A population model in search of a model population
3:00-3:25 pm / CH 435
Abstract. The purpose of this project is to model a population with two stages, that is, adults and juveniles, at least one of which interferes with the other in some way. One type of interference to consider is that of the adults in a given species cannibalizing the juveniles. This type of behavior is evident in some species of fish that give live birth, and some insects. The simplest form of this model is given by using a linear equation for the population of juveniles at time t+1: Jt + 1 = c*At
And an equation for the adult population at time t+1 that incorporates a Ricker type term for the transition of juveniles to adults:
At + 1 = b*Jt*exp(-k*At) + a*At
Here the Ricker type term accounts for the cannibalistic behavior. Incorporating several parameters is necessary in order to obtain a data fit to a particular species. The beauty is in the fact that these parameters can be varied under controlled conditions in order to investigate the types of bifurcations that can be seen in the model. This approach to population modelling was inspired by the approach used by the writers of Chaos in Ecology. The particular types (and sequences) of bifurcations that can occur in such a model is still the focus of some investigation. In biological terms, these bifurcations are the response of the population to disturbances caused by external factors. These external factors range from varying food supply to directly adding or removing individuals from the population. This model is still in search of a population to which it can be applied. Also it is important to note that as of yet the model is purely deterministic, and that after an application is selected and data has been fit, there will be additional stochastic elements incorporated into the model.

Is pollution necessary to maintain genetic diversity within the peppered moth population?
2:30-2:55 pm / CH 435
Abstract. This research is inspired by the classical story of the peppered moths used as an example of natural selection. We classify the peppered moth population in three subpopulations according to their genotypes, the AA and aa moths which are homozygous for the color gene and the Aa moths which are heterozygous for the color gene. AA and Aa moths have dark color and aa moths have light color. The goal of this research is to find a suitable pollution level at which all the subpopulations survive. We set the bird predation rate on light moths and dark moths to be an increasing and a decreasing linear function respectively of the pollution level. We predict the AA and Aa moths to be extinct at low pollution levels and to survive at high pollution levels whereas the aa moths survive at low pollution levels and are extent at high pollution levels.

Complexifications: analytic, algebraic, geometric
2:30 pm / CH 435
Abstract. Complexification of a real manifold tries to imitate the case how the real Euclidean space sits in the same dimensional complex Euclidean space, as the set of points, with all coordinates real. To associate a complex manifold in a natural way to a real manifold makes it possible to use complex methods to study real manifolds. The very first application of such ideas was Grauert's theorem to show that every real-analytic manifold admits a real analytic embedding to some Euclidean space. In this lecture we shall give a survey how one can try to construct natural complex manifolds, starting with a real manifold, using analytic, algebraic ideas, or using some extra structures on the real manifold (Riemannian metrics, connection), what is know about these complexifications and finally we shall discuss some conjectures about these structures.

On a class of elliptic problems in R2: symmetry and uniqueness results
2:30 pm / CH 435
Abstract. In the plane R2, we classify all solutions for an elliptic problem of Liouville type involving a radial weight function. As a consequence, we clarify the origin of the non-radially symmetric solutions for the givne problem, as established by Chanillo and Kiessling.
The problem we consider stems from different areas of analysis and geometry. We are particularly interested in it since it occurs as a limiting equation in blow-up analysis of Chern-Simmons theory. On the other hand, the existence of non-radial solutions was observed in results related to statistical mechanics

Reduction Methods for Systems of Ordinary Differential Equations
2:30 pm / CH 435
Abstract. We are interested in systematic methods to reduce the dimension of large systems of ODEs that involve fast and slow dynamics. The fast dynamics take the orbits close to an invariant low-dimensional manifold, and the slow dynamics take over as the state of the system approaches the manifold. One can achieve considerable savings in the study of the long-term dynamics of such systems if one knows the location and properties of the slow manifold. Many reduction methods have been proposed for this purpose, especially in the chemical kinetics literature. In this talk I will discuss some of these methods and their mathematical properties.

The Yamabe problem on noncompact manifolds with boundary
2:15 pm / CH 458
Abstract. The celebrated Riemann mapping theorem states that any simply connected region in the plane is conformally equivalent to the unit disc U. If we think of U as a surface of zero Gauss curvature and constant curvature on the boundary, a possible generalization of this theorem to higher-dimensional manifolds comes from studying the following:
For n > 3, let (Mn,∂M,g) denote a Riemannian manifold with boundary and metric g. Find a metric g conformally equivalent to g so that (Mn,∂M,g) has zero scalar curvature and such that ∂M has constant mean curvature.
More generally, one can address the problem of finding conformally related metrics with prescribed behavior on the boundary. Namely:
Let f: ∂M → R be smooth. Find g conformally equivalent to g that is scalar flat (i.e. has zero scalar curvature) and has mean curvature ≡f on ∂M.
In this talk we will show that for (a large class of) noncompact manifolds with boundary the following holds:
Theorem. Any smooth function on ∂M can be realized as the mean curvature of a scalar flat metric conformally related to g.
The proof of this theorem follows from a more general PDE theorem that we will present.

Almost All Palindromes Are Composite
2:30 pm / CH 435
Abstract. We study the distribution of palindromic numbers, with respect to a fixed base g≤2, over certain congruence classes using a basic sieve method and exponential sums. We drive a nontrivial upper bound for the number of prime palindromes n<x as x goes to infinity, and our result shows that almost all palindromes are composite.

An overview of random Schrodinger operators
2:30 pm / CH 435
Abstract. This talk is intended to be an introduction to, and an overview of, some of the highlights of the theory of random Schrodinger operators. These can be roughly grouped into spectral and dynamical results and include the almost sure invariance of the spectrum, Anderson spectral and dynamical localization, and properties of the density of states. Some of the major open problems in the field will be discussed.

Hyperbolicity in soft billiards
2:30 pm / CH 435
Abstract. Given a planar/spatial configuration of circles/spheres, one may consider the motion of a point particle that travels along straight lines and experiences elastic collisions with the circular/spherical scatterers. This model, introduced a century ago by H. Lorentz to describe the motion of an electron in some material (the scatterers represent atoms) is one of the main motivations for studying billiard dynamical systems. These systems are characterized by hyperbolic (chaotic) phenomena, which is, roughly speaking, strong sensitivity to perturbations at initial conditions.
With the above historical remark in mind, the following generalization is natural: interaction with the scatterers is no longer hard core, the point particle may enter them and in the interior its motion is governed by some circularly/spherically symmetric potential. This boils down to the study of soft billiard systems. As to the planar case, it was observed more than thirty years ago and since then has been studied in detail that, for certain softening of the potential, the hyperbolic nature of the billiard dynamics persists. Recently similar phenomena have been identified in the three dimensional case as well.
In this talk, I would like to describe the mechanism behind the presence of hyperbolicity, both in two and in three dimensions. I would also like to comment briefly on the question whether hyperbolicity implies strong statistical properties - like fast relaxation to equilibrium - in these systems.
All the new results I am going to mention are joint with Imre Peter Toth.

Deterministic walks in random environments
2:30 pm / CH 435
Abstract. Deterministic walks in random environments (DWRE) occupy an intermediate position between purely random(generated by random trials) and purely deterministic (e.g. generated by maps) models of transport in systems of (generalized) particles. Such models appeared in many applications where a role of particles was played by signals, waves, robots, read/write heads of Turing machine, etc, and, of course, by particles. In DWRE these objects move on some graph G by hopping between its vertices according some deterministic rules (scatterers). These scatterers are randomly distributed over the vertices of G. We present several examples of unusual and fascinating dynamics of such models as well as the simplest deterministic models of diffusion, sub- and super-diffusion. This talk will be accessible to undergraduates familiar with the (very) basics of probability theory.

Inverse Scattering for ∂ Equations and Applications
11:00 am / CH 458
Abstract. The works of Nachman and Ablowitz, and Henkin and Novikov introduced inverse scattering methods to the parameter identification problems. In there, the linear Schrodinger equation in the physical space is paired with a pseudo-analytic equation in the complex space of the parameter. Another method, due to Beals and Coifman pairs a first order (∂-system in the physical space with a pseudo-analytic matrix equation in the parameter space.
I will present an inverse scattering method in which the ∂-equation
∂ u — q û = 0
in the physical space is paired with another ∂-equation in the parameter space. Due to the symmetry between the scattered solutions in the physical space and the ones in the parameter space, we are able to present a non-linear analog of the Fourier inversion formula.
As an application I will revisit a problem proposed by Cheng an Yamamoto, and show how to reconstruct the convection coefficients b1 and b2 in Δ u + b1 ux + b2 uy = 0 from measurements on the boundary,

A non-linear model for relativistic electrons interacting with Dirac's vacuum
11:00 am / CH 458
Abstract. We study the Bogolubov-Dirac-Fock model, which is a mean-field theory deduced from QED. Contrary to usual Dirac-type theories the associated BDF-functional is bounded from below. Its elements are infinite rank projectors describing the electrons, the observable ones as well as those filling up the Dirac sea. We prove that for any ultra-violet momentum cut-off Λ the BDF-functional attains its minimum. The minimizer fulfills a self-consistent equation representing the polarized vacuum. Moreover we show that for Λ to infinity the theory gets "nullified" as predicted by Landau. Furthermore the BDF-functional can be minimized under the constraint of a fixed charge q allowing the description of atoms and molecules. Finally we also state the existence of global-in-time solutions to the associated time-dependent equation.

Analytic and Geometric Aspects of Moduli Space of Riemann Surfaces
10:00 am / CH 458
Abstract. I will discuss my recent joint works with Prof. Kefeng Liu and Prof. Shing-Tung Yau.
We introduce new metrics on the moduli and the Teichmuller spaces of Riemann surfaces, and study their curvatures and boundary behaviors by using the singular perturbation techniques from partial differential equations. These new metrics have Poincare growth near the boundary of the moduli space and have bounded geometry. Based on the detailed analysis of these new metrics, we obtain good understanding of all of the known classical complete Kahler metrics, in particular the Kahler-Einstein metric from which we prove that the logarithmic cotangent bundle of the moduli space is stable in the sense of Mumford.
By studying the Monge-Ampere equation together with the Kahler-Ricci flow on complete non-compact manifolds, we derive C^k estimates directly without using the C^0 estimate. Based on these analysis, we prove that the Kahler-Einstein metric has strongly bounded geometry.
Another corollary is a proof of the equivalences of all of the known classical complete metrics to these new metrics, in particular Yau's conjectures on the equivalences of the Kahler-Einstein metric to the Teichmuller and the Bergman metric.

Analytic torsion on Calabi-Yau manifolds
11:00 am / CH 458
Abstract. We study spectral invariants of torsion type on Calabi-Yau manifolds of dimension three. We define a new holomorphic invariant modifying the so-called BCOV torsion and explore its applications in the study of moduli space of Calabi-Yau manifolds. Using both analytical and algebraic tools, we determine the asymptotic behavior of the new invariant near a singular Calabi-Yau variety, especially for a Calabi-Yau variety with only one ODP singularity, which leads to a current curvature formula. As an application, We verify a conjecture of Beshadsky-Ceccotti-Ooguri-Vafa. In many examples, we link our metric invariant to automorphic forms. This is a recent joint work with Z. Lu and K.-I. Yoshikawa.

Localization for random Schr\"odinger operators and Lifshitz tails
11:00 am / CH 458
Abstract. The addition of disorder can have a profound effect on the spectral and dynamical properties of a self-adjoint differential operator. This phenomenon, known as Anderson localization (named after P. W. Anderson, who first proposed it as a mechanism for localization in 1958 and won the Nobel prize for this work) was initially discussed in the context of the conduction properties of metals, but the mechanism is of relevance in a variety of other situations. The theory of random operators has seen rapid growth in the last decade. The main open questions in the field revolve around the existence of extended states in dimensions greater than or equal to three, and localization at all energies in two dimensions. In this talk, I will present the (Aizenman - Molchanov) method of fractional moments, as well as a new result on localization in dimension three at weak disorder (Lifshitz tails) regime.

Bilinear pseudodifferential operators: towards a comprehensive theory
10:45 am / CH 458
Abstract. One of the principal motivations for the study of pseudo-differential operators is their wide applicability to partial differential equations. We start by illustrating this with some heuristics about the constructions of approximate inverses to elliptic partial differential operators. From here, we make the transition to bilinear pseudo-differential operators, which can be thought of generalizations of the product of two functions and their derivatives. We introduce several classes of these operators and present some recent results about their boundedness on products of Lebesgue, Sobolev and other spaces of smooth functions.

Modeling Missing Fragments in Incomplete Protein Models
2:30 pm / CH 445
Abstract. X-ray crystallography is a widely used experimental technique to obtain atomic coordinates of 3D protein structures. Once a sequence of X-ray diffraction images is collected from a sample in crystalline form, a distribution of electronic charge in R^3 of the atoms constituting the macromolecule can be calculated. A protein model is then obtained by placing atoms such that electronic charge is best accounted for. Over the past few years there have been tremendous advances in automated model building techniques, and in many cases it is now possible to proceed from diffraction data to an initial model of a new protein structure in a few hours. However, the degree of completeness of these initial models, i.e. the fraction of atoms or residues correctly placed, varies widely depending on the quality of the experimental data and rarely reaches 100%. The subsequent step of manual completion of a partial protein model, i.e. building missing fragments, is time-consuming and prone to subjective interpretation.
We have developed a method that combines fast, inverse kinematics algorithms with a real space, torsion angle refinement procedure in a two stage approach to automatically fit missing main-chain fragments into the electron density between two anchor points. The first stage samples a large number of closing conformations, guided by the electron density. These candidates are ranked according to density fit. In a subsequent refinement stage, optimization steps are projected onto a carefully chosen subspace of conformation space to preserve rigid geometry and closure. Experimental results show that fitted fragments are in excellent agreement with the final, refined structure for lengths up to 12-15 residues in areas of weak or ambiguous electron density, even at medium to low resolution.

A molecular Landau-Zener formula in the time-dependent Born-Oppenheimer approximation.
2:30 pm / CH 445
Abstract. Consider the Schroedinger equation generated by a slowly varying time-dependent two-level Hamiltonian with isolated eigenvalues. The Landau-Zener formula gives the transition probability between the corresponding eigenstates in the adiabatic limit.
A molecular Hamiltonian describing heavy nuclei and light electrons is naturally split into the kinetic energy of the nuclei and the electronic Hamiltonian depending on the position of the nuclei. The time-dependent Born-Oppenheimer approximation allows to treat the nuclei semiclassically and the electrons adiabatically. It is thus tempting to replace the semiclassical nuclear degrees of freedom by classical trajectories, so that the electronic transitions are described by means of an effective adiabatic time-dependent electronic Hamiltonian and the corresponding Landau-Zener formula.
In this talk we shall revisit this scenario by considering time-dependent solutions to the molecular Schroedinger equation for two-level electronic Hamiltonians. We will describe the piece of the solution that makes a transition between the electronic energy levels in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation and show how the Landau-Zener formula must be modified in order to yield the corresponding transition probability.
This is joint work with George Hagedorn.

Continuous Newton's Method and a new Nash-Moser Inverse Function Theorem
2:30 pm / CH 445
Abstract. We indicate how continuous Newton's method leads to a somewhat unusual kind of dynamical system in the case of complex polynomials. A point of view developed for polynomials leads to new, vastly simpler, inverse function theorems of the Nash-Moser type. The importance of such inverse function results in partial differential equations is discussed.

Coherent and Dissipative Transport in Quantum Systems
2:30 pm / CH 445
Abstract. The theory of transport in Quantum Systems is still an open mathematical problem to a great extent. Transport in aperiodic solids, such as quasicrystals or semiconductors at low temperature, the theory of the Quantum Hall effect and analogies with atomic physics have been a strong motivation to revisit the theory on better mathematical grounds. After an introduction motivating the problems, various rigorous results on coherent transport will be reviewed. Then the dissipative part will be described in more detail: the Relaxation Time Approximation (RTA) will lead to anomalous Drude formula, and the Lindblad operator formalism will be described to represent the Markov Approximation. Proofs of Kubo's formula for transport coefficients follow. Open problems and partial results in justifying this formula will be described.

Spectral concentration and resonances of a λ-rational Sturm-Liouville problem
2:30 pm / CH 445
Abstract. We examine the resonances and points of spectral concentration of the λ-rational problem
-y'' + [q - λ - t w / (u - λ)] y = 0
with boundary conditions
y(0) cos α + y'(0) sin α =0, y(1) cos β + y'(1) sin β =0.
In particular we study the dynamics of the resonance/eigenvalue λ(t) showing that an embedded eigenvalue can evolve into a resonance and that eigenvalues which are absorbed by the essential spectrum give rise to resonance points. A connection is also established between resonances and points of spectral concentration. Finally some numerical examples are given which show that each of the above theoretical possibilities can be realized.

Jacobi Matrices: spectral phase transition phenomenae
2:30 pm / CH 445
Abstract. We consider some classes of selfadjoint Jacobi matrices (=infinite tridiagonal matrices) with power-like growing entries. The main problem under investigation is the spectral behaviour of the families of such matrices with respect to the changing of some "physical" parameters included into the formulae for matrix entries. Examples will be considered in which a jump from discrete spectrum to purely absolutely continuous spectrum is observed if the parameters cross so-called crititcal surfaces. The main tool here is the asymptotic analysis of the corresponding orthogonal polynomials related to the Jacobi Matrices in a classical way.

Darcy's law in isentropic porous media flows
2:30 pm / CH 445
Abstract. As an experimental law, Darcy's law plays an important role in the investigation on compressible flows through porous medium. It was conjectured that Darcy's law can be verified by basic balance laws of mechanics time asymptotically. Previous attempts are able to justify the conjecture for small smooth flows away from vacuum. I will show a proof to the conjecture valid for all physical flows. This is joint works with F. Huang and P. Marcati.

The Euler equation for the Hardy operator
2:30 pm / CH 445
Abstract. Let T be a bounded linear operator from a Banach space X into another Banach space Y. Then, for n>0, the n-th approximation number an=an(T) of T is defined by
an = infrank(P)<N< i> ||T - P||
where ||T - P|| denotes the operator norm of T-P and the infimum is taken over all linear operator P from X to Y with their rank smaller than n. Of course, the approximation numbers should reflect some properties of the operator T. For example, T is compact if and only if an converges to 0.
Many works have been done in the case that T is the Sobolev embedding operator for a domain Ω in Rm (or, more exactly, T is one of the variants of the the Sobolev embedding operators). Even in this case not much has been known for a general domain Ω. In the simplest case that Ω=I, where I is a finite interval, we can now compute the approximation numbers for almost all Sobolev embeddings. So called extended trigonometric functions play crucial role in the analysis. The (generalized) Hardy operator T from Lp(I) to Lq(I) is defined by
Tf(x) = v(x) ∫ax u(t) f(t) dt.
There have been many works to evaluate the approximation numbers for the Hardy operator and obtain the asymptotic behavior of an by approximating the functions u and v by simpler function such us step function. In this talk, after giving the background of problem briefly, we are going to present another method which may be called a differential equation approach. We are introducing some central concepts such as the Euler equation for T, extended trigonometric functions, the Prufer transform. Then we discuss how to show the `eigenvalues' of the Euler equation are the same as the approximation numbers (or not). Little background knowledge is necessary for this talk other than elementary knowledge of ordinary differential equations and functional analysis. Indeed most of the arguments are on the level of calculus.

Modelling Electric Potential within a Human Head
2:30 pm / CH 445
Abstract. The ability to locate the source of electrical activity within the human brain as a result of external stimuli, trauma, or medical conditions such as schizophrenia is important for appropriate medical treatment. This presentation will discuss the development of a mathematical model to simulate the movement of electrical potential within the brain and a novel technique for locating the source of electrical potential using an inverse technique. The distribution of electrical potential within the human head can be represented using the Diffusion Equation. The finite difference technique has been applied to this equation using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from a real head and assuming a relationship between tissue type and electrical conductivity within the brain. The resulting forward model has been compared favorably with a known analytic solution. The forward model forms the basis of an inverse model, wherein measured electroencephalography (EEG) data on the scalp are used together with linear and non-linear response functions and non-linear regression to attempt to locate the source of the electrical potential. The mathematical foundations of this presentation will be limited; the major focus will be in showing how relatively simple numerical techniques can be applied very effectively to cognitive neuroscience.

Report: Dino Gaudio has "no interest"
A reporter at WTRF in Wheeling, WV tweeted tonight that Dino Gaudio has "no interest" in the Duquesne job.
Mike Anthony
@MAnthonyWTRF: Dino Gaudio tells me has no interest in Duquesne coaching job. #valley guy
Gaudio does have ties to Wheeling, so this seems quite credible.
His coaching career started at Central Catholic High School in Wheeling back in 1981, when he was an assistant for the late Skip Prosser.
Gaudio was quickly tied to the search at Duquesne because of his longstanding friendship with AD Greg Amodio.
Amodio has been mum since last Friday's news conference and said he will not discuss the coaching search while it's ongoing.

In Lima, Peru, there is a tradition among the rich and prominent to hire black pallbearers for family funerals. The presence of black pallbearers signifies wealth in the country. Wearing tuxedos and white gloves, the pallbearers make about $5 per funeral and around $70 a week.
The practice started in Spain during colonial times when slaves would carry the coffin and some would also follow the caskets. Slaves also accompanied their masters to church. While the job of pallberarer is not forced upon the black communities today, the racist practices of the city forces the dark-skinned Peruvians to take the more undesirable jobs. Those out of work, with criminal histories or simply lacking opportunity look toward the contractor pallbearer position as a means to stay employed. Most recently, black pallbearers were request for the wife of former U.N. Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar.
The other, more affluent Latin societies of Brazil, Columbia and Panama have a significant black population and more opportunities are available. In Lima, Peru, however, only 2 percent of Afro-Peruvians go to college. Many take jobs on the sugar cane plantations.
The race of people isn't accounted for in the Peru Census; Afro-Peruvians account for 10 percent of the population of 29 million people in Lima. The separatism among races in Lima was so strong that President Alan Garcia issued a public apology to the Afro-Peruvian people of his country in 2009.

The Vision statement for the Reno Sparks Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan was presented at the November public workshop, along with Draft Goals for the plan.
To support walking and bicycling, the Region will have an integrated system of safe, convenient and comfortable bicycle, pedestrian and other non‐motorized facilities that provide access to schools, jobs, shopping, neighborhoods, community facilities, parks and regional trails.
Draft Goals
- Support walking and bicycling and the development of a comprehensive bicycle and pedestrian transportation network that connects to other transportation modes, meets the needs of commuter and recreational users, and creates a viable alternative to the automobile in order to increase the number of people bicycling and walking by ___ percent.
- Maintain the aesthetic appeal, cleanliness, and functionality of the existing infrastructure with regular ongoing maintenance, as well as major rehabilitation efforts.
- Develop and implement an education and enforcement program that will reduce the number of collisions each year by ___ percent and provide a greater sense of security and confidence for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
- Collaborate with other jurisdictions within the Region to create inter-jurisdictional facilities and establish regional design guidelines, joint funding applications, and compatible standards for new development.
- Insure mobility for the transportation disadvantaged by providing accessible, universal design and ensuring that all transportation investments are socially equitable and take into account the needs of all users.
- Maximize the amount of state and federal funding for bicycle and pedestrian transportation improvements for which Reno, Sparks, and Washoe County are eligible by identifying and aggressively pursuing grants each year, and by including bicycle and pedestrian improvements in all transportation projects.
- Develop a balanced land-use and transportation system that minimizes the need for automobile travel and maximizes the opportunity for transportation alternatives such as public transportation and non-motorized travel modes.
- Encourage project sponsors to consider the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians when designing, reviewing, and approving all development and transportation projects and accommodate those needs, whenever possible.
The following posters were presented at the November Public Workshop Open House. The solid lines show existing facilities, and the dashed lines show proposed facilities. Workshop attendees were asked to choose their two favorite projects from the maps.

Basic Risotto
From EatingWell: January/February 2011
Slowly adding hot broth to arborio rice helps release the starch from the rice, giving risotto its characteristic silky, creamy texture. We add a splash of wine along with each addition of broth to give the dish a more pronounced wine flavor. If you'd prefer the wine to be more subtle, add the entire cup at the end of Step 2 and cook, stirring, until the liquid is absorbed, then begin adding the broth. If you prefer to omit wine, use more broth in its place.
Makes: 8 side-dish servings, about 2/3 cup each

Nutrition Profile
Healthy weight | Heart healthy | Low cholesterol | Low saturated fat | Low calorie | Gluten free |View Our Nutrition Guidelines »
- 5 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth, beef broth, seafood stock, bottled clam juice, "no-chicken" broth or vegetable broth (see Notes)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup chopped shallots or onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups arborio, carnaroli or other Italian "risotto" rice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup finely shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
You Might Also Like
- Bring broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat so the broth remains steaming, but is not simmering.
- Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add shallots (or onion) and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add rice and salt and stir to coat.
- Stir 1/2 cup of the hot broth and a generous splash of wine into the rice. Cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid has been absorbed. Continue to cook on medium-low, adding broth in 1/2-cup increments followed by a splash of wine, and stirring frequently after each addition, until most of the liquid is absorbed. The risotto is done when you've used all the broth and wine and the rice is creamy and just tender, 25 to 35 minutes total.
- Remove from the heat; stir in 3/4 cup cheese and pepper. Serve sprinkled with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese.
Tips & Notes
- Notes: Bottled clam juice can be very high in sodium. We like Bar Harbor brand, which has 120 mg sodium per 2-ounce serving. Look for it in the canned-fish section or the seafood department of your supermarket.
- Chicken-flavored broth, a vegetarian broth despite its name, is preferable to vegetable broth in some recipes for its hearty, rich flavor. Sometimes called "No-Chicken Broth," it can be found with the soups in the natural-foods section of most supermarkets.

Employer-sponsored on-site child care, although a smallpercentage of the U.S. child care market, is of substantial interest to families, firms andgovernments searching for relief from work/family conflicts. This paper analyzes employee surveydata from three firms in the same industry and local labor market, two of which offer on-sitechild care while one does not. These data allow for detailed descriptive and multivariate analysisof the child care strategies of working parents, including primary, secondary and Saturdaycare, and how such strategies are affected by the availability of employer-sponsored on-site care.

Estaban was an outstanding lightweight who defeated an undefeated Duran as Roberto began to climb up the ranks. Dejesus was only defeated by high quality fighters throughout his career! I remember him being 35-0 or something close to that before he lost to Pal Gonzales a very good South American fighter who I think was undefeated at that time also! Ray.

I would add Buchanan to the fights already posted. Fantastic fight, even if it did end with Duran destroying Ken's testicles.

A few of his latter career fights were fun. The fights against Simms and Ferrera were both good, especially the Ferrera fight. Really shows his savvy, skill, heart, experience etc in that one...as well as his lack of training, lack of size and age against a huge puncher at his best.

I love his fight against Palomino. Plus Davey Moore, although its not so much a fight as a massacre.
And imo against Dejesus, he was still kinda wild. I prefer him vs Leonard, and his late LW fights when he showed more patience and craft.

Business culture versus strategy
With global and domestic economies getting tougher, business leaders are looking for better ways to set up their organisations for the future. But do businesses need clever strategic planning or is it rather about fostering the right culture? An expert panel explores whether business culture is led by strategies - or the other way round.
This discussion is moderated by Karina Carvalho, presenter of ABC News Queensland.

Good business practice is obviously an important and necessary part of the human condition, but perhaps in this time and place the phrase "business culture" is somewhat of an oxymoron.
Many writers have argued such a case including David Korten (When Corporations Rule the World), Thom Hartmann (Unequal Protection and other books) and Douglas Rushkoff (Life Inc.)
Furthermore the power of big business and big money now controls the entire world.

The most boring nonsense I've heard for some time. "Our strategy is to build a culture". "Our culture is to strategise." "We think it's a good strategy to culturally strategise so we have a strategic culture of building a culture of strategies in terms of strategic cultural strategies at the end of the day." Bah.

Taylor Lautner starring in 'parkour thriller' 'Tracers'
Taylor Lautner is set to star in a "parkour thriller," "Tracers."
That's right: the beloved "Twilight Saga" werewolf has been tapped to play a New York City bike messenger, in the FilmNation Entertainment flick. Lautner's character Cam is "the hottest thing on two wheels, but is in debt to an organized crime gang," and gets mixed up with a "sexy stranger" Nikki and "is immediately seduced by her and the thrill of the world of parkour."
Parkour -- or "free running" -- for those playing at home is the athletically fancy way of getting around objects in an urban landscape. You've probably already seen some of that on YouTube.
"Bruc, the Manhut" director Daniel Benmayor is directing while Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey of Temple Hill Entertainment will produce.
The film will be looking for distribution suitors starting at Festival de Cannes, which kicks off this week.
Lautner starred in his most recent non-"Twilight" film last year, "Abduction." The final chapter of the popular film series, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2" is currently in post-production; Jacob will be making his last appearance when it hits theaters on Nov. 16 this year.

Historical Traveler Reviews Tahoe Lakeshore Lodge And Spa South Lake Tahoe
Loved this Facility
This lodging was more than the pictures give it credit. I researched almost every facility in the area, before deciding on this lodging. It was spectacular. The location is the only beach front property in South Lake Tahoe. The staff was wonderful. Every request is answered to your satisfaction in minutes. I can honestly say, I almost didn't write this review, because I don't want too many people to find this place. I would like to have it all to myself. Extra pillows, no problem, checked in early, no problem. I don't know where the less than perfect reviews came from, but they could not have been at Lakeshore Lodge & Spa. It was everything and more than expected.
Terrible customer service
The place ended up being a glorified motel and did not live up to the description on their website. The most disappointing part was the customer service. At the time we made the hotel reservation, we gave our credit card information to hold the room. We asked what the cancellation policy was and were informed if we didn't show up we'd be charged for one night. We knew we'd be staying one night, it was the second night that was up in the air. At the check in, we were asked to show our credit card and were charged for one night. We assumed this was the first night, since we hadn't authorized any other charges. We told the management we'd probably be checking out the next day and they said no problem. However, when we went to check out the next morning, they informed us that we would still be charged for the second night because they had a two night minimum. This was the first time they told us this. We figured they'd admit there was a misunderstanding, however, the manager said that there was nothing they could do and wouldn't even let us discuss it with her! We are currently wasting valuable time in our lives disputing the charges and reporting them to the Business Bureau. If you're a hard working, honest person, please don't give your business to these types of people. If we can prevent this from happening to someone else, that will prevent this from being a total waste of our time!
Loved the View
All the rooms had patios or balconies with a wonderful view of Lake Tahoe, overlooking the hotel's private beach! It was really nice to be able to come back to the hotel and enjoy the beach while the public beaches were crowded and parking hard to find. The decor was pleasant and the staff very friendly and helpful. Enterance to the hotel was tricky at first since it is not really on a street, but more on the back of a parking lot. There was a heated pool and hot tub that all the kids loved, and there was even a volleyball and net set up on the beach. However, the walls and floors were very thin and noise travelled easily. The sink area was cramped for two people and the tub/shower drained very slowly. Overall, this hotel was nice except for the noise, and reasonablly priced for the area ($125). It would be hard to guarentee the same or a better view from other hotels at this price range
Breathtaking Lakeside View
My boyfriend and I stayed at the Lakeshore Lodge & Spa for three nights, 2/13-2/16. We stayed in a room on the 3rd floor with an amazing view of the lake. I was very pleased with this property. It was exactly as beautiful as the pictures on their website show. So, if you are looking at their website and you like what you see, then you will love the Lakeshore Lodge & Spa. We also had a massage at the Elements Spa which is located on the property. Wonderful! I really want to come back in the summer because I would love to lay out at the resort's beach. The beach of course was covered in snow and we didn't want to venture out in the cold to take a walk. There's lots to do in South Lake Tahoe with the lake, skiing, casino, restaurants, and clubs.
Nice Romantic Get-away spot!
My husband and I visited in October 2002 and had a fabulous time.
Everyone was friendly, the view was breathtaking and the rooms were very cool. We enjoyed our stay and plan to return.
Highly recommended!!
My wife and I made our first trip to Lake Tahoe in April, 2003. It was our 6th anniversary and my cousin was getting married on the same day at the Riva Grill. We, all, stayed at the Tahoe Lakeshore Lodge and Spa and were completely satisfied. Of course, you can find newer hotels up the road on the Nevada side, but you will pay dearly for the style and still not be on that beautiful lake. The rooms were rather romantic and the view from my balcony was absolutely breath-taking. I could not stop taking pictures. I highly recommend the Lakeshore Lodge and Spa if you want to relax and enjoy Lake Tahoe. If you wish to waste a lot of money, go on up the road. Sincerely, Chris
A bit weathered but nice
I visited Lake Tahoe for the first time this summer and stayed at the Lake Tahoe Lodge and Spa. The fact that the lodge is located on the Lake is wonderful, however, the lodge itself is a bit old and in need of some tlc. The rooms were clean and the lodge staff were very friendly but now that I have toured the area I think I would prefer to stay in North Lake Tahoe (Incline Village or Tahoe City). The inns and lodges in the north part of the lake are newer and less commercialized.
Lake Tahoe Lodge and Spa sits right on the main drag behind a restuarant. While the opportunity to stay on the lake is nice, I think there are much nicer lodging available.
Not up to par!
The lodge was ok if the price matched the quality. The cancellation policy MUST BE CONSIDERED BEFORE BOOKING A ROOM! When we arrived, the room was ready as promised. We requested a "higher floor" room but got one on the first floor. The room was supposed to be "non smoking" but we could not get the smoke smell out of the room. The rooms have not been updated in quite some time, with NO AIR CONDITIONING. This caused us to leave the sliding room door open all night to keep cool despite our safety concerns. The room was very noisy due to thin walls. We could hear all of the rooms next to and above us due to "creaky floors". When we asked what the refund policy was if we needed to cancel early, we were told "YOU MUST CANCEL 14 DAYS IN ADVANCE TO RECEIVE ANY REFUND" Thus, not allowing you to leave early if you have an emergency without losing your money. The problem is, if you are not satisified with the first night of a 4 day vacation, you have no option to leave.
Best Vacation Ever
This incredible hotel is the only lodge in South Lake Tahoe located right on this beautiful lake. They have a well groomed sandy beach, a well kept pool & hot tub.
The rooms were clean, newly decorated (with gas fireplaces & all had a view of the lake.
The staff was extremely helpful. Taking time out of their busy schedule to book dinner reservations & arrange transportation to the casinos & other points of interest.
They are locateed only one miles from Heavenly Valley & have shuttles running all day long
I would highly recommend this establishment to singles, couples & families considering visiting Lake Tahoe
Look elsewhere!
My boyfriend and I took a trip out to Lake Tahoe's south shore this past July. When we arrived at the Lakeshore Lodge and Spa we were disappointed to find out that our room wasn't even ready. After traveling all day we were discouraged that we couldn't settle in, and instead we had to wait an hour and a half. Our room was not all that attractive either. The wallpaper was peeling off, there were leaking stains on the ceiling, and the room all together was unattractive. When we went to lie on the beach, we were astounded by their lawn furniture. The reclining chairs were broken, rusty,had missing wheels, and had broken straps. The ice machines are quite antique as well, they should have been updated some time ago. We thought about getting another hotel, but it was one of the few that was right on the water. When we tried to play volleyball (since the net was up), they told us they didn't have one and quit buying them because people would take them.
The only good thing about this place is the spa! We both had facials and massages and found them to be wonderful.

I have met a few other thru-hikers along the way: Tripod, Tigerlily and LittleDevil. It's been really nice getting to know others out here.

Ramping up the skiing
... leverage/power from her legs into her turns. She is loving the board and her problem with the bindings not being centred on her shoe is sorted. The weather is really warm. In the sun, I believe it hit about 50 and tomorrow is meant to be even warmer. Its an early spring for Tahoe. If its not snowing, then its better when its hot as the snow softens and makes it quite nice to carve.
Once again, before we came home, we stopped at the Tamarack lodge to eat our ...
Day Six Visiting Lake Tahoe
... shaped like arches you walk through. These tanks have a large variety of good sized fish. In the centre of the store is a big working ferris wheel. The prices are also unbeatable. I got a pair of Asic Gel Kayano's for $99. Wandering around I found 3 half sized Daytona cars lined up with three big screens in front.
