Many Variable Advanced Calculus
by Kenneth Kuttler
Number of pages: 375
This book is directed to people who have a good understanding of the concepts of one variable calculus including the notions of limit of a sequence and completeness of R. It develops multivariable advanced calculus. In order to do multivariable calculus correctly, you must first understand some linear algebra. Therefore, a condensed course in linear algebra is presented first, emphasizing those topics in linear algebra which are useful in analysis, not those topics which are primarily dependent on row operations. Many topics could be presented in greater generality than I have chosen to do. I have also attempted to feature calculus, not topology. This means I introduce the topology as it is needed rather than using the possibly more efficient practice of placing it right at the beginning in more generality than will be needed. I think it might make the topological concepts more memorable by linking them in this way to other concepts.

On Saturday, April 14th, the Bucs played one of its biggest rivals the past couple of years in the St. Edward's Hilltoppers. Whoever was to win this game, would secure the #1 seed in the Div. B playoffs and would also get a bye into the Championship game on Sunday, April 29th at SMU.
The game, the last home game for seniors Ryan Brown, Jason Jones, Travis Nelson, Chris Kaufmann, Ian Daulton and Guillo Machado, started out with both teams out of sync.
The Bucs scored first, followed shortly after by a second goal that was immediately called off on a stick check because of an illegal stick. In a game that was penalty laden, both teams racked up penalty minutes, including over 10 minutes of man-down for SU in the first half alone with 6 of that being for illegal sticks. SU also had the opportunity for 12 man-up opportunities in the game, and again was dismal in its execution.
Somewhere in between, some lacrosse was played on both sides.
The only goal of the day for St.Ed's came on one of the 3 minute non-releasable man-ups they had in the second quarter off a shot that was screened from the goalie.
By the end of the half, SU led 2-1. The third quarter started out much as the first half went, with both teams playing in transition and sloppy, before SU was able to get a couple of goals and really start finding open guys and pushing the pace. The Bucs scored several more times in the 4th to seal the victory as both teams knew they would more than likely see each other again in a couple of weeks. This time, however, would be for the Conference Championship.
Irish, Jones, and Wersonske all played solid games, as did our LSM's, Jake, Guillo, and Fern. Jake got the game ball for scoring his first ever goal after a nifty pick up and quick move to the goal to really get Southwestern going in the third. The defense, which has been stellar all year, again played very well. All our middies had solid games, especially as the game inched closer to being over, with a lot of good things coming out of extensive playing for many players. Titus Hawthorne showed he needs to be on the field more, as did Chase Pipken. All in all, everyone contributed to the win, in preparation for a chance to defend our title at SMU.
We appreciate all the fans for making it out to the games this year, and hope you will join us for the trip to SMU.
The Bucs will have to play much better in two weeks if they want a chance at winning their third consecutive Conference Championship. St. Ed's is a solid team with some great players that never quit.

ECCENTRIC EDDY CURRENT SEPARATOR (SFME-29 Type)
FELEMAMG has designed the new SFME-29 eddy current separator, combining the extraordinary efficiency of SFM-29 concentric rotor and the long service life of eccentric shell.
Eddy current separators are ideal for recovery of steel, copper, brass, etc. in breaker's yards, household large electrical equipment, municipal waste plants, glass recycling plants, plastic plants, treatment of aluminum slag, etc.
The dividing element consists of a magnetic rotor with a diameter of 290 mm, provided with permanent magnets of Neodymium and of high magnetic power. The high frequency magnetic field, induces Foucault currents to conductor metallic parts. These parts create a magnetic field opposed to that of the rotor. The result is a repelling power on the metallic parts and the rest of the elements follow their ordinary trajectory.
The eccentric shell provides effective protection against iron particles between the rotor and the conveyor belt. The particles will come off automatically on the bottom of the shell.
This metal separator should be fed from a vibrating feeder to distribute the material over the conveyor belt. When the material reaches the discharging area -location of the magnetic drum- metallic non ferrous pieces are "thrown" forward, overpass the divider and are collected at the front. Lastly, non metallic pieces follow normal trajectory of the belt from where they are discharged.

Mild weekend weather forecast as Valley cleans up after storm
This weekend, the Valley can expect the calm after the storm.
Sunny days in the mid-70s Saturday and Sunday after some brief storms Friday will be a sharp contrast to severe thunderstorms and heavy winds which caused havoc throughout the area Wednesday.
West Penn Power was still reporting late Thursday that a handful of outages were still lingering in Belle Vernon and Fallowfield Township.
Area residents were cleaning up Thursday from storm damage the evening before.
The heaviest of the storms hit the Valley during a one-hour period shortly before 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Heavy winds and lightning combined to do the most damage.
There were various trees downed during the storm, such as the one that fell on Weaver Street in Donora, bringing with it live electric wires.
Downed trees caused road blockages in various locations within Fallowfield Township, North Charleroi, Carroll Township and Monessen.
Wires were downed in Elizabeth Township.
Flash flooding was reported by Monessen Elementary Center. 6:25 p.m.
Lightning also caused damage, such as the bolt that struck a home at 725 Second St. in Monessen.

The New York Yankees lived up to their nickname hitting five home runs in the 6-4 win over the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium.
They aren't called the Bronx Bombers for nothing hitting five solo shots including back-to-back jacks by Curtis Granderson and Russell Martin. Nick Swisher started things off in the top of the first with the initial blast off of Red Sox starter Franklin Morales. Than the back-to-back right field homers by Granderson and Martin in the second.
Boston would go ahead in the third, after a throwing error by Phil Hughes allowed Scott Podsednik to reach base and a run to score, Dustin Pedroia would hit a three run home run to give the Red Sox the 4-3 lead.
Derek Jeter, who seems to reach a milestone practically everyday, hit his 250th career home run making it number 10 on the season. Jeter is the 10th Yankee this season to hit double figures in home runs, which ties the franchise record with the 1998 team.
Swisher would hit his second homer of the game, one from each side of the plate, in the bottom of the seventh extending the Yankees lead to 6-4. Hughes, except for the third inning when he gave up all the runs, had six innings of two hit shut out ball. Phil's final line was seven innings, four runs on four hits with four strikeouts and one walk. Overall Hughes was tremendous sporting his best change-up of the year.
Boston's Morales went 5 1/3 innings and gave up five runs on six hits, including four home runs, three strike outs and one walk.
David Robertson pitched a scoreless eighth and Rafael Soriano would pick up his 30th save of the season in a one-two-three ninth.
Bomber Wounded
Mark Teixeira was scratched from the opening line up due to left wrist inflammation and is listed as day-to-day.
Alex Rodriguez was seen throwing a football again around the Stadium.
Andy Pettitte was seen in the outfield under the watchful eye of pitching coach Larry Rothschild throwing on flat ground.

Another Rocker Steps up to Help the Jersey Shore Recover
Subscribe to 105.7 The Hawk on
This time it's a guy from across the pond.
Well, actually, Mick Fleetwood may originally be from Cornwall, England, but he's been living in the U.S. since the 70's and became a U.S. citizen in L.A. in 2006.
He's lending his support to the non-profit organization from Red Bank called RebuildRecover, which works "directly with communities in need to find the perfect fit for the right volunteers and resources to distribute to them appropriately."
As Mick says:
"We're all in this together, for the long haul … We are restoring, rebuilding and recovering the communities that are so dear to our hearts by getting donations directly to those in need."
He added that 100 percent of the donations will go to aiding those suffering along the Jersey shore.
Fleetwood Mac's drummer is expected to reunite with the other band members for new music and a tour next year.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My son and some other boys were caught committing an act of vandalism at our neighborhood pool. The Board of directors has decided not to file criminal charges, as long as the boys pay for the damage, complete supervised community service, receive counseling from the local police, and submit a letter of apology. All of the parents agreed with the board's decision and the boys must appear before the board during a meeting on May 1. The meeting notes, including the names of those attending, are published and sent to the homeowners in the neighborhood. Since they are all underage, can we ask not to have the boy's, or our, names published? Additionally, can we request a security camera photo of our son be removed from the neighborhood website?
You can ask whatever you want. The HOA guidelines will control here.

Liaison Capitol Hill DC-a Joie de Vivre Hotel
415 New Jersey Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC
0.4 mi from
Either the hotel or this booking service gave misleading info. Internet was listed along with TV, sofa, etc., as included. But then the hotel said internet was $14.95/day. They eventually agreed to not charge me for it.
We enjoyed our stay at the Washington court hotel after the liaison did not have a room for us. We arrived at the liaison at 12 am hoping to get into our room quickly and get some rest. We waited in line for at least 30 minutes to check in, as other guests appeared to be having issues with check in. After finally reaching the check in desk, we were told that the room we had reserved was not available. The only available room had no bed, just a pull out couch that could only sleep one person. This situation was the same for another 5-6 parties attempting to check in after us. We were given the option of staying at another hotel down the street and switching back to the liaison for the second night of our stay. We decided to cancel our liaison reservation and stay at the other hotel for both nights. The entire situation was handled in a very unprofessional manor, adding stress and confusion to what we hoped to be a relaxing weekend.
They didn't let us into our hotel room until very late in the day we arrived due to slow housekeeping service. Upon checkout, we realized we had forgotten a few items in the closet. I called the front desk to tell them of the issue and they said they would take care of it, but when I showed up a few hours later to grab my bags from the coat room and go to the airport, they had no record of me having called and couldn't locate our items left in the closet. One bellman went out of his way to help out and was able to find some but not all of our clothes.
Pool not open because they didn't get the chemicals test early enough before the open time , act not working , room not clean, no tub , can't check in until 4 pm
The location was great, good value for the room however parking was an additional $54/night. Try out Art and Soul restaurant, delicious! Parking. But in DC I guess it's standard...
Everything was nice. Great location. Fantastically comfortable bed. Slept like a baby Parking $48. My only complaint :(
the room was perfect had to pay for parking internet and food I i didn't like the customer service the elevator was not working my room was floor 8 even though i tried to connect the internet and pay it did not work when i talked to to the reception did not help they asked me to bring my laptop and phone down stairs
- Great location. - Friendly staff. - Gym doesn't seem to be well maintained. - Noisy.
The rooftop pool cannot be beat. It is a beautiful space with cabana and plenty of seating. The room was on the 10th floor making the pool and fitness center easily accessible. Within walking distance to the capital and the mall. Hidden fees, and outrageous parking price, poor attitudes of front desk staff, "free coffee" pretty pathetic, coffee maker in the room not ideal. We couldn't take personal food up to pool despite no signs saying so. I felt like a teenager being reprimanded for sneaking candy into a movie theater. Bar at pool does have food, but be prepared to pay high dollar for pretty average food, without a lot of options. Poor communication regarding hotel activities, woke up for yoga class early only to find it must have been canceled without anyone letting us know. Pool was closed at 5 pm, we weren't even allowed to put our feet in because there wasn't a lifeguard. Website clearly says pool open until 10. It overall was fine, nothing miserable, but some of these details led to a less then impressive stay.
The room was a little bit too much in regards to modern art deco. There was no two lamp that was the same. Parking cost $48 overnight,
The location was good. The decor was nice and what you would expect from a 4star hotel. They tried to charge us for umbrellas that were returned to the front desk. When I returned the umbrellas to the front desk, the lady was very rude for no reason. Two of the elevators were out of service and the other two seemed as if they would break soon. It was scary everytime getting into the elevator because it would shake and make a noise. Twice the door didn't close all the way completely, leaving a small crack, and the elevator would not move. I highly doubt I would stay here again because of the lady I dealt with that was rude and tried to charge me for umbrellas that were returned.
I liked the decor and unique style of the hotel. I checked in at night so when we arrived we were able to appreciate the dim lighting and music. There was a lot of activity going on over at the bar/restaurant. People seemed to be enjoying them selves. The room was nice and clean. I liked the products in the bathroom. The bed was comfy and the lighting was modern and unique. It took 20 minutes of standing in a very short line before I was checked in. There was a jug with fruit infused water for guests to enjoy. But there was also an overflowing trash can of plastic cups right next to it. There was only one person assisting customers. When I gave my name and info, the representative had a hard time. I showed her my reservation on my phone. She looked at it for at least 3 minutes and then told me that I need to call Kayak to get my confirmation#. I was confused and asked shouldn't she call them (since I stood in line for so long). Luckily I found what she missed on my reservation and she was able to check me in. Later that evening, we were given the number to a local restaurant that delivers. We ordered food. The next morning there is a receipt for a long distance call on the floor near the door. When I called the front desk about it, the rep said they would talk to their manager. When I checked out that day, I mentioned it and the representative at the desk dismissively said that her boss took care of it. No apology or friendly demeanor to spare I suppose. The carpet in the lobby needed vacuuming. It looked like the day after a party in the lobby.
Excellent Capitol Hill location. Comfortable base for young children on their first tour of the Capital.
Internet, parking, tv hdmi not working, deceiving "city view"
Clean sheets, very comfortable bedding, clean showers and floors. Great location with respect to the national mall. Gym is great. Would definitely recommend. Nothing.
Quiet even though we were on lower floor and overlooked front of building. Great location. Restaurant (breakfast) food just ok.
That staff was very helpful and friendly. Also, the location was great. Very close to the Capitol building. We upgraded to a buffet breakfast, which was lacking and the hot food was cold. Not a good value at $25/ person, but at a hotel, I understand the price, but if the food is cold, then it was a waste of money.
We were traveling with our two daughters and three babies ( all under three). Everyone was very helpful. Everyone tried to assist us and we felt very comfortable. Location is also a plus. No complaints
We upgraded at check-in for an extra $50 which doubled the space. The location is excellent as it's walking distance to several sites. The fitness center is excellent and is included in the price of the room. Lack of parking requires you to valet for $56 a day. If you are somebody that needs a great view you won't find it here.
Very nice amenities and the shower was great! I booked my stay two month prior for a King Bed for one night. When I got there, they said they were sold out of King Bed's and all they had were two doubles. Not the biggest deal, but what is the point of booking a King in advance if that is not what is available? Also, our room did have a musty smell to it when we first got it. After running the air for a bit, it went away.
Spacious room, quiet, clean and well-appointed.
Location Hidden charges. $58 a night to park. Nowhere did I see that when I booked the trip. $8 for a draft beer that should be $3, I get a call from security in the evening waking me up, stating that the policy is to call if the do not disturb sign is out. The do not disturb sign was out, I didn't want to be disturbed. Couldn't go back to sleep. I'm a small business owner, if I treated my customers that way, I would be out of business. I will never give that hotel a dime again.
Walking to distance to good lunch and dinner choices Hotel lobby shop was typical "airport prices" for anything you'd want, making You feel like a fool if you didn't to walk across the street and buy a snack or coffee at 1/3 price.
The room was nice until we looked out the window and found we had a great view of the roof... (sarcasm) Valet constantly begging for tips. Being from Vegas I tip almost excessively however if someone begs for it or nearly has his hand out the entire time it is not coming. It's called a gratuity for a reason. Then when delivering the vehicle no opening the trunk, and doesn't return the seat to where they found it or at least close. Not much effort in valet.
The hotel is located just steps from the Capitol and Library of Congress, and the Capitol South Metro stop. It was a great location, with a good selection of restaurants and cafes within a couple blocks. The hotel provides a great breakfast spread in a building adjacent to the main building, so be aware that you may have to walk a bit to get to breakfast in the morning if you are staying in the main building. Food included: oatmeal, scrambled eggs, sausage, bread/bagels/muffins, fruit (apples/bananas), coffee, tea, and a selection of juices. While I never took part, the hotel also offers a wine hour from 5-6pm in the main building. They also provide free 24-hour tea/coffee/hot chocolate and a selection of sundries in the main building. The bathroom in the Junior Suite was rather small and did not have a window that opened, so it did get a bit stuffy after a hot shower. The television generally worked, but some of the channels would go out every now and then. Wifi required you to log in multiple times a day, which was frustrating.
Absolutely nothing- we showed up and they had a list of 12-15 people who had reservations that they were not going to honor and we were on that list. Everything about that hotel was a nightmare- my family showed up and they told us they weren't going to honor our reservation and there was nothing we could do about it. Appalling. There was a long list of people's names on the list of people who weren't going to get rooms. No attempt was made to contact us ahead of time, no effort on their part. It was an absolutely horrible experience.
Friendly staff Bathroom was a little small
Large room, comfy bed, friendly and accomodating staff-they let us check out late, valet parking until 6 pm the next day even if you check out that day, breakfast was good though the room is crowded so get there early or be prepared to grab something quick small bathroom
Location was great. Staff friendly and helpful. Very Clean. Nice breakfast included. Rooms didn't have adequate plugs. Bathrooms cramped and door didn't close, so no privacy if traveling with anyone.
I love the location, free breakfast and most importantly the service.
They had an excellent gym. The staff was helpful and friendly. No complaints!
Capitol hill hotel is a great place to stay if you are touring DC. Very close to a metro stop, and only about a 20 minute walk to the mall. Great food on Pennsylvania Ave just minutes away also. Well maintained, the staff were helpful and professional. The only inconvenience I had while staying is there was only one ice machine on the ground floor. Other than that, it was great.
Breakfast, gym, and location
We liked the clean decor and the layout of the room. Breakfast was outstanding. I can't think of anything that we didn't like.
I first chose the Capitol Hill Hotel for its location. I was one block from not only the metro station, but also the Capitol Legislative Office Buildings. This hotel more than met my expectations. The staff was very friendly and accomidating. My room did not feel like a standard hotel room. It was set up as a small studio apartment which made me feel much more at home. Everything was modern and beautiful. I will definitly be staying here for all of my business trips to Capitol Hill.
Staff all friendly and welcoming. This is our third stay and it is still our favorite in DC. Breakfast is expensive but pretty good.
Location. Pleasant, friendly.
Nice room, liked the yoga mat in the room, great location literally minutes from Union Station, and very close to Capitol Hill, museums etc. When I checked in, the staff was very unfriendly. Seriously unfriendly. There was also a problem with the kimpton rewards. I signed up several days before the visit, and got an email that I was accepted, but the hotel had no record of this. I was able to login to the wifi with the email address I used with the kimpton rewards, but the hotel could not find it. It seems that they didn't want to accept it, even though they advertise it on their website and in the room.
Great location. Excellent restaurant and bar. Comfortable room. No in-room movies. Restaurant closed at 10.
The staff are wonderful, the rooms are spacious, the bedding is extremely comfortable. The restaurant is amazing, far better than I had hoped, and you cannot beat the location: @ 1.5 blocks from Union Station. And they served wine in the lobby from 5 to 6 p.m., so we were able to come back from a busy day and relax with a glass and chat with other guests. One member of our party was disappointed that breakfast wasn't included.
Great staff, very accommodating. Perfect location, close to all.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful rooms, close to the Capitol. Excellent pick.
Fun hotel, great staff. Enjoyed the visit Some issue with Bis at breakfast. Had to ask for many missing utensils, jam on table had been opened and used. Hard to get coffee refills. Lunch was excellent on all counts.
Hotel was nice and clean for the most part. Staff was wonderful and helped us valet park six hours before our check-in time. Location was close to Capitol Hill, yet in a shady part of town. Bed linens had some yellow stains, but we just folded that part to the end of the bed.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 12:51am
It's been well documented how much the Florida women's lacrosse team stresses fitness and athleticism from its team members. The team's workout routine is second to none in Division I lacrosse, and that shows with the success the young program already has accomplished.
Given the team's history, it's no surprise the players come into the fall in tip-top shape and ready to hit the ground running. As the team hits the meat of its fall practices, here's a glimpse into how the team keeps in shape over the summer.
Strength and conditioning coach Karin Werth crafts a plan for the Florida athletes to go into the summer. The workout plans focus on individual weaknesses (a player who struggles to keep up toward the end of practice would have more conditioning, for instance.). They all get a summer training plan that tells them what to do on what days.
"If you take too much time off, no matter what sport you play, you end up de-training, and you're putting your body into a position when you start back training you're more susceptible to injuries, so we never want to stop them," Werth said.
NCAA rules prohibit Werth from working with them over the summer, but players band together and keep each other accountable. And, most Division I athletes are competitive enough not to need outside motivation.
"Lacrosse players know the end of August they'll have some conditioning tests. They don't want to embarrass themselves by not doing anything over the summer. They want to impress their coaches at all times," Werth said.
Sophomore Ashley Bruns breaks down what she did in her summer routine, and Werth share some tips on why these workouts are good for an offseason athlete.
When I was younger I always enjoyed participating on various sports teams, which led me to my ultimate goal of playing for a DI program. The first time I visited Florida, in the beginning of my junior year of high school, I was immediately drawn to their style of play. Whether it was the intensity of the football team or the poise of the gymnastics team, both exhibited the need for becoming the best.
When it came to developing a new lacrosse program, [Athletic Director] Jeremy Foley promised only the best. I remember sitting around a large table in a conference room when Jeremy Foley presented to several families with his goals and ideas for the new program. He gave us exactly what he had promised, a state-of-the art facility. Not only do we have a beautiful facility, we have wonderful coaches who continue to push us to limits we never knew existed. Making it to the Elite 8 at NCAAs last season was a huge accomplishment for a second-year program, but with the many goals set by the players and coaches, we plan on going further in the near future.
Speed Development: Harness sprints with a partner
I absolutely loved this workout! The harness sprints helped to work on my form and develop a quick first step. This type of drill is important for a lacrosse player because creating a quick first step can help beat defenders, get to a ground ball, and overall help you to become a faster player.
Ashley's Tips: Take your time! Make sure that you understand the form needed in order to better your first step. Once you get the form down, you can then begin speeding up the sprinting process.
Why this is important: Especially in women's lacrosse everything is stop and go. When the whistle blows, we want to be the fastest off that whistle, whether we're in the defensive end of the offensive end, we want to be the fastest off that reaction. When we do starts, we're focused on being quick off the line. That drill works on the drive phase of sprinting. Basically, you're in a forward lean when you start that sprint and as soon as I blow the whistle they're driving their knee up quick and pumping their arms and trying to move quickly because they have resistance from someone behind them.
Full-body workout including Single-leg Squats, Dumbbell Step-Ups
This workout is very challenging. The most difficult part would be the dumbbell step-ups. Using a heavy weight, you have to make sure your form is perfect to get the full effect. Stepping high while keeping your toe pointed up really makes a difference. I really enjoyed the single-leg squats. Again, you have to go very slowly.
Ashley's Tips: If you want to make the single-leg squats more difficult, use a balance pad under your foot.
Why this is important: Any sport that you're moving in all directions, you have to have strong single-leg framework. Your joints, tendons and muscles in a single leg have to be pretty strong because when you're playing a sport you're never really doing things together with both feet. You're usually pushing off on one leg or the other leg, so we like to train not just a two-legged squat, but a single-leg squat where we can focus on getting each leg strong by itself. It keeps athletes healthy.
A summer plan allows Florida's athletes to come into fall in shape, and most importantly, prevent injury.
"The more I can do before something happens, the stronger they will be and easier to go through rehab if they get injured," Werth said. "But hopefully, nothing will happen."

Home > World News > Article
The Pentagon's internal auditor is investigating allegations that Defence Department officials tried to hide $US20 million ($30 million) from Congress.
It is alleged that they tried to temporarily put the funds in the budget of the secretive Special Operations Command, which oversees the Green Berets and other units that specialise in clandestine operations. Officials there were first asked to hide $US40 million, the St Petersburg Times reported on Monday. However, it said, they told Pentagon officials that they could not handle so large an amount.
The newspaper, quoting what it said were internal documents from the command, said an official in the office of the Pentagon's comptroller, or chief financial officer, called the command's comptroller, Elaine Kingston, and asked if she could "park" $US40 million in Special Operations' proposed budget for this financial year.
"They needed an answer in five minutes," Ms Kingston later wrote in an email the paper said it had obtained. "The agency they had parked it with had a problem and they couldn't do it."
Ms Kingston also allegedly coached colleagues not to bring the budgetary move to the attention of congressional staff.
A spokesman for the command said Ms Kingston did not mean to indicate that the money was being hidden in her budget. Parked was "a bad word to use" and Ms Kingston "didn't mean it in that sense", he said.
The amount involved is tiny relative to the Pentagon's annual budget of nearly $US400 billion. But the allegation that the Pentagon sought to mislead Congress about any spending is explosive, especially because many legislators complain that the Pentagon under Donald Rumsfeld has not been responsive to their concerns.
Mr Rumsfeld, the Defence Secretary, was expected to face questioning about the alleged padding of the Special Operations Command's budget at a hearing yesterday on the Bush Administration's request for an additional $US87 billion to spend in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The White House, meanwhile, has dismissed as ridiculous the suggestion that Karl Rove, senior adviser to President George Bush, had illegally disclosed the identity of an undercover CIA officer, as the FBI opened an investigation into the case.
At the same time, the White House rejected growing calls from Democrats for the appointment of a special outside counsel to determine whether someone in the Administration had disclosed the officer's identity in retaliation for criticism of its Iraqi intelligence by the officer's husband.
The White House spokesman, Scott McClellan, said the issue of disclosing classified information about a CIA officer was a very serious matter that should be "pursued to the fullest extent" by the Justice Department.
In a column in July the syndicated writer Robert Novak named an undercover CIA agent. Novak's column centred on a retired diplomat, Joseph Wilson, who concluded more than 18 months ago in a report for the CIA that there was no clear evidence that Saddam Hussein had tried to buy uranium ore from Africa in order to build nuclear weapons.
Novak disclosed in his column that although Mr Wilson had never worked for the CIA, his wife, Valerie Plame, "is an agency operative on weapons of mass destruction" and that "two senior Administration officials" told him that she was the one who suggested sending him to Africa.
Novak said on Monday: "Nobody in the Bush Administration called me to leak this." Instead, he said, he was reporting on Mr Wilson's Africa trip when a senior Administration official told him the trip was inspired by his wife.

It's Summer in South Park. Summer only lasts about a week in South Park so the boys want to spend all there money on fireworks. But fireworks have been banned in Calorado. When Jimbo finds out about this he and ned head down to mexico to get some fireworks for the boys. The Mayor makes plans for the biggest buring Snake in history.
I love this episode. Its so funny! The best part is when it shows the boys as babies and kenny blows himself up. Another great part is right at the end when Chef comes back. The Mr. Garrison part of the story is great too. It shows just how crazy he is. The best of season two!

In order to understand the meaning and worth of money, or the economic crisis we are facing, one does not have to be an economist, but a philosopher (Peter Raev). Thinking about and researching the worth of money, lead me to reading an excerpt from Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. More specifically, it was Francisco d'Anconia's money speech that really struck me with the power of its message, the depth of its analysis and the simplicity of its ideas. Francisco denounces the idea that "money is the root of all evil." It simply cannot be, because the root of money is the need of exchange. It is made possible by the men who produce and those who need their product. Try forcing the modern man to live off his/her own product. What do you think might happen? I fear we all might starve to death. We need money! We need it to survive, to be comfortable and to feel worthy. No one is ashamed to 'sell' his/her best product, skill, or work. I know I wouldn't be. On the contrary, I would want to 'sell' my best work for the best price. Similarly, I would look to buy the best product with my money (the fruits of my work). There is nothing corrupt in this process of exchange. Rather, there is honor in it – the honor of working hard and reward for the hard work of others.
Money, then, is a tool of exchange, and sets forward a moral code that we all ought to follow. "Your wallet is your statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money" (Ayn Rand).
There is a valid argument that money is made by the strong of the day to the expense of the weak. While there is much dirt in man's business with money, I believe that, for the most part, money and wealth go to the worthy. Who are the strong of the day? Those who have the guns or the muscles? Maybe, but more often, money comes to the intelligent, innovative and persistent souls. "Wealth is the product of man's capacity to think. Then, is money made by the man who invents a motor at the expense of those who did not invent it? Is money made by the intelligent at the expense of the fools? By the able at the expense of the incompetent? By the ambitious at the expense of the lazy?" (Ayn Rand). It is true that those who possess the guns and the muscles possess the power to loot the money and possess if forcefully, but before that could happen, someone has to make the money. And the people who make them are the truly worthy ones.
Our work, skills, intelligence and persistence make money worth something…and worth a lot. Likewise, appreciating the work, skills and intelligence of others makes money worth something. The honest exchange of money makes our lives versatile, comfortable and fulfilling. A truly honest person knows he/she cannot consume more that he/she produces, Rand says. Consequently, an honest person knows he/she cannot spend more money that he/she earns. However, 'easy credit' has made millions of people forget the honor code in money matters. Then it is fair to ask – is it money that corrupts people, or is it people who corrupt money. I believe the latter to be true. It is unreasonable to project our own flaws and weaknesses onto money. That is why I agree with Rand's statement that money is simply a tool, "it will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver". It will give you the means for satisfaction of your desires, but it will not provide you with desires."
Ultimately, we give meaning to money by deciding what to do with it, how to spend it and give back. If money is worth anything, it is us who define its worth by our deeds. Money is a vessel that can sometimes lead us to happiness, but it is not happiness itself, it cannot define the person or his/her code of values, or purpose in life; it can merely be an expression of what the individual already possesses inside. I believe that the way we deal with our money mirrors the way we deal with our inner world, whether we are sloppy, gluttonous, confused, giving, or suspicious. Francisco's speech declares: "Money will not buy intelligence for the fool, or admiration for the coward, or respect for the incompetent." Money is power, we hear. It is living power, and like anything that's living it has its rots. Money should be rooted it the worth that earned it. If its roots are cut, and money is looted by the unworthy, it soon vanishes. That is why the homeless person could not become wealthy, not even with 100,000 dollars. That is why most lottery winners soon file for bankruptcy. If money did not come to you because of your worth, it will not stay with you either. If the source of your money is corrupt, if you have adopted fraud and dishonesty to serve you, then your money and wealth will be corrupt, too. "Money will always remain an effect and refuse to replace you as the cause. Money is the product of virtue, but it will not give you virtue and it will not redeem your vices" (Ayn Rand).
Continuing that train of thought, love of money could not be the root of evil either. Loving something implies loving its nature. Then, the 'lovers of money' are attracted to the underlying moral code. "The lovers of money are willing to work for it. They Know they are able to deserve it" (Ayn Rand). It you wish to obtain money and really keep it, it seems to me, the only way is to earn it and truly deserve it. And that demands certain virtues and habits. I would not envy the hair of infinite riches. If he/she is worthy of such, he/she would make that amount of money anyway. If the hair is unworthy, he/she would lose the money as easily as he/she got them. In the "Atlas Shrugged" Ayn Rand writes: "Watch money. Money is the barometer of a society's v
irtue." I believe that. So, when we face the current economic turmoil, we should remember it is probably rooted in the corruption of our own society.
…What have we done to money??

Dr. Vaisman does not take care of any problems herself. She refers me to other doctors for everything and I have to pay additional copays for things she should be able to take care of, like an ear infection or wax in my ear.
Dr. Sofia is a gem--so long as you can wait 5-6 WEEKS for an appointment. Also be prepared to wait for at least an hour to see her once you're there. Sadly, her office staff is the absolute worst: rude, unhelpful, with no follow-through on paperwork, insurance, or test results. A shame, really.
Just try and get an appointment! Good luck! Certainly the Dr.'s are good, but availability? Good luck.
the front desk/staff is AWFUL. i called 11 (literally 11) times to get a copy to send in to my insurance. when i went to pick it up, they lost it. i wait at least 45 minutes even with an appointment. the dr herself is very nice, but her staff is so rude and unhelpful her demeanor is overshadowed. if you call and leave a message, just don't expect to have anyone call you back. i also tried to send them my medical records- it was impossible to get them to coordinate with my old doctors to get the fax, call, etc.
Dr. Vaisman is a great doctor but the front desk is bellow "poor" rating. All the staff in front should be fired and replaced with good people since they are the front line before the patiant sees the doctor.
I have used this clinic and doctor for many years. Dr. Vaisman and her extender NP and PA providers give a lot of time to her patients. I highly recommend her and office
The staff is the WORST I have ever dealt with. Good luck getting in to see the doctor. No complaints about her but why bother saying anything good if it takes at least 2 hours to see her (with an appointment). Even if you're dying you won't be able to see her. Your best best is the ER! The staff is rude and so not helpful.
Good doctor, but to get an appointment you have to wait for 6 weeks. Long wait in waiting room too
I don't know why there are bad ratings for Dr Sofia. She is sweet and caring. Takes extra time with you. It does take a while to schedule with her, but that is because she has a very loyal following. she always remembers me and my family when I show up. She looks you in the eyes and doesn't spend the whole time scibling in your chart. I Love her. I have never had a bad experience there.
I only got to see the actual doctor once. I was usually directed to the Nurse Practitioner. The Dr. was critical, blaming, and particularly snippy with me. My request for transfer of my medical records never happened.

Has Project Runway been away so long that Jillian developed a personality (besides, of course, deep-seated evil cloaked in retro-wear)? Or was that just careful editing to make everyone feel sorry for her, so that the audience would be happy for her when her TwizzDress 2000 worked out in the end? Hint: It was just careful editing. Why else would they show her almost breaking in two trying to carry nearly half her weight (62 pounds) of Twizzlers?
I mean, it was hard not to root for Jillian to pull together her garment in this episode because, well, it was a candy store challenge she was the only one who used actual candy to construct her outfit. The only one. Everyone else chose to rip open Hershey's bar pillows, and pull the stuffing out of puffy silver kisses, giving the majority of the outfits a highly unappealing palette of brown and silver. There were puffy silver astronaut dresses that looked like they came with their own diapers (Ricky's), a floating silver and white boredom (Sweet Pea's), a futuristic milkmaid costume for "ice princesses" (Victorya's), a chic silver and brown suit (Kevin's), whatever that velvet brown/dislocated puff sleeve dress was (Elisa's, the obvious loser), and a very slick, very cool, but very brown get-up from Fattie Chris. The contestants who used the candy wrappers fashioned more interesting looking garments, like Rami's robot cigarette girl look, Kit's punk rolling in the garbage look, and Christian's cute Reese's wrapper dress.
But Jillian had the clear advantage here because she made an outfit out of a difficult material: candy. It's the perfect defense. The bustier doesn't fit very well? It's made out of fucking candy. The fringe skirt/bustier combination is a little too much look? It's made out of fucking candy. The fringe seems a little sparse in places? Well, yeah, cause it's made out of fucking candy. I'm almost surprised (but very grateful) that Rami's intricate paper dress won out over her uninspired TwizzDress 2000. (I say "uninspired" because what else would you make out of Twizzlers besides fringe? It's an obvious choice, like making a skirt out of wide leaves, or bra out of coconut shells, or fake nipples out of some well-placed Reese's Pieces.)
I still don't trust Jillian. I still believe she is poised for villainy, and that one day I'll be able to use the word "Jilliainy" in these reviews and have everyone know exactly what I'm talking about. After all, why is she so catatonic? Why does she only abandon that monotone when she's talking to the judges? And what was the deal with that shot of her backstage pulling her hair for an uncomfortably long time? She's as weird as Fattie Chris is giggly, Ricky is emotional, Kevin and Kit are awesome, and Christian is terribly, terribly annoying.
Grade: B+
Stray Observations:
--Did anyone else notice an unusual amount of filler in this episode? It seemed like certain sequences (The contestants getting ready to leave, the Tim Gunn wake-up call, the models visiting the L'Oreal Paris make-up room/Tressemme hair salon) were lengthier than normal, but without any kind of pay-off.
--Zac Posen: Irritating like Poison Oak on the backs of your knees, or irritating like cleaning your ears with q-tips made of sandpaper?
--I can't prove it, but I'm pretty sure Elisa put a spell on Heidi before she left. Either that, or she was just mumbling something about natural embuing.
--Surprisingly, the Ricky (and his hats) cry count is holding steady at 31. Though the preview for the next episode promises a big increase.

NASA Air Pollution Map
NASA has released a new map that shows where people are most likely to die from air pollution.
According to a new atmospheric pollution model designed by a scientist at the University of North Carolina, more than 2 million people die every year from pollution caused by car exhaust and industrial sources.
NASA plugged the information into a map of the world and it shows where the problem is the worst. Not surprisingly, it's in heavily industrialized areas with lower air quality standards, like eastern Europe, India and Asia.
But the map also shows some positive trends with air quality improvement, like the southeastern US and mid South America.
