Texas Tech selected to host national NACTA Judging Conference next April
Texas Tech University will host more than 40 colleges and their students at the North American Colleges and Teachers of Agriculture (NACTA) Judging Conference on April 3-5, university officials announced today (Aug. 7). Some 800 Students from across the nation will compete in 13 different contests to establish who walks away with the professional society's top prizes.
Nineteen four-year division schools competed and 21 two-year division schools competed in last year's competitions, which featured four-year and two-year division sweepstakes, said Cindy Akers, Tech's College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resource Associate Dean for Academic and Student Programs.
NACTA focuses on the personal and professional development of members through education and building relationships, she said. Students will compete in a broad spectrum of contests, including: horse judging, livestock judging, meat judging, horticulture judging, soil judging, crops judging, dairy judging, quiz bowl, ag communications, ag business, ag mechanics and computer applications.
Serving as the host institution, Texas Tech students are not able to compete in these contests, but they'll be instrumental in the success of implementing each contest, Akers said. In addition to the students, many community volunteers are expected to step forward to make the event a success. Lubbock's Overton Hotel and Conference Center will serve as the host hotel and the location for the conference's banquet.
Among the NACTA honors to be presented are the E. B. Knight Journal Award; Jack Everly Journal Award; Murray Brown NACTA Leadership Award; and Distinguished Educator Award; along with graduate student awards; teacher fellow awards; regional outstanding teacher awards; and the teaching award of excellence.
Texas Tech, which has an enrollment of approximately 32,000 students, is located on 1,850 acres in Lubbock, a city of approximately 230,000 on the Texas High Plains. As the primary research institution in the western two-thirds of the state, Texas Tech is home to 10 colleges, a school of law, and a graduate school.
Formed in 1955, the North American Colleges and Teachers of Agriculture is a professional society that focuses on the scholarship of teaching and learning agriculture and related disciplines at the post-secondary level. NACTA members are from two-year and four-year colleges, public and private. The 2014 NACTA Judging Conference will be hosted by Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Mo.

A disaster or a tragedy are words we dread to hear
For every time that one occurs it take the life of someone dear.
The latest one to happen in the seas off Donegal
Brought heartache pain and sorrow, to people big and small.
It happened on a winter night when New Year had just gone by
In gale force winds and stormy seas, neath a dark and angry sky.
To people sitting in their homes, no harm could come their way
But we never thought of fishermen out toiling in the bay.
When first we heard a trawler sank sad thoughts came to our minds,
We dearly hoped and prayed to God survivors they would find.
The crew were young but wise in youth, like all men of the sea
For a job like theirs demands so much, skilled men they had to be.
Their fishing o'er and heading back on that cold and fateful night
When hidden danger took a hand, and their boat plunged out of sight.
Their comrades searched the sea around but no trace could be seen
Of six young men, God rest their souls, lost in a sea of green.
Days have passed, the search goes on, two bodies they have found
But search they will undaunted, for friends by now feared drowned.
These six young men have lost their lives in a sad and tragic way
But we'll remember all of them each time we kneel to pray.
And to their wives and families, no words can ease their pain
But good is good and heaven is the place where we meet again.

Walker pulls a McCallum with foreclosure settlement
The governor and attorney general erred by pledging to commit most of the money over which they have control to a one-time budget fix.
In July 2002, then-Gov. Scott McCallum signed a budget-repair bill into law that used $825 million in settlement money from the big tobacco companies to balance a gaping hole in the state budget. That was on top of another $450 million in tobacco money used for the same purpose the summer before.
McCallum and the Legislature balanced the budget all right - for a few months - but at a high cost to good government.
"Dumb and dumber," we wrote at the time. "Think about winning the lottery and spending every nickel in the first year."
And now . . . just as dumb.
A decision last week by Gov. Scott Walker and Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen to use $25.6 million of Wisconsin's share of another legal settlement - this time with the big banks over foreclosure fraud - to plug another budget hole has a familiar ring to it.
The state will receive about $141 million in money pried loose from the banks to help cities and people who fell victim to fraud and sketchy underwriting. Of that $141 million, the state gets control of $31.6 million. And of that $31.6 million, Walker and Van Hollen are proposing to use most of it as a one-time budget fix.
"Just like communities and individuals have been affected, the foreclosure crisis has had an effect on the state of Wisconsin, in terms of unemployment," Walker said. "This will offset that damage done to the state of Wisconsin."
This from a governor who had bragged about balancing budgets without gimmicks. That's all this is: another gimmick and not even a new one.
The $141 million coming to Wisconsin breaks down this way: up to $60 million for loan modifications and other relief for homeowners; $17.2 million in direct payments to eligible borrowers; $31.3 million in refinancing benefits for eligible borrowers; and that $31.6 million that went directly to the state.
All of it should be used directly for foreclosure remediation. That's what it was intended for. That's what it should be used for. Yes, it's a lot less money than McCallum squandered 10 years ago, but the principle is the same.
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, an outspoken critic of the governor and the attorney general, said that the city has 4,800 vacant and abandoned properties that would cost about $48 million to tear down. Between 2008 and 2010, almost 16,000 Milwaukee property owners were told that they had defaulted on their mortgage payments. And even though there are signs the economy is improving, the housing crisis is far from over. New foreclosure filings continue to roll in. About 6,000 homes in the city are in foreclosure.
The city has received $37 million in federal assistance, which is being used to buy and renovate the best of the foreclosed homes, to demolish others and to establish a land bank for foreclosed properties. But it wasn't enough, and the federal well is dry.
Drive the streets in some Milwaukee neighborhoods, and it's easy to see why Barrett is so concerned. Homes whose windows are boarded over with the city's telltale green plywood stick out like missing teeth. The mayor and other political leaders held a news conference this week in the 2500 block of N. 38th St. to complain about the decision. The city owns eight of the 32 properties on the block.
"The city is the largest property owner on this block, and the governor and attorney general have turned their backs on the city," said Barrett, who may run against Walker in a recall election this year.
Barrett is right on this one. Walker and Van Hollen should use all of the settlement dollars to alleviate the foreclosure crisis, especially in Milwaukee, which was hardest hit. They should find another way to plug the budget hole.
Don't pull a McCallum on us.
By the numbers
- Milwaukee homes in foreclosure: 5,987
- Bank-owned properties: 1,783
- City-owned properties: 721
Should the state use some of the foreclosure settlement money to plug a hole in the state budget? To be considered for publication as a letter to the editor, e-mail your opinion to the Journal Sentinel editorial department.

Manchester United were leading great rivals Manchester City 2-0 in the Premier League local derby when they had a great chance for a third goal, which would doubtless have sealed the three points.
Robin van Persie twisted free on the edge of the box and arrowed a fine shot past Joe Hart which hit the inside of the post—leaving Ashley Young free to tap home United's third.
His celebrations were short-lived, though, as the offside flag went up immediately to deny him the goal, and, in truth, neither he nor his teammates particularly appealed the decision—but the video above shows that they should have.
Pablo Zabaleta was clearly playing Young onside, and United should have been out of sight.
The goal remained disallowed, and United's problems were compounded just seconds later, as City went straight up the other end, and, despite the best efforts of David De Gea, Yaya Toure pulled a goal back for the home team.
United still lead 2-1, but a game which should have been out of sight and tied up, leaving United six points clear at the top of the Premier League, was suddenly back in the balance and needing a big last 20 minutes to claim victory.
There were several other incidents of note which the referee and his assistants affected during the course of the second half, but the offside decision and subsequent City goal have arguably been the biggest of them...so far.
Wayne Rooney scored both of United's goals in the first half.
The timeline of reaction on Twitter to the offside incident clearly showed how many viewers were in agreement with the decision initially—only for replays to soon prove it incorrect and incense the away support:
NO GOAL! The one time Ashley Young decides to stay on his feet and he's only offside. He won't do that again in a hurry— MirrorFootball (@MirrorFootball) December 9, 2012
Van Persie against the post and Young puts in the rebound - but the offside flag goes up.— Phil McNulty (@philmcnulty) December 9, 2012
Moments earlier, United had the ball in the net but Ashley Young's effort was ruled out for offside. Will the decision prove pivotal?— bet365 (@bet365) December 9, 2012
Young's goal was not offside. United denied a clear goal.— Manchester United (@MUFCanalysis) December 9, 2012
...first look at the Young no-goal showed him clearly offside. Replays from the other side showed him on thanks to Zabaleta.

Last week I talked about individual New Year's Resolutions and the unlikelihood that anyone makes resolutions, let alone keeps them. I was pleasantly surprised to hear from a number of people who not only make some interesting resolutions, they keep them.
I shouldn't have been surprised. Our community is made up of many strong-willed, enthusiastic and caring people. So when I sat down to write this week's Unorganized Territory, I thought I'd introduce an idea for a countywide New Year's Resolution.
Unorganized as always, I didn't think of the idea of a group resolution until working on the last couple issues of the Cook County News- Herald. The first few weeks of each year are filled with "organizational meetings." That sounds like something I should be attending to try to make my way out of Unorganized Territory, but these meetings are actually governmental meetings occupied with "housekeeping." Various boards and commissions swear in new members, decide who is going to serve as committee or board chair, and talk about meeting dates and times.
It is encouraging to see citizens stepping up. It is refreshing to hear a new board or committee member question the status quo. It's not that the sitting board or commission members are doing anything wrong. It's just that after a few years on a governmental body, citizens get a bit world-weary. It seems like the same problem keeps coming up at meeting after meeting. Long-time board members develop a shorthand filled with acronyms and remember whens. It's easy to answer every new idea with "We tried that. It didn't work."
A new face in a group can shake things up a bit. Not just by introducing new ideas, which is exciting, but just by asking "why?" When the citizens or elected officials who have served for a long time have to stop and explain why they do what they do, they too sometimes realize that there might be a better way to proceed.
That is just what happened at the latest meeting I attended, the Cook County – Grand Marais Economic Authority, the EDA. I won't go into the convoluted history of the EDA or argue if it is necessary to have an EDA. I'll just say that there have been times when it has been difficult to watch the EDA in action—or inaction. However, the last meeting was different, at least when the discussion turned to the future of the Cedar Grove Business Park.
The business park has been a disappointment. A number of businesses have expressed interest in purchasing a lot and time after time have withdrawn for various reasons, but primarily because of the inability of government to move swiftly. The 30 or so tree-shaded lots with lake views, a paved road, and power and water have sat vacant for years, not adding jobs to our community, not adding dollars to our tax coffers.
So, one of the newer EDA board members, Abby Tofte, who has served for just about a year now, introduced a novel idea to get some lots to sell. Tofte proposed that the EDA allow business owners to construct a building that includes upstairs living quarters. That way, a fledgling business owner could leverage his or her finances to create a workspace and living space. There are a number of ways it could work, but Tofte said it would be ideal for some of the artists in our community who can't afford studio and gallery space in addition to a mortgage.
Howard Hedstrom, who had just been sworn in to serve on the EDA board, chimed in with support. And the EDA's county board representative, Commissioner Heidi Doo- Kirk, another relatively new EDA board member asked, "What do we need to do to get this done?"
The entire EDA board got on board with the idea and agreed to explore it. It might turn out to not be feasible. But it is encouraging to see a new idea accepted so readily.
Which brings me to my idea for a communitywide New Year's Resolution. Let's follow the EDA's example in this instance. When we hear an idea that might bring change, but that could benefit the community in the long run, let's not look for reasons why it can't be done. Let's talk about it and work together to see if it can be done. Let's resolve to get it done.

We've had Tebowing and Griffining and now we have Kaepernicking. Is it ever going to end?
- Image from NFL Memes
Of course, I'd be more tolerant of Colin Kaepernick's signature move—kissing his tattooed right bicep—if the San Francisco 49ers quarterback hadn't been entitled to celebrate quite so often during his game against my Green Bay Packers. But I do believe this celebration business has gone too far.
Teenage gridders all over America are standing in front of their mirrors, practicing their moves—not their football moves, but their touchdown and sack dances—so they'll have something fancy to trot out when they grow up and get a crack at the NFL.
It reminds me of the strippers in the Broadway musical Gypsy (1959, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim) advising a young Gypsy Rose Lee:
"You can sacrifice your sacro
Working in the back row.
Bump in a dump till you're dead.
Kid, you gotta have a gimmick
If you wanna get ahead."
The officials exercise their authority to penalize players for excessive celebration, prompting some fans to complain about the No Fun League. But they're inconsistent. They'll flag a spontaneous snow angel in a whitened end zone but ignore elaborate routines more properly reserved for Dancing with the Stars.
Aha, you say. But what about Packer celebrations? Aaron Rodgers' championship belt move? Discount Double Check! Clay Matthews' Predator? Gilbert Brown's historic Gravedigger? Wouldn't you miss those if celebrations were outlawed?
Sure I would. But watching a perfectly thrown Rodgers pass or Matthews charging untouched into the opposing backfield provides enough thrills for me. When Brett Favre was quarterbacking the Packers, he'd simply jump up and down like a little kid after a successful strike. That was pure fun!
I could certainly live without The Fin, Jermichael Finley's set of movements that evoke a shark. Early in the 2012 season, he was doing it after every catch. C'mon, J-Mike, isn't catching the ball what we pay you to do? By the end of the year, Finley was making more catches and reserving The Fin for the big ones. I liked that—and him—a lot better.
I admit I even have reservations about the beloved Lambeau Leap. I've always wondered whether Vince Lombardi would have condoned the Leap. I can hear him barking, "Mister, where do you think you're going? You've got another three quarters of football to play! Get back to the sideline and see your position coach! You could get hurt jumping into the stands that way!" Okay, maybe that last part came from me, the Jewish mother, not Lombardi.
To prove my point, I leave you with the words of the late, great coach Paul Brown. Back in the '70s, when Brown was coaching the Cincinnati Bengals, Bob Trumpy celebrated his first pro touchdown by tossing the ball into the stands.
"Son," Brown admonished him, "Act like you've been there before."

The most recent episode of Mad Men, 'Signal 30,' is an exploration of friendship. Workplace friendship, in particular.
Friendship is described by the show's hardened advertising executives as a crucial part of one's strategy, a manner of winning over a client. You share some confession, you listen to theirs, and you become "conspirators," or, as the character Roger says, adding scare quotes with his hands, "friends."
Indeed, later, the man whose account they are trying to land explains he'd like to have some "fun" with the people he is going to work with. (They found this "fun" and it would have secured the deal, had the details of their "conspiracy" not been discovered by the client's wife.)
We see the main character, Don Draper, very reluctantly agree to go to his colleague's house in the suburbs for dinner, but we also see him having a very nice time. (Something he even confesses to.) So perhaps there is more to work friendship than a means to an end. Maybe these guys are real friends?
Not so fast. The episode ends with Pete complaining bitterly about being beaten up in an office by Lane, (the title of the episode, Signal 30, is the police code for trauma) saying "this is an office. We are supposed to be friends." (As viewers, we know Pete's "friends" thought a beating was a long time coming. )
The writers of Mad Men have very ably managed to make us question the very nature of work friendships. This is when we might have thought that whether business associates can be friends is simply an empirical question, and not one that would seem to be very pressing (wouldn't we know when we have a friend or not?) But the issue is actually of some philosophical significance.
I don't just mean that, as the writers of Mad Men make clear, the matter is not actually obvious and is worth pondering. There is a philosophical account of the market that might be supported, or refuted, if we can figure out whether we can really be in business with someone, and at the same time be friends.
Value in Ethics and Economics
University of Michigan's Elizabeth Anderson wrote a wonderful book titled "Value in Ethics and Economics" a few years back. (Since then, she has not stopped coming up with new approaches in other areas of philosophy.) She argues that we can characterize the market through a set of norms.
Roughly, she suggests that the market is:
1. impersonal
2. marked by freedom
3. where goods that are rivals are traded (they are not "shared goods")
4. where we care only about wants
5. where we mark our choices by exit.
Though I should probably illustrate what she means when it comes to each of these descriptors, let me here just say that, according to Anderson, only "economic goods" ought to be got (and sold) in accordance with these five norms. "Economic goods" are the only sort of goods that we ought to "use", rather than (4.) "respect," (5.) "personally value," or (6.) "share."
In short, according to Anderson if we try to understand friends as "economic goods" we will run into trouble.
Why? Allow me to let someone else explain in the next section.
The Implications of Hiring Your Friends
On my campus we recently held an essay contest to see if students could help us settle this issue. No, we didn't relate Anderson's view to Mad Men (what an idea!) But we asked students to test Anderson's view by considering whether fraternities and sororities ought to allow members to pay other members to do their chores. Would this undermine the very values—of fraternity and sorority—that the organizations were designed around?
Here is a selection from the winning essay, by Stefan Koester.
"If a fraternity brother were to ask another brother to do certain personal chores in exchange for money, they would be introducing an extrinsic value, money, into a relationship that is supposed to be founded on an intrinsic ideal. A brother may seek the lowest price possible for the service, thus introducing competition among members of the applicant pool. This competition within the fraternity undermines the incommensurable values of which the association is founded upon by applying quantitative measures of each individual's worth. The information conveyed within the price represents a function of the utility of the individual. One member could be worth so much per hour relative to another member. The distillation of a member to a basic function of utility diminishes the dialogue required of friendship. If someone is represented merely by their monetary worth then there is no need for interaction beyond the strict limitations of market mechanisms. The value of the person is equal to their wage and its relative worth. One could very likely become best friends with their hired employee; however the basis of that relationship is founded not on the intrinsic joy of friendship, but the extrinsic function of a transaction."
It's good, right?
He continues: "By commodifying a relationship we find it difficult to make sense of both ourselves and societal norms[1]. If a person is only worth a certain amount to me I have no incentive to continue to interact with them if it conflicts with my self-interest. Societal norms such as trust, honesty, politeness and respect are, therefore, only reserved for those whom I happen to interact with within the market structure. This view of human value denies the fact that we are psychological creatures defined by our attitudes towards things.
Society is not merely a creation of causal events that establish certain attitudes in response to various incentives. We do not live in a narrow one-way-street world in which we only create our valuation of things. Our attitude towards things plays a role in how we come to value other things. Operating only within the confines of a current state of evaluation, without regard for the intrinsic value of something, we lose sight of the rational purpose for which a certain activity was pursued in the first place. If a fraternity brother seeks only the completion of some task in exchange for money from another brother he will likely neglect the non-monetary value that he receives from the other, thus undermining their friendship and relationship and the ideals of the association as a whole.
Of course, some believe that because we must orient ourselves towards the want of others wants within a market we become more inclusive and subsequently develop stronger ties[2]. While interacting with others within a market may enlighten us in regards to others' economic desires we may care little about the other dimensions that are crucial for the development of a sound relationship.
In many business deals it is more profitable to lie to employees or customers than to deal with them honestly[3]. Businesses do not lie to their customers because they believe in the intrinsic value of lying. They lie because it is profitable and to their advantage to do so. They have no desire to be in a non-monetary relationship with anyone. Attempting to apply these norms and ethics of business to companionate relationships clearly undermines the entire point."
So there you have it, better than I can do. The "friends" on Mad Men may be "best friends," but the very values of the marketplace (necessary in their place) are bound to interfere with the quality of the friendships that result from (and even benefit) work. It looks to me as if the writers of the show agree. It seems to me as if they are actually pushing the point. But I may be wrong.

Starwood allows SPG members to redeem their Starpoints for concerts, sporting events, and other experiences through SPG Moments and the program has launched some new SPG Moment packages in partnership with Madison Square Garden. Although I usually prefer to redeem my Starwood points for hotel stays since you can get some amazing values across the chain's various tiers of hotels whereas the per-point monetary value on these packages can be a bit lower, there are still some fun ones in here with unique experiences included that you could consider redeeming for if you prefer to use your Starpoints that way.
There are 114 packages currently being offered including Knicks games, Rangers games, concerts and special events, and you can browse them by type of event, and whether the redemption options are fixed-value or auction (where you can get some deals if bidding doesn't get too heated. Here are some of the redemptions currently being offered:
New York Knicks Preseason Basketball: New York Knicks vs. Charlotte Bobcats
10/25/2013: Package includes complimentary food and beverages and a pair of reserved VIP seats. Package includes access for 2 guests and two reserved seats in an Event Level Suite seating section.
Cost: 10,000 Starpoints, 6 packages available
While there are currently no Event Level seats available for purchase through TicketMaster to this game, tickets for seats in nearby sections are going for anywhere from $150-$300 depending on the vantage point, so your 10,000 points is getting you about $300 in value, about 3 cents per point, and not a bad redemption at all.
New York Rangers vs. LA Kings
11/17/2013: Package includes Access for two (2) to the SPG Luxury Suite at Madison Square Garden on 11/17/2013, Complimentary food and beverages while in the suite, Two (2) reserved seats in the Event Level Suite seating section
Cost: 25,000 Starpoints, 6 packages available
Comparable tickets are going for about $150, so your SPG points would be worth about 1.2 cents apiece on this redemption.
Kanye West Concert
11/23/2013 – 11/24/2013:
Package includes: Access for two (2) to the SPG Luxury Suite at Madison Square Garden on 11/23/2013, complimentary food and beverages while in the suite, Two (2) reserved seats in the Event Level Suite seating section
Cost: 35,000 Starpoints, 5 packages available
Comparable tickets are going for about $110-$185, so at most you're getting about 1 cent per point, so I'd think about just buying tickets at that price.
Elton John Concert
12/4/2013 (Dec. 3 event is already sold out)
Package includes: Access for two (2) to the SPG Luxury Suite at Madison Square Garden on 12/4/2013, Complimentary food and beverages while in the suite, Two (2) reserved seats in the Event Level Suite seating section
Cost: 35,000 Starpoints, 4 packages available
Comparable tickets are going for $95-$200, so you'd be getting about 1.1 cents per point in value here at best.
That's just four events that looked interesting to me, though as I said, there are over 100 that are part of this program. However, some are selling out quickly, especially the Rangers hockey games and certain concerts like the Kanye and Elton John ones, and there are only limited numbers of packages, so if you are interested, I would suggest looking now to see which events you would like to redeem for.
While I'll personally be holding onto my Starpoints for some high-value hotel redemptions in Europe later this year, if you find yourself sitting on a ton of points without plans to use them on hotel award nights, this could be a fun way to burn through a few of them.
If you find yourself short on SPG points consider the Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card from American Express or the Starwood Preferred Guest Business Credit Card from American Express both of which offer 25,000 bonus SPG points after spending $3,000 (personal card) and $5,000 (business card) in the first three months. Starwood Preferred Guest is also a transfer partner of American Express Membership Rewards, but offers a poor 3:1 transfer ratio, so I don't recommend only as a last option.

The Jervis McEntee Diaries - April 8, 1888
Diary Entry:
Sunday, Apr 8, 1888 Sara, Mary and I went to hear Mr. Eaton in [Chapins?] old church. It was a bright day and many people thronged the streets. After service we went around to the Century to see the pictures and from there I went up to the Cranch's where I was invited to dine at 2 o'clock. They live in a flat in E. 84th St. Miss [Walker?] dined with us. About 5 o'clock I came down and called on Lily French and Mrs. Weir who is visiting her. I found them besides Mrs. Carey, Mrs. Alden Weir and a young man. Lily looked remarkably well. I have not seen her for two years. She showed me photographs of Emmas children of which she has four. Presently Alden and John came in. They were going out to tea and I came down to Marys. Mrs Youmans came to tea with us and Mrs. Custer was to have come but did not get Marys note. I came to my room early as I was up late last night.

Over the past few years, Walt Disney Pictures has been teaming up with celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz to recreate some of their most iconic characters. They get Hollywood's hottest stars and place them in scenarios from classic Disney films. Some of the previous photos they've done included Rachel Weisz as Snow White, Beyonce as Alice in Wonderland, and Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony as Princess Jasmine and Aladdin.
This latest batch features Tron Legacy stars Jeff Bridges and Olivia Wilde, Penelope Cruz, Alec Baldwin, and Queen Latifah. Take a look…
Oddly enough, Olivia Wilde's bone structure really lends itself to the Evil Queen. She looks like she was taken straight from a film. The make up artists and costume designers did a great job on her. As for Beauty in the Beast, we thought they'd have Bridges in make up to play the Prince in monster form but this will work. He does have the flowing hair to play the part. Cruz on the other hand, doesn't look like Belle. Her hair is too tousled. It should be tighter up top (picky we know).
We wouldn't have even thought of Latifah as Ursula from The Little Mermaid, but she's another perfect fit. The background is a bit cartoonish for the photo but it works!
What do you think of the latest batch of Disney inspired images? Which is your favorite?

Use Gauss's lemma! It's a direct application.
Let p be an odd prime. Prove that x^2 ≡ 2 (mod p) has solutions if and only if p ≡ 1 or 7 (mod 8).
The related materials in the section are quadratic residues, and the Legendre symbol, but I can't figure out how to prove this.
Any help is appreciated!
[also under discussion in math links forum]
Sounds like you're using the Niven textbook. I did this exercise last fall, and it gave be some trouble too. It is indeed proved by Gauss's lemma.How?
But we are asked to do a PROOF in this problem...!?
Just do a case-by-case proof that has a solution given that , then , then , and finally . Since those are the only possibilities (even numbers won't work), the conclusion will follow.
Consider Gauss's lemma, and let , and observe that each is its own least positive residue modulo . Let denote the number of integers in the set
Then by Gauss's lemma, .
Now comes the tricky part: Let denote the number of even positive integers less than . Then . But what is ? Well, iff is an integer; overwise .
This is the framework that we use for each case. Let's try one in particular...
Suppose . Then is not an integer, which means , and therefore
Since , if follows that is odd, which means
Therefore has no solution whenever , and we move on to the next case.
It's such a tricky question...
So you showed that p≡ 3(mod 8) => no solution
How can we prove that THERE IS a solution when e.g. p ≡ 7 (mod 8)? What do we have to show?
Also, in this question, we are asked to prove IF AND ONLY IF, right? So how can we prove the "converse" direction?
Thanks for helping!
In our problem, the list of the residues are {2,4,6,...,p-1}, note that they are all even, but then Gauss' lemma says: let n be the number of these residues that are greater than p/2.
However, in your proof, you said that n is the number of integers in . But how do you know that (p+1)/2 is even? and why is (p+3)/2 even?
Thanks for clarifying!
the number of even positive integers ;
the number of even positive integers ;
the number of even positive integers between and .
Therefore , or, .
Now, if is odd, then how many even positive integers are ? How about if is even?
The answer, of course, is that if is odd, then there are positive even integers . But if is even, then there are positive even integers .

With half an hour left to register, Iran's two most controversial candidates pledged to run for president over the weekend. The country now has to wait to hear which of the handful of hopefuls will be allowed to contest the June poll. NBC News' Ali Arouzi reports from Tehran.
Iran's June 14 elections will showcase the country's political system, which, not well understood by many in the West, combines strong Islamic theocracy with elements of democracy. A network of unelected institutions controlled by the powerful supreme leader is countered by a president and parliament elected by the people.
Here's a guide to Iran's labyrinthine governmental operations and a glimpse at some of the men hoping to occupy the top elected office in the country.
According Iran's constitution, the most powerful political office in the Islamic Republic is that of the supreme leader. Since its inception after the 1979 revolution that overthrew the monarchy, two men have occupied the role – the Islamic Republic's founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, and his successor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The supreme leader appoints the head of the judiciary, six out of 12 members of the powerful Guardian Council, the armed forces' commanders, the head of the country's radio and television and Friday prayer leaders, who instruct the faithful in the performance of the Friday prayer in Iran. He also confirms the president's election.
Supreme leader's website via EPA
Iranian Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Under the constitution, the president is the second-most-important authority after the supreme leader. The president – currently Mahmoud Ahmadinejad – is elected for a four-year term by popular vote, and can serve no more than two consecutive terms. After a term away he can run for president again.
The president heads the executive branch of government, and is responsible for ensuring the constitution is implemented.
Powerful clerical councils ultimately answer to the supreme leader. The supreme leader controls the armed forces and makes most of the decisions regarding security, defense and major foreign policy.
The president appoints and supervises ministers, coordinates government decisions, and selects government policies to be placed before the legislature, but ultimately his power is curtailed by the clerical bodies.
All presidential hopefuls have to be vetted by the Guardian Council, the most influential body in Iran. The group, which consists of six theologians appointed by the supreme leader and six jurists nominated by the judiciary and approved by parliament, also has the authority to veto any bill passed by parliament, among other legislative and judicial powers.
An indication of the power held by the clerics and the supreme leader came on Friday when the head of the Guardian Council said it may disqualify presidential candidates who supported full relations with the United States, according to The Associated Press.
The contenders
Three different tiers of the Iranian establishment appear to be competing against each other in the current elections. The Guardian Council will release a list of approved candidates – culled from almost 700 who registered – to the Ministry of Interior by May 21. The following list includes those thought to be most likely to make it onto the shortlist.
EPA, AP file
Candidates for Iran's upcoming presidential election: (from left) Former Foreign Minister Ali-Akbar Velayati; Tehran mayor Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf; speaker of parliament Gholam-Ali Haddad Adel; chief nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili.
Supreme leader's favorites
The first camp of contenders consists of the supreme leader's inner circle and others perceived to be loyal to him.
- Ali-Akbar Velayati, currently the supreme leader's adviser on international affairs, served as foreign minister under several presidents. He received a pediatrics degree from Johns Hopkins in 1974. Some observers believe that he lacks charisma when compared with others who are running.
- Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, Tehran mayor, is a veteran of the Iran-Iraq War. Since he became mayor in 2005, he has embarked on a series of ambitious civic projects that added to his popularity. He may be seen as too independent by conservative clerics.
- Gholam-Ali Haddad Adel, the speaker of parliament, is very much part of the supreme leader's inner circle – his daughter is married to the supreme leader's son. But its not clear how much popular support he has.
- Saeed Jalili is Iran's chief nuclear negotiator. His loyalty to the supreme leader appears unwavering. He also has had substantial dealings with the West, granting occasional interviews and interacting with international counterparts.
Ahmadinejad's man
President Ahmadinejad – who has been at odds with the clerical establishment shortly after the disputed elections in 2009 – has put all his political eggs in one controversial basket, the divisive Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei. The two men have been very close for the last 30 years, and Mashaei's daughter married Ahmadinejad's oldest son in 2008.
Conservative leaders in Iran have gone so far as branding Mashaei the head of deviant current within the government, a heretic and a foreign spy. Despite a chorus of disapproval for powerful members of the establishment Ahmadinejad has stayed loyal to him.

Former Iranian President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani waves to media as he registers his candidacy for the upcoming presidential election in Tehran, Iran, on Saturday, May 11.
The ex-president, turned 'outsider'
Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani – popularly nicknamed 'The Shark' because of his inability to grow a beard – is one of the great political survivors of the Islamic Republic.
Related: Last-minute entry transforms Iranian race
Rafsanjani was the de facto commander-in-chief of the military during the Iran–Iraq War, which raged from 1980 to 1988. He was widely credited with the reconstruction of the country after the devastating conflict.
Rafsanjani's involvement with the revolutionary government came early and he became a cleric at the age of 14. He was elected chairman of the Iranian parliament in 1980 and served until 1989. He is also known as a king-maker and was instrumental in the appointment of Ali Khamenei as supreme leader.
At schools, in shops, and on the streets of big cities and small towns, daily life plays out in Iran.
Rafsanjani served as president of Iran from 1989 to 1997, and 2005 he ran for a third term in office. He ultimately lost to Ahmadinejad in the run-off round.
Rafsanjani advocates a free-market economy and is popular with the upper-middle class, who think he may be able to revive the economy.
He fell out of favor with the supreme leader because of his tacit support of the "Green Movement" protest that shook the country and provoked a violent crackdown in 2009.

Duty Supervisors
The front-line leadership of Lancaster EMS are the Duty Officers, recognized with the unit designator "Medic 600". The "Medic 600" team is comprised of 4 Captains and 4 Lieutenants. Each officer is an experienced, proficient, clinically sound paramedic who possesses equally strong leadership ability.
Lieutenants are the first tier of leadership in the organizational rank structure. System status oversight is a Lieutenant's primary responsibility when operating as M600. A Lieutenant is also assigned a small amount of administrative duties. Lieutenants and Captains alike are tasked with the responsibility of managing the busiest emergency medical service in Lancaster County. With a daily call volume that can exceed over 100 incidents a day, the Lieutenant and Captain are required to manage a team of ALS, BLS, and wheelchair van resources to meet both the emergent and non-emergent system demands. Lieutenants and Captains will fulfill incident command roles on large scale events, provide clinical support on serious or complicated incidents, function as an ALS intercept service when needed, supplement staffing vacancies as required, complete accident and injury investigations, and various incidental duties.
In addition to shared responsibilities with the Lieutenant, Captains are responsible for increased administrative functions within the organization. Annual employee performance appraisals, tracking educational requirements, maintaining vehicle licensure, medication and supply oversight, managing new hires and the organization Field Training Program, Policy and SOG revision, and oversight of select projects, are a few examples of the additional duties assigned to the Captains.
All clinical providers and wheelchair van attendants are divided into four platoons. A Captain and Lieutenant oversee each platoon. The platoon officers are responsible for the administrative oversight of those employees within their platoon, including annual performance appraisals, remedial training, and mentoring, to name a few.
The Medic 600 vehicle is a 2009 Chevy Yukon outfitted with 4-wheel drive and multiple specialized modifications. With ALS equipment, specialized patient extrication devices, and the ability to operate an EMS Command post from the vehicle, it is truly a unique vehicle, allowing the Captains to perform their duties more effectively.

Holidays in Tenerife certainly pack a punch when it comes to sun-drenched beach breaks. Jaw dropping to say the least, this island is less golden swathes of sand and more black volcanic seashores. But if it's yellow-white sands you're after, you'll find your ideal summer holiday spot in Las Teresitas.
One thing's for sure, you'll return from your Tenerife holiday with a tan that even the most discerning sun-seeker would be proud of.
Away from the beach, holidays in Tenerife take a turn towards the more traditional. And the lunar-like landscape is peppered with banana plantations, whitewashed villages and shuttered colonial buildings. And the shopping's just as attractive.
Santa Cruz and Los Cristianos are the perfect places to take advantage of the lower taxes. Department stores positively drip with labels but you can also find tiny shops brimming with good buys too. So make sure you pack your credit card, as it's bound to feel the burn.
The island comes to life as happy hours announce the beginning of the night. After a couple of cocktails, make your way to the clubs and discos that spill big beats and floor fillers into the darkness.
Whether you're looking for 80's electro-pop, songs from the swinging 60's or top chart tunes – let your hair down in some of the best parties on the island and dance to the music.

For example, almost all one-relator groups with more than two generators are residually finite. The people who proved this actually showed that something like 98% of one-relator groups with more than two generators are residually finite. Now, it is "well-known" (for a suitable value of "well") that not all one-relator groups are residually finite. Famously, the group is not residually finite (because it doesn't have a weaker property: it isn't Hopfian), and if you know enought about all this stuff you can quite easily see that is not residually finite. So, you have a result which says "almost all one-relator groups with more than two generators are residually finite, but some are not". Which is, holistically speaking, very nice.
Their proof of the 98% was quite neat. A one-relator group is a group of the form where is a word over the alphabet . This word defines a walk in -dimensional space (if you assume, without loss of generality, that every letter in appears in ), and so the authors proved that if you take a random walk it "almost always" has a specific property which implies that the corresponding group is residually finite (they proved that words which define a certain type of walk yield groups which are "ascending HNN-extensions of free groups"). The paper is by Mark Sapir and Iva Spakulova.
(A group is residually finite if for any there exists a homomorphism where is some finite group, such that ( denotes the itentity). For instance, is residually finite (here, denotes the identity), as taking an arbitrary integer then it is mapped to modulo . It is a rather strong finiteness condition.)

Bed Of Roses is of the most popular song by Jon Bon Jovi. This song is commonly played in any karaoke machine. It is a slow rock song and has a high pitch. Watch the karaoke song below as it has been sang. Continue reading
How Am I Supposed To Live Without You
All the song that you heared everywhere has an exact composition. Some of them is love song, about livelyhood, about life, and etc. That's why it's nice to hear in every song that they played.

Changes In My Life
Who is Mark Sherman? That was my first when I hear this song first, I was in our farm gathering some fruits, When I hear I hear this song. I enjoy listening this song until this song finished to play in my mobile phone. It's nice to hear a song that has sweet melody. The singer of the song. Gangnam style said in the interview of TV Patrol, that it was hard to compose a song. So, as a Filipino it's not easy to compose a song. Even it is difficult to compose a song, but many Filipino composer can do it. And even it is difficult to get tone, melody and the harmony of a one song, but many Filipino singer can do this. Not only the Filipino hardened to compose, but also the Korean, American and the Chinese.
All At Once
I think Whitney Houston is a popular singer, Because in my 21 copies of lyrics that I have, she had a lots of songs. I' not serious about her, thats why I'm doubting with my feelings to her. And I'm curious to know about Whitney Houston. I want to know about her.
Glory Of Love
From the words glory which means very great praise, honor of distinction bestowed by common consent ; renown. He honor his beloved. He respect his beloved. And actually I want to know more about Peter Cetera. I think he is popular singer. Because when I heared this song played everywhere. It's nice to hear a song that has an exact tone and melody like this.

Let Me Be The One
Over the years, several songs evolved in the sense that and old is revived and got to be the number one hit. In the process, many singers become popular. One of them is Jimmy Bondoc who popularized his own version for "Let Me Be The One". I am one of those people who had been caught up of this song. Continue reading

We just purchased another F250 as a work truck, and since I have these bars on my personal F250 I wanted to get another set. They are great because of the step up with traction when it is raining, and they really help protect the seats as the guys aren't drawing themselves in and out and wearing out the seats. Nice finish and solidity, and what a breeze to put them on the truck.

Wellness Programs Offer Numerous Benefits for Employers and Employees
Healthcare costs are on the rise and employers are diligently looking to find dollars in the budget to support the increased health insurance renewal rates. The workforce is stressed, over extended, maxed to the limit and stagnant in their jobs. Many employees are operating through the workday feeling sick, tired, unmotivated and stressed.

It is possible that the main title of the report Alpha-Mannosidosis is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
- alpha-mannosidase B deficiency
- lysosomal alpha-D-mannosidase deficiency
- mannosidase, alpha B, lysosomal
- mannosidosis
- mannosidosis, alpha B, lysosomal
General Discussion
Alpha-mannosidosis is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a deficiency of the enzyme alpha-D-mannosidase. Alpha-mannosidosis is best thought of as a continuum of disease that is generally broken down into three forms: a mild, slowly progressive form (type 1); a moderate form (type 2); and a severe, often rapidly progressive and potentially life-threatening form (type 3). The symptoms and severity of the disorder are highly variable. Symptoms may include distinctive facial features, skeletal abnormalities, hearing loss, intellectual disability, and dysfunction of the immune system. Alpha-mannosidosis is caused by mutations of the MAN2B1 gene. This genetic mutation is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.
Alpha-mannosidosis belongs to a group of diseases known as the lysosomal storage disorders. Lysosomes are particles bound in membranes within cells that function as the primary digestive units. Enzymes within the lysosomes break down or digest particular nutrients, such as complex molecules composed of a sugar attached to a protein (glycoproteins). Low levels or inactivity of the alpha-mannosidase enzyme leads to the abnormal accumulation of compounds upstream in the metabolic pathway in the cells of affected individuals with unwanted consequences.

S&P Downgrades Spain (After I Did) Two Notches, Near Junk... About Time Featured
- font size decrease font size increase font size
ZeroHedge reports: S&P Cuts Spain to BBB+, Outlook Negative :
Adding insult to Bayern Munich injury, we just got S&P which did the impossible and cut Spain to BBB+ from A (outlook negative) not on Friday after hours. Kneejerk reaction is a 30 pip drop in EURUSD. Oh, and most amusing, those witches among men, Egan Jones, downgraded Spain from BBB to BBB-.... a week ago. Crush them, destroy them... How dare they be ahead of the pack as usual: after all their NRSRO application was missing a god damn comma.
Full release:
- We believe that the Kingdom of Spain's budget trajectory will likely deteriorate against a background of economic contraction in contrast withour previous projections.
- At the same time, we see an increasing likelihood that Spain's government will need to provide further fiscal support to the banking sector.
- As a consequence, we believe there are heightened risks that Spain's net general government debt could rise further.
- We are therefore lowering our long- and short-term sovereign credit ratings on Spain to 'BBB+/A-2' from 'A/A-1'.
- The negative outlook on the long-term rating reflects our view of the significant risks to Spain's economic growth and budgetary performance, and the impact we believe this will likely have on the sovereign's creditworthiness.
As was clearly stated last Monday and warned two years ago on BoomBustBlog...
The Spain Pain Will Not Wane: Continuing the Contagion Saga:
In the general our analysis Spain public finances projections_033010, the first four (of 12) pages basically outline the gist of the Spanish problem today, to wit here are the first two:
About those rating agencies...
Of course, we all know how reliable and timely the rating agencies are, right? See Rating Agencies vs Reggie Middleton, Part 3 and the Interesting Documentary on the Power of Rating Agencies, with Reggie Middleton Excerpts
I am having my analysts work on the Spanish and Italian default/ bailout scenario now (we have worked up a scenario two years ago, but things are much worse now). Even a Citi analyst has chimed in to that effect. Let' not forget the Portuguese Liquidity Trap: Prime from the actions of Greece. As a matter of fact, it's evident that Greece Is Trying To Convince Portugal To Make FIRE Hot, hence I answered the inevitable question, So, What's The Next Step Towards The Eurocalypse???

The prime minister read the proclamation to the gathered crowd from the steps of the General Assembly Library in Wellington. This first Dominion Day was a public holiday.
As the capital of the new dominion, Wellington put on a big show all day and into the evening on 26 September. At mid-morning, a guard of honour marched from the Mt Cook Barracks to Parliament House as the 25-member Garrison Band played lively marching tunes.
At 11 a.m. the governor, Lord Plunket, invited Prime Minister Ward to read the proclamation of dominion status. Ward did so, then shouted out, 'Three cheers for the King'. This was followed by cheers for the governor, for Ward, and for the new Dominion of New Zealand.
The military and school cadets paraded, and Māori performed a haka. It was all over in just 15 minutes. The smallish crowd then set off for Newtown Park to watch a military review involving 1600 men. The governor inspected the troops and more speeches were made before the dignitaries lunched at Government House.
Ward also issued a message to the people of New Zealand. He spoke of preserving 'the purity of your race' and urged 'equal opportunity to all'.
Trust the future of our Dominion not to increasing wealth, but rather to an ever higher manhood and womanhood, to a wider enlightenment and humanity disciplined by the needs of industry, by temperate living, and by those healthy and beneficent tasks that beget advancement and which should be the price of promotion in a free country.
That evening, Parliament adjourned early so the politicians could enjoy an oyster supper. Parliament Buildings put on a grand show. What is now the Parliamentary Library shone like a beacon. Bright lights across the front of the building spelt out 'Advance New Zealand' and the words 'Colony 1840' and 'Dominion 1907'.
The change of name meant little in practice. It was made to confirm the theoretical equality of status within the British Empire of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Newfoundland (and later, the Union of South Africa and the Irish Free State). The inference was that dominions were fully self-governing, yet not quite independent. New Zealand resisted accepting the full implications of independence from the United Kingdom until 1947; the country's subsequent change of status from 'dominion' to 'realm' was equally underwhelming.

Former Sheepscar Library Leeds
There is much talk of the closure of various public libraries both here in Leeds and also elsewhere across England as councils struggle to balance the books.
With this in mind my picture today is a building that was opened as the Sheepscar Branch Library in 1938 on the junction of Roundhay Road and Chapletown Road.
Today this building, having long since closed its doors as a library, is now home to the Leeds Office of the West Yorkshire Archive Service.
Whilst I have never been inside this building I have found them most helpful on the telephone, whilst I was and indeed am still looking for the burial records (showing plot details) for the churchyard of Saint Mark in Woodhouse here in Leeds. Amongst the various records held here are the ecclesiastical records of Ripon, much of Anglican Leeds and some of Bradford.
I am planning to visit the West Yorkshire Archives office in Leeds, moved to Sheepscar, in 1965. in the above building to hopefully do some research both about some of the churches here in Leeds but also to find out more about what it is they do.
3 comments:
This building is huge and what a pity it has closed it's doors as a library. Unfortunately the same thing is happening here in Australia but my local library is still operating and has included a cafe, local history centre,ancestory help centre and toy library. It would be a real loss to the community if it closed it's doors.ReplyDelete
That brickwork is amazing; must have taken forever to build. The B&W treatment brings out the details very well; nice shot.ReplyDelete
hank you for this picture. I remember the library opening in the Thirties and it played a big part in my life but when did it close ?ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for visiting my Leeds in Yorkshire photography blog
and for your much appreciated comments. If you leave a question relating to today's photograph or commentary, I'll do my best to give an answer, so do come back later. Thanks.

"The Victory" (1899-1902.) Panel 4 of "The Progress of a Soul" (1893-1901.) Silk, gold and silver thread embroidery on linen. National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh. Detail below.
Phoebe Anna Traquair was an Irish artist who rose to prominence in Edinburgh and went on to produce a staggering volume of work. She was part of the Arts and Crafts movements in
Scotland and worked in a number of disciplines including embroidery, jewellery making and metal work, painting, illustration and book design. She painted vast murals in several buildings including the Catholic Apostolic Church and the chapel of the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, both in Edinburgh. Notably, she illuminated the book "Sonnets from the Portuguese" by the poet Elizabeth Barratt Browning, but she is probably best known today for her exquisite embroidered panels and drapes, the most spectacular of which "The Progress of a Soul" (part of which is seen above) now resides in the National Gallery of Scotland in Ediburgh.
Traquair is a unique figure in both British Art and the Arts and Crafts movement, and she has been identified as the first significant professional woman artist in modern Scotland.
