more practically?
Regards, owari
Maybe it appears that the most natural way for solving this problem is comprised of the following steps:
first solve for the coefficients of $$\sum_{a=0}^{N_1-1} E_a(y,z) x_i^a=f(x_i,y,z)\,\mbox{, where, }i=1,\ldots,N_1\,,$$
then solve for the coefficients of $$\sum_{b=0}^{N_2-1} D_{ab}(z) y_i^b=E_a(y_i,z)\,\mbox{, where, }i=1,\ldots,N_2\,\mbox{, and, }a=0,\ldots,N_1-1$$
and finally solve for the coefficients of $$\sum_{c=0}^{N_2-1} C_{abc} z_i^c=D_{ab}(z_i)\,\mbox{, where, }i=1,\ldots,N_3\,,\,a=0,\ldots,N_1-1\mbox{, and, }b=0,\ldots,N_2-1$$
which gives the coefficients we were looking for. However, this way, the first two steps will be working with function-type coefficients instead of numerical coefficients and that will prevent efficient usage of the available codes in numerical analysis. Solving for each set of coefficients at each step for different grid points would also inevitably increase the number of equations drastically, so any better suggestion to solve for this problem?

Tornado touches down in Volusia County
An EF-0 tornado touched down in Volusia County Friday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.
The twister, with winds of 65 to 85 mph, caused heavy damage at Massey Ranch Air Park in Edgewater.
Three hangers had sections of the roof ripped off and two planes were flipped over.
There are also reports of trees down and damaged to nearby neighborhoods.
No injuries were reported.

Hemispherx Biopharma has announced that one of its advanced stage biological products, Alferon(R) N, significantly inhibited the replication of the MERS virus in vitro. Alferon(R) N has previously shown to be active against SARS-CoV, which swept thru China a few years ago.
Over 400 cases of MERS infection, including over 100 deaths, have been reported to date, with more than 200 new cases emerging just last month, including the first in the US diagnosed in a man who recently arrived from Saudi Arabia.
Known officially as Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome, MERS, which was originally identified in that region, has also claimed its first victims in Southeast Asia killing a Malaysian man who returned from pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia according to WHO. Although he did not contract the disease during the past hajj, infectious disease specialists have been concerned that the illness could spread far afield by the millions of pilgrims who come to the Saudi holy city of Mecca each year for the Muslim pilgrimage. Most of the identified cases have been in Saudi Arabia. However, an increasing numbers are being reported in the Gulf countries. Europe has reported a handful of cases, all with links to the Middle East. About half of the current cases have involved health workers.

This is a follow-up to this question: Localization of finite modules, or: compatibility of ideal norms with localization at a prime number
Let $K$ be an algebraic number field and $N:\mathcal{I}(\mathcal{O}_K)\to \mathbb{Z}$ be $N(\mathfrak{a})=\# (\mathcal{O}_K/\mathfrak{a})$, where $\mathcal{I}(\mathcal{O}_K)$ denotes the set of non-zero ideals of $\mathcal{O}_K$.
Let $S\subset \mathcal{O}_K$ be a multiplicative subset. Is there a way to make sense of a "norm of ideals" in $S^{-1}\mathcal{O}_K$ that is "compatible" with the norm of $\mathcal{O}_K$?
I'm especially interested in the case $S=\mathbb{Z}\setminus p \mathbb{Z}$, where $p$ is a prime number.
In the previous question the answer by froggie immediately shows that we can't naively define it (in this special case) as the cardinality of the quotient.
I know the question is vaguely phrased, but I seem to recall reading about such a thing, and I can't remember where.

Snow. Big flakes, little flakes, wet flakes, dry flakes – lots of flakes. Winters in northeast Montana can bring a little snow or a lot of snow or an outrageous, unbelievable amount of snow. Sometimes records of snowfall amount are broken – much to the despair of many.
One of my mother's favorite Christmas songs was "White Christmas." Of course, since Mom loved it, I did, too – and still do.
I was born and grew up in southeastern Iowa, where the snow is always wet and heavy, and sometimes in abundance. If you are into lifting weights to build muscle, you can easily do that shove...

Calling All Runners...I Need Some Advice!
Wednesday, December 05, 2012
Lo and behold...After yesterday's semi-rant about my love-hate relationship with running, what does my CrossFit trainer do? He incorporates 3 runs for a total of 1400 meters in today's WOD (workout of the day)! Gotta love him. Pete always seem to know just what I am dreading (but at the same time, what I need to work on)!
Surprisingly, I looked forward to the WOD inspite of the runs. Maybe it was because the runs were manageable distances (200m, 400m and 800m). Maybe it was because of the lifts that were sandwiched between each run (shoulder presses, push presses, and push jerks). Whatever the reason, I couldn't wait to get to the Box tonight!
Of course after 2 days of mild weather (mid- to upper-50s), the temperature drops to 39 degrees in time for WOD! Which is the reason of my post tonight.
What am I doing wrong?
Sometimes after a run (or a series of runs), I end up coughing up a lung for a couple of hours. Why is that? Does this happen to anyone else?
Until tonight, I have only run in mild and/or hot weather. As I was running this evening, the back of my throat started burning. By the time I finished the 800m run, my chest and throat were on fire! Is it the way I breathe? I tried to inhale through my nose and exhale through my mouth. If not my breathing, what could it be?
Any and all advice will be GREATLY appreciated!
I'm sure that during the next couple of months, I will run many of miles...most of which will be in cold weather since we are a couple of weeks away from winter!
So, THANK YOU in advance!

I have asthma and what your experiencing is almost exactly what I experience during the winter months (Wisconsin). I talked to my doctor and he prescribed an inhaler for me. Definitely check with your doctor. I also wear a balaclava when I run during the winter months. Hope this helps.

Sometimes if I breathe in through my mouth instead of my nose in cold weather my throat gets dry and I'll cough. It doesn't seem to happen as much if I breathe through my nose.

That's really strange! I run outside all winter long (in Michigan) and I've never had that happen. Have you ever dealt with asthma? That almost sounds like exercise induced asthma, that maybe is worse because of the cold. Or maybe it's just that you aren't use to the cold yet, and you have to sort of acclimate to it. I would put something over my face, like a scarf or something, and see if that helps.
Edited to add: I just did a quick google search, and everything seems to point toward exercise induced asthma. You may want to check with your doctor.

Free Transform Tool is located in the tools board and it allows you to apply the following actions to an object: scale objects, rotate objects, reflect an object, shear an object and change perspective of an object. In this post I am going to detail all of the above mentioned actions.
In order to transform an object we have to create it first. I will create a simple diamond using Polygon Tool (set the side value to 4 if you want to create a diamond). Here is what I have created.
Scale objects with Free Transform Tool
- Select the object then click on Free Transform Tool
- Eight white little squares will appear
- Hover over the mouse on those squares, the cursor changes (2 arrows facing different directions)
- Click on one of the squares and scale the object
- Hold Shift while you are scaling to maintain proportions
Rotate objects with Free Transform Tool
- With the shape selected click on Free Transform Tool
- Move the cursor a little way away from the edge of a white square
- The mouse icon changes again to two arrows in a circular direction
- This allows you to rotate the object (hold Shift when rotating and the angles will snap to 45 and 90 degree angles)
Reflect an object with Free Transform Tool (for this action I am using a logo I have created long time ago)
- With the object selected click on Free Transform Tool
- Mouse over any handle. I choose a vertical reflection
- Drag the double arrow pointer from up to down
- This creates a reflection of my logo
- To keep proportions of the original logo hold down shift key
Shear an object
- Select the object with Selection Tool
- Click on Free Transform Tool
- Mouse over a handle. Click and drag from left to right (hold down Ctrl + Alt while you are dragging)
- If you mouse over the top handle then click and drag from up to down, of course hold down Ctrl + Alt while you are dragging
- To distort in perspective way I have to create Outlines (Type > Create Outlines) because I use font in this step, not an image. If you use an image then you can skip this step.
- Select the object then click on Free Transform Tool
- Click on the corner of the shape, hold it, then hold down Ctrl and start dragging
- Hold down Shift + Ctrl + Alt and continue dragging to distort symmetrically
- When you are happy with the distort shape, first release the mouse button then the keyboard keys
- There are three more other ways to achieve this effect (Effect > 3D > Rotate, Effect > Warp and the third Object > Envelope Distort)

St. Francis Building Home for Habitat for Humanity
Bon Secours St. Francis Health System is helping families break the cycle of poverty and build long-term financial security through Habitat for Humanity. Habitat believes that every man, woman and child should have a decent, safe and affordable place to live. Habitat's message is consistent with part of the mission of Bon Secours: to bring health and wholeness to the communities we serve.
Future homeowner, Tammy Jones works two jobs and says she's now able to give her children a better future. "Everything has turned around for me. I didn't have anything, I was almost homeless. Now I feel proud of myself. I feel our home will give us stability, security, and a whole new future."
Bon Secours St. Francis employee volunteers are building Tammy Jones' family home in the Sterling Community, just one block from ST. FRANCIS downtown. Habitat's affordable housing frees up money for other needs for families who are already on a limited budget. Research shows decent housing improves health, increases educational achievement and strengthens community ties.
Bon Secours St. Francis CEO, Mark Nantz said "one of our employees is a recipient of a Habitat home and we are excited to be able to support the great work of Habitat for Humanity especially in the Sterling Community where we are actively engaged through our Community Ministries."
Bon Secours Community Ministries, which coordinates the Healthy Communities Initiative, serve as the hands and feet that bring our mission to life, reaching out to individuals in our community, especially the poor, the underserved and the dying. In addition to providing health care services, we draw on our Catholic social justice tradition to contribute to our mission. Bon Secours St. Francis Health System is developing long-term, collaborative relationships with the people who live and work in communities we serve to improve the quality of life and health.
Please join us Thursday, February 27, 2014 as we raise the walls of the Habitat for Humanity Bon Secours St. Francis Build. The build continues Friday, Feb. 28 and runs through May 31. Each day, there will be 25-30 volunteers building the home. Each build day runs from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with volunteers working varying shifts.
Bon Secours St. Francis employees and others who want to volunteer can go to the Habitat website and sign up through the volunteer link by selecting a date/listing for the Bon Secours St. Francis Build from the Upcoming Events schedule.

Denny Zeitlin: All The Things You Are
All The Things You Are
Denny Zeitlin (piano)
The Columbia Studio Trio Sessions (Mosaic Select 34)
Denny Zeitlin (piano), Charlie Haden (bass), Jerry Granelli (drums).
Composed by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II.
Recorded: Los Angeles, October 28, 1964
Rating: 96/100 (learn more)
After Denny Zeitlin moved to San Francisco in 1964, he formed a working trio with Charlie Haden (b. 1937) and Jerry Granelli (b. 1940) that lasted for two years. Their first album was Carnival, and as remarkable as Zeitlin's freshman Cathexis album was, his second was a definite step forward. Among its numerous high points was this unique treatment of an oft-performed standard. The "hook" of Zeitlin's arrangement is the song's bridge, or middle section—it's played in waltz time, except for the final two measures, and repeated over and over to build tension before returning to the final A section.
The trio's execution of this—at times delicate, at other times soaring—is sublime; this is one of the quintessential jazz recordings of "All the Things You Are". Zeitlin rerecorded his arrangement in the late 1980s with bassist Joel DiBartolo and drummer Peter Donald (Denny Zeitlin Trio Windham Hill Jazz 112), but this slower version is definitive.

Gallium nitride is a promising material for optoelectronics and advanced power electronic components, offering higher breakdown voltage and current capacity than silicon which is used in most components today. However, to make GaN-based devices a competitive alternative to silicon devices, GaN manufacturing technology needs to achieve the same economies of scale. Today, state-of-the-art LED manufacturing processes are typically performed on expensive 4 inch sapphire substrates.
By depositing the GaN material on 8 inch silicon substrates, the productivity of GaN-based device manufacturing can be significantly increased. In addition, imec's GaN-on-Si program is utilizing an Applied Materials mainframe to develop 8 inch GaN-on-Si technology that is compatible with the CMOS fab infrastructure. This can further enhance productivity and result in lowering device cost.
The multi-partner GaN R&D program, launched in 2009, aims to reduce the cost and improve the performance of GaN devices. This program brings together leading integrated device manufacturers (IDMs), foundries, compound semiconductor companies, equipment suppliers and substrate suppliers to develop 8 inch GaN technology. The IIAP builds on imec's excellent track record in GaN epi-layer growth, new device concepts and CMOS device integration.
Micron Technology, Applied Materials, and Ultratech will actively participate in the IIAP at imec in Leuven, Belgium. This on-site participation enables the partner companies to have early access to next-generation LED and power electronics processes, equipment and technologies.
Rudi Cartuyvels, Vice President & General Manager Process Technology at imec stated: "We are excited to welcome 3 major companies to our GaN-on-Si IIAP. Less than a year after the program's launch in July 2009, we have assembled a strong consortium, including IDMs and equipment suppliers, and we expect more companies to join in the near future. This collaboration reflects the value of imec's research on GaN-on-Si as a reliable cost-effective solution for next-generation LED and power electronics devices."

Fans of the show "Pawn Stars" want to visit the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop when they are in Las Vegas. This is something you can plan to do on your trip and is also something free to do in Vegas. Do you want to see their pawn shop?
The Gold and Silver Pawn Shop is located at 713 S. Las Vegas Blvd. This is near the downtown area and not on the strip. When you go into the store, you can see the exact store that is on the show and also try to pawn your own items. They even have a 24 hour drive through window for pawning.
Tourists line up to get into the door. There are usually people standing at the door when they open so expect to have to spend some time here if you want to go inside, but you can check out the outside anytime. It is free to get into the business.
About 4,000 people a day visit Gold and Silver Pawn Shop. The cast does still work there, but they do a lot of filming and behind the scenes stuff so you might not see them at the store.

Ice Pick Headaches - The Basics
By Teri Robert
These startling, sometimes frightening head pains have been described in various ways:
In the beginning, when I began having migraines, I suffered a sudden slash of pain, very intense and quick on the right side of my head. It started at one point and webbed out to what it felt like a inch in length. I had never felt this type of pain and it scared me.
They are intense, sharp, stabbing pain about your skull, as if you were being stabbed with an ice pick.
I was just wondering if anyone gets sudden pains in their heads. It can be in the front sometimes, or sometimes it's in my temple. It really varies.
I was awakened at 3 a.m. by excruciating, stabbing pains on the top right front of my head, kind of behind the eye. lasted about 30 seconds.
I get those types of stabbing pains too, I have no clue as to what is causing it. I get them all over my head. They can last for a few seconds to a few minutes. I started noticing them after my migraines started to get to where they were coming about 3-4 days a week
In addition, I have these very sudden sharp pains in my head on a daily basis. It feels as if I'm being stabbed in the head.
What are they? They're "ice pick headaches." They are short, stabbing, extremely intense headaches that can be absolutely terrifying. They generally only last between five and 30 seconds. However, they come out of nowhere, can strike anywhere on the head, literally feel as if an ice pick is being stuck into your head, then disappear before you can even figure out what's happening. The pain can also seem to occur in or behind the ear.
Under the
International Headache Society's
(IHS) criteria, the official name for them is "primary stabbing headache. Other terms that have been used are idiopathic stabbing headache jabs and jolts, ophthalmodynia, and periodica. Ice pick headaches is probably the most commonly used term because it's the most descriptive. The IHS description reads:
"Transient and localised stabs of pain in the head that occur spontaneously in the absence of organic disease of underlying structures or of the cranial nerves."
The International Headache Society diagnostic criteria is:
Head pain occurring as a single stab or a series of stabs and fulfilling criteria B–D
Exclusively or predominantly felt in the distribution of the first division of the trigeminal nerve (orbit, temple and parietal area)
Stabs last for up to a few seconds and recur with irregular frequency ranging from one to many per day
No accompanying symptoms
Not attributed to another disorder
Ice pick headaches are considered a primary headache because there isn't a deeper underlying cause. The headache itself is the problem. Although they may occur independently, they're more likely to occur as part of another primary head pain disorder.
A secondary headache has another cause such as a tumor, stroke, or something as simple as not eating. These short, sharp headaches can be located anywhere on the head, but they're usually located near the orbit, temple, or parietal region (the region near the parietal bone, one of two bones that form the posterior roof and sides of the skull).
Although people who experience Ice pick headaches are usually those who have Migraine disease, or another head pain disorder, the ice pick headaches usually occur by themselves rather than during a Migraine attack or headache. Usually, they occur a few times a day at most. In rare cases, however, they occur frequently through the day, requiring treatment. The major problem with treatment, of course, is that the pain is so brief, if it's not treated until it occurs, it's gone before the patient can even take medication. In those rare cases where it does need treatment, preventive treatment with indomethacin (Indocin) usually works.
Ice pick headaches occur in up to 40% of Migraineurs, often located in or near the usual location of their Migraines. They can occur at any time of day or even wake people from sleep. Those who do need to use indomethacin for prevention should remember that it is an NSAID and has the potential side effects typically associated with NSAIDs. Those potential side effects include heartburn, nausea, gastroesophageal reflux and bleeding problems, and gastric ulcers. In rare cases, indomethacin can cause eye problems. Thus annual examinations by an ophthalmologist are recommended for anyone taking it on a regular basis.
In an article published in
Current Pain and Headache Reports
, Dr. Todd Rozen summarized the situation of people with ice pick headaches quite succinctly:
"The short-lasting headache syndromes are unique based on their short duration of pain and their associated symptoms. Physicians need to be knowledgeable about these syndromes because each has its own distinct treatment and if the diagnosis is missed, the patient can be burdened with extreme headache-related disability."
If you're experiencing what you think may be ice pick headaches, please don't just assume that's what they are. Log them in your diary, and go see your doctor. As with any other head pain, there can be too many possible causes to guess. A doctor's diagnosis is vital.
