I've only been on this medication for about 2 months. I started March 17th and it is currently May 3rd.

I have been on Falmina for the last month and a half. I had really irrational PMS at first and got irritated more. It doesn't seem to be as much now. I experienced tender breasts but that hasn't been as bad now. I also have had more cravings for sweets and I have lost a lot of motivation.

Ease of Use
I noticed some hair loss after starting this birth control. I've always been retaining a lot of water weight even though I eat very healthy and regularly workout. But it's made my periods a lot shorter and super light which is great. I'm not pregnant so it's doing a pretty good job, knock on wood.

TC TO [WILLIAM HALL?] ; 18 December 1845; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18451218-TC-WHA-01; CL 20: 78
Bay House, Alverstoke, Hants 18 Decr, 1845—
Dear Sir,
Could you be so good as send off a Copy of the Cromwell, addressed, "Samuel Wells Esq, Fen Office, Ely";1—first writing on the fly-leaf of it, "From the Author with thanks." Mr Wells furnished me with some documentary matter; and now requests to have this honour done him.
Have you such a thing as a Proof of the Print of Cromwell? A friend of mine, whom I much value, wants one to frame. But about this latter I will make some more special application by and by.
We return to Chelsea on friday come a week; I hope to see you soon after that.
Yours always truly /

Lindsay Lohan Wraps Liz & Dick, Goes Back to Being a Redhead (PHOTO)
It's a wrap for Lindsay Lohan!
The actress not only just finished filming her upcoming Lifetime movie, "Liz & Dick," but she's also stopped looking like raven-haired Elizabeth Taylor — and has gone back to her trademark red locks.
Lohan, who celebrated her 26th birthday with a party over the weekend, posted on a photo on Twitter of her new (old) look, and simply wrote, "red hair."
She also tweeted out a "thank you" to "all my fans, crew members, friends & lifetime" for their support.
Though it wasn't a stress-free shoot for Lohan, Gossip Cop is happy to hear production wrapped without incident.

Date: December 13 2012
THE casino mogul James Packer is heading for the bright lights of Hollywood, setting up a production company with blockbuster director Brett Ratner.
The billionaire is joining forces with Ratner to form RatPac Entertainment, which will make independent films.
A spokesman for Mr Packer confirmed the partnership with the 43-year-old director and producer, describing it as ''a small private investment''.
Ratner, who directed Rush Hour, Red Dragon and X-Men: The Last Stand, told the Hollywood Reporter Ratpac would develop, produce and finance films on its own and in partnership with Hollywood studios.
''We intend to build a major independent film company which not only has the ability to fully finance its films but which also offers creative independence for its filmmakers,'' Ratner said.
The managing director of Fusion Strategy, Steve Allen, said Mr Packer's move into the film world was unexpected but not overly surprising considering that his family, particularly his father Kerry, had previously been involved in the industry.
''The Packers do have a long history, his father more than he, of getting into the film, mini series and television-production business because it was, at least, very attractive from an investment and tax point of view,'' he said.
The Packers had also invested in Hollywood studios, such as Lionsgate, in the past but that might have been to align supply contracts with the Nine Network when they owned it, Mr Allen said.
He said it was highly likely Mr Packer had had some recommendation from one of his Hollywood friends, such as Tom Cruise, about Ratner before deciding to go into business with him.
''There would have had to be some connection,'' Mr Allen said. ''He would have known the people or liked them or Tom Cruise, his supposed mate, would have said these are good people to get into business with.
''There has to be a reason. He doesn't do things on whims. He's not like his father.''
While the film industry would appear an odd fit with Mr Packer's main business interest, Crown Casino, Mr Allen said they were both essentially in the entertainment industry.
He said the film industry was always risky as bankable stars and high-profile directors did not guarantee hits. ''It's a high risk,'' he said. ''There's nothing certain in show business.''

Arizona took a quick lead in the opener when Bauer led off the first with a double, moved to second on Nicole Giordano's groundout and scored on a sacrifice liner to center by Toni Mascarenas. Fresno State answered with an unearned run in the top of the second on a single by Lindsey Fossatti, a UA error and an RBI double by Lori Hoffman.
Allison Andrade, who had three home runs on the night, hit her ninth of the
season with two
outs in the second to make it 2-1, then Bauer led off the third with home
run to left-center. An out later Toni Mascarenas singled and stole second,
then scored on Leneah Manuma's single up the middle to make it 4-1.
Bauer pushed the lead to 7-1 in the fourth with her second homer. Kim Balkan led off with a single and Manuma walked, then Bauer hit it over the fence, again in left-center. Finch ended the game with no outs in the bottom of the fifth with a home run to left after Manuma collected her third single.
Finch struck out 10. The home run was her 11th of the season.
In game two, UA also hit four home runs but used them to come from behind. The 99 the team has hit is one shy of tying Arizona's NCAA record of 100 by the 1995 Wildcats.
Fresno State took a 1-0 lead in the first, scoring an unearned run after UA catcher Lindsey Collins dropped a third-out popup behind the plate. Bulldogs second baseman Pam Perez singled in Becky Witt, who had singled and moved to third on a sacrifice and a groundout.
The Cats loaded the bases in the bottom of the first with no outs, but Fresno State starting pitcher Leslie Poole got Manuma on a fly ball, Finch on a strikeout and Mackenzie Vandergeest on a liner to end the threat.
Five hits pushed FSU's lead to 6-0 in the second. An RBI single by Vanessa Czarnecki brought in the first run and with two outs and the bases full, Fossatti drove a Jenny Gladding pitch into the eighth row beyond the left field fence.
Arizona got on the board with a solo home run by Andrade in the bottom of the second and added two more in the third on an RBI single by Finch and a sacrifice fly by Vandergeest. FSU scored an unearned run in the fourth on Fossatti's RBI ground-out that should have been the third out, to make it 7-3.
Manuma hit her 15th home run of the year in the fifth and Andrade hit her third of the night in the sixth to cut into the lead, 7-5. Pinch-hitter Lindsey Collins followed with a solo homer to cut the lead to a run, then Bauer doubled and scored on Giordano's single to tie the game, 7-7.
In the bottom of the ninth, Kim Balkan singled to right field and advanced to third on an error by fielder Mitzi Ing, then scored on Andrade's single to center for the winning run off FSU reliever Lori Hoffman (8-9).
UA's third pitcher in the game, Finch (18-0), earned the victory with three innings of one-hit relief. Andrade had five hits in the doubleheader, while Bauer had six. The Cats improved to 43-4 overall and Fresno State dropped to 31-17.

Are the proverbial springs popping out of Utah's collective head?
First we learn that we're No.1 as for buying online porn. (Not to mention, as Salt Lake magazine revealed, No. 1 for porn-addiction paranoia.)
Now, we learn that Utah Googles "Kama Sutra" more than another search term.
What happened to being the No. 1 puritanical state? The Byzantium of California's top search is "meat is murder" and Seattle, the Sodom of the Northwest, innocently searches the Web for "unicorn tattoos."
It makes sense, of course, when you consider Utah's cultural bans on sex education, masturbation and talking about sexuality in general. Add to that tens of thousands of pubescent-peaking, chastity bound returned missionaries looking for mates.
One might argue that a copy of the Kama Sutra in every bishop's office as a pre-marital counseling reference could improve young marriages and take a bite out of the so-called porn-addiction "plague."
BTW, Googling "Kama Sutra" is NSFW.

Have you ever wondered what will happen to a market if every day you are purchasing at X price and reselling at a higher price?
Look at eternal earths on your server. Many, many players know that you can make cheap items for disenchanting through the clever use of eternal earths, and thus these players are purchasing the earths if they are worth less than 2 infinite dusts. What happens to the price when this happens? Eventually, the price of earths rises slowly but surely to a value above being worth it to disenchant.
This happens in cycles, as people stop buying the earths because they can no longer disenchant for profit and the price will eventually drop back down to a level that enchanters will purchase at again.
Do you already see how this cycle could be valuable to you? Let's say you purchase 100 eternal earths for the purpose of disenchanting. You turn 60 of them into stoneguard bands and then disenchant. The other 40 you hold on to in your bank while you wait for the price of earths to rise. A week or two later the price of earths has gone from 5 gold to 10 gold per eternal. You post your 40 slowly in stacks of 1 and only repost when the couple you have up on the auction house get bought out. Instead of making 6 gold on average per two earths you are making 10 gold.
Infinite prices dropping can also cause earths to drop, this creates a great buying oppurtunity as less people will buy the earths and cause a surplus. Paying attention to the way markets react to each other is essential to being a good auctioneer.

There are much better more profitable uses for 2x Eternal Earth than turning them into a Stoneguard Band to D/E.
Markco said... May 25, 2009 at 3:34 PM
Care to share? Other alternatives I can think of are shadowmight bands or eternal belt buckles.
Rush said... May 25, 2009 at 5:48 PM
JC's get green gems by the truckload when prospecting. There are plenty of 3 crystalized earth/water/fire/life and 1 green gem items that can be DE'd and the mats for these items are even cheaper then stoneguard bands.
Anonymous said... May 25, 2009 at 8:28 PM
Buy Orange, Red, Blue or Yellow uncut gems from AH (or as previous poster said prospect them) and combine them with 2 crystallized earth to create jewellery which turns into 1-2 Infinite Dust or 1-2 Lesser Cosmic Essence when disenchanted.
Markco said... May 26, 2009 at 12:32 AM
Oh yeah I know but you said eternal earths*
Markco said... May 26, 2009 at 1:06 PM
WOOSH I forgot about using eternal earths for the lesser JC greens.
Brad said... May 26, 2009 at 1:35 PM
I greatly prefer the Shadowmight Band (1 earth + 1 shadow) to the Stoneguard band, mostly because it seems like eternal shadows have completely crashed of late. Earths might be going for anywhere from 5-9g, but I rarely see shadow above the 3g range, and more often it can be bought for 2g a piece. Thats a range of 7-12g to make one shadowmight vs 10-18g for a stoneguard.
Wrathskellar said... May 27, 2009 at 10:09 AM
One of the first ways I used the AH for profit was the JC/DE method, but I have not been able to do so for quite some time now. On my server, the price of the Earths and the price of the DE mats have hovered at nearly equivalent price for several months. There is not even enough difference to cover the auction house cut. I still see chat messages near the AH as people craft the JC items, so I can only assume they have found cheap suppliers. The prices rarely fluctuate either.

Its still snowing outside, here in Akron, and a trip to the craft store of choice seems just a little bit foolhardy. It is the perfect time to go through the craft stashes and see what can be made with what is on hand.
Perhaps you have a project or two that are in progress that are waiting to be done? Now is the perfect time to curl up with a warm blanket and finish those projects waiting in your "to do" pile.
If you are that rare crafting enthusiast who is all caught up on their projects there are still plenty of new project ideas that you can access for free on the Internet.
If you knit or crochet, there are hundreds of one skein projects out there. Almost all knitters have an extra skein lying around, either left over from another project or waiting for a purpose. If you don't have any patterns available, the Internet is a great resource. The mother daughter team that writes Craftiblog has compiled a whole list of one skein crochet projects here. In 2007 and 2009 Oregonlive.com had contests for the best free one skein knitted patterns and projects and they are all listed on their site, where you can access and print whichever one tickles your fancy.
But what about all of the crafters who like to sew that dwell in the snowy wonderland that is Akron? Do not worry, there are plenty of resources for you as well. Remember, the goal is to stay off the streets and let the snow plows do their job, so it is time to open up the scrap stashes and donation bags and find a purpose for these wonderful leftovers. There are plenty of scrap projects out there. Over at tipnut there is a lovely list of 50 projects that are small and easy to do that will use up your scrap pile in no time.
If you don't have any scraps than you could always open up the closet. Are there any clothes that no longer fit or are out of date? There are plenty of tutorials on how to change these pieces into new and trendy clothing. Cut Out And Keep, Craftster, and Threadbanger, are all great sources for tutorials and inspiration. You could make something warm or start your new spring wardrobe.
If you are a crafting mom or dad and need something to occupy the kids, there is a great site of crafts for kids collected by Enchanted Learning. Most of the crafts use items that are generally found around the house so you won't have to venture out into the cold.
Think of your winter crafting as an early spring cleaning. Be creative and try to only use items you have around the house. Remember what Thomas Edison said, "To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk." So get crafting and stay warm!

The boards of both holding companies have unanimously approved the merger, which is subject to customary conditions. Closing is anticipated to occur October 1. The new company will operate under the Momentive Performance Materials name.
The capital structures of both Momentive Performance Materials Holdings Inc. and Hexion LLC and their respective subsidiaries will remain separate and in place. Upon closing, with 117 production facilities, more than 10,000 associates, pro forma annualized sales of approximately $7.5 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $1.24 billion, the new Momentive will be one of the world's largest specialty chemicals and materials companies. The new company will have operations located to serve all major regions of the world with a broad portfolio of specialty performance products for industrial and consumer markets.
Affiliates of investment firm Apollo Management, L.P. own a controlling interest in both Hexion and Momentive. Based in Columbus, Ohio, Hexion serves industrial customers with a wide range of specialty chemicals. Momentive, based in Albany, New York, provides industrial customers and consumers with silicone- and quartz-based specialty materials.
"We believe the time is right to unify these two companies into a global leader in the specialty materials space," said Josh Harris, Managing Partner and co-founder of Apollo Management. "Once the transaction is completed, the combined company will be able to provide customers with a full range of specialty chemicals and materials and will have significant operations in virtually all major world markets. The transaction does not require any additional financing and will result in significant synergies that will enhance the financial profile of the new Momentive."
Craig O. Morrison, Chairman and CEO of Hexion, will become Chairman and CEO of the combined company upon completion of the merger. Dr. Jonathan Rich, President and CEO of Momentive, will join the Board of Directors of the newly formed company and will continue his association with Apollo Management.

Panama City Mayor Lauren DeGeorge wants city commissioners to consider adopting eight-year term limits.
Presently, the mayor serves a two-year term, and commissioners serve 4-year terms. But, there is no limit on the number of terms they can serve, as long as the voters keep electing them.
Mayor DeGeorge says term limits would ensure new blood flows into city government, but Tuesday night some commissioners said there's already a process in place to change the commission. One of those was Ward Two Commissioner Jonathan Wilson.
"Term limits, I think we have terms limits. Every four years we have an election. People speak. If they want us we're there, if not we're gone. We've got term limits."
By the way, each of the city commissioners has served at least ten years.
In other business, commissioners decided not to oppose upgrading the Panama City Crayfish from a "species of concern" to a "threatened species."
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials are trying to upgrade the crayfish's status. Commissioners say they will wait to respond until wildlife officials release their final study.
Part of that study suggests improved wetland areas to encourage growth of the crayfish habitat, but City Manager Ken Hammons is concerned protecting the wetland will hinder development and create a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
Fish and Wildlife officials will release the final study in two weeks.

In most industrial manufacturing processes, the key challenges faced by production are maximising production output and minimising expenditure, while at the same time enhancing quality and satisfying complicated, strict and varying regulatory requirements.
At each stage of the production process, from raw material supply to shipping of the finished product, time-dependent quality control analysis is needed in order to ensure product integrity and smooth production operations. Making sure that chemical specifications are met at each major stage will result in a predictable, reliable and high-quality product, thus enabling time and cost savings.
An analytical technique that is gaining widespread acceptance is the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis that is used in a large number of manufacturing industries. It provides quick and economic solutions to time critical analysis on easy to use instruments, at different stages in the production process.
In the following paper, XRF for an industrial mineral, e.g. cement analysis is discussed in detail. However all of the advantages described below also apply for a range of industrial processes. These include minerals such as silica sand, china clay, bauxite, limestone etc, petroleum products that include fuels, oils, lubricants, plastics such as polypropylene, PET, etc, healthcare products such as cosmetics and medical, chemicals such as catalysts and sealants and general analysis that includes environmental analysis and recycling.
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is a popular analytical technique for the study of raw materials, intermediate and finished products enabling ease in sample preparation, speed and precision of analysis.
Bench-top, advanced XRF instruments, such as the X-Supreme8000, now provide a cost-efficient solution for ensuring consistent product quality. They offer superior performance analysis, with field proven high consistency and are run by production staff round the clock. These systems can be used both to measure the key elements that include magnesium, aluminium, silicon, calcium, iron in cement making materials at major points in the manufacturing process and/or as a backup to another XRF. Used either independently or as part of an automated system, XRF instruments ensure conformance to ISO standards that require compliance with 24/7 continuous product analysis. The benchtop X-Supreme8000 XRF analyzer is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. X-Superme8000 Benchtop XRF analyser
X-ray fluorescence spectrometry is accepted in the cement industry as a suitable analytical technique. The instruments are classified into two broad categories that include wavelength dispersive (WDXRF) and bench-top energy dispersive spectrometers (EDXRF).
Bench-top EDXRF systems are compact, low-cost, single sample such as Lab-X3500 or multi-sample such as the X-Supreme8000 shown in Figure 1. These instruments are easy to install and are often situated in different locations, that include a quarry, grinding plant, blending site, at-line, control room, or in the laboratory.
Advanced EDXRF instruments offer a field proven tough and consistent solution. They use matched X-ray tube and solid state superior resolution, and high count-rate detectors for the elemental determination of low atomic number elements such as sodium in cement and chlorine in clinker, as well as the standard range of cement making elements, that include Mg, Al, Si, S, K, Ca and Fe.
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) takes place when elements in a sample are excited at an atomic level; when they return to their initial state they emit a characteristic X-ray photon. Each element emits a distinct X-ray energy so an XRF spectrometer consists of a source of excitation, and selective detection and quantification of the characteristic elemental X-ray photons. A calibration line is then utilized to perform quantitative analysis.
The Lab-X3500 and X-Supreme8000 are examples of EDXRF instruments that have been used successfully in cement analysis. Some of the benefits are of using these instruments are listed below:
Table1. Results obtained from calibration for CI.(* The measurement time is a simultaneous time measuring Na, Mg, Al, Si, S and Cl)
Figure 2. Two superimposed X-ray spectra of cement samples, with an X-ray Region of Interest (ROI) for Cl covering the X-ray energy range 2.55-2.71 keV.
In regular production, control samples are often measured as pressed pellets. The powder sample is first ground in a swing mill to ensure a reliable particle size, and then compressed using a hydraulic press at 20 tons to produce a strong pellet. A 40mm sample holder then holds the pressed pellet as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Standard 40mm sample holder with cement pellet in place
For superior quality production control the instrument is first calibrated which involves measuring a range of well analyzed samples of known elemental content. In the determination of Cl in cement, an X-ray "Region of Interest" (ROI) is defined around the Cl peak and the X-ray intensity obtained for each calibration standard is measured. The calibration after applications of X-ray corrections is shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4. Calibration regression for Cl in Cement
For a comprehensive cement analysis the data in Table 2 shows the performance for the remaining cement elements.
Table 2. Typical calibration performance for full cement analysis (XSMET-03B)
The precision was calculated from 10 repeat measurements of NIST standards. The standards were chosen so that the analytes' concentration matched the calibration mid-range. In addition from the X-Supreme8000's instrument repeatability it can be seen to comply with the precision requirements of the ASTM C114 "Standard methods of chemical analysis of hydraulic cement".
On a 24/7 basis production personnel can load from one to ten samples onto the sample carousel, enter the sample data either by touch screen, mouse or bar code reader and the measurement begins. For a single measurement in simultaneous analysis mode provisional results on major elements are displayed after just five seconds of measurement. This gives a rapid assessment of elemental content, allowing confirmation of product quality.
In case several samples are being measured, the clear yellow/red/green labels for each sample shows that those samples that have already been measured and those awaiting analysis.
Once each measurement is done, customer specified "cement moduli calculations" are also performed on the final result. Examples include lime saturation factor (LSF), silica ratio (SR), alumina ratio (AR), and these are calculated and shown at the end of each measurement allowing optimization of the production process as shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5. Display of results and cement calculations displayed on the X-Supreme8000
Once the results are accepted they can be printed and/or stored as specified by the manager in the analytical method. Results can be obtained remotely by other PC based systems for subsequent data storage or as part of a centralized quality control system.
In addition to the inherent high consistency of EDXRF, remote diagnostics can be performed allowing an on-going "health check" using in-built samples placed underneath the sample carousel. This leads to preventative maintenance ensuring that the instrument continues to perform to specification. Any servicing requiring additional components are then readily available to minimize downtime.
Cost-effective XRF analysis with field proven consistency can now be achieved with instruments located on or near a production site and operated by production staff providing round-the-clock analysis coverage ensuring consistent product quality by employing user-friendly, yet powerful and accurate XRF instruments such as the Lab-X3500 and X-Supreme8000 from Oxford Instruments.

A tubing accident ended the life of 16-year-old Emily Fedorko off Greenwich Point on Wednesday. An afternoon of four friends tubing on Long Island Sound turned fatal when Emily and a friend fell off the tube that was being towed by a boat. When the boat circled around to retrieve the girls in the water they were struck by the boat's propeller, according to Connecticut News on Aug. 8.
Emily's friend was seriously injured by the boat's propeller. Two other friends were in the boat as the four Connecticut teens enjoyed a summer afternoon on the shore of the Nutmeg State.
The police dispatcher got the 911 call at 2:28 p.m. that requested "multiple emergency medical units, fast," according to The Greenwich Times. Drew Marzullo, who has spent the past 23 years on the Greenwich Emergency Medical Service as a paramedic said that something about the call was unsettling to him.
As a veteran on the team he has learned that many 911 calls sound bad, but they actually are not. The call to go to Greenwich Point was not one of those times, this was bad, said Marzullo.
Marzullo's team was nine miles away from the accident and they rushed to get there. Joe Soto, who is the director of the Greenwich Emergency Services was closer, just six minutes out from the location. Soto and another GEMS supervisor rushed to get to the Greenwich Yacht Club, where the dispatcher told them to meet the boat.
Soto and his co-worker were the first emergency medical personal to arrive on scene. They saw a police officer looking awfully grim standing on the dock next to the boat.
The two girls who had been inside the boat when the accident occurred were escorted inside the yacht club, but the two girls who were in the water and hit with the boat's propellers remained on the floor of the boat.
According to the Greenwich Times, all four girls, two who were 15 and two who were 16, were out on one of their father's boats. The 16-year-old driving the boat was licensed to do so. They were tubing, being pulled by a powerful 21-foot Wahoo, powered by a 200 horsepower outboard engine, when they hit a wave and thrown off the tube.
The two teens in the boat circled back to pick up their friends in the water, but the girls were hit by the propeller. The two teens on the boat had to work past their shock. They pulled the two girls into the boat and sped off to the dock at the yacht club.
Emily was badly cut about the torso and the other girl's leg was badly cut by the propeller blades. When the EMTs arrived a police officer was in the boat attending to the wounds on the girl whose leg was badly injured. Another police officer stood on the dock, as it was apparent there was nothing that anyone could do for Emily.
Soto said that her injuries could not sustain life. She was "essentially dead on arrival" at the dock. They attended to the other girl until the first ambulance arrived. She was put on an "advanced life-support system" and transported to Stamford Hospital where she received "extensive stitching." She is recuperating from her wounds.
Once the injured girl was transported, the EMTs turned their attention to the girls inside the yacht club. While they did not have any bodily injuries, they were dealing with a tragic event. They needed to be taken to the hospital for further evaluation.
According to Greenwich Times, "the entire medical response lasted 30 minutes." After the paramedics and police had done their jobs, they too had to deal with what they just witnessed. Marzullo explained:
"The fact that these were children takes it to a different level," he said. "We're not immune to emotion, no matter how long you've been doing this. I couldn't stop thinking about the girl and her family and still can't."

There are many ways to display and process HTML forms with Cheetah. But basically, all form processing involves two steps.
The second step may involve choosing between several templates to fill (or several servlets to redirect to), or a big if-elif-elif-else construct to display a different portion of the template depending on the situation.
In the oldest web applications, step 1 and step 2 were handled by separate objects. Step 1 was a static HTML file, and step 2 was a CGI script. Frequently, a better strategy is to have a single servlet handle both steps. That way, the servlet has better control over the entire situation, and if the user submits unacceptable data, the servlet can redisplay the form with a "try again" error message at the top and and all the previous input filled in. The servlet can use the presence or absence of certain CGI parameters (e.g., the submit button, or a hidden mode field) to determine which step to take.
One neat way to build a servlet that can handle both the form displaying and form processing is like this:
VALUE= attribue.
Place another placeholder next to each field, for that field's error
$processFormData method call.
#extends. (Or
if it's a simple method, you can define it in a
#def.) The method
FunFormKit is a third-party Webware package that makes it easier to

Recap | Final Stats | Photo Gallery
Arizona Head Coach Sean Miller
"There was definitely a big change for us from the first game, especially from Jesse Perry and Kyryl Natyazhko. They tried hard to get the rebound and really showed a great effort. We rebounded a lot better tonight, and that was a key factor into the result."
"On the positive side, we really challenged ourselves by playing by playing these quality Division II teams. They both did well last season, and they're going to win a lot of games this season. They execute, are well coached, and these two opponents made us better. Obviously we have a low starting point, and a long way to go, but we know a lot more about our team now than we did two weeks ago."
"In order to be successful, we have to be good at team defense, rebounding, and a lot of guys need to step up and fill some big roles. The guys who want bigger roles are going to have to step up and get it done. We may not play nine or ten players like we did last season. We might play eight guys who have bigger roles and play a lot more minutes. Just because you have Arizona on your jersey doesn't mean I'm going to put you in the game. If the older players want a bigger role, then they're going to have to deal with the pressure and execute."
"Defense is the key to winning, and I'm grateful that Humboldt State played some two-three zone because we need to learn it. It's November first, and I would have loved to play this team in three or four days, but instead they challenged us and gave us a lot of difficult looks. We don't have our zone offense set yet, and it's going to be something we have to be ready for when the season starts."
Arizona Player Quotes
Junior Forward Solomon Hill
On comparing this game from the last game:
"This game was a lot faster and this team pushed the game more, we need to get better on defense. Tonight we took this game more seriously and we put ourselves in a good position before halftime. We learned from the first team we played (Seattle Pacific) and we need to take a note from them."
Junior Center Kyryl Natyazhko
"In the last game Jesse and I only made a few rebounds but tonight we really stepped up and we did much better."
"Tonight we made a great team effort, and we got a lot of points because we worked together which also gave us more confidence."
Senior Forward Jesse Perry
On tonight's performance:
"We need better preparation for the game, but we came through tonight and everybody got a feel for the game. We were more prepared for this game then for the last."
"We have four freshmen so everyone that came back is trying to become a leader. We are all going to have growing pains. The last game put us in a better mindset for this game, and both games that we have played so far will help us in the long run."

The skills economy is a global marketplace and learners in Wales – and Welsh industry more broadly - need to be able to compete with the best. Colleges in Wales are responding to global competition by looking outwards and challenging themselves against the best in the world. This week (5-8 October), the focus is on WorldSkills, the world's largest skills competition which is staged in London this year.
Within Wales, further education colleges are committed to achieving high quality through seeking to meet the ever-higher challenging quality benchmarks set by the Welsh Government and judged by Estyn, Her Majesty's Inspectorate in Wales. Now, colleges are looking beyond national boundaries and are seeking to measure quality and success in vocational skills in international terms.
Wales' colleges are broadening their horizons and those of their learners. The newly launched CollegesWales International, the international arm of ColegauCymru / CollegesWales, is creating opportunities for apprentices from Wales to have work placements in Europe and is developing strong links with China. Through such international opportunities it is becoming evident that, as much as Wales has to offer other countries for example in helping to develop strong quality management processes, Wales has a lot to learn from other countries in developing learners' vocational skills at a worldclass level.
There has been much discussion about Wales' performance in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) results, which is a test for 15 year olds. For 18-25 year olds who are pursuing a vocational career, WorldSkills is the key measure of success. It is the global stage whereby countries are ranked according to their cutting edge precision skills or worldclass creative flair. For obvious reasons it is dubbed the 'Skills Olympics'.
WorldSkills hasn't always been on Wales' radar. Things started to change two years ago, when two students from Wales competed as part of Team UK in WorldSkills 2009 in Calgary, Canada. Team UK notched up a highly creditable 7th position overall out of 43 countries.
This year, with WorldSkills being staged in the UK, Wales' colleges have realised the potential that WorldSkills offers to lift learners' aspirations beyond the local and plant them firmly in the global marketplace.
This week at WorldSkills London 2011, Wales' colleges have:
In the run-up to WorldSkills London 2011, Wales has been a keen participant in Wales-level skills competitions, having entered the third highest number of entries in across the UK nations and English regions for WorldSkills 2011. It has also been selected to perform more than twice the number of showcases on the WorldSkills stage than would be expected from a country the size of Wales. College staff have also been recognised – with three staff from Wales' colleges working with Team UK. And we have one competitor from Wales in Team UK.
Wales is performing strongly against national and international comparators, then.
However, when it comes to the very best in the world, Wales could do better. We are under-represented in the UK team.
Success breeds success. Having three members of college staff from Wales as supervisors or managers for Team UK with experience of working at top international competition level should prove a key resource for all of Wales' colleges in moving forward.
Ian Thompson, a Team UK Manager from Coleg Llandrillo explained: "Bringing everyone together in the competition atmosphere allows individuals to shine and compare themselves skills wise to the rest of the world. This then drives up the skill level of all countries as they compete to the best.
"I know that being on an international stage will show me how the rest of the world compares to us and where we are in relation to them. From this I can then influence what is taught on the courses within my college and what we should be doing differently, if anything, in order to get the best educated students and employees in the world."
With its sights on WorldSkills 2011 and WorldSkills 2013, the Welsh Government appointed Barry Liles, Principal of Coleg Sir Gâr as WorldSkills Champion for Wales. Mr Liles chairs a network of WorldSkills Champions from the further education sector which is proving to be a key driver for Wales-wide collaborations to raise skills levels through competitions.
Dr John Graystone, Chief Executive of ColegauCymru / CollegesWales said: "Further education colleges in Wales are becoming recognised as high quality institutions by the Welsh Government and Her Majesty's Inspectorate. In international terms, we are doing well, but know we have much to do.
"National and international competitions can provide the spur for both staff and students to challenge and stretch themselves continually. WorldSkills is proving to be a strong inspirational catalyst in raising aspirations so that Wales can match the best in the world. I wish all of our participants from Wales every success in WorldSkills London 2011 and look forward to seeing Wales develop a stronger position for WorldSkills Leipzig 2013."

I came up with the following proof of the above theorem which is the key to the Galois's theory of algebraic equations. The usual proof uses Lagrange resolvent or Hilbert 90 which uses a similar trick. This proof is conceptual. Is this proof well-known?
Let $K$ be a field. Let $n$ be a positive integer which is not divisible by the characteristic of $K$. Suppose $K$ contains an $n$-th primitive root of unity. Let $L$ be a cyclic extension of degree n over a field $K$. Then there is an element $y$ of $L$ such that $L = K(y)$ and $y^n$ is an element of $K$.
Proof: Let $\sigma$ be a generator of the Galois group of $L/K$. It is well-known that $1,\sigma,\dotsc,\sigma^{n-1}$ are linearly independent over $K$. Hence, since $\sigma^n = 1$, $X^n - 1$ is the minimal polynomial of $\sigma$ over $K$. Let $f(x)$ be the characteristic polynomial of $\sigma$. By the Cayley-Hamilton theorem, $f(\sigma) = 0$. Hence $f(X)$ is divisible by $X^n - 1$. Since $f(X)$ is monic and the degree of $f(X)$ is $n$, $f(X) = X^n - 1$. Let $\zeta$ be an $n$-th primitive root of unity. Since $f(\zeta) = 0$, $\zeta$ is an eigenvalue of $\sigma$. Hence there is an element $y \neq 0$ of $L$ such that $\sigma(y) = \zeta y$. Since $\sigma(y^n) = (\zeta y)^n = y^n$, $y^n$ is an element of $K$ by the fundamental theorem of Galois theory. $\sigma(y^i) = (\zeta y)^i = (\zeta^i)y^i,i = 0,1,\dotsc,n - 1$. Hence $1,y,\dotsc,y^{n-1}$ are eigenvectors of $1,\zeta,\dotsc,\zeta^{n-1}$ respectively. Hence $1,y,\dotsc,y^{n-1}$ are linearly independent over K. Hence $L = K(y)$.

Straying from the subject, I'll just make a note here: The issue with fertilizers is how much should be used to make the most of the resource. If you increase the amount of water or fertilizer applied to a field, you increase crop yield at a diminishing rate. The idea would be to accept a reduced usage to make to most of the resource because don't forget that the majority of nitrates and fertilizers used are chemicals, not animal waste. By accepting a 10%-20% drop in crop yield, you might be able to extend supplies of these chemicals by decades where you will have an overall greater amount of food produced in the long run.
In agriculture, there will always be demand for livestock, but if we were to only use products that we would normally just throw away or are undesirable; that would be a means to utilize waste products for meat production. When I said 'most' farmland, I mean using much more of the land for human consumption. The potato has most of the nutrients we need to live, not to mention the highest calorie-land ratio of any food.
I simply would suggest that the ethanol production that we have in placed be abandoned and only used on a limited scale where the products used are not grown on prime farmland or with corn planted for that purpose. Only when something would otherwise be thrown away as waste should biomass be used for animal feed or ethanol production. With more food can come more to export or a greater population carrying capacity.
Also the issue of growth rate depends upon birth/death rates. When a population multiplies, it's because the death rate declines, but birth rate remains the same. Once there is an abundance of technology and people, then the birth rate falls. The problem after that comes from either an unbalanced population pyramid with fewer children to elderly, or highly variable birth rate that depends on the economy.
If we can prepare a plan where a state can sustain a population reduction, anticipating fewer children and more elderly, then great. However, Japan and Italy doesn't have such a plan; but they aren't even willing to accept foreign born children to take the place of the declining population of offspring. They need to increase the number of children they have, or they will suffer economic problems for a generation or more.

A Look Back: 2012 The Moments - No. 1
Texas Tech shutout North Texas 2-0 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Aug. 2, 2013
In a special weeklong series we take a look back at the top-five moments from the historic 2012 Texas Tech soccer season. The Red Raiders made unprecedented leaps last year, advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament and breaking the school record for wins. This week, we reflect on the individual moments that made the 2012 season one to remember.
Texas Tech opens the 2013 season Aug. 23 at New Mexico and hosts its home opener Aug. 25 against Colorado State.
No. 1 - Red Raiders Put on a Show in NCAA First Round Match, Shutout North Texas 2-0Texas Tech 2 North Texas 0 - Recap | Official Box Score | Photo Gallery | Highlights
2013 Schedule
Nov. 10, 2012 - Texas Tech vs. North Texas (NCAA First Round Match)
LUBBOCK, Texas - In front of a standing-room only crowd of over 1,700 at the John Walker Soccer Complex, Texas Tech put on a show in its NCAA Tournament debut. Led by senior Dawn Ward who netted two goals on the evening, the Red Raiders shutout North Texas 2-0 as the Red Raiders moved onto the second round with a dominant performance.
Ward netted both goals early in the second half as the pair came within nine minutes of each other to seal all of the momentum Tech would need for the first round victory. Her first strike came at the 50:09 mark off a long pass from freshman forward Janine Beckie. Ward took the feed inside the box, and punched a header past North Texas goalkeeper Jackie Kerestine.
The header broke a scoreless tie and erupted the packed John Walker Soccer Complex.
The Midland senior then connected again in the 59th minute of play off a long pass from freshman Hannah Devine across the penalty box. The goal was Ward's 24th of her decorated career and moved her into a tie for fourth all-time at Tech.
Tech maintained the two-goal lead for the remainder of the second half while the announced crowd of 1,738 was later confirmed as the third-largest nationally among 2012 first and second matches. Tech ended the 2012 season in the top-25 nationally for home attendance averaging over 1,000 for 10 home matches.
Relive Tech's NCAA First Round victory over North Texas with our full recap in the link above.
