Body Found In Open Grave Identified
(WOWT graphic)
Omaha police are still digging for clues into the death of a woman whose body was found in an open grave at a cemetery. She's been identified as UNL student Melissa Rodriguez, an Omaha South graduate.
Authorities are treating the case as a homicide.
Officers were called to Graceland Park Cemetery around 10 a.m. on Thursday. The cemetery was closed for the rest of the day, and a scheduled burial at the gravesite was postponed.
The graveside service was scheduled for 28-year-old Kevin McIntyre, who was shot and killed on August 4th. Authorities say they do not believe the McIntyre slaying is connected to the body that was found in the grave.

Half-banded loach
Posted By: casy <email@example.com>
Date: Wednesday, 3 May 2000, at 9:41 a.m.
Hi Yesterday, I bought three very cute, inquisitive little loaches that were marked as Green Hillstream Loaches. They went in my cool water tank with one Black Moor goldfish (4") and two weatherloaches (6"). I was told they like the cooler water, is this accurate? They have been happily playing in the air stone and bubblewall bubbles with the dojos and the 5 loaches do the loach pile thing so they are getting along. The Half-banded guys went nuts for tubifex worms - any other fav foods? Does anyone have more info on these wonderful loaches they could share with me? Also, the store clerk said I could put 3 clown loaches in my 30g tank and they would be okay size wise for 10 years - this seems overcrowded - opinions? Thanks

I do think I've heard of a few incidents where the car activated the brakes on its own...and there are many incidents of wheel speed sensor failings. Not infrequently, those failing have to do with the connector or wire. There's supposed to be a waterproof gasket in there, but I know they can fall out. But, I'm pretty sure you'd find speed sensor codes. I believe it's a myth, that you can fix speed sensors by cleaning the magnets in the hub, but I have read of a few having success with that.
You recall if your car was pushing over to a particular side when it 'cut out'? That would at least help you figure out which side an issue might be on.
Oh, one other thought about this 'brake activating' thought. The brake feeling you're getting might also be just the effect of the engine stopping, which it sounds like it is...then, because the car is moving and in gear, it 'push starts' itself back to life.
"... it 'push starts' itself back to life". That's exactly why I assumed it was cut out. No pulling at all but you wouldn't expect that if the DSC slammed the brakes on uniformally. I am driving without the DSC and will continue to do so for the time being. I've never really given the DSC much thought but I read up on it last night and the more I read the more it seemed feasible, in spite of the absence of DSC codes. There was no CEL either which you would expect with a crank sensor failure. The other thing that made me think of it was that every now and again I drive with my heavy boots on. The soles have a large lip on them and on occasion, when I am braking, I push the clutch in and my left boot sole catches the lip on my right boot sole and presses the brake as well. I did it today and it was just like what happened on Thursday, but without the dashboard lights coming on. (No, I didn't have my big boots on Thursday night). So the DSC stays off for the forseeable future. Trouble is the default is ON. I have to question the practicality of taking control of the braking away from an experienced human. Its like putting it in the hands of a light bulb. Stupid. I might actually look at disabling it by removing fuses or something.

Ask any of my subscribers, and they'll tell you, I love earnings season, really and truly.
[1]You only have to look at yesterday's market action to understand why. The Dow finished up a shade under 200 points [2]on positive earnings news.
But this goes so much further than one good day for the indices.
My love affair with earnings season stems from the fact that over the past 30 years, I have found that some 90% of my market-trouncing profits were made during the critical weeks of earnings season.
I'm talking double-digit profits from safe, reliable blue chip stocks like these:
But let's be clear, these double-digit swings can work in the opposite direction, too. That's because earnings season is Judgment Day for any company.
Case in point is JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM[6]), which announced lackluster first-quarter results last Friday. Even though the company increased its earnings per share by 2% due to lower share count, the company's net income still slipped 4%. Investors did not react well to this, so shares gapped down 4% after its earnings announcement.
Yes, in today's market, even stocks that have been on a run or stocks considered to be "old reliables" aren't safe havens anymore. If the quarterly report isn't good, Wall Street will sentence a company's stock to a 5%, 10%, even 20% drop in price. (Ouch!) But if a company's earnings are strong, you can bank on instant and dramatic profits.
That's why for the next two weeks we're going to watch every report, and I'm going to be there to help you navigate to the biggest winners and away from the biggest losers.

Team Obama has revealed its election campaign strategy to cover up the president's momentous whisper gaffe with the Russians last week: Attack Mitt Romney as naive and still living in an era when the Russians couldn't be trusted.
According to Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton, the democratic backsliding in Russia is nothing to worry about. The Russians under returning President Vladimir Putin are our friends. And Joe even revealed Sunday that if Iran closes or disrupts the Straits of Hormuz, shutting off 20% of the world's daily oil flow, Russia has agreed to consider selling Europe more of its oil. Aren't they pals?
Last week at a nuclear summit in Seoul, Obama was caught on an open mic quietly pleading with outgoing President Dmitry Medvedev for "space," especially on missile defenses, during the U.S. election campaign and assuring the Russian that he would have more "flexibility" after "my last election."
Flexibility? On defending America with missiles? Why would a loyal U.S. commander-in-chief ever want to be flexible on such things? And signal that stance ahead of negotiations to anyone, especially potential enemies? Please help me con my people.
Obama crowd suggests Romney is naive for not trusting Russia

Scholarships for Study Abroad
Get information on undergraduate study abroad scholarship opportunities.
In addition to the resources on this page, you can visit the IIE Study Abroad Funding database, consult with the Office of International Programs & Services, and visit the Scholarships site to learn more about scholarship opportunities specific to Evergreen.
Office of International Programs has Fulbright News!
Evergreen alumna, Tigranna Zakaryan, '13, has been awarded a prestigious Fulbright Research Grant for the 2016 – 17 academic year to study refugee populations in Uganda. Her research will consider local integration strategies for Congolese refugees in Uganda, specifically focusing on how identity formation develops/ changes due to forced displacement. Following her Fulbright work, she hopes to pursue a PhD in anthropology with a focus on contemporary displacement and refugee policy.
Tigranna focused much of her Evergreen study on displaced populations and refugees from global conflict. One of the foundations for her Fulbright proposal came from her participation in an Evergreen consortium program, the School for International Training, where she studied refugee issues in Rwanda in 2012 She also traveled to Armenia on an individual contract during her senior year to explore its history with genocide and displacement, later presenting her findings both to the Evergreen community and at a national conference at Harvard University. She was also a TRiO Peer Leader in her junior year. Currently she is working as the Director of Community Outreach for the Armenian American Museum in Los Angeles.
The Fulbright Program offers grants to study, teach and conduct research for U.S. citizens to go abroad and for non-U.S. citizens to come to the United States. Currently, the Fulbright Program operates in over 160 countries worldwide. Participation in the Fulbright Student Program enables graduating college seniors, graduate students, young professionals and artists to study, teach, or conduct research. A bachelor's degree (or equivalent) is generally required by the start of the Fulbright grant period. For more information, see the Fulbright Program website.

Stars in Stereo Premiere New NSFW Music Video, "Leave Your Mark"
Stars in Stereo released their new album, 'Leave Your Mark,' earlier this year via Hundred Handed Inc. Today, the band has teamed up with Revolver to premiere their new NSFW music video for the title track. Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!
Guitarist Jordan McGraw says of the video, "We wanted to make a video for 'Leave Your Mark' that was a 100% true to the concept of the song. It isn't explicit for the sake of being dirty--it's honest. It stays with the idea that you shouldn't be ashamed of who you are and what makes you feel sexy. The fact that even the censored version is too much for people to support shows exactly why people feel the need to hide their quirks and fetishes. We say fuck it as long as you're not hurting anyone who doesn't want to be hurt. Get off how you want to get off."
Stars in Stereo will be heading out on the road with You Me at Six--visit the band's Facebook page for tour dates. 'Leave Your Mark' is also available on iTunes. For more information on Stars in Stereo, visit their website and Facebook.

In 2012, the Husker women claimed the second Big Ten title in school history, earning the indoor crown.
Huskers Named All-Big Ten
Nine Huskers earned first-team All-Big Ten honors at the Big Ten Indoor Championships for winning their individual events. Honorees include Oladapo Akinmoladun (60-meter hurdles), Travis Englund (high jump), Levi Gipson (600 meters). Second-team accolades went to Jake Bender (4x400), Cody Rush (4x400), Christian Sanderfer (4x400), Seth Wiedel (long jump), Drew Wiseman (4x400), Chantal Duncan (4x400), Ellie Ewere (triple jump), Ellie Grooters (4x400), Mara Weekes (4x400), Shawnice Williams (4x400).
Winning Ways
The all-time winningest track and field coach in the history of the Big 12 and the former Big Eight Conference, Nebraska Head Coach Gary Pepin is in his 34th season at NU during the 2014 track and field season. The longest tenured active coach in Cornhusker athletics, 2014 will be Pepin's 34th season as head coach of both the Husker men's and women's track teams. Pepin captured 23 Big 12 titles as the Huskers' leader.
In his first 33 seasons at Nebraska, Pepin has coached athletes to 57 NCAA titles, 485 All-America honors and 526 conference titles.
Williams Earns Big Ten Honor
Nebraska senior Shawnice Williams was honored by the Big Ten Conference on Monday, February 24 as she was selected as the league's female track athlete of the week. The honor marks the first indoor track and field weekly award of her career.
Williams finished first in the 600 meters at the Nebraska Tune-Up over the weekend, posting a time of 1:29.70. She currently ranks second in the conference in the event.
Baird Named Big Ten Track Athlete of the Week
Nebraska freshman Kadecia Baird was honored by the Big Ten Conference on Jan. 27 as she was selected as the league's female track athlete of the week. The honor marks her first Big Ten indoor track and field weekly award.
Baird ran in the New Balance games at The Armory in New York City. Competing in the elite division of the women's 300 meters, she clocked a personal-best time of 37.26 to finish second in the event. Olympian Shaunae Miller led the field of world-class sprinters, posting a time of 36.40.
Gipson Named Big Ten Track Athlete of the Week
Nebraska sophomore Levi Gipson was honored by the Big Ten Conference on Monday, Jan. 20 as he was selected as the Big Ten Male Track Athlete of the Week. The honor marks the first indoor track and field weekly award of his career.
The Lincoln native led the Huskers at the Holiday Inn Invitational, coming in as the top collegiate finisher in the men's 600 meters. His personal-best time of 1:17.65 is first in the nation and in the Big Ten and third all-time in the Nebraska record books.
Home-Grown Talent
Fans of track and field in the state of Nebraska have seen a lot of familiar faces this season as 68 of the Huskers' 139 athletes are Nebraska natives. Overall, the team is represented by 18 states and nine countries.
Huskers Name 2014 Captains
The Nebraska track and field team named its 2014 captains earlier this year. Leading the team this season will be Miles Ukaoma, Anne Martin, Trevor Vidlak, Annie Jackson, Chad Wright, Patrick Raedler and Ellie Grooters.
Among the group of captains the Huskers boast one NCAA Champion, five All-Americans indoors and outdoors (first-team and second-team) and numerous All-Conference competitors.

Final Fantasy VIII
Review by Astounded
"One word pretty much sums it up... WOW!!!"
I noticed that every other reviewer had a Japanese or pirated copy of the game. Well I don't. I waited the tortureously long wait until September 9 and bougt the REAL GAME(actually I got it for my birthday)! In this review I will go over five aspects of the game. Graphics, sound, control, gameplay, and presentation.
Graphics: 10
Next to Metal Gear solid, these are the best graphics on the PlayStation. Abandoning the super-deformed look It's RPG roots tend to rely on and going for a different, more "mature" look that I personally think looks really well. The motin is ultra fluid, which was done by motion capture techniques. And even though the backgrounds ae pre rendered, I seems that they aren't. Number one. They are still two dimensional, but it is so hard to tell that if you try your brain will hurt. And second, little things like steam coming out of a manhole, a fan or clock moving, and signs blinking on and off make you feel like you are in a living, breathing world. The FMV, Oh my lord the FMV, is so incredibly awesome that I cannot describe it within the limits of our vocabulary. So when I say That it is mind boggling, it is so, so, much more.
Sound: 9
The sound, well, could have been better and dosn't really start getting good until near the end of disk one. after that period, the music is awesome. I found myself humming the Laguna battle music until my throat was hoarse. Just like in Final Fantasy VII, It had great battle music and sounds that emerge you in the game. For Ice, thunder, or fire, or any other spell you could think of, it was like it was happening to you. I felt like I was being struck by lightening, burnt to a crisp and having a giant block of ice dropped on my head.
Control: 10
Just like in any RPG, the control is dead on. Walking up and talking to townspeople is as easy as pie. And apparently, Square has been reading my letters and probably some other people's letters too and has swiched the action button from the O button to the X button, which eliminates many hours of feverishly trying to talk to townspeople and just running. Oh and that reminds me, the field field move is run. Hallelujia!!
Gameplay: 10
I am going to split this up into seven parts.
Battle: 10
Battle AI: 9
Townspeople AI:10
Card game:10
Card game AI:10
Mini games:8
This very well could be the best PlayStation game of all time.

Friendly staff, very accomodating to the non-german speaker not really
breakfast staff. very nice. reception staff. very rude.
I appriciated a lot how comfortable re the rooms .. The breakfast is too expencive.. 18 euro is foolish.. Anyway
late checkout time parking fee (should be free for hotel guests)
Location, Room Service, Quiet The room was a tad to small and definitely lacked completely in charm
It does not have the Spanish International TV Channel. And it is a Spanish hotel!!!!
excellent breakfast buffet, very clean rooms
It was clean, convenient and efficient
The view from the room was pretty nice - glass on two sides of the room looking over the city. I had asked for a nice view when booking so this was great.
Location I've stayed at this hotel for over 10 years. Every year the cleaning staff is getting worse and worse.
I don't like size of bed is too small.
Excellent breakfast Could do with a facelift, everything was dated and tired looking, the superior room, wasn't!
Extremely high price for the room
Great location, 2 minutes walk from Hauptbanhof (main station) gives easy access to train services and, links to exhibition centre.
Well I am happy because my decision was right to stayed in Holidays Inn.
everything was perfect the price of the breakfast
Very pleasant and friendly-hotel&staff,both. Wonderful location.
good location, friendly staff,good value unless you happen to book during the week of a trade fair or conference.....not impressed when buisness capitalise on events which bring people to their country...
its location near the Train station is a plus also for the car there is plenty of parking options so you dont need to pay the hotel for parking. their airconditionin not working in both my rooms( they are on but too hot) I asked for extra pillow as the provided once are too bad they simply answered they are fully booked, and I slept without them for 2 nights
Old town was best No
Location. Comfort.
The friendly and efficient staff are simply exemplary. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Breakfast is almost superb. No English tea ...... but you'll live without it.
Would definitely stay again. Picked up some of the cards at the front desk. Man working front desk was very helpful and friendly. Room was perfect. Breakfast was good with lots of variety cereal, fruit meat. Very nice very pleasant BR room on 6th floor. Car park was locked and protected. Hotel less than 1 block from train/tram station for those going to Phillips Hall as I was. Not really. It was a little hard to get to. The street the hotel was on did nto open onto the main street. Had to come down one street ...turn left. and then circle the street the hotel was on. But did not really have a problem with GPS. It really wasn't a problem
Friendliest of hotel staff
Large comfortable clean bedroom, breakfast very good, all staff were very friendly and helpful.
very clean hotel, and quite the staff was very friendly , breakfast very good
We've got very wolcome and worm host. the staff did any thing possible to help us. the room was very nice and comfortable, braekfast was very good. The location is not very central. not many good restaurants near the hotel.
It was a completely neutral hotel experience.
The staff, the room, the food, the services. No.
it was very comfortable,especially the bed and the pillows !!
You can have a good breakfast till late in the morning
Motel One was a lovely hotel to stay at for a city break. We were in Dusseldorf for the Xmas Markets for the weekend. Hotel was in perfect location for catching the tram which was right outside front door and only a 5-10min walk from the main train and UGround station. Our room was lovely and clean, very cosy and bathroom had a fantastic shower!
The hotel room was really nice and clean. It is a perfect hotel for a weekend in Dusseldorf for shopping/ city trip. Also you can park in a private parking garage for 5 euro per day. The man from the reception was not helpfull and not customer orientated!! Also the breakfast area is very small.
Hotel was very clean, excellent value for money and breakfast was good value at €3,60
Very good quality & service for a moderate budget.
modern, non smoking, clean, good location near central station and u bahn slight lack of storage space in the room
comfortness close to station and with car parking its very nice
only the cleanliness the hotel don't have phone in the rooms and is not good for visitors like me becuase i have to call home or for my business. also bad service.
Hotel Staff very helpful and good location for Messe and the Altstadt
We went for a lad's weekend for 3 days and found the hotel to be excellent, clean, excellent value for money, good breakfast, helpful staff and fabulous rooms especially the showers. The only small downside was its distance to the centre of Düsseldorf main drinking area but I'm been picky. Overall highly recommended.
breakfast and beds The A/C du not work well - do not cull down - it was very hot in the room Shower cabin is to tiny and the sink is on the bed location ( must be in the bathroom )
the hotell staff yes , i didn't like the fact that my toillets were outside the room. if i would know it, i woul'd not make the reservation.
The rooms are small but cozy, warm and they offer use of fridge.
nothing everthing . They over booked and they gave away our rooms
Front desk staff was very helpful. Overpriced.
Location, price, breakfast none
bad services
Very good breakfast, stuff quite friendly and very close to Bahnhof. Room was big and clean, I would recommend it. very strange system of turning on the water. It was always slightly warm.
I get breakfast earlier I had problems with internet connections
Convenient location Comfort of the bathroom
Location was good - 10 min walking distance from central station and taxi from down town cost just 7EUR. Room was very, very small. We booked twin room, but both single beds were put together and was not possible to separate them as then bathroom doors would be blocked. Twin room in picture is very far from what you actually get! Girl in reception was not very welcoming - we felt like we are bothering her with being there.
location in the central train station no
Location is perfect if you arrive by plane or train. The hotel is in the Central Station building. Cigarette smell in the room
Very close to the Hauptbahnhof! Excellent to connect to trains in the morning.Also, very affordable lodging, and good value for the price. Room was quite small for a double; a bit uncomfortable for two people to manoeuvre.
Close to main railway station, good value for money. Parking was 10 walk away on the other side of the railway station. However even during night, railway station is safe and guarded.
Everything was very good except the internet. Internet was useless. Signal was so weak in my room I couldn't connect. Others have mentioned this and really in this day and age internet connection should be flawless. Fix it! Had to use my phone as a hotspot which is much more expensive.
great location at the main railway station,comfortable rooms,helpful front office and great value for money
The place,cleaniness
Near to station. very convenient from airport and to messe
location Room could be bigger
Perfect location if you travel by train, with direct entrance from the station hall. Same for traveling from Dusseldorf airport: trains all night bringing you straight to the terminal within 15 minutes
Location was wonderful. Staff was very helpful in answering questions. Breakfast was wonderful. Our room was very clean and quiet.
Clean, comfortable and a 2 minute walk from the station
Considerate operator who took the time to do the job correctly. The breakfast was good, and I had all that I needed.
Staff were very helpful. Paid Internet access is not avilable to guests
Less then 5 minutes from the central train station
The Hotel was very close to the central Station. Very Clean and the beds were comfortable. Water was hot for showers. The price was very good for customers with limited expenses. The quality was very good for the price. We needed an economic place to stay but like clean and comforatable beds.
Staff breakfast no elevator, no reception on night
Very comfortable, close to public transport (great use of the free tickets during stay), friendly-helpful staff, walking distance to pizza/cocktail bar/cafe Impressive rooms (especially w/ different themes in each room)
Comfortable, quiet & nice environment with easy access to city centre & main station - by tram only a few stops. room size a bit small
Very quite place to stay for business & Holiday purpose and i notice that i am in the hearth of Europe Heritage.I appreciated the way the people are guest orientated. everything was fine
Friendly family-run hotel. Very efficient key system. Elegant and comfortable room and a reasonable location for access to the main train station. We would have liked to be closer to the Altstadt, but the tram was very convenient and quick.
Price too expensive for the quality and service offered at the hotel. Cool rooms and not suitable for business. Rooms too small,
Good breakfast, nice room interior and free public transport Smoking is allowed in the hallway and the breakfast room could be bigger
Very friendly staff, charming stylish hotel, lovely rooms (Country house Lindström), quiet area, really nice breakfast. Close to "Philippshalle" (pop/rock concert venue) The non smoking rooms are above the smoking ones, hence you're affected by an unbearable smoking odor if someone on the floor below smokes in his room. Very annoying!!
Lovely decor. Very friendly and helpful staff. No parking on site. Room a little cold.

Additional dosage information:
Usual Adult Dose for Pulmonary Hypertension
Iloprost is intended for inhalation administration via either of two pulmonary drug delivery devices: the Prodose AAD System or the I-neb AAD System. It has not been studied with any other nebulizers. The first inhaled dose should be 2.5 mcg. If this dose is well tolerated, dosing should be increased to 5 mcg and maintained at that dose. Iloprost should be taken 6 to 9 times per day (no more than every 2 hours) during walking hours, according to individual need and tolerability. The maximum daily dose evaluated in clinical studies was 45 mcg (5 mcg 9 times per day).
The 20 mcg/mL concentration is intended for patients who are maintained at the 5 mcg dose and who have repeatedly experienced extended treatment times which could result in incomplete dosing. Transitioning patients to the 20 mcg/mL concentration using the I-neb AAD System will decrease treatment times to help maintain patient compliance.

I agree with Warren about personal preference. I have tried HD, CDROM, and
CF on a pc workstation, But I prefer CF's.
I can still temporarily upgrade to another CDROM iso.
HD's generate heat and noise.
Floppy drives can crap out for no reason.
CF is quite, no moving parts to fail, consumes virtually no power.
My home router is a HP Brio celeron 500 with 128mb CF memory card. I took
the HD out, but left the CDROM and Floppy physically installed, but not
connected to the Motherboard. The only component generating heat is the
powersupply. It boots very fast. I am happy with my setup

The two-island nation combines beaches, volcanic mountains and the legacy of the sugar industry.
The two-island nation combines beaches, volcanic mountains and the legacy of the sugar industry. History centres on Horatio Nelson and Alexander Hamilton and the local culture is almost a Caribbean cliché: mellow, friendly and familiar with a soca beat.
Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park, an 18th-century military stronghold, is one of the largest forts in the Caribbean and a Unesco World Heritage Site. The main citadel is lined with 24 cannons, while inside, barrack rooms hold displays of colonial history (00 1 869 465 2609; brimstonehillfortress.org; St Kitts; £5, audioguide £3).
At Frigate Bay, you'll find sun chairs and watersports. Mr X's Shiggidy Shack near Timothy Beach Resort offers waterskiing and hires snorkels, sailboats and windsurfing equipment (00 1 869 465 4995; mrxwatersports.com; St Kitts; snorkel hire £6 per hour, sailboats from £12).
Charlestown is good for a wander, taking in curiosities such as a small Jewish cemetery and the Alexander Hamilton Museum, which details the life of the US founding father (00 1 869 469 5786; nevis-nhcs.org; Charlestown; £3).
St Kitts and Nevis have an abundance of untouched native vegetation, a selection of treks and great views. Tracks are not well-defined so it's advisable to hire a guide; Greg's Safaris offers half-day hikes into the rainforest of St Kitts and full-day hikes up Mount Liamuiga volcano (00 1 869 465 4121; gregsafaris.com; half-day £38, full-day with lunch £55).
The Botanical Gardens of Nevis has tropical greenery, orchid and rose gardens, a conservatory and modern sculptures (00 1 869 469 3509; botanicalgardennevis.com; Nevis; £6).
Eat and drink
Casual the atmosphere may be at the narrow, open-all-day Kalabash café, but its food is superb. And varied too: depending on the time of day, and your appetite, take your pick from salads, vegetarian curries, falafel sandwiches and some delightful baked goods (00 1 869 466 2398; Basseterre; mains from £2.80).
A good place for sundowners is 1787 Bistro and Bar at Nevis's botanical gardens, where you can view the gardens and Nevis Peak. Lunch on grilled brie and prosciutto sandwiches and steaks or seafood for dinner (00 1 869 469 2875; Botanical Gardens of Nevis; mains from £5).
Like the clam shells, you'll be clapping for the Mediterranean- style seafood and tapas dishes at Rock Lobster. This relaxed, open-sided patio and bar serves plates of crispy calamari, followed by silky lobster bisque or the menu's highlight, its namesake rock lobster (00 1 869 466 1092; Frigate Bay; mains from £10).
St Kitts's former sugar estate turned inn the Rawlins Plantation Bananas Bistro is a plantation-style house that's perfect for tropical drinks and Caribbean fusion food. Try guava-barbecued shrimp and marinated tuna (00 1 869 469 1891; Charlestown; mains from £12).
Rawlins Plantation, a former sugar estate, is among the most gracious of St Kitts's plantation inns. It offers a creative West Indian buffet, which you can enjoy from the broad veranda with views to the coast and Sint Eustatius (00 1 869 465 6221; rawlinsplantation.com; St Kitts; buffet lunch £18, mains from £20).
Bird Rock Beach Hotel, along the shoreline from Basseterre, is a motel-style property with its own beach and jaunty beach bar. Rooms, with tiled floors, cane furniture and dated bed linen, aren't fancy – but they are the best-value ocean view rooms on offer (00 1 869 465 8914; birdrockbeach.com; Basseterre; from £55).
Timothy Beach Resort is the best deal in Frigate Bay. A simple low-rise, it has rooms and apartments which sleep up to six people. Most rooms have large balconies with sunset views and all are furnished with cane furniture and bright fabrics. This is the closest place to the joys of Frigate Bay Beach (00 1 869 465 8597; timothybeachresort.com; Frigate Bay; from £75).
The family who runs Oualie Beach Resort has been on Nevis for more than 350 years. Rooms are scattered about in low-rises; the architecture's humble but the white bungalows are breezy, with bright lime accents and private verandas (00 1 869 469 9735; oualiebeach.com; Nevis; from £135).
The Golden Lemon is a vision in yellow. Each room in this 17th-century manor house has high ceilings and is decorated differently with bright colours and bold prints. A long porch lined with comfy wooden chairs looks across its small lawn to the surf (00 1 869 465 7260; goldenlemon.com; Dieppe Bay; from £160).
At Ottley's Plantation Inn, a carefully manicured lawn fronts the 24 rooms scattered about in historic buildings and villas, some with their own plunge pools. Guests can enjoy breakfast at the open-air restaurant, which serves a mean banana pancake (00 1 869 465 7234; ottleys.com; Ottley's Village; from £200).
When to go
Year-round temperatures are 27-30°C. Go out of season (mid-April to mid-December) for better deals and the St Kitts Music Festival (stkittsmusicfestival.net) in June and the Nevis Culturama festival in July.
How to go
British Airways flies from Gatwick to St Kitts (from £725). American Airlines flies from Manchester via east coast US cities (from £780). Connect with Nevis by boat or inter-island flights. A taxi from St Kitts Airport to Basseterre costs around £6 and £12 from Nevis Airport to Charlestown.

With the April 18 filing deadline bearing down, I know you're focused on your 2010 tax return. But some of us have a couple of extra tax tasks to take care of by Monday, too.
Are you looking to reduce your tax bill by deducting a traditional IRA contribution? You need to get that money into the account by April 18. If you're mailing the contribution, check with your account manager as to what the company uses as the contribution deadline date.
The mutual fund that's home to my IRA, for example, says it goes by postmark. But make sure. If you file a tax return with the 2010 IRA deduction and then your retirement account shows that the money was credited toward the 2011 tax year, you'll have problems.
Remember, only a traditional IRA will get you a tax deduction, but you also can contribute to a Roth IRA for the 2010 tax year by April 18.
If you're self-employed and have a SEP-IRA account for that income, you can buy yourself some added contribution time by getting an extension. Unlike with regular IRAs, with an extension to file, SEP-IRA owners can make deductible contributions for the 2010 tax year up until Oct. 17, says David Frisch, adjunct instructor at the New York University School of Continuing and Professional Studies.
Speaking of self-employment, if you have income from your own business or other income on which withholding isn't collected, such as investment earnings or gains from an asset you sold, you probably pay estimated taxes.
And the first estimated tax amount for 2011 is due on April 18.
Finally, if you didn't file a tax return for the 2007 tax year and were due a refund back then, you have until Monday to get that old 1040 into the Internal Revenue Service. After that date, the U.S. Treasury gets to keep your money.
I know this is a lot to think about and time is short, but if you miss out on any of these tax responsibilities or opportunities, it could cost you.
Bankrate's Tax Guide 2011 has tips to help you accomplish all your pending tax tasks. Our free Daily Tax Tip newsletter continues through Monday.
And if you just can't finish your 2010 return by Monday, file Form 4868 for a six-month extension. Bankrate will be here through that October deadline and beyond. And our Daily Tax Tip newsletter will become a Weekly Tax Tip alert to help you finish your 2010 tax tasks and make tax-saving moves in 2011.

Minimum Wage Effects under Endogenous Compliance: Evidence from Peru
Latin American labor markets feature large informal sectors. In practice, however, the simple duality formal-informal has many different shades: firms tend to comply more with certain legislation than with other. Recent evidence has suggested that minimum wages have significant effects on the informal sector (Bell (1997) for Mexico; Gindling and Terrell (2004) for Costa Rica; Lemos (2004) and Fajnzylver (2001) for Brazil; and Maloney and Nuñez (2004) for Colombia). Further, some of this evidence suggests effects throughout a large part of the wage distribution. This has been interpreted as evidence of 'lighthouse' or numeraire effects. We test this hypothesis using panel data from Peru to identify effects throughout the wage distribution. Although there are some effects on informal sector workers, overall results provide little support for numeraire or 'lighthouse' effects. Labor monthly earnings are affected only at the bottom of the distribution (0.25-0.60 of the minimum wage), made up mostly of informal workers, and for formal workers earning between the old the new minima. Negative effects on the probability of retaining employed status after a minimum wage shock are either weak or non significant for wage earners below the minimum wage, but significant for formal workers 'trapped' between minima, and for both formal and informal earning between 1.2 and 2 times the minimum wage. Independent workers earning below minimum suffer negative effects on both earnings and employment.

Live Commentary
Well, that's all from me today. I hope that you have enjoyed our coverage and I hope to be keeping you up to date with more football action soon. I have been Hayden Gribble and you have been most welcome!
FULL TIME - WEST BROM 1-0 NEWCASTLE. The Baggies win their first Premier League game in ten after a solid display against a ten-man Magpies side. Second half substitute Berahino smashed a late penalty past Krul to make the points safe but it could have been more had it not been for some woeful finishing from the home side. For Alan Pardew's men, it has been a bad day at the office by all accounts.
90' + 4'CABAYE SHOOTS! ...And Foster makes an easy save. Surely that is the final piece of action in this game?
90' + 3'Yacob concedes a late corner as the Baggies attempt to park the bus. Krul comes up for the set piece but it is dealt with by the home side. They are nearly there!
90'There will be FOUR minutes of added on time.
89'What can Newcastle do to grab a point here? They look outrun, out thought and outnumbered out there by a West Brom side whose season could hinge on this game.
88'SubstitutionNicolas Anelka Zoltán Gera
86'Penalty Goal Saido Berahino
GOAL! Berahino smashes it low to Krul's left hand corner. The Baggies are bouncing as a first win in ten now looks like it is on the cards!
86'PENALTY TO WEST BROM! Brunt lays the ball through to Vydra - who is brought down by Krul! The referee points to the spot as Berahino steps up to take it...
84'Despite the pressure from the host you just get the feeling that if Newcastle can hit the Baggies on the counter attack it will bear fruit. We are into the final ten minutes plus stoppage time.
82'WHAT A MISS! Ridgewell has emulated the efforts of his teammate Anelka in the frist half by missing a sitter form close range. The left-back is unmarked in the area and manages to poke a low cross wide.
80'STAT ATTACK: West Brom are on a run of nine Premier League games without a victory (D5, L4).
78'The home support are trying to roar their charges on but the final ball is seriously letting the side down. But then again, all it take is one moment to find the net!
77'SubstitutionStéphane Sessegnon Matěj Vydra
77'HIGH AND WIDE! Brunt slips as he pulls the trigger and manages to level his shot into the crowd. West Brom will be annoyed if they cannot capitalise on their numerical advantage.
76'SubstitutionShola Ameobi Massadio Haidara
75'CLOSE! The Baggies are really going for this now! Berahino finds some room on the left-hand-side of the box but his low shot is smothered by Krul.
74'WORRYING TIMES FOR NEWCASTLE. Both Cabaye and Tiote are struggling with injuries at the moment. The former limps off the pitch to receive treatment leaving the Mapgies down to nine men for the time being!
72'The Baggies really are trying to make the extra man count. Anelka is finding the ball at his feet more in the final third but the Magpies are putting as many bodies as they can behind the ball.
70'STAT ATTACK: Seven of Newcastle's 10 league wins have been by a single-goal margin.
68'So far Ben Arfa's introduction in this half has gone largely unnoticed and both sides are still struggling to find the first goal of the game here.
65'SubstitutionFabricio Coloccini Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa
65'It looks like Coloccini has picked up a knock and will now make way for Yanga-Mbiwa. The Newcastle faithful will be biting their nails and hoping for a quick return for their captain.
62'Red Card Mathieu Debuchy
62'RED CARD! The game has suddenly come to life as Debuchy is sent off for a reckless, two-footed challenge on Yacob. He had to go and that will wake the Hawthorns faithful up!
60'AS IT STANDS. Newcastle will rise above Tottenham level on points with the North London side and Manchester United - who both play later on today. For West Brom, they will remain two points off the relegation places.
58'OVER! Such a good chance for the normally deadly Remy to deliver, but the Frenchman puts his effort in the box high and wide after an inviting cross from Ameobi.
57'The cut and thrust tempo in the opening exhanges between these two have well and truly dampened in the Midlands rain. Surely there will be a goal in this somewhere!
54'SAVE! Foster is drawn into a smart save as Tiote takes aim from distance.
53'STAT ATTACK: Caretaker boss Keith Downing has drawn all three of his games in charge of West Brom.
51'Berahino sends Sissoko crashing to the floor and the referee blows for a foul on the midfielder.
48'The Baggies have applied early pressure here but the visitors are containing any assault on goal at the moment.
46'SubstitutionBilly Jones Saido Berahino
46'SubstitutionYoan Gouffran Hatem Ben Arfa
46'West Brom get us back underway!
It looks like Hatem Ben Arfa will be introduced in this second half. Will he make the difference?
HALFTIME - WEST BROM 0-0 NEWCASTLE. The teams go in level at the break but both sides should have scored in a game full of chances but short on goals. Cabaye wasted a glorious chance before Anelka missed as the goal was gaping just before the break. The second half is coming right up.
45'There will be ONE minute of added on time.
43'OVER! How on earth has that not gone in!? Amalfitano puts a low cross into Anelka who blasts it over from six yards.
41'BLOCKED! The playmaker fires a low shot straight at the wall and it goes out for a corner. That pretty much sums up the half!
40'Mulumbu fouls Ameobi 20 yards from goal and the referee points for the free-kick. This is Cabaye territory...
37'The game has hit a bit of a lull in the last few minutes. The weather conditions really aren't helping but as halftime looms, someone surely has to break the deadlock soon!
35'STAT ATTACK: Alan Pardew's side have scored the first goal in 12 of 19 league games - going on to win nine of those matches.
32'Both sides are looking to use the counter attack to full effect making this a really open game in the howling wind and rain. All we are missing is a goal!
30'WIDE AGAIN! Brunt, unmarked in the box, fails to hit the target with his header following good work from Amalfitano down the right again.
29'CLOSE! Amalfitano floats a corner in from the left and finds Olsson, but the defender loops his header wide.
27'MISS! Big, BIG chance for Newcastle to go in front here. Williamson nods the ball down roughly 15 yards out for Cabaye, who lashes it wide. The Frenchman has his head in his hands and should have done better.
26'CHANCE! Debucy plays a wonderful cross into the box and Gouffran flicks a header towards the backpost but fails to find a teammate.
23'OUCH! A deflected Newcastle shot means a collison between Foster and Jones. It looks like the defender was whacked on the head by his keeper and the medical staff are on the pitch. Both should be fine to continue.
22'Tiote is swarming all over Amalfitano on the byeline and puts the ball out for a goal kick - much to the frustration of the West Brom player who thought he was fouled.
20'STAT ATTACK: Nicolas Anelka has scored six times against Newcastle in the Premier League.
17'BLOCKED! Remy picks up a corner outside the area and fires a low shot on goal, but his effort is blocked by fellow Frenchman Anelka.
15'WIDE! Sessegnon plays the ball out wide to Amalfitano, who decides to shoot instead of finding Anelka in the box.
14'Newcastle seem content to slow the pace of the game down at the moment and retain possession. The Hawthorns faithful roars their team on but still no breakthrough here for either side.
12'CHANCE! Amalfitano is at it again. The midfielder gets away from Santon and swings his cross just too close to Krul, who collects.
10'The tempo of the game is starting to settle here but it remains an open game. We could have a real game on under the floodlights today!
8'The home side are coming into this game now as Brunt swings a dangerous free-kick into the box but Krul is equal to it and punches the ball clear.
6'SAVE! Tim Krul is drawn into making a standard save after Amalfitano's turn and shot on the edge of the area is a weak one.
4'It has been the visitors in their changed strip of yellow shirts and blue shorts who have started the brightest. There is a sense of urgency about Newcastle's play but neither goalkeepers have been troubled yet.
2'Ameobi is judged to have fouled Olsson in the Baggies' penalty area. The free-kick is taken by keeper Foster.
1'The referee gets us underway as Newcastle kick from right to left.
Before kick-off there will be a minutes applause for former Baggies chairman John Silk, who sadly passed away yesterday following a short illness. He was 89.
Both sets of teams are ready in the tunnel...kick off is just moments away!
Meanwhile Alan Pardew makes just one change to the Mapgies first eleven today by bringing in Shola Ameobi for Vurnon Anita. The Geordies have enjoyed a fruitful season so far on the road - can they keep that form up today?
The major talking point in the Baggies' line-up is that Nicolas Anelka - who is being investigated by the Football Association following his controversial goal celebration last time out against West Ham - starts at the Hawthorns. Chris Brunt also makes a return following a back injury.
Newcastle (4-3-3): Krul; Debuchy, Coloccini, Williamson, Santon; Cabaye, Tiote, Sissoko; Remy, Shola Ameobi, Gouffran. Subs: Elliot, Haidara, Yanga-Mbiwa, S.Taylor, Anita, Ben Arfa, Cisse.
West Brom (4-5-1): Foster; Jones, McAuley, Olsson, Ridgewell; Mulumbu, Yacob, Amalfitano, Sessegnon, Brunt; Anelka. Subs: Myhill, Vydra, Berahino, Gera, Morrison, Long, Lugano.
Good afternoon and Happy New Year to you all! Welcome to this Premier League clash between West Brom and Newcastle. I am Hayden Gribble and I hope you party animals are ready to see in 2014 with a game to remember here. Well, here's hoping, eh! The team news will be with you shortly.

Review – Touch My Katamari
It's Katamari! Doo do do dooo do do do dooooo do do!
We're singing the Katamari song because 1) we're professional games reviewers 2) it's brilliant, we love Katamari and it's everything we like about videogames. Original idea. Eccentric design. Emphasis on fun. It's not a game that wrestles with an emotional plot nor subjects you to a thousand cutscenes nor gives in to the latest trend du jour weighing games down. It's just a game. And a bloody good one at that.
If you've somehow avoided the Katamari cult, the idea of the game is that you roll a ball into things. Small things at first, which makes the ball grow, which lets you collect bigger things, and so on. You roll around the world collecting rubbish. You're a glorified binman with sugary Japanese pop rattling around your green cyclinder head. That's it.
And yet, collecting things to become bigger and bigger is strangely addictive. It's partly because you never quite have control over the ball you're rolling around the world, which is supposed to be round but winds up distorted and twisted into unpredictable shapes by all the rubbish you pick it.
Crucial moments where you tumble off the level isn't blamed on wonky controls or bad luck. Instead, you feel like it was your inability to control the weirdly-shaped asteroid of rubbish you're rolling around. You always feel like you can improve.
The other side of it is you want to see what weird and wonderful designs Katamari throws up next. It's a surreal, boxy world filled in with pastel colours and with more personality on a single level than most dare to attempt across an entire game.
As the levels get bigger, so do the designs and you'll revel in what you can roll up as levels progress and the scale increases – dice, playing cards, food become people, trees, buildings. Grow your Katamari enough and everything is a target.
Oh, but look at us, talking all serious about a game where you can roll up a dog while doo doo dooo dodododo doooo songs play. It's just fun. Touch My Katamari has the option to stretch your ball (ahem) flat or squash your ball (ahem) into a thin shape using the rear touchpad yet they add little. Nice they're there but not necessary.
Likewise, it's not perfect. We wish you could skip the text when the King of Cosmos is rambling on and on about how to play Katamari, but we suppose he has to be there, given unskippable warnings to people wondering why they're playing as a little man trying to roll a massive ball into a dog.
It's not the game you want to justify your purchase of a Vita, as it won't have you signing the merits of its various technical features and thanking the Lord for a rear touchpad. But it's something more important than that – fun. And isn't that the main reason you bought a Vita?

Walker close to his return but Spurs have injury doubts ahead of trip to Hull
PUBLISHED: 15:00 21 November 2014 | UPDATED: 17:21 21 November 2014
2014 Getty Images
Mauricio Pochettino says Kyle Walker has returned to training and could return in December – but the Spurs boss has injury concerns ahead of Sunday's trip to Hull.
Walker has not played a competitive game since March, suffering a pelvic injury which ruled him out of the World Cup, and eventually having surgery at the start of September.
But Pochettino said today: "He's close, he started to train with the group this week. He's getting better, he's ok but after his long injury we need time to recover his feeling and his form and for him to be fit and have the facility to play. He's close, maybe [he can come back] in the next few weeks."
Pochettino is sweating on the fitness of a handful of players as Spurs prepare to resume their Premier League campaign at Hull City on Sunday – although he is keeping his cards close to his chest.
"We have some doubts," he said. "We need to analyse it tomorrow when we have our last training session, but after the international break we have some problems. We need tomorrow to decide the squad that will travel to Hull.
"It's difficult to give their names because we need to analyse it tomorrow. Some players can maybe be in a position to play or to travel, but other players maybe not."

Bravo fireworks rescue slumping Super Kings
James Fitzpatrick | cricket20
Dwayne Bravo came to the Chennai Super Kings rescue to help the defending champions secure a vital four wicket victory over the Cape Cobras in a tense encounter at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
The West Indian smashed three boundaries and two sixes during a vital innings which saw him contribute 46 runs from just 25 balls after the Super Kings had slumped to 120-6 in their attempts to chase down the Cobras total of 145-7.
Bravo smashed 17 runs off the penultimate over, bowled by Dale Steyn to give the Super Kings the advantage going into the final over as the secured victory with two balls to spare.
It proved to be a disappointing end for the Cobras who missed out on the chance to record their second victory in their tears tournament and, perhaps mire important hand defending champs their second straight defeat.
Despite the early loss of Richard Levi (6) and Herschelle Gibbs (18); Owais Shah (45) and JP Duminy played a vital role to help the Cobras take control of the match before the Super Kings fought their way back into the game by restricting the South Africans to just 21 runs in their closing four overs.

They're non-fatal now, hence my happiness. :) But it's such a common newbie mistake to get the perms wrong on pbs_iff, that maybe you want the install process to complain loudly. You could test near the end if the install ended up producing a file owned by root with the right perms, and echo lots of asterisks if that did not happen. -- Pete

Better methods for determining the genetic sequence of large genomes,
or how to assemble massive one-dimensional jig-saw puzzles
UMD Collaborators: Brian Hunt, Mike
Roberts (Ph.D.
UMD 2003), Guillaume Marcais, Suzanne
The "shotgun method" is one of the ways to determine a genomic sequence, which consists of a string of bases, each represented by one of four letters: A, C, G, or T. Shotgun sequencing begin with the creation millions of small overlapping pieces of DNA called "reads", each about 500 letters long. They are created without any information about where in the genome they came from, and as they are created and read, about 1% of the letters are reported incorrectly. The problem is to put these together into a nearly correct genome. It is a grand jig-saw puzzle. We have a joint effort with several assembly teams testing some new methods on the Drosophila genomes and we have recently completed an analysis of the rat genome.
Nonlinear dynamics of computer networks
UMD Collaborators: Ian Frommer (Ph.D. UMD 2005), Brian Hunt, Ryan Lance (UMD 2005), Edward Ott, Amy F. Marinello, Russell Halper, Yiwei Chen
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the mechanism responsible for controlling the rate of internet connections. There are many mathematical models which describe how this rate changes, some models are stochastic, others are deterministic. We are developing and evaluating deterministic models in terms of their ability to predict network traffic over short time spans. Our models are aimed at capturing the dynamics of an Internet connection which experiences congestion. We are comparing our results to those of other models, focusing on cases of irregular network behavior. An important step in evaluating such models is to analyze actual network traffic data. This is not only to understand what behaviors are present, but also to facilitate new empirical models. Analyzing this type of data is difficult because certain key rate-controlling variables are not directly recorded and must be inferred. We have novel methods of reconstructing such variables leading to a greater understanding of TCP dynamics and perhaps new types of models.

UMD Collaborators: Chris Danforth (Ph.D. 2006), John Harlim (Ph.D. 2006), Brian Hunt, Eugenia Kalnay, Eric Kostelich (Prof. at Arizona State U. visiting UMD), Ed Ott, Istvan Szunyogh, Aleksey Zimin (Ph.D. UMD 2004)
All prediction is extrapolation. Our primary goal is to develop algorithms for finding the global initial conditions for weather prediction. We are using nonlinear dynamics (or chaos) theory to develop better weather initialization algorithms for use with high performance computing. The project is based on the idea that the weather – at least as exhibited by weather models – is not terribly chaotic. We develop techniques for understanding existing, whole-earth weather models using ensembles of solutions, collections of solutions with slightly different initial conditions. We recently received a Keck Foundation grant to begin this project. Our favorite model, the one we investigate most intensively, was developed by the National Weather Service. We run it at an intermediate resolution of about 3 million variables.
A Mathematical theory of observation,
In collaboration with Will Ott (Ph.D. UMD 2004), Misha Brin.
When a laboratory experiment (like a moving fluid) is oscillating chaotically, the state of the experiment is revealed only by simultaneously measuring a limited number m of variables in the experiment, such as fluid flow rates at different points, or temperatures or other physical measurements. So-called "embedding" techniques have been developed where in the chaotic attractor can apparently sometimes be reconstructed. Is the number of variables m large enough to reconstruct the dynamics? Our goal is to justify these embedding methods, or rather to what is necessary for them to work. Ruelle and Takens introduced the notion of measuring the dimension of a chaotic attractor using such ideas. Is the dimension that we compute representative of the actual dimension of the attractor? Are Lyapunov exponents that are computed from data real; if several are computed, which are real and which are numerical artifacts? In The Republic, Plato has Socrates discussing the very limited nature of observation. He says we do not see reality but only limited images or shadows of reality. We must use these shadows to understand reality.
Topological Horseshoes and other topological phenomena
In collaboration with Judy
Dynamical systems exhibit a wide variety of phenomena that must be studied topologically. When we studied topology behind Smale's horseshoes, we found the idea was much more general than we had suspected and we founds many intriguing examples. Currently we are investigating some rather difficult topology in horseshoes for the difference equation
xn = f(xn-j) + g(xn-1,...., xn-k)
where f(x) = a – x2 with a > 2 and g is small, and 1 < j < k. Note that xn = f(xn-1) exhibits transient chaos and almost all trajectories diverge. The small perturbation g makes the problem depend on j-dimensional horseshoes.
Explosions of chaotic sets as a parameter is varied
In collaboration with Kathy
Alligood and Evelyn Sander, both of
We have investigated with Carl Robert how chaotic sets can suddenly change, that is, explode, as a parameter of the system is varied. That explosions occur is an old concept. We believe there are a small number of situations that lead to explosions and that these can be characterized. We have largely done so -- for two-dimensional maps. Now we are investigating maps in one dimension and maps in dimensions higher than 2. It is a severe challenge to try to imagine what the intricate behaviors of these systems can be.
Developing tools for the numerical exploration of nonlinear dynamical systems
In collaboration with Helena Nusse and Joe Skufca (Ph.D. 2005)
Our book "Dynamics: Numerical Explorations" includes a program that allows the user to carry our many kinds of investigations of dynamical systems, but developing new numerical techniques is an ongoing effort. Most scientists only became aware of chaos when they could visualize it with their computers. But any picture that is created with a computer might be thought of as a conjecture because we may not be certain what we are seeing, and we may wonder how much of the picture is numerical artifact. Examining pictures of dynamical systems is a constant source of inspiration and wonder. One of our techniques for basins of attraction has recently given a characterization of the basins with the most entangled boundaries. These are easy to characterize in computational terms! Computation often leads to surprises and new understanding. Work with Joe Skufca includes an investigation of the chaotic saddle of a 9 dimensional differential equation system representing Couette flow. It is in collaboration with Bruno Eckhardt.
A physical realization of the Plykin attractor
(or the dynamics of a taffy-pulling machine)
In collaboration with J.T. Halbert
Early investigators of diffeomorphisms naturally focused on the simplest case first: uniformly hyperbolic maps. R.V. Plykin demonstrated in 1974 that nontrivial hyperbolic attracting sets exist for some of these maps. Does the type of attractor he found (called a Plykin attractor) arise in connection with a physical system? We hope to show that the answer is yes. We are currently studying the dynamics of a taffy-pulling machine. We expect to show that the action of this machine on taffy leads naturally to a diffeomorphism of an open set in the plane that has a Plykin attractor, if we are permitted some artistic license. It can also be reduced to an intriguing map on an interval, if we are granted a bit more artistic license. This work might have application in materials processing as when fibers like carbon nanotubes must be aligned with each other. The mathematical question of why this process works and the candy does not develop week spots can be formulated as a nonlinear Frobenius-Perron operator, where the amount of stretch is greater when the density is lower.
