Published on January 21, 2013
(Aurora, Ill) Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) refers to blockages in blood vessels that are away from the heart. It is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases and leads to narrowing and hardening of the arteries that supply blood to the legs and feet.
"If you have PVD, the results can be dangerous and unfortunately, often go undetected," said Mamata Alwarshetty, M.D., an interventional cardiologist at Rush-Copley. "People who have PVD can have blockages in blood vessels elsewhere in the body and have a two to six times greater risk of dying from heart disease and stroke."
Dr. Alwarshetty encourages people who have any of the following risk factors or symptoms to be screened for PVD:
Free ScreeningsJoin Rush Copley for a free ankle-brachial index (ABI) screening to assess your risk of Peripheral Vascular Disease. An ABI is a painless exam used to compare the blood pressure in your feet and arms and can detect evidence of PVD. The test is non-invasive and takes only about 15 minutes.
Registration is required. Call 866-4COPLEY (1-866-426-7539) to schedule your free screening on one of the following dates and times:

Todd: Yeah, it's hard to get the stuff off the tiles. (Right) You got to scrub and scrub and it's still brown or green or whatever color it is.
Adrienne: Exactly. It's just a difficult place to get into to clean, and there's lots of small spaces to get into and.
Todd: Yeah! In Japan it's weird because they have these little portable bathrooms, you know, they're all plastic so,
Adrienne: It's easy. You just take the sprayer and spray the whole room.
Todd: Yeah! I'm convinced that they drop those bathrooms in a, with a helicopter. They just drop them right in there. You got everything, you know.
Adrienne: Easy! Convenient! Efficient!
Todd: What about laundry?
Adrienne: I don't like really doing any type of manual labor, but I don't mind doing laundry from time to time.
Todd: Yeah, I like laundry actually. I like the smell of the clothes when you finish.
Adrienne: Yeah, that's a good part of it, but I don't like to actually to do the work, washing!

Todd: Like you can pay me and I'll clean your apartment.
Adrienne: Oh, sounds good. Perfect!

Adrienne: It is a sexist comment! But it is, the going rate for a maid,
Todd: Male cleaning attendant!
Adrienne: I don't think that's what they're called. They'd still call them a maid service. Um, I don't know.I think it's about 15 dollars an hour.
Todd: Ooh! You'd pay me 15 dollars an hour?
Adrienne: No, that's the going rate. That's not what I'll pay you.

Sen. Daniel Akaka's legislation calls for fewer appointees.
A new Senate bill aims to lure more career employees into the Senior Executive Service and creates more spaces for them by limiting appointees.
The 2012 Senior Executive Service Reform Act was introduced Wednesday by Sen. Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii, and referred to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
Carol A. Bonosaro, president of the Senior Executives Association, which has long supported many of the bill's provisions, has said Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., will propose companion legislation in the House.
"We are increasingly concerned that highly qualified GS 14s and 15s are not aspiring to the SES and that current senior executives are not receiving the necessary resources to enable them to perform at the highest level of which they are capable," Bonosaro said.
"We believe the reforms contained in this legislation will make the SES more attractive to both aspiring and current senior executives," she added.
The legislation would create additional incentives to join the SES by regulating the percentage of noncareer SES appointees. It would require all Cabinet-level agencies to have at least one career SES at the principal deputy assistant secretary level for every assistant secretary of comparable positions.
Currently, noncareer SES membership is capped at 25 percent of allocated positions. The bill would lower that ceiling to 15 percent of filled positions.
If an agency has 100 allotted SES positions, for example, 25 SES members can be noncareer employees, Bonosaro explained. If that agency only fills 75 percent of their 100 available SES positions, the noncareer employees make up a third of the SES workforce.
The bill includes pay and performance management reforms. It would increase feedback given to executives regarding their rating levels and tier placements. It also would allow SES members to count bonus awards toward their high-three salary calculation upon retirement, since SES members do not receive comparability adjustments such as cost-of-living increases and all SES pay is performance-based.
In addition, the bill includes provisions to improve recruitment of SES and diversity in the senior workforce.
A 2010 SEA survey of GS-14 and GS-15 employees showed that many qualified candidates were dissuaded from aspiring to career SES positions due to a skewed risk-to-reward ratio and concerns about mobility and lack of work-life balance.
For example, in some instances, a GS-15 would earn the same as they would if they moved into the SES, Bonosaro explained.
Strengthening the Senior Executive Service is important to the federal government as more and more current SES members reach retirement eligibility. The Congressional Budget Office recently estimated the number of retirees across the federal government will grow 10 percent during the next decade.
"We want to be certain that the best and the brightest will be interested, especially when we're being hit by a lot of retirements. The retirement eligibility in the SES is very high," Bonosaro said.
Some lawmakers have been concerned about the proliferation of political appointees. When elections turn these positions over, institutional memory and experience are lost, Bonosaro said. More career SES positions could help address that.
The proposed legislation also would require all Cabinet-level agencies to have at least one career SES at the principal deputy assistant secretary level for every assistant secretary or comparable position.

Shipping Industry Urges Free Movement of Crews to Keep Trade Moving
Ships must be allowed to change over overworked and exhausted crews to help to keep trade flowing as coronavirus lockdowns shut many transit points across the globe, shipping industry officials said on Tuesday.About 90% of world trade is transported by sea but a deepening lockdown in many countries and suspended air travel have disrupted supply chains, especially for ship owners who rely on the free movement of crews to keep ships moving.The International Chamber of Shipping association (ICS), and the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF), said in a letter to the Group of 20 major economies, that there were 1.
As Oil Crisis Deepens, Hedge Funds Sense a Turnaround
Hedge fund managers sensed oil prices were nearing a turning point last week, and for the first time in more than two months started to add long positions in anticipation prices would bounce from an unsustainable low.Overall, hedge funds and other money managers were still net sellers of 19 million barrels of petroleum in the six most important futures and options contracts in the week ending on March 31.But they initiated 40 million barrels of new purchases as well as 59 million barrels of fresh sales, according to position records published by ICE Futures Europe and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
COVID-19 Impacts on Demurrage and Detention
What might not be so obvious in this COVID-19 environment, which we have grown to associate with shortages, is that counterintuitively there are issues beginning to appear dealing with the opposite situation. The Journal of Commerce has reported that "[t]he container shipping industry is marshaling a response to signs of a building import backlog as some retailers and manufacturers fail to pick up containers because warehouses are full or closed due to not being deemed essential service providers responding to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
VTT Studying Bio- and Waste-based Oils for Ships
Researchers looking for an ecologically and economically sustainable way to replace fossil fuels are exploring how suitable fuel oils made from biomass and waste plastics are for power plants and ship diesel engines.Internal-combustion engine power plants use natural gas or heavy fuel oil in diesel engines. In order for large diesel engines to be environmentally sustainable both on land and at sea, it is necessary to find bio- and waste-based alternatives to fossil fuels. These will be identified and evaluated in the three-year BioFlex project coordinated by Finland's VTT.
Factory Ship to Produce Sanitizer to Fight Coronavirus
Owners of a factory ship moored off southern France which normally turns seawater into bottled mineral water have converted it to make sanitizing solution in the fight against the coronavirus.At the start of the year, the 179-meter long Odeep One began making bottled water pumped from the depths of the Mediterranean but since April 1 the plastic bottles which roll off its production line have contained alcohol solution instead.The French owners of the Panama-flagged ship currently produce just over 43,000 of the 600 milliliter bottles a day but they soon hope to more than double capacity to over 750,000 bottles a week, according to technical director of the parent company OFW Ships

Lucky No. 13: Republican Jerry Natividad launches U.S. Senate bid
Jerry Natividad is Lucky No. 13 in the Republican field for U.S. Senate in Colorado.
Natividad officially launched his bid Tuesday, weeks after telegraphing the move, and joins a crowded field vying to take on Democratic U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet.
"I'm not stepping into it just to make a little noise, I'm stepping in it on a serious note," he said in an interview.
Like other challengers, first-time candidate Natividad is casting himself as an outsider, despite spending decades working in politics and public policy with the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and various Republican campaigns. Also like the other candidates, he's emphasizing his background as a business owner and his focus on cutting government spending and lowering the national debt. Given the similarities, it's unclear how he will differentiate himself ahead of the June primary.

My dad took these photos of us (my sister Val and me) playing among the fallen leaves on a crisp November day back in 1976.
I was four years old, the same age Clover is now. While I'm able to conjure vague bits of memory from days like it, I don't necessarily remember this day in particular.
Nowadays I treasure having these images to look back on, with their power to bring focus to a faded recollection. A little version of me running wild in the woods.
As we were driving away from Clover's pre-school the other day, the breeze lifted a pile of leaves on the side of the road, sending their bright colors up into a whirling spiral.
Mama, did you see the leaves?!
I did honey, wasn't that cool?
Her voice filled with astonishment:
Mama, I didn't know leaves could play!
I'm guessing one day she may not recall having made this wonderful discovery, but I'm willing to bet she'll appreciate that I felt compelled to write it down :)

Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel is back on the field and back to his brash ways for No. 7 Texas A&M after serving a suspension in the first half against Rice for what the school said was an "inadvertent" violation of NCAA rules involving signing autographs.
His first touchdown of the season came on a 23-yard pass to Mike Evans on A&M's next drive. Manziel scrambled for eight yards on third-and-7 on the play before the score and appeared to mimic a signing motion while talking to a Rice defender after getting up from the tackle.
Matt Joeckel started at quarterback for Manziel and threw for 190 yards and a touchdown to help the Aggies lead 28-21 at halftime. Manziel came in on Texas A&M's first offensive play of the second half and the Aggies capped his first drive with a 44-yard field goal.
He received a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after a touchdown pass put A&M up 52-28 in the fourth quarter after taunting a Rice defender.
Manziel was being investigated for allegedly accepting money for autographs from memorabilia brokers, a violation of NCAA rules that could have led to a much longer suspension.
He became the first freshman to win the Heisman last season, setting numerous school and Southeastern Conference records while leading Texas A&M to an 11-2 mark and a victory over No. 1 Alabama in its first season in the SEC.

Right-Wing Media Fearmonger About Strategic Closing Of Border Patrol Stations
Right-wing media figures are fearmongering over the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) newly announced decision to shut down several Border Patrol stations. In fact, the CBP's decision is a strategic one, aimed at focusing efforts on high-priority areas closer to the border.
Within the next six months, U.S. Customs and Border Protection will close nine Border Patrol stations to move forty-one agents closer to the southern and northern borders, media outlets are reporting, citing CBP spokesman Bill Brooks. Brooks said that some of stations that will be closed are hundreds of miles from a border and that the decision is part of a strategy to use resources wisely and "increasingly concentrate our resources on the border."
In a statement to Fox News, Brooks likewise said, "These deactivations are consistent with the strategic goal of securing America's borders, and our objective of increasing and sustaining the certainty of arrest of those trying to enter our country illegally." He continued:
By redeploying and reallocating resources at or near the border, CBP will maximize the effectiveness of its enforcement mandate and align our investments with our mission.
Nevertheless, right-wing media seized on the announcement to fearmonger about border security. The Drudge Report posted the following headline:
Drudge's headline linked to a FoxNews.com article, which has the same headline. However, FoxNews.com's article clearly explains that the CBP is closing the stations to "reassign agents to high-priority areas closer to the border."
Fox News Radio reporter Todd Starnes, in a post to his Twitter feed, wrote: "Obama is shutting down 9 border patrol stations ... and the invasion continues." (Following the June 25 Supreme Court ruling striking down several parts of Arizona's immigration law, Starnes similarly warned of "Mexican Invaders." )
Starnes also wrote: "Obama wants to close 9 border stations ... Maybe he's turning them into voting stations instead?"

The Facts
Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs that is usually caused by infection. Pneumonia can also be caused by inhaling irritants such as vomit, liquids, or chemicals. With pneumonia, the air sacs in the lungs fill with liquid or pus, which interferes with the lungs' ability to transfer oxygen to the blood.
Before the invention of antibiotics in the 1930s, pneumonia was a leading cause of death. Though it has since become very treatable, pneumonia remains a public health problem.
There are many different kinds of pneumonia, ranging from mild to severe. There are 4 basic types:
- Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), the most common type of pneumonia, is caused by bacteria, viruses, and other organisms that are acquired outside of the hospital or other health care settings.
- Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) occurs at least 48 hours after someone has been admitted to the hospital. It can be caused by bacteria and other organisms that are usually different from CAP. HAP is usually more serious than CAP because the bacteria and organisms can be harder to treat, and because people who get HAP are already sick.
- Aspiration pneumonia occurs when liquids or other irritants are inhaled into the lungs. The most common type of aspiration pneumonia is caused by inhaling stomach contents after vomiting. People with medical problems (e.g., stroke, ALS) that affect swallowing are at an increased risk of this type of pneumonia.
- Opportunistic pneumonia occurs in people with weakened immune system (e.g., people with AIDS, cancer, organ transplant). Organisms that are not usually harmful to people with healthy immune systems cause these types of infections.
Pneumonia rarely causes serious complications for healthy people under 65 years of age. People who suffer from chronic respiratory diseases or who have compromised immune systems are generally at greater risk for developing pneumonia.
The most common causes of pneumonia are infections caused by:
- bacteria - the most common cause of pneumonia in adults
- viruses - often responsible for pneumonia in children
- mycoplasma - organisms that have characteristics of bacteria and viruses that cause milder infections
- opportunistic organisms - a threat to people with vulnerable immune systems (e.g., Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in people who have AIDS)
Most types of pneumonia are transmitted in the same way as influenza or the common cold - by people's hands and by tiny droplets from their mouths and noses. In fact, the same viruses that cause colds and the flu can cause pneumonia. If they infect the throat, sinuses, and upper respiratory tract, they cause a cold. If they reach the lungs, they cause pneumonia.
Bacteria that live permanently in many peoples' throats cause some of the more severe types of pneumonia. Normally, the immune system keeps them in check. If someone is weakened by a throat virus, these bacteria can trickle down into the respiratory tract. Bacterial pneumonia is most often caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus).
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of pneumonia in infants and young children. It peaks sharply around December and January and usually isn't a life-threatening disease, though some individuals can be seriously affected. Viruses cause about half of all cases of pneumonia.
Mycoplasma causes the illness called "walking pneumonia," so-called because people who have it are not confined to bed.
A fungus called Pneumocystis carinii is usually seen only in people who have AIDS. This parasite is normally harmless, but in people with HIV it can cause an aggressive and often fatal pneumonia.
In addition to infectious diseases, people can get pneumonia from chemicals that enter the lungs and inflame them. Aspiration pneumonia is caused by accidentally inhaling food, vomit, or digestive acid into the lungs. The inhaled substance may become infected, or it may inflame the lungs and cause them to fill with liquid.
A person who has a higher risk of pneumonia:
- is under one year of age or over the age of 65
- is a smoker
- has a cold or flu
- has a weak immune system due to cancer therapy, HIV infection, or other disease
- is undergoing surgery
- has a problem with alcohol use
- has a chronic illness such as heart disease, lung disease, or diabetes
- has a chronic lung disease, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Symptoms and Complications
Symptoms of pneumonia can vary depending on the cause of the pneumonia and the general health of the person who has pneumonia.
Pneumonia always causes a cough, which often produces sputum. Red-brown, green, or yellow sputum may be a sign of bacterial infection. Thin, whitish sputum is a possible indicator of mycoplasma or viral pneumonia.
In bacterial pneumonia, all or part of the lungs slowly fill with liquid in a process called consolidation. Some bacterial lung infections develop over just a few hours. There's usually a high fever, sometimes going up to 40.9°C (105°F).
Other possible symptoms include:
- shortness of breath
- shivering
- chills
- headache
- delirium (confusion)
- severe bad breath
- muscle pain
- weakness
- chest pain, especially when breathing deeply
- blue lips and nail beds from lack of oxygen in the blood
Viral pneumonias don't actually cause the lungs to fill with liquid; instead, they inflame the actual lung tissue itself. They are usually milder than bacterial infections. An exception is the influenza virus, which can be very serious.
Typically, viral pneumonia causes these symptoms:
- dry cough
- minimal sputum
- headache
- muscle pain
- weakness and fatigue
- moderate fever, up to about 39°C (102°F)
- chills
- shortness of breath
- blue lips and nail beds
Making the Diagnosis
When diagnosing pneumonia, your doctor will perform a physical examination and check for fever and swollen glands. He or she will also listen to your lungs with a stethoscope. Most bacterial infections and some viruses can be detected in sputum or by blood tests. The buildup of liquid in the lungs can be observed in a chest X-ray or a CT scan.
Treatment and Prevention
Pneumonias caused by bacteria can be treated with antibiotics, as can those caused by mycoplasma. It is extremely important to take antibiotics exactly as prescribed by your doctor and for the full course of the medication, even if you are feeling better. There are no cures for most viral infections - they must simply be waited out. Your doctor will advise you on ways to ease the symptoms of viral pneumonia. Fungal infections can be treated with antifungal medications.
There are four ways to prevent pneumonia. The first is to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, stay physically fit, and get enough sleep. This will keep your immune system strong.
The second is to get vaccinated. There are no vaccines for most types of pneumonia, but the two most common types (influenza virus and pneumococcus) can be prevented with vaccines. Yearly influenza vaccination is being promoted for everyone in Canada. Some provinces provide an influenza vaccine free of charge. A pneumococcal vaccine developed for children to protect against disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae is recommended as part of the primary series of immunizations for infants. Also, pneumococcal vaccines are recommended for those over the age of 65, people with chronic heart and lung disease, and those who have had their spleens removed.
The third way to prevent pneumonia is to see your doctor about any cough that's still getting worse after 3 or 4 days. See your doctor immediately if you cough up blood or odd-coloured, foul-smelling sputum. Even if the illness starts as a cold, bacteria can easily cause a secondary infection that could lead to serious pneumonia.
The fourth way to limit the spread of the viruses and bacteria that can cause pneumonia is to wash your hands properly and frequently or use hand sanitizers.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Medical Practice Fired Employee Because of Her Crohn's Disease, Federal Agency Charged
BALTIMORE - University of Maryland Faculty Physicians, Inc. will pay $92,500 and furnish other relief to settle a disability discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
According to the EEOC's lawsuit, Doneen King, a medical practice representative whose duties included answering phone calls and scheduling appointments, was unable to work for two weeks while undergoing medical treatment for her disability, Crohn's disease, including two emergency room visits and a hospitalization. The EEOC said that when King requested an additional day of unpaid leave as a reasonable accommodation, the medical practice instead terminated her.
The EEOC said that University of Maryland Faculty Physicians, Inc.'s lateness and attendance policy violated the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended (ADA), because it did not provide for exceptions or modifications to the attendance policy as a reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities.
The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division, Civil Action No. 1:12-cv-02887-GLR, after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
"It is not only a good business practice to provide reasonable and inexpensive accommodations that allow employees with disabilities to remain employed, it is required by federal law," said Spencer H. Lewis, Jr., district director of the EEOC's Philadelphia District Office.
In addition to the $92,500 in monetary relief to King, the three-year consent decree resolving the lawsuit enjoins University of Maryland Faculty Physicians, Inc. from violating the ADA, including by not providing reasonable accommodations. It must revise its lateness and absenteeism policy to permit reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities. The medical practice is required to train all supervisory, managerial and human resources personnel on the ADA and post a notice regarding the resolution of the lawsuit at its facilities. University of Maryland Faculty Physicians, Inc. will report to the EEOC on its compliance with the consent decree, including its handling of requests for leave as a reasonable accommodation and the resolution of any complaints of disability discrimination.
"We appreciate that the University of Maryland Faculty Physicians, Inc. worked with the EEOC to resolve this case fairly, expeditiously and without incurring unnecessary litigation expenses," added EEOC Regional Attorney Debra M. Lawrence. "This settlement is designed to ensure that all employees with disabilities are provided with a reasonable accommodation to allow them to continue working."
According to its website, http://www.fpi.umaryland.edu, University of Maryland Faculty Physicians, Inc. (FPI) coordinates and supports the clinical activities of the University of Maryland School of Medicine and employs over 1,000 non-physician staff who support the clinical practices of the University of Maryland faculty.
The Philadelphia District Office of the EEOC oversees Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia and parts of New Jersey and Ohio.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Northshore Service Plumbers, Inc. Emiliano Servin and partner, best tech's ever! They installed a sump pump and explained every problem and solution through completion. I was very comfortable as they continue to work. I also need my basin rodded. They rodded and cleared the blockage, now the whole operation is running smoothly. I am a very satisfied customer. Best Ever, Thank you
Northshore was a fantastic company to work with. From the start, Cesar and Andre in the office were both very helpful. We got a schedule that suited our needs, and on the first day of service, the crew showed up right on time. The plumbers, Emiliano and Marcelino, were both terrific. They carefully explained the job and were super friendly and efficient. And we could not be happier with the quality of work, the results, and the very fair price! Our water pressure is vastly improved now. I would highly recommend Northshore. Description of Work: We wanted to replace our 1" galvanized steel horizontal water pipes in our basement with 1" copper pipes to hopefully improve our water pressure. (External feed was 1-1/2" copper pipes with good pressure, so that want the issue.) Our old pipes were very clogged and corroded.
very punctual,delivered service as promised,did a major job and explained clearly the options.I highly recommend this company, you won't be disappointed ,very honest and great manners.
Always timely and effective service at reasonable rates. AND they will often find a more cost-effective fix for problems.
We called Northshore Plumbing Services when we had a sewage line backup in February, with water in our basement, on the coldest day of the year. They responded immediately. The problems turned out to be complicated and not easily diagnosed and new problems cropped up as they did the work. But Andre's crew figured out all the issues and did the necessary excavations and repair, putting in a couple of long days in brutal weather conditions. They cooperated with village inspector to make sure all work was done correctly. We didn't catch the names of everyone who worked on the job - Keith, Cesar, Marcelino and others in addition to Andre - but every one of them worked very hard and was professional and courteous every step of the way.
Marcelino came out within an hour of my phone call this morning. Last night as a child was showering in the lower level, the sewer backed up into the laundry room from the drain in the floor by the furnace & water heater. This sewer water flowed thru the laundry room into the hallway, a lower level bedroom and family room. We mopped up and called Northshore Plumbing this morning. I went onto Angie's List to seek a reputable plumber. Noel from Northshore Plumbing was the first to call, and he sent Marcelino to our home. Marcelino acted in a professional manner explaining each step along the way as he worked on the drains. He explained to me his findings and what he recommends pushing forward. Marcelino gave me the cost up front, and there were no surprises. I am satisfied with the service and I would suggest this company to any and all who need a plumber.
Northshore Service Plumbers repaired a sewer line break just after the Feb. 2019 freeze. * Cesar provided lowest, all inclusive of 3 estimates * Job involved going through foundation into basement due to the type of break * Quality work * 5 year warranty * Did job in ONE day - from groundbreaking to sidewalk restore * Crew of 4 supervised by Cesar and Keith * Great cleanup after job was completed * Great communication from initial call through job completion
Always easy to schedule. Very professional. High quality work.
Extremely prompt communications and a same day response to resolve a sewer back up at my residence. The gentleman that worked on my issue called me on their way and were extremely pleasant on site. They made certain to protect our entry and hallway as they brought equipment in. Once the issue was resolved I feel they left the area cleaner than they found it. I'd highly recommend and would definitely use them again.
Always dependable
Professional and fair. If you have to hire a plumber, these guys are great.
This company provides very professional service, are prompt, and are just nice people.
They came twice and still couldn't fix the problem. Scheduling was a nightmare and seeing as my tennants had a rocky schedule themselves, it created an incredibly frustrating experience. The plumber even said, once realizing he'd have to come back, "If you give me a good tip, I won't report to the company that I had to come back". My impression was if you couldn't fix the problem that wouldn't be my fault as the customer. Eventually I did receive a refund from what the company charged me but not what I had to pay to angies list to get them out here. If the company gave me a $100 credit, I wouldn't use them for services.
My over all rating is a 5 because they will give you the head up when it come to your plumbing needs. Northshore repair a pipe that was broken by putting a new pvc pipe underneath on kitchen sink and it was done on time and they also replace my water heater that same day. They are very nice and courteous.
All around great experience! My garage door was fixed within a day of calling. Super friendly family owned business!
That guy Josh in the my house and he is a genius a doctor of Plumbing I was very impressed he was very neat and polite
Honest, Friendly and Excellent work!! Yaser was amazing! Thank you.
The plumber met with me for a consultation initially-& resolved my issues-in a timely manner. The cost was also reasonable. I will use NorthShore Service Plumbers again!
Great Service !
Northshore Service Plumbers is a great Company, I have to call this gays and they know what are they doing recomended to my Family members and Friends with out fear of doing a recomendation because I know they will get the Job well done
Called the office yesterday due to a sewer backup in the basement. The plumber came when scheduled and did a great job for a fair price. Will use again in the future.
Hard working and quality. Had my new whole house re piped . Would recommend to everyone.
Andre and his Dad did great work on a major plumbing project at our house. They were on-time and on-budget and got in-and-out quickly. Excellent experience with them!
Yaser is a good plumber who works fast and fixes the problem for a reasonable price. We will call Northshore again if we need plumbing services.
Candido did an awesome job. He came on time, he fixed my utility sink and gas pipe and checked for leaks. The job was one of best I've seen. Take it from me, use the professionals, not these round-the-way guys that make false promises. The money I spent was well spent....trust! I'm not trying to give it away. But I am so pleased with my sink and I'll be using them again and I'll recommend them first to anyone who needs good plumbing service.
I had a wonderful experience with this company. When it comes to these types of services you never know who to truly trust. What I got from Northshore Service Plumbers was professionalism, courtesy and knowledge. The gentleman I spoke to over the phone was very pleasant, he offered me assistance with my water heater over the phone prior even discussing an appointment. The technician that arrived was on time, very friendly and the solutions that they provided with my plumbing saved me money. I believe giving credit where its due and I'd recommend this company to anyone.
I tried to install my new kitchen sink faucet, assuming it would be a piece of cake. Little did I know all the parts and tools I needed and 3 hours in and still not done. I ran to the store 4 times before calling Northshore Service Plumbers. Nadiel came out same day and was in and out in 45 minutes, that's cause he had to undo some of the work I had already done to do it right. I could have been more productive with my day than try to do a plumber's job. He covered my floor and sink are and was very professional. Kudos!
Don't you love sump pump back ups when it rains? It was a mess and Andre at Northshore Service Plumbers helped with that nightmare.
Above average professional service
Northshore Service Plumbers, Inc came out on Oct.4, 2019. Tech, Emiliano Servin and partner. He was the best plumber I've ever had working in my home. He explained every problem and every solution regarding the work to be performed and completed. I had an old broken sump pump that hadn't worked in years. They installed a new sump pump. They inspect and cleaned the pit and tested for proper operation. While testing the pump, my drain was slow, because it needed to be rod. After he rodded the drain. He tested and the flow went down properly. Emiliano and his partner explained the entire operation. I felt very comfortable asking questions. They answer them in a way that I understood. I will send always refer Northshore Service Plumbers, Inc. and Emiliano Servin and his partner. BEST EVER!!!
Brandon my tech was wonderful. he showed me exactly what he was fixing and explained on how this happened. I would definitely use them again if I need any plumbing needs. THAT IS FOR SURE!
Brandon called before he arrived to let me know he would be here in 15-20 minutes and he was on time. After I showed him the issue he knew exactly what I needed and quoted me a price. We agreed and he had to get parts and said he would be back in an hour, and was on-time again. He fixed the issue and explained that if there was any issues I can just call and they will come back out to resolve them Northshore Service Plumbing was easy to work with and they kept their word. Brandon was excellent and I would use them again if I have any needs.
Project: Repair or Service a Water Heater
I sent the request and had a call back with in less than 3 min. They were extremely virtuous on the phone and we set a convent appt time. The service tech called that morning to let me know he was running early and could be at my home about 15 before schedule and would that be ok with me. He arrived, introduced himself and he explained that knew what I had called about and what was needed. I showed him where the equipment was and he got right to work and did a though inspection. He explained about the system and and told me what I needed to know. When I asked him for the bill he told me that it was free because it was an estimate and we were all set. I wasn't even sure what to say. He thanked me and say goodbye and departed. Thank you Northshore Service Plumbing inc. I will be using you in the future and letting my friends know what great service you provide.

Very professional

Great all around
Not only have I used this company at my home for emergencies but also at my place of work. There techs are courteous, responsive, helpful and very professional. The owner Andre is very knowledgeable and has been a pleasure to work with on getting projects done at my place of buisness. I would definitely recommend them for any of your plumbing needs. Lee L.
Plumber arrived right away and began to work to fix the damage caused when the tub drain cracked and water leaked into the living room from the second floor bath.. He explained every step of the work and did not leave until he checked and rechecked the repair - making sure nothing leaked. This was the BEST repair experience I have ever experienced. Thank you Northshore Service Plumbers, Inc.!
Took time to give what I wanted
Very professional. I was in the middle of a retiling job and needed some plumbing help. I had gone and gotten a shower fixture that would have been easiest for me to replace myself and I got a little over my head and called in Northshore Service Plumbers. Upon the estimate, I was told I could think about any possible shower fixture install and the price quote wouldn't change even if it was more complex to install. I found their quote to be competitive with other companies around and did wind up with a better shower kit for our needs. So I am glad I called Northshore and the plumber took the time to help me see what would give us the best end result.
Excellent service...nice helpful information Thank you
Excellent service!
We had a kitchen backup, it was Saturday and we need a plumber and called Northshore Service Plumbing and they came out soon therafter, diagnosed as nd fixed the problem and fixed it right away. The technition was skilled, knowledgeable and polite, and the he price was reasonable, especially for Saturday service. Thanks so much.
The first word that comes to mind regarding my experience with Northshore Service Plumbers is "OUTSTANDING"! My call was answered promptly, and ever so politely, and I was able to discuss the issues with the technician over the phone. My hot water tank was apparently shot and I was able to email him a picture of the unit I currently had so he was able to assess the issue and call me with a quote on parts and service even before he stepped into my home. The technician was on sight at the appointed time and was quick, efficient and professional in replacing my hot water heater. I feel I received quality service and a competitive price for costs and labor. I would most certainly recommend Northshore Service Plumbers to friends and associates alike. It was a gold standard experience.
great job!
My utility sink was leaking badly . Yaser came right out, told me it was just loose, tightened it and that was all! He said the pipe was still good. Thank you Northshore Service!
Great Company
I had a wonderful experience with this company. When it comes to these types of services you never know who to truly trust.

Great work! Kitchen Sink & Bathtub Fixtures
I called and they were prompt to get to my home. They explained the work precisely and were in and out both times without any hiccups. They had all the tools and parts needed and the price was exactly where they said it would be and fair. I worked in the plumbing Industry years back and so I know when something is overly priced or not, and their work was up to par with cost and quality. Clean work area after they finished, shared cost of options on how I wanted the problem handled/and their suggestion, and care for my personal things before even starting.

2007 Shape-Up
This story appears in the January 2007 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
It's no secret that entrepreneurs work their tails off--at least the ones who turn out to be successful. And often, your own health and well-being get lost in the shuffle of build-ing a business. It's a dangerous path to be on, particularly if you hope to keep growing your business year after year.
Now that it's a new year, we figure it's prime time for us to remind you of one of the most important resolutions you can make in 2007. Now is the time to take care of yourself--mentally and physically--as well as your employees. We spoke with two experts for some practical advice on integrating wellness into your life and your business: Don R. Powell, Ph.D., president and CEO of the American Institute for Preventive Medicine in Farmington Hills, Michigan; and Larina Kase, doctor of psychology and founder of Performance & Success Coaching in Philadelphia.
Entrepreneur: How can entrepreneurs integrate wellness into their busy lives?
Don R. Powell: You don't have to run a marathon, but you should exercise for 30 minutes three or four times a week. You should be sitting down and eating breakfast rather than skipping meals. I meditate twice a day, and that's a tremendous stress reliever. Another issue is sleep. We recommend getting seven hours a night, and most entrepreneurs get five or six.
Larina Kase: Entrepreneurs can get started on a healthy diet, fitness and stress-relief program by first taking some time to recognize the benefits. We all know we should improve in these areas, but until you have a clear sense of how it will benefit you and your business, you will remain unmotivated and be less likely to follow through.
I have my clients make two lists: first, how your life, mood, relationship, appearance and so on will improve if you commit to a wellness program; second, how your business's bottom line, your leadership abilities and your business partnerships stand to improve.
Entrepreneur: What if you're too busy to exercise?
Powell: For entrepreneurs who can't fit in even 30 minutes of exercise, they should try to incorporate exercise into their normal daily activities.
For instance, instead of parking at the closest spot to the office, park as far away as possible. Instead of taking the elevator, use the stairs. Instead of having your secretary bring a letter to your office, go to your secretary's desk for it. Make a point of walking around the office as much as possible, not only to oversee staff, but also to get exercise. Hobbies [and chores] outside the office, like gardening and mowing the lawn, also help with fitness.
Kase: I recommend that entrepreneurs set realistic goals about what they can commit to and what they can accomplish given their busy schedules. Goals should be in the SMART format [specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time limited] and should focus on the short-term rewards. For example, I can spend 40 minutes at the gym during my lunch break on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The benefits are returning to work with a clear head, increased energy and improved focus for the afternoon.
Entrepreneur: And what if you're too busy to prepare healthy meals?
Kase: These realistic goals [that I mentioned] can include great time-saving strategies, such as cooking a healthy meal on Sundays and freezing it to eat for several nights during the week, or eating healthy organic frozen meals.
Powell: Even if entrepreneurs are forced to eat at a fast-food restaurant, they can still make healthy choices. Ideally, they would eat salads, which are now offered at many of these restaurants. They can select chicken or fish over red meat and small hamburgers if they do eat red meat.
Entrepreneur: If you're a healthy entrepreneur, you'll want your employees to follow in your footsteps. What can entrepreneurs do to get their employees healthy?
Powell: Just providing a map of surrounding areas where they can walk at lunchtime is a way to [begin getting] people healthier. A common mistake that CEOs make is not [being] a good role model. "Do as I say and not as I do" will decrease the effectiveness of a wellness program.
Kase: Another key component is accountability. Research on why people go to classes at the gym shows that it is most often because of the other people in the class. Accountability could include working with a personal trainer, dietitian, wellness coach, friend and exercise buddy, business partner, spouse or anyone who can hold you accountable while you're forming a new habit.
Entrepreneur: How does integrating wellness into your business make for a better business?
Powell: You have increased productivity and employee morale, and reduced health-care costs, absenteeism and "presenteeism"--when someone is at work but is not able to be productive. It shows your company is taking an interest in [employees'] health and well-being. The average return is $3.50 for every dollar spent on a wellness program. Entrepreneurs have a sense of the bottom line, and providing wellness [tools] will help grow your company.
Employee Wellness and Diet Tips
To Their Health
Employees are your greatest assets, so support them with a wellness program.
For Jeff Lambert, wellness goes hand in hand with business. For the past few years, Lambert has been contributing $200 toward each employee who participates in the wellness program at his $3.5 million Grand Rapids, Michigan, PR and investor relations firm. Among other things, this benefit covers health-club memberships, smoking cessation and Weight Watchers classes as well as one group event per year, such as a 5K run. The only requirement is accountability: Participants undergo a health assessment initially and at annual intervals to show measurable progress or sustained health.
There's clearly a business benefit to providing a wellness program for employees, says Lambert, in addition to the obvious benefit of having healthy employees who are more likely to be at work: "Folks who have participated feel better about themselves. They enjoy interactions with others, and this tends to be a general morale boost for the organization," says Lambert, 35, who co-founded Lambert, Edwards & Associates in 1998 with Brian Edwards, who has since left the firm. He now has three partners: Don Hunt, 38; Tara Powers, 34; and Tim Sipols, 40.
Your wellness program can be as simple or as elaborate as you want it to be. On-site fitness centers or health clinics are options, though many entrepreneurs find that a program like Lambert's is a cost-effective compromise. To get started, "get a good picture of employee demographics--everything from age and sex of employees to a health profile," says Dr. Kelly Victory, chief medi-cal officer at Whole Health Management, a Cleveland provider of on-site clinics and health services. "Get a good overview of the health risks that your employees have," such as smoking or lack of exercise. Those assessments will help you determine where to allocate resources.
A word of caution from Mark Cheskin, a labor and employment attorney with Hogan & Hartson LLP in Miami: "No employee should be left behind when developing a program." If you're putting in a gym or implementing health-club memberships, for instance, make sure you're in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act so everyone has an equal opportunity to participate.
And make sure whatever information you gather about employees is kept separate from personnel files to avoid any issues of discrimination if you ever have to let an employee go. Cheskin advises, "When you're ready to roll out your program, have a quick consultation with someone who is familiar with the [legal] issues."
Healthy, Wealthy and Wise
Here are a few of our favorite wellness tips straight from the mouths of workaholic entrepreneurs.
Cathy Areu, 35
Founder and owner, Catalina magazine in New York City
Michael Lacey, 38
Founder & CEO of Digineer, an e-business solutions provider in Plymouth, Minnesota
On healthy eating: Depriving yourself might work in the short term, but sooner or later, you're going to break down and eat that chocolate chip cookie. "I believe in moderation. I always have," says Areu, who founded her multimillion-dollar multimedia company in 2001. "If I want a soda, I'll drink a soda. My weight hasn't changed in 15 years."
Lacey practices moderation by keeping healthy snacks around and limiting junk food--a strategy that has helped him drop almost 50 pounds over the past year. Says Lacey, who founded Digineer in 1998 and had revenue of $12 million in 2006, "The best way to keep my energy level up is to eat every two to three hours or to graze throughout the day."

Founder and president, Incite Strategies, an Atlanta-based HR consulting firm
On fitness and exercise: Dearth schedules exercise into her calendar just as she would any business meeting. "Once I put it in my Outlook, I know it's time for me to do it now," says Dearth, who founded Incite in 1999 and had sales of nearly $1 million in 2006. She stays fit with kickboxing, walking, running and working out one morning a week with a personal trainer.
Michael Cerda, 35
Co-founder and CEO of Jangl, a high-tech startup in Pleasanton, California
On stress relief: Cerda practices yoga every Friday with the staff of Jangl, which develops anonymous-calling and other mobile phone services and was founded in 2005. In addition to being a stress reliever, yoga is a great bonding exercise: "After Friday yoga, there's always a new, good energy around the office," says Cerda. That good energy has helped Jangl raise $9 million in venture funding, and the company expects sales in the millions for 2007.
Yoga also serves as a reminder to breathe, something that's difficult to do correctly in times of stress. Says Cerda, who started a yoga studio himself in 2001, "Entrepreneurs deal with stress 24/7, and your ability to handle [stress] well [depends on] simple things like remembering to breathe properly."
The Entrepreneur Diet
Want to lose weight? Traditional diets can be hard for busy entrepreneurs to stick to. The Entrepreneur Diet is flexible, easy to follow and will help you lose 1 to 2 pounds per week. Jump-start your weight loss by following the Quick Start diet plan for one week. (Use the Quick-Fix or Restaurant options when you're on the go or too busy to prepare a meal.) Don't forget to consult your physician before starting this or any diet, of course.
For maximum results, make these small changes to your habits every day:
- Take 15 minutes to do isometric exercises or stretches at your desk.
- Take a 10-minute energy walk.
- Drink ice water with meals and throughout the day.
- At one meal each day, leave 5 bites of food on your plate.

Prime Numbers are the Holes in
Complex Composite Number Patterns
1. A Pattern-Finding Journey
- Mark Haddon, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time , page 12
Write the numbers one through ten.
Four of those numbers are prime : 2, 3, 5, and 7. They have no integer divisors other than 1 and themselves. Now, write the integer divisors of these ten numbers in columns underneath, spaced out vertically according to their sizes, as shown here.
As you would expect, there are visual gaps below the primes. The other numbers have more divisors than 2. They partially fill the right-triangular area below the row of 1's, and above the diagonal string of numbers at the bottom-left. These are the composite numbers . And if you ask me, they are much more interesting than the primes!
You may not think this is a very interesting pattern. But what if you keep extending the number line out really far, to a big number, like, say, nine quintillion? Out there, you will witness some amazing stuff. That stuff is what this book is about.
Once, when I was a young boy, I got a sheet of paper and a pencil, and started plotting this graph, just for fun.
After plotting out the numbers up to a hundred, I began to see patterns. At the time, I had never heard of the Sieve of Eratosthenes, but that is essentially what I was visualizing. Little did I know that twenty years later I would gaze at the same graph of numbers - only this time on a computer screen.
According to the mathematician Gregory Chaitin, "A concept is only as good as the theorems that it leads to! ... instead of primes, perhaps we should be concerned with the opposite, with the maximally divisible numbers!" [1]. I read this statement in Chaitin's book MetaMath!, several decades after making that pencil drawing. It got me remembering those patterns and the curiosity it provoked. Having only gotten as far as the introduction of the book, I dropped it and ran to my computer. It may have been Chaitin's excessive use of exclamation marks that got me charged up, but I suspect it was something more!!!
I decided to return to this drawing and explore it in more depth. So I created an interactive computer visualization (which is now available at divisorplot.com It allows exploration of large numbers, with a greater range of divisors. As I worked on the interactive tools to explore this space of numbers, I found ever more patterns. I want to share with you some of the excitement of these discoveries.
Let's scan a little farther out on the number line now. In the graph below, notice the patterns that start to emerge in the upper-right area.
If we zoom the view out even further and change the numerals to dots, we see even more patterns. Here are the divisors ranging from 1 to 120 for a section of the number line in the vicinity of 151,080.
Why do these patterns appear complex, almost random? Especially considering the simplicity of the rule that is used to plot them. They exhibit apparent randomness, yes - but also some order. Fodder for the pattern-hungry human brain. That is really what this book is about - a quest to understand why these patterns exist.
This quest is explained from the standpoint of a non-mathematician: a visual language professional who, in the process of seeking out these patterns, becomes a mathematician, in the most universal and general sense - in the sense that all humans are mathematicians. It's just that most people speak a mathematical language of pictures, physical structures, gestures, music, and the rhythms of speech, rather than using a specialized alphabet of symbols connected together to make math notation.
While the creation of theorems and proofs may be the defining pinnacle of mathematics, the explorations that lead to them is universal to all humans. This very human kind of pattern-finding is what many educators believe we should encourage young students to experience: to internalize the beauty and value of mathematics, before having to read dense text books full of dry equations and disembodied formulas, devoid of purpose and stripped of aesthetics. Young or old, professional or novice, we are all pattern-finders.
Pattern-finding is the very creative, very human side of mathematics. In The Music of the Primes, Marcus du Sautoy explains how mathematicians often fluctuate between feeling that they are being creative and a sense that they are uncovering absolute truths. He says:
"Although the primes, and other aspects of mathematics, transcend cultural barriers, much of mathematics is creative and a product of the human psyche. Proofs, the stories mathematicians tell about their subject, can often be narrated in different ways. It is likely that Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem would be as mysterious to aliens as listening to Wagner's Ring cycle. Mathematics is a creative act under constraints - like writing poetry or playing the blues. Mathematicians are bound by the logical steps they must take in crafting their proofs. Yet within such constraints there is still a lot of freedom. Indeed, the beauty of creating under constraints is that you get pushed in new directions and find things you might never have expected to discover unaided. The primes are like notes in a scale, and each culture has chosen to play these notes in its own particular way, revealing more about historical and social influences than one might expect. The story of the primes is a social mirror as much as the discovery of timeless truths" [3].
Seeing things from different perspectives is what du Sautoy is talking about. But while he suggests that the prime numbers are "notes in a scale", and that each culture plays these notes in a different way, I believe that the primes are not like notes at all. They are the silent spaces between notes. The notes comprise a magnificent symphony, full of beautiful symmetry. And the instruments used to play that symphony are the composite numbers.
An important paradigm shift that this book follows is the idea that prime numbers are not the stars of the show. They are not the building blocks of all numbers. The stars of the show are the composite numbers, with symmetry and beautiful fractal-like structure that grows as you venture out along the number line to larger and larger numbers.
I hope that this book will make you think of "number" in a different way than it is typically described: not as a dry, boring symbol on a piece of paper, or as a concept that expresses a single quantity, but as a pattern situated inside a society of overlapping patterns with deep complex structure. If you listen closely to an extremely large composite number, you can hear a symphony playing inside. And that's not all: every number has it's own unique symphonic composition. And the primes? They don't make any sound.
Integer, Pattern, and Human Intelligence
While gazing at these divisor dots, rendered in white on a black background (as I prefer to render them on the computer screen), I have the sensation of being an ancient astronomer trying to find some order in the chaos. In the illustration below of a starry sky at dusk, it looks as if the stars are scattered randomly, but they are actually plotted out according to this very simple rule.
As you gaze at this Sky of Divisors, you may find Chariots, Big Bears, and Scorpions, as the ancient astronomers did. But for me, the most interesting patterns are the ones that reveal mathematical truths. Karl Sabbagh believes that if there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, it will be capable of numerical counting. "The stars in the sky are discrete points and cry out to be counted by intelligent beings throughout the universe (at least the ones who can see)." [8].
Counting naturally leads to truths such as 2+2=4, as well as all integer math, primes. etc. Leopold Kronecker said, "God created the integers; the rest is man's doing." We have magnificent occipital lobes, and our brains are wired to find patterns, at all levels - consciously and unconsciously. My exploration of these patterns begins with my visual pattern-seeking brain, and progressively applies language and math to my discoveries. I believe this is the natural trajectory of human mathematics.
Thinking Big
Rudy Rucker says, "There are infinitely many natural numbers. They surround us in all dimensions like an ocean without shores. Compared to the ocean of number, our whole starry sky, all that is, is less than a germ in the gut of a tube worm warming itself by a volcanic vent at the bottom of the ten-kilometer-deep Marina Trench" [7]. Rucker uses colorful language to make a point: we are not able to grasp the vastness of really large numbers (such as ten to the power of one million).
But we can grasp patterns very well.
Small numbers are experienced quite easily, especially the very small numbers less than about 5, which are the subitizable ones (most of us can grasp them instantly in our minds without having to count: think of walking into a kitchen and noticing three apples in a bowl on the table). But as numbers get bigger, we need patterning, counting, iteration, to apprehend them. That's why we use the base ten (or any base) to clumpify numbers into scaling chunks. When numbers are really big, they can only be experienced as patterns.
As far as the brain is concerned, it may be that all numbers are processed as patterns (even the subitizable ones, except that our brains have special efficient neural networks that create what feels like instant recognition). Recent brain research has identified distinct patterns in the human parietal cortex associated with numerical processing for small numbers, and so we may soon find out more about this neural patterning.
Ramanujan may have had abnormal neural networks allowing him to experience large primes with the same immediacy and instant clarity as a child apprehending three apples. Experiencing numbers really just comes down to patterns on the subconscious level (like everything else). But what really matters for communicating numbers are the languages we use to name them and the visualizations we use to understand them.
The larger the number, the harder it is for the human brain to grok it as a single quantity. And in fact, given the spectacular symmetry and interwoven internal structure found in the number 20! (twenty factorial), it is not very useful to think of it as a single quantity: 2,432,902,008,176,640,000. There is much more going on inside that number.
Overlapping Patterns
Based on the theories of Maxwell, Einstein, Schroedinger, de Broglie, Clifford, Wheeler, Feynman, and many others, one might conclude that everything in the universe can be described in terms of overlapping waves. Ray Tomes [12] suggests that the universe consists of many standing waves of many frequencies and overlapping in many ways. The combination of these waves produce harmonics.
Thomasson [11], Wolfram [14], and others, have generated small variations of the graph I discovered to illustrate the distribution of primes. A few of these are shown here.
I presented my discoveries in October of 2007 at the International Conference on Complex Systems in Boston [13]. Since publishing the web site on divisorplot.com, many fellow prime number pattern explorers have contacted me, and some of their findings are shared in this book.
David Cox published similar findings in 2008, in a paper called Visualizing the Sieve of Eratosthenes [2]. An image reproduced from Cox's paper is shown below. We will address a few of Cox's observations later on.
Building Blocks or Empty Spaces?
We hear of primes described as the "building blocks" of all numbers. Let's turn that concept on its head. Instead, let's think of primes as the negative spaces behind overlapping objects.
Imagine a series of picket fences stacked in front of each other. Each picket fence has different spacing between its wooden slats. The superimposition of fences creates line moire patterns.
Consider the Sieve of Eratosthenes, a process where each stage involves hopping along the number line with increasingly larger steps. This activity progressively stamps out the composite numbers, to identify primes. It's kind of like stacking these picket fences, each one with a larger gap between its slats - to eliminate the holes. Some holes will always remain. Those are the primes.
Asking the Wrong Questions
People are still asking, "What is the formula for the distribution of the primes on the number line?" "How can we predict when the next prime number will occur?" "What is the heartbeat of the primes?"
The heartbeat, by all accounts, has been fibrillating since the beginning of time, and its erratic behavior shows no sign of stopping. The problem is that these questions are based on a mental model that is stuck with marching along the number line from 0 to infinity. It is hyperlinear. The distribution of prime numbers might be better understood as the artifact of overlapping composite number patterns. For instance, take a look at this diagram of the first 100 primes against the graph of divisors.
I selected the composite numbers 42 and 60 as examples of how their immediate prime neighbors exhibit left-right symmetry. Actually, I have been told by a mathematician friend of mine that this symmetry is not just in the immediate neighborhood, but that it extends well beyond. And the reason that this symmetry appears to break down after a certain distance is because of the overlapping effect of many composite number patterns - each one having its own symmetrical pattern. Later on in the book we will explore more forms of symmetry about certain composite numbers.
A Definition
The graph I discovered when I was young doesn't appear to have a name, even though small versions of it have appeared at various times in the literature. I call this graph the "divisor plot". It can be defined as the set of all integer locations in the x,y plane (where y is positive) for which x mod y = 0. Let us call these integer locations "divisors". As integer locations, these divisors lie on a 2D lattice with cells of size 1. The y coordinate of each location is a divisor of x. I prefer to make the y axis point downward, so that higher y values are lower. It could just as easily be plotted the opposite way, but I find this way to be easiest for visualization.
Unfurling the Divisor Function
The number of divisors of an integer x (called the divisor function ) is denoted as d(x). In this book, I will refer to the actual set of the divisors of x as Dx. As an example, D6 = {1, 2, 3, 6}. Every Dx is unique - and that fact is related to the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, which states that every integer can be described as a unique product of prime numbers: no two integers have the same set of prime number divisors. Similarly, no two integers have the same Dx.
The divisor function is a counting of the number of divisors for an integer. If you plot a graph of the divisor function across the number line, you will notice that it is quite jaggy. This is directly related to the famously jaggy distribution of primes - the fibrillating heartbeat. Imagine compressing the divisor plot so that all the divisors get stacked up into vertical columns. The divisor function graph can be thought of as this vertical stacking of divisors in the divisor plot.
Sometimes, the way to understand something that is seemingly random is to see it as ground instead of figure, or as the shadow of something in a higher dimension. Perhaps that is how we should think of the prime numbers.
Numbers are typically considered as lying on a one-dimensional line. Think instead of the prime numbers as shadows cast by something in a higher dimension. Perhaps this is why Bernhard Riemann was able to discover a new way to look at the primes: he deployed the complex plane, a rich two-dimensional context within which to discover something about the distribution of primes [6].
Let's follow Chaitin's call to study the maximally-composite numbers instead of the primes. Composites are the generators of all pattern. Prime numbers are the holes, the shadows, the ground behind the figure. What passes through the Sieve of Eratosthenes is far less interesting than the Sieve itself. Likewise, the tools we use to generate random sequences such as the Golden Ratio and Pi (tools like the Fibonacci sequence and Buffon's Needle ) are much more interesting than the random sequences themselves. After all, there is no information in random sequences. Why bother spending so much time looking at them?

A filmmaker as well as a still photographer, Paul Strand turned to the use of sequenced images early in his career. His first portfolio, Photographs of Mexico, was issued in 1940, and used a cinematically inspired arrangement of images to present a dignified, heroic portrait of village life. The project became a model for his subsequent depictions of places including the Hebrides, Italy, France, and Egypt, which were issued as books. Late in his career, Strand returned to the portfolio format and created On My Doorstep, a collection of his best-known images, as well as this loving tribute to his garden in Orgeval, France.
In his text for this portfolio, Strand refers to the garden as his observatory, and writes: "For the artist the moment of seeing can also be a moment of revelation. Such moments are closely related to those of the scientist when he discovers his hypotheses concur with the structures and organizations of nature, either by a lucky chance or as a result of patient research. In art as in science, both chance and research contribute to opening up new dimensions of harmony for man within his environment."
