It's easy to spot Mike Modano in the hockey universe. The center is a star among Stars. Or, as Dallas GM Doug Armstrong puts it, "He's the face of our franchise."
And still a baby face, despite his 35 years and a host of recent troubles: a trusted financial adviser who mismanaged Modano's millions, his career-worst 2003-'04 season, the lockout and a near divorce from the club that drafted him first overall in 1988.

I'm hoping you'll join the photo linky party at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2016/04/worlds-best-meatloaf-recipe-wordful.html. This week there's a bonus - a recipe to share!
Maisey is clearly a much loved family dog. Gorgeous photos as alwaysReplyDelete
Beautiful photos - and clearly a fabulous family dogReplyDelete
Family dogs are great, especially when they grow up with the little ones.ReplyDelete
Awww super amazing photos as always! #mysundayphotoReplyDelete
It's such a special relationship between a child and their dog - I remember our dog so fondly, she was such a big part of our family growing up. I love how they have such a sense of hierarchy though - our dog never obeyed my little sister as she was convinced that her ranking was higher! Lovely photos. #WhateverTheWeatherReplyDelete
What a good and loyal friend for your boys. Sounds like they treat her like another sibling.ReplyDelete
Awww such a cute dog. It sounds like Maisey has such a strong bond with Jack. It's so great for both boys to grow up with a dog. They're the best companion aren't they! Great for having outdoor fun with and cuddling with at home. Thank you so much for sharing with #whatevertheweather xxxReplyDelete
Maisey looks gorgeous and clearly loves Jack! I'm sure she'll bond with Noah in time too, but probably a good idea to be a bit wary of a toddler. So many gorgeous photos of the boys and Maisy, I hope she enjoyed here treats and that the supplements work well so she can bounce around to her hearts content. Thanks so much for linking up to #Whatevertheweather :) xReplyDelete
These pictures are truly awesome. Thanks a ton for sharing them. I am also going to take my family on a week's trip to Boston. Have already made the list of all venues to explore during the trip. Eagerly waiting for the trip!ReplyDelete

OSLO, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Norway's industry minister has backed the board and chairwoman of telecoms operator Telenor despite reports of splits on the future of the state-controlled firm's chief executive.
Financial daily Dagens Naeringsliv on Wednesday reported that Chairwoman Gunn Waersted recently called on Telenor Chief Executive Sigve Brekke to step down, but that a majority of board members had rejected the plan.
Despite owning 54 percent of Telenor's shares, the Norwegian government does not take part in the day-to-day running of the firm or the hiring of managers, but is involved in the appointment and removal of board members.
"The trade and industry minister has full confidence in the chairwoman and the board, as we have in the boards of all the companies where we are owners," a spokesman for the ministry said in a statement on Friday.
Trade and Industry Minister Monica Maeland had previously declined to comment.
Brekke, who joined Telenor in 1998, became chief executive in August 2015. The company's shares traded 1.3 percent higher on Friday but are down by more than 10 percent this year.
DNB Markets analyst Christer Roth said Telenor should aim to quickly resolve the situation.
"It's unsustainable if the leader of the board and the CEO of a company are unable to cooperate sensibly ... the fact that a potential conflict is brought to light will hopefully help solve the problems, which will in turn be good for shareholders," he added.
Telenor declined to comment on the case. (Reporting by Joachim Dagenborg, writing by Terje Solsvik; Editing by Keith Weir)

This is a very good team building exercise. Do you want to be known as the technology guru whos, innovative, reliable, responsive, business savvy? Get very clear about this. If your team all agrees on your team brand, you have created a framework for them to deliver a consistent impression.
Build a stakeholder communication plan - Once you define who your stakeholders are and what you want them to know about you and IT, for each person or category, determine what the right communication is. You should consider the scope of what they worry about, and their personal preferred methods of communication, and make sure to reflect your team brand in all of your communications.
For the CEO, whatever the communication is, it shouldn't be more than one page or a 10 minute meeting. You will get credibility just by not asking for a long meeting. Perhaps an informal drop-in once per month works with your CEO. The CFO will want cost benefit information. Deliver a concise cost/benefit report once every quarter whether it is requested or not. It is also a good idea to have coffee with the CFO once a month. This is an important relationship to handle personally.
The line of business people want to know about their business. Don't give them lots of IT performance metrics. Give them a snapshot of what they most care about and buy them lunch. If you do this you will likely end up with a combination of meetings, phone calls, meals, informal personal discussions, e-mails, and concise regular reports that contain meaningful information specific to each of your audiences.
Execute your plan - Once you develop your stakeholder communication plan, treat it like any other plancommit resources, track it and mange it. It helps to assign the creation of specific reports or general communications to people on your staff, and to get your assistant to specifically put meetings and mailing schedules in your calendar.
This will fall off the plate if it is not managed and scheduled, but youll find that it wont cost a lot of time once its up and running and the benefits are huge.
Dont leave your credibility to chance. Decide what you want to be known for, and then develop a communication plan to build strong relationships with the specific stakeholders in your world. This is one of the most critical and impactful things you can do to steadily build your credibility and your base of support.

With its partially brick exterior, the new 20,000-square-foot Outpatient
Specialty Clinic clearly blends in with the Department of Veterans
Affairs' existing, predominantly brick 50-acre Vancouver medical campus.
Its curved metal-paneled entrance, however, gives it a unique identity
that is further demonstrated inside the entry with a dramatic,
two-story, window-lined foyer. The building's interior, which includes
prosthetics lab, eye care, and dental clinics, makes extensive use of
natural light throughout from skylights and windows that also allow
expanded views to the exterior. Together with the predominance of
natural colors and upgraded finishes, the clinic creates an environment
that is both comfortable and comforting, devoid of the Spartan, clinical
feel that is so typically associated with a government-run medical
facility. Earlier this year, the new Outpatient Specialty Clinic
received the Best Public Building Under $10M Award from the Associated
General Contractors' 2012 Build Washington Awards for Construction
When General Contractor Kevcon's construction team began work on the
project, they went through an extensive pre-planning in order to
effectively address the intricacies of the two-story structure.
Committing to an accelerated timeline while working during one of the
rainiest winters on record in the Pacific Northwest proved to be a key
challenge for Kevcon, who had to embrace flexibility, adjusting plans on
a daily basis to ensure that work continued on schedule. The team had to
find a way to keep everyone on the same page so that no time was lost
due to confusion. To accomplish this, Kevcon's management team tested
the capabilities of its P-6 scheduling software, utilizing it as a
day-to-day resource to not only make schedule changes, but to assign new
tasks and show the subcontractors what their often-changing production
rates would have to be to continue to meet the timeline. While the
project easily could have devolved into chaos under such circumstances,
this approach allowed Kevcon to create viable, on-the-spot plans that
everyone could review and understand.
Despite the challenges throughout construction, a superlative building
was delivered an impressive six months ahead of schedule. The ability to
accomplish that under the circumstances was directly related to the
committed teamwork between Kevcon, designer PKA Architects, and the
Department of Veterans Affairs government owner. Each participant
remained focused on making the building successful, so needed decisions
were prioritized and issues quickly resolved. Such a partnership existed
for one simple reason-to provide the Veterans of our nation's military
with a top-quality, well-constructed, well-designed facility that would
be focused on them-one that would exceed their expectations of what a
government agency-run facility would be like. The team succeeded, as the
building elicits accolades from patients and their families, as well as
those within the VA itself for both the quality of its interior spaces
and its aesthetic contribution to the overall medical campus-an
exemplary model for future VA projects.

A row over France's Roma expulsions exploded at an EU summit Thursday as President Nicolas Sarkozy rejected World War II parallels as "outrageous" and vowed to continue clearing "illegal camps".
The Paris-Brussels dispute shattered the agenda of the European Union parley and hung heavy in the air, with Sarkozy lashing out at European justice chief Viviane Reding for her criticism of France.
Reding's insinuation that the return of planeloads of Roma Gypsies to Romania and Bulgaria smacked of World War II scenarios was "a historical shortcut that profoundly hurt the French," Sarkozy said.
"These words were deeply hurtful, my duty as head of state was to defend France.
"All heads of state and government were shocked by the outrageous comments," he said.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel agreed, describing the historical parallel as "unfortunate", while British Prime Minister David Cameron said he was "shocked."
Hoping to stem the rift, EU president Herman Van Rompuy called for mutual understanding. "The relationship between states and European institutions must be based on respect," he said.
Van Rompuy said there was an EU consensus to ban discrimination based on nationality or ethnicity though member states could take domestic measures "to ensure respect of the law," on condition they were in line with EU legislation.
Though France has come in for a mass of criticism for its tough line on travellers, Reding's attack infuriated Sarkozy to the snapping point.
She also threatened to drag Paris before the European Court of Justice.
European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso -- Reding's boss -- reiterated that discrimination against ethnic minorities was "unacceptable."
Despite it all, Sarkozy said French authorities would continue to dismantle "all illegal camps," whoever they belonged to.
Originally scheduled to look at foreign policy, economic and trade issues, the summit boiled over into a blistering lunch-table dispute between Sarkozy and Barroso, head of the EU's executive arm.
Sarkozy denied he had argued with Barroso.
But several sources confirmed the dispute. Luxembourg Prime Minister said "it was a testosterone-heavy exchange" and Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov described it as "fierce"
Barroso himself refused all comment, saying it was time to move on.
But another source said Barroso "vigorously defended" the role of the commission, which polices the application of EU-wide laws governing freedom of movement for all citizens.
In other business, leaders sealed a ground-breaking free-trade deal with South Korea and mulled ways of preventing a new economic crisis.
Foreign ministers also called on Israel to extend a freeze on new settlement building in East Jerusalem and agreed in principle to help flood-hit Pakistan.
But the row between France and the European Commission overshadowed events.
Sarkozy was also quoted as telling party allies that Luxembourg, from where Reding hails, could take France's Roma deportees, which the tiny state denounced Thursday as "inappropriate."
"What we've seen in the past few days of course is a little bit unusual for Europe," said Finland's Foreign Minister Alexander Stubb.
Reding, in a bid to ease tensions, expressed "regret," insisting that she "in no way wanted to draw a parallel between World War II and the actions of the French government today."
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, for his part, argued that "the problem of the Roma concerned every country in Europe."
Italy had its own brush with the commission in 2008 when it started to register Roma living in camps, taking fingerprints and documenting their ethnicity and religion.

U.S. Senate candidate Dino Rossi and two Seattle small business owners held a press conference Monday to discuss the impact of the recently passed health care bill on small businesses and their employees. Sen. Patty Murray provided the 60th and deciding vote on the partisan health care bill which was intended to increase access and reduce costs.
Patrice Martel, owner of Pacific Star Gutter just found the costs of the healthcare plan she provides for her employees will increase by 80% next year. Ms. Martel said, "For the first time in 25 years we are facing the hard reality that we will not be able to cover our employees, who have worked for us for a combined 56 years. We want more access, we want reform, we want our costs lowered, we want to be able to buy across state lines, but this bill does none of that -- it increases our costs and reduces access."
Steve Neighbors hosted the press conference at his company Terra Staffing, which he has owned for 27 years said, "There is really nothing in this bill that reduces costs, it actually escalates costs. Where is the better access? There is none. Where are the cost savings? There are none. The things we know that could control cost are not in this legislation. We need reform, but this is not the reform we need."
U.S. Senate candidate Dino Rossi said, "Since deciding to run for U.S. Senate, I have met with business owners all over the state of Washington who would like to grow and expand. But, because of the $500 billion this healthcare bill is going to cost in new taxes, they will have to reduce benefits, lay off employees or not invest in their businesses. We need real reform that will help small businesses grow, not costly legislation that further harms the economy. Senator Murray was the 60th and deciding vote for this bill that will only hurt unemployment and small businesses across the state of Washington."
Patrice Martel wrapped up the press conference saying, "As I sat home digesting my 80% increase I thought that I'm going to call my senator, Patty Murray and tell her how I feel, but I don't think Patty Murray cares about my small business. Mr. Rossi cares about this state and cares about small businesses like mine, and he cares about this country."

Garlic Ranch Chicken Wings
Happy Tuesday! Sharing another family favorite. My family stated that these wings were amazing! I decided to pair these wings with yellow rice and veggies.
- 5 lbs chicken wings (cleaned)
- 2 tablespoons dry ranch dressing
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 Tbsp salt
- 2 tablespoons oil
If the wings are still wet blot them with a paper towel. Use a ziplock bag or a large bowl to put all ingredients in, then mix together to coat.
Use your Silpat nonstick mat or parchment paper (if you do not use a nonstick mat or parchment paper your wings will stick to the pan) line your rimmed baking sheet . Place the wings on the baking sheet (with room between each wing).
Bake for 45 minutes in a preheated to, 400F oven or until skin is crispy and the tops are golden. Prior to taking out the oven. Flip each wing upside down and bake on the other side for another 10 minutes to crisp up the bottom.

If you haven't heard of A-Audio Headphones, it's time to start paying attention. Today, the company announced their Legacy Series headphones have been awarded a "CE Week 2014 Best in Show" award. A-Audio will use the event running from June 24-26 in New York City to debut their EliteHD audio enhanced line of wired and wireless ANC Legacy over-the-ear headphones, Lyric wired on-the-ear headphones, and EliteHD earphones.
The A-Audio Legacy Series is aimed at music lovers who don't want to choose between a headphone with a great sound or a great look. Derived from the classic lines of Italian and Swiss design, Legacy Series headphones are handcrafted with 24K gold plated connectors, anti-vibration aluminum, and memory foam earcups to ensure a great fit and total comfort.
In both wired and wireless models, Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) provides a truly private listening experience that samples the ambient noise around the listener and inverts its phase, leaving only the music in their ears. A-Audio Legacy Headphones feature a unique Three-Stage Technology, allowing the listener to personalize their music at the touch of a button. Controls ingeniously integrated into the outside of the earcup, or alternately on the included four-foot-long cable with both 3.5-mm connectors and a 6.3-mm adaptor, allow listeners to adjust volume and play or pause the music, as well as answer and terminate phone calls on their iPhone® mobile phone and other iOS® devices. The Legacy's Bass Setting smoothly but assertively boosts the music's low frequencies, so that even at low volumes you can feel the beat. Unlike most traditional headphones, the A-Audio wireless Legacy headphones will continue to work after the battery dies.
The Legacy Over-Ear Headphone series comes in wired ($299.00 MSRP) and wireless ($379.00 MSRP) options, with both models available in Liquid Chrome and Phantom Black. Legacy wired models are available now, while the wireless models will roll out in August, 2014.
In addition, the new Lyric on-the-ear series ($199.00 MSRP) will be available in mid-to-late July, whereas the EliteHD Earphones ($99.00 MSRP) are available now.

New Delhi, India (PressExposure) November 10, 2009 -- Recent studies have lime lighted the harmful effects of Electro magnetic radiations (EMR) on human body which nevertheless is a devastating proven fact. Many researchers have categorized EMR as a fatal impact leading to long lasting diseases. According to Christine Hoch, ED of Autism Society of America, "People exposed to EMR develop electro hypersensitivity, a physiological condition characterized by neurological and immunological symptoms that worsen after exposure to electric and magnetic fields or electromagnetic radiation. She relayed that symptoms may include concentration problems, memory lapses, pain or pressure in the head, throat and chest, poor balance, dizziness, ringing in the ears, fatigue, numbness in the affected area, poor sleep, eye irritation, or discolored and/or irritated skin."
As per published reports, we need to know that EMR exposure is cumulative; our bodies may withstand a certain amount of radiation, indeed we need to understand that any other toxic source will add to the burden & destabilize the body. So, we need to do all we can to reduce the overall burden while improving the body's vitality & its immune health. At such Keva Industries has brought up range of products like Keva Anti Radiation Chip, Heart Guard, Stress Reliever, Stickers, Pendants & Bracelets etc. as an innovative way of reducing this burden whereby are neutralizing the negative effects of EMR.
Mr. Karan Goel, CEO & founder, Keva Industries said, "Our organization is committed to serve human beings and enhance their health by protecting them from sources that have a harmful impact on the environment. According to him, we have to guard ourselves against the hazards of radiations coming out of cell phones and other electronic devices by reducing our exposure to them, or completely eliminating them from our life-style."
Keva Industries announces the launch of Keva Anti Radiation product range for the prevention of Electro Magnetic Radiation emitted from all electric & electronic gadgets. This is the revolutionary product for the use of electronic gadget users worldwide. The Proprietary KERT American Technology neutralizes the negative effects of Electro Magnetic Radiations by changing the quality of the field rather than reducing the EMR intensity.

Fintech companies are set to ramp up competition with their banking counterparts, buoyed by changes to existing EU financial legislation. The new laws would ultimately legitimise the business model of companies such as Bankin, a non-banking service that requires users to submit personal banking data to obtain its services.
This came in response as banks launched mass campaigns to discredit fintech companies citing the risk and unreliability of the platform. The app by Bankin, which relies on the information provided by its users to optimise its service, is seen as infringing on a territory long been exclusive to the banking sector only.
Joan Burkovic, one of the founders of Bankin said that fintech companies exist to collaborate with banks and elevate the collective user experience. Thus innovating online services and encouraging a level playing field by giving users the option of comparing the services provided by various banks. This Burkovic said, is a challenge in itself as banks consider this new inter-connectivity, a threat to its long impenetrable industry. According to Valdis Dombrovskis, vice-president of the European Commission, the new laws are however aimed at "opening up the payment market to new technologies and more competition".
The update set to take effect in 2018 would allow Fintech companies to access user information easily with prior permission from the user. However this would also entail an increased scrutiny over these non banking services in terms of data protection hence encouraging the user's confidence in the legitimacy and reliability of the service. All these however at a possible increase in cost to the bank's own legal responsibilities or the compromise in security in itself.
All in all, La Zurowski, at ACI Worldwide, an electronic payments solutions provider would agree that many "are seeing it as an opportunity to experiment with innovative new services".

"Surgery for Miscarriage"
About: Dorset County Hospital / General surgery Dorset County Hospital General surgery DT1 2JY
Posted by Lostangel86 (as ),
Last year, we sadly had an ultrasound which showed our baby's heart had stopped beating. This was devasting news for us. The staff at the EPAC were amazing though, giving us time to just cry and to decide what to do next.
We received an appointment for surgery later that day for 2 days time.
However it was here the good care and appreciation for our situation stopped.
On admission to day surgery, the staff did not seem to have a clue as to why we were there and were very jolly in their 'so what can we do for you today ' welcome. Due to a complication, we were kept waiting for 6 hours for my surgery. This wait was then extended when I had to wait in the 'holding area' outside surgery with staff moaning that they didn't know about my allergy and that they had to prep a different theatre. Whilst I was waiting two members of staff came and looked at my notes whilst enquiring to each other why I was there. On discovering that I was waiting for surgery for a miscarriage proceeded to discuss bio-waste disposal bags. This is not something someone who was upset and nervous needed to hear, as it certainly wasn't how I originally saw my baby leaving the hospital.
After the surgery I received no proper discharge as the day surgery staff passed me off to another ward, who didn't seem to know what to do with me or what information to give me to let me go home. So after tea and biscuits I was forced to just leave, being told to phone in a couple of days if my discharge letter wasn't sent to me.
I did phone and was rudely told I wouldn't get one 'for what you had done anyway' trivialising an already distressing time. I still to this day have not received anything, and when visiting my doctor in December they were not aware of my miscarriage.
I feel that despite the amazing staff at the EPAC, our experience was completely let down by the surgery staff. We were made to feel like we were a hassle to the operating staff and there was no understanding shown of what we were going through.
Response from Ruth Bender Atik, National Director, The Miscarriage Association about a year and a half ago
I am so sorry to read about the loss of your baby last year.
It is very sad to read about your experience of having surgical management, especially the lack of empathy, understanding and compassion when those were sorely needed. That can only have added to your distress.
I do hope that key people in the surgical team take note of your feedback. It sounds as if they could really learn from the example of the EPAC staff.
Best wishes

Earlier this week My Local filed a notice of intention to appoint administrators, putting almost 1,700 jobs at risk.
Shortly after the announcement Morrisons said it would rehire former employees who may lose their jobs as a result of the expected administration of the chain.
"We are saddened and disappointed to learn that My Local is about to enter administration," the company said. "We want to help our former colleagues who now work for My Local. We can therefore confirm that if no buyer is found, and stores close, we will welcome our former colleagues back to a job at Morrisons."
Morrisons sold the 140-store chain of convenience stores last year but a number of stores have already been closed or sold on, putting the current number of stores at around 120.
As part of the sale Morrisons promised to guarantee rents on some stores if the business collapsed, leaving it with a potential liability of about £20m.
The chain is believed to have suffered by the poor location of a number of its stores, many of which were former Blockbuster sites.
The accountancy film KPMG, which has been working with My Local's management team to establish the future of the chain, is likely to handle the administration process if it goes ahead.

From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
● Include not only geometry, but the whole Greek Mathematics heritage until Euclid:
- infinity of primes,
- irrationality of ,
- sum of a geometric progression,
- method of exhausting preparing the way to integral calculus,
- etc.
● Points out of the main mathematical way of thinking in successive steps, where each step is explicitly based on the previous steps.
This procedure prepared the way for introducing the artificial component of the mathematical language.
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
EUCLID'S ELEMENTS(Continued)
● Makes clear the fact that the mathematical enterprise takes place in a fictional universe,whose mediation leads to the possibility to bridge mathematics with the real world.
● Shows:
- the COHESION and the COHERENCY of mathematics,
- its expansion in time,
- its synchronic and diachronic unity.
● Proves the huge number of researchers participating in the mathematical game.
Their solidarity in doing mathematics is stronger than their heterogeneity in many respects.

Realities beyond the macroscopic one
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
None of them aims to replace the other.
Sometimes the former is the framework permitting the allegory of the cave, where some shadows come from the Universe beyond the macroscopic world.
The following entities are equivalent:
Euclidean being.
Macroscopic being.
Galileo-Newtonian being.
Native speaker of human language.
Representation of the world according to our sensorial-intuitive perception and by using various prostheses to increase our muscular, sensorial and intellectual (cerebral) capacities (the most important being provided by the today computational tools).
HOWEVER: There is no sharp frontier between the macroscopic world, on the one hand, and the infinitely small and the infinitely large worlds, on the other hand. Some signs from the latter ones are captured in the former.
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
At a distance of hundred years (1830 / 31 – 1930 / 31), they are the most important shocks of the 19th and 20th century mathematics.
Conflict with common sense.
Conflict withtraditional (Aristotle's) logic.
Both of them refer to the Axiomatic-Deductive Foundations of Mathematics (Geometry and Arithmetic, respectively).
Both of them had to wait long time before being understood; the understanding came step by step and it is still active.
The impact of non-Euclidean geometry is universal.
The first systematic attention paid to Gödel's result came in 1957 with the treatise of Jean Ladrière "Les limitations internes des formalismes. Etude sur la signification du théorème de Gödel et des théorèmes apparentés dans la théorie des fondements des mathématiques" (Paris), but part of the work of Turing in the '30s was convergent with that of Gödel.
The huge Bourbakienterprise ignores both non-Euclidean geometry and Gödeltheorem.
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
Both Non-Euclidean geometries
and Gödel Incompleteness Theorem
are missing from the Mathematical curriculum in high-school and in higher education.
Most important ideas in the science of the 20th century and even some of those occurring in the 19th century are ignored by the existing curriculum and text books of mathematical education, of scientific education in general.
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
As Euclidean beings, our language cannot account for phenomena in universes considered in Relativity Theory of in Quantum Mechanics.
See the arguments in this respect proposed by Niels Bohr:
The competence of human language, of human semiosis, is limited to the macroscopic universe.
Jean Dieudonné, expressing the Bourbaki view, proclaimed:
in connection with the teaching of geometry in school.
Edsger W. Dijkstra (1988) rejects Euclidean geometry as a prototype of axiomatic-deductive thinking, referring to the large number of mistakes resulting from the use of "geometric intuition."
Such mistakes were indicated by Morris Kline (1972). He requires from Euclid the standard of rigour met by Hilbert, Birkhoff and Tarski in their axiomatisation of geometry.
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
All attempts to prove them failed.
Many of these attempts lead to statements equivalent to the initial ones.
One could make a list of statements equivalent to the Parallel Postulate.
While a similar list of statements equivalent to the Axiom of Choice was made by Waclaw Sierpinski in his book about the Axiom of Choice in the '40s of the past century. For its review, see J.E. Rubin (Journal of Symbolic Logic 35, 1970, 1, p.145).
A similar job for the Parallel Postulate was done, paradoxically, very late: Marvin J. Greenberg, Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometries: Development and History, New York, Freeman, 2007.
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
THE AXIOM OF CHOICE (ZERMELO, 1905) REPEATS THE SCENARIO OF THE EUCLIDEAN PARALLEL POSTULATE(continued)
The most spectacular and the most significant statement equivalent to the Parallel Postulate belongs to John Wallis (1663):
There exist similar figures that are not congruent.
For instance: - All circles are similarand this fact points out the deep meaning of the number π
- All squares are similar
- All spheres are similar
- All cubes are similar
- etc.
Wallis' statement explains why Euclidean geometry is strongly related to the idea of simplicity, order and symmetry of the Greek art and of the Renaissance art, practically of the whole millenary history of art.
The challenge of this attitude came with Mandelbrot's Fractal Geometry.
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
THE AXIOM OF CHOICE (ZERMELO, 1905) REPEATS THE SCENARIO OF THE EUCLIDEAN PARALLEL POSTULATE(continued)
d') The most spectacular statement equivalent to the axiom of choice came as a combination of Hausdorff's result telling that the axiom of choice implies the existence of Lebesgue non-measurable sets of reals and R.Solovay (1970): the axiom of choice is equivalent to the existence of Lebesgue non-measurable sets of reals.
János Bólyay defined Absolute Geometry as the geometry obtained from the Euclidean one, when we eliminate the Parallel Postulate
In the past century, various types of constructive mathematics (Brouwer's intuitionism, Bishop's constructive analysis, etc), have investigated what becomes mathematics via the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms of set theory when we ignore the axiom of choice
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
THE AXIOM OF CHOICE (ZERMELO, 1905) REPEATS THE SCENARIO OF THE EUCLIDEAN PARALLEL POSTULATE(continued)
The answer came step by step, for instance, in 1950, we learned that the Tychonov's theorem (the product of compact topological spaces is compact), while in 1972, we learned that the Krein-Milman theorem (the unit ball of the dual of a real normed linear space has an extreme point) are equivalent to the axiom of choice.
There is no proof of the intrinsic consistency of Euclidean geometry and no proof of the intrinsic consistency of the Zermelo-Fraenkel axiom system of set theory.
There is no proof of the intrinsic consistency of non-Euclidean geometry (be it absolute, hyperbolic or elliptic) and no proof of the intrinsic consistency of the axioms of set theory, after eliminating the axiom of choice.
For all considered geometries and for all axiom systems of set theory there are only theorems of relative consistency.
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
No YES-NO answer can be given so far.
A large part of the scenario of the parallel postulate and of the choice axiom remains valid for the Continuum Hypothesis, but W. Hugh Woodin, in a pioneering book "The Axiom of Determinacy, Forcing Axioms, and the Non-Stationary Ideal" (Berlin: Walter de Gruyter, 1999), and in a series of papers (2000, 2001) claims (in a comment by Patrick Dehornoy) that:
"For the first time, there is a realistic perspective to decide the Continuum Hypothesis, namely in the negative."
This is really against any expectations.
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
DOES THE "P vs NP" PROBLEM FOLLOW THE SCENARIO OF THE PARALLEL POSTULATE?
A similar question for the Riemann Hypothesis
Two other possible candidates for the scenario of the parallel postulate and of the choice axiom:
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
With (pseudo) definitions, absence of primitive term, and inferences impregnated with intuitive-sensorial elements, Euclid's version of geometry came in conflict with the standards of rigour emerging towards the end of the 19th century.
The first version of rigorous Euclidean geometry has been proposed by Hilbert (1899) in set theoretic terms;
Then, in 1941, George D. Birkhoff proposed four postulates for Euclidean geometry, taking angle and distance as primitive concepts;
A third version has been proposed by A Tarski in terms of first order logic, proving its consistency and completeness (Gödel theorem is not relevant here).
Having four variants of Euclidean geometry (one naïve, three formal), we have for each of them three variants of non-Euclidean geometry (absolute, hyperbolic, and elliptic), and for each of them we are faced with the problem of its consistency.
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
Just what was the weak point for scientist became the attractive point for artists and writers, in the early development of non-Euclidean geometries.
The possibility to have alternative geometries, i.e., alternative worlds, was perceived as a freedom allowing our imagination to try all kinds of directions.
All these attempts were placed under the metaphor of a fourth dimension.
Fyodor Dostoevsky, Robert Musil and Yevgeny Zamyatin – all of whom had studied engineering, seized on non-Euclidean geometry and imaginary numbers as useful metaphors for their fictional accounts of the coming-to-terms with the modern human condition.
Taken together, the writings of these three implied that mathematics was at least an accessory to the break-down of the traditional belief in God, the loss of certainty in human knowledge and at the same time an extreme and false rationality.
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
DOSTOEVSKY'S YEARS"THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV"AND NON-EUCLIDEAN GEOMETRIES(Continued)
Both Ivan and his devil in Dostoevsky's "The Brothers Karamazov" (1880) explore the relationship between changing ideas about geometry and changing ideas about God.
Paralleling the common 'if, then' arguments of mathematicians, Ivan declares to Alyosha that if there is a God and he created the world, he created it according to Euclidean geometry.
Dostoevsky however was acquainted with non-Euclidean geometries and so Ivan soon thereafter refers to
"geometricians and philosophers, and even some of the most distinguished who doubt whether the whole universe […] was only created in Euclid's geometry; …[and who] dare to dream that two parallel lines …may meet somewhere in infinity"
(Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov, transl. C Garnett, ed. R.E. Matlaw 1976, New York: Norton, p.216.)
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
DOSTOEVSKY'S YEARS"THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV"AND NON-EUCLIDEAN GEOMETRIES(Continued)
Accepting the non-Euclidean geometries, even as he temporarily ignores their human creator, Ivan suggests furthermore that minds that can entertain only a 3-dimensional Euclidean Earth are incapable of deciding if God exists or not.
According to D.E.O. Thompson,
"What Ivan is really aiming at, is the idea that,since non-Euclidean geometry is not of this world, God is not of this world"
(1987:77 "Poetic transformation of scientific facts," Dostoevsky Studies 8, 73-91)
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
Herbert G. Wells, Oscar Wilde, Joseph Conrad, Ford Madox Ford, Marcel Proust and Gertrude Stein are attracted by a possible fourth dimension.
Musicians such as Edgar Varèse, George Antheil, Alexander Skriabin see in the fourth dimension a higher reality.
Arnold Schönberg's atonal music reflects one of the persistent topics related to the fourth dimension: the inadequacy of human language to the new reality of the higher dimensions.
It is also well known the involvement of hyperbolic geometry inMaurits C. Escher's works (due partly to his collaboration with the great geometer H.S. MacDonald Coxeter).
This is another way to express Niels Bohr's ideas about the crisis of the human semiosis when coping with phenomena beyond the macroscopic universe.
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
BEFORE THE SCIENTISTS, YEARSARTISTS AND WRITERS ENJOYED NON-EUCLIDEAN GEOMETRIES(Continued)
Science Fiction took advantage of non-Euclidean geometry.
The horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft introduces many unnatural things which follow their specific laws of geometry.
The main character in Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, refers several times to Riemannian geometry.
The Romanian poet Nichita Stănescu opens his cycle Laus Ptolemaei (1968) with a so-called Postulate:
"Two different things cannot stay in the same place"
and then he adds ironically that this Postulate does not belong to Euclid.
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
BEFORE THE SCIENTISTS, YEARSARTISTS AND WRITERS ENJOYED NON-EUCLIDEAN GEOMETRIES(Continued)
Nichita Stănescu is addressing himself to the Geometer:
"Old, non-human Euclid,you have trusted a unique world,with non-human postulates"
Is there here the feeling of the need of freedom opened by the fourth dimension and by non-Euclidean geometries, pointing out the multiplicity of geometries fitting the multiplicity of realities (revealed by the Relativity Theory and by Quantum Mechanics)?
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
A guide in bridging visual arts and non-Euclidean geometry is Wylie Sypher's Rococo to cubism in art and literature (Vintage Books, New York, 1960).
With cubism, we repeat the Renaissance's mentality, when science was an aspect of art and the painter was mathematically educated.
"Rodin complicates the old 3-dimensional scenographic space […], there is with him a protest against the Euclidean space, but without having a richer, more advantageous structure. He should need the relativistic space-time."
"Cézanne is more clever, but we should not follow his advice, requiring to represent nature by means of cylinder, sphere and cone […]. Although almost illiterate, he had a strong perception of Bradley's philosophy and of Einstein's, Riemann's, Clifford's and Gauss's works."
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
WITH CUBISM, YEARSPAINTING MOVES FROM EUCLID TO THE NON-EUCLIDEAN WORLD(Continued)
In 1875, Clifford observes that geometry's laws cannot be applied to small portions of the space, comparable with small hillocks; distortions spread as the waves.
Van Gogh had perhaps this move when he had to paint the extremely strong locally curved spaces in embankments and water.
As Francastel observes, cubism is a product of modern thinking, because it is based not only on new techniques, but also on a rich philosophical and scientific speculation.
Cubism realizes a mutation in the representation of the 3-dimensional space, because it is no longer reported to a fixed viewpoint. Things appear in multiple relations and change their appearance with respect to the adopted viewpoint. In their turn, the number of viewpoints increases, depending on time and light.
As in Renaissance, cubism opens new possibilities to see the world. Cubism may be ahead with respect to science's modernity.
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
WITH CUBISM, YEARSPAINTING MOVES FROM EUCLID TO THE NON-EUCLIDEAN WORLD(Continued)
The artist may be privileged with respect to the scientist, because he captures before the scientist the mentality of his time.
Picasso's Guernica appears long time before the annihilation of Hiroshima, Dostoevsky penetrated the human unconscious before Freud, cubism is, in some sense, a preface to Relativity Theory.
By the revolution it produced in the way we represent the world, cubism has created a cinematic style. Cubism has rejected the Renaissance illusions of the 3-dimensional space.
In the same order of ideas, José Ortega y Gasset questions the existence of some thing more artificial than Euclidean geometry, which gave the foundation of painting before cubism.
Cubist painting solves the old conflict between primary, mathematical properties of objects and their secondary, material, sensorial properties. Accepting the plurality of the worlds, cubism is bridging perfectly the plurality of the geometries.
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
András Prékopa has already provided a very comprehensive historical and cultural account of non-Euclidean geometries in Non-Euclidean Geometries: János Bolyai Memorial Volume "The revolution of János Bolyai", p. 3-60, Berlin: Springer, 2006.
Although not so easy, aspects that were not considered there were intended to be approached here.
As partly illustrated so far, in mathematics, the non-Euclidean ideas spread in all fields.
The universality of hyperbolic geometry is perhaps the most visible.
In the '80s, of the past century, hyperbolic geometry became the protagonist of the program proposed by William Thurston (Fields Medal), aiming to assign a canonical structure to every 3-dimensional variety.
In computer science, a new problem appeared: computer's dependence on the underlying space-time geometry; different geometries yield radically different computers.
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
NON-EUCLIDEAN GEOMETRIES EVERYWHERE YEARS(Continued)
Hyperbolic geometry is involved in bio-computing and in molecular computing.
M. Margenstern, working in molecular computing and in cellular automata, considers various types of hyperbolic tilings (Journal of Universal Computer Science 9(5) and 10(9), Fundamenta Informaticae 56).
He proves the undecidability of the tiling problem for the hyperbolic plane.
A hot and controversial problem is the structure of the visual space.
Most arguments favor the non-Euclidean variant.
In this order of ideas, a more interesting result comes from the school of Jean Piaget, concerning the way children perceive the space and arguing that the topological and non-Euclidean properties are recognized by children before they learn to recognize the Euclidean properties (Piaget and Inhelder, The child's concept of space, Routledge and Kegan Paul, London, 1956).
From the Euclidean to the Non-Euclidean Paradigm
NON-EUCLIDEAN GEOMETRIES EVERYWHERE YEARS(Continued)
In the same order of ideas, Patrick Heelan, in Space Perception in the Philosophy of Science, (University of California Press, Berkeley, 1983, 163-164) argues that a certain non-Euclidean (hyperbolic) visual capacity precedes the Euclidean perception.
In other words, the visual and the representation of space are, in their initial form, organized according to some non-Euclidean patterns and only later, by experience and education, an extension takes place to the Euclidean aspects.
The non-Euclidean, initially conceived as a paradoxical phenomenon, proves to be in the very nature of human being.
Together with the Euclidean, it accounts for the complexity of the reality.

So how do you make money on LinkedIn?
By building relationships. The overall proposition of Facebook and Twitter is to build a large list of followers/friends. On LinkedIn you are building a network. You make money on LinkedIn based on the strength of your network. You determine the strength of your network based on the following formula: V+C+R+I = P. The acronym equation stands for: Visibility + Credibility + Reach + Influence equals Profitability.
Let me explain. The Referral Institute has the VCP model which consists of three distinct business stages. People need to first know who you are -- Visibility; and then they need to trust you -- Credibility. It is only when they both know you AND trust you will they feel confident in doing business directly with you and/or indirectly refer business to you, hence -- Profitability.
The R + I (Reach and Influence) parts of the formula are what truly make LinkedIn so powerful. The number of people in your network determines the reach of your network. The quality of the relationships determines your influence within your network.
So you make money on LinkedIn by building a large network of people over which you exert a lot of influence. The best way to do this is by focusing on adding value to your network. The more value you bring to your network, the more influence you will enjoy. And the more influence you enjoy, the more you will be able to turn it into financial gain.
The two best ways I know to add value to your network are to share useful information and to connect people. Your goal is to position yourself as the "go to" person in your network when anyone needs anything. When you do this, you'll be in an excellent position to monetize your LinkedIn network. The reason for this is because every time you help someone in your network, you build a new form of currency called Relationship Capital (RC). RC is based on the law of reciprocity and the fact that humans are very social beings. The more we help others, the more others will want to help us. And when the time calls for us to ask for help, we will receive it ten fold.

Essendon coach James Hird will have the 2013 Anzac Day medallist in his side for the showpiece match this year but he isn't quite sure how to stop last year's winner.
David Zaharakis, who was best afield in 2013, has been cleared to play despite knee trouble.
But the 2012 and 2014 medallist Dane Swan looms large on Hird's mind as he looks to steer the Bombers to just their second Anzac Day win in six years.
Hird watched Collingwood's dominant round-three win over St Kilda with interest, concluding his side had a hard task on their hands.
"They were pretty comprehensive against St Kilda after quarter-time," Hird said.
"Swan to me looked like he was back to his 2010, 2011 form.
"Both (Scott) Pendlebury and Swan have had pretty good days against us but we're pretty determined that that won't happen this week."
It's unlikely that either Pendlebury or Swan will line up at the first bounce with a tagger on their shoulder.
Swan's 98 touches and five goals in the past three Anzac Day matches makes him a likely candidate though Hird said he'd wait and see how the game unfolds before clamping down.
"We may apply a tag to one of their midfielders and we'll wait and see how the day progresses," he said.
"We're confident with our midfield we can control anyone."
While there was doubts around the fitness of Zaharakis and Jake Carlisle (hip), the pair were guaranteed to line up by Hird on Friday.
"Unless (Zaharakis) gets sick overnight or falls out of his bed or something new he'll definitely play," he said.
"All players have something not 100 per cent about them but he's OK to play.
"Jake's ready to play … we're very confident they'll both play well."
Collingwood has brought inside midfielder Taylor Adams into their side at the expense of the taller Patrick Karnezis, suggesting they expect a tough battle around the ball.
Courtenay Dempsey will return for the Bombers and play off half-back in the absence of Jason Ashby (dropped) and Adam Cooney (hamstring).
Hird hopes the inclusion of youngster Will Hams for his first match in almost two years can give his side a boost.
"Will's had a tough 12 months with some personal issues and injury last year," he said.
"He's inspired us all with what he's done over the last four or five months and his last three weeks in the VFL has been outstanding."
Preparing to return to the biggest stage of the home and away season after 12 months out of the game, Hird said the atmosphere at the club was tremendous.
"The players are excited, supported are excited," he said.
"It's a great day for Australia.
"To be part of the game and part of the day is something we all hold very close to us."

Child born with four arms and four legs hailed as 'God's baby'
A BABY with four arms and four legs is being hailed as "God's baby".
The eight-legged child has been dubbed "God Boy" by his parents due to his resemblance to the Hindu god Brahma.
Thousands have flocked to the Indian city of Baruipar to catch a glimpse of the toddler.
A relative said: "When he first came out we couldn't believe it.
"The nurses said he was badly deformed but I could see that this was a sign from God.
"In fact, this is a miracle, it's God's baby."
But medics have insisted the baby's deformity is the result of the remains of the child's twin becoming attached to him in the womb.
Police in West Bengal State are battling to control the baying crowds desperate to see the child.
"Hundreds are crying in the streets, hundreds of others are praying and setting up camp here," a police spokesman said.
"Some are even panicking and believe this is a sign of the end of the world.
"I have never seen anything like this in my whole career."
"But we came to see because we were intrigued by all the news we were hearing from friends and others.
"When we eventually saw a pic of the child it was a wonder.
"This is truly the son of the Hindu god Brahma, who also has four arms and four legs."

Pushing a elephant up the stairs
was a lyric by R.E.M to the song "Great Beyond" . It could have easily referred to the lugging of suitcases after a 12 day break in Portugal or is perhaps a reflection of my running state of mind these last 2 months. Great holiday all the same with very hot weather. Didn't do any running - not a tap, a fair bit of walking to the pub and restaurant plus various sights- lots of that but no running. The groin was/is still feeling rather sore and the first few days of the holiday it was quite difficult. I was limping a fair bit, the wife amazed at my complete lack of mobility.
The scales don't like me either - 14 stone, a figure I haven't seen in a few years. Considering it takes 36 miles of running to burn 1 pound of weight (or 500 calories/5 miles a day) I have plenty of work to do. Mind you why be a slave to a weighing scales?
I have been using the foam roller a fair bit and it is doing the trick. Might start giving circuit training a go - will see. I have very poor conditioning - the ultimate joe runner!!! Again the question is can I be arsed anymore?
In terms of mental focus it is even harder to know where I stand. The interest in running simply isn't there. Previous years I was training for Dublin each year going for a new PB. This time of year - nothing. All those goals I set myself last December, dreaming of a sub 3.20 etc etc won't be happening this year. The Cork marathon really took it out of me.
The solution? Try get back out running. Build up easy miles (3miles for 3 weeks X 3 times a week), get the Hr down close to Maffetone levels, strengthen all that wasted muscle in my legs and hopefully get back in shape. I am thinking a base building period of 10 to 12 weeks increasing the mileage gradually. No promises made re races or speed work. Perhaps a blessing in disguise?
Sorry readers - no heroic 100 mile ultra stories here. Well done to Grellan McGrath, Thomas Bubendorfer, the Cork hurlers and of course the great Rob Heffernan on a brilliant week for sport.

"Oil change etc."
We have two European cars and have trusted Bellinger's with their care. They have done an excellent job and consistently get the job done wayyyyy cheaper than the dealer without all the upsales and high prices. They get original factory parts and have all the computers and instruments to get the job done right. I always give them a bad time about their name. They do so much more than tires.....Full Automotive AND tires.

kOmegaSSTSAS implementation in OF 2.1
I think there are errors in the implementation of the kOmegaSSTSAS model in OF 2.1, but I'm not certain.
Firstly, the production term G differs from the kOmegaSST model and the basic kOmega model, where I believe they should be consistent. OF 1.6 has a consistent formulation in all 3.
In kOmegaSSTSAS(OF2.1):
S2 = 2*magSqr(symm(fvc::grad(U)));
G = nuSgs*0.5*S2;
nuSgs = a1*k/max(a1*omega, F2()*sqrt(S2));
In kOmegaSST(OF2.1):
S2 = 2*magSqr(symm(fvc::grad(U)));
G = nut*S2;
nut = a1*k/max(a1*omega, F2()*sqrt(S2));
So, G is half the magnitude in the kOmegaSSTSAS model. I can't find anywhere in the literature where this is true, but maybe someone knows. I have tested both formulations on a turbulent channel flow and actually see a slightly better result with the new "wrong" formulation, which makes me question the wrongness.
Secondly, the related term in the omega equation is given as gamma(F1)*0.5*S2. This is how it's shown in Menter et al (Ten Years of Industrial Experience with the SST Turbulence Model, 2003) but in Menter et al (The SST Turbulence Model with Improved Wall Treatment..., 2003) it is given (using OF variables) as gamma(F1)*G/nut. Furthermore, at http://turbmodels.larc.nasa.gov/sst.html, the formulation that OF uses is said to be an error in the original paper. This also affects the kOmegaSST model in OF.
Hopefully someone can confirm these errors or knows where in the literature these modifications have been made. Thanks.
This was a bug in OF and has been rectified through mantis bugtracker with ID 0000575 (you can see the edited version in the git repository). This reduced production term was leading to a spurious reduction of turbulent viscosity.

I don't see how its wrong to train for a situation. I don't see how its wrong to prepare for any situation. I do see a problem with hiding in your shell and hoping you don't get stepped on. Sure that turtle saw you. Sure he ducked into his nice hard shell. Sure I had a nice hammer to crack it open.
Locks keep honest people honest. Simple as that. Locks are man made, and can be defeated by man. Same with Alarm systems. Cut the power to the house and what happens? Dogs can be defeated with a spray of mace. Or a sig mosquito. I'm not saying don't defend your house.
But you're always more vulneralbe outside your home. Sure you were safe monday when you went to an uncrowded mall, but what about friday night when you want to take your old-lady to the movies and its crowded so you gotta park in BFE and walk 2 blocks? Them two handi-dandi box cutters are sure gonna be effective against a couple of teenagers with whatever weapons they have, who pick the time and place they want to jump you. Scream fire and run, but animals usually chase running critters, reminds them of prey.
And so what if you think you're 6" taller and 50lbs heavier? Its a psycological fact that a criminal is more likely to attack someone who isn't confident over someone who is. Without even conciously thinking about it. I don't advocate swaggering around picking fights and p*ssing in people's cheerios. But keep your chin up, look people in the eye, walk like you're clint eastwood, he's a bad mo'fo. How many people you know want to mug clint eastwood? Everybody thinks that guy's packin.
Now for the sake of argument, say you're the criminal. And you're scoping the likely victims of tonights fun. Are you going to choose slim-diesel, walking like he owns the place? Or Mouse and wife scurring from car to car, eyes darting around like they're checking the sky for hawks? Easy choice right?
Now I'm not saying don't defend your house, or you wouldn't be safe if you were set up like Ft. Knox gold reserve. Cause you would be, right until you walked out the door. I'm saying set up like Ft. Knox gold reserve and Train like 1st group SF. And pack like Clint Eastwood. And pity the fool that even thinks about stealin your lunch-money. The only wrong answer in self defense is no answer.
P.S. Does that harley logo on your pants make you go faster or fart louder? Just had to ask.
Freedom's just a word. If I'm gonna die for a word, my word is jello...

There is a new pecking order at the tight end position with a new starter and one less player at the position as one former Scarlet Knight has decided to leave the program.
"Malcolm Bush has decided that he wants to transfer and maybe look for an opportunity to get on the field maybe a little quicker," head coach Kyle Flood announced following today's practice.
This was set to be Bush's fourth year in the program. After redshirting his first year, he appeared in one game in 2010 and then in two games last season.
Article Continues Below
He did not register any stats in those brief appearances.
Bush has been behind Paul Carrezola and D.C. Jefferson on the depth chart during the past few years, but this summer he had to contend with redshirt freshman Tyler Kroft as well.
Kroft has shown a lot of promise through the early going and has earned reps with the second and first-team offense.
"Tyler does a nice job of catching the ball. He's a willing blocker," Flood said. "I don't know he's the guy we want to line up with on the line of scrimmage right now but I think he's working his way there. I think the future's bright for him."
Kroft is currently the No.3 tight end behind Jefferson and a bit of a surprise starter.
"Right now Paul is our starter, D.C is our second and then Tyler will be our third and then Beau Bachety will be our fourth," Flood revealed.
Jefferson came into camp at a trim 244 pounds, but is still recovering from off season ankle surgery which kept him out of spring practice.
"I think D.C. is still working himself into shape," Flood said. "Whether or not that continues will be determined by how Paul can raise the level of his game and the consistency D.C. will bring to the game. Paul is the more consistent producer and performer in training camp right now and that's why he's there."
The battle between Jefferson Carrezola should continue through training camp and looks to be one of the more intriguing storylines of the summer.
