"We, Your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal Subjects, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, do present Your Majesty our most humble Thanks, for the many Gracious Expressions in Your Majesty's Speech; and do heartily congratulate Your Majesty's Preservation and safe Return. It is also with great Satisfaction that we observe the remarkable Testimony Your Majesty hath given of the Courage and Bravery of Your own Subjects: And as they are very happy, who had the Honour to act any Thing worthy Your Majesty's approbation; so they and we must be ever sensible of this honourable Mention that Your Majesty hath made of their Valour, which cannot fail of being always more animated by Your own great Example. And whereas Your Majesty hath been pleased to desire our Advice; as we acknowledge it to be our Duty, so we shall ever be ready humbly to offer it to Your Majesty upon all important Occasions:"
Address to the Queen.
"We, Your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal Subjects, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, being full of the true Sense of the Safety and Happiness that the Nation has enjoyed in Your Majesty's Administration of the Government during the King's Absence, by which the Danger of an Invasion was prevented, and a glorious Victory obtained at Sea, do hold ourselves obliged to present our most humble Acknowledgements to Your Majesty for Your prudent Conduct, by which the Honour of the Nation has been so much raised, and its Security so well established."

Lebanon: Second day of protests against economic plan
Demonstrators, responding to a call by Lebanon's Labor Union, gathered Wednesday outside the Energy Ministry in the capital in protest against the government-approved economic reform plan aimed at lifting the country out of its US$41-billion public debt.
According to Naharnet, a similar protest called by the General Federation of Labor Union (GFLU) was held Tuesday near the value added tax (VAT) department of the finance ministry. The GFLU sit-in was supported by the Hizbullah-led opposition.
The plan, which was approved earlier this month by Prime Minister Fouad Saniora's government, would be submitted to the Paris III donors' conference on January 25. Among others, it includes raising value-added tax, increasing fuel prices and privatizing the mobile telecom sector.

My father is the God Hermes, messenger of the gods (as well as; trade, thieves, travellers, sports, athletes, and border crossings, and guide to the Underworld). He has the gifts of Athleticism (Particularly Agility and Speed), Cunning, Exceptional Dexterity, Thievery, all but one of these he passed on to me.
My name is Beatrix Olympia Murphy and I am a Demigod, as such I have inherited the gifts of athleticism, cunning, and exceptional dexterity from my one godly parent. My mother was named Vivienne Maria Murphy, she fell in love with Hermes and he with her, he would have done anything to protect her but unfortunately she died when she was at her most vulnerable, while labouring with me.
I was raised on Earth by my mother's cousins, having my second cousins as brother and sisters, but of course I always knew I was different and this usually resulted in my chosen seclusion and isolation. Until I met Raymond Bartholomew Sawyer, or Ray for short, a mortal with Sight who saw through my guise and fell in love with the person I'd tried my whole life to hide.
We married young and started a family, a proper family where our children know who they are and we encourage them to be true to themselves. We were blessed with four bouncing boys;
Our first son we name Sebastian Alexei Sawyer. He has thick, curly blonde hair that we allow to grow down to his shoulders; he is beautiful, kind and caring, and has intelligent blue eyes. From me and his maternal grandfather he takes the gifts of cunning and exceptional dexterity, though it comes apparent with age that his cunning he only uses for good, unselfish reasons.
Shortly after our first son's second birthday, we welcome two more boys to our little family; twins Caleb Andrew and Isaac Ajax Sawyer. The boys are identical with strawberry blonde locks and blue-grey eyes, they are gifted with athleticism and cunning, and grow up to become amazing runners and gymnasts though their personalities lack the compassion of their siblings.
Finally, our baby of the family Atticus Phoenix Sawyer, was born just over five years after the twins. He was gifted with athleticism and exceptional dexterity, along with platinum blonde hair and bright blue eyes. Like his oldest brother, Atticus grew to be empathetic, selfless and thoughtful, he brought love and light to every room, every activity, everything he did. The apple of everyone's eye, especially Grandfather Hermes, who watched from afar.
Trixie (38) and Ray (40) with: Seb (17), Caleb & Isaac (15), and Atticus (10).Britberry * Trainee Teacher

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 (UPI) -- A near-record number of women are likely to run for the U.S. Senate next year but that may not result in more female senators, political experts say.
While the Democratic Party is expected to have at least 10 women running, including six incumbent senators, the Republicans may have only two, Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, who is seeking a fourth term in the Senate, and former Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle, The New York Times reported. That means a repeat of the Republican victories in 2010 could actually reduce the number of women in the upper house.
Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University in New Jersey, said a majority of female officeholders across the country are Democrats.
"If it is a bad year for Democrats, it could be a bad year for women in the Senate," she said. "It is still early. Right now the numbers are lining up in such a way that it could go either way."
One female senator is retiring, Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas.

Promises made
Chief Theresa Spence's hunger strike focuses attention on the Crown's not keeping faith with the first nations that entered into historic treaties with the Crown (First Nations Bringing Treaty-Rights Challenge To The Courts – Jan. 8).
Unfortunately, the track record of broken promises continues in relation to aboriginal peoples who are partners with the Crown in modern treaties that cover Arctic and sub-Arctic Canada. For example, in 2006, Nunavut Inuit were forced to sue the Crown for numerous fundamental breaches of the 1993 Nunavut Agreement. These breaches involve, among other things, denial of economic opportunities, inadequate pre-employment training, and lack of environmental monitoring – all critical to Nunavut Inuit achieving greater self-sufficiency, a central objective the agreement. Inuit brought this lawsuit after the Crown unilaterally withdrew from negotiations, rejected offers to arbitrate, and refused to respond to the recommendations of an outside conciliator. We have won a summary judgment on one specific breach of our agreement, and our litigation continues.
In our experience of broken promises under our modern treaty, Nunavut Inuit are far from alone. Such problems are so prevalent, a coalition uniting all modern treaty groups has been established precisely for the purpose of having those treaties appropriately honoured. It is time to learn from history, rather than repeat its mistakes. Promises made must be promises kept.
Cathy Towtongie, president, Nunavut Tunngavik
Yes, the recipient of public funds must document what is done with the monies (Attawapiskat Audit Raises Questions About Millions In Spending – Jan. 7). But government officials can't just shovel more than $100-million out the door and say, "Have a nice day."
Where is the government's responsibility in the findings of the Attawapiskat audit?
Graham Steeves, Port Elgin, Ont.
Do the math: $104-million, over six years for 1,500 people, works out to about $11,555 per person per year. Perhaps not abject poverty, but that would depend on your definition of "abject" (A Way Forward – letters, Jan.8).
Linda Armstrong, Toronto
At a time when so many comments on native affairs are extreme, either in their support or criticism, Jeffrey Simpson's criticism of the very idea of uneconomic remote communities, rather than the people living there, is refreshing (Nothing More Than A Dream Palace Of Memory – Jan. 5).
The reserve system has now had more than a century and a half to prove workable but has, instead, shown itself to be a miserable failure. Unfortunately there are still those, including The Globe and Mail, judging by its lead Saturday editorial (Fish Broth Is Not A Solution – Jan. 5), who believe that reserves – racially segregated rural settlements – can be turned into "viable economic Indian communities." Sorry, but one more meeting on Jan. 11 between chiefs and politicians, just like the many meetings before it, is going to do nothing toward that end.
Richard D. McDonell, Red Deer, Alta.
Bank on big fees
You are surely correct that there is not enough banking competition to save Canadians from high ATM fees, non-negotiable account charges, or stunning credit-card rates (But About Those Fees – editorial, Jan. 5).
Big banks (Bank-Fee Value – letters, Jan. 8) have been peculiar evangelists for a competitive market because they offer the advice from behind ownership barriers that provide a measure of protection from foreign entry. Among the fee levels that result have been some of the highest mutual fund fees in the world.
Robert R. Kerton, Waterloo, Ont.
Disputed lessons
Re Minister Offers Little But 'Hope' For Peace In Public Schools (Jan. 8): Hope is at best a placebo; more typically, it is a narcotic that will remove the ability and desire to ask those awkward questions. When a politician offers you hope, you may well conclude that he or she has no plans to make your life better, no intention to act, and likely no ability to achieve results.
One simple step could solve our education-related problems and open up countless opportunities, and that is the school voucher – accountability and control placed in the hands of every parent. Hope-peddlers would soon be unemployed, and they know it.
Brian Beckett, Nepean, Ont.
The language in the Ontario government's announcement that the repeal of Bill 115 will restore the right to strike to teachers seems just a bit disingenuous. A right, by definition, is something that cannot be absolved, withdrawn, or periodically ignored. To speak with accuracy in a language that respects recent political reality, the Liberals should state that: "Teachers will perhaps henceforth be permitted to strike, provided that it occurs at a time of mutual convenience for teachers, students, families and government – and provided that any future strike does not transgress acceptable levels of political fallout."
Mark Jurdjevic, Toronto
And the mayor is …
The multiple-ballot runoff system used to fill vacancies by Toronto City Council suggests a solution for replacing Rob Ford, if he loses his appeal (Ford's Lawyer Fights To Win Appeal – Jan. 8). All councillors – including Mr. Ford, to give him his second chance – should stand for mayor. After each ballot, the councillors with the fewest votes should drop off the ballot, until one councillor receives a majority of fellow councillors' votes. Whoever achieves a majority of councillors' votes is mayor until the next election.
Michael D. Levin, Toronto
Fans fight back?
With the fight over fans' money now complete (NHL Lockout – Jan. 8), I propose an Un-Ooccupy The NHL movement. I'd love to see fans boycott each team's home opener. Just one game. The owners and players temporarily locked us out. I propose temporarily locking them out.
Peter Noble, Calgary
Comparing hockey to religion is interesting since so many call religion "irrelevant" (The Church Of Hockey Gets Ready For Mass Again – Jan. 7). I wish that were so for hockey. I have no time for million-dollar hockey players or billion-dollar owners.
Real hockey takes place down the street or in the local rink. Now that's a relevant religion I can watch.
Rev. John Pentland, Calgary
Same old, same old, indeed. NHL teams aren't even on the ice yet and sports writers are already dumping on the Leafs (Same Old, Same Old – Sports, Jan. 8).

Top intel official downplaying North Korea - Grover's anti-tax Hill cavalry - Mental health advocates cringe at Biden remarks - CISPA to the floor - 5 fights on Amtrak reform
WELCOME TO THE PRO REPORT, where we just got off the phone with anti-tax celeb Grover Norquist for a few items below. Send me your best policy news items and gossip: email@example.com. Or tweet me @ RachaelMBade and follow @ POLITICOPro.
Story Continued Below
TOP INTEL OFFICIAL DOWNPLAYING NORTH KOREA. Josh Gerstein has the skinny on a House Intelligence Committee hearing for POLITICO: "Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said Thursday that despite the fusillade of hostile threats in recent weeks from North Korean President Kim Jong Un, tensions surrounding the reclusive government in Pyongyang are not as great as they were at two key points in the 1960s and 1970s. Clapper said he was working in signals intelligence in 1968 when North Korea captured an American surface spy ship, the Pueblo, including 82 crewmembers, and he was working at U.S. Pacific Command in 1976 when two Army officers cutting down a tree in the demilitarized zone were killed with axes by North Korean forces." http://politi.co/10ZYz4r
FRESH WARNING: President Barack Obama warned North Korea on Thursday afternoon that his administration will take "all necessary steps" to defend the United States if necessary. "Now is the time for North Korea to end the kind of belligerent approach that they've been taking and to try to lower temperatures," he said in the Oval Office after a meeting with United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, per POLITICO's Jennifer Epstein.
GROVER'S ANTI-TAX HILL CAVALRY. Anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist will be on Capitol Hill at 10 a.m. tomorrow to rail against Obama as a cold-hearted, tax-hiking machine. C-SPAN will carry the event. The occasion? Taxes are due Monday. Oh, and Obamacare taxes are taking effect, and now the president wants another $580 billion in revenue. "It's the perfect storm of tax increases," he tells me, warning that tomorrow, we're "going to see the GOP show more ankle on the direction they're going in taxes." Joining him: Majority Leader Eric Cantor; Senate Finance top Republican Orrin Hatch; and Ways and Means Republicans Kevin Brady, Devin Nunes, Tom Price and Reid Ribble.
BUT...WAIT FOR IT: CHAINED CPI INFIGHTING? They may stand united in their loathing of levies, but the little gathering might field questions on one area of obvious disagreement. Norquist's group Americans for Tax Reform has pegged the changes to the Social Security inflation rate — a GOP proposal included in Obama's budget — as a $100 billion tax increase on the middle class. That means it violates Norquist's famous anti-tax pledge — a headache for Republicans, most of whom applaud the calculation tweak. If it were accompanied by tax cuts, however, it wouldn't violate the pledge, he said. Norquist also downplayed his group's disparate views with the GOP on chained CPI in an early evening interview with Pro Report, saying it's really no big thing because Democrats will never go for it on its own: "It's never going to happen because Democrats won't let it happen," he said.
GROVER: JINDAL DID NOT SURRENDER ON TAX REFORM. Flashback a few days: News broke that Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal dropped his ambitious tax reform plan to eliminate income taxes. Norquist's view: Wrong! He even phoned Jindal after reading the news to find out what was up. Norquist called those headlines "misguided" and said Jindal merely opened up the conversation to his statehouse, allowing them to take the lead. "It was a bad headline," he said. It's only a matter of time before they throw out income taxes, he said.
SCOOPLET: MENTAL HEALTH ADVOCATES CRINGE AT BIDEN REMARKS. Vice President Joe Biden on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" today urged his boss Obama to push for a "multimillion-dollar investment" to study what motivates violent behavior in the mentally ill. "The mentally ill don't all of a sudden say, 'I have a high capacity magazine for the last 20 years or the last five years or the last two years; you know what, I think I'm going to go kill people.' That's not how it happens," he said.
But at least one expert thinks prioritization on motive is misguided, noting that money could be better used by helping those who need it. "We think the administration and Congress could go even further by ensuring that there is access to appropriate community mental health services for these young people in need," Chuck Ingoglia, the vice president of public policy at the National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare, tells the Pro Report in an email.
FLAG IT: CISPA TO THE FLOOR. Pro's Tony Romm has learned the House will consider a cybersecurity package next week, according to a spokesman for Majority Leader Eric Cantor. Some context: "It's just the beginning, though, of the House's work on cyber. As Cantor himself outlined in a memo to lawmakers earlier this month, there's going to be an 'aggressive push to combat costly cyberattacks ... throughout the spring and summer.' Even after this week, there's more legislative legwork to do on the issues of liability protection, critical infrastructure and more."
5 FIGHTS ON AMTRAK REFORM. "Former House Transportation Chairman John Mica is putting everything on the table for Amtrak reform. That includes a cup of coffee and a hamburger," writes transportation reporter Burgess Everett after today's hearing with Amtrak CEO Joe Boardman. Watch for fights over: 1) The $80 million it loses in food each year, including the $1.60 on every cup of joe. 2) Long-distance train service, easily overshadowed by speedier planes. 3) Whether or not to privatize. 4) Whether to force states to pay for rails that start and end in their borders. 5) Whether fast trains are worth the money. http://politico.pro/17tASFv
GOP TO FCC ON DISCLOSURES: DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. 13 GOP senators, including Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and led by firebrand Ted Cruz of Texas, are warning the FCC against revealing the funders of political advertising. That's their territory, they say, writing that "political issues should be left up to Congress" in a letter intercepted by Pro's Brooks Boliek. They're accusing the agency of trying to implement the DISCLOSE Act that failed to pass Congress last year. It would have required tax-exempt groups involved in political advertising to disclose donations of $10,000-plus. http://politico.pro/120gxFw
AND SUNLIGHT TO GOP: GET OVER IT. Lisa Rosenberg, government affairs consultant at the Sunlight Foundation, a big backer of the DISCLOSE Act, writes in to the Pro Report: "Senate Republicans are again trying to keep the public in the dark about who is paying for elections with this latest complaint. It's the FCC's responsibility to write regulations that would disclose information about political ad buys. In exchange for the use of the public spectrum, broadcasters are required to serve the needs of the American people. This type of disclosure satisfies that requirement. Information about political advertising is already supposed to be public; having it buried in filing cabinets at TV stations is anything but. It's the year 2013 and public information belongs online. By making sure that information about political ad buys is available online, the FCC is not trying to 'implement the DISCLOSE Act by rule.' The commission is just doing its job."
HAGEL'S 'DO AS WE SAY, NOT AS WE DO' MOMENT. The Defense Department gave Congress a list of spending priorities, completely ignoring the sequester cuts. But Secretary Chuck Hagel today told lawmakers it better prepare for those cuts — even though the administration didn't, Leigh Munsil reports for Pros today: Less than 24 hours after rolling out a budget that ignores sequestration, Hagel began warning the defense establishment that it must continue to prepare for the worst. "Hagel told the House Armed Services Committee on Thursday that although the Defense Department stands behind President Barack Obama's proposal for Congress to replace sequestration with another set of long-term budget reductions, it also cannot afford to assume that will happen. 'The department … must be prepared in the event that sequester-level cuts persist for another year or over the long term,' he said." http://politico.pro/ZpvDzj

Mosaid readies DRAM-based CAM family
Post a comment
OTTAWA, Ontario ( ChipWire/EET) -- The semiconductor group of Mosaid Technologies Inc. is moving into content-addressable memories (CAMs) as the first step toward networking merchant semiconductor products the company plans for the next few years. The Class-IC CAM family will use a DRAM cell for optimal density, power dissipation and scaling, and Mosaid said it expects to move to 32-megabit densities by 2002, and a 0.13-micron CMOS process.
CAMs utilize a search-table concept to look for information and have found their broadest use in routing and packet-classification duties for data networking. The mid-density market, once dominated by Music Semiconductor and Kawasaki LSI, has expanded at higher densities to include new players such as Lara Technologies, NetLogic Microsystems, SiberCore Technologies and other startups.
Dan Mathers, senior vice president and general manager of the semiconductor division at Mosaid, said the company is hardly a stranger to networking applications. Mather's group is helping to design the single-chip encryption processor that Chrysalis-ITS announced at NetWorld+Interop and has its own relationship with ARC Cores Ltd., the company whose RISC cores are used in the Chrysalis project.
Mosaid also has worked with Toshiba Ltd. on a large switching fabric design. The move to CAMs was spurred by the belief that with an appropriate fast search-engine design, the $28 million global market for CAMs in 1998 could soon expand to between $200-$400 million.
"We've had an idea for a DRAM-based CAM cell for several quarters and surveyed users about an appropriate feature set," Mathers said. "Everyone wants to turn from binary to ternary architectures, and DRAM CAM cells give you ternary information for free."
Ternary structures allow for "yes," "no" and "don't care" states for multidimensional classification problems. The shift of Internet Protocol networks toward differentiated services and IP Version 6 fueled the use of ternary CAMs, Mather said; the more complex CAMs were not likely to be appropriate for simple hash tables in Layer 2 switches, he added.
The first fruits of the Mosaid labor are represented in the Class-IC DC2144-15T, a 2-Mbit ternary memory that can be configured as,16K-x-144 bits, 32K-x-72 bits, or 64K-x-36 bits. Mark Roberts, director of technical marketing and applications engineering at Mosaid, said that the 144-bit-wide configuration would be used for IP flow specification, while the 32K-x-72 model would be used in Layer 2/3 switching, and the 36-bit-wide option used for ATM or IP routing.
The memory can handle 66 million searches per second and is capable of processing table sizes greater than 500,000 entries. A special logic block for multiple match resolution, with its own dedicated register set, allows designers to output multiple matches in router and switch designs that accomplish several packet classification tasks in parallel.
While the device is 304 pins, Roberts said every effort was made to conserve pinouts on the memory. The CAM implements a double-data-rate function to clock data on rising and falling edges of a clock, allowing significant reduction of search data pins -- a 72-bit input in one clock cycle needs 36 search pins, while a 144-bit input requires 72 pins.
Auto learning in the CAM is accomplished in one clock cycle. Memory depth can be expanded through the cascading of up to eight memories without glue logic. The CAM has an automatic aging function with separate validity bits for empty, skip, permanent and age. One chip can be partitioned to support up to eight independent databases. An equal number of data mask registers support eight separate masks for data writes, automatic learns and multiple searches.
The DC2144-15T is a 2.5-V/3.3-V, 66-MHz device implemented in 0.25-micron CMOS and packaged in a 304-pin BGA. Sampling starts in November, with full production slated for the first quarter of 2000, when volume pricing will be set.
As Mosaid moves to a 0.18-micron process, it will offer a second-generation 2-Mbit memory at 133 MHz as well as its first 4-Mbit and 8-Mbit memories. By the end of 2001, the move to 0.15-micron CMOS will allow a 16-Mbit memory, followed by a 32-Mbit CAM in late 2002 or early 2003.

Exit Pupil
A diminutive but technical definition of Exit Pupil is the diameter of the shaft of light (expressed in millimeters) that exits a binocular's eyepiece that can enter through your eye's pupillary opening. Exit Pupil is calculated by dividing a binocular's aperture by its magnification, e.g. 42mm / 8x (for an 8x42 binocular) = 5.25mm.
Under bright light your pupil may constrict down to 2mm, causing some of the light that emanates from a 5.25mm exit pupil to go unused because it's blocked by the iris (above left in diagram). However, under dim light (like at dawn or dusk) your pupil will dilate up to 5mm or more (above right). Thus, an 8x42 binocular will deliver the maximum amount of light that your pupillary opening will accept. Next, contrast this with a 10x21 compact binocular rendering an exit pupil of 2mm:
Under bright light the compact will probably seem about as bright as an 8x42 binocular because the pupil is constricted down to 2mm (above left in diagram). However, because the pupil will dilate under dim light, a compact's more narrow exit pupil will substantially diminish the brightness of the view (above right). This is one of the primary reasons most birders choose an 8x42; it's the best combination of magnification and aperture, keeps the binocular's physical size from being unwieldy, and still delivers a bright image at moderate power.

Beijing - More regions of China faced power shortages, food prices rose and the government warned of crop damage as a cold front kept its icy grip on the country on Thursday with more chilly weather forecast.
A vast swathe of the country - from the interior southwest to its northeastern seaboard - has seen unprecedented spikes in electricity and coal use as residents sought to keep warm, China National Radio reported.
State-run Xinhua news agency quoted power grid officials saying China did not face an "energy crunch", but concern appeared to be rising over the situation, which echoed a severe 2008 power shortage caused by cold weather.
A historic cold wave in January of that year virtually paralysed China, bringing record low temperatures, transport chaos, fuel shortages and power outages across large parts of the nation.
As demand strained power grids, several provinces and regions have begun rationing electricity or imposed other restrictions, state media reported, although few details of the measures were given.
The affected areas included Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Jiangxi and Hunan provinces, as well as the municipalities of Chongqing and Shanghai, Xinhua said.
Agriculture ministry officials said on Wednesday food prices were rising as transportation crimped delivery and the cold weather damaged crops.
Prices for vegetables had increased as much as 10% in recent days in some areas, while the winter wheat industry - accustomed to years of rising temperatures - was threatened, the officials said, according to Xinhua.
"The extreme cold weather conditions this winter pose a new challenge for the winter wheat crop," Zhou Puguo, an official with the ministry's crop division, was quoted as saying.
He however insisted that China did not face a crop crisis.
China has endured an unusually early and cold winter, reaching its height over the past week with heavy snow across the north of the country and rare snowfalls further south.
A weekend snowstorm was Beijing's heaviest in decades, and Wednesday's low of minus 16.7 degrees Celsius was the lowest in the capital since 1971.
The China Meteorological Administration on Thursday forecast more snow for parts of northern and northwestern China over the next several days.
Meanwhile normally warmer southern parts of the country would see temperatures below freezing, accompanied by sleet, it said.

On the Empirical Distribution of Eigenvalues of a Class of Large Dimensional Random Matrices
A stronger result on the limiting distribution of the eigenvalues of random Hermitian matrices of the form A + XTX*, originally studied in Marcenko and Pastur, is presented. Here, X(N - n), T(n - n), and A(N - N) are independent, with X containing i.i.d. entries having finite second moments, T is diagonal with real (diagonal) entries, A is Hermitian, and n/N --> c > 0 as N --> [infinity]. Under additional assumptions on the eigenvalues of A and T, almost sure convergence of the empirical distribution function of the eigenvalues of A + XTX* is proven with the aid of Stieltjes transforms, taking a more direct approach than previous methods.

The San Jose Earthquakes have been involved in some high-scoring games in the early part of the 2005 season, so what better way to keep that trend going than a visit to the Meadowlands to take on the MetroStars.
Over the past two seasons, the Earthquakes and MetroStars have been involved in absurdly high-scoring affairs, as the two teams tied 4-4 in New Jersey in 2003 and 5-5 last year in San Jose. What's next?
"Six-six?" joked San Jose forward Dwayne De Rosario. "Hopefully we can get a win instead of a tie. Ties are becoming old these days. We need to get a win under our belt - we deserve a win."
The Quakes have opened the season with three draws in their first five matches, sprinkled around a one-goal win and a one-goal loss. San Jose has still yet to go a game conceding less than two goals, a fact not lost upon right back Craig Waibel.
"We haven't even had a game yet where we've given up just one goal - I have more of the baby steps thought process," said Waibel, asked if his team was getting closer to the form needed to shut teams out. "I think all four of us are making silly mistakes in the back - it just so happens we have different people making the mistakes every week."
In last week's 2-2 draw at Real Salt Lake, San Jose was burned by two defensive mistakes. On the first goal, center back Eddie Robinson was called for a penalty for the second consecutive week and on the second, a wayward back header by midfielder Danny O'Rourke was cashed in for a goal by Jason Kreis. Robinson has made it through just one game without incident, as he was issued a red card in San Jose's season-opening 2-2 tie with New England, forcing him to sit out the subsequent match against Chivas USA.
"I'll defend him on the red card - I still to this day don't think that was a red card. And if that's a penalty, especially the one against Kansas City, then you can call five penalties a game," said San Jose head coach Dominic Kinnear. "If you take away Eddie's enthusiasm, then you might as well not play him."
The Earthquakes will need to be at their best defensively to shut down reigning league MVP Amado Guevara, who has enjoyed a lot of success in years past against San Jose. After a bit of a slow start, Guevara scored his first three goals of the season last week in a 3-1 win against Colorado.
"Guevara is an all-around, technically excellent player," said Kinnear. "He's deceptively pretty fast - he gets out of tight situations because he's good with the ball but he also has some speed to get away from people."
Guevara is joined in the attack by explosive 18-year-old midfielder Eddie Gaven, who has netted just one assist in the Metros first four matches.
"When he decides to play, he's just amazing. Thank God he's still young because he doesn't decide to play every week," said Waibel, who will likely find himself matched up with Gaven despite missing practice with a strained back earlier in the week.
"Hopefully this week, he's on an off week for me. It's like when I played against guys like (DaMarcus) Beasley - you just pray you catch them on an off week. Get him on an average week and he'll only make me look a little foolish."
With a revamped attack from last season, the Earthquakes nevertheless find themselves near the top of the league with 11 goals in five games (only New England, with 13, has more). However, until San Jose can shore up a defense which ranks ahead of only Chivas USA in goals allowed, it might be difficult for the team to get on a roll.
"We've got a potent team going forward," said center back Troy Dayak. "If we can clean up some of the goals that we've been giving teams - we've been scoring four goals a game and two of them are on ourselves - we'll have a better chance to win some games."
The attack has been sparked by the insertion of De Rosario into the center of midfield. Normally a forward, De Rosario has been outstanding in his new role, scoring the winning goal in a 3-2 victory against Kansas City and, along with Brad Davis, helping set up Brian Ching's goal last week that gave San Jose a brief 1-0 lead.
"I have a real good connection with the forwards right now," said De Rosario. We're showing some good creativity, especially Brad and me. I think we've been doing really well, just a little unfortunate not to come away with a victory last game."
Alejandro Moreno has also added to the attack in his substitute's role, as he netted the tying goal late against Real Salt Lake with a header off a cross from Brian Mullan.
"He's definitely making my job hard," said Kinnear, who did not accompany the Quakes to New Jersey due to an illness in his family. "The thing about Alejandro is that he gets you fouls, he gets under people's skin and the goal was fantastic. It's great to know that if somebody is coming off the field, you're putting in somebody where the level doesn't drop at all."

The statement of purpose should include a description of the applicant's professional background, career goals, and the educational objectives which he/she expects to meet through the program. An applicant should be sure to include a description of his or her work experience in health care or related fields. The admissions committee places particular importance on well-specified and realistic career objectives.
Personal Statement (optional):
The Department of Health Services welcomes students who have varied cultural experiences, and who will therefore contribute to the intellectual and social enrichment of the MPH program. If you wish to have these factors included in the review of your application, please provide a statement concerning your personal history, family background, and influences on your intellectual development. This statement should include cultural and educational opportunities (or the lack thereof), social and economic disadvantages that you may have had to overcome, and the ways in which these experiences affected you. This statement can be separate from the goal statement described above, or can be incorporated into it.
Transcripts and Prior Schools:
The UW online application requires applicants to submit unofficial transcripts for each institution of higher learning which they attended or received a degree.
Official transcripts will only be requested when an offer of admission is made (international applicants) or accepted (domestic applicants.)
Minor transcripts for course-work with no relevance to the MPH degree can be omitted.
GRE Scores:
(Not required if the applicant has a PhD, JD, DDS, MD, or related degree from an accredited U.S. school.)
Have official GRE scores reported directly to the University of Washington (institution code 4854). You will also be asked to self-report your GRE scores.
English Language Proficiency:
If you are required to provide test scores as proof of English language proficiency, (see details on this page), you will need to enter your test scores in the online application.
Letters of Recommendation:
Our program requires three recent letters of recommendation, preferably from former or current supervisors and teachers. The recommendation letters should address the general topic of an applicant's suitability for the training provided by the program, and should mention how long recommenders have known the applicant and in what context.
Applicants will be asked to designate recommenders in the online application. The online application will then send specific instructions to each recommender. Applicants will be able to return to the online application to check whether the application system has received the recommendations.
Applicants are expected to be in contact with each recommender to make sure that the recommendations are sent to the online application system by the due date.
Current CV:
A current resume or CV should be submitted with the application.
Faculty Contact:
An in-person or telephone interview with one or more faculty in the program is highly recommended. Faculty may be contacted directly.
Applicants may also seek assistance with general questions from the MPH Student Recruitment Specialist: email@example.com

Chancellor George Osborne may not be plotting any giveaways in next week's Budget but he is being urged to maintain confidence in savings.
The Building Societies Association wants a First ISA scheme, with the government chipping in a first-year incentive. If the government paid 20p per £1 saved up to a cap of £100 per saver, it would the cost the Treasury a paltry £70m, falling to £35m a year, but would create half a million new savers in the first year and then 140,000 every year, the BSA claims.
ISA providers report to the taxman the National Insurance number and account details for each saver holding an ISA every year, so HMRC could identify first-time savers.

The BSA also wants rules simplified to make it easier for low-income savers to get a 10p savings tax refund, and for non-taxpayers to register for gross interest. Building societies are also repeating their past call for an increase in the subscription limit on cash ISAs to equal that of stocks and shares ISAs, and for unlimited transfers in either direction.
The BSA's chief executive, Robin Fieth, said: "Savers know the ISA brand so it makes sense for it to be used for a scheme which aims to grow the number of consumers who have some kind of savings buffer. Clearly, no single scheme is capable of fixing the UK savings culture, but it's a step in the right direction."
Nationwide backs those measures, and also wants a more generous ISA limit for first-time homebuyers who saving in a dedicated ISA towards a deposit.
The society also suggests stamp duty should be tiered, not imposed in a slab, to "overcome the current distortions created in the housing market".
The Chancellor may offer some consolation to low income savers by allowing small pension pots, perhaps up to £40,000, to be refunded in cash rather than used to buy a tiny annuity. It could benefit 150,000 people a year.
Tom McPhail at Hargreaves Lansdown says: "Reforming the small pots rule will help to unlock improvements right across the pension system. Small investors will get their money back, insurers will be able to sell better value annuities to large customers, and it will help to minimise auto-enrolment opt-outs."
Hargreaves also suggests a Long Term Care ISA, which could be passed on to dependants if not needed to fund nursing.
Meanwhile, the 40p tax rate is now catching one million more people than it did three years ago, according to the Institute of Fiscal Studies.
The rate will kick in at £31,866 in 2014-5.
Ronnie Ludwig, tax expert at Saffery Champness in Edinburgh, says: "Although pulling more people into higher tax is the Chancellor's way of paying for the increase in the personal allowance, he may feel that with the next election looming, now is the time to ease the burden."

Perches, mind-games, 'novice' Wenger, upstart Mourinho and noisy neighbours
IT took time for Ferguson to knock Liverpool "off their perch" as they won the league in 1988 and 1990, and were runners-up in '87 and '89, but after Arsenal, Leeds United, United and Blackburn Rovers took turns at the top, the balance of power shifted.
IT took time for Ferguson to knock Liverpool "off their perch" as they won the league in 1988 and 1990, and were runners-up in '87 and '89, but after Arsenal, Leeds United, United and Blackburn Rovers took turns at the top, the balance of power shifted.
Liverpool, who have not topped the standings for 23 years, watched United chip away at their record 18 titles until overhauling it in 2011 and moving to 20 this year.
Although Ferguson regularly exchanged 'pleasantries' with Rafa Benitez, the rivalry was probably at its most intense in Ferguson's first five years at United when Kenny Dalglish was desperately trying to prevent Liverpool's fall from grace.
The two Scots were united, however, after the Hillsborough stadium disaster, when Ferguson gave immediate support and did his utmost to ensure United's fans followed suit, sending a group to Anfield to pay their respects.
It is one of the most iconic pieces of sporting TV footage as Newcastle United manager Kevin Keegan lost his temper live on air as the battle for the 1996 title moved into the home straight.
"I've kept really quiet, but I'll tell you something – he went down in my estimation when he said that," an emotional Keegan ranted in reference to Ferguson's claim that teams tried harder against United. "I'll tell you, I will love it if we beat them – love it!"
Newcastle, who had been 12 points clear, fell away at the finish and United won the title by four points. Ferguson's reputation for winning 'mind-games' was cast in stone.
Ferguson set the tone on Wenger's arrival at Arsenal from Japan in 1996.
"They say he's an intelligent man, right? Speaks five languages? I've a 15-year-old boy from the Ivory Coast who speaks five languages," the Scot said.
When Wenger (pictured below with Ferguson and Alan Wiley) said that the fixture list was skewed in United's favour, Ferguson called him a novice, adding: "He should keep his opinions to Japanese football."
After Ferguson claimed that United were the best team in the league despite Arsenal winning the league, Wenger memorably responded that "everyone thinks they have the prettiest wife at home".
As the rivalry flared into the new century, Wenger finally let loose, saying: "Ferguson does what he wants and you (the press) are all down at his feet."
The enmity eventually cooled, helped no doubt by Arsenal falling away and no longer offering a challenge.
Ferguson took an instant dislike to Jose Mourinho when the upstart Portuguese coach famously slid down the Old Trafford touchline to celebrate his Porto side knocking United out of the Champions League in 2004.
So when Mourinho took over at Chelsea and finally another club was able to better United's finances, it was no surprise that their rivalry developed quickly.
Mourinho said all the right things about his respect for Ferguson, then did all he could to show he did not care a jot, revelling in the battle of words and wit.
Ferguson could not seem to shake the younger, confident, charismatic rival and only when Mourinho left Chelsea did the Scot regain his position as the unquestioned top dog of the Premier League pack.
Had Ferguson stayed, it's likely that the rivalry would have been renewed next season.
For over two decades Ferguson had paid little attention to City, even when he was on the receiving end of a 5-1 thrashing three years after his arrival.
Their transformation into one of the richest clubs in the world changed all that. Ferguson famously dismissed them as "noisy neighbours" and "a small club, with a small mentality."
However, City's bottomless budget eventually meant Ferguson had to take them seriously and, when the light blue half of Manchester finally got to celebrate the league title in 2012, with a 6-1 thrashing of United at Old Trafford along the way, it was clear there was a rivalry to take seriously.
City's Italian manager Roberto Mancini duly became enemy number one and gave the Scot new focus as he entered his eighth decade.
Just like all others before him though, Mancini eventually slipped back, forced to claim his side were as good as United even as Ferguson celebrated another title, having resumed the place from where he finally decided to retire – at the top.

I booked a holiday via Groupon with Viva for a week ½ board in Corfu. The flights were acceptable but the transfer from the airport to the hotel had been 'overlooked' and having to call them on my mobile phone from outside the airport only to be told that I had to take a taxi and they would arrange return rather than collection was far from ideal!
Anyway - got taxi from airport - got to hotel only to find that we hadn't got the 'sea view' room that we had paid £100 extra for and that the hotel was 'fully booked' and that we could not be moved. I decided to leave phoning Viva until I got back to the UK (as I had already ascertained that the hotel couldn't move me so what could they do? and also so that I could on a land line not my mobile)
When I phoned upon my return (on a Friday)I was told that I should have phoned on the first day (although there was no way they could have moved us) but it would be processed but they wouldn't be able to phone me until Monday. I waited all day on Monday - no contact. Phoned on Tuesday and I was told that it had been referred to head office and that someone would contact me within 24 hours . I waited - no phone call. Phoned the following Monday (today) - told that the person I had requested was 'in a meeting and would phone me back as soon as he was available'. Two hours later still no contact.
I'm still waiting for that phone call - I'll update this when I hear back - but I won't be holding my breath!!!

Update - Tuesday,
didn't get call back at all so I phoned again - spoke to the original person who dealt with my complaint. He said that he had emailed the hotel and was still waiting for them but would chase again today.
He also said that my 'refund' would be confirmed by the end of the week -
Written on: 26/10/2012
well it's 3:20pm on Friday and still no contact (what a surprise!) I'll wait until Monday to chase.
Written on: 29/10/2012
Monday lunchtime..... no contact from Viva.
Emailed dissatisfaction to Viva enquiries and copied in Groupon - got a phone call from Viva within 8 minutes - told that I needed to supply account details so that the refund could be actioned!!! - will wait for the outcome........
Written on: 30/10/2012
Success!! - My refund of £100 was in my account this morning.
Why it took 5 phone calls and an email is beyond me. I won't be consciously be using Viva again.

I and my wife are planning to book my trip to Crete next month. Thought of getting heads up and see what review centre has to say about them. Wasn't disappointed! I bet they work snap on grievance system because of the subject line you just mentioned. Because, they've refund your money irrespective of what review you wrote about them. I guess, I will be going with these guys. Will update here about my experience :)
