Algorithms and Theory Group
Department of Computer Science[1], University of Maryland, College Park[2].
Welcome to the Wiki for our group!
Research in Theory of Computation includes three parts.
Abstract salient features of a computational task; the outcome of abstraction is usually a mathematical model.
Use analytical tools to study various issues within the model.
Go back and relate the contributions of studies within the model to the motivating computational task.
The motivation may arise from a specific application, a whole application area, or from more foundational considerations. The former cases lead to designing and analyzing algorithms useful for the understanding of the motivating application. In the latter case, perhaps more similar to traditional areas of Mathematics, practical applicability may sometimes emerge as a by-product.
For students with an interest in the theory of computation, the University of Maryland provides a unique opportunity. The faculty has a very strong reputation in a several theory areas for students who wish to pursue research in these areas. For students with a strong theoretical bent and desire to apply theory to new application areas, the faculty has several forward looking research projects and studies.
Main Research Areas:
- Applied Algorithmics:
Joseph Ja'Ja',
Mohammad Hajiaghayi,
Samir Khuller,
David Mount,
Mihai Pop,
Aravind Srinivasan,
Uzi Vishkin
Applying rigorously developed theory to practical problems arising in, e.g., networks, graphics, image processing, architecture, and social networks and epidemiology. Research at UMD in this area is often undertaken in collaboration with faculty in application areas. A sample of issues covered includes: how to schedule data upload in high-volume Web servers, nearest-neighbor searching, fast interpolation for ray-tracing, scheduling multimedia delivery from replicated sources, and exploiting the massive parallelism in upcoming parallel architectures.
- Algorithmic Game Theory:
Mohammad Hajiaghayi,
Aravind Srinivasan,
Mechanism Design in particular Algorithmic Game Theory, which can be viewed as "incentive-aware algorithm design", has become an increasingly important part of (theoretical) computer science in recent years. Recent results show a strong relation between computer science (esp. networking) and economics (esp. game theory), and techniques from each seem well-poised to help with key problems of the other. Our main goal in this area is to study these connections which produce powerful mechanisms for adaptive and networked environments and several other applied areas, and improve the experience of users of the Web and the Internet. To this end, we do research in several topics such as algorithmic mechanism design; auctions (efficient, revenue-maximizing, sponsored search, etc.); congestion and potential games; cost sharing; existence, computation, and learning of equilibria; game theory in the Internet; network games; price of anarchy; selfish routing, etc.
- Approximation Algorithms:
Samir Khuller,
Mohammad Hajiaghayi,
Aravind Srinivasan,
Uzi Vishkin
Approximation algorithms is the branch of algorithms dealing with the design of polynomial time algorithms that produce solutions that are close to optimal. This is of special interest for intractable problems for which no polynomial algorithms are known that produce optimal solutions. Techniques used are from a variety of areas: greedy algorithms, linear programming, randomized algorithms, non-linear programming, dynamic programming etc.
- Bioinformatics and Computational Biology:
Carl Kingsford,
Mihai Pop
Bioinformatics and Computational Biology involve the application of algorithmic theory to solving biological problems, in particular those problems arising from the modern shift of biological research towards high-throughput experimental techniques. As an example, determining the DNA sequence of organisms could not be possible without sophisticated algorithms used to assemble together the many small fragments generated by sequencing machines. Computational Biology at University of Maryland is conducted in close collaboration with biologists from the life-science departments and from other institutions.
- Coding Theory:
Alexander Barg
Coding theory is motivated by the problem of information transmission over noisy communication channels. It has developed into an area of applied mathematics with strong ties to theoretical computer science. Among the areas with links to CS are: list decoding of algebraic codes, local testability and local decodability and proofs of the different versions of the PCP theorem, codes and algorithms on graphs, almost orthogonal codes and weakly biased arrays, universal hash functions, quantum information processing, and others.
- Complexity Theory:
William Gasarch,
Jonathan Katz
Complexity theory is concerned with how complex various functions are to compute. The usual measures of complexity are time and space, though there are others such as communication and descriptive complexity. The most important problem in complexity theory is P=?NP. One topic of research in complexity theory at The University of Maryland is looking at analogs of P=?NP in communication complexity and descriptive complexity theory and seeing if the problem is solvable there, and what insights it may offer for the real problem. This approach is also being used on other open problems in complexity theory.
- Computational Geometry:
Samir Khuller,
David Mount
Computational geometry is the study of algorithms and data structures for problems whose inputs are geometric objects, for example, points, lines, spheres, polygons, and polyhedra. The field has applications to areas such as computer graphics and vision, robotics, computer-aided design, computational statistics, and computational biology. Research on computational geometry at Maryland includes work on a number of areas, including computing closest points and nearest neighbor searching and point location, computing clusters in point sets, point pattern matching, and interpolation.
- Cryptography:
Jonathan Katz,
Alexander Barg
Cryptography began as a rigorous formalization of issues arising in data and computer security (encryption, authentication, etc.), but has since expanded to touch upon many other areas of theoretical computer science (the most striking example being the concept of "zero-knowledge proofs"). Research at UMD explores both the practical and the theoretical aspects of this field. A primary motivation is to understand the efficiency of cryptographic solutions by (1) improving the computational/communication complexity of existing protocols, (2) using new number-theoretic assumptions to speed up current constructions, (3) designing improved algorithms for faster computation, and (4) proving lower bounds on the best possible efficiency that can be achieved.
- Fixed-Parameter Algorithms:
Mohammad Hajiaghayi
Fixed-parameter algorithms (a.k.a. parameterized complexity) is another approach to cope with hardness of NP-complete problems. In these algorithms, we allow the running time to be exponential, but only with respect to a parameter other than the problem size, while the result must be optimal (the parameter is often small in practice). In particular, parameterized complexity uses a set of techniques such as kernelization, bounded search trees, bounded treewidth of graphs, and extremal combinatorics among others. Though until recently, approximation algorithms and fixed-parameter algorithms have been considered to be two different approaches with different methodology that have very little to do with each other, very recently several connections between the two fields were identified. We are currently investigating these connections along with traditional parameterized algorithms for NP-complete problems.
- Parallel Algorithms:
Clyde Kruskal,
Joseph Ja'Ja',
Uzi Vishkin
Thinking algorithmically in parallel provides an interesting ``alien intellectual culture, relative to previous algorithmic theories. Current UMD researchers have had a strong presence in this field for over two decades, as evidenced by the recent recognition of 2 parallel algorithms researchers: Clyde Kruskal and Uzi Vishkin, as Highly Cited Researchers -- Kruskal and Vishkin are 2 of a total of 15 active UMD faculty members to be recognized by ISI Thompson, publishers of the science citation index. The PRAM-On-Chip project at UMD is a direct outgrowth of our theoretical work. The project offers a concrete agenda for challenging the 1946 von-Neumann architecture, through streamlining the massive knowledge base developed by the parallel algorithms community with the roadmap for CMOS VLSI.
- Pattern Matching:
Uzi Vishkin
Strings of characters (or bits) is an elementary form for representing information. Pattern matching problems on strings have provided a fertile ground for idea-driven algorithmic research.
- Randomized Algorithms:
Mohammad Hajiaghayi,
Jonathan Katz,
Aravind Srinivasan
Randomized algorithms are algorithms that make random choices as they proceed, and have had a fundamental impact on many areas of computer science including distributed computing, cryptology, and networking. Research in Maryland covers all aspects of this field, including applications to network design and routing, approximation algorithms, scheduling, and distributed algorithms. On the more theoretical side, we are also interested in studying the limits to which randomization can be useful in computation.

The music, either a full band or select musicians, in the Atrium area every evening was beautiful, Ray Coussins pianist in the Promenade lounge from 9-12 was so relaxing with great singing and stories about his career, and the shows - magician, juggler, and the Princess players were terrific. We tried Sabatinis for our Anniversary celebrations - delicious and worth $20 a person. (Don't eat that day until that meal because it is at least 9 courses!).
I only had two problems - the pizza which I heard such rave reviews about it and was disappointed. And the fact that people on our corridor were smoking cigars in their room so that every time their door opened the smoke spilled out onto the corridor. Evidently they did not use their balcony for smoking - just their room.
This was my first experience with the Princess line (Cunard, Carnival, Royal Caribbean) and if all the ships are as great as the Golden Princess, I am sold on Princess!

Keeping Up On My Health with Healthcare Clinic St. Louis: Diabetes & Triglycerides Screening and Consultation #HealthcareClinic #CollectiveBias
I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This content has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its client. All health related suggestions and opinions expressed in this post are all my own. #HealthcareClinic #CollectiveBias
I have a primary care physician. I have a great insurance plan through my employer. So, why did I recently choose the Walgreen's Healthcare Clinic St. Louis to keep up on my overall health? For starters, lately when I have called to make an appoint with my doctor it seems impossible to get in to the office! Seriously, where has the personal care gone? The last time I was sick, they chose to assess me over the phone and call me in a prescription rather than see me. And even then it was the phone nurse I spoke with, not my actual doctor. Lets not even talk about the last time I scheduled an appointment for a routine check-up. A month wait for available times, really? I have been eager for awhile now to find other options because my health has not always been so great.

Greek Yogurt Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe
I like to purchase my Greek yogurt in large volumes, seriously I buy it from Sams Club in bulk because it is a great protein boost for any "average" recipe. It is a great addition to SO many recipes: Buffalo Chicken Dip, Deviled Eggs, Greek Yogurt Chicken, Skinny Chocolate Mousse Mini and many more on my Recipe Board. So, when I got a sweet tooth to make some chocolate chip muffins, I knew exactly what I wanted to add to it!

Mr Clean Liquid Muscle: Fighting Dirt & Grime #MrCleanMorePower
This is a sponsored post for SheSpeaks/Mr. Clean.
You can call me "weird" and "strange" but I admit, I really do enjoy cleaning! I might not always enjoy some aspects of cleaning, like being elbows deep in the tub scrubbing away on grime that won't come off! But to sit back afterwards, staring at a sparkling clean tub/bathroom is a reward in itself! And what better smell in the world than the smell of a newly mopped floor, am I right?! They do have the famous saying, "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" for a reason. Because a clean home is a happy home in my opinion!
When I do have an issue with cleaning, it's never really with the cleaning part itself but more with the cleaning products. I am sure many of you have experienced the burning eyes from using a product that is full of chemicals! And when I have tried to use those "green, eco-friendly" type cleaners, they just can't seem do the job. I can scrub and scrub and feel like I get no where, frustrating! So when I heard Mr. Clean has come out with a new multi-purpose cleaner, you can imagine my excitement!

Disney Junior Live: Pirate and Princess Adventure Review
I am a Feld Family Ambassador, and in exchange for my time and efforts in attending shows and reporting my opinion within this blog, as well as keeping you advised of the latest discount offers, Feld Entertainment has provided me with complimentary tickets to Feld shows and opportunities to attend private Feld pre-Show events.
I recently took my daughter and niece to the Disney Junior Live Pirate and Princess Adventure. As you might know, my household is big time Disney fans and we try to hit all the Disney shows/movies/events that come to the St. Louis area! But truth be told, I was not super stoked about seeing this show. I know, I know, how can I call myself a Disney fan but not be excited to see Mickey and Mickey? Who by the way, DID make an appearance! Well, I guess my lackadaisical attitude has something to do with never having watched Sofia the First and who are these Jake and the Never Land pirates, by the way?

-From the Character May on Parenting
I hold a Masters degree in Biochemistry, I work in a Laboratory conducting research on neurons but do you know what my most difficult endeavor is yet? Parenting! Parenting is tough, it does not come with instructions, a manual or a text book. It is about being flexible and adjusting at any split second. And the older my kids get, the harder it gets but at least I have a wing-man to help guide me in this crazy journey of parenting. I could not IMAGINE doing it alone but many women do. I happen to be very good friends with a few amazing women that have to go about this thing called parenting alone. And although these women are "single" in a sense, they are also surrounded by a huge support system; including other moms!

JI Supervisory Committee Publishes Report of 17th Meeting
14 September 2009: The Joint Implementation Supervisory Committee (JISC) has published the report of its 17th meeting, which took place from 10-11 September 2009, in Kiev, Ukraine. At the meeting, the JISC considered various matters relating to the operation of Joint Implementation (JI).
On the accreditation of independent entities, the JISC adopted the draft version 05 of the procedure for accrediting independent entities by the JISC (JI accreditation procedure), which was recommended to it by the JI Accreditation Panel (JI-AP) in response to the request by JISC 13. The JISC also considered the shortlist of experts to replace outgoing JI-AP members, presented to it by the UNFCCC Secretariat, and selected the following experts as members of the JI-AP for a two-year term starting on the first day of the JI-AP's 20th meeting, to be held on 9-10 November 2009: Takashi Otsubo; Anastasia Moskalenko; and Pierre Boileau.
Regarding revisions to JISC documents relevant to determination and verification manual (DVM), the JISC considered the analysis of the call for public inputs on the contents of a DVM presented by the UNFCCC Secretariat, and agreed on priority areas to consider further, including: a grace period for the use of approved Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) methodologies; and partial use of approved CDM methodologies under the JI specific approach.
In addition, the JISC also considered matters relating to: determination and verification reports; the development of a determination and verification manual (DVM); the development of definitions, forms, guidelines and procedures for projects under the JI programmes of activities; the JI management plan and resources for the work on JI; collaboration of the JISC with others; and the elements for the annual report of the JISC to the COP/MOP.

Police: Man arrested after threatening to blow up gas lines near DART station Sunday night
Staff writer Staci Parks reports: A Dallas man was arrested Sunday night after he threatened to blow up gas lines near a downtown light rail station.
Charles Woodson, 19, called 911 at about 6 p.m. and told operators he had an explosive device near the Dallas Area Rapid Transit's St. Paul station, said DART spokesman Mark Ball.
Woodson has been charged with making a terroristic threat. He remains in the Dallas County jail in lieu of $5,000.
When DART police arrived, Woodson was sitting on the platform at the station with a green backpack. The bag was filled with clothes, and authorities didn't find any weapons, Ball said.
DART closed operations between the West End and Pearl Street stations for about an hour while the bomb squad investigated the threat. Travelers used buses during the hiatus, according to DART officials.

Well don't give up yet. Try posting your question on the debian-68k
lists. Check out the m68k ports section at www.debian.org to sign up.
There's a lot more working with the Amiga 68k than the mac68k.
Try NetBSD. Or just be satisfied with a text console. You have a
compiler, server, router, emacs editor, etc. You have thousands of
packages to choose from. And they are not all X packages.
I kind of wonder, however, if you have all of your necessary X packages.
Did you use an install CD? Did you run
and install the basic X
window system files?
Do the following:
output.txt> at a prompt and post the
output.txt here. Should be able to see exactly what your system is
booting into from this as far as color depth.Maybe another amiga user
will see the post and be able to help you out. I wish I could help you,
but I don't have an Amiga.Kind of hard to find.
You might try the older fbdev server package instead of the xfree86-server.

How would you like to take the family to a place where, for $7.50, each of you could have a juicy filet-mignon dinner? And, if you were in an extravagant mood, all you would have to do is toss in an additional 50 cents and the dinner would arrive with salad and spaghetti.
Does the suggestion sound like the words of someone who has eaten one dinner too many? Or the shameless utterings of a practical joker? Well, if you have ever been to Strolli's Restaurant, on Dickinson Street between 15th and 16th, you know it is not a joke.

For the past three months, I've been the administrator of the United States Pirate Party. In general, I direct and oversee the activities of the USPP. At the moment, my most challenging task is to cultivate state parties across the US. Without them, the national party is essentially insolvent.
2) What is the pirate party?
The United States Pirate Party is a relatively new party in the U.S., currently undergoing a revival after having been founded a few years ago. We are similar in nature to the various pirate parties found internationally, though we differ somewhat in platform and formation.
3) What are the goals of the pirate party?
We are dedicated to protecting Americans' rights to privacy, freedom of information, reforming the patent and copyright systems, and ensuring government transparency.
4) What are some things you personally want to change about the government?
There are a great many things I could bring up in regards to changing in the government, so I'll keep it to my three greatest concerns: Transparency, privacy, and ballot reform. Firstly, transparency is required from our government in all but the most dire situations. President Obama seemed, at first, to be promising in this regard, but again and again since he took office, he has proven that hope to be ill-placed. ACTA is hidden from FOIA requests, more light is not shed about torture tecniques, and numerous bills, most memorably the recent health care reform, are not brought to light for the promised number of days--how is this transparency?
My second qualm, privacy, is boiled down very simply--as technology grows, so does the ability to invade the privacy of citizens for the sake of a potential safeguard. This route is far from affective in its proposed function. We should take the time to find more effective ways to reduce crime without invading the privacy of law-abiding citizens. Not doing so is to treat each and every American as a criminal without a trial.
And, thirdly, ballot access. While not necessarily a plank of our platform, it is a challenge that the USPP will have to face early on. There is a long standing idea that the United States has two political parties, and that's it, end of story. I can't help but wonder of these people--do you think that the country was founded between these two parties alone? We are a nation of many people, with many ideas and many opinions. To try and simply this to a black and white dichotomy does a disservice to the nation and its people. There are shades of grey.
5) How did you get involved with the party?
I got involved last fall after hearing of the success of our European counterparts in their elections. I was certain that someone had started a pirate party in the U.S., but was surprised that I hadn't heard about it already, so I went looking. And here I am.
6) Do you think you have a chance against other parties?
I have no disillusions about it being difficult, but I am convinced that we have the capability to do so, yes. Furthermore, I welcome the challenge.
7) If you could change anything right this second about the government what would it be?
I think if I had the opportunity to change anything, it would be one of the three that I covered in question 4. I'm inclined to say ballot access, considering the immediate impact it would have for the USPP and other smaller parties, but transparency and privacy would be close contenders.
8) Could you take this test, and let us know where you stand on the political spectrum? http://www.theadvocates.org/quizp/index.html
After taking the test, I got a 60%/40%, which put me just inside the zone for a "Centrist". Sounds about right.
9) Anything else you want to add?
Just today we launched a new website, as part of our effort to restart the movement in the United States, so I invite all who read this to waltz on over to pirate-party.us and take a look. Thanks for reading!
Thank you for your time!

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Jared Cartwright, Ph.D., head of protein production at the technology facility at York University, discussed the integration of the Micro 24 and the Appliflex single-use bioreactor in baculovirus experiments. At York, this system is used for parallel expression screening so that 10–50 mg samples can be obtained for customers' structural biology needs in protein target and biocatalysis work.
Insect-cell production involves infecting the cells with the Autographa californica multiple polyhedral virus. The York team has been using the flashBAC system to improve its transfer vectors and can now produce recombinant baculovirus—but it still wants to screen and optimize protein expression.
One issue in this work is how adherent and suspension cell culture compare. The team has found found the best results when it optimizes in suspension, rather than adherent, culture, using the Micro 24 system. "This gives us near direct scale-up conditions we can work with," Dr. Cartwright said. He added that multiplicity of infection (MOI) is very important.
Tiffany Rau, Ph.D., principal scientist, microbial and cell culture development at GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), described validation of scale up and the incorporation of the Micro 24 screening reactor in process development, which was, traditionally, all done in shake flasks.
"We were finding issues, and we needed a better way of screening cell lines." For instance, an apparently low titer clone in shake flasks can become a winner in the bioreactor, so good cell lines may be thrown away. The reverse may happen, with those cell lines that are great in shake flasks not being good in process optimization.
Now GSK process development scientists screen in a controlled environment and then identify those clones that respond to feed earlier. Investigation of design space, pH, temperature, and oxygen in the system is a big part of tech transfer. "We are redefining how we do cell-line selection using microreactors, to carry out rank ordering of clones."
The Micro 24 can also be used for troubleshooting—for instance with clones that have growth issues in shake flasks. The microreactor is used to see if oxygen and pH control helped, which cannot easily be done in a shake-flask system. pH issues are therefore more easily identified using the microreactor. According to Dr. Rau, more process factors can be investigated with the microreactor and, in the future, GSK will be implementing them in cell-line selection.
Andreas Schneider, Ph.D., director, global sales at Innovatis, now part of Roche, described how to keep up with sample analysis from high-throughput screening systems. In 2005, Innovatis began looking into online monitoring of many parameters, like optical density and pH, but in some cases it could not readily measure cell count or metabolites. Then, working with Bayer, it developed the BaychroMAT®, which is a steam-sterilized sample port for auto sampling.

A smoking UTESIL that someone blows thru to dillute the smell of weed going into the air. FOR EXAMPLE, after you take a hit of weed you would blow the rip through a plastic bottle or an empty toilet paper roll stuffed with any brand of fabric softner (ie. Bounty, Bounce, Snuggle, etc.) inside of the bottle or roll. Thus filtering the smoke and turning the smell of weed to fresh laundry!

Policies for weddings conducted at
Lutheran Church of the Cross
Premarital Counseling. There will be schedule of meetings with the pastor to not only talk about your wedding about of equal importance is the discussion of the marriage relationship. If you live in another part of the country and cannot meet with the pastor, you will meet with a local pastor or social service agency for your premarital counseling.
Music. Weddings are worship services during which a couple exchange their promises of marriage and begin living together in the gift that God has given to them called marriage! We believe couples want their weddings to reflect the timeless beauty of the love they have for each other. Musical choices for various parts of the worship service are planned with the church organist who has access to a variety of music and the experience to know what works at what place in the service. If there is any question about the appropriateness of a musical selection please discuss the selection with the pastor. If secular songs that have meaning for the couple are to be used, we suggest they be sung/played before the processional as people are being seated.
If someone other than the church organist is playing for the wedding, please have that person call the pastor in regards to the selection procedure for music.
Photography. Since weddings are worship services and the intent is to retain the sacred character of the occasion we ask both professional and amateur (e.g. aunts and uncles) to refrain from taking flash pictures once the ceremony has begun. Please know that after the ceremony the wedding party and the pastor are available for pictures. Videotaping may be done from an unobtrusive, fixed location. The pastor will assist photographers by showing them the appropriate locations and where they are allowed to stand in order to take pictures. The overall philosophy is that the wedding ceremony is a worship service and not to be disrupted by inappropriate positioning of people taking pictures. If there are repeated difficulties with certain photography studios, they will not be allowed to photograph weddings at LCC.
Decorations. Live flowers can be purchased through the church for the vases on the pedestals on either side of the altar for approximately $60. If your wedding takes place on a Saturday and you would like to leave them for Sunday morning, your names are then listed in the bulletin as the couple who provided the flowers! Other floral designs and candelabras need to be approved by the pastor. Fresh flower petals cannot be thrown by a flower girl during the processional and there is no rice or birdseed allowed after the wedding. Candles should be dripless and adequate protection for furnishings and carpeting must be provided. Any expenses for damage will need to be covered by the families of the bride and groom.
Alcohol. There is no alcohol besides the communion wine in the sacristy allowed on the premises or on the grounds of the church buildings. If there are any difficulties in this regard the pastor can postpone the wedding at his discretion.
Smoking. There is no smoking allowed in any of the buildings of the church. If there are difficulties in this regard the pastor can postpone the wedding at his discretion.
Unity Candles. Often at weddings a unity candle is lit during the worship service to symbolize the couple's new life together. There are a number of options in regards to how the unity candle ceremony is performed. Sometimes mothers light the candles prior to the bridal party entering the worship area while at other times the couples light the tapers from the altar candles before lighting their unity candle. Please discuss this with the pastor as to how you want to do this aspect of the ceremony.
Unity candles, tapers, and candle stands are provided by the couple getting married.
Wedding Rehearsals. Most weddings require a rehearsal so that all people involved will feel more comfortable on the wedding day. The time for the rehearsal is usually 5:30 pm on the day prior to the wedding. At the rehearsal the wedding party walk through the ceremony to get a sense of what to expect at the ceremony. Musicians do not need to be present and the church organist is not present. Normally the rehearsal takes about one hour.
Bulletins. A printed order of service will be put together with the pastor. If you would like to have the church office personnel provide this, we are willing to assist you. If you would like to create this on your own, pastor has some examples to show you. If the wedding has fewer than 25 guests then a bulletin may or may not be appropriate.
Dressing Areas. There are two areas that can be used for dressing and preparing for the wedding. The pastor can show you those areas.
Ushers. Depending on number of guests expected we recommend that you have ushers (trained at the rehearsal) available to assist in conducting the ceremony by seating guests, distributing bulletins, and other possible tasks. We recommend one usher for every fifty guests (150 expected guests would mean three ushers).
Flower Girls, Ring Bearers, Junior Bridesmaids, etc. Please talk with pastor about age appropriate roles for young children. Any child under five should be seated during the ceremony and not expected to stand with the wedding party.

Pump failure causes wastewater overflow
A 1,900-gallon wastewater overflow occurred early Thursday morning near the intersection of South Kihei Road and Waimahaihai Street in Kihei due to a pump failure, the county Department of Environmental Management reported.
Wastewater flowed from Kihei No. 6 pump station to the grassy area in the adjacent Kihei Fire Station lot, the department said.
About 35 gallons of the overflow entered a storm sewer fronting the pump station on South Kihei Road, about 1,000 feet away from the ocean. Bacteriological analysis currently is being conducted, but the department said it was confident that the overflow did not reach the ocean.
There were no beach closures and the spill site on South Kihei Road was cleaned and disinfected, the department said.
The overflow started at 2:05 a.m. and was halted at 2:10 a.m. It was caused by a mechanical failure at Kihei No. 6 pump station, the department said.
The malfunction was corrected and the state Department of Health has been notified.
Man accused of assault with a bat
A Makawao man was arrested for assaulting and threatening another man with an aluminum baseball bat during a confrontation Wednesday morning at Paia Bay, police said.
Kalei Thomas, 28, was released after posting $2,000 bail on charges of first-degree assault and first-degree terroristic threatening.
The confrontation occurred at about 9:45 a.m. after a 55-year-old Kahului man had returned to his truck after fishing, said Lt. Jayson Rego of the Criminal Investigation Division. He said a man, later identified as Thomas, went to the bed of the truck and began rummaging through fish that the Kahului man had caught and placed in a cooler.
When the man confronted Thomas, he became belligerent and the two men argued, Rego said. He said that the argument turned physical, with Thomas running to his truck to get an aluminum baseball bat and hitting the victim with it.
The victim used a spear to defend himself, Rego said.
The victim refused medical treatment for bruises to the back of his head and upper back.
Man arrested after firing shotgun
A Waikapu man was arrested after he fired a shotgun in the air in his yard Monday night, police said.
Bail was set at $1,000 for Richard Taylor, 63, on a charge of first-degree reckless endangering.
He was arrested after police were called to his residence on West Makaukau Loop at 9:26 p.m., said Lt. Jayson Rego of the Criminal Investigation Division. He said police seized Taylor's firearms after he gave officers permission to search his residence.
Four of the guns seized weren't registered, Rego said. Taylor was released pending further investigation on unregistered firearm charges.
Student collecting items for shelter
For his senior project, a Kamehameha Schools Maui student will be collecting donations for the Women Helping Women shelter from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at Longs in Pukalani.
Aaren Soriano is seeking toiletries, laundry soap, cooking supplies and other items for victims of domestic violence and their children at the shelter. For a more complete list, go to the website www.womenhelpingwomenmaui.com/get-involved/our-wish-list.

Feds ask to interview wife of dead bombing suspect
PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Federal authorities have asked to speak with the wife of suspected Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, and her lawyer said he is discussing with them how to proceed.
Amato DeLuca told the Associated Press on Sunday that Katherine Russell Tsarnaev did not speak to federal officials who came to her parents' home in North Kingstown, R.I., Sunday evening, where she has been staying since her husband was killed during a getaway attempt early Friday.
Tsarnaev, 26, and his brother, Dzhokhar, 19, two ethnic Chechen brothers from southern Russia, are accused of planting two explosives near the marathon finish line last Monday, killing three people and injuring more than 180. A motive remains unclear.
DeLuca said he spoke with the officials instead, but would not offer further details.
"I spoke to them, and that's all I can say right now," he said. "We're deciding ... how we want to approach this."

Jerusalem, Israel -
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has Announced that Israel will release 1,027 Palestinian Prisoners in exchange for 1 IDF soldier, Gilad Schalit. Schalit was kidnapped by Palestinians over 1,900 days ago at the Kerem Shalom border crossing at the Gaza border with Egypt.
Previously Israel has tried desperately to gain Schalit's release, despite not even being sure if he was still alive, and had said they would trade "many many" Palestinians for his release. Egypt helped broker this deal as it has often done in the past on various security issues between Israel and the Palestinians.
The Jerusalem Post repots: "The Jewish people is a special people, responsible for one another," Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said at the opening of the cabinet meeting. "Our sages teach that those who save one Jewish life, it's as if they have saved an entire world. Today I am bringing a proposal for the saving of Gilad Schalit in order to bring him back, finally, after five years, to his home, to Israel."
Under the deal, which passed by a vote of 26-3 in favor in a cabinet vote, Israel will release about half upfront, then Palestinians will release Gilad Schalit, then Israel will release the remaining Palestinians, some of who are serving life sentences. The deal dictates some will go to Gaza, some to the West Bank, but some must leave Israeli and Palestinian lands forever.

Roker's Rocky Faith
Generally, "Today" show weatherman Al Roker is about as offensive as a bowl of Jell-O. But the portly personality -- promoting his new book about fatherhood, "Don't Make Me Stop This Car!" -- took his lumps from the 350,000-member Catholic League this week. The group has attacked Roker for remarks he has made on TV shows about how the fertility drug Pergonal, taken by his wife Deborah Roberts, is made "from the urine of menopausal nuns . . . that live in the Vatican," and that "it was cheaper to adopt a nun . . . and just have her pee in a cup." On Conan O'Brien last Tuesday, Roker said he should have recruited Sister Bertrille of "The Flying Nun." Catholic League president William Donohue issued a statement protesting "the coarseness of Al Roker's brand of humor . . . How much would it cost to rent a slave, he does not say." Confronted with Donohue's remarks by The Washington Post, Roker referred the paper to "my sixth-grade nun, Sister Manuella, who . . . can vouch for me."

Well I didn't quite mean it like that.
As has happened previously the functionality in the HEAD is not set in stone
and may be subject to change.
I'm aware of the 0.9.9 TLS extension efforts but I'm not currently actively
involved with them. I have a shed load of other things to do.

Along with stability an issue of primary importance is binary compatibility.
If the proposed change breaks binary compatibility in a stable branch that is
a very bad thing(TM).
It is also my understaning that existing applications would in any case need
to be modified to support TLS extensions.

Lewisburg's Ben Koch rallied from a third set break down to defeat Towanda's David Rodenhizer 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 in the District 4 Class AA singles championship Monday at the West Branch Tennis Club.
"I couldn't be prouder of the way I played today," said Koch. "Even though it was so long, it was probably one of the best matches I have ever played, and one of the most fun. It was amazing."
Koch had a hot serve at the onset of the match, smacking six aces in the first set. He also displayed a tenacious will to win early on, coming back from 0-30 deficit in the ninth game to help seal a 6-4 first set victory.

Ben Koch
However, as the match played on Koch's serve seemed to lose some steam. He dropped the second set 4-6, losing three out of the last four games.
"I think I kind of lost my composure with my serves, and after a few double-faults I told myself you either have to get the first serve in or you have to get more aggressive," Koch said.
But just as it seemed that all of the momentum had shifted to the No. 1 seed Rodenhizer, Koch began to battle back.
Down 2-0 in the match's final set, Koch began to play a more energetic brand of tennis.
"I think at the start of the third set he kind of started slow, and wasn't playing as aggressively as he was in the first set," Lewisburg's head coach Matt Barr said. "So for him to get back into that and start getting his feet moving helped him play on the ball a little more."
After going on a flurry Koch went up in the third set 4-2. However, Rodenhizer refused to hand Koch the match and went on a tear of his own, putting himself up 5-4 after the set's first nine games.
But with a 30-0 advantage in the 10th game of the final set, Rodenhizer's momentum seemed to fall apart. Koch battled back to win not only that game, but also the next two, sealing his District 4 championship title.
"Man I just wanted it so bad," Koch said. " I just had to pull it out, I had to."
Koch's victory came just a week after losing to Rodenhizer 6-4, 6-2 in the quarterfinals of the District 4 team tournament. Losing that match may have helped Koch though, as the Lewisburg senior seemed at ease on the court Monday.
"I learned a lot because I played my game today," Koch said. "Last week I played his game, and that is key."
In the semifinals earlier Monday, Koch beat Caleb Vuocolo of Loyalsock, 6-2, 6-0 and Rodenhizer beat Aaron Dillman of Wellsboro, 6-1, 6-0.
With a district title under his belt, Koch now turns his sights on Hershey for the PIAA Class AA Championships to be held on May 24.
"This is what we have been talking about for a couple weeks now," Barr said of Koch's victory. "It's his time and his chance to go and get it."

Five-year-old Alaina Daniels raced around the Ruth Patrick Science Education Center at USC Aiken Saturday – checking out the cool toys in the science store, space rocks and telescopes that made the moon come alive.
The Astronomy Club of Augusta hosted "Observe the Moon Night," an international event. Members showed a video of the Apollo 11 mission to the moon, while the Ruth Patrick Center staff opened its observatory. They also presented two other videos in the planetarium, including "Larry the Cat" and his own cartoon mission in space.
Connie Daniels of Aiken brought Alaina to the Ruth Patrick Center.
"I wanted to spend some quality time with my granddaughter, and this is very exciting for her," Daniels said. "She says now that she wants to be an astronaut. Maybe this will fuel that fire. It just stimulates kids' minds and gets them interested in new things."
The astronomy club has offered programs at Ruth Patrick for several years, said Dr. Gary Senn, the center director.
"We like to provide these kinds of evenings to encourage an interest in science, technology, engineering and math," he said. "Starting them at a young age is the way. The first-quarter moon tonight is the best for observing. You can't see as much detail with the full moon. Seeing the shadows brings a more three-dimensional look."
Stan Howard, a longtime member of the astronomy club, asked several basic astronomy questions to the young people and awarded prizes. Michael Axel, who has just moved to Martinez with his parents from upstate New York, knew all the answers, but gave way to let other students have a try.
"There were some observatories two hours south of us," Axel said. "I would go each summer for science camp and look at the three telescopes. It's all pretty interesting, and I stayed up until 1:30 a.m. to watch Curiosity land on Mars."
He and his dad Mike are delighted to find an observatory in the area. They plan to return to the Ruth Patrick Center on Oct. 13 for Science Education Enrichment Day.
Howard can relate to Michael's enthusiasm, having gotten the bug in the 1960s when a friend called him at 4 a.m. to watch a meteor shower.
"I enjoy star-viewing and basic astronomy," Howard said. "It's fun when people see Saturn for the first time, and it blows their socks off. It's the same thing with Jupiter. It's also special to have the international observe the moon night. People all over the world are looking tonight, more than at any other time. I feel a real camaraderie with that."

Now dont freak. Its very likely that a 16-foot-long, 3,456-pound great white shark didnt actually swim up to Daniel Island on Sunday.
Shark facts
The great white shark:The largest predatory fish on earth.One drop of blood in 25 gallons of water can be smelled by a great white from as far as three miles.15 feet, average adult length; specimens have been bigger than 20 feet and 5,000 pounds.Swim up to 15 mph.33 percent to 50 percent of 100-plus shark attacks each year are great whites. Most arent fatal. Sharks are naturally curious and will sample bite.Unknown, the number of great whites in the world. The sharks are considered endangered and in precipitous decline because of overfishing.National Geographic
But I have no doubts it was close to shore, said wildlife biologist Bryan Frazier, with S.C. Natural Resources Department. It might have stuck its head in the harbor.
The satellite tag ping from Mary Lee on Monday night put her back in the ocean off the Savannah River.
The ping that placed Mary Lee on top of Daniel Island was almost certainly an errant one, said Chris Berger, of Ocearch, the sportsman research group tracking the great white. Because the satellite can read the shark only while it shows its dorsal fin at the surface, and the satellite is orbiting, not all readings are considered accurate.
But the huge lion of the ocean evidently was close enough to Isle of Palms over the weekend that surfers who were warned didnt put in.
She was right at the surf zone edge (based on the pings). We all stayed out of the water, said Roberta Patrick of Sullivans Island.
The large, great white female was tagged in September off Cape Cod by Ocearch, a group trying to learn more about the little-known habitats of the apex predator of the seas, so people can be safer.
No sooner than Mary Lee was tagged, she made her way south, pausing for a short time off the Chesapeake Bay and apparently hunting at the Charleston Bump before making a beeline to the harbors mouth.
In autumn each year, sharks gather along the Charleston jetties to feed on large red drum making their way offshore. A 13-foot great white found on Morris Island in November 2008 had drum scales in its stomach.
Scary as it sounds, great white arent strangers to the Lowcountry, although they are rare.
They dont seem to stay put here. They appear to migrate along with other species to winter in Florida waters where they more commonly are found, said Mel Bell, DNR fisheries office director.
In fact, like right whales that are an occasional prey, Mary Lee might have been headed to Florida to give birth, Frazier said.
Relative to the West Coast, where surfers and kayakers have been attacked by great whites, the Lowcountry doesnt have that much to worry about, Bell said. There are no sea lions here. Sharks eat sea lions; paddlers resemble them when viewed in silhouette from below.
Were not something that sharks over here consider a prey item, Bell said.
There, feel better? Lets not talk about smooth dogfish and spiny dogfish two of the shark species that do winter here. In fact, Mary Lee also might have been following them to feed.

This great white shark was tagged with a tracking device in September off Cape Cod and was in the waters of the Lowcountry this weekend.×
This shark tracking map shows the great white shark "Mary Lee" may have made a port of call at Daniel Island over the weekend. Researcher's say the shark probably did not get that far inland, that the ping was a false one, but she was definitely close to our coast.×

Erie casino outpaces Cleveland's on slots
Presque Isle Downs & Casino again outpaced one of its chief rivals when it came to slot-machine wagers and revenue.
In June, the Erie casino had gross revenue of $11.8 million for its 1,705 slot machines, compared to gross revenue of $11.2 million at Horseshoe Casino Cleveland's 1,845 machines.
Gamblers wagered $151.5 million on slots at the Erie casino, compared to $141 million at Cleveland's casino.
The Cleveland casino, however, far outpaces the Erie casino in gross revenue on table games. Horseshoe Casino's revenue in June was $8.1 million from its 119 table games.
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board hasn't released the June table games report yet, but for May, the Erie casino had $1.3 million in revenue from its 46 table games.

Jarrett Barrios Invited a Bunch of Obama Appointees Over for Tea + Talking
THE SHOT — GLAAD chief Jarrett Barrios kicks the Equality Forum panel in Philadelphia, whose guests are are: Jeremy Bernard (a director at the National Endowment for the Humanities, and big-time Obama campaign fundraiser), Brian Bond (the White House's Office of Public Engagement deputy director), Jenn Jones (an adviser at the Department of Housing and Urban Development), and Kevin Naff (DC Agenda/Washington Blade owner-editor). Follow along!
• Bond, who says Obama deserves credit for getting a DADT repeal moving forward, reveals the president will issue another LGBT memo
• Naff insists Obama, unwilling to take major risks, doesn't get to call himself our "fierce advocate"
[photo via]
Repealing DADT is not a major risk. Far from it. About 70% of Americans support it's repeal, and even a majority of conservatives support its repeal. That's about as close to a consensus as you will ever get in America. Not only is there no risk in repealing it, with that sort of support, he will actually GAIN political capital.
The problem is that Obama and his circle have convinced themselves it's too big a risk because they listen to the scary Republicans who say that they will get really really angry if he does something for the gays. "Why, they might rise up and vote against Obama in the next election! And we don't want to awaken that sleeping giant. No, if we just ignore this issue and kick the can down the road a little further, we'll get those nasty Republicans to really start liking us and making our life so much easier."
So both speakers are wrong, but Kevin Neff is at least is closer to the truth.May 1, 2010 at 2:30 pm · @Reply ·
@randy: There are 45 US Senators against DADT Repeal because the majority of their constituents are anti-Gay. A "National Poll" doesn't account for the likes of Alabama and Oklahoma.
ohhhh, another memo. I can't wait.
Please read with all the sarcasm intended.
Perhaps 45 Senators are against DADT. That leaves 55, which is a majority. IF you want to make the bill filibuster proof, you just need five more, which, considering the fact that we have almost that many Democrats, shouldn't be too hard.
And if the worst comes and the Repubs filibuster, so what? It will just make them look very very bad with the majority of Americans.
@randy: We have 57 Democrats, but 7 or 8 of them are conservative. Which means we really have only 50 that are liberal/progressive and supportive of the LGBT Community.
With mid-terms approaching Republicans would love the opportunity to filibuster – it virtually guarantees them re-election (this time or next). In their State's any opposition to gays is welcomed and even celebrated. (Oklahoma, Texas, Alabama etc.)
Randy : Obama and Rahm are more afraid of pissing off African-American Democrats. That's why he left us out of that speech. He knows they don't want to be associated with gays, and his team needs AA votes this next time around.
"God is in the mix" is proof positive that Obama is truly a Bigot towards GLBT Americans. When was the last time God was consulted about equality? Slavery was also cited in the Bible – Would someone please ask Obama to surrender his rights as we know this bigot believes that "God is in the mix".
Well his white mother's ancestors were slave owners…..and his African dad? Nope.
We're not Slaves. Think he only lived in American for a few years when he went to Harvard.
He's also from East Africa and AA are descendants of West Africans.
Africa is HUGE.
East and West are v different people…say like Italians and Norwegians-VERY different temperaments..

The California/Carolina League All-Star Teams have been announced. The All-Stars are voted in by the League's General Managers, Team Managers, and Team Broadcasters/Media Personnel, so being voted in shows that you impressed the right people, who remembered you specifically as a player. This year, the Mariners Class-A Advanced Affiliate, High Desert Mavericks, will be sending two players to Municipal Stadium in San Jose, California, for the All-Star Game. It would be three if one wasn't playing Double-A ball up in the Southern League. (All statistics current as of 6/10/12)
Jabari Blash, OF
Blash currently leads the California League in slugging percentage (.633) and is near the top of the leader boards in home runs (13), four of which came between 4/14 - 4/17. I wouldn't be surprised if Blash was a part of the Home Run Derby in San Jose as he can crank the ball. Jabari is a natural athlete and has a large stature (6-foot-5 and 225 lbs) that he uses to cover the outfield. He's batting below .300 at .291, making him the only Mavericks All-Star under the .300 mark, but his OPS is second on the team this season at 1.021. Blash has a little bit of a long swing and is striking out in 26% of his plate appearances which needs to be cut down... by a lot. However, this prospect has Major League talent and athleticism and should be expected to make more than a few appearances at Safeco Field in the coming years.
Ji-Man Choi, 1B (selected but not playing - in Double-A)
Choi is no longer with the Mavericks due to his call-up to Jackson on June 3rd, but while with the Mavericks, Choi lead the team and league in batting average and was among the tops in many other categories, too. Choi is second in the league only to Blash in slugging percentage (.619), and still leads the Cal League in doubles (24) and extra base hits (34). Over 55% of his 61 hits went for extra bases with the Mavs. Choi is ranked fourth in on-base percentage (.427), and has an OPS of 1.045. Choi is reaching base 42.6% of his plate appearances. The left-handed hitter is by far my favorite Mavericks player I've seen this season, and I have high hopes to see him in a Mariners jersey in the future.
Chris Taylor, SS
The Mariners sure do love these kids from the University of Virginia. While talking to John Hicks and Steven Proscia last season, they had quite a bit to say about Taylor and his talents, and I thought they were just tooting the Cavalier horn, but after watching the kid for myself, I realized they weren't kidding. Taylor is basically at the top of every league statistic, batting .333 (current league leader of active players) while scoring 57 runs (league leading). Taylor is in the league's top three in stolen bases (19), triples (6), total bases (126), and walks (41). To sum it all up, Taylor knows how to get on base, as he does so 43.4% of his plate appearances. His strikeouts were reasonably high, but he's progressively cut down as the season has gone on. From what I've seen, Taylor has a good glove. Obviously not as good as Brendan Ryan, but he could have a fighting chance to be a shortstop of the future for the Mariners.
The Carolina/California League All-Star game will be played June 18th at Municipal Stadium in San Jose, California. For those of you in the local area, go check out what talent is on its way for the future. The league is stacked with top prospects once again this season, and these Mariners prospects are among the best of the bunch.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of touchscreen technology specialist Synaptics (NASDAQ: SYNA ) climbed 15% today after its quarterly results and guidance topped Wall Street expectations.
So what: Synaptics' second-quarter results -- adjusted EPS of $0.53 on revenue of $143 million versus the consensus of $0.45 and $137.6 million, respectively -- and current-quarter outlook were so strong that analysts have no choice but to raise their price targets on the stock. Strong demand for the company's mobile phone touchscreen applications is helping offset continued weakness in its PC products segment, reinforcing recent optimism over its growth prospects going forward.
Now what: Management now sees third-quarter adjusted EPS of $0.50-$0.58 on revenue of $140 million-$148 million, well ahead of Wall Street's view of $0.40 and $133.5 million. "Based on our strong product line-up, Synaptics is executing very well across our key markets, and we believe our ongoing technology road map positions us for continued success across future product generations," CEO Rick Bergman said. Of course, with the stock now up about 60% over the past three months alone, I'd wait for some of the excitement to fade before betting on that bull talk.
