Buzz of the Week
It's Vivek Kundra versus the government bureaucracy, and the information technology industry can't wait to see who wins
It's Vivek Kundra versus the government bureaucracy, and the information technology industry can't wait to see who wins.
At stake is nothing less than the federal government's decades-old acquisition process and its $75 billion IT budget. If the federal chief information officer has his way, that process will finally be forced to accommodate the Web-based economy, and as a result, the government's IT budget will shrink considerably.
That was the upshot of the mainstream IT press's coverage of last week's unveiling of Apps.gov, the Obama administration's much-anticipated online technology storefront.
Apps.gov is based on the cloud-computing model, in which organizations access software via the Web and pay for it as a service rather than downloading it onto their own servers.
The appeal of that approach is that an organization buys only what it needs rather than stockpiling software licenses, and it avoids the cost of hosting and managing the software and all the associated data.
However, the idea of government data floating out there in the cloud might give some federal IT security managers a serious case of the willies. Cloud computing also requires a change in how agencies budget for and buy technology because they are paying for a service, not a fixed product.
"It will be tough for Kundra to bang enough heads together to make real and permanent changes in federal IT, but it's what President Obama hired him to do, and he seems to be off to a good start," wrote David Coursey, a blogger at PC World. "Now the warring with government agencies can begin in earnest."
Kundra said the shift to the cloud-computing paradigm could take a long time, and others agreed.
"There will be resistance for years to come, predicated upon culture," Bruce Hart, a former deputy CIO at the CIA, told Robert McMillan of the IDG News Service.
Opponents of the initiative are certain to cite concerns about security. "We're going to see the word 'security' used as the counter-ammunition to his initiatives," said Hart, now chief operations officer at data-center company Terremark Worldwide.
Nearly every report noted the presence of Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, at Kundra's press conference. As one of the most prominent vendors championing the cloud-computing model, Google is no casual bystander in this initiative.
"With a customer as large as the U.S. government, this is a coup for Google, which has been trying to push Google Apps adoption in the enterprise," wrote Computerworld's Sharon Gaudin. "Having major government agencies willing to depend on Google for Web-based applications is quite an advertisement for the company's wares."
Incidentally, Google announced last week that it would tailor its Google Apps cloud-computing offerings to meet government security requirements by certifying the software and hiring employees with security clearances.
But many other companies have a vested interest in seeing Kundra succeed, particularly in the current economic climate.
"If the government embraces a long-term, widespread adoption of new technology, it not only finds some cost savings but also pumps much-needed revenue into the hardware, software and Internet companies out there," wrote Sam Diaz for ZDNet.
As eager as vendors are, they might find themselves answering a lot of questions before they get to the stage of taking orders. For example, vendors can assure customers that their systems are secure, but how do they write such assurances into a contract?
"Users who ship data to the cloud will need contractual guarantees that it will be maintained with the same level of security as it was in-house, but neither vendors nor users are sure yet how such guarantees can be made," wrote InformationWeek's Charles Babcock. "The owner of the data remains responsible if it is lost or misused, and it remains unclear how much of that responsibility, if any, can be shifted to a cloud supplier."
Other questions have arisen about the availability and reliability of cloud systems and the prospects of an organization "being locked into a single cloud provider," Dan Olds, an analyst at Gabriel Consulting Group, told Computerworld.
Let the battle begin.

It is interesting that security is brought up as a major concern. Let's take a look at the current state and approach of security now. In reading through all the FCW, GCN, and Washington Technology articles over the past years, it clearly indicates that the government has major challenges with protecting data with the traditional model. From lost laptops containing PII, to thumb drives, to sensitive data being sent unencrypted, to major government systems being hacked, to email systems systems being used as an attack vector, to email being down for both planned maintenance and unplanned outages, to unpatched systems, it would seem these would be the very reasons to move to proven cloud computing vendor and companies with a security track record in this field.

SAN DIEGO -- Strip away all those special-teams blunders and turnovers, and this is how San Diego is really supposed to look.
Philip Rivers tied his career high with four touchdown passes and the Chargers beat the Denver Broncos 35-14 on Monday night for their third consecutive victory.
|More on Broncos-Chargers
|Related links
"This was the most complete game we've played in all three phases," Rivers said. "We are in a lot of ways in playoff football already. You almost can't afford a step back at this point.
"We haven't peaked," added Rivers, who leads the NFL with 3,177 yards passing and has a chance to break Dan Marino's single-season record of 5,084 set in 1984. "I don't think we're playing at 100 percent, but we're playing pretty good."
While Rivers did it on a season-low 233 yards, San Diego's defense, led by linebacker Shaun Phillips, settled in and harassed Denver's Kyle Orton after he led an easy opening scoring drive. Denver was held to 235 yards and converted only one of 12 third downs.
Patrick Crayton scored on a 40-yard catch-and-run late in the second quarter, hurting his left wrist as he fell into the end zone, and speedy little Darren Sproles had a 57-yard catch-and-run early in the third.
"We're coming together as a team," coach Norv Turner said. "We can continue to get better but I think we're playing our best football."
The four-time defending AFC West champion Chargers (5-5) even pulled off a fake punt, a remarkable accomplishment considering all the special-teams gaffes that contributed to a 2-5 start, the worst in Turner's four seasons as San Diego's coach. Mike Scifres -- who has seen five of his punts blocked this year -- waited for fullback Mike Tolbert to get open, then hit him with a 28-yard pass that set up Rivers' tying 6-yard scoring pass to Malcom Floyd in the first quarter.

|Denver Broncos
|After an early stop, the defense had no answer for QB Philip Rivers and the rest of the Chargers offense. Kyle Orton frequently found Chargers pass rushers in his face. He was unable to move the ball with any consistency.
|San Diego Chargers
|The defense consistently swarmed Kyle Orton. Philip Rivers was phenomenal as usual. For the first time all year, the special teams not only looked decent, but they actually had a highlight. The Chargers finally look like the team most thought they would be coming into this season.

"I didn't have a second read, so I was glad Mike got open," Scifres said.
The Chargers, coming off their bye, pulled into a second-place tie with Oakland, one game behind Kansas City. Denver fell to 3-7.
"This is exactly what we set out to do when we were 2-5," said cornerback Antoine Cason, who intercepted Orton in the second quarter. "We wanted to get back in the division race to set us up for these games against division teams, and now our fate is in our own hands."
Phillips said the Broncos were "disrespectful" before the game.
"They kind of broke it down and had some chants, but we didn't buy into it. We were the better team after that first drive," he said.
"They outplayed us and made some adjustments that certainly had an effect on the game," Denver coach Josh McDaniels said. "Once they got control of the game, we don't want to play the game the way we ended up playing it."
Rivers, who never flinches even if his favorite receivers aren't playing, completed 15 of 24 passes, including three to Crayton for 105 yards. Tolbert gained 111 yards on 24 carries.
Rivers also threw four touchdown passes in the Chargers' previous game, a 29-23 victory at Houston on Nov. 7.
The Chargers had no trouble despite playing without star tight end Antonio Gates, who missed his second successive game with a torn plantar fascia in his right foot, and rookie running back Ryan Mathews, still bothered by a high ankle sprain.
Although it wasn't quite the air show that had been expected between Rivers and Orton -- the NFL's top two passers coming in -- Rivers and his receivers came up big.
Late in the second quarter, Crayton caught a short screen pass, broke a tackle by Brian Dawkins and raced toward the end zone. He was being tackled as he ran into the end zone and fell awkwardly on his left wrist even as he gave the Chargers a 21-7 lead. He was taken to the locker room and was on the sideline in street clothes in the fourth quarter, his left arm in a sling. Turner said he hopes it's a sprain.
Earlier, Crayton caught a deep pass from Rivers and stiff-armed safety Renaldo Hill to gain extra yards, finishing with a 49-yard gain to the Denver 6. Tolbert scored on a 1-yard run two plays later for a 14-7 lead.
Sproles' big touchdown catch capped the opening drive of the second half and extended San Diego's lead to 28-7. He cut inside, caught Rivers' short pass and outraced the Broncos to the end zone.
Rivers' final scoring pass was a 3-yarder to fullback Jacob Hester early in the fourth.
Orton was coming off a four-touchdown performance in a 49-29 dismantling of Kansas City. The Chargers held him to 217 yards on 24-of-38 passing and sacked him five times.
Phillips had two sacks in the second quarter, including one when he chased down Orton as he tried to complete a flea-flicker.
"They kept bringing pressure and we couldn't hold them off," Orton said. "It's tough to do much when that happens."
Orton moved the Broncos 69 yards in six plays to open the game, with Knowshon Moreno scoring on a 4-yard run. Orton was 3 for 3 for 47 yards on the drive.
"We didn't make any adjustments, really. We just stuck to our game plan, and after that first drive, it worked," Phillips said.
Orton threw a 13-yard TD pass to Brandon Lloyd in the fourth quarter.
- Denver WR Demaryius Thomas left with a sprained ankle and LB D.J. Williams had a concussion.
- San Diego RG Louis Vasquez left with a stinger and Floyd left in the second half after his hamstring tightened up.

Definition of tautonym in English:
nounBotany & Zoology
1A scientific name in which the same word is used for both genus and species, for example Vulpes vulpes (the red fox).
Example sentences
- In an attempt to gain acceptance for the use of duplicate binomials, MacMillan proposed the tautonym A. apios.
- Bird names in which the genus and species are identical except for capitalisation are apparently called tautonyms.
- There are 82 species of birds whose scientific names are tautonyms - that is, birds for which the two parts of the scientific name are the same.
1.1 Linguistics A word that designates different objects or concepts in different dialects (e.g., corn is wheat in England and oats in Scotland).
Example sentences
- The name spinner both in Polish and in all its dialects occurs among numerous tautonyms or synonyms present in Polish or other Slavonic languages.
- Example sentences
- Instead we should look to Speusippus' analysis of tautonymy and heteronymy and bypass eponymy altogether.
- Castor fiber Linnaeus, 1758 is therefore the type species of Castor by Linnaean tautonymy.

A new bus service will soon link Schuyler County with the recently opened Corning Transportation Center, Schuyler County Administrator Tim O'Hearn announced Tuesday.
Beginning Jan. 20, Schuyler County Transit will offer weekday service, with two morning bus runs that pick up at Tops in Watkins Glen and the Human Services Complex in Montour Falls and take passengers to the Corning Transportation Center, located on Denison Parkway in downtown Corning.
The new service will enable riders to get on buses operated by the Corning-Erwin Area Transit System (CEATS) and C TRAN (formerly Chemung Transit) to go to Corning Community College and other stops made by those services.
There will also be two bus runs from the Corning Transportation Center back to Schuyler County in the afternoon, dropping off riders in Watkins Glen and Montour Falls.
The fare will be $2 per boarding, according to O'Hearn. Beginning Feb. 1, a monthly pass will be available for $50, which will include the bus runs between Corning and Schuyler County, as well as the CEATS and C TRAN routes to Corning Community College.
For schedules and other information, go to www.schuylercountytransit.org or call 535-3555.
The new bus service, dubbed "Corning Connections," was made possible because the Arc of Schuyler opened its transit services for people with disabilities to the general public, according to O'Hearn.

Skip to comments.Allegory of the Cave of the Mama Grizzly
Posted on 01/23/2011 7:53:42 AM PST by Bigtigermike
It was my online friend narciso, the pen name of a brilliant commenter on the day's events, who first summed up this week's folderol over Sarah Palin. "One is struck," he noted, " by how much Plato's 'Tale of the Cave' seems to fit this paradigm ... Those that only follow the networks, or the Times or USA Today, even, are always 'unexpectedly surprised,' when reality doesn't match the paradigm they've assimilated by osmosis."
There was a lot of sage stuff online trying to explain what happened and why to Sarah Palin this week, and although I'll mention some of the best analysis I found, my own belief is that the vicious treatment of her stems as much as anything from the discordant feelings she inspires as she takes media prisoners out of their mental cave and into the bright sun and exposes the puppeteers as fools and knaves.
.....In my view, the media tarring of Sarah Palin respecting the Tucson tragedy is an event which -- perhaps not this week, but soon enough -- will be remembered for having exposed the political class and cultural elites as the puppeteers projecting their own ignorance and violent hatred of Sarah onto her. Those who uncritically followed the media will come to see that they have spent too much time in the cave and need to get out into the sunshine and face some realities.
(Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
I think others at first will hate Palin for taking them into the blinding light, but that with time and more media stunts like last week's, they and the Times and USA readers, the present consumers of the medias' distortions, will get some glimpses of life outside the cave and come to realize the distinction between truth and reality on one hand and projected lies and make-believe on the other.
This is GOOD!
It won't be pretty but there are many on both sides who need to be exposed for what they are.
Clarice hits it out of the park! Thanks for the ping.
Fairly decent analysis. Rather a compilation or summary of two years of observation by thousands of people over the Internet and various other easily accessed media.
Actually most of FR figured most of these points out some time ago..and many on the left and those who would do a fair assessment or have a fair bone about them have realized most of these points. I argued very similar ideas myself, even during the '08 campaign.
The problem is..why are thinking and fair-minded people still not on her side? The odd "poof" hair doesn't explain it but it should have been corrected...but most people can look passed it, except maybe the young people who think she is more of a mother figure trying to rip off a younger person hairstyle..a seemingly weird taboo or right of youth I suppose. But the young have a problem voting conservative by nature so that doesn't sum the problem up.
It seems the underlying unspoken force against her is very basic, namely her poor speech rhythm..which she has never corrected. It makes it impossible to overcome the propaganda that she is "stupid" when people tune out after a few of her odd, hard to understand sentences. People are giving up.
Good God. Please.... tell me you're joking. Please make it known that this is offered in humor, and not a supposedly serious thought rolling around in what is supposed to be your brain.
Please... I'm begging...
It's her speech pattern? Haha!
Well then, that so called problem was not there when she gave her video response, that why's the pollsters never asked the respondents of any network polls if they actually seen the entire video response which was very Presidential and a praise on American Exceptionalism, media curves which is an liberal focus group company played that video to a mixed group of people and she got high praise......the liberals and the MSM are indeed living in their own cave
The problem with Palin is that she is joyous, profoundly competent and summarily rejects every tenet of elitist's false doctrines. She laughs and scoffs at their inanities. She is, above all, eminently believable.
Ineluctible does, indeed, best describe Sarah Palin.
Joan who saved France is akin to what Sarah is trying to do; Save the United States.
Hopefully, with respects to their safety, may Sarah live to a ripe, old age of 100+!!
Lord, I hope not! Look what happened to Joan!
I consider Sarah to be America's answer to Margaret Thatcher.
Lord, I hope not! Look what happened to Joan!
You did read my last sentence, didn't you?
Hopefully Sarah lives to a 100+
But just like Joan who was attacked by the Catholic leaders, Sarah is attacked by America's ruling elite.
Pray for Sarah!
Excellent article by the great Clarice Feldman. I think her allegory is so, so true particularly the ending when the Palin haters, especially women who hate her, come face to face with WHY they hate her. I think in 1980 there was a much softer, but real, hatred for Reagan that really did not dissipate materially until after the debate with Carter when the American people saw with their own eyes that Reagan was not what the media had portrayed him.
Sarah has the same opportunity, indeed a greater one. She has been savaged by the media/leftists more than Reagan, but the media has even less credibility than it had in 1980. So, when the epiphany comes, and the scales fall from the eyes of those who hate her, or should I say "think they hate her", the political dam break will be far more cataclysmic than it was in the Carter-Reagan election. This is why I have often predicted not a close election in 2012 but a landslide victory for Palin. The media has, in effect, bitten its tail with this extended "two minutes of hate" directed at Palin. Only with Herculean efforts has the leftist-media axis been able to temporarily tamp down her approval, but the effect is only temporary, unless, they hope, she declines to run as a result of their full bore assault. The effort is risky as well, because it has cost the media dearly in precious credibility it will need for the general election. Attacks on Palin during the general election, which would have been more effective if deployed closer to the election, will prove useless at that point, since they will have already fired all their ordinance—such as it is—at her. If she runs, the media's early blitzkrieg strategy will have failed.
When the cap is off the rumbling well, so to speak, and Sarah Palin's decency, vision and love for this country begins to extrude from the media vice, the resulting groundswell of support will generate an electoral geyser the likes of which we have not seen since 1980.
I know! She needs some more ummms, and uhhhhs, and I-I-I's in her speeches.
The real reason why so many people think she's stupid is because most people believe what they're told over and over again.
In fact most who think she's stupid are not that bright themselves. It makes them feel better about themselves to be able to laugh at someone 'stupid' like her.
As I have said before, Sarah is the Scapegoat. The liberals project their own sins on her and then try to banish her to the wilderness so they won't have to repent and face their black souls.
Excellent article! His Allegory of the Cave theme could also apply to those who blindly follow the "intellectual elites" and/or the "inside the beltway elites". I have to give much credit to Sarah Palin for dragging me into the light so I can see how ineffectual those inside the beltway conservatives have become. The ones who have been there so long they can only operate within the existing paradigm. It'll take a paradigm shift of new and bold thinking going to Washington DC to straighten out the mess the "puppeteers" have created. Sarah Palin is my choice to lead this effort.
You're more thick-headed than the media goons!
Earthdweller is a common Concern Troll.
When the mind of an ardent opponent is changed, he becomes an ardent supporter. When the truth about Sarah Palin is revealed to people in a campaign, there will be a tsunami of support heading her way.
Actually, many of them haven't figured it out yet. Those freepers are still sitting in the dark and watching the puppeteers. When they finally move into the sunlight, they won't buy into the "inside the beltway" conservative elitism.
I haven't seen you offer any solutions for her failing numbers.
I'm a realist..not an emotional cheerleader. If Sarah could win, I would be the happiest person on the planet. Right now..solutions need to be gathered and implemented. I just do not understand why no one has been coaching her. John McCain's back stabbing staff still advising her or what?
Is it your job just to blow smoke up her behind no matter how poorly she does and then just watch her crash and burn when there may have been an easy solution?
That kind of thing works for high school popularity contests.
There is a slight chance she can overcome the propaganda put out there that she is stupid..and it's not going to happen cause some pajama ninja screams from the top of their lungs and turns blue. She has to make it happen.
Start working to come up with positive solutions, help her improve her presentation or you can put your pom pons down and go home.
She has no failing numbers.
What are you smoking?
She controls the debate. The president and the media are forced to respond to all that she says.
That is what I thought..you don't want to help her...I'm done. Have a nice day.
I wish you and all that are like you were done; America would be a better place.
I put those numbers in the trash with the numbers that now say Americans do not want to repeal the health care takeover and the numbers that say 0zero is a civil leader. They are in there with the numbers that said the military will embrace homosexual sex and the numbers that suggested California's Proposition 8 would never pass and the numbers that claim climate change is man made and on and on and on...
I left the cave LONG AGO -join me, the sunshine is blinding at first BUT you get used to it...
Her failing numbers?
You mean those same failing numbers that will be
such a surprise to the pundits when they see
the vast numbers of her supporters rally around
and unexpectedly drive hundreds of miles to show
their support?
My gosh, where did THEY come from???
Bingo! Sarah projects truth and values - "she's beautiful, powerful, and the center of a large family -- and most of them are not" . . Liberals live with denial and defense mechanisms. Sarah is the perfect denial and projection, displacement, rationalization, envy focus for their venom. They would do well to confront their denial and do some cave searching. . .
I feel your pain. Many feel she should work on her 'style'. Given. What gives me hope is that none have attacked her 'substance'. The wave of support Sarah will receive will cause those with doubts (about her style- stupid) to dissipate.
We're witnessing the re-election campaign of the worst President in our country's history. As much as I'd like to see efforts to market Sarah, I'd much rather see efforts to expose the Kenyan marxist and his plan to destroy capitalism in America while replacing it with government central planning.
The story of the Comeback Kid will not be written about Obama, but Sarah. She's been attacked and vilified for things she hasn't even done, non-stop by the media. America will hear her story and it will resonate with the millions who have had to deal with adversity in their lives. BabyDoc Obama's story will not hold water. He's toast. Just another in a failed attempt to socialize the greatest nation on earth.
Good article, thanks.
Because she doesn't need coaching, especially by RINO professionals, huckleberry.
The worst thing you can do for someone that you want to succeed is tell them everything they do is perfect..if you do that, you are no true friend at all.
Well, I'm sorry that you have such trouble understanding plain old Middle Class American English, and would rather that she change by adopting a phony Harvard speech pattern.
Seems like every Tom, Dick, and Harry full of free advice wants HER to change superficially rather than listen to the gist of what she's saying.
The bottom line is that people like you would have problems with how Abraham Lincoln spoke if he were alive and involved in politics today.
It's beyond tragic.
And for your info..I have had a problem with my own speech patterns my entire life and I frequently work with people who have disabilites ..so I know exactly what it can do to you and how people react to it.
Her problem is mild but pronounced and can easily be corrected. But if she doesn't fix it..I give her zero chance of winning.
"When the mind of an ardent opponent is changed, he becomes an ardent supporter. When the truth about Sarah Palin is revealed to people in a campaign, there will be a tsunami of support heading her way."
A Road to Damascus conversion tends to take the zealot and turn him in the opposite direction. Not just with St. Paul. Whittaker Chambers is another example that come to mind.
You might call it the Whiplash effect.

Previous Colloquium Talks
Spring 2015
Date 5-15-2015 (2pm-3pm, F03-200A), Mark Dunster, CSUSD
Title: Old and New Approximations for Bessel Functions
Abstract: Bessel functions are functions of two variables, an argument and parameter (the so-called order). They satisfy a second order linear differential equation, and also can be defined explicitly by integral representations. They are arguably the most important of the special functions, and arise naturally in a multitude of physical and mathematical applications, including heat conduction, electrostatics, scalar and electromagnetic scattering, and hydrodynamics. Here we discuss uniform asymptotic approximations involving the simpler Airy functions, which themselves are well known and important special functions. We present some classical approximations for Bessel functions, as well as some new ones for their order derivatives. The talk is accessible to upper division and graduate students having knowledge of elementary differential equations.
Date 4-24-2015 (1:30pm-2:30pm, F03-200A), Heidi Furlong and Leslie Rodriguez, CSULB
Title:Alternating Volume, a Hyperbolic Invariant of Knots
Abstract: A knot is a loop in three-dimensional space. Alternating knots are a class of knots with useful geometric properties. Using methods originally due to Blair, we define the alternating volume of a knot to be the volume of an alternating link representation of that knot. We then extend results due to Lackenby to relate the alternating volume of a knot to the twist number of a knot.
Date 4-17-2015 (12pm-1pm, F03-200A), Dr. Charis Tsikkou, West Virginia University
Title:Analysis of 2+1 Diffusive-Dispersive PDE Arising in River Braiding
Abstract: In the context of a weakly nonlinear study of bar instabilities in a river carrying sediment carrying, P. Hall introduced an evolution equation for the deposited depth which is dispersive in one spatial direction, while being diffusive in the other. In this talk, we present local existence and uniqueness results using a contraction mapping argument in a Bourgain-type space. We also show that the energy and cumulative dissipation are globally controlled in time. This is joint work with Saleh Tanveer.
Date 3-27-2015 (12pm-1pm, F03-200A), Michaela (Puck) Rombach, UCLA
Title: Graph Representatives of Positroid Strata
Abstract: This talk will be very accessible (including to grad students) and will involve juggling. The positroid stratification, studied by many authors, is a coarsening of the matroid stratification of the Grassmannian. Each graph (with orientation and edge-ordering) gives a point in the Grassmannian; for a matroid stratum to contain such a point is a well-known forbidden minor condition on the matroid. We show that, by contrast, every positroid stratum contains a graphical representative; indeed, one can choose the graph to be planar. This is despite the fact that the matroid stratum dense in the positroid stratum does not typically contain such a representative ("positroids are not graphic matroids"). Joint work with Allen Knutson.
Date 3-13-2015 (12pm-1pm, F03-200A), Shiwen Zhang, Graduate Student, UCI
Title: Can one hear the shape of a drum?---An Introduction to spectral theory in math physics
Abstract: Mark Kac raised such a problem in an article in 1966. The mathematical concept behind this problem is spectrum. Spectrum is one of many examples how physics and mathematics are so closely related. In mathematics, spectrum has been developed into deep and wide concept which is very important in several branches. The study of spectrum indeed comes from the analysis of "detectable energy level" in physics, which could be viewed as a generalization of eigenvalue problem of finite dimensional matrix. This talk intends to give a brief introduction to spectral theory towards high grade undergraduate students as well as early graduate students who are interested in math physics and related topics. I would like to introduce the rough concepts of operator and spectrum, discuss what kind of problems we are interested in spectral theory and their relation to other branches. Then I'd like to talk about the spectrum of one kind of discrete Schrodinger operator.
Date 3-6-2015 (12pm-1pm, F03-200A), Dr. Scott McCalla, Montana State University
Title: Crimes with Undergraduates
Abstract:In this talk, I will discuss two undergraduate research projects on modeling crime. The first part of the talk will concentrate on extending a model for burglary hotspot formation. Most animals, including humans, are known to make large changes in area when foraging for resources. Our extension assumes criminals will do the same when looking for possible targets to burgle. The second part will concentrate on understanding seasonal variations in crime rates. Many law enforcement personal believe simple statements like "when the temperature heats up, so does my job". We examine this ideology by extracting seasonal variations in crime rates from noisy data in the Los Angeles and Houston metropolitan areas, and then modeling this data with a stochastic differential equation.
Date 2-27-2015 (12pm-1pm, F03-200A), Paul Fish, Wolfram Technologies in Education and Research
Title: Mathematica 10 & Wolfram Alpha Pro
Abstract:This talk illustrates capabilities in Mathematica 10 and other Wolfram technologies that are directly applicable for use in teaching and research on campus.
Date 2-20-2015 (2:30pm-3:30pm, F03-200A), Casey Kelleher, UCI
Title: The Differential Geometry of the Maxwell Equations
Abstract:The Maxwell equations are a family of partial differential equations which describe the interactions of electric and magnetic fields and constitute the foundations of electromagnetic theory. While students often are introduced to this family in the physics classroom setting, these equations are seldom seen in a predominately geometric light. Approaching the Maxwell equations from this perspective is an ideal way to lay down and bolster an understanding of foundational Riemannian geometric topics, (e.g. vector fields, connections, curvature). I will both explore this viewpoint while emphasizing the underlying physical intuition.
Fall 2014
Date 12-5-2014 (12pm-1pm, F03-200A), Dr. Konstantina Trivisa, University of Maryland
Title: A Nonlinear Model for Tumor Growth: Global in time weak solutions
Abstract:We investigate the dynamics of a class of tumor growth models known as mixed models. The key characteristic of these type of tumor growth models is that the different populations of cells are continuously present everywhere in the tumor at all times. In this work we focus on the evolution of tumor growth in the presence of proliferating, quiescent and extra cellular cells as well as a nutrient. The system is given by a multi-phase flow model and the tumor is described as a growing continuum such as both the domain as well as its boundary evolve in time. Global-in-time weak solutions are obtained using an approach based on penalization of the boundary behavior, diffusion and viscosity in the weak formulation.
Date 11-14-2014 (12pm-1pm, F03-200A), Dr. Scott Crass, CSULB
Title: Dynamics of a soccer ball
Abstract: Exploiting the symmetry of the regular icosahedron, Peter Doyle and Curt McMullen constructed a solution to the quintic equation. Their algorithm relied on the dynamics of a certain icosahedrally-symmetric map for which one of the icosahedron's special orbits consists of superattracting periodic points. In this talk, we'll consider the question of whether there are maps with icosahedral symmetry with superattracting periodic points at a 60-point orbit. The investigation leads to the discovery of two maps whose superattracting sets are configurations of points that are respectively related to a soccer ball and a companion structure. It happens that a generic 60-point attractor provides for the extraction of all five of a quintic's roots.
Date 11-7-2014 (12pm-1pm, F03-200A), Dr. Mehrdad Aliasgari, CSULB
Title: Secure Computation and its Applications
Abstract: Cryptography is often described as the science of securing information in transit. However, with recent developments in computing, there is a need to provide data security in new settings. Cloud storage and cloud computing are examples of new security challenges. Secure Multiparty Computation (SMC) is when parties wish to jointly compute a function on their private input while maintaining privacy of their inputs. In this talk, we focus on cryptographic techniques that enable us to achieve security in SMC and we discuss some of their applications.
Date 10-17-2014 (12pm-1pm, F03-200A), Dr. Diane Hoffoss, University of San Diego
Title: How Wide is a 3-Manifold?
Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss some interesting ways to define the width of a 3-manifold, and we'll consider what relationships (if any!) these various definitions might have with one another.
Date 10-10-2014 (11:15am-12:15pm, F03-200A), Dr. Dominique Zosso, UCLA
Title: Variational image segmentation with dynamic artifact detection and bias correction
Abstract: Region-based image segmentation has essentially been solved by the famous Chan-Vese model. However, this model fails when images are affected by artifacts (scars, scratches, outliers) and illumination bias that outweigh the actual image contrast. Here, we introduce a new model for segmenting such damaged images: First, we introduce a dynamic artifact class X which prevents intensity outliers from skewing the segmentation. Second, in Retinex-fashion, we decompose the image into a flattened piecewise-constant structural, and a smooth bias part, I=B+S. The CV-segmentation terms are then only acting on the structure part, and only in regions not identified as artifact. We devise an efficient alternate direction minimization scheme involving averaging for S, thresholding for X, time-split MBO-like threshold dynamics for the perimeter TV-term, and spectral solutions for the bias B.
Date 10-3-2014 (12noon-1pm, F03-200A), Dr. Blake Hunter, Claremont McKenna College
Title: Topic Point Processes
Abstract: The widespread use of social media has created a need for automated extraction of useful information making detection of trends. This is essential to gain knowledge from the vastly diverse massive volume of data. This talk explores topic modeling and self-exciting time series models applied to social media microblog data. We use topic modeling and compressed sensing to discover prevalent topics and latent thematic word associations with in topics. Modeling tweet topics over time as temporal or spatial-temporal Hawkes process allows identification of self-exciting topics and reveals relationships between topics. This talk looks at applications to Twitter microblogs, text mining, image processing and content based search.
Date 9-26-2014 (3pm-4pm, F03-200A), Dr. Matt Rathbun, CSUF
Title: Knots, Fiber Surfaces, and the Building Blocks of Life
Abstract: DNA encodes the instructions used in the development and functioning of all living organisms. The DNA molecule, however, often becomes knotted, linked, and generally entangled during normal biological processes like replication and recombination. The subject of Knot Theory, correspondingly, can inform our understanding of these processes. I will introduce Knot Theory, and some of the myriad of tools that mathematicians use to understand knots and links. In particular, I will focus on a special class of link called fibered links. I will explain some recent results, joint with Dorothy Buck, Kai Ishihara, and Koya Shimokawa, about transformations from one fibered link to another, and explain how these results are relevant to microbiology.
Date 9-19-2014 (12pm-1pm, F03-200A), Dr. Ryan Compton , HRL
Title: Geotagging One Hundred Million Twitter Accounts with Total Variation Minimization
Abstract: Geographically annotated social media is extremely valuable for modern information retrieval. However, when researchers can only access publicly-visible data, one quickly finds that social media users rarely publish location information. In this work, we provide a method which can geolocate the overwhelming majority of active Twitter users, independent of their location sharing preferences, using only publicly-visible Twitter data.
Our method infers an unknown user's location by examining their friend's locations. We frame the geotagging problem as an optimization over a social network with a total variation-based objective and provide a scalable and distributed algorithm for its solution. Furthermore, we show how a robust estimate of the geographic dispersion of each user's ego network can be used as a per-user accuracy measure, allowing us to discard poor location inferences and control the overall error of our approach.
Leave-many-out evaluation shows that our method is able to infer location for 101,846,236 Twitter users at a median error of 6.33 km, allowing us to geotag over 80% of public tweets.
Date 9-12-2014 (12pm-1pm, F03-200A), Professor Ko Honda, UCLA
Title: An invitation to Floer homology
Abstract: This is a gentle introduction to Floer homology. ``Floer homology'' is a generic term for various homology theories of knots, 3- and 4-dimensional manifolds (aka spaces), symplectic manifolds, contact manifolds, etc., and has had an enormous impact in geometry/topology since its introduction by Floer more than twenty years ago. In this talk we start with a baby version of this theory called Morse homology, which gives a way to distinguish topological spaces (e.g., a sphere from the surface of a donut). We then build our way up to more recent theories such as contact homology and embedded contact homology.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I purchased a brand new Dell Studio XPS 435T (~$3100) on July 15, 2009 and received it on July 20, 2009. Like a little kid at Christmas, I take the toy that I custom built out of the box and plug it in. Well, apparently, Dell sent me a huge lump of coal-Well, actually, that's all they have ever sent me.
During it's first boot, it took only five minutes until I saw my first blue screen of death (processor, video, and hard drive errors) and it wouldn't do anything past getting, barely, to the desktop. I guess Dell is trying to beat its less than stellar quality rating...ZERO
When I contacted Dell, they routed me to technical support. Of course Dell Technical Support wants to run two full days worth of diagnostics on a brand new computer, a computer that has never been used and should have been exchanged, and then send a tech out with a motherboard. Unfortunately, they make getting a replacement system more trouble than its worth: First, you have to cancel your order and get a CRA number; Second, you have to return the product at your expense (my shipping was free, so I feel that it should be free to go back); and then reorder (after all that, are you kidding?-if you like pain and decide to reorder, better make sure that you get a better deal than the one you got before to make up for the unnecessary hassle).
I see no reason why they can't just send me a replacement system tower and have me send the non-functional tower back in the box that they ship the new tower in-They did it before when they replaced the Inspiron E1505 with the Inspiron 1520 - COME ON!!!! I have been buying Dell since 1998.
I know the general public has to be wondering why I keep doing it. Lately, I have been asking myself the same question. At one time quality and customer relations were important to Michael Dell; however, now it's all about money and that's that. I don't complain that much, really, because I am pretty well-adjusted to the fact that everything I buy today is crappily made. It's just that I have had problems with EVERY Dell laptop and, for the first time, a Dell desktop. I guess it's just too much to ask for anything to work longer than five minutes these days. These problems I have are supposedly "rare" according to the Dell Reps I have talked to. How rare are they, really?
Dear DELL,
I want a system exchange done in old RMA fashion. That's the least you could do. If you did that and it arrived in great shape and functional-meeting my minimal expectations, I would be happy. Don't make this a hassle, that's all our relationship has ever been is a hassle. Dell Reps have mentioned that they don't want to loose a longtime schmuck like me, so if you want me to keep throwing money at you to help you pay for your mansions, your mansions, your lavish vacations, and your philanthropic efforts, then please fulfill my reasonable request for a SYSTEM EXCHANGE

It took about 21 days just to get the replacement computer. The replacement computer arrived in the same dysfunctional state that the original system arrived. I called them and asked for a refund and, finally, an India-based rep promised that I would get a refund if I bought another computer of equal or greater value. Well, they sent UPS to pick up the replacement computer before anyone sent a shipping label for the first system. Both the original and the replacement systems were picked up on the same day and arrived at Dell on the same day. After another 1 1/2 months of pestering them, the refund finally got posted and as soon as it posted....I get a call from a leech at one of the India-based call centers. An advance resolution expert, as her title states (ha, not really), called and offered $600 off of my cart as approved by her because I had such a hard time with Dell. I reconfigured my cart and expected to be offered the same $600 off of my cart as offered before; however, she offered $300 off my cart. Then, she said she talked to her manager and said that no discounts will be issued. Well, so basically she wasn't going to give any discounts off the cart in the first place-That's called fraud. So, the rep, the manager, and her associates are essentially criminals. Dell is comprised of corrupt criminals and I highly advise everyone not to purchase any products sold by Dell (Perot systems, Alienware, and anything else they are poisoning). See the proof by searching about how dell was sued for $4 million dollars by the NY State Attorney General...I believe also in California by their Attorney General. I highly encourage each state to pursue the same type of lawsuit because I am certain that everyone in all states have been a victim of Dell and its fraudulent business practices.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Hi everyone,
Since many hours, I try to figure it out, but nothing works.
I don't have problem in using endpoints in the menu (My account, Change address, Deconnect, edit account).
But since the update 2.1.1 the link "view" ( order details) and "edit" (change my address) redirect on the page "my account".
Does anyone know what is the solution ?
Thanks in advance everyone,

Tuning in with Hobbit, Nagios, and monit
Open source tools such as Hobbit, Nagios, and monit provide system monitoring for large or small networks.
If you look after more than one computer, eventually you'll realize you could benefit from some form of automatic monitoring – certainly after someone surprises you with the announcement that a system you are responsible for just crashed. In addition to reducing the response time for a downed system, system monitoring can also help you identify problems in advance – before the situation becomes an emergency. Even if you only have one computer, advanced notification that your disks are getting full or that sshd is down can save considerable time and stress.
If you have a specific service or situation you want to monitor, you could, of course, brew your own custom monitoring script and trigger it with cron. However, you really do not need to go reinventing wheels when several open source applications will handle the job for you. In this article, I look at three of the main contenders – Hobbit, Nagios, and monit. All are open source and freely available. All have good points and limitations. The ideal solution depends on your network, your experience, and your needs.

I have been going back and forth with Shawn O'Neill, asking what specific risk I was insuring against, since it was only a computer program installed on my personal computer, and I did pay Leum Software 6 months in advance for technical support and updates.
They explained since I did not own the equipment, I had to insure it against loss, like fire or theft. As I see it the program installed on my computer, would mean I would have to suffer loss of said computer. I argued the program could be restored to its original capacity simply by contacting Leum Software, and having them reinstall on another computer.
I also mentioned I do not think you can consider a computer program equipment, since it only enhances the capabilities of my computer. Bottom line is they did not fully disclose the additional costs required, and 3 weeks later are trying to tack on this additional cost. I would definitely not do business with Marlin leasing, and be sure you know the company before you agree to anything.

The first time i went in i asked ios there any more fess other then the registration and one course fee she said no. aT LEAST I WAS ONLY TAKEN FOR $250 AND theres no way there getting the next $200 then after that shell prob say another $200. Also what strikes me as odd is they dont take credit cards or filled in money orders, only blank money orders or checks. If i am already a NY State security guard why do i have to pay another $600 just to work. Can someone explain this to me no one else will get ripped off.

i went to this company and i got a very good service from them, they always explain everything that i needed to do and for what i was paying for. i pay for my basic training and did my fire guard prep, after they send me to do my finger prints to l1 enrollement and then complete the application for the license. it toke me about 3 weeks to get my license. also i complete my fire guard license at the fire department in 9 metro tech. everytime i call the secretary was very polite and everyone in the office treat me with respect. while i was there i saw some people that had a negative attitude, but those people were not acepted by the company. everyone knows that in order for you to get a job or training you have to have a positive attitude and follow their guidance. for me it work and also for my classmates that finish training with me. thanks to ultimate security now im working in madison sec getting $12 per hour.

Hi everyone.
I am having a strange problem (or maybe I'm missing something myself). I created some pages on my WordPress blog by ripping the WordPress Index Page code and allowing only posts from a particular category to show on those pages by using this code:
<?php query_posts('cat=6'); // exclude the first category ?>
I saved the code as a new page template and made my pages follow it's respective template.
The problem is that the posts come up without any hassle BUT there is no option to allow posting of comments. However, when I view the same posts through the archives page, the comment section comes up. Have I left out some pirec of code or something that needs to be put in there? I've already tried putting in "<?php get_comments();>" but to no avail.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Waikoloa Villas is known for it's well built construction. The atmosphere, close proximity to beaches, shopping, and the view is great too!
The view on the 9th fairway overlooking awesome sunsets, cool, comfortable breezes and it's quiet!
New decor is so fun!! Beautiful place
This was a perfect place to stay for the week we stayed in Hawaii. The pictures did not do justice. Everything was clean and comfortable. The turkeys were a real morning treat to our son every morning. The breeze and peacefulness at night we're beyond relaxing.
This was a pleasant, comfortable and very reasonably priced condo. Would definitely stay there again.
I have stayed at this property a number of years and have always enjoyed it. More so this year, as the owner did a number of significant upgrades. It is a prime unit in a great location and I appreciate having access to it year after year. I particularly like having a local manager I can call if there are any issues. Once again a great stay in a great location.
We loved the location of this unit and would rent again if the place was cleaned much better and had a newer more comfortable King bed to sleep in. You could hear and feel the springs when you moved on the bed. When we arrived the first thing we saw was a dirty entry area outide the front door; including bird droppings. We had to clean it ourselves immediately so as not to bring that into the house. The tile floors inside were not mopped well enough and dirt got all over our socks, especially in the kitchen where you could visually see the dirt embedded in the floor. We had to mop it ourselves immediately and lots of brown dirt came up on the towels. A request by the owner was to remove your shoes at the front door... but then our feet or socks got dirty from the floors! There was dirt build-up in many of the door mouldings and along the baseboard corners and the back windows from the waikoblowa dirt winds. A deep cleaning periodically and some new paint is needed in a few areas. The worst of all was the shower where it looked like the sliding door tracks had not been cleaned of dirt and scum in at least a year. It was gross. Too bad as A206 has one of the very best locations in the complex. There were no garbage bags for us and we ran out of toilet paper. There were only two of us. The plastic cups (for the pool) need replacing by something newer. Some of the other dishes were fine. Every fry pan in the cupboard was still coated with alot of grease from the last renter and we had to wash them before we could use them. Cleaners should check for this! We felt ripped off for having to pay the cleaning fee. Even the outdoor lanai carpeting was stained and dirty, ready for the carpet cleaners to attend to. There were plenty of linens, good selection of beach toys etc. Wish we had a lounge chair on the large lanai to kick back on. Most neighbors are really nice and courteous as a whole. The unit was quiet and private and had a great peaceful view. Sofas were comfortable but overall decor a bit beige/ boring, modge podge in style and a bit on the thrifty side. Felt like a rental. Very nice complex. Would definitely stay at Waikoloa villas again but will look for a different unit until owner advertises some updates and can promise a better cleaning job from his hired help.
My tenth time on the Big Island, and my first time staying up in Waikoloa Village in the mountains above Waikoloa Beach. It's only about 15 minutes from the Queen and King Shopping Center.mi was going to use my military pass to stay at the Paniolo Greens, but this place was a better deal, and my mother said the roaches at Paniolo were huge and plentiful. Granted, Paniolo has A/C and this condo doesn't, but everyone just sets up a cross breeze by opening the sliding door and front bedroom window and putting the fans on. Only saw one tiny bug. And was most impressed by the cleanliness of the condo when I entered... As well as the stunning view. On clear 'vogless' days, you can see all the way to the blue, blue ocean. The microwave has been manhandled by previous guests but otherwise, the furnishings are top notch. The grocery store is a little over a half mile away. Do yourselves a favor and eat at Lava Java just nearby. Great chicken pesto sandwiches! This condo has everything you need... I was provided with coffee for the first couple days, plus coffee filters for the entire stay, some soap cubes for the dishwasher ... and the clothes washing machine... paper towels, every kind of dish/pan imaginable, and a hair dryer downstairs and Kleenex upstairs. Just bring your own shampoo, and a couple of dryer sheets for drying your clothes without static, and you are all set! Oh, and the pool closest to this condo seems to be the larger and nicer one. I would stay here again! Thanks so much!

Radio jockey-turned-actor Shiva married his girlfriend today (November 15) in Chennai. The wedding is being attended by Ajith Kumar with his wife Shalini, Vaibhav Reddy, actress Kushboo with her husband Sundar C and his other friends from the Tamil film industry.
The couple entered wedlock as per the Hindu customs earlier today. Shiva's close friend Vaibhav Reddy came a bit early to the venue and kept updating the proceedings of the marriage on his Twitter account. He also posted a few pictures of the wedding.
The bride, Priya is a Chennai-based girl, who is working in a Germany-based company. It is also noted that Priya is a badminton player, who is also a state level badminton doubles partner for Shalini Ajith.

My Mom, Henry and I planted our garden last week.
I'm curious how Henry will react when he sees the first seedlings of peas.
Or when the pumpkins are large enough to carve!
And when we can make cucumber salad with fresh, from the garden, cucumbers.
The experience ofgrowing a garden to a preschooler has lots of possibilities.
Getting the kids involved with gardening gets them involved in their eating, too!
Kitchen Counter Chronicles shared their step by step tips
on how to plant a garden with your kids on It's Playtime! last week.
Alongside the experience of the garden itself,
you could create a scarecrow for your garden, or play in the dirt for a day.
Or after the harvest has grown, make prints with vegetables or create food faces!
These are all ways for preschoolers to play while learning how their garden grows.
There's so much to learn from our playmates during our weekly Playtime, isn't there?
