Training in Boston
The main reason for the trip was a Product Management seminar led by Steve Johnson of Pragmatic Marketing—and I definitely recommend the course to anyone who's interested in this stuff. One thing I found interesting: in North America smalltalk usually means asking, "so what do you do?"; well at a seminar made up of 30 people who all do the same thing, that gets replaced with, "so where do you work?". Fun watching the puzzled looks on people's faces as they stared at the blank line below the name on this independent consultant's name tag. :)
The main focus of the course is on guiding product development through market problems and on grounding those problems in real data instead of hunches and "wouldn't it be cool if...?". I'm interested in Product Management from two angles: first, as a possible career direction and, second, in its applicability to open source projects, such as Seaside.
In past jobs, I've found myself naturally trying to fill an institutional void. I've been the one asking, "Are you sure the students want an on-campus version of Facebook? I kind of suspect they just want to use Facebook...". Actual demand for what we were doing, the exact problems we were trying to solve, and even the development costs have all been more-or-less-hand-wavy things. How do you know what to implement if you don't know what problem you're solving and for whom? Or, to look at it another way, if you develop without that knowledge, how do you know anyone will find the result valuable? It was revealing for me when I first learned there are people who make a living doing these things I found rewarding.
The applicability to open source is an interesting issue. On the one hand, it is almost intuitively obvious that most of the same factors apply. A project that meets a market need will succeed while one that does not will fail. A project that knows who its users are can be more effectively marketed; one that does not will succeed only through chance or an inefficient shotgun approach. What I'm not sure of yet is what is different: is it the formulas, the costs of the resources, or maybe their units of measurement? Or do we need to tweak one or more of the definitions? As a random example, Product Management makes a distinction between users and buyers of a product; what's the correct mapping for these concepts in open source? I'm still pondering all this... more to come.
Before I leave off, I should mention that the Hilton DoubleTree in Bedford is one of my best hotel experiences in recent memory. Everything was efficient and painless. The room was roomy, modern, and spotlessly clean. The internet was fast and free. And the (three!) extra pillows I tossed on the floor were left there neatly for my entire stay instead of being put back on the bed. They even insisted on comping a meal I had in the restaurant which was, admittedly, slow in arriving but not to the point I was concerned about it. So, I don't know why you'd be in suburban Boston, but if you are, go stay at the DoubleTree.

That course looks interesting. Was it very much different than Customer Development as espoused by Steve Blank http://www.steveblank.com ?

Thanks for the kind words about the Hilton Doubletree in Bedford. While I often vacillate on whether to book our seminars in downtown Boston or in the burbs, the consistent, top notch service we've received from the Doubletree these last 13 years keeps us coming back. And our attendees say the food is not your typical hotel fare. Glad you enjoyed the seminar.

Paul, I had a quick look at Steve's Customer Development slides and there certainly seems to be a fair bit of overlap but I'm not otherwise familiar with it so I don't know how much non-overlap there is. :)
Kristyn, yes, I can understand that. As an out-of-towner, I certainly would have preferred to be in Boston proper but there's something to be said for great service, particularly over a long period of time. I can definitely understand why you've carried on booking them in Bedford. - December 17, 2009 11:28 pm

Here's a great find. I have looked for this for years; it used to be shown on TV every Christmas during the 1970's. It is a tremendous animated cartoon version of Oscar Wilde's top short story, "The Selfish Giant". This is another great tale for Advent and Christmas, a tale of conversion and salvation. But you'll have to watch it here in three parts:

I used to watch that video a lot as a child. When I stumbled upon it as a teenager it actually made me cry. The video also had a production of the Happy Prince about a swallow who stayed over winter, despite its inevitable death, in order to distribute bits of Gold from a kingly statue to the poor people in need for Christmas.

It'll still be in circulation for a little while longer but as of today, no longer made. Its a bit sad but I think I can hear my wallet's sigh of relief from here!
Also a bit sad, failing to achieve my weekend goal of getting Ranger's disparate pieces onto one needle to begin shaping for the yoke.
The distances of this large men's sweater are deceiving me. Knitting my own more familiar size that goal would have been realistic but not so for this brute.
Oh the mind games a monogamous knitter must play balancing perception and expectation with reality...like responding to the child asking..."how long 'till we get there?".
('Reminds me of a trip to Floriade in the Netherlands My Beloved and I took with sightseeing route based on an Amex brochure for Dutch Bed and Breakfasts. Very familiar with the scale of Ontario maps we'd identify a destination in the morning and head off with a day's drive in mind but repeatedly finding ourselves, long before lunch, at the border (or the ocean!) having literally crossed the entire nation in less time than our familiar drive to the cottage back home and asking each other "We're here already?!)
Of course with knitting the smartest knitters know either how long it is going to take, or, not to ask themselves that question! For me, not clever enough not to ask I at least do know its too early to think about finishing. Better to focus on starting the yoke. I got up early this morning to work on it a bit so now there are only a dozen or so rounds on the last sleeve between "here" and "there". I'll have a little mental happy dance when I finally "arrive" and hope that's enough to motivate me to plow onward.
I'll let you know how that goes!
Thanks for dropping by!

The ultimate in cross-over ski technology, skis designed to deliver maximum performance with unparalleled efficiency. The all-new 2016 Cross-Over Collection marries the high performance design of a Syndicate ski, with the ultra-efficient Clean Edge technology of a Freeride ski. The all new 2016 HO design team began with a record-breaking Syndicate ski design, increased the surface area of the ski by one ski size from the tip of the ski to the just behind the heel of the rear foot. Behind the rear foot the skis transition from traditional to futuristic, as the sidewalls rotate inward like a wakeboard edge and ski bevels disappear in the tail section of the ski. The combination of these two features allows the water to release cleanly off the bottom of the ski, as opposed to the traditional ski design in which water wraps around the bevel of the ski, up the sidewall and releases of the upper edge of the ski, thereby reducing the drag associated with this portion of the ski by 50%. Clean Edge technology is a step into the modern age of ski design and the lack of physical effort required to ride these skis will forever change a skier's perception of what is possible. Imagine riding a Syndicate ski designed to rip off 60 turns instead of 6 and you will begin to understand the powerful combination of performance and efficiency skiers are tapping into on HO Cross-Over Collection skis.

Based on the articles The habitability of super-Earths in Gliese 581 by von Bloh et al. and Habitable planets around the star Gliese 581? by Selsis et al., Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2007, vol 476-3, p. 1365-1387, and on the article Dynamical evolution of the Gliese 581 planetary system, by H. Beust, X. Bonfils, X. Delfosse, and S. Udry (To be published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2008)
In April, a European team of astronomers announced in Astronomy & Astrophysics the discovery of two possibly habitable Earth-like planets. A&A is now publishing two independent, detailed studies of this system, which confirm that one of the planets might indeed be located within the habitable zone around the star Gliese 581.
More than 10 years after the discovery of the first extrasolar planet, astronomers have now discovered more than 250 of these planets. Until a few years ago, most of the newly discovered exoplanets were Jupiter-mass, probably gaseous, planets. Recently, astronomers have announced the discovery of several planets that are potentially much smaller, with a minimum mass lower than 10 Earth masses, what are now called super-Earths [1].
In April, a European team announced in Astronomy & Astrophysics the discovery of two new planets orbiting the M star Gliese 581 (a red dwarf), with masses of at least 5 and 8 Earth masses. Given their distance to their parent star, these new planets (now known as Gliese 581c and Gliese 581d) were the first ever possible candidates for habitable planets.
Contrary to Jupiter-like giant planets that are mainly gaseous, terrestrial planets are expected to be extremely diverse: some will be dry and airless, while others will have much more water and gases than the Earth. Only the next generation of telescopes will allow us to tell what these new worlds and their atmospheres are made of and to search for possible indications of life on these planets. However, theoretical investigations are possible today and can be a great help in identifying targets for these future observations.
In this framework, Astronomy & Astrophysics now publishes two theoretical studies of the Gliese 581 planetary system. Two international teams, one led by Franck Selsis [2] and the other by Werner von Bloh [3], investigate the possible habitability of these two super-Earths from two different points of view. To do so, they estimate the boundaries of the habitable zone around Gliese 581, that is, how close and how far from this star liquid water can exist on the surface of a planet.
F. Selsis and his colleagues compute the properties of a planets atmosphere at various distances from the star. If the planet is too close to the star, the water reservoir is vaporized, so Earth-like life forms cannot exist. The outer boundary corresponds to the distance where gaseous CO2 becomes unable to produce the strong greenhouse effect required to warm a planetary surface above the freezing point of water. The major uncertainty for the precise location of the habitable zone boundaries comes from clouds that cannot currently be modeled in detail. These limitations also occur when one looks at the Suns case: climate studies indicate that the inner boundary is located somewhere between 0.7 and 0.9 AU, and the outer limit is between 1.7 and 2.4 AU. Figure 1 illustrates the Suns habitable zone boundaries, compared to the case for Gliese 581 as computed both by Selsis and von Bloh.
W. von Bloh and his colleagues study a narrower region of the habitable zone where Earth-like photosynthesis is possible. This photosynthetic biomass production depends on the atmospheric CO2 concentration, as much as on the presence of liquid water on the planet. Using a thermal evolution model for the super-Earths, they have computed the sources of atmospheric CO2 (released through ridges and volcanoes) and its sinks (the consumption of gaseous CO2 by weathering processes). The main aspect of their model is the persistent balance (that exists on Earth) between the sink of CO2 in the atmosphere-ocean system and its release through plate-tectonics. In this model, the ability to sustain a photosynthetic biosphere strongly depends on the age of the planet, because a too old planet might not be active anymore, that is, would not release enough gaseous CO2. In this case, the planet would no longer be habitable. To compute the boundaries of the habitable zone as illustrated by Figure 1, von Bloh assumed a CO2 level of 10 bars.
Figure 1 illustrates the boundary of the habitable zone as computed using both models and, for comparison, the boundary of the Suns habitable zone. Both teams found that, while Gliese 581 c is too close to the star to be habitable, the planet Gliese 581 d might be habitable. However, the environmental conditions on planet d might be too harsh to allow complex life to appear. Planet d is tidally locked, like the Moon in our Earth-Moon system, meaning that one side of the planet is permanently dark. Thus, strong winds may be caused by the temperature difference between the day and night sides of the planet. Since the planet is located at the outer edge of the habitable zone, life forms would have to grow with reduced stellar irradiation and a very peculiar climate.
Figure 1 also illustrates that the distances of planets c and d to the central star has strong variations due to the eccentricity of their orbits. In addition, being close to the star, their orbital periods are short: 12.9 days for planet c and 83.6 days for planet d. Figure 1 shows that planet d might temporarily leave and re-enter the habitable zone during its journey. However, even under these strange conditions, it might still be habitable if its atmosphere is dense enough. In any case, habitable conditions on planet d should be very different from what we encounter on Earth.
Last but not least, the possible habitability of one of these planets is particularly interesting because of the central star, which is a red dwarf, M-type star. About 75% of all stars in this Galaxy are M stars. They are long-lived (potentially tens of billion years), stable, and burn hydrogen. M stars have long been considered as poor candidates for harboring habitable planets: first because planets located in the habitable zone of M stars are tidally locked, with a permanent dark side, where the atmosphere is likely to condense irreversibly. Second, M stars have an intense magnetic activity, associated with violent flares and high X and extreme UV fluxes, during their early stage that might erode planetary atmospheres. Theoretical studies have recently shown that the environment of M stars might not prevent these planets from harboring life. M stars have then become very interesting for astronomers because habitable planets orbiting them are easier to detect via the radial-velocity and transit techniques than habitable planets around Sun-like stars.
Both studies definitely confirm that Gliese 581c and Gliese 581d will be prime targets for the future ESA/NASA space mission Darwin/Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF), dedicated to the search for life on Earth-like planets. These space observatories will make it possible to determine the properties of their atmospheres.
Figure 1. Illustration of the habitable zone (HZ) boundaries as obtained by the two teams. The upper part of the figure shows the HZ of the Sun (at its present age). The red curve shows only the most extreme outer limit of the HZ. The actual outer boundary is indeed located somewhere between 1.7 and 2.4 AU. The green limits show the boundaries of the photosynthetic zone as computed with the model by von Bloh et al. The middle part of the figure shows the limits of the HZ of Gliese 581 computed with the atmospheric models from Selsis et al. The lower part illustrates the boundaries of the photosynthetic zone computed with the geophysical models from von Bloh et al. The boundaries are shown for several possible ages (5, 7, and 9 Gyr-old) of the Gliese 581 planetary system. Following the latest estimation, Gliese 581 would be 7 Gyr-old. The purple bars surrounding planets Gliese 581 c and d illustrate the variable distance to the star caused by the eccentricity of the orbits.
A third paper on the Gliese 581 planetary system has recently been accepted for publication in Astronomy & Astrophysics. In this paper, H. Beust and his team [4] study the dynamical stability of the Gliese 581 planetary system. Such studies are very interesting in the framework of the potential habitability of these planets because the long-term evolution of the planetary orbits may regulate the climate of these planets. Mutual gravitational perturbations between different planets are present in any planetary system with more than one planet. In our solar system, under the influence of the other planets, the Earth's orbit periodically evolves from purely circular to slightly eccentric. This is actually enough to trigger the alternance of warm and glacial eras. More drastic orbital changes could well have prevented the development of life. Beust and his colleagues computed the orbits of the Gliese 581 system over 100 Myr and find that the system appears dynamically stable, showing periodic orbital changes that are comparable to those of the Earth. The climate on the planets is expected to be stable, so it at least does not prevent life from developing, although it does not prove it happened either.
[1] The expression super-Earths, which is often used to refer to exoplanets between 2 and 10 Earth masses, might be confusing, as it suggests indeed that these planets are rocky planets that differ from the Earth only by their mass. But Gliese 581 c and d could very well be big icy planets, with a very different composition from the Earth.

We study the subgraph of the Young-Fibonacci graph induced by elements with odd $f$-statistic (the $f$-statistic of an element $w$ of a differential graded poset is the number of saturated chains from the minimal element of the poset to $w$). We show that this subgraph is a binary tree. Moreover, the odd residues of the $f$-statistics in a row of this tree equidistibute modulo any power two. This is equivalent to a purely number theoretic result about the equidistribution of residues modulo powers of two among the products of distinct odd numbers less than a fixed number.
We describe the expansion of Gelfand-Tsetlin basis vectors for representations of alternating groups in terms of Young's orthogonal basis for representations of symmetric groups.
We give a closed formula for the number of partitions $\lambda$ of $n$ such that the corresponding irreducible representation $V_\lambda$ of $S_n$ has non-trivial determinant. We determine how many of these partitions are self-conjugate and how many are hooks. This is achieved by characterizing the $2$-core towers of such partitions. We also obtain a formula for the number of partitions of $n$ such that the associated permutation representation of $S_n$ has non-trivial determinant.
We show that the Hasse diagram of the subposet of Young's lattice consisting of partitions with an odd number of standard Young tableaux is a binary tree. This tree exhibits self-similarities at all scales, and has a simple recursive description.
We derive functional relationships between spherical generating functions of graph monoids, right-angled Artin groups and right-angled Coxeter groups. We use these relationships to express the spherical generating function of a right-angled Artin group in terms of the clique polynomial of its defining graph. We also describe algorithms for computing the geodesic generating functions of these structures.
Issai Schur, in his doctoral thesis (1901) introduced the Schur algebra to study the polynomial representation theory of the general linear group. He described a basis of this algebra and structure constants. Later, Miguel Mendez (2001) gave a graph-theoretic description of Schur's basis and computed the structure constants. In this presentation, we will give a new graphic interpretation of the basis of Schur algebra and use it to give a description of the structure constants which is equivalent to the one given by Mendez.
Let cn denote the number of nodes at a distance $n$ from the root of a rooted tree. A criterion for proving the rationality and computing the rational generating function of the sequence {cn} is described. This criterion is applied to counting the number of conjugacy classes of commuting tuples in finite groups and the number of isomorphism classes of representations of polynomial algebras over finite fields. The method for computing the rational generating functions, when applied to the study of point configurations in finite sets, gives rise to some classical combinatorial results on Bell numbers and Stirling numbers of the second kind. When applied to the study of vector configurations in a finite vector space, it reveals a connection between counting such configurations and Gaussian binomial coefficients.
We compute the number of orbits of pairs in a finitely generated torsion module (more generally, a module of bounded order) over a discrete valuation ring. The answer is found to be a polynomial in the cardinality of the residue field whose coefficients are integers which depend only on the elementary divisors of the module, and not on the ring in question. The coefficients of these polynomials are conjectured to be non-negative integers.
We describe a basis of the centre of the Schur algebra that comes from conjugacy classes in the symmetric group via Schur-Weyl duality. We give a combinatorial description of expansions of these basis elements in terms of the basis originally used by Schur. The primitive central idempotents of the Schur algebra can be written down using this basis and the character table of the symmetric group in the semisimple case. Along the way we prove a result on the non-singularity of the submatrix of the character table matrix of a symmetric group obtained by taking rows and columns indexed by partitions with at most $n$ parts for any $n$.
Let R be a principal ideal local ring of length two, for example, the ring $R=\mathbf Z/p^2\mathbf Z$ with $p$ prime. In this paper we develop a theory of normal forms for similarity classes in the matrix rings $M_n(R)$ by interpreting them in terms of extensions of $R[t]$-modules. Using this theory, we describe the similarity classes in $M_n(R)$ for $n\leq 4$, along with their centralizers. Among these, we characterize those classes which are similar to their transposes. Non-self-transpose classes are shown to exist for all $n>3$. When $R$ has finite residue field of order $q$, we enumerate the similarity classes and the cardinalities of their centralizers as polynomials in $q$. Surprisingly, these polynomials turn out to have non-negative integer coefficients.
Let $F$ be a non-Archimedean local field and let $E$ be a finite extension of $F$. Let $G$ be a split semisimple $F$-group. We discuss how to compare distances on the Bruhat-Tits buildings $\mathbf B_E$ and $\mathbf B_F$ of $G(E)$ and $G(F)$ respectively. We also discuss the comparison of volumes on finite volume arithmetic quotients of the buildings.
A tuple (or subgroup) in a group is said to degenerate to another if the latter is an endomorphic image of the former. In a countable reduced abelian group, it is shown that if tuples (or finite subgroups) degenerate to each other, then they lie in the same automorphism orbit. The proof is based on techniques that were developed by Kaplansky and Mackey in order to give an elegant proof of Ulm's theorem. Similar results hold for reduced countably generated torsion modules over principal ideal domains. It is shown that the depth and the description of atoms of the resulting poset of orbits of tuples depend only on the Ulm invariants of the module in question (and not on the underlying ring). A complete description of the poset of orbits of elements in terms of the Ulm invariants of the module is given. The relationship between this description of orbits and a very different-looking one obtained by Dutta and Prasad for torsion modules of bounded order is explained.
We prove positive characteristic versions of the logarithm laws of Sullivan and Kleinbock-Margulis and obtain related results in Metric Diophantine Approximation.
The centralizer algebra of a matrix consists of those matrices that commute with it. We investigate the basic representation-theoretic invariants of centralizer algebras, namely their radicals, projective indecomposable modules, injective indecomposable modules, simple modules and Cartan matrices. With the help of our Cartan matrix calculations we determine their global dimensions. Many of these algebras are of infinite global dimension.
The Weil representation of the symplectic group associated to a finite abelian group of odd order is shown to have a multiplicity-free decomposition. When the abelian group is p-primary of type λ, the irreducible representations occurring in the Weil representation are parametrized by a partially ordered set which is independent of p. As p varies, the dimension of the irreducible representation corresponding to each parameter is shown to be a polynomial in p which is calculated explicitly. The commuting algebra of the Weil representation has a basis indexed by another partially ordered set which is independent of p. The expansions of the projection operators onto the irreducible invariant subspaces in terms of this basis are calculated. The coefficients are again polynomials in p. These results remain valid in the more general setting of finitely generated torsion modules over a Dedekind domain.
A notion of degeneration of elements in groups is introduced. It is used to parametrize the orbits in a finite abelian group under its full automorphism group by a finite distributive lattice. A pictorial description of this lattice leads to an intuitive self-contained exposition of some of the basic facts concerning these orbits, including their enumeration. Given a partition λ, the lattice parametrizing orbits in a finite abelian p-group of type λ is found to be independent of p. The order of the orbit corresponding to each parameter, which turns out to be a polynomial in p, is calculated. The description of orbits is extended to subquotients by certain characteristic subgroups. Each such characteristic subquotient is shown to have a unique maximal orbit.
In this expository article, we discuss the relation between the Gaussian binomial and multinomial coefficients and ordinary binomial and multinomial coefficients from a combinatorial viewpoint, based on expositions by Butler, Knuth and Stanley.
The Stone-von Neumann-Mackey Theorem for locally compact abelian groups is proved using the Peter-Weyl theorem and the theory of Fourier transforms for finite dimensional real vector spaces. A theorem of Pontryagin and van Kampen on the structure of locally compact abelian groups (which is evident in any particular case) is assumed.
Inductive algebras for the irreducible unitary representations of the universal cover of the group of unimodular two by two matrices are classified. The classification of homogeneous shift operators is obtained as a direct consequence. This gives a new approach to the results of Bagchi and Misra.
Is every locally compact abelian group which admits a symplectic self-duality isomorphic to the product of a locally compact abelian group and its Pontryagin dual? Several sufficient conditions, covering all the typical applications are found. Counterexamples are produced by studying a seemingly unrelated question about the structure of maximal isotropic subgroups of finite abelian groups with symplectic self-duality (where the original question always has an affirmative answer).
This article gives a fairly self-contained treatment of the basic facts about the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of a split p-adic group, including Bernstein's presentation, Macdonald's formula, the Casselman-Shalika formula, and the Lusztig-Kato formula.
A characterization of the maximal abelian sub-algebras of matrix algebras that are normalized by the canonical representation of a finite Heisenberg group is given. Examples are constructed using a classification result for finite Heisenberg groups.
We define a new notion of cuspidality for representations of GLn over a finite quotient Ok of the ring of integers O of a non-Archimedean local field F using geometric and infinitesimal induction functors, which involve automorphism groups Gλ of torsion O-modules. When n is a prime, we show that this notion of cuspidality is equivalent to strong cuspidality, which arises in the construction of supercuspidal representations of GLn(F). We show that strongly cuspidal representations share many features of cuspidal representations of finite general linear groups. In the function field case, we show that the construction of the representations of GLn(Ok) for k≥ 2 for all n is equivalent to the construction of the representations of all the groups Gλ. A functional equation for zeta functions for representations of GLn(Ok) is established for representations which are not contained in an infinitesimally induced representation. All the cuspidal representations for GL4(O2) are constructed. Not all these representations are strongly cuspidal.
We develop a simple algebraic approach to the study of the Weil representation associated to a finite abelian group. As a result, we obtain a simple proof of a generalisation of a well-known formula for the absolute value of its character. We also obtain a new result about its decomposition into irreducible representations. As an example, the decomposition of the Weil representation of Sp2g(Z/NZ) is described for odd N.
In this paper similarity classes of three by three matrices over a local principal ideal commutative ring are analyzed. When the residue field is finite, a generating function for the number of similarity classes for all finite quotients of the ring is computed explicitly.
We announce ultrametric analogues of the results of Kleinbock-Margulis for shrinking target properties of semisimple group actions on symmetric spaces. The main applications are S-arithmetic Diophantine approximation results and logarithm laws for buildings, generalizing the work of Hersonsky-Paulin on trees.
Eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a hyperboloid are studied in the spirit of the treatment of the spherical harmonics by Stein and Weiss. As a special case, a simple self-contained proof of Laplace's integral for a Legendre function is obtained.
An element x of a finite group G is said to be p-regular if its order is not divisible by p. Brauer gave several proofs of the fact that the number of isomorphism classes of irreducible representations of G over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p is the same as the number of conjugacy classes in G that consist of p-regular elements. One such proof is presented here.
Let A be a local commutative principal ideal ring. We study the double coset space of GL(n,A) with respect to the subgroup of upper triangular matrices. Geometrically, these cosets describe the relative position of two full flags of free primitive submodules of An. If k is the length of the ring, we determine for which of the pairs (n,k) the double coset space depend on the ring in question. For n=3, we give a complete parametrisation of the double coset space and provide estimates on the rate of growth of the number of double cosets.
This article gives conceptual statements and proofs relating parabolic induction and Jacquet functors on split reductive groups over a non-Archimedean local field to the associated Iwahori-Hecke algebra as tensoring from and restricting to parabolic subalgebras. The main tool is Bernstein's presentation of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra.
Let G be a split semisimple group over a finite field Fq, F the field Fq(t) of rational functions in t with coefficients in Fq and A the adèles of F. We describe the irreducible automorphic representations of G(A) which have non-zero vectors invariant under Iwahori subgroups at two places and under maximal compact subgroups at all other places in terms of the irreducible square-integrable representations of an Iwahori-Hecke algebra associated to G and the Satake isomorphism.
Let G be a split reductive group over a finite field Fq. Let F=Fq(t) and let A denote the adèles of F. We show that every double coset in G(F)\G(A)/K has a representative in a maximal split torus of G. Here K is the set of integral adelic points of G. When G ranges over general linear groups this is equivalent to the assertion that any algebraic vector bundle over the projective line is isomorphic to a direct sum of line bundles.
Let G be a split adjoint group defined over Fq, let Fq(t), and let A be the adèles of F. We describe the local constituents at two points of automorphic representations of G in the discrete part of L2(G(F)\G(A)) which have vectors invariant under Iwahori subgroups at these two points and are unramified at all other points.
Let G be a split semisimple group over a finite field Fq, let F = Fq (t), and let A denote the adèles of F. For all the irreducible representations of G(A) occurring in the discrete part of L2(G(F)\G(A)) which have vectors invariant under Iwahori subgroups at two places of F and maximal compact subgroups at all other places, we describe the local constituents at those two places in terms of the irreducible square integrable representations of an Iwahori Hecke algebra. We include proofs of certain well known results about the classification of principal G-bundles on the projective line which we use in our calculations.

It's the Robinsons Cardmembers preview sale yesterday and today. After work, met up with sis and her colleague so we can see if there's any bargains. Robinsons at Raffles City SC is so so packed! Just too many people and its sale, people in Singapore gets selfish and blocks lanes etc..
Give up shopping. We are going for dinner instead. Half an hour of wait, we got in to Sushi Tei. Sis colleague is a vegetarian by choice.
She ordered a Yasai Miso Soup. $6 It's a very big bowl of soup!
And ate it with assortment of sushi. $6
Sis and I, other than stealing her colleague's sushi, we had the Chanko Nabe. $22. We had the spicy miso base. It's on a big metal container that's over the portable gas cooker.
It has mushroom, cabbages, tao pok, leek, tofu, carrots, potatoes, melon and udon.
It also comes with minced chicken on bamboo. We just scrap and shape them into balls and it goes into the so called 'steamboat'.
Very soupy soupy night. After that we left this place and headed for desserts.

The Landlord Game / Pre-Monopoly Game Patent
Invented By: Lizzie Magie
Patent Date: January 5, 1904
+ + + + +
Patent Date: January 5, 1904
+ + + + +
This patent 'The Landlord's Game' is a board game patented in 1904 by Elizabeth Magie. Magie based the game on the economic principles of Georgism, a system proposed by Henry George. The object of the game was to demonstrate how rents enrich property owners and impoverish tenants. Though many similar home-made games were played at the beginning of the 20th century and some predate.
Although The Landlord's Game was patented, it was not taken up by a
manufacturer until 1910, when it was published in the U.S. by the
Economic Game Company of New York.
Magie moved back to Illinois, her birthplace, where she was married in 1910,
moved with her husband to the Washington D.C area, and eventually
patented a new version of The Landlord's Game in 1924 (under her
married name, Elizabeth Magie Phillips). This version, unlike the
illustration depicted in her first patent, included named streets, some
named after locations in Chicago.
The Landlord Game / Pre-Monopoly Game Revised Patent
Invented By: Lizzie Magie

Patent Date: September 23, 1924

Magie held the patent for The Landlord's Game until 1935, when she sold it to Parker Brothers for $500. The company had recently started distributing Charles Darrow's Monopoly and was buying up the patents of various commercial forms of
the game in order to claim undisputed rights to selling it. As part of
the purchase agreement, which Magie insisted upon, Parker Brothers
manufactured and marketed three of her games, one of which was an
un-altered version of The Landlord's Game which sold several hundred
copies until it was discontinued.

TQ7036 : Finchcocks Farm Oast, Finchcocks, Goudhurst
taken 5 years ago, near to Kilndown, Kent, Great Britain
Finchcocks Farm Oast
Six square kiln oast house. The oast house was drying hops until 2009, and converted to a nine bedroom house in 2012 and offered as holiday accommodation.
The oast house was capable of drying upto 2 tons of hops per day.
The building featured on the Channel 4 program "Restoration Man" on 27th December 2012.
Oast Houses
An Oast House is a building used to dry fresh hops before they are sent to the brewers, to be used for flavouring beer. A traditional Oast House consists of the 'oast' and the 'stowage'. The oast was a kiln, with a plenum chamber fired by charcoal at ground floor and the drying floor directly above. The steep pitched roof channelled the hot air through the hops to the top. The stowage, was the barn section, it had a cooling floor and press at first floor and storage area at ground floor. Read more Link

Intermodal and Intramodal Competition in Passenger Rail Transport
The objective of the paper is to elaborate a simulation model to analyse inter and intra-modal competition in the transport industry, based on game theory models. In our setting, consumers choose a transport mode and an operator to travel on a given city-pair; operators strategically decide on prices for the types of service they provide. We derive the market equilibrium and simulate potential scenarios. In particular we measure the impact of entry by a low cost train operator and the effect of a kerosene tax. Hence our framework could serve as a tool to measure the effectiveness of competition on a relevant market or to design marketing strategies. More generally it can be applied in cases of oligopolistic competition when detailed data are not available.

Think twice about what food you bring to the airport.
Jason Cruz was at New York's JFK International Airport last Thursday. He was scheduled to fly from New York to Los Angeles. The flight from New York to LA is a long one, so Cruz understandably grabbed some food before boarding the plane. He went to a local Astoria deli and grabbed his sandwich of choice, which is nicknamed "The Bomb" because of its explosive flavor.

At the airport, Cruz was talking to his friend Matthew Okumoto while waiting to pass through security. Referring to his sandwich, Cruz turned to his friend and said he wanted to bring "The Bomb" aboard the plane.

Everyone, meet Madeline Stuart. She's the first-ever professional model with Down Syndrome, and she's inspiring millions of people around the world:Nice one, Jason.
A TSA agent heard Cruz's comment and reacted immediately, thinking he was referring to an explosive bomb rather than a 'bomb' tasting combination of bread, meat and cheese.
TSA agents took the men into custody. Cruz and his friend were questioned extensively in a holding area, and airport police were called. After it became clear that the bomb being referred to had actually been a sandwich, the men were released. Needless to say, they missed their flight. That sandwich better have been really good.
In more serious news, the TSA appears to be better at preventing sandwiches from boarding planes than real bombs. As part of a training routine, an undercover TSA training agent stuffed a mock bomb in his pants and tried to board a plane. He passed through all security checkpoints with no problem.
"He did have a simulated IED in his pants," an agent said. "They did not find it."
The TSA's failure prompted New York Congressman Peter King to call for an extensive review of TSA security protocols at the region's airports.

What do men want? It's an imponderable question which I feel strangely unqualified to answer. I suspect there are quite a few men who feel like me: I have an aversion to shopping, contempt for most advertising, only a vague notion of where I'm going in life, a bemused attitude to extreme sports, and a fairly strong conviction that repeatedly showing me images of semi-naked women will do nothing but make me feel depressed, frustrated and grubby. So when I leaf through a pile of men's magazines, I can't help wondering who they're addressing.
But the inner dialogue of British men – their preoccupations, needs and neuroses – is something that editors on these magazines must spend untold hours pondering.
A stack of current issues reveals some of their attempts at connecting with me: FHM asks if I've ever paid for sex before telling me what it's like to be a Californian firefighter; GQ enlists Piers Morgan to "undress" a "Hollywood hottie", while Zoo prefers to show images of Jodie Marsh sucking a lollipop while a teddy bear obscures her genitals; Esquire gives a taste of what it's like to freefall from space; Nuts shows some stills from horror films, and a camera-phone snap sent in by Laura (from Burnley) of her in the bathroom with her top off. Men's Health, by contrast, tells me how to master the "one-arm chin-up", something that I've never even come remotely close to attempting.
While this is obviously a cursory spin through, much of the content could be summed up as cars, tits, danger, six-packs, tits, booze, football, tits, and tits. How's this approach working out? Not particularly well. The sector as a whole is selling 3.8 per cent fewer magazines than last year, but four titles in particular – FHM, Zoo, Nuts and Loaded – have shown a dramatic fall; FHM has slumped by 18.1 per cent year-on-year, while Zoo has seen a 27.9 per cent fall to 80,026 copies per week. Five years ago it was shifting 260,000.
Following their triumphant launch in the mid-1990s, the magazines that might loosely be termed "lads mags" now appear to be stuck in a decline that, for some, might prove to be terminal. While some of this is down to the fall in consumption of print media, the way that the sector's decline is borne largely by these four titles has led to a debate about how relevant they are to the 21st-century bloke. Are we rejecting their swagger in a return to a more touchy-feely, new-man approach? Have we decided their portrayal of women is crass and insensitive? Or are we simply spending our cash on booze and protein shakes and getting our kicks from online porn? What does our wildly changeable magazine consumption say about our masculinity?
Drawing parallels between the sale of glossy printed paper and shifts in sexual politics inevitably involves sweeping generalisations and misplaced theories. But the focus groups employed by the industry have returned the same findings for the past few years: men don't necessarily share the lads mags' values any longer. Phil Hilton, formerly of Men's Health, Nuts, and now the editorial director of free men's weekly title Shortlist (the most widely-read men's magazine in the UK) believes that much of this is down to the uncertainty faced by young men. "There's been a social change for them – employment-wise, role-wise, relationship-wise," he says. "A lot of certainties have faded away. They're trying to build careers, they're finding it nerve-racking, and I don't think those magazines reflect the current mood so much. As for older men, our research shows an almost visceral hatred of that market. I think times are changing."
Proving the suggestion that we're more playboy in boom-time and more puritan in a recession is tricky. And it's equally hard to interpret focus-group findings as broadly representative of men's attitudes – after all, we're enamoured enough with the range of men's magazines to buy 2.12m copies of them every month. But journalist and sociologist, Natasha Radmehr, notes a shift in the portrayal of men in film and television that also runs contrary to the lad mag ethos. "Geeky, sensitive guys have become the new pin-up boys (or protagonists, at least) in a lot of film and TV," she says. "They're more attuned to how women feel, and this doesn't sit well with that image of guys being beer-and-boob-obsessed oafs who need constant guidance on how to deal with the opposite sex."
The presentation of women in lads mags has always been a controversial topic. I can almost hear the debate play out in my head as I open a copy of Nuts and look at pictures of the actress Maria Fowler. She's undeniably beautiful, but seeing the legend "34E CHEST!" slapped across the photos makes me roll my eyes and adopt a pained expression.
"You can see the tone of contempt that runs throughout these magazines," says Matt McCormack Evans, the 22-year-old founder of the campaigning group, The AntiPornMenProject. "Not just the objectification, but also the trivialisation of issues like prostitution. For socially-conscious young men, I think there's a huge disconnect between what they're presented with and what they think is right."
But the publishers aren't stupid; over many years they've established that putting a semi-naked woman on the cover of a men's magazine is a surefire way of selling it. The issue of GQ I've got in front of me features a picture of a pouting, gently perspiring, slightly dishevelled Jessica Alba. Inside the magazine, meanwhile, is a thoughtful piece by The Independent's Johann Hari exploring the reasons why speed cameras should remain stationed on our highways. The contrast between the two feels almost surreal.
Shortlist, as a free title handed out at railway stations, doesn't have news-stand pressure and refrains from using such images. It would feel strange if they did; I can honestly say that I've never seen a man reading a copy of Nuts or Zoo on public transport, which may well be a quiet indicator of how we really feel about them. But while Phil Hilton stresses that Shortlist will only ever use cover images "that reflect well on the people holding them", pretending that sex doesn't sell magazines is ridiculous, according to Joe Barnes, editor of independent men's magazine, Front.
In stark contrast to the rest of the sector, Front has seen its readership increase by 7.8 per cent in the past year, attracted by its mix of music coverage, irreverent humour, ladette-next-door photo features and a "no fake boobs" guarantee. "It's depressing how people want to stick an axe in our back," he says. "People seem to celebrate the demise of lads mags, but if they think they're celebrating the end of men enjoying looking at naked women, they're very wrong. I'm really proud of Front – I think it's a really interesting, creative mag, targeted at young men who are bored in their bedrooms, who just want a bit of irreverence. And girls love it, too. If you could release a version of the mag for them, I think it would outsell Front."
The almost unimaginable quantity of hardcore pornography on the internet is often cited as a reason why men may be rejecting the milder titillation on offer below the newsagent's top shelf. But internet porn has been a constant throughout the lives of Nuts, Zoo and Front; they found their niche by focusing on "real women" that their readership might consider more attainable.
According to Fred Attenborough, a lecturer in media studies at Loughborough University, the competition is now coming from an entirely different internet source – and one that men may be equally unwilling to admit to focus groups. "For me, it's all about Facebook," he says. "It's the interactive element. You have young men who were once looking at the girl-next-door in lads mags, now actually interacting with female friends of friends online. As someone who's surrounded by teenagers at Loughborough, I know it's going on. They just don't need the mags anymore. It's becoming a DIY culture."
And faced with a long train journey, the lure of Facebook – along with games, the web, text messages, video etc – on a smartphone may be another reason why some magazines' sales are declining. The more upmarket men's mags are having an easier time than their lad-mag counterparts. Sales of GQ and Esquire are holding up, while Shortlist's success – over half a million weekly copies distributed – incorporates similarly "intelligent" content.
All this may have inspired the decision by the publishing house Bauer to pilot a new weekly newsstand title for "successful" men (irritatingly) called Gaz7eta. Ella Dolphin, publisher of Grazia and overseer of the Gaz7eta project, says that focus groups revealed another strong current need for men: mentorship and guidance. "Our testing showed that men have a real interest in the idea of legends, mentors and advisors," she says. "So our pilot issue has a back-page feature called 'What I Learnt', which features Lemmy from Motorhead passing on advice from genuine experience."
I'm unsure as to whether Lemmy has anything to say to me about my life, but Gaz7eta isn't alone in identifying some kind of need for mentorship. Hilton references one very popular section of Shortlist's website, "Instant Improver". "It partners a newish slot in the magazine called 'Instructions for Men', and I think there's a hunger for this – the lost manly skills. With the end of a lot of industrial work, men are sitting around in offices – but we don't know how to mend a plug or change a tyre. That makes us feel uncomfortable."
Manlab, a current BBC2 series presented by James May, adopts a similar thread, while a clutch of American websites – The Art of Manliness, Made Possible, Man of the House and Good Men Project – are also proving popular, with a combination of witty writing and self-improvement tips.
Benoit Denizet-Lewis, a writer for The New York Times Magazine and editor of the Good Men Project, says that the website is something of a leap of faith. "By putting this out there, we're saying that there are thoughtful men, men with a conscience, who aren't currently being spoken to in any kind of intelligent or interesting way. So we're starting an honest conversation about manhood, about what it means to be a good man in America. Twenty-five per cent of our profits go to charity to help at-risk boys, too, so we're genuinely trying to do good across the board. This is an experiment that's going on right now with us and other websites, and the signs are positive."
My inability to wrestle with fuse wire without first consulting my dad doesn't really bother me unduly; I find myself watching Manlab more because it's gently funny and nicely researched. The author and journalist Mark Simpson also believes that this reclamation of masculinity is merely entertainment. He sees the only real evidence of self-improvement as being physical – as demonstrated by the huge success of Men's Health. "The victory here is that a magazine with men's tits on the cover has become Britain's bestselling men's magazine," he says. "That's happened because it focuses on men themselves, their neuroses – and particularly their own bodies." It's a title that's celebrated within the industry because of the way its incredibly rigid formula – particularly its obsession with abdominal muscle development – has succeeded in getting almost a quarter of a million men to part with £3.99 every month. What's less clear is the readers' motivation for doing so.
Suraya Sidhu Singh, the editor of women's erotic magazine Filament, isn't sure that it's about attracting women. She believes it's a culmination of the growing issue of male vanity. "It's strange: they're marketing a body image, an appearance in men that women aren't necessarily into. For some men, it's become a competitiveness thing; I'm sure that some believe that it will make them hot for the girls, but it's not necessarily the case."
This comes as a relief to me; my own physique bears as much similarity to the front cover of Men's Health as it does Angling Times. "I think this is more about how men feel about themselves when they look in the mirror," says Simpson. "Men's magazines today have to speak to men directly about their interests, and if the success of Men's Health is anything to go by, they're mostly interested in themselves." Young men of the 1970s would probably regard their modern counterparts' willingness to openly discuss the merits of various brands of hair gel utterly baffling.
Perhaps the feminist argument is right: men are now being put in the position that women have been in for decades (if not centuries), in that we're being pressured to look a certain way, and persuaded that certain products are needed to achieve that. I can certainly find no other explanation for the quantity of Nivea-branded items in my bathroom. "I think men's magazines have done what they were invented to do," says Simpson, "and that's to deliver high-end advertising to a market that had remained resolutely unpenetrated. Loaded came up with the formula for getting men to buy glossies. FHM perfected it. And now we're buying the products they advertise. But we're advertised at in a million different ways, now. So magazines are finding themselves caught in a pincer action between a lack of interest in print media, and the fact that they don't really have a function anymore."
The columnist Suzanne Moore believes that magazines will continue to struggle to speak to men. "Women are used to being identified as a consumer group," she says. "We've been addressed this way for 50 years. But men identify themselves more by what they do, and I'm not sure that issuing them with instructions on how to be a man is something they necessarily appreciate. The magazines are almost becoming manuals. And I think men like to assume that they know what they're doing – which of course they don't."
Do I want, or need, to be told how to be a man? For decades there's supposed to have been some kind of crisis of masculinity, but there are so many cross-cutting discourses that it's impossible to know exactly what that crisis is. Perhaps no wonder, then, that the failing magazines feel they're on something of a wild-goose chase. But according to Phil Hilton, it's simple. "It's just about arming yourself up for relationships and working life, making the best of yourself. Find the right woman, try not to be a total shambles at work, look as if you know what you're doing when you leave the house in the morning." If that's all that us men want, it's a fairly modest ambition. But it's one that Jodie Marsh, sucking on a lollipop, probably isn't going to be able to help me with.

Hi fellow TAs! Was hoping you could help me out. Will be visiting for Labour (labor) day weekend for my friend's bachelor party. Last year I did EZ and it was somewhat of a clusterfuck, not to mention I'm not a fan of the rise of dubstep/electro. Anyway, would be a terrible idea for a bachelor party anyway. To that end, it might seem strange that we would want to go anywhere non strip clubby, but we're from Montreal, so it's not really a novelty. Looking for an after hours that plays good techno (the groom's favourite genre and to be clear I don't mean techno the way the layperson describes EDM). Obviously if there was an event for a Chris Liebing, Carl Cox, Umek, etc. we'd go there, but we're thinking just a regular place that has a solid repertoire. Additionally, what are some of the best lounges music-wise (I'm thinking progressive/house...non-cheese)? Thanks for your input!

Describe Yourself:
i only buy what i consider educational and top of the line products this is one of them.
Would you recommend?
my kids love this toy just stacking them and putting them together to make the biggest they can. I had only one concern; I dont think it was good for children like my son who puts everything in his mouth even at age 4. my daughter was not a mouther by 2 so I purchased this for her and as much as her little brother now 4 loves to play with them I had to constantly watch him not to put in his mouth.

UNITE HERE and Hyatt Reach an Agreement!
Posted: July 2, 2013 Filed under: American Jewish Community, Human Rights, Hyatt Boycott, Labor Justice, Unions 3 CommentsReaders of this blog know I've long stood in solidarity with Hyatt hotel workers during their four year struggle for justice. (If you'd like a little history, you can read about it here, here, here and here, for instance.)
I'm thrilled to now learn that the Hyatt workers' union, UNITE HERE has reached a national agreement with Hyatt. According to a union press release which came out yesterday, both UNITE HERE and Hyatt have hailed the agreement as "a positive step:"
The agreement will go into effect upon the settlement and ratification of union contracts by Hyatt associates in San Francisco, Honolulu, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Pending associate approval, the contracts will provide retroactive wage increases and maintain quality health care and pension benefits. The proposed new contracts would cover associates into 2018.A key provision of the agreement establishes a fair process, which includes a mechanism for employees at a number of Hyatt hotels to vote on whether they wish to be represented by UNITE HERE. As part of the accord, upon ratification of the union contracts, UNITE HERE will end its global boycott of Hyatt.
D. Taylor, the president of UNITE HERE, said, "We look forward to a new collaborative relationship with Hyatt. This agreement shows that when workers across the hotel industry stand together, they can move forward, even in a tough economy. Both organizations deserve credit for working out this constructive step forward."
"We are delighted that our associates in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Waikiki will have contracts and the pay raises that go with them," said Doug Patrick, Senior Vice President, Human Resources for Hyatt.
The Chicago Tribune has reported that according to the agreement, about 5,000 workers would see pay and benefits packages rise an average of 4 percent a year. Regarding the issues of job safety and outsourcing (two key issues for the union), Chicago Public Radio reports "the new contracts will include no new safety language but will bring some outsourced work back to Hyatt."
I'm delighted for the workers of Hyatt and it has been my honor to stand with them during the course of this long and difficult struggle. One important takeaway for me is the importance and effectiveness of boycotts as an essential tool of the labor movement. In particular, I hope organizations will increasingly insist upon protective language in their hotel contracts so that they can honor boycotts without penalty.
This campaign has also opened my eyes to the hard truth that labor justice is nowhere near the priority in the Jewish community that it once was. Indeed, the Hyatt boycott represented an important test to my community – and it is clear to me that there is much work left to be done. I wrote as much in the Jewish Forward last year when it was revealed that the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism had signed contracts with boycotted Hyatt Hotels for their conventions:
It is simply not enough to invoke the International Ladies Garment Workers Union and offer bland statements about the historic role Jews played in building the American labor movement. True solidarity means understanding that the struggle ever continues. And that there are flesh and blood "stakeholders" in our own day who call on us to support the sacred cause of worker justice.
Congratulations to UNITE HERE and to all those who stood in solidarity with the workers of Hyatt. And now the struggle continues…

Great post Brant. I'm sure we'll still need to keep an eye on Hyatt to ensure no backsliding! Sadly, many organizations I respect (including the American Library Association) have held conferences at Hyatt.

CAIRO (AP) — Inside the Egyptian Museum, there are 200,000 items showing the splendor of the country's history — and few tourists to see them.
The palatial, 111-year-old salmon-colored building near Cairo's downtown sits near Tahrir Square, the site of many of the protests in Egypt's continued political instability. That's driven away tourists from the museum.
On a recent visit to the museum by an Associated Press photographer, there were few foreign visitors. There were none at its most prized exhibits of mummies and King Tut's treasures. Instead, the artifacts sat in the shadows and the dust of the museum, some identified only by handwritten notecards randomly in Arabic, English and French.
Here is a gallery of images of the Egyptian Museum and the artifacts within it from AP photographer Nariman el-Mofty.
