For those who follow Ontario politics closely, it's a growing mystery.
Kathleen Wynne had a very good first few months in office – bucking the odds by getting a budget through her province's minority legislature, while winning back some support for the governing Liberals on the strength of her personality. But a strange sort of policy inertia seems to have set in, in which the rookie Premier is failing to put forward an activist agenda that shows she has answers to the province's economic and fiscal challenges, and as a result is struggling to turn the page from her party's gas-plants scandal.
It's not as though Ms. Wynne lacks for either personal energy or policy smarts. But there are a few other possible explanations for what's going on.
She's suffering for how she came into office
Like most leadership campaigns, the one to replace Dalton McGuinty was very light on policy. Unlike most winners of such contests, Ms. Wynne not only went straight to running government, but did so with a commitment to bring back the legislature almost immediately.
She and her advisers have since spent so much time dealing with Mr. McGuinty's baggage and playing defence against a highly aggressive opposition – not to mention fighting mid-summer by-elections – that they've had limited chance to catch their breath and look forward.
Her priorities and the province's short-term imperatives don't easily align
Ms. Wynne is not as far to the left as some believe, but her "fair society" rhetoric upon taking office made clear her interest in social investments. She managed to do a bit of that through the budget, but the province's $10-billion deficit means she doesn't have much real money to play with. And while aggressively fighting that deficit might be framed as a way to maintain a social conscience in future, her appetite for cost-cutting appears limited.
That leaves her now identifying job creation as being her top focus, but it's not clear if that's out of conviction or because polls told her it's what Ontarians want to hear.
She's getting too much advice
It's a refreshing change from Mr. McGuinty, who maintained an extremely small inner circle, that Ms. Wynne seeks wider counsel. She also has what is by all accounts a very sharp mind for policy, quickly grasping issues and asking smart questions about them. But it's possible that she's falling into the Paul Martin trap, in which too many voices and too much information leads to indecision. Sometimes for better and sometimes for worse, Mr. McGuinty was capable of picking a lane. It remains to be seen how easily Ms. Wynne can do likewise.
She took too much from her early success
There's little sign that all the positive reviews early on caused Ms. Wynne's ego to swell. But they may have given a little too much comfort to her and her team that she would be able to get by on charm and on her ability to play whatever cards were dealt to her.
After the Liberals entered the summer feeling pretty good about themselves, by-elections in which they lost three of five seats they held previously gave some pause. They may be paying for lacking enough urgency sooner.
She's saving her best stuff for closer to an election
Many Liberals are now talking as though a general election next spring is inevitable. They also know they'll be hard-pressed to get much of anything through the fractious legislature before then. So they may be waiting for a budget that could double as a campaign document to unveil their most substantive ideas.
That's probably the most optimistic theory. But it would also suggest that Ontarians are in for another few months of their government doing little to change the status quo.Report Typo/Error

Carlo Strenger writing in Haaretz raised several issues concerning Israel society which most probably begin to explain its self destructive behavior and desire to become isolated from the world. The presence of Avigdor Lieberman, an ignorant, bullying man who lacks any training or experience in world affairs is the foreign minister of a nation seeking to establish ties with the world. How does one explain the presence of such an individual in leadership? It would be akin to appointing Sarah Palin as Secretary of State. According to Strenger, Lieberman is a symptom of a malaise which grips the Israeli people. "Israel's intoxication with Jewish power, the belief that chutzpah is better than ingratiating ourselves to the gentiles was part of Jewish culture before Mr. Lieberman was ever born."
He blames the Israel political system which allows incompetents like Lieberman to be given important government roles because his party is need to gain a majority in the Knesset. Members of Israel's foreign ministry are appalled to work under the leadership of someone who is "completely unsuited for the job of foreign minister." It is a country in which a majority believes in secular ideas but civil marriage has yet to arrive in Israel. It is a nation which has dozens of ministers who are appointed to pay off political debts, not due to their abilities.
As Strenger notes: "my sympathies for Lieberman are zero. Like many others, I think that this skillful politician is a danger for Israel democracy. But, we can't blame him for a political system that sucks. Lieberman didn't invent the system, he must makes skillful use of it."
Israel was charged with various crimes by the Goldstone Report, but its author also urged the Israel government to conduct its own investigation. As of this date, nothing has been done by Israel to investigate in order to disprove Goldstone, the only response is to deny and deny. This is a nation which contains an Arab minority which has endured humiliation and second class citizenship, but has remarkably demonstrated its loyalty.
What has happened to the Jewish people of Israel is the real question? In which ways do they demonstrate historic Jewish values of social justice?

The talk of Friday's Lake Placid Summit Classic involved two topics, both Syracuse-related but both very different.
The first was the appearance of Mikey Powell, playing with the Burning Orange Open Division squad that beat NESLL Team Steak 12-9 in their first game. Powell ran attack alongside Liam Banks and Kenny Nims for much of the day, sporting a nice look of tinted visor, black Easton gear and a headband he made out of a T-shirt his brother Casey gave him.
Their opening game drew quite a crowd as word circulated that Powell was playing. He drew quite a crowd on the field too, including one play toward the end of the game when he dodged through three guys and was about to put on a show when BO called timeout. He just put up his hands in jest as the timeout was called. He'll be fun to watch the rest of the way, especially now that he got another stick after the game.
The other big topic was the Motive Pure/LAXFU upset of the Burnt Orange in the Master's I Division, a 7-6 OT win that bumped BO down to the fourth seed for Saturday's playoff round.
Princeton-grad Jesse Hubbard scored the game-winner for Motive Pure, who went up 4-0 early in the second quarter before the Orange stormed back to take a 6-5 lead late in the fourth quarter.
Butler's Mike Regan put up two goals for Motive Pure (including the game-tying strike with about six minutes remaining), while Princeton's Chris Massey chipped in a goal and an assist and Princeton's Jon Hess also scored. BO was led by Liam Banks (2 goals, 1 assist), Tim Byrnes (2 goals) and Ryan Powell (1 goal, 1 assist). Motive goalie Mike Zoanetti, a West Genny and Rutgers grad, was huge in the win.
My favorite moment was probably when Motive longstick Ryan Mollett stripped a BO player, raced upfield and fired a shot just wide of the net. I hear a shriek from the opposite sideline and it sounded familiar. So I looked over and sure enough, it came from Dorothy Mollett.
Sailin Shoe/Graph Tex scored the top seed for Master's I and will play BO on Saturday afternoon. The other top Master's I team was Kevin Leveille's UMassters. They take on Motive Pure on Saturday.
In Men's Open action, all the top seeds won on Saturday, though the games were closer than expected. The Cornell Big Red Steelheads squad won despite not yet having Rob Pannell. They'll play the Burning Orange (who also have JoJo Marasco, Pat Perritt and a host of other SU stars) on Saturday in what will be the day's biggest early game — loser goes home.
Friday's weather was absolutely gorgeous, with temperatures in the high 80s (which qualifies as a heat wave in Lake Placid) and sun all day. We got a chance to duck out of the games mid-day to check out Split Rock Falls (up 86 East past Whiteface Mountain), which was really cool. Little swimming hole surrounded by small cliffs where people can hang out, throw back some pops and watch people jump into the water. There were probably 50 people there when we were there.
(Shoutout to my wonderful girlfriend Julia. I blew out a flip-flop at the falls and she was nice enough to go get me another pair while I was at the fields doing the barefoot hippie thing Friday afternoon.)
Congrats to coach Roy Simmons Jr, whose 76th birthday is today. He was honored Friday night at a ceremony after the games for his Wisdom House foundation, which is in honor of his wife Nancy. He gave a great speech (as always) talking about the Syracuse contingent at Placid and how "winning is one thing, and success is something else."
Also cool to see Dom Starsia honored with the Dan Spillett Grand Master's Award. Dave White gave a great speech talking about Starsia's early box career on the Mohawk Reservation up north. I had no idea Dom played box lacrosse when he was younger, or that he started out as an offensive player. He told me after that White snuck him on to his first box game under the name of Ralph Cree. He's been coming here over 20 years, and it was good to see him sporting No. 24 and manning the D for Ultra Legends on Friday.
Check back for more coverage. The Master's I and Open Finals are Sunday at noon and 1:30. LOT of lacrosse to be played on Saturday.

Gael Clichy is not allowing himself to think about Aston Villa right now.
Arsenal failed to close to the gap on Martin O'Neill's side at the weekend after they were held to a goalless draw by West Ham at Emirates Stadium.
With 14 games left, Villa lie fourth, five points ahead of Arsène Wenger's side and, though they would be loathed to admit it, many Arsenal fans have half-an-eye on the Midlanders even when their own team are playing.
Clichy, however, is single-minded.
"Personally I don't think about Villa," he said. "We know what we have to do and we just have to think like this game after game and see what Villa do.
"They have a good team but we can't wait for them to drop points.
"We have been in the Champions League for 10 years so it would be a big blow for the Club and a big shame for the fans [if we did not make it].
"But the season is not finished so we have to go for it. I am sure we can do it still but we have to work really hard.
"Football is about confidence really and when you have a bad result, then you lose a little bit of confidence and I think that is what has happened. We really work hard in training and I think we played well on Saturday but the final ball wasn't there. So we have to carry on working because Cardiff will be a big game for us and we have to win this win."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

The Carbon Management Strategic Priority
Carbon management is moving up the corporate agenda and many companies now understand the need to handle their emissions. As you prepare to manage your carbon, review this short report on what you should do and when you should do it. This report explores companies perception of carbon management and helps evidence the case that carbon management is a growing strategic issue.
10 Stops on the Road to Carbon Management
There's no denying that managing carbon has become table stakes in today's business world. Organizations of all shapes and sizes need to manage their carbon footprint — and they know it. However, what some don't know is where to begin. This list of ten steps is a great place to start for companies that are committed to moving forward on carbon management.
Carbon Footprinting: The Next Step to Reducing Your Emissions
This report from The Carbon Trust clearly explains the key steps that a business can take to:
- Calculate its organizational carbon footprint — by measuring greenhouse gas emissions arising from all its activities and setting a benchmark for reducing emissions in the future. The guide also explains how to have the business's carbon footprint independently verified to help communicate claims with integrity.
- Assess, communicate and verify the carbon footprint of a product — a product's carbon footprint includes carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions across its entire lifecycle from manufacture and distribution to its use and disposal.
- Use a carbon footprint for ongoing carbon management — calculating a carbon footprint is just the first step in putting together a carbon management program to reduce emissions. A carbon management program can help to encourage innovation and create cost-savings across a business.
The Environmental Defense Fund's Innovation Exchange is designed to help companies starting down the path towards becoming green businesses. They provide a suite of practical yet impactful tools and a dynamic online community of peers, that can help you improve both your company and the planet. Through partnerships with large and small businesses, they have learned about what it takes to create change within a company. Many of the tools and best practices grew out of their work.
In the area of Climate Change, they explain why developing a climate strategy for your business is good for the bottom line, good for stakeholders and a good hedge against future policy implications. See the site for tools, publications, case studies and links to other resources for establishing a climate strategy. Initial steps for any company are captured in what they call the 4 "Cs": Conserve, Convert, Choose Offsets and Call for Action.

Carbonfund.org has become a major player in providing carbon calculators for a number of different business needs. Choose from the following calculators for your business needs: Employee Commute Carbon calculator, an Events Emissions calculator, a Fleet Emissions calculator, an Office Emissions calculator, a Paper Emissions calculator and a Shipping Emissions calculator.
Measure, Manage, Report: How Companies can Prepare for a Low Carbon Economy
In January, 2010 the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued guidance on disclosure of climate change risks and opportunities at publicly traded companies. Stating that "certain existing disclosure rules…may require a company to disclose the impact that business or legal developments related to climate change may have on its business," the guidance directs companies to evaluate and disclose the physical impacts of climate change on their operations. The guidance issued by the Commission did not provide a framework for such evaluation and disclosure. In order to help companies develop meaningful initiatives, the Environmental Defense Fund has published A Roadmap to Corporate GHG Programs. See especially page 2, Steps to Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions.

Protestors Are Unhappy With The Treatment Of Circus Animals
Published January 13th, 2014
Loading Video...
The Ringling Brothers held their show this weekend in Gainesville.
Although many were excited for the show, some say that the company has a history of abusing its animals.
Protestors stood on the corner of University Avenue and Gale Lemerand with signs showing the abuse they say happens in the circus.
According to Peta, the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus has been cited numerous times for animal welfare violations.
Protestors say the circus animals are shackled and beaten when they are trained for the show.
Protests began Friday and the protestors say they will continue until the show leaves.

text: Antiques Roadshow: a priceless treasure The cosy Sunday-night series is worth its weight in gold... Comments Written By 3:47 PM, 01 September 2008 Nice cup of tea? Hot buttered crumpet? Antiques Roadshow? Mmmm…don't mind if I do. Yes, Antiques Roadshow is the epitome of Sunday-night cosiness. A toasty duvet of a television programme to wrap round yourself as the evenings draw in. So why is the latest series being heralded by a TV trailer featuring sports cars and explosions, along with the implication that slinky new presenter Fiona Bruce is here to "sex up" the programme? What next, a breakbeat version of the theme tune? I don't want Antiques Roadshow sexed up! I can't think of anything more inappropriate (well, not that I can mention here). Antiques Roadshow is about tradition and history, romance and drama. Polished wood, burnished silver. Porcelain. Scrimshaw. Yes, scrimshaw. It might sound more like the name of a Dickens character, but scrimshaw is in fact "1. the art of carving bones or sea shells. 2. an article made in this way". Items of scrimshaw are not the ornate products of skilled artisans, though. No, scrimshaw is one of the ways in which sailors once passed the time on long sea voyages (I have no idea what the others were). It's the maritime equivalent of whittling. As well as being quite possibly my favourite word in the English language, scrimshaw provides a perfect example of what Antiques Roadshow does best. The programme uses objects to connect us to moments from the past. So a crudely carved whale bone evokes salt air, the cries of seagulls and a sailor leaning on the prow of an old whaling vessel after a hard day at sea. These are the kinds of stories the show's experts regularly tease out, Bagpuss-like, from the artefacts that are placed in front of them. Yes, these connections to past moments, real or imagined, are what Antiques Roadshow is all about. That, and cold, hard cash… "How much is it worth?!" It's the question etched across many a punter's expectant face as a Roadshow expert regales them with unwanted details of scrollwork and hallmarks and factory histories. And it's the question we're all shouting at our screens too: "How much? How much? How much?" This is fair enough. We have a natural fascination with the discovery of secret treasure. We watch the show for those huge moments, where a tarnished piece of metal is revealed to be an ancient relic, or a painting discovered in an attic is identified as £2 million-worth of early Constable. The moments when the excited expert finally shows his hand, drawing gasps from the onlookers, and rendering the owner speechless. But, just like the items, these moments are valuable because they are so rare. I remember one occasion in particular very fondly. A hopeful member of the public placed a garish piece of pottery in front of an expert, who responded with a dryness bordering on the arid, "Ah, someone's been lucky at the funfair!" Now that's as priceless a gem as anyone will ever bring on the show. Like this? Share it. Facebook Twitter Google Tumblr Pinterest Blogger Reddit VKontakt Print Email

Passive smoking raises the risk of periodontal disease for nonsmoking men by about 3.1 to 3.6 times, compared with men in smoke-free environments, according to a survey by Japanese researchers.
A research team led by the National Cancer Center and Tokyo Medical and Dental University conducted follow-up dental checkups between 2005 and 2006 for 1,164 people, who lived in Akita Prefecture, in 1990 and were then aged between 40 and 59.
The survey found that 11 out of 30 male nonsmokers exposed to secondhand smoke at home had severe periodontal disease. The proportion was about 3.1 times higher than that of nonsmokers with no passive smoking exposure.
Of 37 male nonsmokers exposed to cigarette smoke at home, at work and in other places, 13 had severe periodontal disease. The risk was about 3.6 times higher than that of male nonsmokers with no such passive smoking exposure.
The relationship between women's smoking habits and periodontal disease was unclear, according to the team.
Smokers are likely to suffer from periodontal disease as smoking promotes the growth of periodontal bacteria and weakens immunity, according to Tokyo Medical and Dental University Associate Prof. Masayuki Ueno, a member of the research team.
The survey showed that passive smoking poses a similar risk to that of smoking, Ueno said.

DescriptionUntil the late 1990s, only one species of minke whale was believed to exist, the common minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata). However, in recent years, researchers have determined that enough scientific evidence exists to recognize two separate species. The Antarctic minke whale (Balaenoptera bonaerensis) is found in southern hemisphere waters, where a dwarf subspecies of the common minke whale also exists. The large form of the common minke whale is found in the North Atlantic Ocean and the North Pacific Ocean. Minke whales are identified by a narrow, pointed rostrum (snout) and black or dark gray coloring on the back with gray shading extending up each side in front of and below the dorsal fin. Common minke whales have a white band on both pectoral flippers. The dwarf subspecies of the common minke whale can also be distinguished from the Antarctic minke whale because it is much smaller. Minke whales are very difficult to see in the ocean because they have a low or nonexistent blow or spout when they surface, they surface for a very brief amount of time, and they are usually found alone. Because of these reasons, sound is especially useful for studying these animals. Common minke whales in the North Atlantic, North Pacific, and the dwarf subspecies in the Antarctic each produce different vocalizations. Common minke whales found in the North Atlantic produce repetitive, low-frequency (100-500 Hz) pulse trains that may consist of either grunt-like pulses or thump-like pulses. The grunts are between 165 to 320 msec long with most energy between 80 and 140 Hz. The thumps are between 100 and 200 Hz, lasting 50-70 msec. Pulse trains last 40-60 seconds and are repeated every 6-14 minutes in bouts lasting several hours. Common minke whales in the North Pacific produce a sound called the "boing." This sound had been recorded for many years, but it wasn't until very recently that it was determined that minke whales were producing it. It consists of a brief pulse at 1.3 kHz, followed by a call at 1.4 kHz that changes frequency slightly over its 2.5 sec duration. The dwarf form of the common minke whale produces a complex and stereotyped vocalization called the "star-wars" vocalization. It spans a wide frequency range from 50 Hz to 9.4 kHz and is composed of distinct and repeated components. The vocalization is repeated at very consistent intervals that can vary from 1-2 seconds to 3-4 minutes. It is quite possible that with further research, scientists will determine that the Antarctic minke whale makes unique vocalizations too!

New Sexual Assault Guidelines - One College Ahead of the Curve
GAINESVILLE - New federal guidelines have been announced to help with reporting sexual assault on college campuses and one school is ahead of the curve.
Santa Fe College has expanded its Title IX outreach that protects women on campus from sexual harassment and sexual assault.
The college has their own website to help with reporting and counselors says the awareness campaigns are only going to continue.
Lara Zwilling, Santa Fe College: "there's a lot of legislation coming up especially with the Violence Against Women's Act thats going to require that any person who reports they have been sexually assaulted on campus or off campus...even if they don't want we are going to provide them whatever resources links whatever they need to help them heal."
The new guidelines also suggest taking surveys of students to report abuse anonymously...something the Government hopes to make a requirement by 2016.

2013 National Conference on Ending Family and Youth Homelessness
Due to the record-breaking number of registrations, we have been forced to close registration early.
Please see the Registration Rates page for further details.
Times are still tough! The economic downturn swept through this country and upended many lives, pushing families into homelessness and leaving many others at the brink. Poverty among children and youth remains near the highest level since 1993. While a recovery may be underway for many, for the poorest and most vulnerable American families there is much to be done.
In the face of all this, people around the country working on family and youth homelessness never gave up. In fact, the community has worked harder and smarter; changing many things for the better in spite of the unhealthy economic environment. We brought about the enormous success of the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP), which helped over a million people escape or avoid homelessness. We saw levels of homelessness in communities that implemented efficient, evidence-based interventions for families remain relatively low or even decline through the recession and its uneasy recovery.
Big things are happening. New tools are in place. There are new ways of thinking about and addressing the problem. And the need for effectiveness couldn't be greater. The National Alliance to End Homelessness invites everyone involved to come together in Seattle in February, to be part of the 2013 National Conference on Ending Family and Youth Homelessness, to learn, to share, and to encourage each other to take the next steps.
At the conference, participants can learn about the best solutions for the large and small problems we all face. Among the topics:
- Implementing HEARTH – HUD and other federal agencies will be well represented, and participants will be able to delve into the details of the new regulations and the first NOFA that fully implements the HEARTH Act.
- Replacing HPRP – This highly successful one-time program has ended, but communities have found all kinds of ways to continue providing the rapid re-housing and prevention services that HPRP introduced or expanded, and that have proven to be exactly what most homeless or near-homeless families need.
- Using mainstream programs – While HUD funds have been cut in the past two years, large mainstream antipoverty programs have maintained their federal funding. Some communities have found programs like TANF and Child Welfare to be an excellent fit for the rapid re-housing model, and have reduced family homelessness as a result.
- New initiatives from the federal government – With the election over, there will be new people in policymaking jobs in both the Administration and Congress, and new initiatives will be rolling out.
- A new vision for ending youth homelessness – the Alliance, along with partners at the national, state, and local levels, is pulling together the pieces of an effective, systemic approach to ending youth homelessness that can be put to work in community after community.
- The best work from leading communities – The importance of efficiency and cost-effectiveness has never been higher. Communities across the country are finding ways to re-house the largest possible number of families and youth with the resources they have available.
Together we have the expertise and knowledge to end family and youth homelessness. If we are to reconnect families and youth to housing, we must mobilize and coordinate responses among agencies, communities, policymakers and advocates. We must stand with homeless families, youth and others to maximize opportunities to combat homelessness and build a country where everyone has a place to call home.
We hope you will join us in Seattle, to move this mission forward.

covariant derivative of metric tensor

(note that I have implicitely used the symmetry of g and the two last indices of the Christoffel symbols - iow: I have not bothered on the exact position of the indices).
If "why?" was meant in the sense of "what is the physical meaning?": I dunno at the moment. It would probably be something like that relations (scalar products) between vectors remain unchanged under parallel transport.

As Atheist said, insisting that the connection be metric compatible does indeed mean that the length of vectors is unchanged under parallel transport with respect to the connection. In other words, it respects the inner product.

Doesn't inner product involve magnitudes and angle? Is the term 'conformal'?
The inner product is really a map that takes a vector and a dual vector and spits out a number (or whatever your field is). Generally, you can think of it as a generalisation of the dot product. You can use the inner product to define what you mean by the angle between vectors. I don't think this concept is always useful.
A conformal transformation on (pseudo-)Riemannian manifold is a diffeomorphism which preserves the metric up to a scale.
More precisely,
Let be a diffeomorphism. Then is said to be a conformal transformation iff
where is a function of
Now, conformal transformation on "stretch" they don't "twist". That is they do not preserve lengths but preserve angles (as defined via the inner product/metric).

There are some notes via my website that may also be useful, but I know there are some typos. Really the only way to learn differential geometry is to do differential geometry. Most physics books on general relativity are poor and lack the mathematical background needed.

As the Lorentz transformations are in fact linear infinitesimal diffeomorphisms in hindsight it is not surprising that tensor objects under Lorentz transformations are tensors in the general sense.

' for covariant indices and opposite that for contravariant indices.
this is just the general transformation law or tensors, although when mathematicians say that something is a tensor I believe it means that "something is linear with respect to more than 1 argument, hence why the dot product is a tensor mathematically.

Posted 15 December 2007 - 01:07 PM
In geometry, it is more useful to think of tensors as objects who's components transform in a certain way under diffeomorphisms (or maybe some subgroup of the diffeomorphism group). There is no need for me to be any more specific here as a quick google search will show you the details.
The point here is that the components of the tensor transform as to compensate for how the basis changes leaving the entire object invariant. (From this point of view tensors are just scalars on a larger space!) I think this fact is not stressed enough in physics texts.

An antisymmetric part would be more like a symplectic form. As you know is antisymmetric and you can use this as part of a symplectic form. I see no reason why you could not consider the object . Where is the symplectic two form. (You may want some factors in there etc... ). I would suggest starting with a symplectic form as it is non-degenerate. Maybe it has been done already?
What you could do is start from a manifold and build the symplectic manifold . In local Darboux coordinates we have . Then in these local coordinates you can build and then start asking about it properties. One natural question is if there exists a connection which preserves this. It would be a "mix" of the Levi-Civita and Fedosov connections some how. (If it exists).
Another extension is super Riemannian geometry. The metric for the odd part is antisymmetric (really it is all supersymmetric).

The PokerStars.net European Poker Tour Prague Main Event Day 3 has now been done and dusted, with the 161 players that took their seats at the tables having now been shrunk down to the remaining 55 players.
They were all looking to make it at least to the pay structure, with the top 128 doing so. The player that emerged with the chip lead at the end of the day was Ramzi Jelassi, as he bagged up a total of 1.238,000.
He achieved his position at the top after winning a massive pot right near the end of the day, when up against Sirzat Hissou. Hissou pushed his entire remaining stack of 330k into the middle after seeing a flop of 4h-3d-5h, and was holding pocket queens. However, Jelassi had the pocket aces and quickly made the call. The 8s and 9h fell on the turn and river giving Jelassi the win and propelling his chip count to more than one million.
The Bubble!
There had to be players leaving on Day 3 without any kind of pay off, with PokerStars Team Pro Pier Fabretti amongst them. Others to go out with nothing were Lardo Leheste, Kent Lundmark, Mike Watson and Ari Engel.
The unfortunate player to finish just one spot short of the money was Rasmus Agerskov who finished in 129th place after running his Ah-8h into the pocket kings of Andreas Berggren and coming off second best. This meant that everybody else left in the event was now guaranteed at the very least a €8,000 payout.
Once that bubble was burst, the inevitable flurry of eliminations came, with notables such as Sergey Baranov, Bertrand Grospellier, Shannon Shorr, Marc-Andre Ladouceur and the PokerStars Team Pro Juan Manuel Pastor.
Some of the bigger names that are still involved in the event come Day 4 are Johnny Lodden, Todd Terry, Chris Brammer, Roger Hairebedien and the ever popular Roberto Romanello. Each of these players will be hoping to move further up the pay structure and hope to be in the final 24 come the end of the day.
The Current Top Ten!
Ramzi Jelassi – 1,238,000
Sotirios Koutoupas – 1,049,000
Chris Brammer – 1,021,000
Jeff Sarwer – 963,000
Dany Parlates – 950,000
Mark Herm – 916,000
Mads Arnot – 895,000
Martin Hanowski – 893,000
Andreas Berggren – 845,000
Aleh Plauski – 807,000
It all starts again today at 12pm local time with Day 4 playing the remaining 55 players down to the last 24. So make sure you come back and get an update on how things worked out, who is heading the pack and who couldn't quite make it through.

Russian wins 20th Air Guitar World Championship
The Finnish city of Oulu hosted the Air Guitar World Championships grand finale on Friday.
The competition, which this year celebrated its 20th anniversary, drew thousands of spectators to watch the finalists battle it out on stage with their renditions of selected songs. Russian competitor Kareel "Your Daddy" Blumenkrants took the top prize - a handmade electric guitar.

I was wrong and yes, I admit it. Maybe it wasn't so much being wrong as it was wishful thinking.
The big part of my Twins offseason blueprint was to bring in the services of Zach Greinke. After the events of this weekend that will not be part of the plan for the 2011 Twins.
Greinke has been traded from the Kansas City Royals, a fellow AL Central team, to the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers emptied their farm system to complete this trade to set-up an all-or-nothing attitude for the 2011 season. Both Prince Fielder and Rickie Weeks are scheduled to become free agents at the end of next season so the time is "now"for the Brew Crew.
There are going to be some definite impacts on the Twins in what I like to call the "Zach Greinke Effect."
Carl Pavano
One of the first effects of the Greinke trade is that Doug Melvin has said that the Brew Crew is no longer interested in Carl Pavano. The Brewers had yet to make an offer to Pavano but that still means that there is one less team fighting with the Twins for the Pavano's right arm. Jon Morosi of Fox Sports wrote that it is "more likely than ever that Carl Pavano will re-sign with the Minnesota Twins."
AL Central (Present Day)
Another easy to see effect of the Greinke's exodus from KC is the fact that the Twins won't face him as many times in the season. With the Royals being in the AL Central the Twins had to counter Greinke on four occasions last season. The Twins seemed to have Greinke's number last season as he finished the year with an 0-4 record against them with an 8.18 ERA. He will be playing on the Twins National League "rival" so the Twins could face Greinke a couple of times in Interleague play. Out of all of the AL Central teams Greinke has had the worst ERA (4.90) when he has gone against the Twins. This has led him to a (3-8) overall record in decisions against the Twins. With how well the Twins have done against Greinke it might actually be a negative that Greinke is out of the division.
AL Central (Future)
It is hard to judge a trade the day after it happens. The players that the Royals got in exchange for Greinke could end up being duds. On the other hand all of these players could live up to their potential and make the Royals a considerable threat in the very near future. According to the 2010 Baseball America Prospect Rankings for the Brewers the Royals just got the #1 (Alcides Escobar), #8 (Lorenzo Cain), #9 (Jake Odorizzi), and "Best Fastball" (Jeremy Jeffress) in the Milwaukee organization. Phil Rodgers of the Chicago Tribune even claimed that the Royals might be able to pull off a "Twins-like run" in the AL Central because of the talent they received in this trade.
Was Zach Greinke ever going to be a member of the Minnesota Twins? No.
The Royals saw no reason to trade him in the division and this make sense. They didn't want to have to face Greinke on a more consistent basis. From the sounds of it the Twins tried to get involved with the Royals but they didn't want anything to do with the Twins. Another factor might have been that the Twins weren't going to put together a package as good as the one that Brewers put together. The Twins weren't going to part ways with their number one prospect, Kyle Gibson. The Brewers were able to offer their number one prospect and that was most likely a deciding factor.
The pressure is on the Royals now to develop this young talent and put a winning product on the field. And that's something that they haven't been able to do for quite some time.

A border collie named Chaser recently broke the world's record for largest human vocabulary understood by a dog. According to a Wofford College announcement, Chaser can "comprehend the names of more than 1,000 objects."
SEE ALSO: Dogs Dumbed Down by Domestication
A report by New Scientist clarifies that Chaser was taught the names of 1022 objects. That report also mentions she can categorize the items based on function and shape, putting her on near equal intellectual footing for these skills with 3-year-old human children.
(Chaser and John Pilley; Credit: Wofford College)
Chaser well outpaced the prior record holder, another border collie named "Rico," who learned 200 words. According to this video, Chaser also understands the basic concepts behind nouns and verbs, and can make appropriate matches between the two.
Chaser essentially graduated from a three-year training program at Wofford College conducted by psychologists Alliston Reid and John Pilley. During that time, the border collie was introduced to the names of 1022 toys. As part of her regime, the collie was asked to fetch certain toys based on their names alone.
SEE ALSO: Dog Growls Contain Specific Information
During one part of the experiment, a barrier was placed between the researchers and the objects, likely to help ensure that no visual cues were directing Chaser to the requested toys.
In another test, the toys were placed in a different room to further demonstrate how the words alone were directing the dog to the right toys. Reid says that out of 838 such tests over the 3-year period, Chaser never got less than 18 out of 20 right. A related study was published in the November issue of Behavioural Processes.
Adam Mikloski, founder of the Family Dog Project, told New Scientist: "The experimenters did a lot of controls to exclude alternative explanations, although from my experience the results are simply too good. This study shows that this dog has good skills for comprehension but the production side of communication is missing."
SEE ALSO: Dogs Automatically Imitate People
While conversations with dogs may still be limited, Chaser joins an elite group of animals with very impressive word and memorization skills. For example, in 1995 a budgerigar named Puck was credited by Guinness World Records as having the largest vocabulary of any bird, at 1,728 words.

I was at a conference yesterday for women who are small business owners. It was called Spark & Hustle, and it was fantastic. One of my favorite things was that not a single moment was wasted having that annoying conversation about "work/life balance."

... Husband 101 ...
Things all husbands should know…yet few actually do.
Carbs are a gateway drug!
For the better part of my adult life, my diet has consisted of rice, bread, pasta and cheese. If it (or a majority of its ingredients) didn't come from a can or a box, I likely didn't eat it. Vegetables didn't exist in my diet unless they were cooked as part of a casserole, and only then if I couldn't see/taste/identify them. I was not the pillar of health.
Despite my ignoramus level stupid eating habits, my blood pressure, cholesterol, etc were fine. It seemed that aside from being about 100 pounds overweight, I was healthy (and as big as) a horse. That all changed 3 weeks ago.

New Years Resolutions as a Couple
It's that time of year again! Time to reflect on where your life has taken you over the past 12 months, and where you want it to take you over the next 12. Many people take this time to come up with New Year's Resolutions that will help them change the course of their life for next year. Whatever it is, it will help if you and your spouse work together on your resolutions.
Surviving the Holidays with your Spouse – Part 4 – the 'Afterparty'
Alright, the gifts are purchased, wrapped, presented, and unwrapped. The last people have left the last shindig, and the kids are finally asleep in bed. Phew! I know your first instinct is to turn into a TV or computer zombie and let the peace of the END of the Holidays wash over you before the New Year celebrations kick in – but I think that there is one more little 'party' you need to attend. The "just me and my spouse" party.
Surviving the Holidays with your Wife – Part 3 – Events
Whether it's the employer's Holiday Function, a Latke Party, Cookie Party, or Family Function, danger can lurk anywhere. Not that the December Holidays should sound too much like October, but sometimes ghosts and ghouls would be a nice reprieve from an eternal evening with the in-laws. This is where you and your wife need to have a plan and work together.

On Autism
Since Amanda and I spent two GH-days waxing poetic about the benefits of vaccination, I thought it was appropriate to dedicate a follow-up article to autism. Of course, this not because autism is related to vaccinations, but because it isn't.
Does Timing Affect Saving Your Child and the World?
On Monday, when the first article about vaccinations was published, there was a great deal of conversation on our respective Facebook pages, mostly surrounding the issue of the timing of vaccinations, and the potential risks of offering too many vaccinations at one time. A good deal of the information about why physicians, parents, and public health officials might want to consider adjusting the timing of vaccines during infancy came from Denise Shepler, RN BSN. Denise has four years of experience in maternal/neonatal nursing. With her permission, I have summarized her thoughts here.
Save Your Child, Save The World. Part 2: Public Health
Today, we want to address how vaccines work as a public health measure; in other words, keeping us all healthy as a community, country, and world population.

Maybe you should get checked out, by more than just women…
I don't always eat well and my exercise regimen is about as impressive as a Dan Brown novel but I will contend that I have a better health view than most of you. Mostly because I visit a doctor for a check up twice a year. My boss once called me a morbid bastard when I told him I […]

Why Your Wife Wants You to go Shopping With Her
Have you ever wondered why women want their husbands to go shopping with them?
Love is in the Leftovers
A good gauge in which to measure the strength of a relationship is not only one's tolerance for their spouse's cooking.

Ann's Cheesy Leftover Ham and Potato Soup This recipe is perfect for leftover ham and makes a delicious, hearty meal in itself. Great for cold and/or rainy days, cuddling with your wife by the fire (and it doesn't have any garlic in it, so your breath should remain reasonably safe too!). You can thank me […]
Lighten up, it's just pregnancy!

This is part one of a series showing how to get a Raspberry Pi working as a great little unified downloader-appliance. The aim is to get a system that will provide an easy way of monitoring a collection of TV series for new or old episodes using Sick Beard, grab new movies using Couch Potato, and download them all seamlessly using SABnzbd. The end-result will be a completely web-based easy-to-use appliance!
This won't be for the uninitiated though. A level of knowledge of both basic networking, and working with linux will be required. If you can't connect to the Pi using PuTTY, or change directories in a Linux CLI, you might need some help elsewhere first.
In this short initial part, we'll just be getting Pi installed and up to date…
Getting RaspberryPi going
First, some pre-requisites to download:
- The RaspberryPi 'Raspbian Wheezy' Debian image
- MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition
- Roadkil's DiskImage 1.6
- PuTTY SSH client
Preparing the SD Card
I have a Windows laptop with a built-in SD-card reader, so that made things a bit simpler.
First I used MiniTool, which allowed me to delete all existing partitions from the SD card and rebuilt the MBR. That resolved an issue whereby the next step was failing with an "unwritable" error.
Next I used DiskImage to copy the Raspbian image to the SD card. (You can also use this tool to backup the SD card whenever you like).
First Boot
I'm going to do everything remotely using PuTTY to connect over SSH, but you can continue with a keyboard directly attached too. Means you can't copy'n'paste anything though!
Normally you would change the password when prompted to by 'raspi-config', but I'm going to assume we're doing everything over an SSH connection, and maybe even scripted, so with as little GUI intervention as possible.
First, change the password for the user 'pi'. You might end up making it accessible over the internet (accidentally or on purpose) and the default password would kind of leave things a bit open:
sudo passwd pi
Some Basic Maintenance
First, let's remove all the graphical packages that we're not going to be needing, which we'll really need if we're on a dinky little 2Gb sdcard. After this, there should be over 500Mb free space.
sudo apt-get -y purge gnome-icon-theme gnome-themes-standard lxappearance \ lxde-common lxinput lxpanel lxpolkit lxrandr lxsession-edit lxshortcut lxtask \ lxterminal scratch xserver-common sudo apt-get -y autoremove sudo apt-get -y autoclean
Next, make sure Raspbian is up to date (select 'No' to replace any files):
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -y upgrade
To update the firmware we'll use rpi-update, and for that we need Git. So grab that next:
sudo apt-get -y install git
Next, get rpi-update, and then run it:
git clone git://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update.git Cloning into 'rpi-update'... remote: Counting objects: 91, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (73/73), done. remote: Total 91 (delta 30), reused 78 (delta 17) Receiving objects: 100% (91/91), 13.44 KiB, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (30/30), done.
cd rpi-update sudo ./rpi-update Raspberry Pi firmware updater by Hexxeh, enhanced by AndrewS Performing self-update Autodetecting memory split Using ARM/GPU memory split of 192MB/64MB We're running for the first time Setting up firmware (this will take a few minutes) Using HardFP libraries If no errors appeared, your firmware was successfully setup A reboot is needed to activate the new firmware
The last thing we need to do is expand the space to fill the SD card, so fire up the configuration tool again, and select "expand_rootfs":
sudo raspi-config
And when it's done, accept the offer to reboot.
After the reboot, the system will be all up to date and ready for whatever you want to use it for.

Good catch DRM. I didn't even think about that possibility.
And yes, the RIA guns ship with ACT mags. Most seem to work well, but I've heard of a few problems with them.
If "sling-shotting" the rounds worked, then it should function well with actual live fire. Take a trip to the range and give it a good workout. If this works out well, then you're good to go. If it has problems, then that's the time to call customer service. Good luck!
I switched my mags to wilsons and havent had an isue since. My acts worked good for ball ammo though.
You should not be easing your slide forward to chamber a round from the magazine. Just in case you are doing that.
Your slide should go forward full force to strip the top cartridge out of the magazine.
That having been said - your extractor is most likely tensioned a bit too tight.
I had a similar problem with my Springfield. Worked out with time and Wilson mags.
As you try different ammo types - IF some brands of hollow points have trouble feeding then try a TRIPP Research Cobra Mag.
They position the bullet nose of the top cartridge in the magazine slightly higher and that slight angle difference seems to help some brands of hollow-points feed/chamber more effortlessly.
See this photo below.
Tripp CobraMag side by side comparison to a typical 1911 magazine.
In the first set of pics on the left & looking down the bore from the muzzle you can see how the Cobra Mag nose is slightly higher up to hit the feed ramp and enter barrel chamber.
The second set of pictures is pretty obvious AKA looking into the ejection port the top cartridge on the right is positioned slightly higher up.
Bought some Chip Mccormick Custom magazines going to see if this helps feed better than the ACT mag.
I'll second QKShooter on the Cobra (Tripp) mags...
Virgil Tripp is a VERY smart guy. For those who don't know, Virgil Tripp, Sandy Strayer and Chip McCormick (2-Time World Speed Shooting Champion) pioneered the STI 2011 pistols. :35:
Chip Magazines work like a dream i can slowly slide the slide foward and do the sling shot method and both work like a charm. Might invest in a third magazine sometime after christmas.

WinStar Farm
WinStar Farm is an American Thoroughbred horse breeding and racing farm near Versailles, Kentucky. Formerly known as Prestonwood Farm, it was owned by Houston, Texas oilmen Jack, Art, and J. R. Preston whose better known horses included Da Hoss and Victory Gallop.
In 2000, Kenny Troutt and Bill Casner, both with long-standing interests in horses came together to purchase Prestonwood, adding to its area, and renaming it WinStar Farm. Included in the purchase were the stallions Kris S. and Distorted Humor. Kris S. died in 2002 at the age of 25 after siring five Breeder's Cup winners and three Eclipse Award winners whose combined career earnings were in excess of $50,000,000.[citation needed] He is buried at WinStar, just outside the entrance to the stallion barn.
Trainer W. Elliott Walden is vice president of racing and bloodstock services for WinStar Farm.
Distorted Humor stands across the aisle in the WinStar stallion barn from the 2000 Horse of the Year, the 2005 leading freshman sire and the two-time Breeders' Cup Classic winner (2000 and 2001), Tiznow. Next to Tiznow is the winner of the 2004 Breeder's Cup Sprint, Speightstown. Down the row is the 1998 Belmont Stakes winner and the 1999 U.S. Champion Older Male Horse, Victory Gallop. Joining them in 2006 was the homebred Bluegrass Cat, winner of the Remsen Stakes as a two-year-old and the Haskell Invitational Handicap at three. In 2007, Distorted Humor's son, Sharp Humor came to stand at WinStar. Five of Distorted Humor's sons: Flower Alley, Da Stoops, It's No Joke, Comedy Show and Sharp Humor will stand their first year for the 2007 breeding season. Well Armed, a WinStar Farm owned horse, won the 2009 Dubai World Cup by a record 14 lengths.[1]
WinStar is a finalist for the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Breeder for 2008.
In 2010 WinStar got their first Derby win with Super Saver.
