The Engineering International Foundation Programme (IFP) is a mixture of English language and Engineering based modules, designed for students who want to progress into Cardiff School of Engineering or the School of Computer Science and Informatics.
Undergraduate degree programmes in the Schools of Engineering and Computer Science & Informatics combine theoretical study of fundamental concepts with practical application of skills through laboratory and project-based work. The programmes are designed to be stimulating, flexible and relevant both to the needs of a professional career and as a basis for advanced graduate studies in specialist areas.
The Cardiff School of Engineering is recognised as one of the best-equipped Engineering schools of all UK universities in terms of facilities, research and teaching and the Cardiff School of Computer Science & Informatics has a leading international reputation for research-led teaching, with dedicated laboratories for specialist areas of research.
Both schools produce highly-skilled and employable graduates, many of whom will have benefited from industry-based placements and projects.
This module aims to improve overall ability in English and to develop academic study skills for immediate use. On completion of the modules, you should be able to:

The course here in Cardiff employs several teaching methods, all chosen to deliver the tuition you need in the best possible way.
Lectures allow you to gain a comprehensive base of knowledge. Lecturers make use of a range of resources and facilities to provide the information you need. During lectures you will be given written material (handouts), information about exams and essays, and multi-media presentations. You may even find that you are invited to give your own presentation.
These are smaller discussion groups of three to ten students, led by tutors. This is an ideal time to discuss any questions after lectures, and an opportunity to fully understand the subjects you are studying.
You can arrange to meet any tutor to discuss any aspect of the course. For example, if there is something you did not understand in a lecture or seminar, or if you want to discuss the progress of your project or essay - or any other topic you want to talk about. All students are encouraged to speak individually to their tutors if they have any questions or problems; your tutor will always be pleased to see you and happy to help.
Every department has a staff/student panel which consists of teaching staff and elected student members who meet to discuss academic issues. Any issues that you feel need attention can be alerted to your student representative who will raise the query with the panel. This way the opinions and ideas of students get a hearing which can lead to the way your course is run being changed. This means that each course is constantly being reviewed to make it the best scheme of study available for students.
A variety of assessment methods are used including written essays, reports, presentations, project work and final examinations. All written tasks are word processed and normally submitted electronically. You will be awarded a score out of 100 for each module:

When it comes to the web industry (or computer industry for that matter) men generally rule the roost. In 2007 A List Apart published their web design survey results and found that out of nearly 33,000 professionals who participated, 82.8% were male while only 16.1% were female (1.1% gave no answer).
However, as I browse the web today I'm finding more and more inspirational and creative websites from females across the globe. Just because there are more men involved in the web community doesn't mean that the best stuff comes from us. There's a certain elegance, beauty and tone that the female touch can add to a design.
I've compiled a list of
25 26 female web designers who I believe are hot at web design and whose designs are an inspiration to the whole of the web design community.

It's Christmas in July! Or for those that can actually think about Christmas in July, (don't you usually hate those people), Danny Zelikso Presents and the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix announced today two upcoming Christmas themed shows. The Celebrity Theatre will host the legendary Charlie Daniels Band and their Greatest Hits & Holiday Classic Show at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, December 11, 2014. Four nights later, on Monday, December 15, at 7:30 p.m., the Celebrity Theatre will be rocking with the Brian Setzer Orchestra Christmas Rocks Extravaganza.
Although always a Nashville regular, Charlie Daniels was able to cross over successfully many times into the pop rock arena, riding the Southern rock wave that was popular in the 1970's. Daniels had some success with songs such as "The South's Gonna Do It Again," "Long Haired Country Boy," and "Uneasy Rider."
This year Daniels celebrated the thirty fifth anniversary of his mainstream breakout hit "The Devil Went Down To Georgia." The song was a number one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles and reached number three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Follow up top forty songs included "In America," "The Legend of Wooley Swamp" and "Still in Saigon."
So why is a country boy doing a Christmas show? Charlie Daniels has released four Christmas albums since 1990, his most current one being 2012's "Hallelujah, It's Christmas Time Again."
In April of this year Charlie Daniels released his first new studio album since 2007, "Off the Grid – Doin' It Dylan," a tribute to the songs of Bob Dylan. "Having new material to play on the live show is like pouring a little hot sauce on your morning eggs, it just adds a little extra zest to the set," says the 77-year-old Charlie Daniels.
Brian Setzer first came to fame as the guitarist for the 1980's rockabilly trio, The Stray Cats. In 1990, Setzer changed gears and went from rockabilly to swing when he formed the Brian Setzer Orchestra.
Success has found Setzer in both musical genres. The Stray Cats had three top ten hits in the United States, "Stray Cat Strut," "Rock This Town" and "(She's) Sexy + 17. The Brian Setzer Orchestra has earned three Grammy Awards. Their version of Louis Prima's "Jump, Jive and Wail," earned Setzer a Grammy award as 1998's Best Pop Performance By A Duo or Group with Vocal. Setzer, along with his band, also won two Grammy Awards for Best Pop Instrumental Performance, one for 1998 's "Sleep Walk," and another for "Caravan" in 2000.
In 2002, Setzer and his orchestra released the first of their Christmas albums, "Boogie Woogie Christmas." Along with 2005's "Dig That Crazy Christmas," and 2010's "Christmas Comes Alive!," as one might expect, the albums contain traditional Christmas music done with a big band swing flair. They are a must have for anyone's Christmas music catalog.
Later this year Setzer is returning to his love of rockabilly with his release of the album "Rockabilly Riot! All Original." Despite the Brian Setzer Orchestra's big band sound, you can expect to hear some rockabilly in the Christmas show as well.
Last year, Setzer's performance at the Celebrity Theatre was a five star effort. It was one of the must see concerts of 2013. His Christmas show for 2014 is another must see event.
With these two upcoming concerts, for those who find it nearly intolerable, it's okay to embrace Christmas in July. Tickets for Charlie Daniels will be priced at $38, $58 and $68, plus any fees and will go on sale at 10 a.m. on Thursday, July 24, 2014. Tickets for Brian Setzer will be priced at $60 and $78, plus fees and will go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, July 25, 2014. Tickets for both shows can be purchased at the Celebrity Theatre Box Office or online at www.celebritytheatre.com. To charge by phone, call 602-267-1600 ext. 1. All tickets are subject to a surcharge. Further information can be obtained through Danny Zelisko Presents.

If accurate, the dual-slot GTX 550 Ti is based on the 40nm GF116 GPU, featuring 192 CUDA cores, 32 texture units, and GPU/shader clocks of 900/1800MHz. It will also carry 1GB of GDDR5 memory with a 128-bit bus and an effective speed of 4100MHz, while peak power consumption is rated at 110W.
Pricing seems to start around �160 ($220), which puts the new mainstream card in the general vicinity of overclocked GeForce GTX 460s and the Radeon HD 6870. It's also just below the recently reviewed GTX 560 Ti, which uses Nvidia's GT114 GPU with double the CUDA cores and memory interface.
Spec-wise, the GF116 looks very similar to the GF106, which powered the last-gen GTS 450 (currently $120 before rebates). However, it seems Nvidia believes the new chip's speedier frequencies (900/1800MHz versus 783/1566MHz) grant it access to the GTX branding and inherently higher pricing.

I would imagine that the overall answers to this will push me over to Functional Reactive Programming, but... bear with me for a bit.
I also don't have example code for this question. I have wandered near the topic with some of my code, but I have stayed firmly in the IO monad with it.
Imagine that I have an application in which I am modelling somewhat complex state and put it into an overall Application State monad. I am doing it this way because I am wanting a certain level of detachment between my core application and the particular user interface.
data S = S DataStore EventStream Sockets
type AppState m = StateT S m
(assume that DataStore, EventStream, and Sockets are all data types that do basically what they sound like :))
Now, say I want to create a table in GTK (TreeView, but no child nodes) that views only the EventStream. I have already learned to do that by saying
listStoreNew event_stream >>= treeViewNewWithModel (see http://markus.alyra.org/?p=1023 where I talked pretty extensively about the mechanics of setting this up).
But, now I have a mutable copy of data that is in my AppState monad. When the application goes off and does something that appends new data to the EventStream, that will not show up in the view. The only way I can think of it make it show up in the view is to send it over with a message like
listStoreInsert my_new_event in addition to the changes made to the monad. That's doable, but is starting to feel clumsy.
Worse, though, this mythical tree view is an administrative view! It's editable! The admin says "oh, that event has some invalid data, I want to change it!". Now, I have no problems changing the data that is in the ListStore I created above. I can create callbacks that make the update with no problem. But I cannot think at all of how to get the update into the Global AppState Monad.
And those last few words show the core of the problem. If I have a global AppState Monad, then anything that updates that monad has to be in one line of execution with everything that wants to view the monad. The TreeView breaks that. When a cell gets edited in the TreeView monad, the edit handler runs entirely in the IO monad and is expected to return nothing. The end data type is
IO (). Even if I had some nifty way to unwrap data from my AppState, then do the edit handler, and then re-wrap the data in my AppState, no other branch of the application could see it.
Even if I can figure out how to create my own completely custom ModelView instance that provides a read-only view into my AppState, I cannot think of how to make state updates available to the rest of the application.
Is it even possible to model GTK/Haskell application in this way? Or, have I gone down the road to madness?

New memory technologies generate attention as successors to NAND flash
Advances in phase-change memory make them candidates to replace NAND flash in enterprise solid-state storage, but it might not happen for years.
This Article Covers
SSD technology
Although NAND flash might thrive in enterprise solid-state storage through the end of the decade, potential successors are already starting to generate attention. These include phase-change memory (PCM), magnetoresistive RAM (MRAM) and resistive RAM (RRAM).
The past couple of years have brought breakthroughs in these new memory technologies that could lead to boosts in performance and endurance far beyond the current state of the art.
IBM Research, for instance, turned heads over the summer with its announcement that thermal-based PCM might one day enable systems to retrieve data 100 times faster than NAND flash and to endure at least 10 million write cycles, an exponential improvement over the 30,000 write cycles of enterprise multi-level cell (eMLC) flash.
IBM's Zurich-based research lab claimed to achieve the reliable storage of multiple bits per cell after monitoring the resistance of the PCM material for six months to confirm the cell's stability. Haris Pozidis, manager of memory and probe technologies at IBM Research in Zurich, said multi-level cell (MLC) PCM could make its way into enterprise servers and storage by 2016. He said the technology could benefit applications such as "big data" analytics and cloud computing.
That prediction comes with a caveat. Pozidis said the enterprise timeline hinges on mobile phone and memory manufacturers taking up MLC-PCM as a NOR flash replacement in the next couple of years.
Because IBM doesn't make memory devices or solid-state drives (SSDs), the company relies on external manufacturers to license and produce its MLC-PCM. Pozidis said IBM expects that to happen, but he conceded that it's no "sure thing."
PCM and 'racetrack memory'
PCM is only one of the memory technologies IBM has been promoting. The company's Almaden, Calif.-based research center has been touting a magnetic technology called "racetrack memory," which works by sliding magnetic bits back and forth along nanowire "racetracks."
In an IBM-authored "Icon of Progress" story on its website, the company claimed that racetrack memory, with a three-dimensional microchip, has "the potential to replace nearly all forms of conventional data storage." The technology could enable mobile phones, laptop computers and business-class servers to store more information by a factor of 100 times and provide access at far higher speeds, according to IBM.
Stuart Parkin, a fellow and manager of the Magnetoelectronics Group at IBM Research in Almaden, said the technology offers additional advantages over flash, including no wear-out or write limitations, and has the potential to beat NAND on cost. He predicted the nascent technology could emerge in products in the next five to seven years, potentially placing it on a similar timeline with PCM.
IBM's Pozidis, however, said PCM is "the nearer-term memory technology" and "much more advanced" than IBM racetrack memory.
While IBM licenses more than a billion dollars a year of its intellectual property, and the company's work on new memory technologies shows promise, its PCM and racetrack efforts illustrate the uncertainty over which memory technology ultimately might usurp NAND flash.
"I don't really take what IBM says too seriously," said Greg Wong, founder and principal analyst at Forward Insights in North York, Ontario. "If their business was based on making that memory and making it work and commercializing it, that's a different story. They don't really have skin in the game."
PCMS, STT-MRAM and RRAM
Major semiconductor manufacturers that do have "skin in the game" are exploring multiple technologies, including PCM, MRAM and RRAM. But until an alternative technology meets or beats NAND on cost, it's unlikely to become a serious contender in enterprise storage, no matter how great its technological advantage.
"The next closest thing is probably still five times more expensive," said Kevin Kilbuck, director of marketing in the NAND solutions group at Micron Technology Inc., commenting on the company's studies of the alternatives.
In the meantime, Micron works in many areas, including PCM (through its 2010 acquisition of Numonyx B.V.) and Spin-Transfer Torque Magnetoresistive RAM (STT-MRAM). Kilbuck said some technologies may wind up complementary to NAND flash.
"They still might have merit on their own," Kilbuck said. "It's too early to say there's a single successor."
Troy Winslow, the director of product marketing in Intel Corp.'s Non-Volatile Memory Solutions Group, said via email that Intel thinks a stacked PCM variant known as phase change memory and switch (PCMS), for its PCM element layered with an Ovonic Threshold Switch, has greater potential than MRAM in enterprise systems.
Intel and Numonyx announced in 2009 that they had demonstrated that a 64 Mb test chip could stack multiple layers of PCM arrays within a single die and pave the way for memory devices of greater capacity, performance and scalability, as well as lower power consumption.
But, Winslow added, "NAND still has a long life in enterprise solutions. Even when a new technology emerges in the next few years, the transition will take place over several years."
In July 2011, Hynix Semiconductor Inc. and Toshiba Corp. issued a joint press release about their agreement to collaborate on STT-MRAM, a technology they said would be a good fit for smart phones, with its advantages of high speed, high capacity and low power consumption. Toshiba declined further comment, but others claim STT-MRAM eventually might find a home in enterprise systems, too.
A month later, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. announced its acquisition of Grandis Inc., noted for its work with STT-MRAM. Samsung will merge Grandis into its R&D operations, but STT-MRAM represents only one of many NAND alternatives in which the company is investing.
"Samsung, the world's largest NAND shipper, is not going to let NAND die without trying everything in the book," said Ray Lucchesi, president and founder of Silverton Consulting Inc. in Broomfield, Colo. "There's a lot of money and a lot of companies behind NAND. It's not going to go away any time soon."
Forward Insights' Wong doesn't foresee MRAM or even the stackable variant of PCM as being able to compete with NAND on price in the long run. He said manufacturers are currently looking at PCM and MRAM to supplement or replace parts of DRAM, serving essentially as a type of non-volatile RAM that can retain data even when the power is off, unlike DRAM. He said the technologies could be most useful with random write-intensive workloads that have high I/O requirements, such as databases and financial applications.
But, rather than PCM or MRAM, RRAM might hold the greatest potential to replace NAND, according to Wong. He said that all the big memory companies are working on RRAM, which operates by changing the resistance between two electrical terminals. Hewlett-Packard (HP) Co. also has a version that it calls memristor.
"RRAM theoretically is a scalable technology," Wong said, "but what you need for any technology to replace NAND is it has to be stackable. That's a fundamental challenge."
NAND Flash successors affected by tech's extended lifespan
In the meantime, predicting which promising up-and-coming technology will succeed NAND flash has become especially difficult because NAND flash is enjoying a far longer lifespan than anyone expected when the technology first emerged.
"These absolute geniuses in the R&D labs keep coming up with ways to push it just one or two more process steps, and they've been doing that for almost 10 years," said Jim Handy, founder and chief analyst at Object Analysis in Los Gatos, Calif. "Who's to say they're not going to do it for another 10 years?"
Handy recalls a 2003 Intel Developer Forum presentation, when an executive asserted that NAND flash wouldn't scale beyond a 60 nanometer (nm) process geometry. Partners Intel and Micron subsequently scaled the technology from 50 nm to 34 nm and 25 nm, and now to 20 nm. Handy expects flash will ultimately shrink to 10 nm and run out of steam at about 8 nm.
With the scaling comes a significant drop in cost. Packing more into the flash cells, with two-bit-per-cell MLC or the emerging consumer-centric triple-level cell (TLC) flash also lowers the price. But the innovation carries the unfortunate consequence of worsening endurance, performance and reliability.
So far, manufacturers have been able to make the two-bit MLC NAND flash usable in enterprise data storage with resourceful fixes such as sophisticated controller technology, error correction code (ECC) and wear leveling. However, they may be running out of tricks with the existing floating-gate technology.
One promising development to extend the life of flash is 3-D NAND, which stacks the memory cells in three dimensions. Micron Technology's Kilbuck likened it to a multistory office building vs. planar NAND flash's single-story building spread out over a flat, wide campus.
"There's still a lot of debate in the industry on when the current planar NAND cell is going to reach its scaling limits," Kilbuck said. "I've heard people say it could be the high teens. I've heard other people say NAND is going to scale down into the single digits before we have to go to something like 3-D NAND."
Kilbuck said the industry won't know until it starts manufacturing 3-D NAND at high volume what sort of challenges lie ahead and how long the 3-D technology might be able to extend NAND's lifespan.
"The end of flash scaling is what everybody's worried about and why they're placing bets on other technologies," Object Analysis' Handy said. But he thinks it's too early to tell whether PCM, MRAM, RRAM or some other technology will win. "If it takes another 10 years before NAND flash can't be shrunk any more, then that's 10 more years for some dark horse to come out of a corner somewhere and become the leading candidate."

Apollo Levine is a professional actor, performer, choreographer, dancer and music artist. In addition to his lead choreographer and starring role in the dance fitness DVD series, "Shazzy Fitness: A Time to Dance", Apollo has worked on several notable shows with various theater houses including Dreamgirls, Ragtime and Smokey Joe's Café, just to name a few. Apollo has also appeared on the BET hit show "Let's Stay Together" and is currently busy making history by becoming the first ever African-American actor taking on the lead role of the original theatrical show "The Monkey King" based in Beijing, China. Continue reading the New York Fitness Examiner interview to learn more about Apollo and his fitness career!
How did you get your start in fitness?
I've always loved to dance but until about ten years ago had never been an instructor. I moved to Atlanta and was looking for part-time work while I pursued my singing and songwriting career. I interviewed for a hip-hop dance instructor job and was hired on the spot.
As an African American fitness professional how have you impacted or hope to impact the African American community?
My goal is to help educate people everywhere about the health benefits of dance - especially for African-Americans since our community has much higher rates of obesity, hypertension and heart disease. Dance is a great way to help avoid or reduce those health issues.
What's your favorite form of fitness?
Dance is absolutely my favorite way to stay healthy, most of all because it's FUN! Dancing gives you the most wanted benefits of working out - weight loss, higher metabolism, increased endurance - but since it doesn't feel like you're exercising, people are much more likely to stick with it.

The War on Drug wages on with misguided vengeance in the state of California, where the police have stolen a chapter from the pages of "Mein Kampf" and are now using more Gestapo tactics than common sense when it comes to investigating illegal drug activity.
Earlier last week, while on a savage hunt for a suspected drug dealer, Bakersfield police mistakenly kicked down the door of apartment occupied by a mother and her four children, and then began to intimidate them with loaded weapons as if they were a bunch of drug peddling hooligans.
Reports indicate that Jessica Walker had just put her kids to bed and was preparing to take a bath, when she heard the sound of dogs barking, followed by a battering ram crashing through her front door and the screams of several armed police officers yelling, "Come down with your hands up, get down!"
Walker did not have a chance to get dressed before she found herself staring down the barrels of several weapons brandished by adrenaline-pumped officers, who she believed might shoot her in the face if she did not immediately lay down on the floor. The violent chaos ricocheting inside the apartment not only woke her children, but it scared them to half to death. "They were screaming. They were screaming, 'No, mom, no!' Walker told ABC News.
Come to find out, Bakersfield police had obtained a warrant to conduct a late night raid of Walker's home, but after searching the residence and running her through the ringers of interrogation, officers realized they had made a mistake and attacked the wrong apartment. They were actually supposed to shakedown her neighbor.
Although, the cops did apologize for breaking down the door and leaving it in an unusable condition, Walker says she still intends to file a complaint with the city because the repairman they sent did not fix her door properly. Walker may also pursue legal action against the city because she believes her 7-year-old will need therapy to deal with the traumatic incident, which has caused him to suffer from reoccurring nightmares.
Fortunately, no one was injured or killed during the incident, which is always a distinct possibility when dealing with these types of law enforcement blunders. In fact, in 2012, Tennessee police killed a man conducting a raid at the wrong house, in which the resident thought he was about to be victimized by burglars and opened fire. "We did the best surveillance we could do, and a mistake was made," said Lebanon Police Chief Billy Weeks.

In an effort to understand how strangely excited people get for pumpkin beer season, Nolan (Beer Buyer, Dowenast Beverage) and I embark on an epic quest to taste several of the offerings on the market.
Showing up hungover to taste things that may be disgusting is not reccomended, but we are alcohol professionals.
We decide to start with the least promising of the bunch:
1. Shipyard Brewing Pumpkinhead – Portland, Maine
Me: This tastes like Shipyard Export that someone vomited pumpkin pie into. Quite possibly one of the worst things I've ever tasted. The level of excitement people have for this now officially makes me angry.
Nolan: It's like a Schlitz got raped with spices. It's awful. I guess we should have a dump bucket, huh?
2. Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale – Portsmouth, New Hampshire
Me: Tastes like a decent beer with pleasant pumpkin and spice notes. I think I like it. There may be hope for this tasting…
Nolan: You can tell by the orange color that they used real pumpkin. It actually has a good amount of hops and a nice bitterness.
3. Fisherman's Brewery Pumpkin Stout – Gloucester, Massachusets
Me: Very strong espresso flavor with very subtle pumpkin notes. I don't hate it or love it.
Nolan: I like it, but the spices may have been drowned out by the 2 initial beers we tasted. It's got a really nice dryness.
4. Dogfish Head Punkin Ale – Milton, Delaware
Me: I love the way the fruitiness compliments the pumpkin and spice. I think this is my favorite so far.
Nolan: Very aromatic. It has the body to gracefully carry the spices, and a high alcohol content.
5. Shipyard Brewery Smashed Pumpkin – Portland, Maine
Me: Overpowered by cinnamon and alcohol, this beer is way out of balance. I also think it's making my stomach turn..
Nolan: Sorry Mr. Pugsley, too much corn syrup and too much alcohol make a bad base.
6. Clipper City Brewing Heavy Seas "The Great Pumpkin" – Baltimore, Maryland
Me: I like it, but I couldn't drink more than one. It's surprisingly good, being the sweetest of the bunch.
Nolan: Sweet and malty with heavy spices. Decent, but I'm still not ready to join the Mutiny.
Overall Rankings:
1. Dogfish
2. Heavy Seas
3. Smuttynose
4. Fisherman's
5. Smashed Pumpkin
6. Pumpkinhead
1. Smuttynose

The Ministry of Agriculture and Water reports that the area of land under cultivation in the Kingdom is growing at a rate of 2.75 percent annually, and in 1995 reached 1,642,910 hectares, an 11 percent increase over the 1991 fugure. The government of Saudi Arabia gives farmers land free-of-charge, and offers loan programs to encourage farming. This year, 44 permits for farming projects have been issued so far at a cost of SR 233 million (U.S. $ 62.1 million). The total amount of loans from 1964 to 1995 exceeds SR 27.5 billion (U.S. $ 7.3 billion), most for modern agricultural equipment and machinery.
In addition, the Ministry reports that there are now more than 50,000 miles of farm roads which have an effective role in accelerating agricultural development in the Kingdom. As for pastureland, almost 18,000 hectares of natural pasturage were fenced, and more than 10,500 hectares planted during 1995 in 72 different areas of the Kingdom.

Everyone's Gotta Take a Beating Sometime
Thursday, June 13, 2013
Up until now, I've been relatively pain-free and injury-free with my running. Aside from some sore muscles once in a while, I've never had to deal with common running problems like shin splints, blistering, muscle strain, etc. My husband couldn't believe how unfazed I seemed to be after the half marathon. We were surrounded by men bleeding through their shirts due to chafing, people sprawled on the Coney Island boardwalk while people stretched and massaged their locked up legs to get them working again, and lots of flush-faced finishers hobbling around every which way you looked. Yet there I was, bright-eyed and bushy tailed. My muscles were a bit stiff and stairs were pretty painful, but otherwise I felt great. That knee pain I experienced during mile ten seemed to have disappeared, too.
Flash forward to last weekend, and my 10k from hell.
This was my first 10k, and I was hoping to finish it in around 60 minutes. 58 minutes would have been ideal. I was off to a pretty good start, though the course was a bit tough - more hills than I was used to. In fact, I kept great pace until I hit mile five, and then my knee started to hurt. Nay, not "hurt." "Hurt" is what happened during the half marathon, but I was able to run through it after a bit of walking. My knee started to kill. I started walking and, much to my dismay, discovered that walking brought absolutely no relief. I had become one of those hobblers I'd seen after the half, but even worse, I was a hobbler during an actual race with a mile and change left to go. I thought "ok, maybe if I walk for two minutes, it'll get better, and maybe I can run through it." Two minutes in and I tried to slowly trot, but nope. It still killed.
Walking during a race is no fun, but walking the last mile of a race when people usually get that adrenaline rush and pick up speed, passing by while the crowd is cheering is even worse. Let me tell you, it feels pretty crummy to hear the crowd trying to encourage you by yelling "you're almost there! no time for walking! get going!" I was close to tears because I wanted to tell them "I'd like to run through it, but I can barely even walk right now." With probably .3 or .4 miles left, I forced myself to break into a bit of a run, and eventually I finished. It felt awful and I felt awful because I really didn't want to do slower than a 10 minute mile pace. I finished in 1:02:40, a 10:06 pace.
My time wasn't nearly as bad as my mind was building it up to be (I honestly thought I had crossed into 12 minute mile territory), but still, I was disappointed. Unfortunately, this week at work is the most stressful week I've ever had, and I'd been anticipating it for over a year and a half (long story short, my company's been preparing for a special evaluation that was scheduled to take place this week). I was looking forward to finishing the race and feeling a bit of stress release before the work week from hell begain. I was hoping to think "Yay! I did it! I'm ready for this week of work!" but I felt just the opposite. My feelings were more like "I hate everything and nothing is going to go right, this is a sign that we're all doomed." My knee felt terrible for the rest of the day. As a result, I did plenty of limping and plenty of RICE.
The next day, my knee wasn't so bad, and two days later the pain was pretty much gone. I've been too busy at work to even have time for light exercise, but I think that's for the best. Once the weekend comes I will be able to do some cross training and a light (very brief) jog. Next up, now that my stint of races are done (until my next half in October), I plan on easing myself in to trying barefoot/minimal shoe running. I'm aware that my pain probably comes from bad form, and I really need to shorten my strides. But I will do this eeeeever so slowly.
Slow and steady wins the race, I suppose.

I, too, have had a relatively pain-free running experience. Great job on finishing the 10K from 'hell'. Give yourself some time to heal and you'll be back to great running in no time.

|Hyperdeterminants of polynomials
|Algebra and Number Theory Seminar
|Luke Oeding, U C Berkeley
|Hyperdeterminants were brought into a modern light by Gelfand, Kapranov, and Zelevinsky in the 1990's. Inspired by their work, I will answer the question of what happens when you apply a hyperdeterminant to a polynomial (interpreted as a symmetric tensor). The hyperdeterminant of a polynomial factors into several irreducible factors with multiplicities. I identify these factors along with their degrees and their multiplicities, which both have a nice combinatorial interpretation. The analogous decomposition for the mu-discriminant of polynomial is also found. The methods I use to solve this algebraic problem come from geometry of dual varieties, Segre-Veronese varieties, and Chow varieties; as well as representation theory of products of general linear groups.

David "Honeyboy" Edwards was a Delta blues guitarist and singer
from the American South. He was also the last of the original Delta
bluesmen and now a documentary that looks at the history of
the blues through his eyes will soon be released on DVD. Watch the
trailer below.
'Honeyboy and the History of the Blues' looks at the career of
the bluesman, who passed away in Chicago on August 29, 2011 at the
age of 96.
The film features interviews with Keith Richards, Joe Perry,
Robert Cray, B.B. King and Lucinda Williams talking about the
importance of the blues, both on their own work and the history of
American popular music. Edwards is also seen performing, in clubs,
in a rural setting, and along the Chicago lakefront.
Called "The Last of the Great Mississippi Delta Bluesmen,"
Edwards friends included greats, such as Robert Johnson and Charlie
Patton. He appeared in the 1991 film, 'The Search for Robert
Johnson,' and over the years frequently told the story of how he
was present the night in 1938 when Johnson was fatally poisoned by
a jealous husband.
'Honeyboy' described his life:
On Saturday, somebody like me or Robert Johnson would go into
one of these little towns, play for nickels and dimes. And
sometimes, you know, you could be playin' and have such a big crowd
that it would block the whole street. Then the police would come
around, and then I'd go to another town and where I could play at.
But most of the time, they would let you play. Then sometimes the
man who owned a country store would give us something like a couple
of dollars to play on a Saturday afternoon. We could hitchhike,
transfer from truck to truck, or if we couldn't catch one of them,
we'd go to the train yard, 'cause the railroad was all through that
part of the country then...we might hop a freight, go to St. Louis
or Chicago. Or we might hear about where a job was paying off - a
highway crew, a railroad job, a levee camp there along the river,
or some place in the country where a lot of people were workin' on
a farm. You could go there and play and everybody would hand you
some money. I didn't have a special place then. Anywhere was home.
Where I do good, I stay. When it gets bad and dull, I'm gone.
Edwards moved to Chicago in the 1950s and continued to perform
and record up until only a few months before his passing. Edwards
won a Grammy Award in 2008 for Best Traditional Blues Album, and in
2010 was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Grammy. His autobiography,
'The World Don't Owe Me Nothing,' was published in
1997. Edwards continued the rambling life he describes in his
autobiography as he still toured the world well into his 90s.

Fox television has given the green light to production of another season of the sitcom "Arrested Development."
The network was quiet about renewing the show since its finale a few weeks ago since ratings were down slightly to 5.8 million viewers this season, compared with 6.1 million viewers last season.
When it will air won't be known until later this week when Fox announces its lineup, the New York Daily News said Tuesday.
Fox also ordered a second season of "Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy," a reality series where mothers switch families for a week.

Republican trickster Roger Stone & the Manhattan Madam
In what would have been an otherwise germane meeting of liberty enthusiasts at the Manhattan Libertarian Party Convention on Saturday, a curious entourage invaded the subterranean confines of the Ukrainian Village Restaurant onSecond Avenue
. Kristin Davis, the madam who ran the call girl service that Eliot Spitzer was so fond of, was escorted to the event by the notorious Republican political trickster, Roger Stone. Ms. Davis is seeking the gubernatorial nomination from the Libertarians.
It must have been tough for Ms. Davis to suffer the indignity of serving four months at
My guess is that Stone calculates that even the consideration of Ms. Davis as a 'celebrity candidate' will diminish whatever threat the New York Libertarian Party might be this year to the Republicans. While the nomination is improbable, the previous presumed nominee in 2006, William Weld, took a lot of heat from Republican leaders about the Libertarian Party's stance on prostitution and the legalization thereof. While most libertarian candidates are otherwise well adjusted and often committed family folks, the perception that they favor the exploitation of women by advocating the freedom to do with your body as you please, is a pernicious conundrum indeed.
Bring in some trash and let the conservative housekeepers keep the party line busy with indignant chatter.
So Stone trots in the one time fancy of A-Rod and has her tout her credentials as a high school valedictorian, hedge fund manager, successful entrepreneur and future recipient of an unnamed Master's degree. All great stuff for the political rubes who brought you the nominations of Howard Stern and William Weld. Both of whom left the doe eyed libertarians at the electoral alter. Only to be replaced be relative unknown party stalwarts who carried the water to the finish line without the prize of 50,000 votes which presumes to bring legitimacy to the endeavor by so many believers.
Of course it is possible that the Republicans fully know that another candidate is seeking the LPNY nomination will also seek to primary their anointed candidate in a GOP primary. The hope being that the foot soldiers of liberty and freedom in the Tea Party and Ron Paul movements can make a dent in an otherwise closed and undemocratic process.

Hey fellow spoofsters!
I have been searching high and low for the best deal on a roundtrip ticket to London. It doesn't matter what airport I arrive in (Gatwick or Heathrow), and I am leaving from Detroit Metro Airport. I would leave December 29 and arrive January 9. The departure date can be sooner if it is cheaper, but no later than the 29th. My fiance and I are getting married on the 31st in Scotland!! (She lives in London) Anyone up for the challenge??
Thanks in advance. I may bring a special treat back from London for the person who finds me the best deal!! my best so far is $558 from travelocity. I know there is something better out there.
Thanks again!!

TRAIL editor Matt Swaine sets out to discover just how much further a Mountain Guide (in this case Alan Hinkes, first Briton to summit all the world's 8000m peaks) can stretch an ordinary walker's skills, on the daunting Aonach Eagach ridge in Glen Coe. This trip is described in full in the Feb 08 issue of Trail, but you can't beat the video for atmosphere.
