Five engineering professors were recognized for distinguished teaching at the 2016 graduation ceremonies.
The Class of 2016 gathered on the Friend Center courtyard on Monday, May 30, to celebrate graduates' achievements including creating a new system to design aircraft, developing building techniques to assist refugees, and vividly describing the importance of scientific research to audiences beyond the university.
For their senior thesis, two Princeton engineers worked across departments to solve fundamental problems and create a flexible sheet of sensors to detect strains over wide areas of structures such as buildings, bridges and dams.
The Andlinger Center's Building Opening Celebration and Symposium May featured industry and government leaders outlining their visions for the future of energy and the environment, as well as the center's jointly appointed faculty highlighting their research in sustainable energy.
The School of Engineering and Applied Science honored three assistant professors for outstanding teaching and research early in their careers at the school's faculty meeting May 25. Each award includes $45,000 to support the recipient's research.
Yueh-Lin (Lynn) Loo, the Theodora D. '78 and William H. Walton III '74 Professor in Engineering and professor of chemical and biological engineering at Princeton University, has been appointed director of the Andlinger Center of Energy and the Environment, effective July 1. Looends her term as acting vice dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science and she succeeds founding director Emily Carter, who has been appointed dean of engineering.
Princeton University is part of a partnership of eight universities that has received a six-year, $20 million federal grant to pursue broad approaches to improving the efficiency of production and use of fossil fuels, while minimizing greenhouse gas emissions and harm to the environment.
The students, Sara Fridovich-Keil and Siddhartha Jayanti, are among 252 undergraduates who were recognized with the scholarship after proposing innovative solutions to research problems in their fields.
Researchers at Princeton University have found that adding a three-dimensional component to computer vision greatly increases both the accuracy and efficiency of the process.
A new method for controling instabilities in roiling masses of superhot particles promises to improve the performance of a key element in nuclear fusion, a potentially safe, clean and nearly limitless source of electric power.
Jennifer Rexford, chair of the Department of Computer Science, has been named the 2016-2017 Athena Lecturer by the Association for Computing Machinery, the largest professional society in computing research and education. The award recognizes female researchers who have made fundamental contributions to computer science.
Cornelia Huellstrunk, associate director of Princeton University's Keller Center since 2009, has been appointed to a new position of executive director, reflecting major growth in the center's efforts to innovate education and to foster entrepreneurship.
Emily A. Carter, a Princeton faculty member since 2004 and founding director of the University's Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment, has been selected as the next dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science. Her appointment is effective July 1.
In a unique effort to combine the expertise of university scientists and conservation organizations, Louis Bacon's Moore Charitable Foundation has pledged $1.25 million to establish the Science-to-Action Fund at Princeton University.
The historic drought that parched Brazil over the last two years was not just a water-supply problem — it was also a power problem. The nation's heavy use of hydroelectricity, which had made it a model of renewable energy, contributed to an increased risk of rolling blackouts in some of Brazil's largest cities during severe droughts. Now, Princeton researchers are joining with colleagues at a Brazilian university to help the operator of Brazil's electric grid and the country's major utilities

I am not sure whether this is the right forum for this question, so it might be migrated somewhere else; but, it is, I think, certainly germane to the wider idea of pursuing interesting questions and developing their answers.
What are the basics of mathematical research? How do you develop a facility for it, outside of the traditional edifice of the modern university and its relata (e.g. affiliated research groups/corporations)?
(NB: I am implicitly suggesting that these institutions, in general, have a certain internal/insular model of research that does not have anything to doing research, except perhaps that it forms the de facto vanguard of arbitrating mathematical truth, and thus the worthiness of research--there is a post here that suggest that submissions by known amateur is subject to greater scrutiny, and I confess myself puzzled, since the question is one about whether the results presented, assuming they are appropriate to the venue, are sound, not whether one is part of the club, unless he was voucher for by some club member cf. Ramanujan)
In particular, graduate schools often evaluate a Ph.D candidate not so much on their mathematical accomplishments but as much as on whether they have the chops to do research, to find, pursue and interrogate new areas of mathematics, or extend, simplify or interrelate others. Yet it seems, that for all the formality of graduate school, it can certainly be done by the interested and persistent everyman. Certainly, number theory is a field that generates a lot of "amateur" interest, but as the technical prerequisites mount, the involvement of the "amateur" is frowned upon, since "clearly" he will probably just not know what the dedicated "professional" mathematician knows. So then, we might revise my question as follows:
What are the necessary and sufficient conditions of good research in mathematics, not framed under the assumption that one has particular training, but rather in the general sense that one is interested in saying something new, interesting or perhaps simply offering a new perspective?

Album Summary
- Paul Tortelier (Cello)
- Yan Tortelier (Violin)
- Ernest Lush (Piano)
Notes & Reviews:
The French cellist Paul Tortelier was one of the truly great artists of the 20th Century. He collaborated with such eminent conductors as Sir Thomas Beecham, Rudolf Kempe, Charles Munch, Bruno Walter, Arturo Toscanini and the composer Paul Hindemith. Paul Tortelier's son, Yan Pascal, is a notable violinist but has become known primarily as a major conductor, recently becoming Music Director of the Pittsburgh Symphony. The Brahms Double Concerto featuring Yan Pascal Tortelier, is a superb live stereo account which complements his studio version with the violinist Christian Ferras. The live version generates so much more tension and the collaboration of father and son is perfectly balanced.

Junk this spammer troll.
The stock in question, TDI, trades about 5,000 shares/day. So this activity is meaningless... probably just a test, baby. You have to wonder why Nanex and TD think this is worthy of note.
So I read the link. I don't necessarily agree, but it doesn't more than an non-Armageddon opinion. Last year when everyone was hella-bearish in August, the contrarian play was correct in terms of market direction.
Can someone enlighten me as to why the large # of negative thumbs on this comment?

It's a messy job, but I have to profit in this environment, and I want to be as close to the quote stuffing action as I am able to be.
Wait...you're stuffing what where?
Personally, I don't want to be anywhere near this sort of stuffing.

Incredibly dishonest. But don't worry since you declared "victory" yesterday this will all get better soon. Pfffff, my ass. There's not a regulator on earth that has the balls to put an end to this dishonesty. It really is disgusting. It sure would be nice if the game was fair though.
Your pessimism is well noted, however, throwing stones at your gladiator is foolish. The end has to start somewhere.
If in fact ZH has been instrumental in bringing the HFT issue to the attention of the authorities then ZH is to be commended, not insulted. May other so called "journalists" take a lesson from what goes on here and get off their asses and do their jobs, not for the money they get paid, but for the ideals they might have had when young, before they themselves became corrupt. The scum that populate the MSM may never get turned around, but that is no reason not to go forward without them. Let the alphabet networks eat ZH dust!

If John Paulson simply stuck to big cap liquid names, he would not have been blowtorched on crap like Sino-Forest. It's really that simple. Investing Basics 101, really....
If John Paulson simply stuck to big cap liquid names, he would not have been blowtorched on crap like Sino-Forest.
uhhh, yeaaahh Robo. BAC is soooo illiquid. The dude can't even perform arbitrage, his bread and butter, as good as some RETAIL ARB mutual funds. I think there are more issues other than just his investment in Sino.
**I do, however, agree his investment in Sino was pure stupidity.**
On Friday, August 26, 2011 , trading on TSX in Sino-Forest Corporation (Toronto:TRE.TO) was halted by order of the Ontario Securities Commission. The S&P/TSX index committee has determined that Sino-Forest no longer qualifies to be a constituent of the S&P/TSX Composite Index. As a result, the company will be removed at zero price from the S&P/TSX Composite and Capped Composite.
or safer just trade ETF...
Why did Paulson invest in TRE? Geez, I dunno. Maybe because evey broker was issuing strong buy recos?
I can understand Paulson and at least, he got out when Muddy Waters came out.
But what do you make of the billionaire Richard Chandler? Did he have money to burn or what? He bought 5 million shares at about 4 bucks, lost 20 million on a trade that he could have clearly avoided.
Oh well, small change for these guys.
Dick Chandler, the captain of the river boats. LOL.
yet you tout tzoo and lulu which aren't s&p 500 members, and expect gentleman jim sinclair to buy them, even as he's a gold guy, not a junk speculator.
Take a look at SVM. They announced a stock repurchase to break the short position and suddenly fraudulent letters and HFT algo are turned on the,. Where in the hell is the SEC?
In other words, the NYSE should be moved a few hops away from the quote stuffers, say perhaps to the middle of
the Congo?
Thats what my market display looks like too!
Move right, right, right, OK fleet now DROP! Move left, left, left....
I must admit I am missing something about HFTs...same here: what is the problem? what are algos trying to obtain with quote stuffing? (I don't believe it's all about NYers being advantaged compared to Hollywood...) what am I gonna tell my friends when we talk about the bad market participants?
same as the Fed. make money out of nothing. front run the markets, get investors to buy, suck them into transfering the savings of the many for the benefit of the few .. you know the usual, legalized mafia, theft and so on.
There are two things being discussed here, one is network latency based front-running, the other is bid fishing. In this example, we're just looking at bid fishing.
Bid fishing is nothing new, it used to happen in the days of organic trading too, just much more slowly.
The inside bid in this case is organic, just sitting there relatively patiently waiting to be hit. Meanwhile, the ask is loaded with impatient bots that provide FALSE quotes narrowing the spread in an aim to entice the bid to cross (bid fishing). A seller fishes for bids when s/he wants to offload shares but not at the inside bid. You see this kind of activity when the bid is running out of juice and the ask is getting antsy. If it continues for too long, the ask will start hitting the bid and the trend reverses.
What makes things a bit different now is that in the old days of organic bid fishing, you could actually catch the asks. These days, you haven't got a chance. A bot provides a whole lot of spread narrowing quotes that entice bids to cross, but by the time the bids actually arrive, the quotes are long gone and the order fills at a higher price than expected. Bots 1 Sucker 0.
Another thing that used to happen back in organic land is pulling asks when an eager bidder appears. Nothing new, but in today's botland it is rampant and results in you getting much more screwed than you ever could be against organic traders with slower reaction times. Co-located bots are so damn fast, they can run rings around most orders. Say you get fooled by an apparently decent ask for 50k shares and you place a market order for 10k shares thinking it will fill at the best ask and feeling secure because the order book looks well stacked. Unfortunately for you, the quote was "false", a bid fishing quote and by the time your order arrives, the quote is long gone. You might get a couple of hundred shares executing at the price you expected, then the asks will magically shrink and melt upwards dragging your market order with it, the supposedly well stacked book, disappearing ahead of you. The bot that sold you a couple of hundred shares at the start of the process may even flip to buy and soak up the ask along with your market order for a few thousand shares, then flip to a higher inside ask and offload it all at the tail of your order execution. The bot ends up neutral with a small profit, a profit matching the loss you made paying a higher price than you should have. Without proper timestamping, there's no way to stop this.
The second issue, that this example does not show is that where multiple venues are involved and propagation takes time, a hyperactive bot network with lower network latency than you can see your order in transit through the system, predict where it's going to route to next (ultimately the NYSE) and, with the benefit of better speed, front-run your order in the venue where your order will arrive at next (if it hasn't filled yet). In this case, the bots are exploiting information asymmetries that exist between venues and if such asymmetries get a bit sparse, bots can CAUSE them by spamming the system (similar to a denial of service attack), aka quote stuffing. All this happens on the millisecond scale and, again, can't be stopped without some form of minimum quote life, quote rate limit and system-wide synched timestamping. In this case, the 50k ask that you wanted to hit is just bait and may even get pulled AFTER your 10k bid has launched but before your bid arrives if the bot has better network speed than you. This is how a trader in California gets screwed by a bot in NY.
The people who think all of this is just fine are the same pricks who use aim-bots in first-person shooters and ruin it for everyone else.
I remember a weird fantasy land in which market orders used to actually soak up the ask to fill before any quotes could be pulled. These days you have to live in fear that your market order might finish filling at an average prices of $999,999,999 when the inside ask was $1 at the time of placement and the book *looked* well stacked (but was actually full of false liquidity).
Proper timestamping and a minimum quote life (or a 1 cent quote fee) would solve all of this. Hell, just a minimum quote life alone would do the trick in this case (but wouldn't prevent propagation-based front-running (need proper timestamps for that)).
To mitigate the problem with HFT's I trade only stocks with a high degree of liquidity but it severely limits my options in because of this "problem".
There are additional problems that these HFT trades create. Their order sizes are probably algo'd for 100 shares or less (again x1,000 orders). In order to cover my commission costs, I generally trade in blocks of 500 or more (and my fills often tell the tale of HFT activity). This is exactly what HFT's are waiting for. You can forget placing a market order.
In fact, I bet with examination you'd find that a pecking order of exchanges exists such that the public is confined to order submission from certain obvious exchanges and orders that appear from these exchanges are given the least preferable treatment because of the timing issues this article exposes.
These algo's are very complex but not hard to figure out. It's like the movie Office Space (I think there's one with Richard Pryor as well) where stealing the unrounded fractions of a penny adds up to a fortune when multiplied times millions of transactions.
And when trading occurs across planets light-minutes away, and then stars light years apart? We can refer to Asimov's Foundation Trilogy for some insights into the implications. The virualized HFT core will collapse and the real perifery, insulated and isolated by distance and time will prosper. America's western frontier is only 50 ns from the core.
Thanks very much for this post. In a reasonable world, it would be possible to set and enforce a minimum order duration. Alas, even if you do it on a few equity markets, slimy strategies like this will move to others where there's less activity...thus, perversely, making the strategy more effective....
Anyone sets a stop and forgets about it or places a market order is asking to get reamed.
Exactly. I used to be a day trader once, until the bots came along and we all went extinct (or botted up). These days an organic trader just has to place a limit order and wait to be filled. Works real nice when it's set 50% away from the current price and a flash crash / smash comes along. Otherwise, sucks.
Markets are seriously screwed up when you *can't* place stops anymore for fear of them being hit ridiculously, and you *can't* place market orders for fear of being ripped a new one. Seems the SEC don't give a toss.
I feel your pain. Worse, even if you figured out a way to drive those mofos off a cliff they'd just W&R your ass. The SEC's position is to tell everyone to kneel and take it like a man. Not me brother.
There are a few things going on here.
I used to do a lot of fishing back in the day. Did a boat load of pre and post market arb'ing as well.
This example looks like bid fishing with a twist. I would suggest they are gaming folks using "direct access" platforms that don't understand how their orders are handled.
A market order, on a direct access platform is actually converted to an IOC, "Immediate or Cancel", it will fill for whatever shares are there when the order matches and the balance is cancelled and replaced at the next best. The time it takes for the order server to get the cancel and return to the best with a new size and price is serious latency.
In this algo, unlike previous algo's I've seen, they scaled into the best and then fell back to where they want to sell. It looks to me, since they are doing this in somewhat obscure names, that someone is testing. It may be a relatively new operation that has recently raised or is trying to raise some cash to trade.
If I had the time and a fast enough connection I'd front run them.
excellent commentary though i don't know how one would go about front-running a mirage. It doesn't look like there is a whole lot of trading going on to me.
The mirage is real.
I agree that there is not a lot of actual trading going on, that is why it looks like fishing for idiots or other automated systems.
I still maintain this activity is a "testing" algo.
We're all guilty of fishing.
What you say here reminds me of a core problem with flash orders. Sure, traders can opt out of them in most (all?) direct access platforms, but many traders probably don't even know what's going on at all. The half second ensures that a quote can flash within the dark pool for up to 500ms before propagating, an eternity for a bot to identify a front-running opportunity in the expected propagation pipeline (assuming the order does not fill) and get ahead. This is regulated, forced latency, giving free money to bots at the expense of traders who don't understand what's going on.
IOC feedback loop is just flat out bad I think. As you say, it's too easy to abuse. I'd like to see a proper timestamping system that fills an order based on quotes that were in existence when the bid was originally stamped at the point of origin (prior to propagation). Even if an ask gets pulled, before the order has filled, if the ask was stamped and live when the bid came into existence then it should be obligated to honor. None of this loop-back nonsense that allows bots to dance around orders like cannibals around an old chap in the pot. A timestamped system like that might actually force some intelligence to go into quote creation.
Regarding scaling into a narrower spread, I'm guessing that's just standard incremental (by formula) bid fishing, but the speed it's done at indicates they're used to bid fishing against rival bots that are equally fast.
I'm sure you remember when they charged for cancels. Maybe that needs to be reinstated for sub-second cancels.
There is a big problem trying to timestamp orders that are feed from multiple exchanges without a centralized market. Time, as it turns out, is relative.
Actually yes, I think you're right. The path of minimal resistance, simplest, easiest approach is a minimum quote life with a penalty for breaching it. So a small fee for canceling or editing a quote within a few seconds of creating it would really be quite effective.
market orderZ get freaking plundered by this shit, Z_n_X, as tyler has already demonstrated w/ yer help
perhaps no one has answered the question b/c banzai's little cutesie has increased the download time of this page (for luddites) by...well, you do the math. even on zH, the priveliged have no regard for the poor and just want to keep giving us "cake" when we're here to eat the "bread"
i'm not sure about your "test" but i'll give it the ole slewie try: IF the green is the bid, then the bid @ 9:43:13 = ~ 24.73$ if the solid red upper line is the "marlet maker's" ask, then the B-A spread thruout this whole episode is 24.73 bid, 25.00 ask (by the MMaker in TDI)
since many morons use "market orders" (which are necessary at times), a hi-freek can put in bids or asks freely for the stock, as can slewie or anyone else w/ an account @ a "broker". if you want to buy, you are bidding, sell, you are asking for a bid to match your price, or @ "market" if you don't specify a price. but a bid or ask, is not the "bid-ask spread"; at least that is what my answer is based upon.
While I would agree with you that the REAL MARKET in this example is 24.73 by 25.00, you can't suggest that an offer below 25 is not real because it was only there for a split second. Or not real because of some Market Maker?
If someone offers stock in, then it's real. The seller is at risk even if only for a spit sec.
That IS the BID/ASK SPREAD.
If the HFT really wants to sell a long position in an illiquid stock this is what I'd do. (create buyers so your order doesn't crush the stock)
If I "knew" it was a closing transaction I'd be tempted to take that 24.73 bid away from him and throw out a 24.00 bid to catch his panic sell.
Based on all the comments that I've read so far, it's a good thing I cashed in my Schwab IRA and took the tax penalties, rather than have the 'Droids continue to siphon my pocketbook(s)!
i didn't say the offers below 25 weren't real. they are real offers, but they are not a "spread" or part of a "bid-ask" spread, which is the job of the market maker )or specialist before a few years ago.
the bids you refer to are real and they are part of the market in this stock. as long as they are within the spread, they might get filled.
i may be mistaken, but i do think the bid-ask spread consists of a bid and an ask set by a market maker.
it looks to me that a computer trader came into this 1/4 pt(+?) spread and sold a shitload of stock below 25$ without moving the spread. since the hi-freek was selling for less than the MM, the HFT got the sales, or most of them
i see what you mean by the 24$ bid, and it might work well under certain scenarioz, but it would be your bid, outside the bid-ask spread, not part of it, imo. your 24$ bid doesn't change the b-a spread, any more than the HFT's do; it is just a bid that suits your strategy in a thin market, which this NYSE telephone & data systems stock was kinda in today, if you check the volume. the low for today was 24.80$ and the hi was abt 25.05$ so you had the right idea, but the wrong end. maybe next time put in an "outside" bid and ask and hope to be the outlier that gets filled. the problem w/ that is that there are others much closer to the market, who may see your orders sitting there, and either block them, or shop them.
i don't think we're disagreeing about what we're seeing here, zeroH, but about the "definition" of bid-ask spread, which i just asked for and got this (google/paste): Definition for bid ask spread:
The bid/offer spread (also known as bid/ask or buy/sell spread) for securities (such as stocks, futures contracts, options, or currency pairs) is the difference between the prices quoted (either by a single market maker or in a limit order book) for an immediate sale (ask) and an immediate ....

More » www.duke.edu/~charvey/Classes/wpg/bfglosl.htm Source since specialists went the way of the dodo bird abt 5 years (?) ago, i looked for another answer and found this: Central limit order book - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia which also contains a ref to how this works for OTC under dodd-frank. you may be right. the "question" seems to imply your kinda answer, but i don't trust tyler and his buddies not to throw curve balls here, at all, as my answer clearly shows since this is NYSE and we have a MM, i'm still leaning toward my answer, but i'm just not positive. are you?
In 1997, the SEC instituted "Order Handling rules" that required MM's/Exchanges to post customer limit orders for all to see and trade against. Since then, it is the public that is making markets, but not typically both sides.
The spread is, and has always been, a function of risk.
In many cases a tight spread is somewhat artificial, noise if you will, while real size and therefore real dollar risk is established at a much wider spread.
The NYSE Specialist has a mandate that the Nasdaq MM does not. (the rules are different)
The Specialist is charged with maintaining an orderly market. Meaning he must step in and buy or sell when nobody else will. The flash crash is a clear example of how this works. The specialist paused trading in order to buy himself and give other traders the opportunity to join/help him. The "crash" happened on secondary exchanges.
The Nasdaq MM has no mandate and as a result can and does run away from providing a "market" when the risk outweighs the reward. Nasdaq MM's hide behind ECN's which allow them to trade for themselves and against their customers, and at the same time they have a "stub quote" of a penny bid and $1000 offer. I believe when a MM actually quotes a bid/ask using his MMID he must maintain that quote for 5 seconds and when he moves that quote he can't move by more than a certain percentage.
If I were you, I'd avoid reading about how the market works from academia.
Best of luck

They are all eco-friendly and come in beautiful colors. The new shag rugs are made from Polyester twisted yarn with 100% cotton backing.
Shag rugs are rugs that have a deep pile, much deeper than the average rug. This means you have an extra thick rich pile that feels remarkably soft on your feet! This is why these rugs are sometimes referred to as shag pile rugs. The result of these longer yard strands is addictive, luxurious comfort. These are rugs you can really sink your feet into, due to the nature of hand-tufted rugs, shedding may occur for first use but diminish over time.

120 pages, 166 photos and 3 maps.
The book is divided into two parts. In the first part different aspects of life in Togo and Benin are shown. We see traditional mudbrick villages, but also life on the waterfront. Often the dwelling places have got something to do with the history of the people. A further aspect of history, one that is rather unpleasant, can be seen in Ouidah, Benin, where the slave route ended and from where people were shipped as slaves to America. But in the book there are also pictures of markets and crafts as well as children with pretty hairstyles. Also Christian belief in voodoo countries is shown.
The second half of the book deals with voodoo. Different aspects of this religion are shown in a close-up view. Several temples with their gods, goddesses, sacred snakes and devotees play an important part here. And there are priests and their fetishes who let us take part in their voodoo ceremonies. But we also go to a dangerous and bloody shrine, where you can cast a spell on your enemies. Further there are several photos of a trance dance which a voodoo priest arranged to ensure his magical powers.
Christa Neuenhofer was born in 1949 in Germany. For many years she has travelled to countries in Asia, Africa and Central America. As she has a particular anthropological interest in tribal communities, she has visited quite a number of remote places, mainly in Asia. Especially in India she went to rural areas and took photos of tribal people and their traditional life - images of a cultural heritage which in only a few years will have been swept away by globalization. She has published many of these photos on the Internet ( http://www.pbase.com/neuenhofer ) When visiting indigenous people she and her husband have always shown a special interest in what people believe. They had to notice that many religions vanish more and more due to still very active missionaries. This curiosity in traditional faiths has now brought her to Togo and Benin to learn more about voodoo, a religion that has an increasing number of believers worldwide.

Revealed at the C2E2 Marvel panel, Peter Parker wasn't the only one who got bit by that irradiated spider that day on the school field trip. July will kick off the two part story in Amazing Spider Man #4 which we find out more about the second victim that calls herself Silk. She has powers like Spider Man but took a different course in her life. This story will tie into the Original Sin summer event.
"[The story about Silk] was something that Dan Slott started working on with former Spidey-Editor Steve Wacker and Associate Editor Ellie Pyle when the Original Sin event was in its formative time," explains Lowe. "The revelation that someone else was bit by the spider was huge and before my time. I've been involved in shaping who Silk is, which has made for some great lunch conversation with Dan and Ellie and many long phone calls. "
Her name is Silk
The second victim to be bitten by the same spider Peter Parker was has the same power as him. Wonder if she used them for good or evil? All that's been revealed so far is just that she is a woman with long brown hair and a suit made of webbing, which was drawn beautifully by artist Humberto Ramos.
Amazing Spider Man #4
This is a sneak peek panel from what I'm guessing is Amazing Spider Man #4. It shows the spider leaving Peter Parker after biting him and moving across the floor to a woman with long brown hair. It then shows her in the background rubbing her foot where she was bitten as Peter is saying his head feels strange and he needs some air.
Original Sin
Original Sin, everyone has one. Silk's story will tie into the Original Sin summer event. We will get to see more about her in a two part story that starts in Amazing Spider Man #4. I'm excited to see more of this second victim. Silk will also be included in the Spider-Verse event later this year.

Hail to the Chef! Alan Wong
By PacificNetwork.tv
Hail to the Chef! Alan Wong
From one home town boy to another, President Barack Obama loves Chef Alan Wong's culinary creations and who could disagree? Winner of countless culinary awards, co-founder of Hawaii Regional Cuisine (1992), recognized by Robert Mondavi Winery as one of 13 Rising Star Chefs in America (1994), recipient of the prestigious James Beard Award for Best Chef: Pacific Northwest, Chef of the Year by Santé Magazine (2001), Gourmet Magazine ranked his restaurant sixth in a list of America's Best 50 Restaurants... Alan Wong also owns The Pineapple Room at Ala Moana Center, Alan Wong's on King St., and Alan Wong's Hawaii at Disneyland in Maihama, Japan... and yet he considers his business a mom and pop operation?
His Hawaii roots are grounded firmly in the islands and he proves it by the support he has given colleagues and local producers from the coffee farms in Holualoa to Nalo Farms in Waimanalo. This interview is an excerpt from a series called Changing Hawaii. One of our most enjoyable documentary style forays into life in contemporary Hawaii on PacificNetwork.tv.
Do we miss King's Bakery, McCully Chop Suey, Flamingo's, College Inn for those of you old enough to recall, and so many other local landmarks that have disappeared during the last two decades? Like Mavro, Hiroshi's, Dk's Steakhouse, Orchid's, Michel's at Colony Surf, Vino, Merriman's, Hoku's, Pastiche, and other spectacular Hawaii restaurants owned and operated as small businesses (vs large corporations) these restaurants and their Chefs are uniquely Hawaii and they reflect a lot about who we are. These restauranteurs and chefs have managed to survive and thrive through changing economies and changing audiences. They remind us that there has to be change in all industries, including entertainment and travel, and that a good chef makes the most of the situation. Good food and dining with friends and family are comfort we long for during difficult times. So thanks to Chef Alan Wong and other great Chefs of Hawaii for making us feel that it's going to be ok... that Life is Good in Hawaii. We just need to pay attention to the sign posts along the changing path.

Cedric Lambert Porter (1905-2000)
From: Hartman, R. L. and Burrell E. Nelson. 2000. Cedric Lambert Porter (1905-2000). Taxon 49: 577--580.
Dr. Cedric Lambert "Ted" Porter of Sun City, Arizona died Jan. 8, 2000 in Peoria, Arizona. He was born, Jan. 15, 1905, in Gujranwala, India (now Pakistan, near the foothills of the Himalayas) of American and British missionaries. His father was president of Gordon College, an institution operated jointly by an American missionary group and the Indian office of education. Porter attended a British primary school and, at age 14, was brought to the United States to attend high school in Ohio. He initiated college work at Wooster College, Ohio, but transferred to the University of Michigan were he completed a B.S. (1928) and a M.S. (1929) degree. In 1929 he married his classmate Marjorie L. Woollett and they came west to Laramie in a Model T Ford. He became instructor of Botany (1929-32, asst. prof. 1932-38; assoc. prof. 1939-42; prof. 1943) and swimming coach (1929-32) at the University of Wyoming. For his first six years, he spent summers collecting mosses throughout Wyoming and did graduate work at the University of Washington (sabbatical leave, 1935-36; Ph.D. 1937). His dissertation was entitled "Bryophytes of Wyoming." In 1937 he became assistant curator of the Rocky Mountain Herbarium (RM; curator, 1943) to provide for an orderly transition upon Aven Nelson's retirement.
During his curatorship the RM grew from 192,420 accessions to 284,531. This included the incorporation of the herbarium of Harry Hapeman, a physician from Minden, Nebraska (ca. 25,000 specimens; this gift, negotiated years earlier by Nelson).
Porter collected throughout Wyoming, parts of Colorado (often with H. D. Harrington), and in other Rocky Mountain states. Total numbered collections up to his retirement in 1968 was 10,579, but for many years he had collected in sets of 20 (19 duplicates for each numbered collection). These duplicates were used in an extensive exchange program primarily with North American herbaria.
To his credit upon retirement, the RM was probably the best organized, curated, and housed medium-sized herbarium in the nation. A repeated theme of his annual reports was the recognition, segregation, and curation of type specimens (ca. 4,500, paratypes included), the general updating of the nomenclature, the segregation of Wyoming specimens in red folders, the remainder in manila folders (he lettered every one with a Leroy Lettering Set, evenings and weekends), the development of a cardfile system for reprints and library accessions, and the development of an invaluable set of dot maps for the flora of Wyoming (on 4 by 5" cards). In 1960, the RM was moved from the east half, 4th floor, Engineering Building (home since 1926) to the 3rd floor of the former library building, newly renovated and renamed the Aven Nelson Memorial Building. This finally relieved the chronic shortage of space.
In 1959, Porter produced the popular text "Taxonomy of Vascular Plants" (W. H. Freeman and Co.; second edition, 1967). He published more than 40 scientific papers, "Spring Flora of Southeastern Wyoming," and eight fascicles of "A Flora of Wyoming" (ferns and fern allies, gymnosperms, angiosperms: monocots, dicots through Fumariaceae; Englerian system). This was preceded by the mimeographed "Contributions Toward a Flora of Wyoming" (Leaflet nos. 3-35, 1944-1965, six by contributing authors). His major interests included Rocky Mountain vascular plants, especially grasses and legumes, poisonous plants, and aquatics.
Master's students included Charlotte Goodding Reeder (academic advisor; she worked closely with Nelson), Michael Canoso, George W. Argus, Ronald J. Taylor, and Richard C. Scott.
C. L. Porter published seven species and two varieties new to science: Astragalus beathii (1941), A. hamiltonii (1952), A. racemosus Pursh var. treleasei (1945), A. schmollae (1945), A. spectabilis (1952), Hermidium alipes S. Watson var. pallidum (1952), Oxytropis obnapiformis (1947), Peteria pinetorum (1957), and Sphaeralcea procera (1943). In 1951 a distinctive sagebrush, endemic to the Wind River Basin, Wyoming, discovered by Porter was named in his honor by Arthur Cronquist: Artemisia porteri.
His wife, Marjorie passed away March 4, 2000; he is survived by children, Richard B. Porter, Kenneth R. Porter, and Carol L. Murray, all of Colorado; eight grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; two nieces and a nephew.

For many Chicago at-risk youth, their backyard has been compared to a "war zone." With the number of shooting victims up 8 percent since the beginning of this year, finding a means to look beyond the enemy and accept peace can often be challenging – until now.
Meg Helder, director of program operations for the YMCA of Metro Chicago's Youth Safety and Violence Prevention program, is helping unite two distinct groups – Chicago teens affected by neighborhood violence and military veterans who fought in the nation's two most recent wars.
"Both populations have had high exposure to violence, and this program allows them to start from the beginning," says Hedler. "Our young people are learning from the veterans about how they interact with the world; how they can turn a negative situation into a positive one."
During the 12-week pilot Urban Warrior program, the YMCA paired kids from Little Village with military veterans, providing both parties the opportunity to share "war stories" and focus on ways to improve their physical, mental and emotional health. The program also builds a sense of direction and meaning for struggling veterans as they deal with issues like post-traumatic stress disorder, says Hedler.
The pilot program brought together 15 Chicago youth and five veterans, many of them building a strong camaraderie because of their similar background.
"Most of the veterans come from the same neighborhoods as our youth, and our kids are surprised to hear this. It helps them identify with [the veterans]," said Hedler.
The group met every Saturday for three hours, participating in peace circles, trust-building exercises, and fun activities. The Little Village group graduated on July 21. Hedler says they will continue to keep the members of the group engaged, through softball leagues and other community activities.
Work is underway to quickly expand the program to other struggling Chicago neighborhoods, like South Chicago, West Lawn, Logan Square, and Pilsen, according to Hedler. They have begun recruiting for their Urban Warrior program in South Chicago, which they intend to launch this fall.

We're one step closer to maintenance-free roads. The former University of Rhode Island graduate student developed self-healing concrete by embedding microencapsulated sodium silicate into concrete matrix. When her concrete is put under stress and cracks or fissures are made, the sodium silicate is released and mixes with the calcium hydroxide in the concrete to create a gel-like substance that fills the affected areas. After almost a decade-long exploration into self-healing concrete, Pelletier's method is the first predicted to be cost-efficient enough to be commercialized.
The Indiana public works director's ground-breaking projects include making South Bend the first city in the world to integrate computerized sensors and motorized controls to prevent combined sewer overflows (see "Real-time sewer solution" from our November 2008 issue). Last month, his department installed pinch valves on a new throttle line to maximize inline and offline storage and control flows into the wastewater treatment plant as it prepares to control the system in real time.
Why did legislation from last year make o our list? Because it takes at least a year t to gauge the impact of a massive government program that was so quickly formulated and that required equally speedy action from recipients.
On the positive side: first-time stimulus programs are becoming standard operating procedure. Things like the Green Project Reserve that make states invest at least 20% of federally funded loans in sustainable water and wastewater projects. And cheaper financing instruments like the Build America Bond; by May 31 cities, counties, and states were leveraging $106 billion to save $12 billion on water utility and sewer upgrades, highway and airport improvements, and more energy-efficient parking lot and transit facilities.
On the not-so-positive side: more paperwork to prove you're spending money wisely and paying fair wages, and the (thus far) lack of continuing support for Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants (EECBG), a program created in 2007 but not funded until the stimulus.
And the fatal flaw: public transit.
The U.S. DOT Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grants are extending commuter rail and bus lines, rejuvenating stations and bridges, and adding bicycle lanes in congested areas. But most of the Federal Transit Agency's $9 billion allocation, including $100 million in grants to reduce emissions, has to be spent on capital investments.
As anyone who's struggled to extend the serviceability of a road or sewage pipe knows, our train and bus managers are going to need more flexibility and funding if the United States is to operate "sustainably."

Please forgive my possible misuse of the appropriate definitions. I'm looking for a quasi-random sequence of directions in the unit $2$-sphere, to be used in a Monte-Carlo method to calculate an integral over the entire $4 \pi$ solid angle.
I'm currently using a Monte-Carlo approach for the calculation of global illumination for a 3d application, using pseudo-random numbers from a standard software package. The thing is that the convergence is too slow. I've read about it in Wikipedia, and found out that by using quasi-random sequences (like the Sobel sequence) I could improve the convergence speed from $\frac{1}{\sqrt{N}}$ to $\frac{1}{N}$. Is this correct?
NOTE: Please if there is some typing error in the math, I'll appreciate an editor's help.

Force India's Sergio Pérez clocked in at 1min 35.570sec off a marathon 108 laps during the 4-day testing session at he Sakhir circuit in preparation for the Bahrain Formula Grand Prix on April 6th.
Pérez, who was replaced by Kevin Magnussen after one season with McLaren signed to race for Force India during 2014 in a reported 15 million euro deal. He is the 5th Mexican driver to compete in Formula One, and the first since Héctor Rebaque competed between 1977 and 1981.
While Pérez topped the speed charts 2 days in a row, Ferrari's Fernando Alonso was close behind at 1:35.634 off 122 laps. Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo (who finished 7th on Thursday) was third-fastest yesterday with a best time of 1:35.743 having completed 66 laps, almost twice as many as Thursday's problem-riddled session.
"We did some good stuff in the afternoon," Ricciardo commented. "We had a go on the soft tire, which was nice, to see how the car responds with a bit more grip. We also did one long run at the end, which was very important, just to see how the car is behaving with the tires. A big improvement everywhere over yesterday and a much more optimistic outlook now I think."
Sebastian Vettel is now set to take over Red Bull's driving duties this weekend before the teams head for Australia and the March 16 Melbourne F1 season opener.

Updated: I've created a schedule of sessions and parties I plan to attend at SXSWi (maybe Sachi too!). You can see the schedule here. I suppose it's the time of year for directionally-based conferences. I'm heading up to Northern Voice in Vancouver this weekend and Sachi and I both will be heading south to Austin, Texas for SXSW Interactive starting March 7th. I hope we'll be able to meet you at one of these conferences.
Text and bullet points - they are dead, or at least used inappropriately. That was one of the overwhelming messages from VizThink, a two day conference on Visual Thinking. We agree. This was the first (of hopefully many) conferences on visual thinking put on by VizThink, the brainchild of Dave Gray of Xplane. It brought together people from around the world who focus in communicating with pictures. More info on the wiki.For example, on the first morning we sat down with three pediatric ER...

We're headed to a conference called VizThink in a few days. It's a conference on Visual Thinking. It wasn't clear to us when we got started, but our videos are examples of visual thinking and I've been keeping an eye out for related resources. One resource that I'm excited about is a forthcoming book by Dan Roam called The Back of the Napkin, which is all about solving problems and selling ideas with pictures. It comes out on March 13th and I'm looking forward to meeting Dan at VizThink... Continue Reading
I remember the exact moment when it first became apparent to me that there was such a thing as an explanation problem. I was at a small conference on Silicon Valley in early 2004. There was a CEO of a start up there and during his talk, he mentioned RSS. Someone raised their hand and asked the question "What is RSS?" This CEO's responses to the question, and I'm not kidding, was "RSS is an XML-based content syndication format." As you might expect, this was met with a look of bewilderment.... Continue Reading
VizThink is a conference about visual thinking. We'll be there leading a yet-to-named session that will focus on our story and the role of video and simplicity in communicating ideas with clarity. Since we started making videos, I had been meaning to talk to Dave Gray, the chairman of Xplane, author of the Communication Nation blog and the person who got VizThink off the ground. We had a great chat recently and I learned more about VizThink, which is not just a conference, but a... Continue Reading
I had high expectations for Gnomedex - a conference run by Chris Pirillo in Seattle. The only other one I went to was in 2005 and it was an amazing experience. There was this feeling of changing the world - people were hyped up and it was palpable. Unfortunately, this time around, I didn't feel the same. I didn't leave the event with an uplifted feeling - if anything, I left a bit of cynicism. As expected though, I met a raft load of interesting people so it was worth the effort by far...

I'm heading down to the Silicon Valley for the Online Community Unconference put on by my friends at Forum One. If you're unfamiliar with an unconference, check out this wikipedia entry. Basically it's a great way to get people together without all the baggage (and costs) of a "conference." I've signed up to lead a session on "New Community Planning" as I often find myself in the position to help plan a community-oriented sites. I'm not leading it because I have the answers - I'm...

I thought I was a decent speaker, really, I did. That was until I spent 4 hours with a speaking coach who essentially made me realize all things that should work together to make a speaker and presentation great. This is me last week at WebVisions: I have a long way to go, and it's hard work, but I consider my time with a coach well-spent. I've called that time "boot camp" because I felt like I my speaking was broken down and rebuilt. Here are some of the major points that came up for me... Continue Reading
This was my second WebVisions - a conference focused on "the future of the Web" that has happened in Portland, Oregon for the last seven years. I enjoy Webvisions and was honored to speak there this year. My talk was about how blogs, communities and mobile devices are changing the travel experience. Of course, it was all based on stories from our trip last year. The conference attracts a lot of designers and developers, along with business people working to get an understanding of the...

We're still reeling a bit from back-to-back conferences in two places that don't cater well to sleep or overall health: South-by-Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, Texas and Community 2.0 in Las Vegas. Conferences are a fire hose and six solid days is just too much to document. This entry is focused on some of the people and talks that mattered most to us. One of my favorite sessions of SXSW was called "People-Powered Products" with Derek Powazek of 8020 Publishing (makers of JPG Magazine), Heather... Continue Reading

Say we have $ h(x)=f(x)\cdot g(x)$ where $f$ and $g$ are continuous and strictly increasing. It follows they are differentiable almost everywhere and so is $h$. We also know that $f>0$ and $g>0$. I'm trying to find a straightforward proof that under these conditions, if $h$ is differentiable everywhere then both $f$ and $g$ are also differentiable everywhere. I have more structure on these functions but I was hoping I did need to impose additional assumptions.

Let $f(x)=g(x)=e^x$ for $x \le 0$, while for $x>0$ let $f(x)=1+(1/2)x$ and $g(x)=1+(3/2)x$. Then $h(x)=e^{2x}$ when $x \le 0$ and for $x>0$ it's $h(x)=1+2x+3x^2/4.$
So in this case neither of $f,g$ are differentiable at $0$, while $h$ is differentiable everywhere. (These functions are each positive and strictly increasing everywhere.)
Here is an ugly example:
Take $h(x) = (x+1)^6+1$, $g(x) = 1+2x+|x|$ on $|x| \le {1 \over 2}$.
Now let $f(x) = {h(x) \over g(x)}$.
All are strictly increasing, strictly positive and continuous. $g$ (and hence $f$) is not differentiable at $x=0$.

The name Eccles first appears in the records of Bantry House(now in the Boole Library of U.C.C.).It states that in 1835 Thomas Eccles rented land and buildings comprising 28 acres, 2 roods and 4 perches from the Earl of Bantry for the sum of £16 and 12 shillings - equivalent to €21.00 in today's currency - per annum. In 1835 Griffiths Valuation records that Thomas Eccles paid rent to the earl of Bantry of £25 and 2 shillings for hotel, office and land at Reenmeen, Glengarriff.
John Eccles, son of Thomas, carried out major reconstruction of the Eccles in 1890 and also changed the name from Glengarriff Inn to the Eccles Hotel.
In the early 1900's the Eccles Hotel was still in the ownership of the Eccles Family and was managed by a Mr. Courtney.
The hotel was leased to the British War office from 1918 to 1920. During this time it was known as the Queen Alexandria Home of Rest for Officers and was occupied by soldiers recuperating from the trauma of World War 1. It cost one guinea (€1.90) per week for full board with fishing and shooting rights. From 1920 to 1921 the hotel was occupied by troops of the Essex Regiment. The troops were under the command of Major Arthur Percival (later General) who subsequently saw action against the Japanese in Singapore in 1942.
From 1921 to 1927 the hotel was managed by a Mr. Duke and later on by a Mrs. Galli.
The inaugural meeting of the Irish cruising Club was held in the Eccles in 1929 and a plaque commemorating this was placed at the entrance of the hotel. On the 75th anniversary of the founding of the club in 2004 the ICC invited four of the sister cruising clubs from around the world to join them in a cruise of the southwest coast of Ireland. More than 180 boats and 750 members sailed to Glengarriff where there was a major function in the Eccles Hotel to commemorate the occasion.
In 1929 the hotel was assigned to a company called Irish Hotels Ltd.
An Italian businessman, Renato Fogliana, purchased the Eccles in 1977 but after a brief period it was sold on the the O'Keeffe family in 1978 whose company, Irish Enterprises Inc., operated it for the next nine years.
In 1987 the hotel was acquired by D & B Murphy.
The Hanratty Family purchased the Eccles Hotel in January 2000. Since then it has been completely refurbished while still retaining its magic and history. The official opening of the refurbished hotel was performed by An Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Mr. Bertie Ahern in October 2002.
In 1850 Wiliam Makepeace Thackeray (1811-1863) the famous journalist and writer boarded at the Eccles and described it as a pretty Inn.
George Bernard Shaw(1856-1950) stayed in the hotel in 1910/1911 and is reputed to have written extensively during his time here.
During the 1920's William Butler Yeats (poet & playwright) was a regular visitor to the Eccles Hotel. The Presidential Suite is named after him.

The photo journey of the water birth of my 3rd child, a son. at home in my living room. It was attended by two midwives, my husband, a best friend, and a photographer...it was amazing. One of the midwives is my best friend and we met when she was a student who attended the birth of my first child. She is so special to me after having attended and caught all my children as they entered this world..this was one of the only ways I could think to thank her and show her how much we love her. Enjoy.
