Welcome to Aligned Flow!
I began practicing yoga and therapeutic massage in 1999. As these practices grew up together, I have had the opportunity to work with athletes of many backgrounds as well as people just wanting to feel healthy and resilient in everyday life. It is my highest hope to serve you in helping to create awareness around the physical postures, breathing patterns, and choices that do not serve your ultimate goals so that you can continue to do the sports and activities that you love with purpose.
Aligned Flow® is an 8 limbed approach to the practice of yoga. Pantanjali's 8 limbs cover the facets of internal and external observances on and off the mat, postures, breathing practice, and meditation which lead to a greater connection to a higher version of Self and to the Divine. The physical practice, instruction, and teacher training are based on therapeutic Iyengar inspired alignment combined with the heat build flowing-with-the-breath sequencing of Vinyasa. Classes include asana (postures), pranayama (breathing techniques), and meditation. These practical components can be combined and applied to teach gentle/restorative, therapeutic, alignment based vinyasa, as well as heated flow classes from beginner level up to as advanced as your personal practice will support.

After being frustrated by questionable decisions from the officials in their Europa League Round of 32 clash against Metalist Kharkiv Thursday night, Newcastle United now have seven days to prepare for the second leg in Ukraine, as their early exit from the FA Cup means there is no weekend fixture for the Magpies.
But how should manager Alan Pardew use the weekend off?
Is it a case of resting ahead of the task of juggling domestic and European action for the remainder of the season?
Or is it fine tuning some key areas which could prove the difference at the end of the campaign?
Here are four ways the Newcastle team could benefit from their extended rest this weekend.

Every time I take my son there we have to wait for him to arrive! He is usually anywhere from 1-2 hours late. Then when you do get to see him, he will say hi to my son and then me and shake my hand. Never talks another word to my son. Then he is very rushy and interrupts you while your trying to talk. Doesn't listen then get agitated when he makes a mistake and blames it on me. Insisting I told him the wrong thing. He stopped threw his pen on the counter and accused me of having an attitude and stated I didn't travel 2 hours to put up with ur attitude. I responded by I am answering ur questions and u are the one yelling at me. All of this happened in front of my child. I will be looking into another doctor for my child! Dr. Leigdo is very rude and inconsiderate of your time! Would not recommend!!!!!!
First visit was great - little wait time, good discussion. Follow-up visits had waits over 1hr & Legido was very dismissive of ANY concerns expressed by parents. Looked down on us as if we couldn't know anything b/c we aren't him. Just wanted us to be quiet, give medication & not come back.
Was really hoping that Dr. Legido would exercise this Expertise & knowledge that has been boasted about. I unfortunately saw none. We've always waiting at LEAST one hour JUST to have vitals checked and then crammed into a stuffy back room. After being seen by either an intern or one of his colleagues, Dr. Legido would hastily pop in with an "Alright let's get this over with" attitude and literally it'd be over in about 6 minutes. Sent home once again with a new RX and "plan". I've never received a follow-up call, email, letter, nada! I'm very disappointed to say the least. Moving forward....
One of the most agresive doctors you will meet. If you want your child on medicine and at high doses for long periods of time with him only guessing what this will do, go to him. If you want a doctor who will not listen to your concerns or to your educated questions, go to him.If you ask him why are we doing this and his response is I know what I am doing you do not, go to him.

The University of Louisville women's basketball team made a dramatic run to the NCAA Tournament national championship game last month.
The Cardinals lost to Connecticut in the NCAA National Championship game and return most of the team for next season. Several early preseason polls have the Cardinals ranked in the top 10 heading into next season.
Two players who will provide help next season are current freshmen Megan Deines and Cortnee Walton. Both played key minutes throughout this season but expect a greater role on the roster next season.
"They're going to have to step up," U of L coach Jeff Walz said. "They're both very good players and they're only going to get better and better. They'll be more comfortable after being here for a year and yeah, we expect a lot from them."
The two players arrived at U of L last summer but both said it was a tough process to make the transition from high school to college ball, especially playing at the level the Cardinals' are at in the Big East Conference.
"We just have to get in the gym and work on our game," Walton said. "I want to contribute even more next year, so I know I have to work that much harder.
Added Deines: "We set the bar pretty high for the next couple of years as a team. We'll just keep working hard and doing whatever coach says."
The 6-foot-3 Walton is from Surprise, Ariz., and played in 33 games for the Cardinal this season, averaging 2.8 points and 2.5 rebounds in 11.9 minutes a game.
Walton scored a career high 12 points against Wagner in early December and had seven rebounds against Georgetown in February. She played 17 key minutes – without a point – but had four rebounds and played solid defense in the stunning upset of No. 1 Baylor and All-American Brittney Griner in the NCAA.
"With me, I think it's mostly just confidence," Walton said. "I need to be more confidence taking care of the ball and I need to get stronger.
"It's just the little things to make me better."
The 6-foot-1 Deines is from Springfield, Mo., and actually started the first 15 games of the season for the Cardinals. She then came off the bench the rest of the season and played in 37 of the 38 games for the Cardinals.
A three-point shooter, Deines hit 20 of 64 from long-range and averaged 4.9 points a game in 15.8 minutes a contest. She had a career-high 19 points against Wagner and she made four three-pointers in a win over Gonzaga.
"Obviously, I need to keep working on my three's," Deines said. "I heard a lot from coach that I stand up too much (on defense), so I need to work on getting lower. I think just being more aggressive overall."
Both players noted making it to the title game in their first season was special, while Deines said the team has lofty goals from here on out.
"The whole experience was crazy," Deines said. "You get a feel for what it's like, so now we're going to keep working hard and hopefully see this again."

Facebook fails on costly posts
Published 16/11/2012 | 18:00
When Facebook released a promotional video in October that, among other things compared their service to a chair, there was much derisory howling and lots of parody ads. Yet, perhaps we shouldn't be laughing so hard. Facebook seems to think it's as important as the basic functional thing you're sitting on.
To that end, Facebook's business model is to let you in, get you hooked and then slowly start to implement features that will make them money to justify their public offering.
Their recent Promoted Posts feature is indicative of that. It offered all users the ability to promote their posts or pages for a small fee to the people inside or outside their network. By doing so, they could ensure everyone that liked their page or was a friend would see that status update.
Facebook updates don't get seen by everyone, they never really have. Facebook's Edgerank algorithm supposedly deals with the problem of giving you news from your friends, not noise. Facebook say that by default only 15pc of users will see a status. But unrest is growing that Facebook have been reducing the reach of pages for some time.
The general consensus is that it's a squeeze and it hurts people who don't have huge revenues to play with: bloggers, internet personalities, writers, musicians and artists. DangerousMinds.net calculated that to reach 100pc of their 50k page audience, they'd have to pay $672,000 per year.
As The Rubberbandits tweeted last week: "270,000 Facebook fans and unless we pay a grand each time we post, only 10pc can see it. Bad form Facebook. Crushing the independent artist."
While there's some dispute about how calculated this reach reduction is and whether it's always been in place, the fact remains that if a large proportion of people who are using Facebook believe it is, then that's adding to the number of disgruntled users. It's a reminder that Zuckerberg and co are in charge at Facebook, so you, your friends, your family and businesses are playing by their rules.

Maple Fellow
Dr. Robert J. Lopez, Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana, USA, is an award winning educator in mathematics and is the author of several books including Advanced Engineering Mathematics (Addison-Wesley 2001). For over two decades, Dr. Lopez has also been a visionary figure in the introduction of Maplesoft technology into undergraduate education. Dr. Lopez earned his Ph.D. in mathematics from Purdue University, his MS from the University of Missouri - Rolla, and his BA from Marist College. He has held academic appointments at Rose-Hulman (1985-2003), Memorial University of Newfoundland (1973-1985), and the University of Nebraska - Lincoln (1970-1973). His publication and research history includes manuscripts and papers in a variety of pure and applied mathematics topics. He has received numerous awards for outstanding scholarship and teaching.
The Saturday edition of our local newspaper (Waterloo Region Record) carries, as part of The PUZZLE Corner column, a weekly puzzle "STICKELERS" by Terry Stickels. Back on December 13, 2014, the puzzle was:
What number comes next?
1 4 18 96 600 4320 ?
The solution given was the number 35280, obtained by setting k = 1 in the general term k⋅k!.
On September 5, 2015, the column contained the puzzle:
2 3 3 5 10 13 39 43 172 177 ?
The proposed solution was the number 885, obtained as a10 from the recursion
where a0 =2.
As a youngster, one of my uncles delighted in teasing me with a similar question for the sequence 36, 9, 50, 55, 62, 71, 79, 18, 20. Ignoring the fact that there is a missing entry between 9 and 50, the next member of the sequence is "Bay Parkway," which is what 22nd Avenue is actually called in the Brooklyn neighborhood of my youth. These are subway stops on what was then called the West End line of the subway that went out to Stillwell Avenue in Coney Island.
Armed with the skepticism inspired by this provincial chestnut, I looked at both of these puzzles with the attitude that the "next number" could be anything I chose it to be. After all, a sequence is a mapping from the (nonnegative) integers to the reals, and unless the mapping is completely specified, the function values are not well defined.
Indeed, for the first puzzle, the polynomial f(x) interpolating the points
(0, 1), (1, 4), (2, 18), (3, 93), (4, 600), (5, 4320)
reproduces the first six members of the given sequence, and gives 18593 (not 35280) for f(7). In other words, the pattern k⋅k! is not a unique representation of the sequence, given just the first six members. The worksheet NextNumber derives the interpolating polynomial f and establishes that f(n) is an integer for every nonzero integer n.
Likewise, for the second puzzle, the polynomial g(x) interpolating the points
(1, 2) ,(2, 3) ,(3, 3) ,(4, 5) ,(5, 10) ,(6, 13) ,(7, 39) ,(8, 43), (9, 172) ,(10, 177)
reproduces the first ten members of the given sequence, and gives -7331(not 885) for g(11). Once again, the pattern proposed as the "solution" is not unique, given that the worksheet NextNumber contains both g(x) and a proof that for integer n, all values of g(n) are integers.
The upshot of these observations is that without some guarantee of uniqueness, questions like "what is the next number" are meaningless. It would be far better to pose such challenges with the words "Find a pattern for the given members of the following sequence" and warn that the function capturing that pattern might not be unique.
I leave it to the interested reader to prove or disprove the following conjecture: Interpolate the first n terms of either sequence. The interpolating polynomial p will reproduce these n terms, but for k>n, p(k) will differ from the corresponding member of the sequence determined by the stated patterns. (Results of limited numerical experiments are consistent with the truth of this conjecture.)

In a recent blog post, I found a single rotation that was equivalent to a sequence of Givens rotations, the underlying message being that teaching, learning, and doing mathematics is more effective and efficient when implemented with a tool like Maple. This post has the same message, but the medium is now the Householder reflection.
Given the vector x = , the Householder matrix H = I - 2 uuT reflects x to y = Hx, where I is the appropriate identity matrix, u = (x - y) / ||x - y|| is a unit normal for the plane (or hyperplane) across which x is reflected, and y necessarily has the same norm as x. The matrix H is orthogonal but its determinant is -1, making it a reflection instead of a rotation.
Starting with x and u, H can be constructed and the reflection y calculated. Starting with x and y, u and H can be determined. But what does any of this look like? Besides, when the Householder matrix is introduced as a tool for upper triangularizing a matrix, or for putting it into upper Hessenberg form, a recipe such as the one stated in Table 1 is the starting point.
In other words, the recipe in Table 1 reflects x to a vector y in which all entries below the kth are zero. Again, can any of this be visualized and rendered more concrete? (The chair who hired me into my first job averred that there are students who can learn from the general to the particular. Maybe some of my classmates in graduate school could, but in 40 years of teaching, I've never met one such student. Could that be because all things are known through the eyes of the beholder?)
In the attached worksheet, Householder matrices that reflect x = <5, -2, 1> to vectors y along the coordinate axes are constructed. These vectors and the reflecting planes are drawn, along with the appropriate normals u. In addition, the recipe in Table 1 is implemented, and the recipe itself examined. If you look at the worksheet, I believe you will agree that without Maple, the explorations shown would have been exceedingly difficult to carry out by hand.

This post describes how Maple was used to investigate the Givens rotation matrix, and to answer a simple question about its behavior. The "Givens" part is the medium, but the message is that it really is better to teach, learn, and do mathematics with a tool like Maple.
The question: If Givens rotations are used to take the vector Y = <5, -2, 1> to Y2 = , about what axis and through what angle will a single rotation accomplish the same thing?
The Givens matrix G21 takes Y to the vector Y1 =, and the Givens matrix G31 takes Y1 to Y2. Graphing the vectors Y, Y1, and Y2 reveals that Y1 lies in the xz-plane and that Y2 is parallel to the x-axis. (These geometrical observations should have been obvious, but the typical usage of the Givens technique to "zero-out" elements in a vector or matrix obscured this, at least for me.)
The matrix G = G31 G21 rotates Y directly to Y2; is the axis of rotation the vector W = Y x Y2, and is the angle of rotation the angle between Y and Y2? To test these hypotheses, I used the RotationMatrix command in the Student LinearAlgebra package to build the corresponding rotation matrix R. But R did not agree with G. I had either the axis or the angle (actually both) incorrect.
The individual Givens rotation matrices are orthogonal, so G, their product is also orthogonal. It will have 1 as its single real eigenvalue, and the corresponding eigenvector V is actually the direction of the axis of the rotation. The vector W is a multiple of <0, 1, 2> but V = <a, b, 1>, where . Clearly, W V.
The rotation matrix that rotates about the axis V through the angle isn't the matrix G either. The correct angle of rotation about V turns out to be
the angle between the projections of Y and Y2 onto the plane orthogonal to V. That came as a great surprise, one that required a significant adjustment of my intuition about spatial rotations. So again, the message is that teaching, learning, and doing mathematics is so much more effective and efficient when done with a tool like Maple.
A discussion of the Givens rotation, and a summary of the actual computations described above are available in the attached worksheet, What Gives with Givens.mw.
I have two linear algebra texts [1, 2] with examples of the process of constructing the transition matrix that brings a matrix to its Jordan form . In each, the authors make what seems to be arbitrary selections of basis vectors via processes that do not seem algorithmic. So recently, while looking at some other calculations in linear algebra, I decided to revisit these calculations in as orderly a way as possible.
First, I needed a matrix with a prescribed Jordan form. Actually, I started with a Jordan form, and then constructed via a similarity transform on . To avoid introducing fractions, I sought transition matrices with determinant 1.
Let's begin with , obtained with Maple's JordanBlockMatrix command.
Tools_Load Package: Linear Algebra

The eigenvalue has algebraic multiplicity 6. There are sub-blocks of size 3×3, 2×2, and 1×1. Consequently, there will be three eigenvectors, supporting chains of generalized eigenvectors having total lengths 3, 2, and 1. Before delving further into structural theory, we next find a transition matrix with which to fabricate .
The following code generates random 6×6 matrices of determinant 1, and with integer entries in the interval . For each, the matrix is computed. From these candidates, one is then chosen.
After several such trials, the matrix was chosen as
for which the characteristic and minimal polynomials are
So, if we had started with just , we'd now know that the algebraic multiplicity of its one eigenvalue is 6, and there is at least one 3×3 sub-block in the Jordan form. We would not know if the other sub-blocks were all 1×1, or a 1×1 and a 2×2, or another 3×3. Here is where some additional theory must be invoked.
The null spaces of the matrices are nested: , as depicted in Figure 1, where the vectors , are basis vectors.
Figure 1 The nesting of the null spaces
The vectors are eigenvectors, and form a basis for the eigenspace . The vectors , form a basis for the subspace , and the vectors , for a basis for the space , but the vectors are not yet the generalized eigenvectors. The vector must be replaced with a vector that lies in but is not in . Once such a vector is found, then can be replaced with the generalized eigenvector , and can be replaced with . The vectors are then said to form a chain, with being the eigenvector, and and being the generalized eigenvectors.
If we could carry out these steps, we'd be in the state depicted in Figure 2.
Figure 2 The null spaces with the longest chain determined
Next, basis vector is to be replaced with , a vector in but not in , and linearly independent of . If such a is found, then is replaced with the generalized eigenvector . The vectors and would form a second chain, with as the eigenvector, and as the generalized eigenvector.
Define the matrix by the Maple calculation
and note
The dimension of is 3, and of , 5. However, the basis vectors Maple has chosen for do not include the exact basis vectors chosen for .
We now come to the crucial step, finding , a vector in that is not in (and consequently, not in either). The examples in are simple enough that the authors can "guess" at the vector to be taken as . What we will do is take an arbitrary vector in and project it onto the 5-dimensional subspace , and take the orthogonal complement as .
A general vector in is
A matrix that projects onto is
The orthogonal complement of the projection of Z onto is then . This vector can be simplified by choosing the parameters in Z appropriately. The result is taken as .
The other two members of this chain are then
A general vector in is a linear combination of the five vectors that span the null space of , namely, the vectors in the list . We obtain this vector as
A vector in that is not in is the orthogonal complement of the projection of ZZ onto the space spanned by the eigenvectors spanning and the vector . This projection matrix is
The orthogonal complement of ZZ, taken as , is then
Replace the vector with , obtained as
The columns of the transition matrix can be taken as the vectors , and the eigenvector . Hence, is the matrix
Proof that this matrix indeed sends to its Jordan form consists in the calculation
The bases for , are not unique. The columns of the matrix provide one set of basis vectors, but the columns of the transition matrix generated by Maple, shown below, provide another.
I've therefore added to my to-do list the investigation into Maple's algorithm for determining an appropriate set of basis vectors that will support the Jordan form of a matrix.

A wealth of knowledge is on display in MaplePrimes as our contributors share their expertise and step up to answer others' queries. This post picks out one such response and further elucidates the answers to the posted question. I hope these explanations appeal to those of our readers who might not be familiar with the techniques embedded in the original responses.
Before I begin, a quick note that the content below was primarily created by one of our summer interns, Pia, with guidance and advice from me.
The Question: Rearranging the expression of equations
SY G wanted to be able to re-write an equation in terms of different variables. SY G presented this example:
I have the following two equations:
x1 = a-y1-d*y2;x2 = a-y2-d*y1;
I wish to express the first equation in terms of y1 and x2, so that
x1 = c - b*y1+d*x2;
where c=a-a*d and b=1-d^2. How can I get Maple to rearrange the original equation x1 in term of y1, x2, c and b?
This question was answered by nm who provided code with a systematic approach:
On the other hand, Carl Love answered this enquiry using a more direct and simple code:
simplify(x1=a-y1-d*y2, {a-y2-d*y1= x2, 1-d^2= b, a-a*d= c});
Let's talk more about the expand, algsubs, subs, and simplify commands
First let's take a look at the method nm used to solve the problem using the commands expand, subs, solve and algsubs.
The expand command, expand(expr, expr1, expr2, ..., exprn), distributes products over sums. This is done for all polynomials. For quotients of polynomials, only sums in the numerator are expanded; products and powers are left alone.
The solve command, solve(equations, variables), solves one or more equations or inequalities for their unknowns.
The subs command, subs(x=a,expr), substitutes a for x in the expression expr.
The function algsubs, algsubs(a = b, f),performs an algebraic substitution, replacing occurrences of a with b in the expression f. It is a generalization of the subs command, which only handles syntactic substitution.
Let's tackle the Maple code written by nm step by step:
1) restart; The restart command is used to clear Maple's internal memory
2) eq1:=x1=a-y1-d*y2: eq2:=x2=a-y2-d*y1: The names eq1 and eq2 were assigned to the equations SY G provided.
3) z:=expand(subs(y2=solve(eq2,y2),eq1)): A new variable, z, was created, which will end up being x1 written in the terms SY G wanted.
4) z:=algsubs((a-a*d)=c,z): First, nm equated a-a*d to c, so later the algsubs command could be applied to substitute the new variable c into the expression z.
5) algsubs((1-d^2)=b,z); Again, nm equated 1-d^2 to b, so later the algsubs command could be applied to substitute the new variable b into the expression z.
An alternate approach
Now let us check out Carl Love's approach. Carl Love uses the simplify command in conjunction with side relations.
The simplify command has many calling sequences and one of them is the simplify(expr,eqns), that is known as simplify/siderels. A simplification of expr with respect to the side relations eqns is performed. The result is an expression which is mathematically equivalent toexpr but which is in normal form with respect to the specified side relations. Basically you are telling Maple to simplify the expression (expr) using the parameters (eqns) you gave to it.
I hope that you find this useful. If there is a particular question on MaplePrimes that you would like further explained, please let me know.
The Question: Source Code of Math Apps
Eberch, a new Maple user, was interested in learning how to build his own Math Apps by looking at the source code of some of the already existing Math Apps that Maple offers.
Acer helpfully suggested that he look into the Startup Code of a Math App, in order to see definitions of procedures, modules, etc. He also recommended Eberch take a look at the "action code" that most of the Math Apps have which consist of function calls to procedures or modules defined in the Startup Code. The Startup Code can be accessed from the Edit menu. The function calls can be seen by right-clicking on the relevant component and selecting Edit Click Action.
Acer's answer is correct and helpful. But for those just learning Maple, I wanted to provide some additional explanation.
Let's talk more about building your own Math Apps
Building your own Math Apps can seem like something that involves complicated code and rare commands, but Daniel Skoog perfectly portrays an easy and straightforward method to do this in his latest webinar. He provides a clear definition of a Math App, a step-by-step approach to creating a Math App using the explore and quiz commands, and ways to share your applications with the Maple community. It is highly recommended that you watch the entire webinar if you would like to learn more about the core concepts of working with Maple, but you can find the Math App information starting at the 33:00 mark.
MaplePrimes member Thomas Dean wanted 1/2*x^(1/2) + 1/13*x^(1/3) + 1/26*x^(45/37) to become 0.5*x^0.500000 + 0.07692307692*x^0.333333 + 0.03846153846*x^1.216216216 using the evalf command.
Here you can see the piece of code that Thomas Dean wrote in Maple:
eq:=1/2*x^(1/2) + 1/13*x^(1/3) + 1/26*x^(45/37); evalf(eq);
Carl Love replied simply and effectively with a piece of code, using the evalindets command instead:
evalindets(eq, fraction, evalf);
As always, Love provided an accurate response, and it is absolutely correct. But for those just learning Maple, I wanted to provide some additional explanation.
The evalindets command, evalindets( expr, atype, transformer, rest ), is a particular combination of calls to eval and indets that allows you to efficiently transform all subexpressions of a given type by some algorithm. It encapsulates a common "pattern" used in expression manipulation and transformation.
Each subexpression of type atype is transformed by the supplied transformer procedure. Then, each subexpression is replaced in the original expression, using eval, with the corresponding transformed expression.
Note: the parameter restis an optional expression sequence of extra arguments to be passed to transformer. In this example it was not used.
The Question: why is 2*cos(x)^2-1 simpler than 1-2*sin(x)^2
The author, nm, asked why 2*cos(x)^2-1 was simpler than 1-2*sin(x)^2 according to Maple. nm wrote:
I looked at help trying to understand why Maple thinks 2*cos(x)^2-1 is simpler than 1-2*sin(x)^2 but did not see it. I was expecting to see cos(2*x) as a result.
Preben Alsholm answered nm's question by recommending the use of the combine command to obtain the result he was expecting to see, as well as a further explanation on how the simplify command works. Alsholm wrote:
Use combine to obtain what you want: combine(1-2*sin(x)^2); simplify has a general preference for cos over sin. That doesn't mean however, that it turns sin into cos at all costs: simplify(sin(x)); ##Try also simplify(1-2*sin(x)^2,size); simplify doesn't necessarily get you the simplest result in the common sense of the word 'simplify'. Try as another example expand((x+y)^3); simplify(%); factor(%);
As always, Alsholm provided an accurate, thoughtful response. But for those just learning Maple, I thought some additional explanation could be helpful.
Let's talk more about the simplify command and combine function
The simplify command applies simplification rules to an expression. Its parameters can be any expression.
The combine function applies transformations which combine terms in sums, products, and powers into a single term. For many functions, the transformations applied by combine are the inverse of the transformations that are applied by expand. For example, consider the well-known identity:
sin(a + b) = sin(a) cos(b) + cos(a) sin(b)
The combine function applies the identity from right to left, whereas the expand function does the reverse.
I hope that you find this useful. If there is a particular question on MaplePrimes that you would like further explained, please feel free to contact me.
You are teaching linear algebra, or perhaps a differential equations course that contains a unit on first-order linear systems. You need to get across the notion of the eigenpair of a matrix, that is, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, what they mean, how are they found, for what are they useful.
Of course, Maple's Context Menu can, with a click or two of the mouse, return both eigenvalues and eigenvectors. But that does not satisfy the needs of the student: an answer has been given but nothing has been learned. So, of what use is Maple in this pedagogical task? How can Maple enhance the lessons devoted to finding and using eigenpairs of a matrix?
In this webinar I am going to demonstrate how Maple can be used to get across the concept of the eigenpair, to show its meaning, to relate this concept to the by-hand algorithms taught in textbooks.
Ah, but it's not enough just to do the calculations - they also have to be easy to implement so that the implementation does not cloud the pedagogic goal. So, an essential element of this webinar will be its Clickable format, free of the encumbrance of commands and their related syntax. I'll use a syntax-free paradigm to keep the technology as simple as possible while achieving the didactic goal.

Posted by ESPN.com's Tim Griffin
RENO, Nev. -- The promised offensive battle between two of the nation's four most prolific offenses hasn't materialized after one half as Texas Tech maintains a 14-9 halftime lead.
Both teams have struggled with mistakes. Tech was stopped on downs on its own 30 on its first possession and Graham Harrell was intercepted on the next drive.
Nevada struggled with three holding penalties, a blocked punt late in the first half and a critical sack that cost after they had a second-and-one at the Tech 4.
Here are some other items that caught my attention in the first half.
Nevada's offense has been more proficient than Tech's rolling up 243 yards on 95 yards rushing and 148 passing.
Nevada QB Colin Kaepernick might be one of the most underrated college quarterbacks. He reminds me of the poor man's Randall Cunningham the way he can run and roll out. He's kept the Red Raiders flummoxed by his rushing and passing skills, completing 15 of his first 19 attempts.
Nevada's own mistakes are the biggest reason the Wolf Pack are behind. Three holding calls bogged them down in the first half. They were forced to settle for a field goal after Tech DE Bront Bird's sack after they advanced to the Tech 4 midway through the second quarter.
Tech was struggling getting its passing game going. Harrell had several uncharacteristic bad passes and struggled hitting open receivers throughout the half. He finished the half by missing his final three passes as he hit only 10 of 25 passes for 119 yards.
Leaching Nevada rushing Luke Lippincott was carted off the field with his left knee injury early in the second quarter. That injury placed Vai Taua into the featured back, although Kaepernick became the focal point of the rushing attack with 42 yards on six carries.
Game officials had their own gaffe late in the first half after Lance Fuller had blocked a punt by Nevada's Brad Langley. Referee Jon Bible, a Big 12 official, originally ruled that Fuller had roughed the punter on the play before reversing his call.
Tech freshman kicker Donnie Carona struggles continued after his first two games. His 28-yard field goal attempt was blocked late in the first half. It was third blocked kick - two field goals and an extra point - in his short college career.

Beside the seaside, beside the sea
Greetings from storm tossed Cornwall rather than sun drenched Athens. We're down here visiting the lovely Ellen (see previous posts) and her mum and dad, Meg and Will. We had the luckiest of escapes this week. We were due to visit Boscastle. I fancied a pub lunch in the Cobweb, a wonderful pub that I haven't been in for nearly 20 years. I couldn't help remembering a holiday visit to a book shop/gift shop in the village. The man in the shop was selling signed copies of books by an author called Howard Jacobson. "Is he any good? " I asked the shop owner. "Excellent, one of the best writers I have ever read" said he. Years later I realised the bloke selling me the book was none other than the author himself. I wonder if he still owns the shop? Poor man. More later in the week.

2015: The Year In Review – NORML's Top 10 Events That Shaped Marijuana PolicyDecember 29, 2015
NORML reviews the top news stories of 2015.
#1 Congress Reauthorizes Medical Marijuana Protections
Members of Congress approved language in the fiscal year 2016 omnibus spending bill that continues to limit the federal government from taking punitive action against state-licensed individuals or operations that are acting are in full compliance with the medical marijuana laws of their states. The provisions reauthorize Section 538 of the Continuing Appropriations Act of 2015, which states, "None of the funds made available in this act to the Department of Justice may be used … to prevent … states … from implementing their own state laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession, or cultivation of medical marijuana."
#2 Federal Judge Upholds Marijuana's Schedule I Status
A federal judge in April rejected a motion challenging the constitutionality of cannabis' classification as a Schedule I prohibited substance. "At some point in time, a court may decide this status to be unconstitutional," Judge Kimberly Mueller said from the bench. "But this is not the court and not the time." Judge Meuller had presided over five days of hearings in October 2014 in a challenge brought by members of the NORML Legal Committee.
#3 Medical Cannabis Access Associated With Less Opioid Abuse
States that permit qualified patients to access medical marijuana via dispensaries possess lower rates of opioid addiction and overdose deaths, according to a study published in July by the National Bureau of Economic Research, a non-partisan think-tank. The findings mirror those published in 2014 in The Journal of the American Medical Association concluding, "States with medical cannabis laws had a 24.8 percent lower mean annual opioid overdose mortality rate compared with states without medical cannabis laws."
#4 DC Depenalizes Marijuana; Arrests Plummet
Despite threats from members of Congress, District officials implemented voter-approved legislation earlier this year eliminating penalties associated with the possession and cultivation of personal use quantities of marijuana by adults. Following the law's implementation, marijuana-related arrests in the nation's capital fell 99 percent.
#5 Marijuana Law Changes Don't Change Youth Use, Attitudes
Rates of youth marijuana use are unaffected by changing laws, according to data published in July in The American Journal of drug and Alcohol Abuse. Investigators evaluated trends in young people's attitudes toward cannabis and their use of the substance during the years 2002 to 2013 – a time period where 14 states enacted laws legalizing the medical use of the plant, and two states approved its recreational use by adults. "Our results may suggest that recent changes in public policy, including the decriminalization, medicalization, and legalization of marijuana in cities and states across the country, have not resulted in more use or greater approval of marijuana use among younger adolescents," researchers reported.
#6 Gallup Poll: More Americans Than Ever Say Marijuana Should Be Legal
Fifty-eight percent of Americans believe that "the use of marijuana should be made legal," according to nationwide survey data released in October by Gallup pollsters. The percentage ties the highest level of support ever reported by Gallup, which has been measuring Americans' attitudes toward cannabis since the late 1960s. The percentage is more than twice the level of support reported in the mid-1990s.
#7 Study: Marijuana Use Not Associated With Changes In Brain Morphology
Marijuana use is not associated with structural changes in the brain, according to imaging data published in January in The Journal of Neuroscience. Investigators assessed brain morphology in both daily adult and adolescent cannabis users compared to non-users. They found "no statistically significant differences … between daily users and nonusers on volume or shape in the regions of interest" after researchers controlled for participants' use of alcohol. "[T]he results indicate that, when carefully controlling for alcohol use, gender, age, and other variables, there is no association between marijuana use and standard volumetric or shape measurements of subcortical structures," researchers reported.
#8 Marijuana Consumers Less Likely To Be Obese, Suffer Diabetes Risk
Those who consume cannabis are 50 percent less likely to suffer from metabolic syndrome as compared to those who do not, according to findings published in November in The American Journal of Medicine. Metabolic syndrome is a group of risk factors, including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, unhealthy cholesterol levels, and abdominal fat, which are linked to increased risk of heart disease and adult onset diabetes, among other serious health consequences. The findings are similar to those of previous studies reporting that those who use cannabis are less likely to be obese or suffer from diabetes.
#9 NHTSA: THC-Positive Drivers Don't Possesses Elevated Crash Risk
Drivers who test positive for the presence of THC in their blood are no more likely to be involved in motor vehicle crashes than are drug-free drivers, according to a case-control study released in February by the United States National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration. Authors reported that drivers who tested positive for the presence of THC possessed an unadjusted, elevated risk of accident of 25 percent (Odds Ratio=1.25) compared to controls (drivers who tested negative for any drug or alcohol). However, this elevated risk became insignificant (OR=1.05) after investigators adjusted for demographic variables, such as the drivers' age and gender. The study is the largest of its kind ever conducted in the United States.
#10 Legal Marijuana States Collect Over $200 Million In New Tax Revenue
Taxes on the legal production and sale of cannabis in the states of Colorado and Washington have yielded over $200 million in new revenue since going into effect in 2014, according to calculations reported by The Huffington Post in September. Colorado collected more than $117 million dollars from marijuana sales while Washington collected over $83 million. Cannabis sales commenced in Oregon in on October 1, 2015 and have yet to begin in Alaska.
Gallup: Support For Legalizing Marijuana At Historic HighOctober 21, 2015
Fifty-eight percent of Americans believe that "the use of marijuana should be made legal," according to nationwide polling data released today by Gallup.
The percentage ties the highest level of support ever reported by Gallup, and is more than twice the level of support reported in the mid-1990s.
Younger Americans, Democrats and independents are the most likely to favor legalizing cannabis, while Republicans and Americans over the age of 65 are least likely to do so. Among those poll respondents age 18 to 34, 71 percent endorse legalization. Among respondents age 35 to 49 years of age, 64 percent support legalizing marijuana.
"Americans' support for legalizing marijuana is the highest Gallup has measured to date, at 58 percent," pollsters concluded. "Given the patterns of support by age, that percentage should continue to grow in the future. Younger generations of Americans have been increasingly likely to favor legal use of marijuana as they entered adulthood compared with older generations of Americans when they were the same age decades ago. … Now senior citizens are alone among age groups in opposing pot legalization.
"These trends suggest that state and local governments may come under increasing pressure to ease restrictions on marijuana use, if not go even further like the states of Colorado, Oregon, Washington and Alaska in making recreational marijuana use completely legal."
The 2015 Gallup poll possesses a margin of error of +/- 4 percent.
Commenting on the latest polling data, NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano said: "Supporting the status quo — the notion that marijuana and those adults who consume it responsibly ought to be criminalized — is now a fringe position in America. These results ought to embolden campaigning politicians, as well as elected officials, to take a more pronounced stance in favor of legalizing and regulating cannabis in a manner that is consistent with the desires of the majority of their constituents."
CNN/ORC Poll: Majority Of Americans Want Marijuana LegalizationJanuary 6, 2014
Fifty-five percent of Americans favor making cannabis legal for adults, according to the findings of a CNN/ORC International survey released late Monday. The percentage is the highest ever reported by the survey, which has been tracking public opinion on the issue since 1973, and marks a 12 percentage point jump in support since the last time pollsters posed the question in 2012.
In addition, only 35 percent of those polled responded that consuming cannabis was "morally wrong" — down from 70 percent in 1987, the last time pollsters posed the question.
The CNN/ORC polled surveyed 1,010 Americans and possesses a margin of error of +/- 3 percent.
The survey's findings are similar to those of a fall 2013 Gallup poll which reported nationwide support for legalizing marijuana at 58 percent, the highest level of support ever recorded in a national scientific poll.
2013: The Year In Review – NORML's Top 10 Events That Shaped Marijuana PolicyDecember 26, 2013
#1 Public Support For Legalizing Marijuana Hits Historic Highs
An unprecedented 58 percent of Americans believe that marijuana ought to be "made legal" for adult consumption, according to survey data reported in October by Gallup. The percentage is the highest level of support ever recorded by Gallup, which has been inquiring on the issue since 1969, and marks a ten percent increase in voter approval since 2012. Regional polls conducted this year in several states, including California, Louisiana, and Texas, also reported majority support for legalization.
#2 Nation Of Uruguay Passes Legislation Regulating Cannabis Use
Lawmakers in the South American nation of Uruguay enacted legislation authorizing the licensed production and retail sale of cannabis to all citizens age 18 and older. Residents will be able to legally purchase up to 40 grams of cannabis per month from state-licensed stores at a price of $1 per gram. Uruguay is the first country in modern history to officially legalize and regulate the licensed production and retail sale of cannabis.
#3 Feds Pledge Not To Interfere In State-Licensed Retail Sales Of Cannabis
Deputy Attorney General James Cole issued a three-page memorandum in August affirming that the US Justice Department will allow Colorado and Washington to move forward with statewide efforts to license and regulate the adult marijuana market. Cole later reaffirmed the agency's position in testimony before the US Senate, stating, "We will not … seek to preempt state ballot initiatives."
#4 States Finalize Regulations Governing Adult Cannabis Sales
Regulators in Colorado and Washington this fall began accepting applications from businesses seeking to engage in the licensed cultivation, production, and retail sale of cannabis and cannabis-infused products. In Washington, several thousand applicants have applied to pot business licenses. In Colorado, regulators have begun approving licenses and several commercial establishments are expected to be open for business on January 1, 2014.
#5 Record Number Of Statewide Marijuana Reform Measures Enacted Into Law
Lawmakers in a dozen states approved some 20 pieces of marijuana law reform legislation in 2013. Specifically, lawmakers in Colorado and Vermont enacted legislation licensing commercial hemp production; Illinois and New Hampshire legalized the use and distribution of marijuana for medical purposes; Oregon and Nevada approved regulations allowing for the establishment of medical cannabis distribution facilities; and Oregon and Vermont significantly reduced marijuana possession penalties.
#6 Cannabis Dispensaries Open In Washington, DC
Medical cannabis facilities opened for business in Washington, DC in 2013. The establishments are licensed and regulated by the District of Columbia, which finally unveiled its long-awaited medical marijuana program earlier this year. State-authorized dispensaries also opened for the first time this year in New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Lawmakers in four states, Illinois, Oregon, Nevada and New Hampshire, enacted legislation in 2013 allowing for the establishment of medicinal cannabis facilities.
#7 Study: Blacks Arrested For Pot Offenses At Rates Four Times That Of Whites
African Americans are far more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession offenses than are whites, according to an American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) report released in June that analyzed arrest data from 945 counties nationwide. The report found that blacks were approximately four times as likely as whites to be arrested for marijuana possession in 2010, even though both ethnicities consumed the substance at similar rates. Authors reported that the racial disparity in arrest rates had grown significantly over the past decade and that in some states African Americans were nearly eight times as likely as whites to be arrested for cannabis possession.
#8 FDA Approves Clinical Trials Of CBD In Cases Of Pediatric Epilepsy
The US Food and Drug Administration this fall granted approval for the importation of cannabidiol (CBD) extracts as an experimental treatment for a rare, intractable form of pediatric epilepsy known as Dravet syndrome. Preliminary clinical trials assessing the safety and tolerability of the compound in children are scheduled to begin in early 2014. Cannabidiol is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that has been documented to possess a variety of therapeutic qualities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-epileptic, anti-cancer, and bone-stimulating properties.
#9 Study: No Association Between Cannabis Smoking And Lung Cancer
Subjects who regularly inhale cannabis smoke possess no greater risk of lung cancer than do those who consume it occasionally or not at all, according to data presented in May at the annual meeting of the American Academy for Cancer Research. UCLA investigators analyzed data from six case-control studies, conducted between 1999 and 2012, involving over 5,000 subjects (2,159 cases and 2,985 controls). They reported, "Our pooled results showed no significant association between the intensity, duration, or cumulative consumption of cannabis smoke and the risk of lung cancer overall or in never smokers."
#10 Members Of Congress Introduce Legislation To End Federal Pot Prohibition
Members of Congress in February introduced historic legislation, HR 499: The Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act, to remove cannabis from the control of the Drug Enforcement Administration and authorize the US Department of Treasury to license state-authorized retail marijuana producers and distributors. Although Congress refused to vote on the measure in 2013, it was the most-viewed legislation on the Congress.gov website.
Indiana: Latest Red State To Go 'Green'December 9, 2013
A majority of Indiana residents believe that marijuana should be legally regulated like alcohol and nearly 80 percent of Hoosiers support taxing it, according to recently released statewide polling data released by the Bowen Center for Public Affairs at Ball State University.
Fifty-two percent of respondents said that cannabis "should be regulated like alcohol." Forty-five percent of respondents opposed legalization. Among self-identified Democrats, 64 percent of respondents backed regulation. Forty-nine percent of self-identified Republicans did so.
Hoosiers support for taxing cannabis was even stronger. Seventy-eight percent of respondents, including strong majorities of both major political parties, answered 'yes' to the question, "Should we tax marijuana like alcohol/cigarettes?" Only 19 percent of respondents opposed the idea.
Under present state law, first-time marijuana possession offenses of under 30 grams are punishable by up to one-year in jail and a $5,000 fine. Subsequent offenses are classified as felonies, punishable by up to 3 years incarceration.
Six hundred randomly selected Indiana residents participated in the survey, which has a margin of error of +/- 4.8 percent.
The Indiana poll is the latest to show growing support for marijuana law reform among so-called 'Red State' voters. Recent statewide surveys in Arizona, Louisiana, and Texas have similarly shown majority support for legalization.
According to an October 2013 nationwide Gallup poll, 58 percent of Americans believe that marijuana should be legal, an all-time high.

This was amazing! I made a few modifications...I omitted the bell pepper simply because I didnt have any on hand and I used a whole (large onion) and 1 garlic clove with the other spices. This made it quite spicy! I pulsed this in the food processor just until incorporation. I served the pate over thinly sliced romaine mixed with cilantro and tomatoes and then garnished with fresh salsa.
It was amazing! I think next time I will use large romaine leaves as a taco shell and go that route to experiment a bit! Thanks for posting this, awesome stuff!

"I knew I had to use well-known Mexican artists" – among others, the group features underground icon Chetes, trumpet player Alex Escobar and Cafe Tacuba's violinist Alejandro Flores – "and to mix it with electronic elements and other non-Mexican elements. To just play these songs with mariachi trumpets would be touristic – we didn't want to come and dress in ponchos." [more inside]
The true scam is believing that there ever will be a perfect way to live
Every Wednesday, rocker Andrew WK (previously) answers reader questions in his Village Voice advice column. He can be deep ("Ideally, life shouldn't be an ongoing struggle to see the glass half-full, but rather an appreciation that there's a glass at all") and inspirational and practical. Today, a reader asks him whether he should start using heroin.
How to ask a question
Ding Dong, DADT is dead.
Ding Dong, DADT is dead. Today marks the end of another era of discrimination against Americans who wish to serve in the armed forces. The Washington Post provides a handy recap.
Facebook Jumps on the Metafilter Bandwagon with New Q&A Offering
Facebook jumps on the Metafilter Bandwagon with New Q&A Offering. Other recent entrants in our market include Ask.com, which is relying on experts to answer questions, Aardvark which asks your friends to do the work, and our favorite love-to-hate-em, Yahoo answers which is teaming with both terrible (hilarious) questions and answers. The Facebook offering will be totally public and searchable by google, with questions answerable by anyone with a Facebook account. It looks like the questions you ask will be tied to your real profile. Anyone in the Beta have a screen shot?

Facebook is advertising for beta answerers for their new Q and A site/product.
My favorite was Altavista, because of the Babelfish.
Soldier's Legacy
"The blogger Andrew Sullivan linked to the Blade account and encouraged readers to complain to the Post. "I can see why outing someone who is alive and closeted is unethical," he wrote. "Inning someone who is dead and was out is a function of utterly misplaced sensitivity, rooted in well-intentioned but incontrovertible homophobia."" A Soldier's Legacy.
When Ask MetaFilter isn't enough
Got a spiritual question? Ask an Islamic scholar. Or ask a Trappist monk. Or ask a Catholic priest. Or a Lutheran pastor. Jewish? Ask a Rabbi. Jewish and like firearms? Ask a rabbi with a gun.
Ask a Biologist. "We think that kids don't always get the access to real scientific information (or real scientists!) outside of the classroom so we are here to do just that." One of the newest in a line of question-and-answer sites, this one is run by fifty professional scientists and directed toward school kids. Is is possible to clone dinosaurs? Why do I sneeze when I look at the sun? How many mutations do I have? How do polar bears keep their feet warm?
It's like being a very deadly Jew
Ask A Ninja. Have a question? Now you know who to ask. What is Podcasting? What's it like being a Ninja? How can we save the Internet? Do you want to come over and watch some Merchant Ivory films with me? Oh, and the theme song is pretty catchy too. Lots of embedded flash, with links to download or subscribe as well
"The saxophones would eat the same thing as Gene [Vincent]." - Now how do I mark this as best answer?
There is a new question asking website. It is powered by humans via the Mechanical Turk program. Said the Gramophone has a bit of fun with it.
Ask Jeeves buying Bloglines?
The E Commerce Times is reporting that Ask Jeeves may be trying to purchase Bloglines.
Web Tapestry,
Web Tapestry, Cheap Names, Areti Internet Ltd. ... These are just a few of the UK based web hosts I have discovered while trying to find one for myself.
My question to any UK residents is: which UK web host do you use/would you recommend? The well known ISPs (Direct Connection for example) are extortionate.

What happens: The selected layout appears inside the keyboard settings indicator now along with a marked checkbox next to it. But the OSK doesn't list the selected layout as expected. Expected: The user should not be able to select these layouts when there's no external keyboard attached, or at least the keyboard settings indicator should not show this selected layout without an external keyboard.

A survey of West Texas A&M University faculty shows some divisions over the issue of adding pluses and minuses to the school's grade reporting system.
The survey, which includes responses from 101 faculty members, shows differences in opinion among faculty members based on rank and experience.
When asked whether they agreed with the statement "I am in favor of adding pluses and minuses to the grading policy," 47 respondents said they agreed or strongly agreed, 38 said they disagreed or strongly disagreed, and 16 said they were neutral.
The decision to conduct the survey originated from the WT Faculty Senate after a September meeting.
Instead of just giving students an A, B, C, D or F, adding a plus or minus to the grade would give faculty a way to more specifically tell the student how they performed in a course.
The results showed sharp differences when broken down by faculty rank.
Majorities of tenured and tenure track professors responded favorably to changing the grading policy, while instructors said they were opposed to making any changes.
Faculty stating they had prior experience with pluses and minuses at other schools responded favorably to bringing similar changes to WT. Those who had not worked with pluses and minuses said they were opposed to making the change at WT.
WT Faculty Senate President Anne Macy said she didn't know what to expect when the survey was conducted.
"You can certainly find places where you say this is a group that's certainly for it and this is a group that isn't," Macy said.
Since the results were not overwhelming one way or another, Macy said the Faculty Senate passed the results on to the administration without making a formal recommendation.
Because the survey did not address anything that would affect GPAs, WT President Russell Long said he doesn't know if there's much of a point in making the change.
"I looked at those results fairly quickly," Long said. "I think it would be dangerous to read too much into the results. I think what I'd want to do is sit down and talk to people in the different categories and find out why they thought it was a good idea and why they thought it was a bad idea."

By U.S. Army Public AffairsSeptember 4, 2014
U.S. Central Command recently released the redacted command directed investigation report into the June 9 fratricide incident vicinity of Arghandab, Afghanistan in which five U.S. Army Soldiers and an Afghan National Army soldier were killed.
The next of kin of the U.S. Army Soldiers killed in the incident have been briefed on the investigation findings and appropriate members of Congress have been notified.
Army senior leaders have also been briefed on the report's findings and recommendations. The Army is reviewing the findings and recommendations to determine if any tactics, techniques, procedures and standard operating procedures need to be adjusted to minimize the risk of this type of incident from happening in the future.
Additionally, the report has been forwarded to the Commander, United States Army Special Operations Command, for his review of the findings and recommendations. After a thorough review he will determine if any appropriate administrative or punitive action should be taken.
The report is posted to CENTCOM's Freedom of Information Act Reading Room.

The Local Emergency Financial Assistance Loan Board (ELB) today, named Joyce A. Parker Emergency Financial Manager (EFM) for the City of Ecorse, effective immediately. Parker is President of The Municipal Group, L.L.C., based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The Municipal Group provides organization assessments, recruitment and training, community and economic development, personnel, and interim staff services to cities, townships, and counties nationwide. Parker has also served as City Manager in several local units of government in Michigan and Illinois.
Today's ELB appointment follows Governor Jennifer M. Granholm's confirmation that a financial emergency exists in the City of Ecorse, pursuant to the Local Government Fiscal Responsibility Act (PA 72 of 1990). The governor reached that conclusion based on a recommendation by a Financial Review Team, appointed to review Ecorse's finances in June.
A preliminary review of the city's finances began in March, following a written request for review from the Ecorse Board of Education. The preliminary review found that a serious financial problem existed in the city and a seven-member Financial Review Team was appointed to conduct a more extensive examination of the city's finances. The Financial Review Team, which included financial management experts from the public and private sectors, determined that a financial emergency existed in Ecorse.
Following a hearing, requested by Ecorse Mayor Herbert Worthy, Governor Granholm confirmed her determination that a financial emergency exists in the City of Ecorse and assigned the responsibility of managing the financial emergency to the ELB, which today named Parker as Emergency Financial Manager.
"While there certainly will be challenges and difficult decisions ahead, I look forward to the opportunity to work with elected officials and residents of Ecorse and the Emergency Loan Board, to address the financial emergency in Ecorse," Parker said.
For more information on the Local Government Fiscal Responsibility Act, including an explanation of the PA 72 process, visit Treasury's Web site at www.michigan.gov/treasury and select the Local Government Services button.
