Future HP TouchPad names revealed?
HP doesn't seem to be wasting time trying to get its new webOS onto the mobile market. HP already has the HP Veer available on AT&T and the TouchPad is slated for a July 1st release, but we have just found some new info on a possible future TouchPad.
HP has just applied for trademark protection on six names that all include the word TouchPad. Here are the six names: TouchPadFlex, TouchPadPro, TouchPadTwin, TouchPadGeo, TouchPad7, and the TouchPadGo. These names are all pretty enticing and are all possibilities.
It wouldn't surprise me if HP followed up with a 7-inch TouchPad with a lower price tag, or a model with a keyboard built in. Although just because HP filed these trademark applications doesn't mean they will actually make a tablet with any of these names, but we will keep you updated on any future tablet plans by HP.

Established in December 2011, the EU Fuel Poverty Network has become one of the leading online portals for information about fuel poverty in the EU and beyond.
The ultimate aims of the Network are to raise awareness and to further the dialogue on fuel poverty across the EU. This is achieved through a free membership scheme, by publishing guest blog articles on the latest research and ideas, and raising the profile of existing academic literature and policy documents in a comprehensive resource archive.
What is fuel poverty?
Fuel poverty, or energy poverty as it is also known, occurs when a household is unable to afford the most basic levels of energy for adequate heating, cooling, cooking, lighting and use of appliances in the home.
The consequences of fuel poverty include a restricted use of heating, cold and damp homes, debts on utility bills and a reduction of household expenditure on other essential items. In addition, fuel poverty is associated with a worsening of a wide range of physical and mental health illnesses, such as depression, asthma and heart disease.
Fuel poverty has traditionally been thought of as a British and Irish phenomenon; however, as the maps below show, aspects of fuel poverty are manifest across the European Union.

That it may go well with you
Rev. Jim Rizer
write the author
January 09, 2014
When I was just entering college my grandmother pulled me aside and tried to impart a bit of wisdom on her grandson saying, "Nothing good happens after midnight."
At the time I remembered focusing on being polite, smiling and responding, "Yes ma'am," while I was already discounting her grand-maternal insight. Although I knew Grandma loved me and desired the best for me, all I heard was limitation and "don't."
I wonder if this isn't the way we approach our heavenly father's wisdom in scripture.
From the 10 commandments, slangly referred to as the 10 "don'ts," to teaching of Jesus to forgive even our enemies, we politely smile acknowledging content received, while we are internally dismissing it.
As the "don't" and limitation echo in our mind we tend to picture God as some steely-eyed police officer or as some cosmic killjoy who is seemingly intent on hampering our fun.
This is sort of how I felt when my grandmother shared her insight on life.
I thought she was out of touch. After all she went to sleep by 9 p.m. at that stage in her life. It seemed like good instructions for senior citizens, not for those recently seniors in high school.
Yet, as I have grown older, I have come to understand she was trying to pass on a life lesson she had acquired. I also discovered she was correct. In my youthful naiveté I completely missed not only this wisdom, but my grandmother's heart.
Now I see Grandma was seeking to give me insight so I might avoid trouble and things might go well with me.
My grandmother's heart and intent sheds light on God's instruction.
"Do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord, so that it may go well with you." (Deuteronomy 6:18)
This phrase reveals the heart and intent of God's wise counsel and commands. They are intended to bless our lives helping us steer around avoidable trouble and direct us in the best life possible so that it may go well with us.
As we enter into the new year, may we not miss God's heart or God's wisdom given in the Bible. After all, I don't think any of our resolutions include "that it may go poorly for us."
Wishing you all of God's best in this new year.
Rizer is the minister at Living Hope Evangelical Church.

A mom was told that her daughter died in a mistake by a medical examiner in Washington State. On March 20, NBC News reported that Lori Baker was mistakenly told that her missing daughter was found dead -- she even went ahead and hand-wrote an obituary about her 24-year-old daughter. Come to find out, the information was incorrect.
Baker was told that her daughter, Samantha Kennedy, had been hit by a car and died. The news came from the Pierce County Medical Examiner after a tattoo and a photo helped identify whom they thought was Samantha. It turns out, they were wrong.
The mom who's daughter died "by mistake" is furious. Despite an apology from the Medical Examiner's office, Baker says that mistake shouldn't have happened -- and she's right. She couldn't imagine that someone would "confirm" the death of her daughter and then turn around and say "oops. It wasn't her." Now she's left with more questions and the urgency to find her daughter has increased.
"I know my child is alive. I'm so relieved," said Baker. She feels as any mother would feel after being told your child died and then being told that wasn't the case. It's not easy and the emotional roller coaster makes it that much worse.
This mom knows it wasn't her daughter who died and the mistake gives her hope but it doesn't make the search any easier. More in the video above.

text: Sir Isaac Newton The source file is in the Intranet. Any change made to this page will be overwritten by the update from Intranet. Page Content "No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess " -Sir Isaac Newton Sir Isaac Newon was : was a mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist , a theogian and one of the most influential man in history. Sir Isaac Newton described how the gravity works and the three laws of motions.He made one of the first reflecting telescopes and he studied the speed of sound .He was known as the worlds famous sciencist because he took his ideas and the ideas of the earlier sciencsit and combined them into one idea. Sir Isaac Newton was an English physicist, mathematician, philosopher, scientist, theologian, astronomer, and one of the most influential men in human history. His work on optics and gravitation make him one of the greatest scientists the world has known. He is famous for developing the Three Laws Of Motion. Isaac Newton discovered gravity when an apple supposedly fell from a tree and hit him in the head. Isaac Newton was a English Physicist, Scientist and a mathematician. His accomplishments in, optics and physics laid the foundations for modern science and revolutionized the world. Newton made a huge impact in theoretical astronomy. He defined the laws of motion and universal gravitation which he used to predict precisely the motions of stars, and the planets around the sun. Using his discoveries in optics Newton constructed the first reflecting telescope. As mathematician, Newton invented integral calculus, and jointly with Leibnitz, differential calculus. He also calculated a formula for finding the velocity of sound in a gas which was later corrected by Laplace. Newton found science a hodgepodge of isolated facts and laws, capable of describing some phenomena, but predicting only a few. He left it with a unified system of laws that can be applied to an enormous range of physical phenomena, and that can be used to make exact predications. Newton published his works in two books, namely "Optics" and "Principia." Newton died in London on March 20, 1727 and was buried in Westminster Abbey, the first scientist to be accorded this honor. A review of an encyclopedia of science will reveal at least two to three times more references to Newton than any other individual scientist. He Invented the cradle, and the apple falling on his head. An 18th century poem written by Alexander Pope about Sir Isaac Newton states it best: "Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night: God said, Let Newton be! and all was light." Quotes "If I have been able to see farther than others, it was because I stood on the shoulders of giants." "Men build too many walls and not enough bridges." "If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants." "To explain all nature is too difficult a task for any one man or even for any one age. 'Tis much better to do a little with certainty, and leave the rest for others that come after you, than to explain all things." "The latest authors, like the most ancient, strove to subordinate the phenomena of nature to the laws of mathematics. If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been owing more to patient observation than to any other reason." "If I have done the public any service, it is due to patient thought." ". . . from the same principles, I now demonstrate the frame of the System of the World." "On how he made discoveries by always thinking unto them. . . . I keep the subject constantly before me and wait till the first dawnings open little by little into the full light." "Hypotheses non fingo. I feign no hypotheses." ". . . Newton was an unquestioning believer in an all-wise creator of the universe, and in his own inability - like the boy on the seashore - to fathom the entire ocean in all its depths. He therefore believed that there were not only many things in heaven beyond his philosophy, but plenty on earth as well, and he made it his business to understand for himself what the majority of intelligent men of his time accepted without dispute (to them it was as natural as common sense) - the traditional account of the creation." "The description of right lines and circles, upon which geometry is founded, belongs to mechanics. Geometry does not teach us to draw these lines, but requires them to be drawn." "His epitaph: Who, by vigor of mind almost divine, the motions and figures of the planets, the paths of comets, and the tides of the seas first demonstrated."

2013... I am so ready for you!
Thursday, January 03, 2013
Wow! After a year like 2012, I was definitely ready to ring in the new year! To quick give a rundown on 2012... It was challenging: I made the decision to leave my family's farm to pursue a different career (ended up with a job I love and a better, more balanced relationship with my parents) and I ended up divorced after only being married a year. I spent the fall learning that I have AMAZING friends, a good family, and more resilience than I ever gave myself credit for. I, however, found my emotions to be very "strained"... When at the end of November I lost my horse (she died at only 12 years of age), I realized that I barely had the emotional elasticity to handle it. At that point, I finally was able to process the other pain I had been gradually dealing with. Through great challenge, I believe I was able to (partially out of a place of absolute necessity but also I was very ready to finally be me) find a place of equilibrium by the end of the year. I am going to live my life by my rules. I also realized how important it is to really love myself. I'm ready for the future, today, and to enjoy life! 2013 is going to be amazing!
I started P90X towards the end of the year.... Started on November 19TH!!!! It's going well:). I am excited to see my results on February 17th. I have been gradually learning balance with eating, drinking, and living. I have a body fat scale... So far I have gone down 6% in body fat (from 41 to 35 %)so that has been beneficial to see. I also have enjoyed watching my clothes fit better and better, week by week.
1) Finish P90X (February 17)
2) Do P90X, P90X+, OR Insanity (Starting February 18...)
3) Do 50 Burpees at least 3 times per week.
4) Run 1 mile (minimally) at least 4 days per week--beating old time each time--until February 17 then start training for half marathon.
5) Run Half Marathon on May 5, 2013
6) Reach goal "weight"... Weight: 128-145 pounds (will evaluate as I get closer) but more importantly Body Fat %: 18-25. My goal weight will depend on what I weigh when I get to my goal body fat content. (BIG GOAL: by MAY 13th... If possible).
7) Let Fitness and Nutrition become a Lifestyle... I LOVE it anyways so enjoy the process!
8) Learn to Ice Skate
9) Go Snowboarding &/or Downhill Skiing
10) Sky Dive
11) Bungee Jump
12) Get Rib Tattoo once I reach fitness goal.
13) Go to: Packer game, Badger game, Brewer game, Rock concert
I'm ready for 2013! It is going to be an adventure!

|MTEN dominates, remains unbeaten
LOGAN, Utah - The Idaho men's tennis team continued is unblemished spring season with dominating victories over Utah State and Weber State Saturday, improving to 7-0 on the season.
The Vandals were nearly perfect Saturday, winning both matches 7-0 without losing a set in singles and dropping just one doubles match. In the Western Athletic Conference opener against Utah State, Idaho swept through doubles with an 8-2 win from Abid Akbar and Marius Cirstea at No. 1, and 8-4 win from Cristobal Ramos Salazar and Jose Bendeck at No. 2, and an 8-2 win from Dmitry Perevoshchikov and Ivan Krijanto at No. 3. The Vandals made it a clean sweep with straight-set wins at all six singles spots to move to 1-0 in the WAC.
Cirstea and Akbar won 8-2 at No. 1 doubles again against Weber State, while Idaho coach Jeff Beaman shuffled the bottom two doubles pairings. Perevoshchikov moved to No. 2 to play with Bendeck in an 8-6 loss, while Ramos Salazar played with Krijanto at No. 3 and won 8-6. Idaho again swept through singles with straight set victories at all six spots to complete the sweep.
"This was another good weekend for the guys," Beaman said. "There are some areas we need to improve, both mentally and physically, that we will work on going into next weekend's matches, and we really need to step up our doubles in upcoming matches."
The pair of 7-0 sweeps were Idaho's third and fourth in seven matches this season.
The Vandals travel to Portland, Ore., next weekend to face Portland University and Portland State.
Idaho 7, Utah State 0

NorthsidersSaturday, June 20th, 2009
I was browsing in a Chicago Public Library branch when this new book jumped off the shelf at me. It is titled "Northsiders – Essays on the History and Culture of the Chicago Cubs". The editors are Gerald C Wood and Andrew Hazucha.
It is a collection of 19 essays. Topics include, but are not limited to, superstation WGN, Cub players as icons, Wrigley field, media coverage and a historical perspective.
I especially enjoyed the essays on the history of Lake View and Wrigleyville; on Ernie Banks; on scorecards and scorekeeping in the bleachers; and the views and opinions of Mike Royko.
The essays turn out to be extremely prescient. Here are some excerpts from the book:
- "I'd always thought of Wrigley Field's bleachers as the place where real baseball fans go when they close their eyes and click their heels three times." Lonnie Wheeler
- "Being a Cubs fan is like getting married for the second time – hope wins out over experience." One Devout Cubs Fan
- "In a very real sense, Wrigley field is a 'hand-me-down ballpark', intimate and passed on from one generation to another."
- "Without ivy and sunshine and apartment buildings on every side, people had just thought of Comiskey as an old ballpark rather than a sacred institution." Wheeler
- "(P.K. Wrigley) was not a baseball person. His approach to the Cubs was like being the main sponsor of a Chicago Symphony Orchestra. It was a Chicago resource to be maintained, but you don't waste a lot of money on it. It's entertainment, you keep it in business. That was his approach." Chuck Shriver
- "It seemed like when Wrigley owned the Cubs, the feeling was it would be super if you won the pennant, but if not, no big deal." Glen Hobbie
- Tales of the Black Freighter dvd
- "Ed Prell of the Chicago Tribune wryly remarked that Vedie Himsl, the man Wrigley designated to start the 1961 season as head coach, would be long remembered as the first baseball coach who was appointed and given two-weeks' notice at the same time." Discussion of PK Wrigley's rotating coaches concept
- "Character is more important, Banks gently reminds us, if you are a Cubs fan. Winning, whether on the field or in the accountant's office, is secondary." Ernie Banks
- "In Royko's world there are two constants: the Cubs will flounder and their fans will suffer." Mike Royko
- "In 1945, with World War II still raging, the Cubs won a pennant with a team made up of some 4-Fs. When the war ended, P.K. Wrigley, the Cub owner, apparently reasoned that the way to win a championship was with 4-Fs. So while other teams began putting healthy athletes on the field, Wrigley continued hiring players who walked funny and had strange physical infirmities." Mike Royko
- "Yes, it is a new era. The only thing that remains the same is that the team stunk then and the team stinks now. And the biggest difference isn't the lights. It's that in those bygone days, nobody was stupid enough to pay a grand to watch a bunch of losers." Mike Royko
- "Many Cubs fans today are from the suburbs, brought in by busses. It's like going to an air show or 'Cats' – something tourists do. After the game, you ask them: Who did the Cubs play? What was the score? They shake their heads. It's not about baseball, it's about having been to a place to be."
- "The Yankees aren't real. Nobody goes around triumphing over everything (…) most people don't triumph over anything. The Cubs help teach us that life is rough." Mike Royko

"Northsiders" is a must read for anyone who knows about or who wants to know about the Chicago Cubs. I recommend it highly.

IRC in Libya to help those who've fled fighting
October 26, 2011 by Ned Colt
|IRC hygiene kits await distribution in Libya Photo: Daire O'Reilly/IRC
I'm seated on a garage floor in a village about 75 miles from Libya's capital of Tripoli. "We are suffering," says my host, but pushes me to accept a chunk of bread liberally smeared with canned tuna. Rajab is an English teacher from Tuarga, a poor city almost two hundred miles away. He and as many as 30,000 others fled their homes there a month ago, when Libyan rebels attacked the community, seeing it as a base for attacks on the neighboring city of Misratah and a center of support for the former regime. In recent weeks homes in Tuarga have been burned while others have been seized. The message is simple: former residents are not welcome to return. In the eyes of their former neighbors, their perceived role as supporters of the former regime will not be forgiven.
While Libya's National Transitional Council (NTC) has urged reconciliation amongst all Libyans as the country emerges from four decades of dictatorship, the wounds of the past six months of fighting are still fresh. As IRC regional director Mike Young told me at the end of a recent visit to Libya, there may be many reasons for optimism in post-Gaddafi Libya, but there is also reason for concern. "There is tremendous potential here to forge a new, better country; the transitional authorities have so far done a good job of managing expectations and moving in the right directions. However, it is very fragile: gains could be lost through factional fighting or a breakdown in the rule of law."
Today, many families like Rajab's have moved into areas far from home, but where they feel safe, and are provided support and protection. Many displaced families are living in temporary housing provided by friends or in former dormitories for foreign laborers. I visited one home packed with close to 40 people, living in three rooms. While they had electricity supplied via a web of wires, there was no plumbing or working toilet; they cooked over wood. A cistern out back supplied their water.
While it may seem incongruous that there are such dire needs in Africa's richest country, the seven month conflict has upset norms here. Many former residents of Tuarga say they didn't have time to gather their documents — so don't have the identification required to receive aid, or to enroll their children in school. Others told me they were unable to withdraw savings from banks, because militias outside demanded identification, and were singling them out.
Those from Tuarga are among tens of thousands of displaced Libyans in need of emergency assistance as the country transitions into post-Gaddafi recovery. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says there could be as many as 150,000 internally displaced people (IDPs) throughout the country. This month the IRC distributed emergency hygiene kits to 850 families who have been displaced from their homes in former conflict areas such as Tuarga, Sirte and Bani Walid. The kits consist of a plastic bucket packed with a towel, toothbrushes and paste, diapers, soap, and other items targeting families with young children. IRC field director Daire O'Reilly points out, "We're focusing on households with women and small children, because that's both the population that are currently in the most need but also where the IRC has been able to specifically address gaps through working with local and international partners."
Those gaps leave families like Rajab's at risk. At least twice before we left Rajab's temporary home, he reminded us not to forget him. Like so many in Libya, his family has immediate needs, but requires a long-term solution.

Gender has now become a pervasive topic in the humanities and social sciences. Yet despite its familiarity within universities and colleges, some have argued that the radical debates which first characterized gender studies have become ghettoized or marginalized --so that gender no longer makes the impact on creative thinking and ideas that it once did. Brooke Holmes here rescues ancient ideas about sex and gender in order precisely to reinvigorate contemporary debate. She argues that much writing on gender in the classical age fails to place those ancient ideas within their proper historical contexts. As a result, the full transformational force of that thinking is often overlooked. In this short, lively book, Holmes offers a sophisticated and historically rounded reading of gender in antiquity in order to map out the future of contemporary gender studies. By re-examining ancient notions of sexual difference, bodies, culture, and identity, Holmes shows that Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics, Epicureans and others force us to reassess what is at stake in present-day discussions about gender. The ancient world thus offers a vital resource for modern gender theory.

The Requirements have been established by Jim in the following terms :-
Hi Barry,
Today is my lucky day that I found your web site.
Your examples are great.
I am trying to design a Access 2003 database for my office.
The database would list all employees, job series code, pay grade, division,
date of birth, date of assignment, date of hire.
It wold also track all promotions, their pay increases, their awards, their
personal contact information and the the personal contact information for their emergency contact.
Do you have an example available for a database similar to the above ?
I'm having problems knowing what tables to make and what the relationships need to be.
Keep up the great work and thanks again for coming to the assistance of beginners like me.
Barry says :-
The major Thing in the Data Model is the Employees Entity.
There is a one-to-many Relationship between Employees and Events.
This means that an Employee can be involved in many Events during their period of employment.
These Events can include Assignment to Jobs, receiving Awards, taking Holidays and having Performance Reviews.
Performance Reviews will include Promotions and Pay Increases.
This approach makes this a very simple and powerful design because additional Events can be added very simply
and the basic design remains unchanged.

This year the ongoing, illuminating study of business and industry in relation to Chicago will continue. This study paused after a glimpse of the Long Depression (1873-1879) and the lives of two Chicagoans, Cyrus McCormick and Potter Palmer, who survived the depression. In some details, the national economic recession of 2008 mirrors downturn of 1882, making it important to study.
The National Banking Act of 1863 ushered in the National Banking Era, ending the wild Era of Free Banking in which unregulated state banks controlled the economy. This new era couldn't check the boom and bust cycles any better than the previous era. The Panic of 1873 proved that point, but order in the banking industry did help the nation.
This act created a system of national banks under the supervision of the Comptroller of Currency. It initiated the establishment of a national currency and required national banks to accept this currency at standard value. If a national bank should default, a national currency could help eliminate the danger of loss. The comptroller controlled the printing of the national currency. The national banks were required to back notes used to finance the Civil War with Treasury securities. When these securities changed in value, banks recalled loans or borrowed from other banks or banking clearinghouses. However, there was still no single national bank, and no deposit insurance for banking clients.
An economic downturn began slowly around 1882. During a three year boom, the railroad industry increased construction more than 4 times from 2,665 miles of tracks to 11,569 miles of tracks laid. The over-extended industry experienced a decline. This decline affected the railroad, iron, steel and the investment industries. Chicago and the nation suffered.

Could you survive
a $1 million windfall?
By Julie
G. Bandy Bankrate.com
you are the Survivor and just won the million bucks surviving
the wicked, wild, bug-infested location of whatever spot is home
on the latest "Survivor" episode.
Would you know how to stretch the dough? Could
you survive stardom?
And what would you do with all that money?
Here's what the experts recommend you should do once
you know the cash is yours:
Experts are emphatic about the order in which you
do these: first the tax expert, then the financial adviser.
A tax expert "can tell you how much you're keeping,"
says Philip M. Susswein, a trust and estate lawyer in New York City.
"That's why I say talk to this person first instead of an investment
analyst because the investment analyst needs to know how much you're
No immunity here
Even when they get good advice, people who get windfalls
make goofs.
"The No. 1 mistake is that people think short-term,"
says Marcia McMillan, a certified financial planner with American
Financial Advisers in Brookfield, Wis. "Ask yourself when will
I really need the money: now, in retirement or sometime in between
-- for example, when the kids go to college."
Another common mistake is carelessness.
"Because it's 'found money,' for some reason
they care less about paying a penalty for doing it the wrong way,"
McMillan says, explaining that a recipient of a windfall might lose
30 percent of an investment and not really mind.
Imprudence is more a mistake of youth, says John Fahy,
an accountant and lawyer in New Jersey. Adults over 40 tend to invest
windfalls carefully, but "younger people often want to live
large and they buy boats and big houses. When the bills come in,
it becomes difficult to pay the piper."
Perhaps the hardest thing to do is to practice moderation
when immoderate amounts of money come into your life. Of course
you shouldn't blow all the money quickly, but neither should you
feel guilty for having a little fun. So, go ahead, blow some of
Beware the sudden-wealth syndrome
Most of us can't imagine anything but bliss when we come
into a cool million. But, believe it or not, money does not buy
"I call it the myth of the American dream --
the assumption that money can, should and does buy happiness,"
says Jessie O'Neill, a psychotherapist in Milwaukee who specializes
in fiscal affairs and founder of The
Affluenza Project.
Just the opposite can happen. Coming into a lot of
money can lead to feelings of guilt, fear and isolation. It's called
"sudden wealth syndrome."
"People develop a kind of survivor's guilt,"
O'Neill says. "They start to wonder if they deserve what they
got. There's this feeling of almost being a fraud. 'Why me? I don't
deserve it.' It's basically a discomfort, a guilt with the money."
You're grappling with your own feelings about the
money and what you're going to do with it, you also have to deal
with other people's attitudes toward money and their attitudes toward
you now that you have it.
Will your friends be insulted if you offer to pay
for dinner? Or will they think you're a cheapskate if you don't?
It can be awkward for everyone involved. Some new-money people end
up pulling away from family and friends to avoid these kinds of
So, what can you do to find happiness should you be
struck down with this sudden wealth syndrome?
"Find out what makes your heart sing. What motivates
you? What are you called to do?" O'Neill says. "That's
not an overnight thing."
"When a person comes into money, it amplifies
their basic personality, their basic self," says Myra Salzer,
president of The
Wealth Conservancy, who gives financial advice to people with
inherited wealth.
"If they tend to be curious, they can travel
the world. If they're intellectual, they can go to school for the
rest of their lives. If they're hypochondriacs they can be fabulous
"If they know how to enjoy life, they can certainly
do that with intensity."

I fail to understand Cinlar's transformation of an inhomogeneous Markov chain to a homogeneous one. It appears to me that $\hat{P}$ is not fully specified. Generally speaking, given a $\sigma$-algebra $\mathcal A$, a measure can be specified either explicitly over the entire $\sigma$-algebra, or implicitly by specifying it over a generating ring and appealing to Caratheodory's extension theorem. However, Cinlar specifies $\hat{P}$ over a proper subset of $\hat{\mathcal{E}}$ that is not a ring.

We give the condition that $\widehat P$ is a Markow kernel, and we have that $$\widehat P((n,x),\{n+1\}\times E)=P_{n+1}(x,E)=1,$$ hence the measure $\widehat P((n,x),\cdot)$ is concentrated on $\{n+1\}\times E\}$? Therefore, we have $\widehat P((n,x),I\times A)=0$ for any $A\subset E$ and $I\subset \Bbb N$ which doesn't contain the integer $n+1$.

Having sampled his fine cuisine recently it's not hard to believe that Executive Chef Tylun Pang of The Fairmont Kea Lani and Kō Restaurant won the coveted Lifetime Achievement Award at Sunday's 2014 'Aipono Dining Awards. And he can also tip his toque to his Kō restaurant which was also earned the Gold award for Best Hawai'i Regional Cuisine and the Silver award for Best Healthy Choices.
Dining at Kō is a heavenly experience. Every dish delights the palate. It's ideal for a romantic night out for couples or for families. If you go to Maui you really must plan on dinner there, whether you're staying at the Fairmont or not. It's worth the drive no matter what hotel or part of Maui you're at.
Chef Tylun's 17-year tenure at luxury resort provided an extraordinary impact on Maui's culinary scene and within the community. His commitment to Maui purveyors earned him Maui County Farm Bureau's 2012 Friend of Agriculture 'Aipono Award and has resulted in nearly 90% of the luxury resort's produce being locally sourced. A member of Maui Culinary Academy's advisory board, Chef Pang donates 100% of the royalties of his award winning cookbook, What Maui Likes to Eat, to the academy in support of culinary education. The Fairmont Kea Lani also is host to the academy's largest fundraiser, Noble Chef, each fall. Pang is known to spend his personal time at community fundraisers and is closely involved with Baldwin High School's athletic programs, Project Graduation, the Kauai Rotary Club's Taste of Hawaii benefit each year.
"To say the Lifetime Achievement Award is well-deserved is a tremendous understatement," said Christof Luedi, Regional Vice President of Fairmont Hawai'i. "Tylun's tireless commitment to Maui's community is both commendable and inspiring. Fairmont is honored to have a leader of his caliber."
Kea Lani's restaurant is no stranger to awards. It has earned fourGold and three Silver 'Aipono Awards including the Restaurant of the Year award in 2013. Kō, which translates to "sugarcane" in Hawaiian, showcases the diverse culinary history of the sugarcane plantation era, serving innovative Hawaiian, Chinese, Filipino, Portuguese, Korean, and Japanese dishes, many of which are family recipes that have been passed down for generations. Kō's Lifestyle Cuisine Plus menu includes appetizers, entrées and desserts for vegan, raw, gluten-free and heart-healthy diners, contributing to its silver award for Best Healthy Choices on Maui.
'Aipono combines the Hawaiian words 'ai (food) and pono (excellence) to encompass the theme of exceptional dining. Sponsored by Maui Nō Ka 'Oi magazine, the 'Aipono Awards annually recognize the best of Maui's food, wine and hospitality industries. Winners are selected by Maui Nō Ka 'Oi magazine readers. To learn more about Kō restaurant and Chef Tylun Pang, visit korestaurant.com or watch the short Kō video.

Deal Fever Is No Rare Disease
Sanofi-Aventis should buy Genzyme. And so should GlaxoSmithKline. And Johnson & Johnson. And AstraZeneca.
Many have argued that the French pharmaceuticals giant ought to snap up the Massachusetts-based biotech and rare disease specialist, a possibility first reported Friday by WSJ. The catch is that the arguments given apply to many of Sanofi's peers, as well.
Indeed, if other companies enter the fray, the winner of a bidding war will not be the company best positioned to wring value out of the acquisition. The bidders will hardly be differentiated there. Instead, the winner will be the company with the most potent combination of desperation for new revenue and financial capacity to pay for it.
Here is a (perhaps partial) list of the justifications pundits have offered for the deal:
- Sanofi faces patent expiries in the near and medium terms, and Genzyme would provide products with robust patent protection and pricing power.
- There are very few biotech assets available of significant size.
- Sanofi, with a net debt/Ebitda ratio well below 1, has the financial flexibility to pay for Genzyme.
- The sum of Genzyme's parts is worth more than the whole — perhaps nearly $80 a share.
- Genzyme is in a slump because of its manufacturing problems, so might be had for a low price.
- Genzyme CEO Henri Termeer could be a willing seller; having activist investor Carl Icahn hanging around the company won't hurt on the willing seller front, either.
- The stars of Genzyme's pipeline, Campath and Mipomersen, could have big upside.
What's conspicuous about the talk surrounding a Sanofi-Genzyme tie-up is that no one has suggested that Sanofi would make a better partner than any other big pharma player. That's because Genzyme's portfolio is so heterogeneous. It makes money out of businesses that are not quire core to big pharma.
The genetic diseases business, Genzyme's biggest, is so dominant that no other firm has a comparable business it could be combined with to squeeze out costs. The biosurgery business, third biggest by sales and perhaps second biggest in profitability, would more likely find a synergistic buyer in an equipment company than a pharma.
So the issue is not how the businesses fit, but rather who can and will pay up. Of the huge buyers, Pfizer, Merck & Co, Novartis and Roche Holding are still busy digesting their last sizable buys. That leaves Sanofi, J&J, Glaxo and AstraZeneca with capacity to get a deal done.
So who can pay the most? All four have respectable balance sheets, but J&J has the most cash to spend and is the biggest. J&J doesn't need Genzyme's revenue as badly as the others, though, because of its diversified business model (although, if anyone has synergies with Genzyme, it's J&J, which has an equipment segment).
That leaves the Europeans. AstraZeneca, the smallest, could be pushed out if the other two are serious. Of GSK and Sanofi, GSK has more sales at risk from patent expirations than Sanofi between now and 2015. But Sanofi's patent expirations will be spread over a smaller revenue base, and are more tilted toward the near term.
In the end, there is but one unique argument for Sanofi buying Genzyme: Of all the potential buyers, it is the most desperate. Genzyme's management has probably figured that out. That should make for some interesting negotiations.
However matters unfold, it is a telling commentary on the state of the pharma sector that no one can think of a business or operational reason — as opposed to a financial reason — that one combination makes more sense than another.
This is hardly an indication that capital is being allocated efficiently in the industry.

Either parents or teachers can request parent-teacher conferences. Teachers conduct conferences at the end of the first and third quarters. These conferences are designed to inform parents of progress of the student and/or potential problems. Parents are encouraged to maintain contact with the child's teacher throughout the school year.
Report cards are issued quarterly. At the end of the first quarter, we will schedule all parents for conferences. At the end of the third quarter, teachers will hold conferences with parents of students with specific concerns. These parents will be notified.

Published: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 2:24 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 2:24 p.m.
A Palm Coast man accused of punching a 12-year-old has been charged with child abuse.
Scott L. Cadek, 29, was arrested about 1 a.m. Sunday.
Deputies observed cuts above and below the boy's eyebrow and "minor swelling," according to a Flagler County Sheriff's Office report.
Cadek "appeared to be intoxicated and began to repeat himself" when deputies asked what had happened. He told deputies "nothing was physical," the report states.
Cadek was booked into the Flagler County Inmate Facility and later released on $1,000 bail.

With permission from their neighbor, they fished the table out and took it home. Karin--who blogs at Art is Beauty--knew that with a lot of TLC and a couple of chairs, it could become a trendy bistro table!

Every year at their annual Wrestlemania event, the WWE attempts to stop people from selling unauthorized merchandise and they set out to clamp down on it early this year. According to The Hollywood Reporter on April 3, the WWE filed a lawsuit against 100 John Does for bootlegging merchandise over "Wrestlemania 30" weekend.
The WWE also asked to have the lawsuit sealed from public knowledge, as they were asking to be given the power from the courts to go in and seize anything they felt was bootlegged or unauthorized materials. This is common, as music promoters do it as well before big concerts.
The judge in the case, U.S. District Judge Helen Berrigan, denied the WWE's request for "Wrestlemania 30" weekend. The WWE asked for the court's permission to control a file mile radius surrounding the Superdome in New Orleans during the weekend's events.
According to the judge's ruling, the WWE labeled all the defendants as John Does and the judge said that wouldn't fly. The judgment said that would cause the courts to deputize the WWE with the power to seize any products they wished under their protection, which was not something she would allow in her court.
The biggest problem with the filing was that the WWE did not name a person, group of people, or even describe the people they were trying to stop, and it was just open for the WWE to choose who they went after if the courts found in their favor.
The WWE claimed in their court filing that they expected to make about $19 million in merchandise sales over "Wrestlemania 30" weekend and that the bootleg sales could cannibalize their sales and profits. The WWE has filed a motion for reconsideration.

3 Year Product Review
By handyman
from Edmonton Alberta Canada
Comments about BJs Wholesale Club Gazebo Penguin Four Seasons 8' x 16' Add A Room - Sand:
Still quite satisfied with this product after 3 years of use:Notes:1. I would recommend roof support for winter if you are not able to constantly monitor snow accumulation. I mounted a permanent center beam supported by 3 temporary poles for winter.2. The bottom panels fade quickly. The company did provide replacement ones. To permanently solve the problem I took a part to the paint shop and had the color matched to a good quality paint. Now it perfectly matches the color of the rest of the parts and has held the color.3. The screens and windows have held up perfectly. But I do have a concern that if I had to replace any of them that there does not appear to be enough room to remove these panels. The description on this site suggests that the screens are easily removable. I would to have the writer show me how this is done
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

8 x 12 gazebo - very good
By Dgconnall
from Martha's Vineyard, massachusetts
Use it mainly in the evening. It faces hot summer sun. Roof could shut out more sun to make a cooler space. Installed with my wife in 6 hours. Made a few mistakes with pieces wrong way round. Easily corrected. Instructions could be better. TOP marking of a part would be handy. But very pleased in general. Even neighbors said nice things, because it looks of good quality. Some concern about durable it will be. We will see next year. So far very happy with the gazebo.

Nice Product
By Papa of 4
from Warrenton, Virginia
I inventoried all pieces several days before construction and found some errors of listed parts. Turns out I had an out of date instructions book. I contacted the company on a Sunday and was surprised to get an answer almost immediately. After they figured out I had out of date instructions I was only missing 2 bolts that were replaced promptly. Instructions are not always as clear as they should be so take your time and look the instructions over several times before continuing. Some of the end pieces were mismarked as to which end they went to. The end product is well built and roomy. Just make sure you have help and a couple of cold ones at the end.
Very happy with end result
By Lpled
from Burke Virginia
It took 3 competent men a total of 7 hours to completely assemble. Some parts were different from the instructions but not a real big problem if you lay out all parts first and see what you have. A couple of the instructions were not very clear and it took some thinking before you proceeded but overall most of the instructions were easy to follow. Completed room completely met my expectations and I am very happy with my new room addition. Note: 8x 12 might be a little small but 8x16 is good size.

Good quality in materials.
By Helgiman
from Massachusetts country side
I did as much research on this product before making the purchase. However I could not find many reveiws on line. So I took a chance and we are very pleased with the Solarium. I installed it by myself in one long day or at least 95% of it. Some of the smaller brackets and trim pieces were left for the next day. It went together quit well with all the parts fitting as they should. One note of caution, some of the components were labled incorrectly.Just look at them carefully before installing. Another surprise was the material the windows were made out of. It is some sort of soft plastic like heavy duty saran wrap. Looks pretty durable though. I would also recommend two people for the installation as it will go a lot easier. The surface you mount it on should be as flat and level as possible.Once you are finished, take a step back and I think you will be pleased with the results. This is a well designed and well built product which should last for years. It will probably be a good idea to keep up with the snow removal in winter as there is no snow load information although it should do quite well. I wish there was an option for the roof panel material. The clear panels supplied allow the room to get very hot during the mid part of the day. Some type of reflective tinting would help.I'm going to try to install pergola shades inside to help mitigate the heat.Good luck,Ed

Sadly they didn't offer a specific breakdown by region. For what it's worth, on a separate statement SCEA head boss Jack Tretton said U.S. sales have jumped 300% from last year, putting the figure close to an amazing 690,000. We'll have to wait for NPD's monthly report to confirm how close to reality his claims are, but for now the company seems to be positioning itself quite nicely for the upcoming holiday season.
In addition to touting sales numbers at the company's Tokyo Game Show keynote, CEO Kaz Hirai went on to showcase the PS3 Motion Controller onstage, indicating that it is scheduled to launch in Spring 2010. He also confirmed that 13 first and third-party titles with motion support would be coming at some point next year, including Biohazard 5 (known in the U.S. as Resident Evil 5) and LittleBigPlanet.

Skin fungus infections are very common. You'll find them referred to as "ringworm" or "tinea" infections. The diagram below, illustrates the parts of the body that are particularly susceptible. This post then continues with a set of skin fungus pictures, sourced from CDC Public Health Image Library, referenced back to the diagram. Most forms can be treated effectively via topical application of an antifungal cream or liquid, although certain forms of scalp ringworm are more serious and should be treated under medical supervision. It is always advisable to seek the advice of a qualified medical professional for a definitive diagnosis and treatment advice that is specific to your condition.
Skin fungal infection pictures
1. Scalp ringworm
Ringworm of the scalp primarily affects young children. If the fungus is able to penetrate deeply into the hair follicles the condition can prove to be difficult to treat. The presence of multiple circular, raised balding patches are characteristic of the disease. The patches can become scaly, inflamed and itchy. Book an appointment with your doctor to determine the best treatment methods.
2. Ringworm of the beard area
This condition is due to a fungal infection around the bearded area of men. The disease often results in significant inflammation around the hair follicles.
3. Tinea versicolor
In the image above you can make out a patchy rash extending across the back, neck and shoulders. This was identified as tinea versicolor. Caused by a yeast, the condition is relatively common in humid climates and primarily affects young adults and adolescents. Some sufferers report success with applying a selsun sulfide shampoo to affected areas, but more concentrated topical treatments may also be needed.
4. Ringworm of the body
This may occur on any part of the body. It is easily recognized by a circular red rash with a defined, raised edge. It's the wavy worm-like appearance of the edges of the rash that gives the disease the name "ringworm". But the condition is caused by a dermatophyte fungus (not a worm). Read more on ringworm cures.
5. Ringworm of the toes (Athlete's foot)
A common fungal infection that normally starts between the toes, see image above. The rash is typically very itchy and can cause the skin to crack and peel. It is commonly referred to as Athletes foot, foot fungus or toe fungus. Cross infections to other parts of the body (in particular the groin area to cause "jock itch") are common. For treatment options read this guide to toe fungus treatment.
What about Candida yeast infections?
As yeasts are botanically related to fungi, they are sometimes grouped under the generic term of "skin fungus" – (as is the case with tinea versicolor above). Most yeast infections are caused by Candida yeast species and result in a red, scaly, itchy rash. The most common is vaginal yeast infections in women, but men can also be affected. For for information on signs, symptoms and treatment, read this article on how to get rid of yeast infection.

Hopping aboard the Heat Hater express
As Jeff Van Gundy said on ESPN's preseason conference call Tuesday, perhaps it's a good thing the season is almost here, since it might actually mean an end to all the nonsense.
But because next Tuesday can't get here fast enough, issues remain.
For his part, LeBron James chose to Tweet: "Today is Hater Day. Everyone please let them get their 2 mins of fame and light! I Love You Haters. Continue to make me proud of u guys! LOL"
Trouble was, it didn't take long for racial epithets to enter the equation, James perhaps re-tweeting to make a point.
Later, James tweeted, "U see world how people feel! Just use it as extra motivation in whatever u do best! No one can stop your dreams from becoming reality!"
Then there was SportsRadioInterviews.com posting a transcript of Stan Van Gundy's radio appearance on 790-The Ticket, with Magic coach getting back to the offseason back-and-forth with his former boss, Heat President Pat Riley.
"I haven't talked to Pat in a long time, certainly not since any of that," Van Gundy said. "I didn't take it as big of a deal as what everybody else did. He was upset about some of the things said about some of the players that he now has. I honestly did not mind his criticism of my comments as I said when he mentioned that I was out of line on my comments about Chris Bosh. He had every right to say something about that.
"I took offense to it and came back at some of the things that he said about Otis (Smith) primarily and his comments. Then, just in general, just accusing other people of moralizing and things and I had just heard too many things from Pat moralizing things over the years to not be able to laugh at that, that he was taking others to task at that.
"I didn't take it as a big deal. He had his say, I had mine, people disagree in these kinds of situations all the time, and it's no big deal. It didn't change the way I thought about anybody that's for sure."
And then there is Stan's brother, Jeff, who ruffled some feathers at 601 Biscayne, when he suggested this summer the Heat could possibly break the NBA's all-time record of a 72-10 finish.
Tuesday, on that ESPN conference call, the former Knicks and Rockets coach was asked about expectations.
"I think Miami fans have high expectations and want to see their team win," he said. "I think fans of other teams want to see 'em crash and burn. I think that's normal. I understand Miami's team, players, management, their reaction to the critics of how they went about announcing their free-agent signings, and I also can understand the critics' criticisms of not what they did, but how it was announced.
"Those subplots, to me, will go away, because here in another week it all becomes about basketball."
Folks, the games that mean something can't get here fast enough.
