Etruria Porcini Oil - Organic - 3.3 oz Giuseppe Cagnoni uses an all-natural process to infuse his smooth Late Harvest Organic Extra-Virgin Olive Oil with the rich, meaty flavor of fresh porcini mushrooms that his family gathers in the hills of Umbria. Twist off the top of this bottle and breathe the intense aroma of sweetly caramelized porcini mushrooms. A drizzle may fool your palate into believing there are freshly sautéed porcinis in the dish! Drizzle your next vegetable sauté, or grilled rabbit with it, and treat yourself to medallions of veal with a finishing trickle. Mmm. About the Producer In ancient times, portions of Umbria were conquered by the Etruscans and became part of what the Romans called Etruria -- adopted by Giuseppe for the name of his Umbrian specialty products company. To talk to Giuseppe Cagnoni about his company Etruria is to talk about olives, specifically Umbrian olives. Giuseppe produces his olive oil in the small Umbrian town of Trevi. The small town of Trevi in Umbria is perched on a pyramid of a hill surrounded by miles and miles of olive groves. This is where five generations of Giuseppe Cagnoni's family have grown olives and foraged for mushrooms and truffles.. As in the old days, much is done by hand.

Nancy King at Jazz Standard with Fred Hersch
Jazz Standard
New York, NY
May 9, 2006
A definite anticipatory buzz was in the air around Nancy King and Fred Hersch at Jazz Standard last month. It was much like the happy sound a Broadway audience makes upon arriving for the performance of a newly minted hit musical. In this instance King (a vocalist who until now has mainly been a cult jazz figure on the West Coast) and Hersch (a pianist whose lengthy credentials include accompanying singers as diverse as Renee Fleming and Andy Bey) were celebrating the release of a recording made on the first occasion they'd worked together, two years ago.
The set began with Hersch's relaxed intro to "There's A Small Hotel before King joined in, her voice sometimes husky, sometimes high up there. Starting out low-key, Hersch went into a rich, sustained riff before King came back in for a burst of typically expert scatting, Hersch easing back as she took over. The fact that King and Hersch hadn't played together prior to making the recording, and not again until the current gig, added an interesting edginess as they continued discovering each other musically.
King's voice at times can sound like a newly created instrument, maybe a trumpsaxtrombone? On "I Fall In Love Too Easily, she spotlighted each word in "I've been well schooled in the past differently, sometimes suddenly going deep and then shifting with nary a pause to a high, light sound. The impressive thing was the rightness of her choices, those separate enunciations as emotional and musical illuminations, whether a foghorn blast on "too fast or a trombone boom on "I fall in love....
The set was quite a ride, including on a mellow oldie, "We'll Be Together Again, which involved a masterful bit of give and take as Hersch responded keys in hand to each nuance of King's vocal twists and turns. The show closed with a vocalese wham-bam on Miles and Jon Hendricks' "Four. Though it would be a potential minefield of lyrics for a lesser singer, King breezed through it with swinging clarity.
The recording also includes "Ain't Misbehavin' and "Autumn in New York, among other gems, as well as "There's A Small Hotel. Clarity, depth and musical know-how abound here. Given the stuff these two pros are giving out live and on disc, it's safe to say they're sure to be in continuing demand.

Smith, Tim J. and Henderson, J.M. (2011) Looking back at Waldo: oculomotor inhibition of return does not prevent return fixations. Journal of Vision 11 (1), p. 3. ISSN 1534-7362.Full text not available from this repository.
Inhibition of Return (IOR) is a difficulty in processing stimuli presented at recently attended locations. IOR is widely believed to facilitate foraging of a visual scene by decreasing the probability that gaze will return to previously fixated locations. However, there is a lack of clear evidence in support of the foraging facilitator hypothesis during scene search. The original R. M. Klein and W. J. MacInnes' (1999) Where's Waldo study reported a forward bias in the distribution of fixations that was taken as evidence for the foraging facilitator hypothesis. The present study was designed to replicate R. M. Klein and W. J. MacInnes' (1999) but include detailed analysis of fixation distributions in order to test the precise predictions of the foraging facilitator hypothesis. The results indicate that latencies of saccades returning to 1-back (and possibly 2-back) locations during visual search are elevated. However, there is no evidence that the probability of returning to these locations is significantly less than control locations. Eye movement behavior during search of visual scenes does not support the view that IOR facilitates foraging.

Angola Prison will probably always carry a mystique because it's wrapped around a violent and brutal history. For many outsiders, visiting Angola might seem like a step back to some distant past or time. It certainly evokes an imagery and language of the deepest South. But in touring Angola, one constantly becomes aware of all the newness and rebirth that surrounds what should seem hopeless. The front entrance to the massive prison grounds has a sign from Philippians 3:13, "Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead."
Burl Cain is the longest serving warden in the Louisiana prison's history. He's been an instrumental force in offering new ways to think about prison reform and moral rehabilitation. He cares about his inmates. That will be clear from this interview. Cain knows that the prison system in America is broken but he doesn't believe that inmates have to remain broken. The stories of redemption inside Angola should offer hope to us all.
"The Perfectibility Thesis – Still the Great Political Divide" by Wesley Gant is an essay about where we have been and where we are culturally, ideologically, and politically. "The perfectibility Thesis" is the great divide among political philosophers of all persuasions. If mankind is malleable and progress is merely a promise to embrace, such a responsibility must become the aim and purpose of government. But the price is nothing short of the abolition of individual sovereignty," declares Gant.
Dylan Pahman offers a thoughtful review of Just Politics by Ronald J. Sider. I review Grant's Final Victory, a great story of courage in American history. Grant battled financial ruin and raced against death to publish his memoirs. His work has been heralded as one of the greatest chronicles of war even written.
The "In the Liberal Tradition" figure is Calvin Coolidge. The 30th president of the United States of America actually cut taxes, spending, and downsized the federal government. A must read is his greatest work: "On the Occasion of the One Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence." It gives clear insight into the depth of his thought about the American experiment and timeless values and virtues.
Rev. Robert Sirico talks about some of the different meanings of freedom in "Freedom and Chaos." The essay is an excerpt from Defending the Free Market. It's a powerful and poignant piece that clears up the confusion in society about freedom and helps to point us to the virtuous, prudent, and the good.

Web video, especially comedy, works best when it's fast, cheap, and out of control: You get some friends together, bash out a few sketches on digital video, and pray for the gods of YouTube to anoint you with viral fame. Or does it? The filmmakers behind the new western comedy serial "Trails of Tarnation" prefer things slow, expensive, and painstakingly designed — from their handpainted sets (courtesy of Eisner Award winning cartoonist Nicholas Gurewitch) to the 16mm celluloid every episode is filmed on. Are they $*#%ing crazy? Maybe — but you can't fault their impeccable craftsmanship. Here's the first episode:
"Tarnation" frames its affectionate send-up of olde-tyme westerns (and unnervingly surreal humor) in a visual language of gorgeously grainy images, unpredictable practical effects (no poor-man's CGI here), and handcrafted set design. "There's something wonderful to be said about doing things the hard way," says Gurewitch, who went to film school before launching his cult-favorite comic strip, The Perry Bible Fellowship, and co-created "Trails of Tarnation" with collaborators Derek Walborn and Jeff Stanin. "Because we're shooting a project that takes place in the past, we wanted to use the technology that made it look that way."
They're not kidding: Every episode is shot on Kodak film stock with 16mm Bolex and Arriflex cameras on a tiny set in an office building in Rochester, NY. Not only can the filmmakers not see what they're doing until after they've processed the footage — "we've had entire rolls come back not properly exposed," admits Gurewitch — they can't even record sound on their ancient cameras. "We dub in all the dialogue later, just like the spaghetti westerns did back in the day," he says, with perverse pride.
But Gurewitch and his team aren't hipster masochists, forcing themselves to use antiquated gear out of a twee sense of nostalgia — it's all part of creating an immersively unique visual design that only analog tools can provide. "Just look at the images — they look sandy and gritty, like they came out of a saloon," says Stanin. "Even the mistakes are really fun. In one episode, the film goes off its registration at a climactic point and creates this amazing visual effect that's on par with a million dollars worth of digital postproduction. That 'mistake' is so beautiful, we want to create more opportunities to show stuff like that."
And unlike many ambitious web-video creators, the "Tarnation" crew doesn't have plans to "monetize" through sponsorship, or use the series as an industry calling card. "We figure we should just let it be born before we decide what it should be when it grows up," says Gurewitch. If they keep doing things the hard way and pulling it off with such aesthetic aplomb, they should have no trouble in that department.

WrestleMania 29 will take place on April 7th, 2013 at Met Life Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and WWE fans are already speculating as to who will be competing for the WWE Championship.
Will The Rock be in the title picture? Will CM Punk still hold the WWE's top prize? Will Ryback still be on a roll next spring?
There's no point in trying to predict outcomes. There are still too many variables, including injuries and unforeseen storyline changes to make full predictions. Here's what I think will happen in the main event at WM 29, along with my predicted matchups for all of the WWE title belts.

Where I stayed
Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe
Last night we had dinner at a Fado diner & a show kinda place. Food was OK and I really enjoyed the singing. It was in a very local feeling kind of area.
We made it back to the hotel in time to pass out after much walking throughout the day.
This morning we awoke and had a leisurely breakfast before heading out to the airport to grab our rental car.
Driving here is much less hectic than in Italy, but it still makes me a little crazy to drive in a foreign country for the first few hours.
We made it to Fatima in time for lunch and a quick stroll around the place. It is really huge! I believe that the area is bigger than St Peter's Square. It was amazing how it was hard to get a good sense for the size of it. At first I was amazed by the optical illusions of distance, size and space.
From there drove on to Port another couple of hours where with a little effort (and only turning around once) we found the hotel. Pretty impressive looking, even if its a bit of a distance form the center of town.
I fell in love with Port, Portugal!!! It gave me an old world San Francisco feel. The city of bridges--it sure has lots of them and they look spectacular at night.
Not much more for today as we're rushing out to breakfast and on our adventure in search of the Faria castle. I have GPS coordinates that I hope are correct. Hopefully I'll have photos of that this evening.
Hope you're having a wonderful Friday!!

The new GPU from Nvidia is not just a success. We can say that it pushes the performance bar in the $199-259 sector up much higher, and it is in this sector that there have been serious problems with gaming performance until the arrival of the GeForce 8800 GT. The new card is a kind of revolution since the GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB/320MB become outdated while the GeForce 8800 GTX is not as much better than the new card as to justify its price of $599.
The release of the GeForce 8800 GT cannot but provoke serious changes in Nvidia's current product line-up. The GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB will be discontinued, while the GeForce 8800 GTS will be replaced with an updated version that has 112 active shader processors to fill in the gap between the GeForce 8800 GT and GeForce 8800 GTX. Perhaps, the latter card will become cheaper because it doesn't seem right to buy a $599 card while you can get almost the same performance from a $259 product unless you want the support of triple- or quad-SLI technologies for further upgrade.
Although belonging to the mainstream category, the Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT 512MB delivers fantastic performance in most of today's games, being just a little inferior to the monstrous GeForce 8800 GTX. That's the effect of the tech process that helped increase the frequency of the shader processors greatly. Moreover, the Leadtek WinFast PX8800 GT Extreme sometimes had a higher performance than the GeForce 8800 GTX in our tests! The new card was only occasionally inferior or equal to the ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT 512MB. So, Nvidia hasn't developed a new GPU for the high-end market in the whole year since the release of the G80, but it now offers a product that makes the speed of the GeForce 8800 GTX affordable for buyers of mainstream graphics cards.
It is yet too early to claim that the Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT is the best graphics card of this winter, though. The recently announced ATI Radeon HD 3850 and HD 3870 are targeted at the below-$239 price sector but support DirectX 10.1, a HDMI interface and a better implementation of multi-GPU technologies.
We should also note certain drawbacks of the new product, the most important of which is its incompatibility with some mainboards that support the older PCI Express 1.0a standard. Perhaps this can be corrected by BIOS updates, yet the problem exists and many potential users can be taken aback at this news. We recommend you to make sure your mainboard supports PCI Express 1.1 before purchasing a GeForce 8800 GT. The new card has no problems with that standard as well as with PCI Express 2.0.
Another drawback that needs mentioning is the design of the cooling system. It's not quite clear why the developer limited himself to the single-slot form-factor if dual-slot coolers have long become a typical attribute of top-end graphics cards. Perhaps they wanted to simplify the installation of the GeForce 8800 GT into small system cases such as cases for multimedia systems. So, the cooler is indeed compact, but this compactness means a reduced efficiency since the hot air is not exhausted out of the system. We guess there'll be quite a lot of GeForce 8800 GT models with more efficient coolers on the market, though.
The Leadtek WinFast PX8800 GT Extreme doesn't differ from Nvidia's reference card in anything except for the GPU and memory frequencies. This product indicates that G92-based solutions feature excellent scalability and can easily reach the performance of a GeForce 8800 GTX and even higher.
The Leadtek product deserves our praises for its performance as well as accessories, particularly the copy of Neverwinter Nights 2. Of course, the pre-overclocked version of GeForce 8800 GT is going to cost more than the version with the reference frequencies, yet still much less than $599, which is the price of the 8800 GTX. So, if you are searching for a compromise between top performance and price, the Leadtek WinFast PX8800 GT Extreme may be just what you need.
Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT 512MB
- Best performance in $259 price range;
- Wide range of supported FSAA modes;
- Excellent anisotropic filtering quality;
- Fully-fledged hardware support for HD video decoding;

Demand for the top end of the luxury hotel market has been unaffected by the credit crunch, keeping prices for the best rooms at very high levels : the superrich are still willing to spend huge sums on staying at the best hotel rooms in the world, paying as much as $34,000 a night to lodge at the most luxurious suites, according Wealth-Bulletin's survey of the Top Ten Most Expensive Hotel Rooms in the World.
Also worth noting is the appearance of Dubai (the Burj Al Arab's Royal Suite, above) and Moscow hotels on the list, which would have been unheard of just a couple years ago. Here are the Top 10:
1. The Warner PentHouse, Four Seasons; New York, $34,000 per night.
2. Royal Penthouse suite, President Wilson Hotel, Geneva, $33,000 per night.
3. The Presidential Suite, Hotel Cala Di Volpe, Costa Smeralda, Italy $21,000 per night.
4. Royal Suite, Burj-Al-Arab, $18,000 per night.
5. Royal Armleder Suite, Le Richmond, Geneva, $17,500 per night.

9. Brook Penthouse, Claridges, London, $10,000 per night
10. Penthouse Suite, Hotel Martinez, Cannes, $9,300 per night (During the Cannes film festival week in May the price rockets to $48,000 a night).

'Game Over' For Congress At State & Centre
With political situation in Delhi heated up, vibes are coming out that the game of Congress is over both in Centre and in AP state. We all know about the scenario of AP, check the things about centre now!
At Centre, Congress is not ready to support the candidate proposed by Mamta Banerjee and Mulayam Singh. Both these key supporters of UPA2 want Abdul Kalam as president of India, while Cong wants Pranabh Mukherjee. On the other hand, UPA allies proposed the name of PM Manmohan as another option for presidential candidate, insulting the ruling party that he is unfit as Prime Minister of country. If Congress wants to go with its own candidate then they have to go against Trinamul and Samajwadi, which will lead to collapse of the government.
At State, By-poll result that is coming today holds the key. If most number of seats are swept by Jagan, then there will be too many migrations from Congress to YSRC, which will lead to mid-term in state.Finally, this week is crucial for the future of Congress to play their 'game' both at Centre and State.

My Most Useful Tool…
We take our tools for granted. A mind map, for instance, is the best way I know of to capture a load of information in a single page, and remember it.
Mind mapping is the most useful tool I have ever used. I still use it everyday. You can use it with any operating system: Windows, Mac, Linux, and even – and I know how outdated this is – the pencil and paper.
Tony Buzan told us 50 years ago that we think in pictures rather than in words. He developed a concept known as mind mapping. You might know it as spider mapping. I think of it as cheating. Legally, of course.
I first used it back in 1975 as I was desperately trying to complete my Matric exam with some dignity. I ended the mid-year exams with four "D", one "E", and one "G", but that was for Latin, which I still don't speak well. This was not enough to get into UCT Medical School.
I used this tool (back then the only operating system was pencil and paper) and a six months later I matriculated with five "B" results, and a "D" for Latin. That was enough to get me into first year Med School.
In the six months prior to the exams I encapsulated every textbook on a single page. This which made revising quite easy. I'm telling you this now because if you have children in school, this might be a useful tool for this year. It certainly was for my daughter back at Rhenish in standard eight when she was struggling.
I found it strange that this particular learning technique, which revolutionised my life, wasn't being taught by the school. We were being stuffed with facts, but with no way to put them into perspective.
Imagine a textbook. It consists of chapters. Each chapter is broken up into sections. And the chapter and the sections are full of words. The textbook comprises 300 pages of words. But most of us don't read words nearly as well as we grasp pictures. I know this because many of my Matric compatriots didn't read any of the setwork books during their entire high school career, preferring to gather their literary education through comics, picture books of the classics.
So, how to get context from a textbook? (Bear with me, because this tool is not just for study, but I will come to that in a moment.)
You start by quickly encapsulating the name of each chapter in a one page mindmep. That takes just a few minutes. You now have a small star in the middle of the page. Then for each chapter you list the key sections. This makes that small star look like a small explosion. And then for each section you list the key issues. That's one page covering the entire book. Only then do you start reading the book. At this point you have context.
Then, for each chapter you create its own mind map, this one more detailed than the previous one which encompassed all the chapters. This allows you to store to far more detail.
At the end of your studies you will end up with one page for the book, and one page for each chapter, each a mix of your own interpretation, your own terse notes about the content.
When you hit the exams, for each question, you simply recall the picture for that segment, and draw the map on your exam paper. In my day that map alone with the key points was worth a bunch of points. Then you write through the points and complete the essay/answer/review/analysis/comparison and impress the heck out of the examiners.
But this mind map tool is not just for exams. It's also for taking notes in any situation. I use it when I'm talking to clients. Instead of writing out the words in long sentences, I use a page for the entire discussion, simply noting the points discussed. It's rough but it's very easy to remember later. People tell me I have a great memory. I think it's because I use a pencil every time I talk to anybody.
It's great for analysing competitors, strengths, weaknesses, and so on. It's great for analysing the features of a product, and then deriving the benefits that a prospect will get, as well as working out how much money that person is likely to save using your product.
It's great for planning, so when I planned the Earnster.Ninja sysllabus I created a simple picture, one "branch" for each week, and then each branch opens into more detail.
You can download Freemind here for free for your own PC, or just grab the nearest pencil and get started right now.

Caribbean Princess Cruise Review by Sangamo: West Side Story redux
Overall Member Rating
West Side Story redux
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: San Juan
(From San Juan to NYC; kept humming "America" from West Side Story) Our third Princess cruise, first in Caribbean. My wife and I stayed two nights in Old San Juan pre cruise. Old city is walkable; unless you are venturing further afield no car needed or recommended - traffic and parking are tough. Free trolleys will take you around the city conveniently. We stayed at Hotel El Milano - room and price were good, but very noisy at night - between two nightclubs - so can't recommend on a weekend. Carnival embarks from Old San Juan, walkable from Sheraton Old San Juan, but Princess and others from Pan American Pier, a cab ride away. If you wish, you can buy liquor at duty free and carry on board as long as you conceal it inside your carry on before going through security. Embarkation went fairly smoothly.
We had a balcony stateroom on Baja deck aft; very convenient. Top decks can be quite noisy with music and Movies Under the Stars all More day, so I'd recommend if you want some peace and privacy. I don't think the recent drydock did much for the vessel; some areas were actually quite worn. The Piazza is new, but as others have noted, there was a bad odor from some of the cafe selections. Didn't like putting the Captain's Circle and future cruise desks in private offices; hard to see when they're there/available. Preferred the layout on Sapphire Princess. Pluses: did enjoy Movies Under the Stars in the evening; also, the Cafe Caribe concept was good for dinner if one did not want to go to the main dining room. Food was good; particularly the theme nights. Also, the Crown Grill has a no-extra charge "pub lunch" available with a limited menu; it was quite good. Ice cream (soft serve) is available all day free of charge; on the Sapphire it was limited to an hour in the afternoon. Minuses: dinner service in the anytime dining rooms was quite slow if one sat with a group; quicker if you have your own table for two.
St. Thomas: we took a ship's tour to Mountain Top for $29 pp - cheapest Princess shore excursion I've seen. We enjoyed the view and then back to Charlotte Amalie for shopping. I did the sightseeing walking tour; not that much there. Some people took the boat over to St. John for more natural scenery and enjoyed that. Unfortunately the ship docks at the new cruise terminal; not much there, so you have to take a taxi into town (easily available).
Antigua: we rented a car (first time driving on the "wrong" side of the road - we survived!). There is not much to see in St. Johns, and it is somewhat dirty. Driving wasn't bad once you get out of the city proper; just keep left! We drove around the island and stopped at a beach with hardly anyone there. We also visited the Royal Naval Dockyard, which I would highly recommend if you are at all interested in history. Betty's Hope plantation can be skipped; not much there.
Bermuda: I rented a scooter and took the ferry from Dockyard to St. George's, rode from St. George's to Hamilton, and then took ferry back to Dockyard, to see as much as possible. You can take your scooter on the ferry for an additional token. Note: if you don't get right off the ship, there will be a HUGE line to purchase ferry tokens. Stopped at Crystal Caves, which were interesting although not that large. Great tour guide. The ship was a little delayed disembarking, so could have missed the ferry. I had not ridden a motorized cycle before; I survived, but unless you are a competent rider, I'd recommend taking the bus, which runs frequently and is less stressful. If you want to see everything, I recommend taking my route; the ferry from Dockyard to St. George. St. George is very small and you can cover quickly; then take bus to Hamilton. There is a beach en route if you want to stop over. There's also a fair amount of shopping in the Dockyard area.
Disembarkation in Brooklyn was a little slow, but luggage was ready when we got off; we had a car service pick us up. Overall, an enjoyable trip - wanted to visit Puerto Rico, USVI, and Bermuda, so a good itinerary. Less

Fall 2016 I am teaching an elective course which is an introduction to Computational Biology from the perspective of Big Data. The course webpage is here.
I am also teaching Discrete Mathematics which I also taught in Fall 2008, Fall 2009, Spring 2010, Spring 2012, Fall 2012, Spring 2013 and Spring 2016.
Spring 2015, I also taught Advanced Algorithms which I last taught in Spring 2011 and in Spring 2009.
Fall 2015 I am teaching Computation Theory
Spring 2013 I am also taught an advanced graduate seminar in Computational Biology, focused on PPI networks, and protein structure alignment.
Fall 2011, I taught Comp 167-- Computational Biology--
Fall 2010, I taught Protein Bioinformatics Topics
Please note that the course links below point to the course web page for the *current* semester at Tufts, i.e. if it's a previous year, and I wasn't the last to teach it, you are going to be looking at the homepage for someone else's version of the class.
Spring 2008 I taught Algorithms.
Fall 2007 I taught one of my favorite courses: Graph Theory.
In Fall 2006, I taught Algorithms and an advanced topics seminar in Computational Biology.
In Spring 2006 I taught an introductory course in Cryptography
In Fall 2005 I taught Combinatorial Optimization
In Fall 2004 I taught Computational Biology (I also co-taught this class in Fall of 2002. )
Spring 2004 and Spring 2002 I taught an Advanced Algorithms class. Here's a little blurb.
Spring 2003 and Spring 2005 I taught and co-taught Theory of Computing
Fall 2002 I taught: Cryptography and Security and
Fall 2001 I taught COMP 15: Data Structures in C++.
Here are the classnotes for two of the graduate courses I taught at Hopkins: Approximation Algorithms and The Probabilistic Method.
I would say that my research interests are
probably far too broad for my
own good. I have inherited my advisor's love of good
problems, wherever they be found.
Exploiting locality and approximate distance have been persistent themes,
even across catagories, for example they have been used in our approach both
to routing and to classification and clustering problems. Now I am finding that my work on networks and graph algorithms may have some interesting synergies with computational biology and functional genomics. Research interests include:
My research in computational structural bioinformatics is funded by NIH grant 1R01GM080330-01A1 . Previous recent grants from NSF (grant CCR0208629) funded work on approximate routing, and portions of my computational biology research were previously funded by an NSF Large ITR grant with me as the Tufts PI and Simon Kasif of BU as the main PI.
My Ph.D. advisor was Daniel J. Kleitman ; my Ph.D. students to date were Christine Cheng (JHU/1999), 1/2 Christopher Wagner (JHU/1999), Adam Cannon (JHU/2000), Arthur Brady (Tufts/2008), Anoop Kumar (Tufts/2010) and Noah Daniels, (Tufts/2013). My current Ph.D. students are Mengfei Cao , Andrew Gallant and Hao Zhang.

High School Math Camps
The American Mathematics Society is now giving out grants to high school math camps!! They are currently raising endowment to support it, they are having real mathematicians judging the programs, they are charging 0 overhead to administer the program, and basically, I can't think of a better "bang" for your buck than supporting this, so check out their application process and give them money!!
As part of their effort, they are also (orthogonal to this) providing a central website where you can read about all the math camps (whether they applied for an AMS grant or not) -- so if you know a bright high school student, point them at this Information about High School Math Camps Site (I myself an alum of the Hampshire College Summer Studies in Math program, and I recommend it very highly!!)

Their cross product, the "fundamental vector product" for the surface, oriented in the positive z direction, is and so the "vector differential of surface area is .

Musical notes and quotes
Seeking something a little lighter, I slipped Elizabeth Rose's "Sleep Naked" (www.elizabethrosemusic.com) into the player and glanced at her extensive liner notes. Customary credits to her sound engineers, graphic designers and friends were mixed in with a nod to her pajamas, gospel churches and fellow singers who "graced this album" and their "sense of humor." Singer/songwriter Michele Branch is quoted as saying, "I think it's so cool that [someone] can pick up a guitar and create something that didn't exist five minutes ago. You can write something that no one's ever heard before." While that's certainly true of both Switko and Rose, it's the latter, whose ability to pen clever, witty, wildly amusing and well crafted songs that made me want to live again. "Naked" is filled with variety. Rock, blues, jazz, country and soul are covered on this album, and (dare I say?) she does them all well. An accomplished musician, it's Rose's lyrics that shine for me, and while I have no knowledge of her influences, I was reminded of Noel Coward and Stephen Sondheim at times. It seems clear that Rose has had her fill of heartache and bad relationships, but unlike Switko's gravely off-key lament, Elizabeth relies on an amusing turn of phrase and sharp-tongued sarcasm to carry her catchy tunes. The sweet title track is juxtaposed by a political statement in "Oil," followed by the autobiographical "Deliver me." Additional tracks, "Leave Me Alone," and the hilarious "Whistle at Me," all have one thing in common: storytelling. Rose is masterful at conveying her feelings and expressing her thoughts on a number of subjects. "Sleep Naked" gives the listener a chance to get to know this entertainer, and I found myself wanting more. Will she use my thoughts in her liner notes? I doubt it, but that's OK. Elizabeth Rose doesn't need my stamp of approval.
Interested in my humble opinion of your work? Send your CD's and books to Jonathan Fox, C/O The River Reporter, 93 Erie Avenue, Narrowsburg, NY 12764. Maybe I can crush your dreams, too. Or, as Marc Switko so eloquently phrased it, "A crust of bread, a burning bed, I pray I can get it out of my head."

With yet another dead end in the search for what happened to aviatrix Amelia Earhart, it is worth noting that Beech-Nut Packing Co., then based in Canajoharie, was one of her sponsors. Beech-Nut sponsored Earhart's 1931 cross-country flights in the Pitcairn Auto Gyro. The craft combined features of an airplane and a helicopter. Earhart is pictured in the cockpit of the auto gyro bearing a Beech-Nut logo in a photo at Canajoharie's Arkell Museum. Beech-Nut ...

Neurofeedback research in a model closely related to humans is recommended to rule out placebo effects and unspecific factors bridging the gap between nonvalidated empirical and standardized controlled research. In this article, telemetric sensorimotor rhythm (SMR; 11–14 Hz) feedback training in the marmoset monkey is applied to examine the monkey's capability to voluntary control their brain activity. Four monkeys, provided with two epidural bioelectric electrodes above the sensorimotor cortex, were trained with positive reinforcement on SMR measured by online analyses of 1.28 s electroencephalogram epochs in 30-min sessions. These monkeys learned within five sessions to increase their α activity. The first evidence of nonhuman primates having an operant control over the SMR is provided, an initial step for a much-needed scientific basis to neurofeedback.

Macaroy Kangaroo is one of those companies that I have been
She has a little bit of everything for you or your little one! She offers everything from cute little bath towels , plates, bags and so much more!
After I contacted Kristen she offered to send me a personalized bib and a set of Monthly Onesie Baby Stickers. Since we are the family that likes to be surprised to the sex of our babies I asked her to send a bib for our little guy who just turned 1! He doesn't wear one often, but occasionally I like to throw one on him and I knew Easter day I would have him wearing one , so she sent this cute "springy" bib that I just love!!!
Also , for the onesie stickers she sent us a pack called "Surprise me!" what a perfect title!! :) They are all so cute and will work perfect for a boy or girl baby.
I think it is so cute and it was so easy to stick on! I can't wait to use these with baby #3 (although I can wait for him/her to turn 6 months old!) I know it will go by too quickly!
Kristen is great to work with! (I actually just ordered some beach towels with the boys names on them to throw in their Easter baskets and she had them made up and packaged to mail out the same day I ordered them!) I think I will be a frequent customer of Macaroy Kangaroo and would definitely encourage you to check out her store! Kristen has also been kind enough to offer a giveaway of a personalized bib (you tell her the gender and she will choose the bib) and your choice of a pack of monthly onesie stickers! Just fill out the form below, I will leave this open until Wednesday April 18th, Good Luck!

Trailer Talk: This Week in Movies - 'Drive Angry 3D,' 'Hall Pass,' & More
I watched "The Fighter" last week, which was the final Best Picture Oscar nominee that I needed to see before the Academy Awards. Although I had heard mixed reviews of the David O. Russell drama, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the film.
Even though the story centers around a boxer, part of what makes it interesting is that there is less focus on the actual matches themselves and more on the main character Mickey Ward's (Mark Wahlberg) struggle to separate himself from the people trying to control his life: his mother (Melissa Leo), his brother (Christian Bale), and his girlfriend (Amy Adams).
What really gives the movie its strength is the complex performances of Christian Bale, Melissa Leo, and Amy Adams. The other part of the knockout punch is the awesome music selection, which aside from the Red Hot Chili Peppers song "Strip My Mind," is just spot on. Probably the weakest acting in the film came from the star himself, Mark Wahlberg, who seemed mentally vacant throughout the story. This unfortunately created a significant hole in the movie and made his character pretty hard to root for. My Grade: B+
This week in movies Nicolas Cage is behind the wheel in "Drive Angry 3D," Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis take a hilarious week off from marriage in "Hall Pass," a group of monks try to survive war-torn Algeria in "Of Gods and Men," friends become caught in a love triangle in "Heartbeats," and a pastor who also works as a cop tries to help his partner cope with grief in "The Grace Card."
Milton (Nicolas Cage), a former criminal, breaks out of hell in order to accomplish a crucial mission: he must prevent the cult who murdered his daughter from sacrificing his grandchild. With the help of a young waitress (Amber Heard) and her ex-boyfriend's muscle car, the duo takes on the cult's leader, the police, and a killer known as "The Accountant" (William Fichtner) who's hoping to return Milton to the Devil.
Patrick Lussier, the director of 2009's "My Bloody Valentine," helms this high octane action film. Lussier co-writes the screenplay with Todd Farmer, his scribe for "My Bloody Valentine."
WHO SHOULD SEE IT: Audiences that enjoy Patrick Lussier's work as an editor and director in the horror genre should see his transition to action thrillers with this movie. If you love Nicolas Cage no matter what he's in, you should watch "Drive Angry 3D."
Two married men (Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis) are granted a week off from marriage to engage in whatever affairs they desire, though once they realize their wives have the same opportunity too, they start to rethink the decision.
Sibling team Peter and Bobby Farrelly, the minds behind twisted comedies like "Dumb and Dumber" and "There's Something About Mary," return to co-write and direct this comedy. The Farrellys pen the screenplay with the assistance of Pete Jones and Kevin Barnett.
WHO SHOULD SEE IT: Those who appreciate buddy comedies should watch as hilarity ensues when these two married men attempt to pick up women. If you're a fan of the slapstick humor and gross-out gags that make the Farrelly Brothers famous, then you should view "Hall Pass."
Eight French Christian monks residing in a Muslim community in North Africa, grapple with whether to leave their village as a fundamentalist group invades the region.
French filmmaker Xavier Beauvois directs and co-writes this fact-based drama. He pens the story with the aid of first time scribe Etienne Comar.
WHO SHOULD SEE IT: Foreign film aficionados should be first in line to see this historical drama. If you appreciate stories where the characters struggle to maintain their faith in the face of adversity, then you should check out "Of Gods and Men."
Two close friends, Francis (Xavier Dolan) and Marie (Monia Chokri) meet Nicolas (Niels Schneider) at a dinner party, and the trio starts to spend a lot of time together. With each passing day though, Nicolas becomes more remote, which causes Francis and Marie to battle for his attention.
Indie auteur Xavier Dolan writes, directs, and stars in this story about three friends trapped in a love triangle.
WHO SHOULD SEE IT: Independent film fans that enjoy when an actor writes and directs a movie should see this. If you particularly prefer to watch foreign titles in French then you should catch "Heartbeats."
This drama focuses on the potentially explosive partnership between a veteran cop (Michael Joiner) anguished by the loss of his son, and a rising star on the force (Mike Higgenbottom) who is also a part-time pastor.
David G. Evans earns his first film credit directing this spiritual drama, which is written by Howard Kalusner, the scribe for 2000's "Space Cowboys." Veteran actor Louis Gossett Jr. co-stars in the movie.
WHO SHOULD SEE IT: Viewers searching for a drama about friendship and overcoming loss should see this movie. If you're interested to something with a deeper spiritual message than the average fare then you should seek out "The Grace Card."

[Source: Luna Rossa] Team Luna Rossa wins the GC32 Austria Cup, the first event of the GC32 European Tour and dedicates its victory to Valentin Mankin, one of the greatest representatives of the international sailing.
Very light and shifty winds characterized the GC32 Austria Cup; despite the weather, the teams flew on the water with only 8 knots of wind thanks to the latest changes made to the Class that introduced the L-foil in place of the previous daggerboards.
The eight competing teams alternated onboard of the four GC32 boats provided by the organizers of the event. Team Luna Rossa won the qualifying races of the first four days, after which the crews were divided into Gold and Silver fleets and the score was reset. Luna Rossa won the three races of the Gold fleet, thus winning the first event of the GC32 European Tour.
Luna Rossa finished in first place 10 of the 13 races sailed, beating, among the others, its direct opponent: AEZ Sailing Team with the Australian Tom Slingsby, strategist of Oracle Team USA during the 34th America's Cup.
Chris Draper, helmsman of Luna Rossa, commented: "We are very happy with the result, the average speed at which we sailed and the boat handling. The GC32s are very challenging full foiling catamarans, especially from a physical point of view. The speed is remarkable: with only 10 knots of breeze, we exceeded 30 knots of speed. This event was a great workout in view of the 35th America's Cup; we have measure ourselves against competitive teams on short race courses, on catamarans that are similar, in some respects, to the America's Cup Class boats. This victory is a confirmation of the good work that the team is doing in Cagliari."
Francesco Bruni, tactician on Luna Rossa, added: "We want to dedicate this victory to Valentin Mankin, who in recent years has fought bravely against his desease. Valentin was one of the greatest representatives that the sport of sailing has ever known: three golds and one silver medal at the Olympics in different classes, as well as coach of the Italian Sailing Federation since 1991. A keen sailor and an exceptional man who was my coach for several years, from whom I learned a lot. An eternal embrace to a great man to whom I owe so much."
In Austria team Luna Rossa consisted of: Chris Draper (helmsman), Francesco Bruni (tactician/mainsail trimmer), Adam Minoprio (tailer), Emanuele Marino (bowman) and Pietro Sibello (coach).
Luna Rossa will be back racing from June 5th to June 9th in Langenargen, Germany, for the Match Race Germany, the first stage of the Alpari World Match Racing Tour 2014.

Like any good cinephile, we treat the release of a new Coen brothers movie as an event. Their latest, Inside Llewyn Davis, is the first in twenty years not to be shot by Roger Deakins, and tells the story of a New York folk singer in the 60′s. After their recent run of movies (No Country for Old Men, Burn After Reading, A Serious Man, True Grit), we can't wait to see what they do next.
This one stars Oscar Isaac, who plays the titular Davis, and the trailer doesn't tell us much about the plot, except that he's a struggling musician and it's the first film since O Brother Where Art Thou to reunite the Coens with the always dependable John Goodman. There's also a number of famous faces, with Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake and Garrett Hedlund also making appearances. Here's that trailer:
The trailer is odd in that there's no studio attached, and we have no sense when the film will be released, though it is finished. Could it get a Cannes launch? Seems likely if it's finished. This is also Oscar Isaac's big break. He's been in a number of films recently, mostly in smaller roles, and this looks to be his breakthrough role. We'll keep you posted when the film is scheduled for release and all that.
What's your favorite Coen Brothers film?
