Packers place Quarless, Richardson on IR
Pack use open spots to sign two off practice squad
Published On: Dec 01 2012 11:37:48 PM CST
The Green Bay Packers placed tight end Andrew Quarless and safety Sean Richardson on injured reserve Saturday, ending their seasons.
Quarless had started the season on the physically unable to perform list after tearing the ACL and MCL in his right knee almost exactly a year ago. He was activated Nov. 7, but had struggled with swelling in the knee. Richardson's move was more of a surprise because he only appeared on the injury report Thursday with a back injury.
The Packers used the open spots to sign running back DuJuan Harris and wide receiver Jeremy Ross. Both had been on Green Bay's practice squad.

The UTEPCollege of Business Administration offers the only AACSB
Accredited business programs in the El Paso border region.
September 5, 2012
The University of Texas System Board of Regents recently announced the recipients of the Regents' Outstanding Teaching Awards for the nine academic institutions. Dr. Laura Hall, Associate Professor of Information and Decision Sciences at the UTEP College of Business Administration, is among recipients from throughout The University of Texas System who will share $2 million in Board of Regents' Outstanding Teaching Awards.
Laura Hall received her doctoral degree in information systems management in 1997 from Florida State University. She has been at UTEP since 1996.
"Building learning environments that extend beyond the walls of the classroom allows students to develop a greater sense of community responsibility and prepares them to be strong role models for other underrepresented minority students in the region," said Hall.
The regents honored the recipients during an Aug. 22 ceremony at the UT Austin campus.
"All of us at UTEP applaud the UT System Board of Regents for establishing an award to recognize teaching excellence," said UTEP President Diana Natalicio. "We are extremely proud that this year 10 UTEP faculty members were selected to receive the 2012 Regents' Outstanding Teaching Awards. These talented, innovative and dedicated UTEP teachers richly deserve the recognition conferred by this prestigious and highly competitive System-wide award. I congratulate all of them and thank them for everything they do to contribute to UTEP's and our students' success."
The regents made their selection in tenured, tenure-track and contingent categories, and each came with a $25,000 prize. The awards, which are the highest honor bestowed by the regents, are among the largest in the nation in rewarding faculty performance and among the most competitive.
Nominees went through a rigorous evaluation process that included student, peer and external review. At every level, the candidates were assessed on their teaching performance to include classroom expertise, curricula quality, innovative course development and student learning outcomes.
"The UT System and the Board of Regents believe educating young minds is paramount for the future of this great state and nation," said UT System Chancellor Francisco G. Cigarroa. "These awards honor those educators who have produced proven results and have had a great impact on our students."

Our GI today requested a blood test to check Amee's iron levels. She's started purees, but won't be allowed any meat products for a very long time (too much risk of blocking her esaphogus), and he said that TEF babies can develop anemia when mother's iron levels return to normal.
Has anyone else had any experience needing iron supplements? Are there any questions I should ask? I know for adults iron supplements can cause some pretty bad constipation, but I'm unfamiliar with how if could affect infants. TIA!

The new head of mobile solutions at Nokia Corp., the world's largest maker of mobile phones, vows to again make the company as the No. 1 supplier of high-end mobile devices. In order to do so, Nokia will utilize new versions of Symbian operating system as well as MeeGo OS. But the firm has no plans to make slates or phones powered by Google Android.
"Symbian and MeeGo are the best software for our smartest devices. As such, we have no plans to use any other software. Despite rumors to the contrary, there are no plans to introduce an Android device from Nokia," said Anssi Vanjoki, the head of mobile solutions business unit at Nokia.
The decision not to use Google Android platform is quite logical for Nokia: it has invested rather substantial amounts of money onto development of MeeGo and Symbian and creation of its own software/content Ovi store. Moreover, existing customers of Nokia are familiar with Symbian graphics user interface and may not appreciate Android. However, Nokia has been losing market share for some time now and Nokia needs to act very quickly so that to ensure that it continues to be the No. 1 maker of smartphones on the planet.
"Symbian is our platform of choice for Nokia smartphones. Symbian has taken a lot of criticism lately – some of it fair, some not. But what is consistently overlooked is that Symbian still accounts for more than two-fifths of the global smartphone market," stressed Mr. Vanjoki.
In the coming months Nokia plans to release its N8 smartphone based on Symbian3 and going forward it may focus on Symbian4 instead. At the same time, the company has promised to release netbooks as well as slates and MeeGo may easily power those devices. Moreover, as smartphones gain performance and feature-set, MeeGo may move onto pocket-sized devices.
"MeeGo offers us an opportunity to take mobile technology beyond the smartphone, and into a new world of connected devices. As Symbian gears up to compete with the likes of iPhone and Android, MeeGo is taking clear aim at the computing space. […] We believe it will power the computers of the future. And the computers of the future will not be tied to a desk or even a lap – they will fit in your pocket. […] Working with Intel, we've combined our assets to create a software platform that completely integrates mobile elements such as GPS, Bluetooth, NFC and more. This will offer developers a rich environment to create new possibilities for users," explained the head of mobile business unit at Nokia.

text: Entrepreneurs Economic Confidence Slipping Release Date: 7/31/2012 Media Contacts: Johanna Namir, 323-337-0022, email@example.com, LegalZoomRossana Weitekamp, 516-792-1462, firstname.lastname@example.com Pruitt, 816-932-1288, email@example.com, Kauffman Foundation Entrepreneurs' Economic Confidence Slipping, Third-Quarter Kauffman/LegalZoom Startup Confidence Index Shows But younger entrepreneurs are notably more confident in future profitability (KANSAS CITY, Mo.) July 31, 2012 —According to the third-quarter Kauffman/LegalZoom Startup Confidence Index, released today by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and LegalZoom, expectations for the U.S. economy declined overall, but there is a significant optimism gap between older entrepreneurs and those between the ages of 18 and 40. Almost 40 percent of startup owners now believe the economy will deteriorate over the next 12 months, an increase from 36 percent in the second-quarter survey and 31 percent in the first-quarter survey. Entrepreneurs' who were somewhat confident in future profitability fell from 43 percent in second quarter to 40 percent in the third-quarter survey, and those who lacked confidence in improved profitability edged up from 18 percent to 21 percent. However, 98 percent of the 18- to 30-year-olds and 83 percent of the 31- to 40-year-olds are confident or very confident that their businesses will realize greater profitability in the next 12 months. "Entrepreneurs require persistence and fortitude," said John Suh, CEO of LegalZoom. "It is encouraging to see that nearly 100 percent of younger entrepreneurs are confident in their future profitability, and this conviction has not been affected by the current economic climate." "While overall confidence has fallen, it is encouraging that these businesses have decided to start up in the first place even amid continuing uncertainty over the macro-economy," said Dane Stangler, director of research and policy at the Kauffman Foundation. Thirty-nine percent of entrepreneurs reported being very confident in future profitability, which stayed constant from the second quarter. Entrepreneurs are also becoming increasingly pessimistic about consumer demand. In the most recent survey, one-third said they expect moderate to significant deterioration in consumer demand in the next 12 months – 6 percent more than in the second-quarter survey and 8 percent more than in the first-quarter survey. Thirty percent of startup owners said they plan to hire additional staff in 2012, a slight decrease from 33 percent in the March survey. The Kauffman Foundation sponsored the survey in conjunction with LegalZoom, the nation's leading provider of online legal document services and legal plans to young companies. The findings are based on 698 responses to a nationwide, June 2012 survey distributed via email to LegalZoom customers who formed their entities within the last 12 months. The Startup Confidence Index is conducted quarterly to gauge entrepreneurial confidence. The next survey will be conducted in October 2012. The 16 percent of small business owners who applied for loans or lines of credit in the last year remained unchanged from the previous study. View the Infographic

Colorado Christian had six shots on goal in the match to five for the Zias. ENMU had two shots after Gilchrist's goal, but CCU goalkeeper Liana Signorile stopped both of them.

Buffalo bur, sometimes called Kansas thistle and prickly nightshade, is an taprooted annual weed. It bears long, yellow spines on stems, leaves, and flower heads and can grow up to 2 feet high. Drought resistant, its highest occurrence is in dry, exposed soil. The oblong leaves are 2-3 inches long with deep rounded lobes and are covered with very dense, stiff, and sharp spines. Bright yellow flowers can be seen in summer. In the fall, berries up to 3/8 inch in diameter are enclosed in the dried flower parts and are filled with black, wrinkled, flat pitted seeds.
Control of this plant is important as it is a host for the Colorado potato beetle. When mature, the main stem breaks near the ground and the plant rolls like a tumbleweed, widely scattering the 8500 seeds that each plant produces.
Buffalo bur can be pulled when the soil is moist. Be sure to wear gloves to avoid injury from the spines.
Herbicides should be applied between late bud to early flower. Dicamba, Triclopyr and 2,4-D can be effective in controlling Buffalo bur. Glyphosate in a 2% solution can be applied as a spot treatment.

There's a list to cross off when flying a plane. Fuel, flaps, oil temperature are items Tom Morris has checked off for every flight he's piloted for 43 years.
"We're ready if you guys are ready," Morris said to us sitting in the cockpit.
Morris is the Vice President of the Washington Pilots Association.
"We're listening to (the control) tower on 132.5," he said pointing to the dashboard of the Cessna.
Once Morris cleared our flight pattern over downtown with the tower, we took off. Right away, controllers advise Morris there is a plane in our area near the hospital.
"Okay, we'll watch for him over the hospital," he responded.
That warning may soon be a thing of the past. Enjoying blissful images of Spokane 3,000 feet above ground, may start feel more like defensive driving down Division Street at rush hour.
The looming massive federal cuts could shut the tower down at Felts Field and seven other Washington airports including fields in Olympia, Tacoma, Everett, Renton, Yakima, Moses Lake, and Walla Walla. Across the United States 100 airports would be affected by the sequester.
"Even though our traffic pattern isn't that busy, they're talking all the time," Morris said about the controllers. "But we don't see anybody."
Moody Flight School made up one-fifth of the almost 53,000 flights in and out of Felts Field last year. The Director of Flight Operations for the school, Jim Conrad, said training students without a tower is undesirable and unsafe.
"To have someone watching your back is huge, and we've had a number of times where the controllers have assisted our students while they're in the air and provided some additional traffic call-outs that have significantly increased the safety of our flying," Conrad said.
Controllers at Felts Field work from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day. Pilots said they communicate with each other in the air after hours on a frequency specific to the airport and they'll use that if the tower is shut down.
Northwest MedStar has its helicopters based at the airport. They said if the tower closes it will not affect their response times.

Pictures from Petco Park 4/9/11
Greetings from San Diego!
We got two games for the price of one! the Friday suspended game, a 2-2 tie, picked up from the 9th inning with Matt Kemp on base and no outs. Final score: Dodgers 4, Padres 2 in the 11th. W: Hawksworth (1-0) L: Frieri (0-1) SV: Broxton (4)
After a delay of 25 minutes, the second game started. Kuroda san was magnificient shutting down the Padres for 8 and 2/3 innings. Tony Wynn had a big night too.
Spotted this Dodger fan with this sign that says: We come in Peace. Go LA Dodgers.
Happy birthday to Andre Ethier who turns 29 today!
Ethier and Kemp
There is more, but got to check out of the hotel, move the car and head to the game! Go Dodgers! Go Ely! going for the sweep!
9 Comments
Nice pics, Emma! I love the "we come in peace" sign.
"We Come In Peace"
Nice sign by a memeber of the Blue Crew.
Kuroda did his part in the second game.
Sounds like a great roadtrip, and getting 2 games for the price of one is always a perfect addition.
Rays Renegade
Were you at Friday's game in the rain Emma? I thought about you when I got back from the Angels game and found out that the L.A./O.C. rain had headed down to S.D. instead. Way to go Dodgers in both games and good luck today! I love your photos, as usual and that sign is a great one.
This is a very simple game…
When I saw the guy with the sign, I had to take a pic! great idea.
Kuroda-san was oustanding when the Dodgers needed him more. He wanted to finish the game but was running out of gas at thend. He had 100 piches. Brox came in to save it.
No I was not at Friday's game but since it got suspended because of the rain, they continued the game on Saturday at 5ish and at the conclusion, we waited like 30 minutes for the next one. It was great getting two wins in one day.
First game we were in the first row behind dugout seats behind homeplate. The umpires walked thru there at the conclusion of the game and had out baseballs that they have in their … what should I call it… apron? Second game we were still in good seats that gave us access to the Omni club so we ate there while watching most of the game and went to our seats in the 6th.
I am getting tweets that the word hostile is understatement in San Francisco toward Dodger fans. they are advicing fans to take a cab there instead of walking or driving. Jeesh. two thugs does not make the entire Dodger fan base. The family understand that.
Wow, looks like great seats! I always love amusing signs like that🙂
We had great seats both days! We actually had four tickets for the two of us. We ended up buying better ticket so two went to waste. Wish I would have known someone that could have used them but we bought the second pair the same day of the game.
Thanks for the sighn comments, I wanted to bring the sighn to opening day4/1/13 but I didnt want it to get taken away do to no sighn behind homeplate!

Yeshiva University's Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and Administration was established in 1983 in recognition of a major gift by the Montreal architect-builder and communal leader David J. Azrieli. Our students come from every part of the United States, as well as Canada, Israel and Europe, to attend this premier international center for the training of Jewish educators. Alumni serve at the helm of schools, educational agencies, universities and communal institutions all over the world.
Our mission is to train a cadre of Torah educators who will relay the rich knowledge and traditions of the Jewish heritage with warmth, joy and intelligence. Our student body includes teachers and administrators, regardless of institutional or denominational affiliation, who seek to enhance their skills and competencies while earning an advanced degree in Jewish education.
Our definition of Jewish education is broad and expansive. From early childhood to the university campus to the beit midrash [study hall], from the pulpit to the classroom to the summer camp, from the mainstream to the gifted to those with special needs, our students and alumni serve in every facet and capacity. They staff formal agencies with highly structured curricula as well as informal programs of looser design. Many reside in concentrated centers of Jewish life, while others work to build communal and educational institutions in less developed communities throughout North America, Israel and elsewhere.
Agencies of Jewish education, both formal and informal, have experienced enormous growth in recent years, reflecting important changes in the direction and composition of the American Jewish community. As a result, we currently face a shortage of qualified teachers, principals, administrators and other educational leaders. There is an expanding need for highly trained personnel with insights and innovations who will contribute to the quality and accessibility of Jewish education, while preserving and strengthening its values and practices.

11 NCAA Div. III individual championships
DELAWARE, OHIO—A pair of all-America performances by sprinter Abi Davis (sophomore, Des Moines, Dowling Catholic HS) gave the Central College women's track and field squad its best finish in 10 years at the NCAA Division III championships Saturday.
Photos courtesy of Paul Hurd and Tony Hurd, Coe and Augustana sports information.
Davis capped a remarkable season with a second-place showing in the 200 meters and a fourth-place performance in the 100 meters. That let the Dutch place 16th nationally with 13 points. It's Central's best NCAA showing since notching a 14th-place finish in 2004. The Dutch have recorded five top-25 national finishes in the past 11 seasons.
Meanwhile Eli Horton (junior, Runnells, Southeast Polk HS) captured fourth in the 5,000 meters to let the Dutch men finish 53rd nationally with five points.
Seeded 20th in the 200 meters entering the NCAA meet, Davis raced her way to second place in 24.52 seconds Saturday, just slightly behind her school-record effort of 24.37 seconds in Thursday's preliminary.
And, while placing fourth in the 100, she was just inches away from a national title as the top four finishers were within 0.04 seconds. Davis clocked in at 11.96 seconds while Wis.-Eau Claire's Carly Fehler claimed the title in 11.93 seconds.
"Through 60 meters, Abi had the lead," coach Joe Dunham said. "There were a lot of exciting things about the way she competed.
"I'm very proud of Abi. To run the way she did , coming into the meet in 20th in the 200 and finishing second, we're really happy about that. It was a great way for her to finish the season, with two more all-America awards."
Horton also had a taste of the lead in the 5,000 meters before taking fourth in 14:24.76. Austin O'Brien (senior, Bettendorf, Pleasant Valley HS) was 16th in 15:02.54.
"Eli's game plan was to go out aggressively and make those guys who were doubling (in the 10,000 meters) work hard," Dunham said. "He led the entire race until the last two laps. He just didn't have a whole lot left. But he truly gave it his all and he had a great season as well.
"Eli's had a lot of great accomplishments but this leaves him hungry for an even greater senior year."
O'Brien, making his first national track and field meet appearance, finished in 15:02.54.
"It just wasn't Austin's day," Dunham said. "It wasn't for lack of effort. But we're very happy with all of his accomplishments. The improvements he made between his junior and senior years are nothing short of incredible. He really represented the Dutch well."
While it was a relatively small group of Central athletes at the national meet by recent standards, Dunham liked the efforts he saw, including those of the teams' other qualifiers, Hillary Hotz (junior, Fort Dodge, St. Edmond HS) in the high jump and the women's 4x400-meter relay team, which was an all-underclass group.
"This was great experience for them," Dunham said. "I talked to Hillary and she's already anxious to get going for next year.
"And as always, I've got to give our coaching staff a lot of credit. They did a great job of getting these kids here and preparing them. I'm really blessed to have such a great staff."
With plenty of veteran talent returning, Dunham is already thinking about bringing a larger contingent of Dutch athletes to next year's NCAA meet.
"We've got a lot of guys sitting at home who certainly have the capability of being at the national meet next year," he said. "I'm excited about the way the team finished and I think we show a lot of promise for next year. And I'm really excited about our incoming freshman class. We've got a lot of athletes coming in who can make an impact."

Installing Numerical Python
To use Numerical Python, you'll need to install it first. For the details, see our handy guide with instructions and download locations here.
On its own, Python is a potent tool for mathematics. When extended with the addition of two modules, Numerical Python and the DISLIN data visualization tool, Python becomes a powerhouse for numeric computing and problem solving. Numerical Python (NumPy) extends the Python language to handle matrices and supports the associated mathematics of linear algebra. Like Python, NumPy is a collaborative effort. The principal code writer was Jim Hugunin, a student at MIT. Paul Dubois at Lawrence Livermore National Labs and a few other major supporters (Konrad Hinsen and Travis Oliphant) eventually took on the project.
While NumPy and Python make a good combination, the ability of Python to serve the scientific community is not complete without a data visualization package. An excellent choice for data visualization is the DISLIN package freely provided to the Python community by Helmut Michels of the Max-Planck Institute. DISLIN is an extensive cross platform (Win32/Linux/Unix) library that can be accessed in many languages, including Python. With its support for 2D and 3D plotting and basic drawing commands, you can create informative and eye-catching graphics.
Over the next five months I will show you how to use both NumPy and DISLIN in real applications, starting this week with a review of the useful and interesting world of matrices and linear algebra. You may feel like you are having a flashback to high-school math, but stick with me. It gets interesting.
A matrix is a homogenous collection of numbers with a particular shape, like a table of numbers of the same type. The most common matrices are one or two-dimensional. One-dimensional matrices are also called vectors. A, b, and C are examples of matrices; a and b could also be called vectors.
Although a and b both contain the same elements, they are different in shape. The shape of a matrix is described by the number of rows and columns. The a matrix can be described as either a column vector or a 3-by-1 matrix, b is a row-vector or a 1-by-3 matrix. The C matrix is and example of a 3-by-3 matrix.
You add and subtract matrices, as you might expect, element by element - with only a slight twist. The shape of the matrices must be the same. Thus the following are valid operations,
is not.
Matrix multiplication is a more complicated operation. For addition the matrices have to be the same size, but in multiplication only the inner dimensions have to be the same: the columns of the first matrix must be the same as the rows of the second matrix. The resulting matrix will be the size of the remaining outer dimensions. As an example, multiplication of a 1-by-3 matrix by a 3-by-1 matrix results in a 1-by-1 matrix (3 being the 'inner' dimension). If a 5-by-2 matrix is multiplied by a 2-by-5 matrix, a 5-by-5 matrix results.
This formula describes how the rows of matrix a and the columns of matrix b can be multiplied to generate matrix c. The indices in c(i,j) are used to specify the element located at the ith row and jth column of the new c matrix. (The same concept holds for the a and b matrices.) The Greek letter Sigma stands for summation. Think of it as a kind of for loop from k=1 to n where n is the size of the inner dimension. Add the resulting value of each trip through the loop together.
The following shows the difference between matrices with the same values but different shapes. The first example is a 2-by-1 matrix multiplied by a 1-by-2 matrix resulting in a 2-by-2 matrix. The second example is a 1-by-2 matrix multiplied by a 2-by-1 matrix resulting in a 1-by-1 matrix (also known as a scalar).
Matrix division is undefined; the concept is replaced by the matrix inverse. The inverse of a matrix A is defined by the following equation:
When a matrix and its inverse are multiplied together, the result is the identity matrix or I. The identity matrix is a square matrix where all elements are 0 except along the main diagonal (going from upper left to lower right). A 3-by-3 identity matrix is shown
While the matrix inverse is a bit different from traditional division, the concept follows directly from scalar mathematics where:
There are couple of limitations: the matrix inverse is only defined for square matrices (same number of rows as columns), and it may not exist for certain sets of elements. This is similar to how dividing a scalar by zero is undefined. You just can't work out an inverse for every set of numbers. Where the inverse does exist, it is very useful for solving difficult equations, as we will see later in this tutorial.
Enough math review -- let's see how it looks in Numerical Python. The NumPy distribution brings to Python the concept of the multi-array. This is the ability to store sets of homogenous numbers in shaped containers. Sounds like a matrix, right? The multi-array (or array) can hold numeric values of any type (integers, floating point numbers, and complex values). The Numeric package also provides extensions to the mathematical functions to cover array arguments as well as scalar. In addition several other modules are provided (LinearAlgebra, FFT, RanLib and Matrix to name a few). We will use the LinearAlgebra module later to create an inverse.
NumPy provides for operations that extend beyond those defined in traditional matrix mathematics like we just reviewed. Although these operations are nonstandard, they make for more efficient computation in certain circumstances.
It is important for you to know that NumPy defines the operation of the binary operators '*' for multiplication and '/' for division to operate element-wise as in addition and subtraction (shape still matters, however). To perform traditional matrix multiplication or to create an inverse you will need to use explicit functions,
matrixmultiply() and
To use the features of NumPy you must import it:
>>> from Numeric import *.
Once the module has been imported, you generate an array with the
array() function. The
array() function takes two arguments, a tuple or list of values and an optional type code, e.g., Float or Int. The list may be nested to create a multi-dimensional array. The
array() function will create an array with the values and type specified. If no type is specified, the type of the array will be dependent on the type of the elements.
>>> a=array((1,2))
>>> print a
[1 2]
Creates an integer array since the values in the tuple were integers.
>>> b=array((1,2),Float)
>>> print b
[ 1. 2.]
creates a floating-point array using integer arguments. The floating-point type overrides the integer arguments.
>>> c=array(((1,2),(3,4)))
>>> print c
[[1 2]
[3 4]]
creates a multi-dimensional array using a multi-dimensional tuple.
The shape attribute of an array is expressed as a tuple. To see the shape simply type
>>> a=array((1,2))
>>> a.shape
>>> c=array(((1,2),(3,4)))
>>> c.shape
(2, 2)
Note that
a has only a single dimension (the shape tuple has only a single value) and that
c is multidimensional (two values in the shape tuple). By default, single dimensional arrays have only a length. The concept of rows and columns is not embodied in the structure of a single dimensional array. The shape of an array, however, can be altered via the
reshape() function. The reshape function takes two arguments: an array and a shape tuple.
>>> a=array((1,2))
>>> a.shape
>>> print a
[1 2]
>>> ma=reshape(a,(1,2))
>>> ma.shape
(1, 2)
>>> print ma
[ [1 2]]
>>> mb=reshape(a,(2,1))
>>> mb.shape
(2, 1)
>>> print mb
The printout changes when you use reshape to give a single-dimensioned array a shape more like a traditional matrix. In the case of the 1-by-2 matrix
ma, the extra space shows the multidimensional nature of the matrix. Contrast the printing of
a with
ma. See the difference between the original and the reshaped form? The elements are the same, but the shape is different.
Elements are taken row-wise from the source array when we reshape this 2-by-2 array:
>>> c=array(((1,2),(3,4)))
>>> c.shape
(2, 2)
>>> print c
[[1 2]
[3 4]]
>>> d=reshape(c,(1,4))
>>> d.shape
(1, 4)
>>> print d
[ [1 2 3 4]]
matrixmultiply() do we get the results we expect.
>>> ma
array([ [1, 2]])
>>> mb
>>> ma*mb
array([[1, 2],
[2, 4]])
>>> mb*ma
array([[1, 2],
[2, 4]])
>>> matrixmultiply(ma,mb)
array([ [5]])
>>> matrixmultiply(mb,ma)
array([[1, 2],
[2, 4]])
The multiplication operation is governed by actions called 'Pseudo Indices.' They really are useful. I will explain them in a later article. For now, stick with the
matrixmultiply() function to achieve the expected results.
To generate a matrix inverse, you simply use the
inverse() function found in the LinearAlgebra module supplied along with the basic NumPy. To gain access to the function, first perform an import.
>>> From LinearAlgebra import *
A simple example shows how to use the function
>>> a=array(((3,2),(2,4)),Float)
>>> print a
[[ 3. 2.]
[ 2. 4.]]
>>> a_inv = inverse(a)
>>> print a_inv
[[ 0.5 -0.25 ]
[-0.25 0.375]]
To check the result, multiply
a_inv by
a (which should give the identity matrix).
>>> matrixmultiply(a_inv,a)
array([[ 1.00000000e+000, 1.11022302e-016],
[ 0.00000000e+000, 1.00000000e+000]])
With these abilities in hand, what can you do? In another flashback to math class, the topic of simultaneous linear equations (also known as solving multiple equations with multiple unknowns) comes to mind. In the following example, the goal is to find the values x and y that make both equations true (at the same time, of course).
This is the classic problem of finding the place where two lines intersect in the plane. The lines may represent different phenomena, perhaps profit vs. cost in economics or growth vs. decay in biology. In any case, solving for the intersection can be tedious. Add a few more variables, and it can be very difficult.
You can generate the answer by hand or with a computer. The trick to answering the problem with matrices is to represent the equations as two 2-by-1 matrices that are equal. Note how we use matrix shape, multiplication, and inverses to find our answer:
This can be rewritten as a product of a 2-by-2 matrix with a 1-by-2 matrix (the unknowns) being equal to a 2-by-1 matrix:
Matrix mathematics has a few more rules than traditional algebra does. One of those is seen in the equation below. In order to solve for the unknowns, z needs to be isolated on the left. Thinking algebraically, your first instinct might be to divide through by A. But matrix division is not defined! Fortunately, we can use the inverse. Multiply both sides by the inverse (just like you might multiply both sides by 1/A).
On the left the result is the identity matrix multiplied by z (which is just z). The inverse cancels out matrix A. On the right we are left with the product of A-1b. Since all values are known on the right and only unknowns exist on the left, a solution is at hand! These equations are solved with just an inverse and a multiply.
Want to calculate that inverse and multiply by hand? I don't. Here is how you do it with NumPy:
>>> A=array(((3,4),(5,2)))
>>> b=reshape(array((11,9)),(2,1))
Notice how we generate
b in one fell swoop using a combination of the
array() and
reshape() functions.
>>> Ainv = inverse(A)
>>> z=matrixmultiply(Ainv,b)
>>> z
array([[ 1.],
[ 2.]])
which is the answer. Checking the result with the original matrix A,
>>> matrixmultiply(A,z)
array([[ 11.],
[ 9.]])
which shows the right answer! Hopefully the exercise was less painful than solving things by hand. The power of Python/NumPy is only hinted at by this simple problem. The true power is in solving problems that are larger. If the numbers of unknowns and equations equaled 10, it would be difficult to solve the problem by hand.
I haven't even touched on DISLIN. I am saving that for the next article. Visualization can be very useful. Remember all that graphing of equations? DISLIN can do it for you. In the following plot, the green and red lines are those of the equations above. They intersect at the point x=1 and y=2, which is exactly the answer we got.
In upcoming articles we will explore more useful matrix manipulations with NumPy. We will also graph the results with DISLIN to help us see what it is we are doing. You may find the 2D graph above uninspiring, but check out this graph of 3D information. This graphs the response of a control system (perhaps the anti-lock braking system in a car) at points of instability. The peaks actually rise to infinity and were clipped for plotting purposes.
Want to launch ahead with Numerical Python? Are you struggling to remember that math? Hungry for more? While you are waiting for next month's article, here is where you can find out more. Read the Numerical Python Manual. It was written as a tutorial as well as a reference.
Want to buy some books on linear algebra and matrices? The book Applied Linear Algebra by Ben Noble and James W. Daniel is an excellent read. If your interests lie more in the computational aspect of matrices, the ever popular Matrix Computations by Gene H. Golub and Charles F. Van Loan should also be on your reading list.

yeah totally. We really aren't old. Id much rather be us, and have a core in their prime, with veterans and youth backing us up, rather than say the lakers where all your money is going to a bunch of old starters with no bench and no one of quality being able to back them up.
Youth costs more. If a player is good and young they are more valuable then a player that is older. This is because teams want to secure young players for several years. So in terms of value, you are more likely to get a player who can contribute more to your team for a low cost if the player is older rather than younger. Because if a player is younger and will accept a low payment it must likely means that he sucks. But if the player is older it could mean that he was at one time good but isn't what he used to be. Id rather have a has been who still has knowledge of the the game and how to win than a never was.
Age is only an issue if you sign them with the intent of having them for a lengthy period of time. We don't. This is the one season we are even going to bother our selves with most of our older players in all likelyhood. Im not sure why this is so hard for some people to understand.

Publication Excerpt
Just before the bombs landed I took a quick peek to see how close they were going to hit. I saw the bright flash, but before I could get my head back down a big piece of red-hot shrapnel hit me in the face. The searing pain jolted my head back and my steel helmet tumbled to the ground. Smaller pieces of razor sharp shrapnel hit me in the neck and down the right side of my body. I immediately realized that I was badly hurt. The right side of my face was crushed by the baseball-sized piece of shrapnel from the bomb. The blood gushed from the wound and pooled beneath me in the dirt. I leaned forward to pick up my steel helmet and to my horror, I watched what was left of my right eye fall out into the helmet. My shirt was completely soaked with blood as it poured from the gaping holes in my body. I thought, "This is the end of the line for me. There is no medic here to rescue me, and no radio to call for help. I'm dead... I'm gonna die right here...19 years old...thousands of miles from home."
All the things I'd never experienced in my short life rushed through my head. I'd never been in love. I'd never even had a real relationship with a woman. I had not really had a life, or at least the kind of life I'd always thought I might have. I wanted to be married and have a family. I wanted to kiss the kids and pet the dog on my way out to work every morning. I wanted to mow the lawn on sunny Saturday afternoons. I wanted drink a cold beer while I barbequed for family and friends in the back yard of my own little house.
While I was lying on the ground, bleeding profusely, visions of the American Dream streamed through my head. Then, suddenly, it all came to a screaming halt. I was lying in the dust and dirt of a dry rice paddy in the Republic of Vietnam. I could see waves of heat rising from the hard ground. My men were safe on the other side of the rice paddy, and had no idea I was badly injured. The enemy was still firing at us from the hedgerows. I didn't care about any of this. All I could think was, "I'm going to die alone, no mom here to kiss it and make it better. I'm gonna die, right here, right now!"

Washington, DC -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, S & H Wholesale Corporation of East Syracuse, New York is recalling 2,400 "My Baby Pumpkin Dolls" sold in the Syracuse/Rochester, New York area between July 1985 and June 1986. Tests conducted by the CPSC showed that the dolls' hands detach and are small enough to be a choking hazard. To meet CPSC safety requirements, toys for children younger than three must not have any small parts.
Each "My Baby Pumpkin Doll" is approximately seven inches tall with plastic head and hands and stuffed fabric torso, arms and legs. Some dolls have yarn hair in yellow, brown or tan, and others have no hair. There are boy and girl dolls dressed in a variety of outfits, some with hats. All dolls have blue eyes and freckles. There is a fabric label sewn into the body of each doll which says, "MADE IN HONG KONG BY H.K. CITY TOYS FTY LTD." and "ALL NEW MATERIALS CONTENTS: COTTON/POLYESTER FIBER ME 1015 OH PA 941 PA PA 941 MA T-533-M".
Although the CPSC and S & H Wholesale have not received any reports of injuries involving this toy, consumers should take these dolls away from children immediately. Consumers may return them for a full refund to the retailer where they were purchased or to S & H Wholesale Corp., 6619 Loy Road, East Syracuse, New York 13057.

text: Investigators at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) are seeking patients with Menkes disease-a genetic disorder affecting the metabolism of copper-for a study of early copper histidine therapy. In the study, researchers will evaluate the effects of early copper histidine in patients with Menkes disease, and correlate specific molecular defects with responses to treatment. Eligible patients must be diagnosed at or shortly after birth as having Menkes disease. The study will be conducted at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center in Bethesda, MD. All study-related expenses will be paid by the NIH. The study will be carried out under testing and safety standards of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. For more information, physicians should send a referral letter and a copy of the patient's recent medical records to Dr. Stephen Kaler, NINDS, NIH, Building 31, Room 1B-03, 31 Center Drive MSC 2082, Bethesda, MD 20892-2082; telephone: (301) 496-8368; fax: (301) 402-1073; email: email@example.com.

Disney Recruits Haverford StudentsThursday, June 17th, 2010
This entry is part of our monthly series to highlight letters
from the Charles Roberts Autograph Letter Collection.
Commencement occurred more than a month ago and recent Haverford grads are scouring the world looking for their new place in the world. A job search today usually calls for the applicant to summon all his initiative to find and secure a position.
But imagine a time when a newly successful and exciting industry petitioned Haverford to encourage their graduates to apply for employment! This happened in the spring of 1937 when Walt Disney wrote to the Dean encouraging applications from Haverford students who were able to meet the studio's artistic requirements.
At the time of this letter the Disney Studio was on the verge of its incredible rise to success. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was released just six months after this letter came to Haverford. It was the first animated American film, first to be produced in color and first produced by Walt Disney. In 2008 the American Film Institute ranked Snow White as the greatest American animated film of all time.
Incredibly, a Haverford College graduate did join the Disney Studio in 1997! Andrew Millstein '84 was named General Manager for Walt Disney Animation Studios in 2008 and was interviewed by the Alumni Association about his career path. View this blog posting in the Haverford News Room.

Technology Grants awarded to 53 school districts
Further information: 217/782-4648
Technology grants have been awarded by the State Board of Education to 53 school districts to make technology improvements associated with new or recently completed renovation projects.
The districts will share in nearly $5 million allocated to Illinois through the technology portion of the federal School Renovation, IDEA and Technology Grant Program. Districts will be notified of the final amount of their awards in the next few days.
Grants must be used for technology improvements in conjunction with renovation projects that are current or have been completed within the past year. Allowable technology expenditures include wiring; acquiring hardware and software; costs associated with connectivity linkages and resources; and costs associated with microwave, fiber optics cable and satellite-transmission equipment.
More than 330 proposals, requesting about $60 million, were submitted in response to the request for proposals. External evaluators, as well as agency technology staff, reviewed the proposals and selected recipients based on the quality of the proposals with weighting factors applied for low-wealth districts and those with fewest computers in classrooms.
Following is the list of districts awarded federal Technology Grants by the State Board of Education:
