'Economic freedom' scorecard released
Published: Monday, February 25, 2013 at 11:11 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 25, 2013 at 11:11 a.m.
A nonprofit advocacy group called Americans for Prosperity, which believes in reducing the size and intrusiveness of government, has offered up a scorecard on Louisiana's delegation from the last Congress.
Americans for Prosperity's Policy Director James Valvo said the scorecards rank votes on "economic freedom" and represent the "best way for our activists to keep a close eye on Washington, and confront them when they don't vote responsibly."
For a passing grade, lawmakers had to support such issues as the repeal of President Barack Obama's new health care law, preempting EPA's purported authority to regulate greenhouse gases, ending ethanol subsidies and more.
Eighteen representatives and one senator received a perfect 100 percent, while 21 representatives and one senator received an "F."
Former Rep. Jeffrey M. Landry, a New Iberia Democrat who represented Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes before redistricting, received an "A," as did Rep. John Fleming, R-Shreveport.
The congressmen who now represent the Terrebonne-Lafourche region, Reps. Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge, and Steve Scalise, R-Metairie, got a "B."
So did Sen. David Vitter, a Republican from Metairie, and Rep. Charles Boustany, R-Lafayette.
Rep. Rodney Alexander, R-Quitman, received the only "C."
The only members of the delegation who are not Republican brought up the rear, with Sen. Mary Landrieu, a New Orleans Democrat, getting a "D" and Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-New Orleans, ending up with a "D-."

As the New York Daily News reports, Family Tree Entertainment chief Michael "Blue" Williams has proposed the creation of a program that would give mentorships - and Beyoncé concert tickets - to young African-American and Latino men who turn in their firearms. Raymond Kelly, New York's police commissioner, told the "Daily News" his department is still studying the proposal. It would function as a private-sector version of the city's existing buyback program, which provides up to $250 for guns turned in anonymously.
Williams, who previously managed OutKast and Cee-Lo Green, said, "I think we should all work together to help get guns of the streets," Williams said. He has reportedly raised $75,000 of his $100,00 goal for the program called "Guns for Greatness."

Interview with Lars J. Nilsson, author of free online gambling software
Not long ago, after giving a speech about free software I was asked by an audience member whether the free software community had come up with free (as in freedom) gambling software. I answered "no", and... I was wrong. A bit of research told me that there us such a platform: that's Cubeia's Firebase. Yes, it's fully free software/open source, the real deal. I couldn't resist: I asked its founder (and software engineer) for an interview. So, here we go!
TM: Hello Lars. Can you please introduce yourself?

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|< Introduction
|Irving's response >
The case for the Defendants
5.218The Defendants' case is that in his account Irving has again manipulated the historical record and misrepresented the effect of Hitler's intervention. According to Evans, Irving achieves this by, firstly, suppressing documents which demonstrate that the background to Hitler's intervention was a dispute whether (as Field Marsahll Kesselring was urging) the Jews should be kept in Rome on fortification work or whether (as Himmler had ordered) they should be sent to the Reich and liquidated. There was strong local feeling in Rome that the Jews should stay there. Evans agreed that the documents show that Hitler directed via Ribbentrop that the Roman Jews were to be taken to Mauthausen as hostages. But their fate was then to be left in the hands of the SS, that is, effectively in the hands of Reichsfuhrer-SS Himmler. So, Evans contended, far from interceding on behalf of the Jews, the effect of Hitler's intervention was to place these Jews in the murderous hands of the SS. The dispute was thus resolved by Hitler against those like Kesselring who were trying in Rome to save the Jews and in favour of the SS who had already made clear that they intended to kill the Jews when they got their hands on them.
5.219The Roman Jews were transported northwards, not to Mauthausen, but to Auschwitz where they were in due course murdered. According to Evans, the claim that the Jews were to be held at Mauthausen "as hostages" was intended to disguise the fate which the SS had in mind for the Jews in the hope that it would appease the anxious officials in Rome. Hitler knew perfectly well what was going to happen to them. It was in reality no part of Hitler's intention that the Roman Jews should be kept alive. Mauthausen was a notorious concentration camp, where the inmates were systematically worked to death.
5.220Irving, say the Defendants, having unjustifiably praised Hitler for his intercession on behalf of the Jews, compounds the error by suppressing the fact that the Roman Jews were murdered.

OLYMPIC VALLEY - "Hardy was our answer man. He knew everything at Squaw Valley from what was in the air to the ground, and the loss of that wealth of knowledge will be missed by every department."
This was how David Precit chose to describe former co-worker and friend Erhard Hardy Herger, one of the pioneers who helped make Squaw Valley what it is today - one of the largest and revered ski areas in the United States.
Herger, 77, died Sept. 9 after falling 200 meters while hiking alone in the Switzerland mountains near his home, according to friends and officials. He was found the next day by residents when he did not return home.
"It was with deep sadness that we learned Hardy Herger passed away while hiking nearby his home in Switzerland," said Mike Livak, executive vice president of Squaw Valley, on behalf of the resort. "Hardy made enormous contributions to Squaw Valley resort during his lifetime of work here. Hardy's infectious smile, keen intelligence and consistently positive outlook will be missed by all of us."
Herger came to Squaw Valley in 1968 to serve as the lead electrician on the Aerial Tram, one of the resort's signature attractions. The lift's electrical drawings were in accordance to European conventions and written in German, and Garaventa, the Switzerland tram manufacturer, recommended Herger for the job, said Hans Burkhart, Squaw Valley's former general manager and longtime friend of Herger.
"He had an extreme work mentality," Burkhart recalled. "He never complained. ... That was Hardy."
After the Aerial Tram was completed, Herger and Burkhart spent a year at the Snowbird resort in Little Cottonwood Canyon, Utah, to build the Snowbird tram, before returning to Squaw, Livak said.
"We always returned to Squaw," Burkhart said. "I had to have Hardy come with me where I went because I needed an electrician."
Precit described Burkhart and Herger as the "dynamic duo." The two worked together at Squaw Valley until after the Funitel lift system was complete in 1998, Livak said.
Throughout his career, Herger worked on more than 80 ski lifts, according to a speech that was given at his funeral in Switzerland.
"People like Alex Cushing, Dave McCoy and John Riley were the strategic visionaries who conceived and built Squaw Valley, Mammoth and Alpine Meadows," Livak said. "Guys like Hans Burkhart, Hardy Herger, Dick Reuter, Norm Saylor and Luggi Foeger were a few of the tactical and operational visionaries who actually built and operated the stuff of dreams in early California skiing."
In 1992, Herger got involved in hydronics - which is the use of water as a medium for transferring heat in heating and cooling systems - and plumbing with the construction of Squaw's children's ski/snowboard school, Livak said.
Afterward, Herger worked as an employee and consultant in areas relating to plumbing, hydronics, electrical and HVAC, responsible for such systems as those designed to take the heat out of the ice rink at High Camp and use it warm the swimming pool, Livak said.
"He was very smart and a jack of all trades," Burkhart said, "If he didn't know, he could figure it out."
While Herger worked full time at Squaw, he returned to school to earn his Ph.D. in theology, which he earned in 2004.
"After a full day's work, he would clean up and drive to Sacramento for his classes, and then drive home the same night," said Donna Brenner, executive secretary for Squaw Valley. "He had more energy and drive than most people I know. He was one of the most dedicated, motivated, caring people I've ever known."
Driving and spending time in the Nevada desert were two of Herger's hobbies, Livak said.
"Hardy drove countless miles exploring the open space of the Silver State," he said. "He loved to drive, and sometimes would drive to Winnemucca, Nev. (approximately 200 miles away) for dinner."
Herger was scheduled to return Squaw Valley for the 2012-13 winter season in mid-September, his 44th year with the company.
"He made his mark all over the mountain," Burkhart said.
Herger was born on Feb. 10, 1935 in Urnerboden, Switzerland, a village with a then-population of 250 residents located in the Swiss Alps, according a funeral speech.
The speech went on to say, he was the fourth child of Maria and Josef Herger, who were mountain farmers, and the family eventually grew to 10, with four sons and four daughters.
In 1939, the family bought their own small farm on the mountainside of Rigi, a mountain in central Switzerland, and the children helped on the farm while attending school a hour away.
After finishing school, Herger became an alpine herdsman to the Baumgartenalp in Canton Glarus, but his dream was to become an electrician, a dream that came true through his association with Mr. Rüegger, a director of a power company.
Herger become a trained electrician and a telephone system designer, and by 28, he owned his own electrical firm. Through his training, he got in touch with Garaventa, making various steering systems for cranes and lifts.
When Herger traveled to the United States to assist with the Tram project, he agreed to stay in Squaw Valley for three months, but ended up staying in the country for 44 years. Yet throughout the years, his connection to Switzerland never broke. Every summer starting in 2006, Herger returned to Urnerboden, where he planned to retire.
Herger was laid to rest in Urnerboden and is survived by his daughter, Cornelia.

James Carpenter has been holding court on Bay Area stages from Cal Shakes to San Jose Rep for almost 30 years. The consummate actor has reigned supreme in iconic Shakespearean roles from "Richard III" and "Henry V" to "Titus Andronicus." His cavalcade of classical performances has earned him the mantle of Bay Area theater royalty.
"He's one of the finest American actors anywhere," says Carey Perloff, artistic director at San Francisco's American Conservatory Theater. "When I think back to the gallery of portraits he has created over the years from his 'Master Builder' at Aurora to his beaten-down salesman in 'Glengarry Glen Ross' at ACT, I feel incredibly grateful that he has chosen to make the Bay Area his home."
Widely hailed as a local treasure, the 60-year-old thespian brings an unmistakable intelligence and forcefulness to every role he plays, but he also seems to disappear into the part so that he can hop from Strindberg to Stoppard in a heartbeat. In 2010, Carpenter won the prestigious Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship for his estimable contribution to the theater world. Now he is bringing his gravitas to bear on Scrooge in ACT's "A Christmas Carol." But despite his many years in the spotlight, he still bristles at accolades.
"Local treasure? How the heck did that happen?" Carpenter says.
"It's hard to believe that people think of me that way," he says. "I've always had trouble taking compliments with grace because I usually think there is something I could have done better, but getting recognized for your work is very humbling. I feel incredibly blessed to have this kind of career. It's miraculous."
But that doesn't stop those in local theater from praising him to the skies.
"In all his characters, from kings to everymans, he is able to endow each with deep humanity," says actress Amy Resnick. "When you look into his eyes, you see fire, you see a twinkle, you see an ache."
An Army brat who moved around the globe perpetually as a boy, Carpenter lived everywhere from New Mexico to Germany. He finally moved to the Bay Area in the 1980s, soon becoming a stalwart company member at the then-fledgling Berkeley Rep. The region appealed to him far more than New York or Los Angeles because he always wanted to be an artist and not a celebrity.
"I fell in love with the Bay Area right away," he recalls. "I think you have to live where you can be happy in your life as well as your work. Too many actors move somewhere just to make more money and that very rarely makes you happy. It may make you rich but that's not the same thing."
For the record, he treats "A Christmas Carol" with the seriousness of political theater. Though some productions of the holiday show are so precious they lose all bite, Carpenter views the Dickens perennial as a cautionary tale for our society.
The actor, who cut his teeth at the celebrated Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, approaches Scrooge with the same depth and nuance as he would King Lear. Even though this is his seventh whirl through ACT's seasonal chestnut, he invests every moment with a deeply felt sense of realism.
"Children love this play but it's not really a show for children," he says. "That's not who it resonates with. You have to have lived for a while for the themes to register with you. Dickens was an angry man when he wrote this. It's very political. It's a fable for adults.
"You can't experience this play and then walk past the homeless people outside. I know I can't," says the actor, who lives in Oakland. "If I see someone with their hand out, I give what I can. That's the power of theater."
He takes all of his roles to heart. When he plays a tortured soul, like the title character in "The Dresser" at San Jose Rep, he feels the sting deeply. In fact, he recently turned down a part at the Magic Theatre in San Francisco because he'd "done a lot of dark stuff lately and it can be hard to take."
That intense sense of empathy may be the secret to his versatility as an actor.
"Compassion might be a key to why his range is so broad and true, an ability to relate across a wide spectrum of humanity," says actress Stacy Ross. "He's absolutely committed, well-read, smart, experienced and with a truly broad range. He's also one of the best guys you'll ever meet."
And he's also the rare actor who listens as much as he talks. He makes a point of chatting with the homeless people who camp out near San Francisco's Union Square. He's even trying to snag some of them tickets to "A Christmas Carol." That is the kind of guy he is, friends say.
"He's a pal. While he has a great intensity onstage, he is laid-back and warm in real life," says Tom Ross, artistic director of Berkeley's Aurora Theatre Company. "He takes his work seriously, comes into rehearsal super-prepared and hones his performances until they are polished like gems."
Carpenter's commitment to the craft is unparalleled. Honesty is mandatory for him. If he does something onstage that doesn't feel true, his "bogometer" goes off. He never tosses off a performance. And despite three decades of experience, he still sees himself as a student of the form.
"I try to choose projects because I can learn something from the people involved, from the playwright or the director or the other actors," he says. "And then I invite them to push me as hard they can. That's what I want. Every performance has to be fresh or it's no better than a recording."
He pays great attention to details partially because he has to. Lighting designs, for instance, can sometimes trigger his epilepsy so he has to vet strobe effects ahead of time.
Rigor and discipline come naturally to him. He had to be the best to please his father, who was an Army colonel and a tough customer. His dad repeatedly told him that he had no talent for acting and advised him to quit the stage or court disaster.
His father relented after seeing Carpenter play Petruchio in "The Taming of the Shrew" in the 1970s. "It was the first time I had ever seen that kind of pride on his face," recalls the actor, tenderness in his eyes. "I'll never forget it. Finally getting his approval like that was very gratifying for me."
For the record, his father was right about the grim reality of being a starving artist. Money is always tight for Carpenter and his wife, Cassandra, a costume designer. In order to afford the luxury of starring in Harold Pinter's "The Homecoming" at the Aurora back in 2000, he had to pump espresso at Peet's Coffee between performances.
"Theatergoers kept coming in saying, 'What are you doing here?" he says, chuckling. "I was just trying to survive."
The gig paid Carpenter the princely sum of about $250 a week but the performance was a master class in subtlety and restraint.
But make no mistake, Carpenter is no theater snob. He had a ball playing the Frankenstein monster in "The Creature" and he's a rambunctious blogger in his spare time. But it's his devotion to the power of art that makes this "Christmas Carol" far more than just another holiday show.
"Can theater change the world? I hope so," the actor says. "I know it can change how we think and the way we feel."

"Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival." Winston Churchill, May 13, 1940
The destiny of mankind is not decided by material computation. When great causes are on the move in the world...we learn that we are spirits, not animals, and that something is going on in space and time, and beyond space and time, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.Winston Churchill, radio broadcast to America on receiving the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws from the University of Rochester, New York, June 16, 1941

When Things go Horribly Awry (but are still tasty)

At least the taste worked out for you, and that's the most important part. Have you tried replacing eggs with either half of a mashed banana or a tablespoon of flax meal mixed with 3 tablespoons of warm water?

Love love love love that you posted this! And so wish I could make some pastries, too, as here in France, it's not unusual to be invited for a 'galette,' and that means cake...and i hate being the weirdo vegan who can't indulge in the lovely goodies being offered! Alas, I have recently discovered a most annoying allergy to wheat, which would only make things ever so slightly more complicated...our lack of an oven is the real culprit! One day...

oh! i'm sorry about your tart. I posted about a failure recently also. It ended in a double failure which was all in all about 3 hours wasted kitchen time. First failure was a gluten-free vegan potato gnocchi (yea right). Although my little dumpling things held up okay the texture was really weird and not so tasty.
So, I figured I'd put olive oil in a baking dish, press my potato disasters together to make something of a potato layer and then topped it with daiya, homemade beetball "sausage", mushroom and green pepper. I mean, that would taste good right?
It was okay. the potato layer kind of came out like tater tots. But then, minutes after I sat down to try a few bites, I heard the baking dish explode. I had pulled it out while it was very hot and somehow or another it couldn't deal with the change of temperature. my disaster of a creation was now covered in glass. phooey!
also, i always tell my husband to put a tray under things he bakes. it's hard to clean an oven!

I find that most of my recipe failures happen when I'm baking something. For me, it feels like a total failure, but really I think it's just to keep me in check when I think I can go around replacing ingredients all willy nilly. ;)

Secondary education has long been one of the professional objectives of many history majors in American colleges and universities. For students training for a career in secondary education, two circumstances in the contemporary job market will affect their professional life. First, while teaching faculties at all levels are expected to experience unprecedented rates of retirement in the coming decades, there are many potential applicants for available jobs, and the job market will be extremely competitive.
The field of education itself, including history education, is also striving to develop new pedagogical strategies and is emphasizing increased academic rigor. To meet these challenges, secondary education history majors must strive for excellence in course work, select courses to help develop a comprehensive content background in history, and maximize opportunities to develop pedagogical skills and experience in interpreting history for varied audiences.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The overwhelming majority of organic farmers in the United States and Canada are honest and hard-working. And guess what? They don't care if their neighbors use genetically-modified seed. It's the urban leaders of the organic movement who are stoking irrational fear, not farmers.
I've inspected over 500 organic farmers in the United States and Canada. I've communicated with another 1,000-plus organic farmers since I performed my last inspection. And I can attest that the activists are using organic farmers for the misguided political end of curtailing the use of modern science and technology in agriculture. Shameful!

That Patrick Paden kid just keeps on making Earth Hour-Summit County happen.
Tomorrow night, Saturday, March 23, from 8:30-9:30, he hopes we'll again turn out the lights to make our planet better.
"It started with an idea, a simple action, for the betterment of our planet. I was 15 when Earth Hour started in Summit County - a sophomore at Summit High School, trying to define who I was and what I stood for," recalls Patrick, now 20.
Patrick has since graduated from Summit, earned a two-year degree from Colorado Mountain College graduate in environmental science and entering as a junior this fall at the University of Colorado studying environmental design.
"I look forward to making this program grow," he says, looking toward the future.
"I hope to take this program statewide. I have walked up to the doors of every government building in the county with hope to get Earth Hour passed in their town and now I am hoping to stand on capitol hill in Denver to pass a proclamation for the State of Colorado within the next few years."
This year Patrick has again signed up the Summit County government, towns of Breckenridge, Dillon, Frisco and Silverthorne, Summit School District and another roster returnee, Arapahoe Basin, "will power down" for Earth Hour.
What started in Sydney, Australia, six years ago, continues to grow.
Patrick's efforts have grabbed the attention of couple of big name "green" organizations, he explains.
"Without saying much, the World Wildlife Foundation and Earth Hour USA were shocked to hear what was coming out of this little mountain community and who was behind it," Patrick notes with modest satisfaction."
"I encourage all residents and business owners this year to power down and make a great night of the event," he says.
He suggests we "break out some candles, play some board games, invite people over and simply have a great time with the lights off."
"As Arapahoe Basin says, 'Do it in the dark.' Earth Hour is here to educate and help make a difference in your life," he comments.
Spotted out for lunch at the Boatyard recently was Frisco Town Manager Bill Efting, who was hosting Basalt Mayor Jacque Whitsitt and husband Tim. It was Tim's birthday.
Bill used to be the manager over there and in Avon and Dacono. He started his public career as the director of Aspen's recreation operations back in the '70s
Jacque was a longtime executive director for the Colorado Association of Ski Towns (CAST).
Today, Friscoite Joyce Burford heads the group. She and Frisco native son - and mayor - Gary Wilkinson, are a highly visible "power couple."
CAST is an organization of 26 municipalities and three counties whose economies are largely dependent upon tourism. Its members include the mayors, managers and council members of mountain resort towns.

Eagle Police were called to the Eagle Valley Medical Center last week when a customer reportedly began yelling and making threatening statements.
Staff asked the woman to leave the property and when police officers arrived, she was sitting in her car at the parking lot. The police report noted that the woman was clearly upset and her behavior was erratic. She told officers she was angry because her son was sick and when she caused a scene after being told there were no available doctors, she was not allowed back in the office.
The office staff agreed to release the woman's medical records to her at her car, but the officer noted she was "very verbally abusive" about the office personnel. Eventually, the officer said the woman transferred her "poor attitude" to him.
When she decided to leave the parking area, the police report states the woman "put her vehicle in reverse aggressively." The officer's patrol car was parked closely behind hers and the officer warned the woman not to hit his vehicle. She reportedly responded with a snide comment and the officer issued a radio alert noting she might be driving aggressively when she left the area.
When the officer contacted the medical office staff, the manager declined pressing charges but offered more details about the woman's actions prior to the police arriving on the scene.
Approximately 25 minutes after the initial call, the officer received a report from a friend of the woman concerned that she might be dangerous to herself or her child. The officer contacted Eagle County Sheriff's deputies to do a welfare check at the woman's home in Gypsum. He also called the woman's cell phone. She answered and refused to tell the officer where she was.
Eventually, the woman called back and while she refused to speak with police, she handed the phone to a family member who assured the officer that the woman and her child were all right and that "we would watch out for them."
No charges were filed.
An Eagle resident called police to report concerns that her neighbor might be attempting to retaliate in response to her filing an animal control complaint regarding his dog's problematic barking.
The woman said she watched her neighbor walk his dog around the back area near her home. She said he then told his dog to sit and fed him treats. "She believed this was an intentional attempt on his part to get her dog or the neighbors' dogs to start barking," noted the report.
The woman requested documentation of the incident for future reference if there are additional concerns. In researching the report, the Eagle officer noted there were several reports on file concerning the woman's neighbor showing he had "used poor judgment" and became involved in or provoked a confrontation.

What 'The Simpsons' Teaches Us About Math
"Marge and Homer Turn a Couple Play" is an episode of "The Simpsons" from 2006 that focuses on Mr. and Mrs. Simpson's attempts to salvage the rocky relationship between baseball hero Buck Mitchell and his wife Tabitha Vixx. The episode appeals to various audiences for different reasons. For example, fans of 20th century literature would have appreciated the reference to J. D. Salinger, while fine art enthusiasts would have smiled at the nod to Michelangelo's Pieta. The highlight for mathematicians was a scene at Springfield Stadium where the Jumbo-Vision screen asks baseball fans to guess the attendance.
The screen displays multiple choice options: 8128, 8208 and 8191. These digits might seem arbitrary and innocuous, but in fact they represent three highly significant numbers — namely a perfect number, a narcissistic number and a Mersenne prime. Before explaining the meaning of these mathematical terms, I first want to reveal who smuggled them into "The Simpsons."
One of the main culprits was Jeff Westbrook. Just as you would expect of one of the writers of "The Simpsons," Westbrook has an impressive list of comedy writing credits, but more surprisingly he also has an impeccable background in mathematics and science. Having majored in physics at Harvard, he then completed a Ph.D. in computer science at Princeton, where his supervisor was Robert Tarjan, winner of the 1986 Turing Award, known as the Nobel Prize of computing. After Princeton, Westbrook spent five years as an associate professor at Yale and then he joined AT&T Bell Laboratories.
However, Westbrook loved slapstick and punnery as much as statistics and geometry, so he eventually left research and headed west to Los Angeles. When I met him last year, he told me that his research colleagues had mixed feelings about his change of career. He still recalls his boss's parting words: "Well, I understand why you're doing it, but I hope you fail because I would like you to come back here and work."
Other writers on the team have equally geeky CVs, and together they can boast a couple of Ph.D.s in mathematics and a handful of masters degrees in the subject, as well as several bachelor degrees courtesy of the Harvard mathematics department. Others, such as Mike Reiss, lack a mathematics degree, but were members of their high school mathletics team and have retained a passion for all things numerical and geometrical.
And, before I forget, what exactly is special about the numbers in "Marge and Homer Turn a Couple Play"?8,128 is dubbed a perfect number, because its divisors add up to the number itself. A smaller perfect number is 28, because 1, 2, 4, 7 and 14 not only divide into 28, but they also add up to 28. As Rene Descartes, the seventeenth century French mathematician, pointed out, "Perfect numbers, like perfect men, are very rare."
8,208 is a narcissistic number because it contains 4 digits, and raising each of these digits to the 4th power generates four numbers that add up to itself. In other words 84 + 24 + 04 + 84 = 4,096 + 16 + 0 + 4,096 = 8,208. The fact that 8,208 can recreate itself from its own components hints that that the number is in love with itself, hence the narcissistic label.
8,191 is a prime number, because it has no divisors other 1 and the number itself, and it is labelled a Mersenne prime because the 17th century French mathematician Marin Mersenne spotted that 8,191 was equal to 213 – 1. More generally, Mersenne primes fit the pattern 2p, where p is any prime number.
Of course, these three numbers are just the tip of the tetrahedron. Over the last 25 years, mathematically-minded writers have been planting dozens of nerdy numerical references into the plots of "The Simpsons," ranging from Fermat's Last Theorem to the googolplex, from Euler's equation to the thorny problem of P v. NP, from infinitesimals to infinity, and beyond. No other series in the history of prime time television can boast so many complex mathematical concepts.
Simon Singh is the author of "The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets," published by Bloomsbury in October.

ROCHESTER — Officials responded to the area of Farmington Road (Route 11) near Cardinal's Plaza Shopping Center Monday morning for reports of a two-vehicle crash.
Three people sustained minor injuries and were transported to Frisbie Memorial Hospital.
A preliminary investigation by Rochester police reveals a blue 1991 Lincoln Town Car operated by Jean Garzillo, 75, of Rochester, was coming to a stop due to construction equipment ahead. Then, a black 1999 Dodge Stratus, operated by Robert Hughes, 50, of Salisbury, Mass., struck her car from behind, at about 11:12 a.m., according to a department press release.
Hughes, Garzillo and her passenger were transported to Frisbie for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. The accident remains under investigation at this time.
Rochester Fire Capt. Steve Johnson said although the accident was minor in nature, crews worked on scene for more than a half an hour to clear it. Route 11 was not closed at that time, he said.
Johnson noted one vehicle was towed from the scene.

Right after I finished setting up plannerlove.com as a coming-of-age gift to myself, I learned that Douglas Johnston is making a website for do-it-yourself planners. Now Douglas Johnston is one of my idols when it comes to organization, and his D.I.Y. Planner series inspired me to go out there and start tweaking my own forms. How can I beat that? Hugely popular, cohesive set of templates, a wiki to support his blog's community... waah. It's enough to make a just-turned-22 girl feel small. But hey, maybe I can still do soft goal analysis--must think of a good way to organize that--and if all else fails, I can always use plannerlove to gush about planner-el... =)

3. Lasagna in the freezer
Having discovered the joys of being able to pull chicken adobo out of the freezer any time I want to eat, I baked an entire casserole of lasagna this afternoon. Lasagna is another one of those recipes that freeze well.
It never occured to me that cooking and freezing large quantities might be a popular trick, but fortunately Lifehack.org flagged it as a useful tip. Turns out that About.com just posted an article on Once a Month Cooking with loads of useful links, including a recipe selector that puts together a shopping list for you.
Way cool!

Marketplace: Iraq's Supply and Demand
This lesson printed from:
Posted July 30, 2008
Grades: 9-12
Author: Council for Economic Education Technology Staff
Posted: July 30, 2008
Updated: January 21, 2013
In this lesson, students listen to an audio file about how the growing demand for workers in Iraq in May 2004 affected the job market, and how the effects of low growth in the supply of workers shaped companies' hiring practices and influenced Iraqi society.
Demand, Markets, Scarcity, Supply
- Identify ways in which how governments and private companies adjust to conditions when the growth in demand outpaces that of supply.
- Predict the change in demand for workers and the market price or wages for the Iraqi workers.
- Comprehend how scarce goods and services are allocated in a market economy. (Through the influence of prices on production and consumption decisions when growth in demand exceeds supply).
Introduce the lesson by explaining that scarcity has important consequences: When demand for goods and services is greater than the supply, the choices of governments, private companies, and individuals are affected. In this lesson, the students will learn how the high demand for and low supply of workers in Iraq is affecting the hiring process and the people of Iraq. The students will learn how governments and private companies compensate for conditions of scarcity of goods and services when the growth in demand exceeds that of supply. They will also learn about problems that can occur when changes in demand out-pace supply.
[Note to teacher: The following link requires RealPlayer www.real.com/dmm/realplayer/search
Marketplace Morning Report : This is an audio clip about the high demand for and low supply of workers in Iraq. It explains how scarcity in the labor market is affecting the hiring process and the people of Iraq.
Marketplace Morning Report
NCEE Glossary: This glossary will help the students become familiar with words that they do not know.
Interactive Flash Activity: Iraq's Supply and Demand note-taker This note-taker will be used throughout the lesson.
Activity 1
Have the students listen to the Marketplace audio file about Iraq's Supply and Demand. As they listen they will complete an outline of important information contained in the story. Then they will use their outlines to answer both factual and evaluative questions about economic concepts addressed in the story.
Provide the following instructions:
Listen to the Marketplace audio file about Iraq's Supply and Demand. The first time that you listen to the audio file, focus on the important economic terms it uses. As you listen to the segment, record any words you don't know or words that you think are important economic terms.
Listen to the audio file again; and as you are listening, use the note-taker to find supporting details for three main ideas. The three main ideas you will focus on today are these:
1. Demand for Civilian Workers in Iraq
2. Obstacles to Hiring Qualified Workers
3. Failure to Meet the High Demands of Iraqi Society
Then listen to the audio file again to gather additional supporting details and possible definitions of the vocabulary words, using context clues; record these in your note-taker.
Finally, you will be asked a series of questions related to the story.
[Teacher notes:
While using their note-taker, the students should identify supporting details about the following:
1. Demand for Civilian Workers in Iraq
2. Obstacles to Hiring Qualified Workers
3. Failure to Meet the High Demands of Iraqi Society]
Question 1: What are civilians being hired to do in Iraq? [correct answer is d]
a) To build bridges
b) To provide security and to translate
c) To interrogate prisoners
d) All of the above
Question 2: Why are these services in high demand in Iraq at this time? [Possible answers: to rebuild the country after the war; to improve the country's infrastructure; to translate for the many foreigners present in the country]
Question 3: How long does it take the new worker to get through the security clearance process? [correct answer is b]
a) One to six months
b) One year to 18 months
c) Six months to one year
d) More than three years
Question 4: What problems might this security clearance process create for contractors seeking to hire workers? [Possible answers: the process takes so long that workers may be lost; some qualified workers may not be passing the security clearance process; some less qualified workers may be hired]
Question 5: Which of the following is a reason for the high demand for workers in Iraq? [correct answer is d]
a) Urgent need for services such as electricity
b) Political need to show progress in reconstruction
c) Fear that the Iraqi people will lose confidence
d) All of the above
Question 6: What steps could be or could have been taken to alleviate the high demand for workers? [Possible answers: more troops could have been sent to help the reconstruction effort; there could have been a more thorough plan for the reconstruction effort from the beginning]
Activity 2
Have the students work with partners to discuss the following questions and record their ideas.
The news story you just heard highlighted some main causes and effects of the high demand for and low supply of foreign workers in Iraq. If you were a contractor in Iraq looking for workers, what are some obstacles you would face and how would you attract workers? Consider the following:
-What are some obstacles not mentioned in the news clip that you might face when trying to attract workers to Iraq? [Possible answers: Foreign workers are being killed and kidnapped by insurgents; the quality of life is very low]
-How would you prioritize the work that needs to be completed (i.e., what work needs to be completed first)? [Answers will vary]
-If the supply of workers remains low and the demand continues to rise, what will most likely happen to workers' salaries? [Possible answers: Workers' salaries should increase since the demand is so high; increases in pay should attract workers to Iraq.]
-What could you do to attract workers to Iraq? [Possible answers: Provide security, provide translators, offer competitive salaries, ease the security clearance process.]
-Would you consider hiring Iraqi civilians? [Answers will vary.]
-Are you more concerned with the quality of the worker or with the workers' ability to pass the security clearance process? [Answers will vary.]
Evaluation 1: Have the students hand in their note-takers.
The students' work should reflect an understanding of the laws of supply and demand and the effect they have had on Iraq in 2004.
Evaluation 2: Have the students discuss Activity 2 with partners and turn in their recorded ideas.
While the students are discussing the scenario, circulate throughout the room and listen to the discussions. The discussions should demonstrate an understanding of how the laws of supply and demand affect decision-making.
By the conclusion of this lesson, the students should be able to identify at least three causes for the high demand for workers in Iraq and three main causes for the low supply of workers in Iraq.
The students also should be able to identify ways in which the laws of supply and demand affect society.
Students can learn more about supply and demand by completing, What Do People Want to Wear? and Economics in the Headlines.

Nabriva in antibiotics deal with Forest
04.06.2012 - Austrian biotech Nabriva Therapeutics AG has partnered with Forest Laboratories Inc. to develop its antibiotic BC-3781.
Vienna - As part of the deal, Forest will have the exclusive right to acquire Nabriva for the next 12 months. Nabriva will receive US$25m. Forest will also fund and help develop BC-3781 during the period. BC-3781 belongs to a novel class of antibiotics, the pleuromutilins. It is designed to treat severe and drug resistant infections including MRSA, penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumonia, Legionella pneumophila, which causes Legionnaires' disease, and Chlamydophila pneumoniae, a major cause of pneumonia.
BC-3781 has potential in both intravenous and oral formulations and the cooperating companies plan to advance it into Phase III testing early next year. Forest said the oral formulation provides an opportunity to treat patients after they leave the hospital and would complement its Teflaro ceftaroline, a cephalosporin antibiotic available only as an intravenous drug.
Nabriva is based in Vienna, and in 2011 it reported positive mid-stage trial results from a Phase IIb study that evaluated BC-3781 as a treatment for acute bacterial and skin structure infections.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-02/nabriva-in-antibiotics-deal-with-forest.html

|That you may have an understanding of their gods I have given you the fashion of them in the figures at the begining which manner of figures is called by the Chaldians, Kah-lee –nos-—>
|And as they lifted up their hands upon me that they might offer me up to and< and> take away my life behold I lifted up my voice unto the Lord my God; and the lord harkened, and heard and he filled me with a vision of the almighty and the angel of his presence stood by my feet and immediately loosed my bands
|And his voice was unto me Abram Abram Behold my name is Jehovah, and I have heard thee and have come down to deliver thee, and to take thee away from thy fathers house, and from all thy Kinsfolks, in to a strange land which thou knowest not of, and this because their hearts are turned they have turned their hearts away from me to worship the god of Elk Kee-nah and the god of Zibnah and of Mah–Mach-rah– and the god of pharaoh King of Egypt. Therefore I have come down to visit them, and to distroy him, who hath lifted up his hand against thee Abraham Abram my son to distroy thy take away thy life, Behold I will lead thee by my hand and I will take thee, to put upon thee my name even the priesthood of thy father, and my power shall be over thee; as it was with Noah so shall it be with thee, that through thy ministry, my name shall be known, in the earth forever, for I am thy God
|Behold Potiphers hill was in the land of Ur of Chaldea and the Lord broke down the alter of Elk-Keenah and of the gods of the land, and utterly distroyed them gods of the land and smote the priests that he died and there was great morning in Chaldean and also in the court of Pharaoh which Pharaoh signifies King by royal blood. Now this King of Egypt was a discendent from the loins of Ham and was a partaker of the blood of the Cananitess by birth: From this decent sprang all the Egyptians and thus the blood of the Cannites was preserved in the land

Union-busting soul destroyer Target, the Wal-Mart of the aspirational set, is in a period of existential peril. The company must find a way to defeat Amazon's online retail empire. The company's big plan (really): a training program, just rolled out, to teach its employees how to be AMAZING.
If you're not really AMAZING material yourself, you can enjoy these clips from Target training videos without being forced to actually hold a job at Target.
A source at Target leaked several of the company's training videos to us; to save you the cruel fate of being subjected to all of them, we've pulled a few key clips. In the first one, above, you learn that, as a Target employee, you must be saying the words "Can I help you find something?" at all times, or you will be killed.
Target has scientifically determined what "ethnic" people want.
How to avoid being raped or robbed in the notoriously dangerous Target parking area.
Here is how NOT to sexually harass a dude at work, even if he has great "ass-ets," wink wink.
Now just watch the "unions are awful" video, and you'll be qualified to work at Target. Congratulations.

Japan's Young Eel Catch Plummets
Steamed or grilled eel has long been a favored dish in Japan, often topped on a bowl filled with white rice and glazed in a sweet soy-based sauce.
Consumption of eel, called "unagi" in Japanese, usually peaks during the hot and humid summer season between July and August, when millions of eel-bowls, or "unadon," are ordered at restaurants across the nation by customers who feast on the slender and slippery fish in the traditional belief that it will give them stamina to overcome heat-induced weariness.
But hauls of young eel have plummeted in recent years, officials at the Fisheries Ministry said Thursday. With some prefectures recording a four-decade low in catches during the ongoing season and leading the Environment Ministry to put them on its endangered list.
Young eel are caught between December and April each year to be bred by fish farmers, but an official at Kagoshima Prefecture — one of the biggest eel producers in the nation — said the combined catch in December and January this year came in at a meager 32.19 kilograms, the lowest amount for the two-month period since it began tallying back in 1971.
The Fisheries Ministry said that while final figures for the season have not been determined, there was a possibility Japan may see an unprecedented fourth straight year of bad catches if things keep going this way. In 1963, 232 metric tons of young eel were caught, an official said. But by 2011, the figure dropped to 5 tons, less than one-fourth of the total 22 tons of young eels bred in Japan that year — the majority being imported from countries like China and Taiwan.
Of the 22 tons, 5.6 tons were sold in the market. But only 2.2 tons of the eel sold were home-bred — the rest were imported, the official said.
Fishery Ministry officials say the possible reasons for the decline include overfishing, loss of habitat to the flood of concrete river-banks and possible changes in ocean water conditions which may be deterring young eels from approaching the Japanese seacoast.
The Environment Ministry last Friday labeled the Japanese eel as endangered on its Red List, saying it could "face extinction in the wild in the very near future."

Since 1982, J. M. Coetzee has been dazzling the literary world. After eight novels that have won, among other awards, two Booker Prizes, and most recently, the Nobel Prize, Coetzee has once again crafted an unusual and deeply affecting tale. Told through an ingenious series of formal addresses, Elizabeth Costello is, on the surface, the story of a woman?s life as mother, sister, lover, and writer. Yet it is also a profound and haunting meditation on the nature of storytelling.
New York Times Notable Book – winner
Nobel Prize in Literature – winner
[Elizabeth Costello] resonates in the mind long after it has been put aside. (John Banville, The Nation)

Slick unit !
Reviewed by Bhav. Review Posted 27/01/2013
I bought this unit together with another drive as my first purchase with BT. No complaints what so ever with the service I got.
This drive is so slick ! Its quiet, fast and fantastic value for money. I bought this to backup my software from laptop but tried it on my smart TV as a PVR drive and its fantastic ! It matches the finish of my TV and I have it attached by 'Velcro' on the back of the TV. It looks as its made for it !
I highly recommend this drive.

Fantastic, Fast and Fully Reliable
Reviewed by Morrison Frew. Review Posted 07/12/2012
Hitachi has always been one of my favourite drives and this fully lives up to expectation. I have used this for a few months now and it continues to impress with its speed of operation and its reliability. It is USB 3.0 but it works really fast on the USB 2.0 port. Although it is USB powered I have had no problems with the normal computer inputs. Some portable drives need extra power but this does not. If you are using an extension hub with other devices attached then you may need to use a powered hub since the USB input needs to have enough power to operate the drive. I can not understand why BT has reduced the price - it was worth the original price so of how much more value is it now. After my initial experience with it I bought another two. You will not be disappointed with it.

Well, that was sort of refreshing.
Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) bid farewell to "Grey's Anatomy" Thursday night and she actually made it out alive. She wasn't killed in an automobile accident. She wasn't mowed down by a mad gunman. And she wasn't, thank God, blown to bits in a Seattle mall explosion.
No, the final image we have of her is in her fancy new office in Zurich, where she's the Director of Cardiothoracic Surgery (it says so on the door) and is boldly stepping "forward into the unknown" with Shane at her side. Yes, fans will miss her dearly, but at least they know she'll be all right.
OK, so it wasn't a riveting or eventful plot twist, but it was a comforting departure from what has become the trendy thing to do in prime time these days -- kill off the character of a departing actor (See: "Downton Abbey," "The Good Wife" and others).
And although we could argue that Cristina's departure should have been more central to the episode, which produced some surprises on other fronts (Maggie is Richard's daughter!?), all in all it was a fitting honor for one of the most offbeat, complex and captivating characters TV has given us in recent years.
Of course, Cristina and her soulmate, Meredith, had to "dance it out" one last time, bopping to the beat of Tegan and Sara's "Where Does the Good Go."
And then, Cristina left Meredith with a bit of advice, telling her that she didn't have to move to Washington D.C. just because Derek wants to.
"Don't let what he wants eclipse what you need," she says. "He's very dreamy, but he's not the sun. You are." (Looks like Meredith heeded those words).
And then she was gone, only to show up one last time at the end of the episode to show us that fancy office in Switzerland and drop a few more lines of narration.
"Sometimes the future changes quickly and completely," she tells us. "And we're left only with the choice of what to do next. We can choose to be afraid of it, to stand there trembling, not moving, assuming the worst that can happen. Or we step forward into the unknown and assume it will be brilliant."
So what did you think? Was it a proper farewell for Cristina and the great Sandtra Oh? Or were you expecting more? Do you think the show will be able to adequately fill the void she leaves? Who will be Mer's BFF now?
