Aeroportuario del Pacifico Advances on Ruling: Mexico City Mover
Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacifico SAB, Mexico's biggest publicly traded airport operator, climbed the most since August after saying a court ruling bolstered efforts to stop Grupo Mexico SAB from buying more of its shares.
Shares of the Guadalajara, Mexico-based company rose 1.9 percent to 49.05 pesos, the biggest advance since Aug. 29. The benchmark IPC index of Mexican companies fell 0.1 percent.
The company said a ruling by a Mexican federal court was "in favor" of its efforts to stop Grupo Mexico SAB, a Mexico City-based mining and transportation company, from boosting its holdings of the airport operator. The airport operator says Grupo Mexico's purchase of its shares through the open market is in violation of its bylaws that limit holdings by outside companies, while Grupo Mexico has said the purchases are legal and denied it's aiming for a takeover.
A lack of clarity about whether Grupo Mexico will seek control of the airport operator has been a drag on Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacifico shares, said Elizandra Cardoso Azcoitia, an analyst with Grupo Financiero Interacciones.
The court ruling "could have been taken as an excuse to push the price up," she said from Mexico City.
Grupo Mexico fell 0.1 percent in Mexico City. Company spokesman Juan Rebolledo declined to comment, saying lawyers were reviewing the case.

Orchard Park
The New Year's Eve ball drop is being reinstated in Orchard Park – in duplicate.
The drop will take place at midnight in the middle of North Buffalo Road. Two balls will be dropped from a crane, one angling toward Princeton Place, the other toward the four corners. Activities will take place from 10 p.m. Dec. 31 to 1 a.m. Jan. 1, and North Buffalo Road will be closed from Quaker Street (Route 20A) at the four corners to Princeton.
Orchard Park used to drop a ball from the water tower toward School Street from 1982 through 2002.
Also, a proposal by the Town Board that would require all but elected officials and a few appointed staff to clock in at the beginning and end of a shift with an electronic time keeping program has been put off. The board was to have had a public hearing last Wednesday on the policy it was planning to add to the town code, but adjourned the hearing without seeing if there were any speakers. Supervisor Janis Colarusso said she is still talking with the town's labor attorney about the wording of the proposed law.
Also coming up:
• The Town Board will meet in executive session at 5 p.m. Thursday in the supervisor's conference room in the municipal building, 4295 S. Buffalo St., to interview candidates for interim police chief. Chief Andrew Benz is retiring Jan. 3.
• The Town Board will conduct a work session at 5:15 p.m. Jan. 2 in the supervisor's conference room. The annual reorganization meeting will start at 6 p.m. in the board room, followed by a regular meeting.
• Orchard Park Youth Court will conduct two informational meetings for prospective members from 12 to 19 years old. Meetings will take place at 10 a.m. Jan. 5 and 12 for youths. They must attend with their parent or guardian.

Candles and Spits at Aston Hall - The Fireplace
The Fireplace is in the kitchen at Aston Hall. In Sir Thomas Holte's time, Meat was cooked in front of a fire. It was cooked evenly by turning it around. Instead of using a kitchen boy to do this, a special machine called a turbine was fitted in the chimney. When the hot air from the fire rose up the chimney, it turned the turbine round which turned the spit.

About 10 years ago, Jean Deitrick joined the Williamsport YMCA and began participating in the wellness program.
"I originally started my weekly exercise regime by walking five times per week on the indoor track," said Deitrick, "and then I also joined the active older adult group exercise class and go to that three times a week."
The YMCA senior program helps older adults, ages 60 and over, seeking a venue for physical fitness and social interaction.
Deitrick, 81, was born and raised in Williamsport and resides in Loyalsock Township.
According to her, the YMCA helps provide the social and physical outlet many seniors need.
"The exercise class specifically targets the needs of active older adults working to increase their cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, coordination, and balance," she explained. "I have personally benefited from an increase in full body strengthening, but what I enjoy the most about coming to the Y is the camaraderie with my peers."
Each morning she wakes up at 5:30, eats breakfast and gets to the Y by 8.
"It's just the first thing I do in the morning," she said with a smile.
Deitrick said she has always been on the move and maintained an active lifestyle with her family. She lives alone and still is able to take care of all inside and outside household chores herself.
"Just recently while out of town I walked six miles sightseeing and never thought anything of the mileage," she said.
"I consider myself very fortunate to be 81 years old with no health issues. I just try to live each day to the fullest, one day at a time," she concluded.
The senior program at the YMCA is one of the 43 human service programs in Lycoming County funded by United Way. Through its annual funds distribution process determined by community volunteers, United Way allocated $12,000 to the YMCA for the senior programs this year based on community needs and program outcomes.
"When you're a part of the Y, you're part of a community that's committed to help you learn new things and make new friends in any stage of your life," explained Chad Eberhart, branch executive director, Williamsport Branch YMCA. "Our everyday mission is to help you achieve a balance of spirit, mind and body. We do that by encouraging good health and fostering connections with new and old friends through sports, fun and shared interests.
"Our senior programming is proven to increase participants feeling of wellness and improve their physical health," added Eberhart. "We appreciate the funding from United Way to help us provide the programs."
"The senior programs at the Y give people a place to enjoy social interaction that they may not normally have, as well as improve their physical fitness and overall quality of life," said Scott Lowery, executive director for Lycoming County United Way. "Jean's story gives credence to the importance of providing our seniors with both programs and facilities that can allow them to experience and enjoy a continuous active lifestyle. We are happy to have the Y as a program partner and be able to provide funding to support our seniors."

For 90 years, Asko Vuorinen's ancestors lived in a stately, red farmhouse atop the hill, 400 miles north of Helsinki, Finland, that they called Mulikka.
"The original house dated back to 1564, and it is said that nearly everyone from the area goes back to Antti Mulikka, who came there, far inland, and built the house," Vuorinen said.
In time, Vuorinen discovered that Antti Mulikka's great-grandson Eric was banished by the Swedish government to the colony of New Sweden, where he built a house similar to the original farmhouse. An amateur historian, Vuorinen researched the Mulikkas and, over the weekend, after a trip to Washington to deliver a talk to an engineering convention, went to see the "new" Mulikka house in the Gloucester County village that bears its name, Mullica Hill.

Mao seems a bit more consistent. I know she bombed a few times, but I honestly don't remember them to be so bad I had to close my eyes.
Mao seems a bit more consistent. I know she bombed a few times, but I honestly don't remember them to be so bad I had to close my eyes.
I think they will be evenly matched.
I see Akiko scoring 132-133 if skated to full potential together with a clean SP.
I see Ashley scoring 133-134 if skated to perfection!
I don't think Asada's 3F+3Lo will be ratified, but that's where lobbying matters. Anything can happen if Asada could win the NHK with four popped triples.
Last edited by mikeko666; 02-17-2013 at 09:57 AM.
I don't think no one in the current crop of lady skaters is quite pageant-worthy, except for a few outliers like Korpi. Yuna is also attractive but she is not quite the Venus de Milo either. The playing field is really quite even in terms of beauty. So, Akiko, for me, is plenty competitive in this sense. If Akiko keeps delivering electrifying performances as she is doing now, maybe the balance will tip in her favor.
Akiko has shown especially in 4CC that she has the command of a champion and a determination to win.
She is not just a showgirl on ice. She is an artist baring her soul and her life in those skates. She is one of my favourite skaters of all-time. Her musicality is simply beyond words.
For LP, when was the last time Caro hit a clean 6 triples program, let alone 7?? Its been years. She is still likely to popped and stepout and messy landing as much as other skaters.
Ergo, if Suzuki EVER went completely clean, she'd score 130+ which is more than Wagner could ever achieve IMO.
Problem is, I'm not sure Suzuki will ever have the mental strength to have two programs that are completely clean.
This is one of my favourite performances ever. I love it when Chris said, it was a ballerina's performance transposed on the ice!
However I agree that in terms of technical ability they are on par, but Akiko is way ahead in PC. Although as we can all agree Akiko has been underscored alot over the past season in PC so I hope she gets what she deserves at worlds. In my opinion though the highest she could place with the current ladies field is 4th.
I predict....
1. Yuna Kim
2. Mao Asada
3. Carolina Kostner
4. Akiko Suzuki
5. Elizaveta Tuktamisheva
6. Ashley Wagner
7. Kanako Murakami
8. Adelina Sotnikova
9. Kiira Korpi
10. Valentina Marchei
11. Gracie Gold
12. Zijun Li
13. Kaetlyn Osmond
Some I am not to sure about and I have then said who I want to place where. However it would be hilarious if this happened because no third ladies spot for US and no 2nd spot for Canada!
Spins should be "Ashley >>>>>>>> Akiko" Akiko's spins are beyond bad, and it's something her coaches are likely working on, though I haven't seen any improvement in them.
Steps I think they are about equal (however if the transitions in and out of their technical elements is to be factored in, in that case I would even give Wagner the edge...).
I still have no clue what Akiko's program is about, and TBH it seems a bit junior'ish. I like her rather youthful energy and her smile (so few ladies genuinely smile), but really I'm lost as to what the program is about. Really Ashley's programs are clearly superior to Akiko's in terms of performance quality, relatability, and choreography. I hear people say she's a real performer... What exactly is she performing. I hear something about a peacock. What is she, what's going on in the program. We get that from Ashley's program, and Mao Asada's. I'm totally lost with Akiko. It's like Gracie Gold with a bit better choreography/skating skills, but worse jumps.Skating Skills: Akiko > Ashley. She's fast, has deep edge, her steps are more difficult, and she covers the ice better.
PE, CH, IN: Akiko > Ashley. Akiko is a performer, and she always has interesting programs. Win these 3 categories easily unless she bombs.
TR: Ashley > Akiko. Ashley has more transitions.
Skating Skills they're about equal, Ashley has better transitions, Ashley executes things better than Akiko (better extension, etc.). Ashley seems to be more of a balanced skater, which is why she's able to do these things in and out of jumps and jump with less telegraphing compared to Akiko. Akiko is faster.
If both hit their programs the judges will place Ashley ahead of Akiko, and Ashley will beat her PCS score.Generally, if both skate cleanly, Akiko should be around 64+ for PCS, Ashley should be around 62+ for PCS.
GOE, Ashley should beat Akiko easily, should definitely make up for the PCS difference.
I personally believe they are about equal, whoever lands more triples should win. Ashley got too much benefit of the doubt where as Akiko got none, and I have a big problem with that.
Akiko really needs to fix her "form issues." It makes the whole program look rather messy. She just doesn't come across as a skater who has nice lines and extension, while Ashley does. The whole performance suffers because of it.
What I like about Suzuki is her youthful energy and her smile. She always seems like she's happy to be performing, and that's refreshing to see these days.
Akiko is one of the best artist and dancers in the sport. She may not have the full biellmann extensions to her spins, but her spins are very good and gets level 4's.
I appreciate an artist / musical skater taking risk by skating to music without a "mainstream" story and bringing the people through her journey of emotions through the song.
I don't think Akiko is a "messy" skater. I dislike one position in her camel spin but the rest of her program is beautiful!

The summary below is from the full report titled "Physical Abuse of Boys and Possible Associations with Poor Adult Outcomes." It is in the 18 October 2005 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 143, pages 581-586). The authors are W.C. Holmes and M.D. Sammel.
Physical abuse in the home is all too common. Although abuse of intimate partners and girls gets much attention, boys also experience physical abuse in the home. Our understanding of abuse of boys is limited. In several surveys, 25% to 50% of men have reported physical abuse as children. Parents are the most frequent abusers of boys. One possible outcome is that boys who experience abuse become adults who inflict abuse on intimate partners and children.
To measure the frequency of abuse of boys in homes located in neighborhoods in which abuse of intimate partners and girls is common and to see whether men who were abused as children have profiles of health and social problems known to occur frequently in men who abuse partners and children.
197 men who lived in neighborhoods with a high frequency of HIV infection. Such neighborhoods have a higher-than-average frequency of physical abuse in the home.
Interviewers called telephone numbers at random to identify men who were eligible for the study and who were willing to be interviewed. Interviewers asked questions that other researchers have used in their studies of physical abuse in the home. They also asked about symptoms of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, sex and drug histories, and legal problems. Participants received a small amount of money after completing the interview.
One hundred of the 197 men (51%) had experienced physical abuse in the home when they were children, and 57 of them had experienced severe abuse. Physical abuse took the form of being pushed, grabbed, or shoved; having something thrown at them; being kicked, bitten, or punched; being hit with something; being choked, burned, or scalded; or being physically attacked. Mothers and fathers were the most common abusers. Men with less education and men whose parents were neglectful or showed little affection were more likely to experience abuse. Men with a history of physical abuse in the home during their childhood were more likely to have depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, legal problems, and incarceration histories than men who did not experience physical abuse.
The researchers could not ask the participants whether they had physically abused an intimate partner or their own children, so they don't have direct evidence that boys who experience abuse are more likely to become men who abuse intimate partners, children, or both. The researchers surveyed men who live in neighborhoods in which physical abuse in the home is relatively common. The frequency of abuse may be lower in men who live in other types of neighborhoods.
Physical abuse of boys is a common occurrence. Abuse during childhood may make men more susceptible to certain kinds of health and social problems. Whether it makes them more likely to abuse intimate partners, children, or both in their home remains unknown.

Clarkson upends Mercyhurst men
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. -- Steve Perry made 23 saves and five different players scored for Clarkson as the Golden Knights defeated Mercyhurst 5-2 in the consolation game of the Ice Breaker Tournament at Mariucci Arena.
Clarkson (3-1) staked itself to a 1-0 lead toward the end of the first period when Jeff DiNallo took a feed from behind the goal line from A.J. Fossen for his first career goal.
The Golden Knights managed to distanced themselves from Mercyhurst (0-2-0) with three more goals in the second period.
Mercyhurst's Anthony Mastrodicasa's goal was sandwiched between a pair of Clarkson scores in a 2-minute stretch before the intermission.
Clarkson killed three straight penalties to take a 4-1 lead into the final period.
Mercyhurst managed its only other score when Simon Bessette's power-play goal came midway through the third period.
Ben Saxton led Clarkson with a goal and two assists. The Golden Knights limited Mercyhurst to just 1-of-6 on the power play while outshooting the Lakers 29-25.

To view the results of a students' test, go to the Grade Center, find the column, and well, there are the results. In this case, this needs grading. But if it were something that didn't need grading, it was all true/false questions or all multiple-choice question or all questions that were graded by Blackboard, I can see the score here. Now if you have an essay, a short answer, or a file response question you are going to have to grade these by hand, those parts of the questions. One of the easiest ways to do this is you could go here and click on Practice Test, but I want to scroll down.
I want to show you something that instead of clicking Grade Center and clicking the greater than signs on the right, I am actually going to expand the Grade Center. There is a tool here called Needs Grading. Anytime there's something on your Grade Center that you need to grade, the Needs Grading shows up and I have the ability now to start grading. Now, I want to show you something here. I can grade all the users. When I click that, it's going to open up the first student's paper.
I get to see who the student is. I get to read that student's paper. Or I could choose Grade Anonymously. What that's going to do is it's going to show me one at a time the students' answers, the students' tests, but it's not going to show me the student's name. It's actually just going to show me a number for the student like Student 8 or Student 12. That way I'm being sort of impartial in my grading. I can also Grade by Question or View by Attempts.
In this case, I'm actually going to grade all users. I click on that. I am going to scroll down. I can if I want to overwrite what Blackboard says. If I decide that I'm going to allow that answer, I can go in and enter a new point value here. That's perfectly fine. It doesn't count until I click on Submit. So you have the ability to overwrite or change individual scores. You can't change the answers, but you can change whether or not the students get points for it. I am going to scroll down and there is my essay and I'll type "Thank you Cicero" and scroll up.
And now I have to enter a grade. If you see a dash here, dash in the Grade Center always means that you need to enter a grade. It's missing a grade. I am going to give it a grade of 1, because it's out of 1 points. By the way, could I give it a higher grade? Sure! I can give it the grade of 1,000 if I wanted to. Of course, it's going to completely blow the students grades on Blackboard, because they are going to get the extra points and those extra points will actually count in their final grades. So be very, very careful when you enter grades to make sure that you're entering them in the right scale.
I am going to scroll down, give the feedback. I can also give some extra notes to the students. This is notes not on the essay, but rather on the test itself. I can have feedback to the users or I can do frading notes. When I click on Submit, it would now take me to the next student that I needed to grade. In this case, there's no one else who needs to be graded. By the way, notice I actually didn't enter a grade for the quiz score. I just entered it for that particular item.
If I go back to the Grade Center, you will notice that Jayden's practice test now has 2 points, because I gave him some extra points. I gave him 1 extra point on that first question and then I also gave him a point for the answer at the end. So that's why the Practice Test is worth 2 points here. Let me also show you a couple other things that you might want to know about. That's how to view the test results for a single student or to change their grades. But I want to show you something else.
If I go and click the column header and click the button with the two downward-facing chevrons, I want you to notice that there are a lot of options here. Again, Grade Attempts, Grade Anonymously. It's the same thing we saw when we went to Needs Grading under Grade Center. But I want you to notice here there's also something here called Attempts Statistics. This gives me a report that shows me the answers and the distribution of how the students in my class answered each and every question.
It's not going to give me a graph. It's also not going to show it to me it in raw score. In other words, it's going to say 100% of my students answered question one incorrectly or answered this, the Effective component. Second, it will tell me what the number is. I have to do the math to figure that one out. Scroll down a little further and I can see all the results. This is something you might want to think about downloading or saving or printing on your computer if you're interested in seeing how your students did on your tests. I am going go back to the Grade Center.
I want to show you one other thing. Click on Practice Test. I also have the ability to download the results. The Download Results is actually going to give me a file that I can then open up in a statistics program. It's helpful if you want to analyze responses in a much more in-depth robust way in a stats program like SPSS or SAS. So if I click on Download Results, I can then say okay, I want Tab. I want By User.
Click the Download Results. Let me just open this and I will show you what it looks like. Again, we get that message saying, now this is an XLS file, but it sure looks like a tab-delimited file. Yeah, we know that, and it gives me the username, the last name. It shows me each question. It gives me the answers. I can then go into a stats program and clean this up, recode this, and do some advanced statistics on this if I'm interested. That in a nutshell is what you need to know about test grades in Blackboard.
When you create a test it automatically creates a Test column. If your test contains questions that Blackboard grades, the grades here are going to be automatic. You can just go into Practice Test or the name of the column, click on the button, and you can then see the Attempts Statistics or Download Results. If there's anything in a test that you need to grade, if it has an essay or short answer or a file response, you can then in the column header either go and Grade Attempts, Grade Anonymously, or down here under Grade Center you can click on Needs Grading.

Characters of the Poincaré Group11(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1665430View Description Hide Description
We calculate the characters of the Poincaré group P̄ as solutions of differential equations in a way which is valid for a large class of Lie groups. We discuss the solutions of linear differential equations on an analytic manifold in a space of distributions. Then, we calculate the characters of SL(2, R) and the central distributions on P̄. Finally, we give the characters of all unitary irreducible representations of P̄, including mass 0, and some expressions which may be ``characters'' of nonunitary representations.
Mathematics of the N/D Method11(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1665431View Description Hide Description
A complete mathematical account is given of the N/D method, subject to certain restrictions on the given functions L and ρ (left‐hand cut contribution and phase‐space factor). The restrictions are the weakest possible if the phase shift is to be Hölder continuous. Any asymptotic behavior ρ ∼ x β, 0 < β < 2, is allowed. No analyticity is assumed for L. Exhaustive existence and uniqueness theorems are given: Any allowed function F (= e iδ sin δ/ρ) possesses an N/D decomposition, and the integral equation for N acts in a space of L 2 functions; this equation satisfies the Fredholm alternative theorems [though its kernel has a continuous spectrum if δ(∞)/π is not integral]; any L 2solution of the equation yields an allowed function F; all allowed solutions may be obtained by varying the CDD parameters (which enter linearly); each solution has a uniqueness index κ; there will usually be a κ parameter infinity of solutions with each κ ≥ 0, and none with κ < 0, but precise conditions on L and ρ are given in order that there will be a negative κ solution.
Quantum Theory of the Electromagnetic Field in a Variable‐Length One‐Dimensional Cavity11(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1665432View Description Hide Description
The quantum theory of linearly polarized light propagating in a 1‐dimensional cavity bounded by moving mirrors is formulated by utilizing the symplectic structure of the space of solutions of the wave equation satisfied by the Coulomb‐gauge vector potential. The theory possesses no Hamiltonian and no Schrödinger picture. Photons can be created by the exciting effect of the moving mirrors on the zero‐point field energy. A calculation indicates that the number of photons created is immeasurably small for nonrelativistic mirror trajectories and continuous mirror velocities. Automorphic transformations of the wave equation are used to calculate mode functions for the cavity, and adiabatic expansions for these transformations are derived. The electromagnetic field may be coupled to matter by means of a transformation from the interaction picture to the Heisenberg picture; this transformation is generated by an interaction Hamiltonian.
Intermediate Statistics11(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1665433View Description Hide Description
The distinctions between intermediate statistics, parastatistics, and Okayama statistics are discussed and it is pointed out that the distribution function of the intermediate statistics does not follow from the para‐Fermi statistics. The partition function, the pressure, and the specific heat of free particles which obey intermediate statistics are calculated in one, two, and three dimensions.
Finite and Infinitesimal Canonical Transformations11(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1665434View Description Hide Description
The general relation between the infinitesimal generator of a 1‐parameter subgroup of canonical transformations and the usual finite generating functions is obtained. This relation is found to be simply a generalization of the Hamilton‐Jacobi equation. When the latter relation is solved for the finite generating function, the connections for a finite transformation can be determined without the need for integration of the associated infinitesimal transformation.
Zeros of the Grand Partition Function for a Lattice Gas11(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1665435View Description Hide Description
The following three statements about the zeros of the grand partition function of a lattice gas with negative (attractive) interactions are proved: (1) Not all the zeros will be on the unit circle in the high‐temperature limit if forces of higher order than 2‐body are included; (2) in the low‐temperature limit they will, in general, lie on the unit circle; (3) it is possible to have the zeros dense in the complex plane. It is also shown that not all polynomials with positive coefficients and roots on the unit circle are a grand partition function of a lattice gas.
Exactly Solvable Electrodynamic Two‐Body Problem11(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1665436View Description Hide Description
The equations of motion of the physical 2‐body problems of relativistic electrodynamics are differential‐difference equations. However, in the unphysical 2‐body problem in which one particle responds only to retarded fields and the other only to advanced fields, the equations of motion are differential equations. These differential equations are solved in the center‐of‐momentum frame by the elementary method of finding integrating factors. Solutions in an arbitrary Lorentz frame are found by a method which parametrizes the world lines on the particle velocities. All of the constants of the motion contain interaction contributions; this appears to be a characteristic feature of relativistic particle dynamics.
Comparison of SCF and k ν Functions for the Helium Series11(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1665437View Description Hide Description
Wavefunctions for He, Li+, Be2+, and O6+ are presented. They were determined by using reduced modified Bessel functions of the second kind, k ν(qr). The z dependence of energies calculated using such functions for high values of z is found to be the same as for the Hartree‐Fock functions.
Global Singularities and the Taub‐NUT Metric11(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1665438View Description Hide Description
Several examples of singular behavior which are not apparent in the line element are discussed. It is shown that the presence of such singularities depends on the manner in which coordinate patches are assembled to form the entire manifold. It is shown that the usual connection of a coordinate patch with the Taub metric to a patch with the NUT metric is singular in the sense of this particle.
Stark Effect in Hydrogen Atoms for Nonuniform Fields11(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1665439View Description Hide Description
The correction for the energyeigenvalues of the Schrödinger equation for a hydrogenic atom in a non‐uniform field resulting from the inhomogeneity of the field is expressed in terms of expectation values involving the eigenfunctions of the system for a uniform field. Only the first‐order terms in the inhomogeneity of the field are retained. An examination of the symmetry of the eigenfunctions for the uniform field, followed by an application of Gauss' law, shows that the correction depends only on one component of the field gradient tensor, regardless of the symmetry of the field, except for states with magnetic quantum number m = ±1. For the latter states we find the degeneracy is removed provided that the field is not cylindrically symmetric. We evaluate the correction by applying Feynman's theorem to a pair of 1‐dimensional eigenvalue equations similar to those obtained in the separation of the uniform field problem in parabolic coordinates. All the necessary eigenvalues are calculated by the WKB method that has been previously employed in obtaining the eigenvalues for the uniform field problem. As the final result we present an expression for the zz component of the quadrupoletensor of the electron labeled according to parabolic quantum numbers. Finally, we discuss the use of this expression in the study of line broadening caused by interatomic interactions (pressure broadening).
SL(2, C) Symmetry of the Gravitational Field Dynamical Variables11(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1665440View Description Hide Description
We represent the spin coefficients and the Riemann tensor in the form of linear combinations of the infinitesimal generators of the group SL(2, C). This representation is similar to the way Yang and Mills write their dynamical variables in terms of the Pauli spin matrices. The spin coefficients take the role of the Yang‐Mills‐like potentials, whereas the Riemann tensor takes the role of the fields.
Radiative Transfer in a Rayleigh‐Scattering Atmosphere with True Absorption11(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1665441View Description Hide Description
The singular‐eigenfunction‐expansion technique is used to solve the equation of transfer for partially polarized light in a Rayleigh‐scattering atmosphere with true absorption. The normal modes for the considered nonconservative vector equation of transfer are established; two discrete eigenvectors and two linearly independent continuum solutions are thus derived. Further, the necessary full‐range completeness and orthogonality theorems are proved, so that all expansion coefficients can be determined explicitly, and, in order to illustrate the technique, an exact analytical solution for the infinite‐medium Green's function is developed. Finally, a numerical tabulation of the required discrete eigenvalue, as a function of the single‐scatter albedo, is given.
Proper Orientation of Space‐Time11(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1665442View Description Hide Description
An observer determining space‐time around his world line by various measurements may encounter the problem of not being able to define a unique time order and a spatial orientation along world lines of other objects. The problem is discussed and resolved with the aid of geometrical considerations.
Physical‐Region Discontinuity Equation11(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1665443View Description Hide Description
A Cutkosky‐type formula for the discontinuity around an arbitrary physical‐region singularity is derived from precisely formulated S‐matrix principles.
Relationship between Geometrical‐Optical and Full‐Wave Solutions to the Problem of Propagation over a Nonparallel Stratified Medium11(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1665444View Description Hide Description
The problem of propagation over a wedge‐shaped overburden has been analyzed using a full‐wave‐solution approach. The relationship between this solution and an earlier one employing the compensation theorem is discussed in detail. The compensation theorem method makes use of the simplifying concept of of the surface impedance which is determined by a geometrical‐optical approach. The applicability and limitations of the latter approach are carefully studied for both dissipative and nondissipative over‐burdens.
Kruskal's Perturbation Method11(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1665445View Description Hide Description
A general method for eliminating the angle variable from the equations of a perturbed periodic motion and for deriving an ``adiabatic invariant'' J has been given by Kruskal and, for a special class of Hamiltonian systems, McNamara and Whiteman have shown (to order ε2) that J is related to a set of invariants I obtained from the expansion of Poisson‐bracket relations. In this work, an order‐by‐order algorithm for Kruskal's method is introduced, and a new set of invariants Z 1 is obtained. It is shown that these invariants bear a close relation to those obtained from the Poisson‐bracket expansion and, in the special case investigated by McNamara and Whiteman, the relation between I and Z 1 may be brought to the same form as the relation between I and J derived by those authors. Finally, the relationship between Z 1 and J is examined, and arguments are presented that in certain cases the two are equal to all orders.
Direct Canonical Transformations11(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1665446View Description Hide Description
Some of the perturbation methods in classical Hamiltonian mechanics lead to near‐identity transformations of the variables, with the new variables explicitly given as functions of the old ones. Two methods are used for identifying and characterizing the subclass of all such transformations which are also canonical: one approach is related to the conventional method of generating canonical transformations, while the other one uses the properties of Poisson brackets and is related to an operator method of Lie. Either of the methods may be used to derive certain steps in a perturbation method devised by Lacina, inadvertently omitted by that author.
Second Quantized Atomic Wavefunctions with Definite Unitary and Rotational Symmetry11(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1665447View Description Hide Description
Some atomic wavefunctions for equivalent electrons in the group scheme are constructed in terms of electron fermion creation and annihilation operators. The concept of semiconjugacy is defined and shown to reduce the number of states that must be explicitly calculated. The states for the d shell are calculated and tabulated.
Some Topological Properties Connected to the Parametrized Feynman Amplitudes11(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1665448View Description Hide Description
An approach first developed by one of the present authors for computation involving Poincaré incidence matrix is now carried over to the so‐called ``loop‐matrix'' formalism. A matrix is introduced to prove some important properties of transformations among different sets of basic loops. Several properties in the form of lemmas and theorems are presented here. In particular, a formula of very concise form is found for the total number of possible tree graphs of a given Feynman graph in terms of its corresponding Poincaré incidence matrix. Also derived here is the formula for the total number of tree graphs in terms of any loop matrix. Their proofs show that the previously developed approach for Poincaré incidence matrix can be nicely generalized to a surprising extent to the loop matrix formalism and thus demonstrate the duality between the two formalisms.
Nonlinear Light Propagation in a Resonant Medium and Causality11(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1665449View Description Hide Description
The propagation of an optical pulse through a system of two‐level atoms embedded in a host medium of constant refractive indexn is considered. It is shown that the values of the solutions of the nonlinear system of coupled Maxwell and Schrödinger equations at time t at a point z, in the McCall‐Hahn approximation, depend only on data contained in the interval [z ‐ c/nt, z] at t = 0. Thus, information cannot be transmitted through this medium with velocity greater than c/n. Apparent violations of this property in the case of self‐induced transparency are explained.

Marijuana isn't harmless - especially for kids
Odds are you know someone with an addiction: 2.3 million people over the age of 12 sought substance/alcohol treatment in 2011, according to the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Add those not seeking or unable to afford treatment and the numbers escalate.
Marijuana dependence/abuse is twice as prevalent as other drugs — 4.2 million Americans (2011), nearly two-thirds of Arizona's population. Nationally, treatment admissions skyrocketed 21 percent (2000-2010), with an average age of 25 and nearly three quarters male. In Arizona, marijuana treatment has surpassed methamphetamine.
Marijuana withdrawal has the same symptoms as other drugs — cravings, irritability, low self-confidence, despondency, depression and suicidal thoughts.
I see public opinion swaying toward marijuana legalization and scratch my head. Recovery is possible, but why mainstream a substance of addiction? One in 11 new users will become addicted — one in six who start as teens and up to one in two who smoke it daily.
As we strive for global competitiveness and lament poor school performance in comparison to our international peers, we must face the truth about pot. It is more crucial than ever to challenge the impression many teens have that marijuana is a benign, unfairly demonized substance.
Regular marijuana use jeopardizes a young person's chance of success — in school and in life. The National Institute of Drug Abuse warns that habitual teen marijuana use is linked to a significant decrease in IQ of seven to eight points, not to mention school dropout or failure, future drug use, and mental health problems. An eight IQ point drop is titanic, sinking a person of average intelligence into the lowest third of the range.
Nationally, one in 15 high-school seniors are regular pot users. The 2012 Arizona Youth Survey found that one in five of Arizona's high-school seniors used pot in the past 30 days and a 14.4 percent cumulative increase in past 30-day use since 2008 for grades eight, 10 and 12.
Parents tell me of their pot-using teens falling behind in school while insisting that marijuana is "medicine." Unlike methamphetamine, heroin, and the horrific synthetics (bath salts/spice), marijuana's harms are not readily apparent: no life-threatening overdose or deterioration into a gaunt and ravaged figure.
The effects are rather subtle: downward life trajectory, erosion of IQ, impaired cognitive development, mental health issues, low education attainment, and the escalation of delinquency. Disintegration over months or years is not easily identified nor does it garner headlines.
I see the harms — child abuse inflicted by the neglectful pot-smoking parent; traffic fatalities by the marijuana impaired driver.
I see the subtle signs of destruction in the growing number of addicted young adults.
Our job as adults is to create an environment to fuel our kids' success. To that end, we must educate them and the voting public about the value of the brain and the damage of marijuana.
Already an uphill battle, the legalization movement feeds teens' perception that marijuana is safe. We can't sit passively by and watch this slow decline.
Marijuana is harmless? Think again.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Oprah Winfrey
- 1998
Method Acting
Beloved, a film adapted from a Toni Morrison novel, opens with Winfrey acting as both star and producer. While prepping for the film, she gets into the mindset of her character, a former slave in a post-Civil War setting, with a real-life reenactment. The role-playing was scheduled to last 48 hours, but Winfrey calls it off after six. "The guy in the reenactment [said], 'Nigger, you belong to me,'" she tells the Bergen Record of her time toiling in fields and running through woods for a faux-escape. "I felt shock waves of pain, pain, pain."
- 2000
Magazine Success
Winfrey launches O, the Oprah Magazine. After discord arises among the editing staff, Winfrey flies them all to her home in Miami. "The retreat was to sync ourselves up," Winfrey tells The New York Times. Six years later the magazine hits a circulation of 2.6 million.
- 2004
It's a New Car!
Winfrey launches her show's Wildest Dreams season and kicks it off by giving each of the 276 audience members a new Pontiac G6 car. A controversy arises when they have to pay almost $7,000 each in taxes for the gifts. "As soon as we heard [about the taxes,] we started working with the accountant to adjust our income taxes," Kyle Meyers, whose wife was in the audience, tells the Wisconsin State Journal. "But that's nothing compared to a new car. How could you complain about that?"
- 2005
Furious at Frey
Winfrey chooses James Frey's memoir A Million Little Pieces for her book club. Four months later, she finds out parts of the book were made up and confronts him on air. "I feel duped, but more importantly I feel that you betrayed millions of readers," she says on her show.
Great Purple Way
Twenty years after starring in the film version of The Color Purple, Winfrey helps bring the story to Broadway. She appears on David Letterman's show the day the play opens to promote it, ending the 16-year rift that developed because, as she told Time in 2003, a previous appearance on Letterman's show made her uncomfortable.
- 2006
Just Friends
In the August issue of her magazine, Winfrey denies rumors that she's having a romantic relationship with best friend Gayle King. "I understand why people think we're gay," Winfrey writes in O. "There isn't a definition in our culture for this kind of bond between women."
- 2007
Oprah Opens Schools
Winfrey opens the $40 million-plus Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls. She chooses 152 of South Africa's neediest girls to attend. "This is the proudest, greatest day of my life," Winfrey says. In March, she opens a second school, and makes PEOPLE's Most Beautiful and Time's Most Influential lists. But, in October her academy is hit by allegations of abuse. Winfrey publicly apologizes to families and a former school matron is arrested on charges of physical and sexual abuse.
- 2008
Oprah Hits the Big 2-0-0
After topping the Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment Power 100 list, Oprah confesses to tipping the scale at 200 lbs.–a 40-lb. weight gain from her slimmer self. "I'm mad at myself," she declares on the cover of her magazine's January issue. "I can't believe that after all these years, all the things I know how to do, I'm still talking about my weight."
- 2009
End of an Era
Winfrey announces her plans to end her highly rated talk show in 2011 after 25 years, in an effort to prepare for the launch of her cable channel, OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network. "I love this show," a teary-eyed Winfrey tells her audience. "This show has been my life and I love it enough to know when it's time to say goodbye."
- 2011
OWN-ing It!
With a New Year, there's a new Oprah, as the media mogul launches her TV network, OWN, to stellar ratings – a solid 1 million viewers on her inaugural evening. "I wanted to take the ideals of great television that we've established on the Oprah show and bring them to you through a variety of new shows 24/7," she says. "Every minute of this network has been hand-selected by me for you, the viewers."

NEW YORK -- As demand for more convenient products grows, supermarket produce executives face a dilemma: how to provide packaged products while at the same time fostering the fresh image that's the hallmark of produce departments. Indeed, the growth of packaged products endangers the unique look-and-feel of produce departments, some industry observers believe. Others, however, say it's a trade-off that must be made in this era of consumer convenience. "There's an awful lot of plastic in ...

What's in a name: Wellsburg
Where is it?
Wellsburg, situated roughly at the intersection of routes 18 and 6N, is located south of Cranesville in western Elk Creek Township.
What's the story?
Well, well, well.
Turns out Wellsburg (spelled "Wellsberg" on some local signs) is named after an early pioneer named Samuel Wells, who settled in Elk Creek Township with his five sons in 1815.
The Wells family quickly helped build up Wellsburg. Franklin Well built a grist and several saw mills, according to Nelson's Biographical Dictionary and Historical Reference Book of Erie County, Pennsylvania. Otis Wells is credited for laying out the village.
And according to historical records, Wells actually drilled a salt well just south of Wellsburg. (Seriously!)

(Mr. LEACH asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Rep. James A. Leach
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the House, it is my honor to welcome and extend appreciation to the Reverend Dr. Paul Smith for delivering the opening prayer this morning.
Dr. Smith is the senior pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn and a faculty member of the New York Theological Seminary. A scholar, Dr. Smith has written extensively on issues of integration and is considered one of the world's leading authorities on multicultural training and arbitration. He has negotiated labor management agreements related to sweatshops in South America and China and conducted sensitivity training for the New York City Police Department, various churches, universities and the Federal Government, including the IRS. Given the tensions in the world in which we live and not incidentally the fractious body in which we work, Reverend Smith's presence and prayer is much appreciated.
Rep. Nydia M. Velázquez
Mr. Speaker, I rise to thank the Reverened Dr. Paul Smith, who led today's Opening Prayer. Reverend Smith is the senior minister of the First Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn, NY, in my district, and I am proud to have him here as a representative of our community.
Reverend Smith has a long career in and out of the ministry. He began as an assistant pastor at the Salem United Church of Christ in Buffalo, New York, in 1960. He has taught at divinity schools at the New York and San Francisco Theological Seminaries and Emory University, in addition to holding administrative positions at Washington University and Morehouse College.
Not content to preach from the pulpit, Reverend Smith applies his ministry to public life. He teaches at the Health Science Center of the State University of New York and provides diversity and senstivity training to corporations and communities alike.
I hope you will join me today in welcoming Reverend Paul Smith here today.

|» All About Black & White 2 on ActionTrip
Jackson "Smapdey" Johns
I played the original Black and White before I hit puberty. I played the second Black and White my freshman year of college. I really liked the first Black and White because everyone else told me to like it. Personally, I didn't get it that much. I played with it, but I never really understood any of the gameplay mechanics, and honestly, I thought that The Sims was a much better God game. Black and White 2 is easy to understand now though, because there is nothing to understand.
What are you crazy kids up to?
Black and White 2 starts with the same intro video as the first game. Seriously, it is the exact same f*cking video. What the hell? It has been how long? What? Like five years or something? Get a new introduction video, guys!
And from there, you can imagine how the rest of the game goes. There's only one way to play the game, the single player mode. That's it. Nothing else.
Black and White 2 lost all focus on the gameplay experience it was trying to create. There isn't any sandbox mode, and after you play the first level, you know exactly how the rest of the game is going to play. You build a big city (exactly like all the other ones you have built), and hopefully this will impress your neighbors so much that they will attempt to join your beautiful city. And if this bores you, you can build a huge army and start conquering towns. There is no real strategy involved no matter what you decide to do. Normally, you wind up doing both; it doesn't take much to do either.
There's also these fantastic scrolls you click on to either engage a tutorial, move the main plot of the game forward (there is no plot to this game), or to play one of the many asinine mini games. There is really no reason to play any of the mini games. I know you might be tempted, but they're a waste of your time. Don't click on the silver scrolls. For the love of God, don't click on the silver scrolls.
I think that someone at Lionhead might have Attention Deficit Disorder. Many of their current games are all about novelties around pretty shallow and repetitive gameplay. They come up with these fantastic ideas, and then none of these actually make it into the game (not to the extent that Lionhead talked about them anyway). Black and White 2 is no exception. There are many interesting little novelties here, but after playing one, maybe two of the islands, you sort of get what the game is all about.
Lionhead (or Peter Molyneux rather) is also legendary for his amazing interfaces. Black and White 2 can be played using entirely the mouse. This is interesting except that playing it like that is horribly inefficient and frustrating. There's a reason that every game uses the keyboard: it is much easier to get things done by pressing one of the hundreds of buttons on the keyboard, than clicking through menus and dragging things onto the screen. Please stop trying to set a precedent and adopt the standard.
From a technical standpoint, Black and White 2 looks pretty. The expansiveness of each island and the eye candy involved is impressive. It also moves very smoothly from a bird's eye view of the entire island, down to an individual toiling away in the fields. Then in the sound department, there is nothing spectacular. The sounds are localized, and that is nice, but not that impressive. There's a wonderful clicking sound when you try to capture another city and the "Capture City" counter starts. It won't take long before that will grow to annoy the hell out of you.
The artificial intelligence is revolutionary, but only in how appallingly bad it is. Your pet, in theory, should become better at what you train him to do. Your pet actually is just a huge gimmick and serves little point in having him in the game. When he does things you want him to continue to do, you lovingly stroke him, but when he screws up, you can smack the living crap out of him. He'll attempt to do these things or not do these things depending on how you've trained him. However, when it comes to combat, your creature can actually cause more harm than good. I've watched as my creature (after the combat upgrades I purchased for him) run at enemy troops, watch as the enemy troops just run past him and into my archers, watch as my creature stands there looking stupid for a second, before rushing into the middle of my troops and casting a lightning spell, decimating my only platoon. Your enemy never really does anything exciting either though. Sometimes they implore the time-honored technique of just walking around your walls without attacking. And even after you destroy your own walls by throwing boulders at them so that your enemy can rush forwards and be burned to death by your fireballs, they still just run around, same as ever. And other times, they'll use the time-honored technique of rushing across an open field towards your platoon of archers that outnumber them two to one, straight through the gauntlet of deadly arrows raining from the sky. Maybe one enemy soldier will reach your archers, if he's really lucky.
If you want to avoid the retardation that is combat, you can build cities. This is easy, because your villagers tell you exactly what to build next and the game has icons that tell you how to lay out your city so everyone is happiest. On top of that, there is no resource management in this game. Fields just need water to always grow food, mines just need miners to always get ore, and forests just need water to always have trees. Plus, even if your people aren't gathering wood, food, or ore, you can do it for them. You can also build their houses for them. Sometimes it is best to just tell all of your villagers to breed so that you can just do all of the resource gathering yourself.
5.9 Okay
Looks pretty, is from a rare genre;
Shallow, repetitive, boring.

President Barack Obama's jobs bill is expected to fail in a Senate vote Tuesday, since Republicans oppose its spending components and tax surcharge on millionaires.
The White House rewrote parts of the $447 billion plan in order to get enough Democrats on board to pass the legislation.
Obama has been waging a campaign-style cross country effort in order to get Congress to pass the bill. He traveled to Pittsburgh Tuesday, making a plea for support in a state crucial to his re-election hopes.
The president planned to join his jobs council of corporate and labor leaders in Pittsburgh as they unveiled a report calling for sweeping and urgent changes in government policies.
But while Obama's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness laid out a series of policy overhauls that were sure to please and irritate Democratic and Republican partisans alike, his jobs bill appeared to be stalled on the Senate floor.
"This is not the time for the usual games or political gridlock in Washington," the president said in his weekend radio and Internet address.
"Any senator out there who's thinking about voting against this jobs bill needs to explain why they would oppose something that we know would improve our economic situation," Obama added.
The measure combines payroll tax cuts for workers and businesses with $175 billion in spending on roads, school repairs and other infrastructure. It also includes unemployment assistance and help to local governments to avoid layoffs of teachers, firefighters and police officers.
One economist predicts the measure would add 1.9 million payroll jobs and reduce unemployment by two percentage points.
However, Republicans say the measure is not a jobs bill, but looks more like the 2009 stimulus bill.
"It's not a jobs bill. In our view, it's another stimulus bill," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told Fox News. "I don't think it'll pass and I don't think it should."
House GOP leaders say they won't bring the measure to the floor.

*I'm a straightforward, caring, sweet, funny, outgoing person, everyone says that too, but it is true
*I work hard at the things I value in life. I have a good job, A home and car. For the most part I have my life together.
*I am old enough at this point (36) that I don't want to waste time with someone I'm not interested in and vice versa.
*I have kind of a sarcastic sense of humor, so if that bothers you we probably won't get along. If you don't like family guy type of humor we most likely aren't a match. If you have a touch of sarcasm yourself, we could have fun together. If you're a little nicer it usually works well, kind of a sweet and sour mix.
*I'm looking to meet someone with some common interests, but not all, it's always good to meet someone that introduces you to new things.
*I did the club/bar scene like crazy for a long time but not all that interested in it anymore.
*I love to soak in all the fun and unusual experiences that life has to offer
*I love to travel and get to do so for my work often but it's always better with a partner in crime
*Most books I read these days are usually computer, math, or science related. Dry, boring, stuff I know ... but it's relevant to my job and actually I like reading some of it.
*I'm a big time movie buff. Most of it is of the sci-fi, action, and horror genre but really love anything that is well written. The recent batch of Marvel Comics movie adaptations are also great, especially since I'm a comic book geek (lucky you). And of course, Chris Nolan's take on the Batman story (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Dark knight rises) are pure awesome. Also if you saw Ted and didn't find it funny we most likely aren't a match. I have been known, however, to watch what would be considered chick flicks. And yes, I've seen the Twilight movies but more of a true blood fan. Sorry i still think vampires should burst in to flames in the sun!!!
*My musical tastes are all over the place, from country, to R&B, to rock, but I mainly listen to rock.
*I like to make the bionic man sound when I lift heavy objects.
So if any of this sounds good hit me up. If not good luck and
hope you find happiness and joy in your life.
