The pic is the phase portrait of a simple "piecewise isometry". Define a map by sliding the two halves of the plane: the top half to the right; the lower half to the left and then rotate. Around each periodic point of the map there's a "periodic island". These are what are in the image...

Jacobi of a map restricted on unstable manifold
I guess it boils down to needing to know that the tangent space to the unstable manifold depends in a Holder continuous way on $x$. Then it's the composition of two Holder continuous functions? |

Is a particular set of polynomials dense in a set of functions?
Notice that your functions $h_a$ have negative Schwarzian derivative. The composition of functions with negative Schwarzian also has negative Schwarzian, so that $\bigcup \mathcal A_n$ consists entirely of functions with negative Schwarzian derivative. I suspect this should imply that $\bigcup \mathcal A_n$ is not dense, but don't see how to nail this down yet. |

Is a particular set of polynomials dense in a set of functions?
Presumably your question really is: Is $\bigcup \mathcal A_n$ dense in $\mathcal F$? The sets $\mathcal A_n$ themselves contain polynomials of degree $2^n$ and so cannot be dense. |

On the vanishing of the generalized von Mangoldt function $\Lambda_k(n)$ when $n$ has more than $k$ prime factors
I think the fundamental underlying fact is that if you do $(k+1)$-fold repeated differences on a polynomial of order $k$, then you get 0. That is $\sum_{\epsilon_1,\ldots,\epsilon_{k+1}}f(x+\epsilon_1d_1+\ldots+\epsilon_{k+1}d_{k+1})=0$, where then $\epsilon_i$ run over $\{\pm 1\}$. In your case, the polynomial is $f(t)=t^k$. |

Using topological pressure to determine a subshift of finite type
First, you should allow me to assume that $A$ is irreducible. Otherwise there are some words you only see at most once, and you can never tell what $f$ is like on places you only see once. Given this, I think you must be able to do this with one $f$. Here's how I'd try: Choose $x_1\ll x_2 \ll x_3 \ll x_4\ll\ldots\ll x_{n^2}$, order the edges and let the function be the sum of the $x_i$'s corresponding to the edges. By $\ll$ here I mean there's a really really massive additive difference between the $x$'s. |

Consecutive non squarefree integers
Interesting question. The literature seems to have quite a lot about upper bounds. The best upper bounds I could find were $[n,n+cn^{1/5}\log n]$ (due to Filaseta) - clearly much bigger than your lower bound. Granville showed that the abc conjecture implies an upper bound of $n^\epsilon$ for any $\epsilon>0$. |

Determining the position of a coordinate by binning Gaussian noise around that coordinate to lattice points with vertex-specific probabilities
It's just not enough to say if we randomly perturb distances between lattice points. (Does knowing the distances determine the lattice?) You need to be telling us how you're going to move the lattice points themselves... |

Determining the position of a coordinate by binning Gaussian noise around that coordinate to lattice points with vertex-specific probabilities
I don't think the question is clear enough in its current form. When you say the standard deviation of the distance from vertex to vertex is $\sigma_L$, you (presumably) are talking about the distance between perturbed versions of adjacent vertices in the lattice? I think you need to be more precise about how you're moving the vertices - are you just moving each one by an independent Gaussian for example? |

Supremum of scaled Brownian motion shifted by bounded smooth function
@Chee: When you're asked for motivation, I think people are hoping to a bigger context, basically to distinguish it from a homework question. If you frame your question "I've been working on the interaction of Brownian motion and Galois theory, and have arrived at the following question about Brownian bridges" or something, people will probably be much more willing to think about answering it. (see the FAQ) |

Minimal number of functions necessary to $\epsilon$-recover a functional space
So the fact that these functions are 1/2-Hölder is a red herring here if you're not stating any bound on the norm. You can specify an arbitrary collection of points in $[0,1]^n$ and find a 1/2-Hölder function such that $f(i/n)$ takes the $i$th value. You need a function that is (at most) within $1/\sqrt n$ at each of these points. So that you need at least $(\sqrt n/2)^n$ different functions. |

From the McDonald's golden arches to Nike swoosh, many companies have instantly recognizable logos. In order to achieve this status, businesses may invest resources in branding and marketing. Meanwhile, it may also be important to protect the logo from trademark infringement in order to keep a company's brand from being watered down by unnecessary competition.

Call it a prophecy, a premonition, or an emotional impulse borne of raw emotion and too little sleep, but on the day he brought his infant son, Francis, to be baptized, Dr. Keith Marotti was overcome by a sudden thought. "I just have a feeling," he remembers telling his wife, Hope. "This one's going to become a priest."
While the Marottis put little stock in that prediction, they never forgot it. It seemed particularly poignant several years later, when young Frankie, now six years old, drew a picture of his family seated in the front pew at Mass. In the sanctuary stood the priest, reverently elevating the host, with the words "Father Francis" beside him.
Two decades later Rev. Francis Marotti ('07) would, indeed, consecrate the Eucharist in his family church — as a new priest at his first Mass. A day earlier, on June 23, 2012, he had received the Sacrament of Holy Orders from the Most Rev. Paul J. Bradley, Bishop of Kalamazoo (Mich.).
Despite the early intuitions, throughout his youth and childhood, Fr. Marotti did not expect to become a priest. "Going along in high school, I didn't take my vocation or life very seriously," he says. "I didn't consider anything weighty about our faith or about the world."
That would start to change when, following the lead of his older brother, Richard ('03), he attended the Thomas Aquinas College High School Summer Program between his junior and senior years. That experience convinced him to enroll as a freshman at the College the next year. Maturity soon followed.
"It came all of a sudden during sophomore year," Fr. Marotti recalls. "We were reading St. Augustine, both in theology and in seminar, and then later we were reading Dante. I remember those having a big impact on me. They woke me up to consider the priesthood more seriously."
"When you start studying the great books and are around students who are obviously more serious about life than you are, it really challenges you. There is just no way to get through it without being forced to consider your vocation," he says. "I thank God for the College. It really saved me from that kind of complacency with life, of just kind of going along. I can't think of how I would have come to the position in life where I would discern my vocation so seriously as I did at Thomas Aquinas College. That's why the Lord put me there."
After his graduation in 2007, Fr. Marotti spent one more year discerning the priesthood while teaching high school theology in his hometown of Kalamazoo. The next fall, he entered the Diocese' seminary program and began four years of studies at the North American College in Rome. In his final year there, while a deacon, he twice had the honor of chanting the Gospel at papal Masses, first on the Feast of the Epiphany, and then at the Easter Vigil.
Today Fr. Marotti is the parochial vicar at St. Philip's in Battle Creek, Mich., where, in addition to his regular priestly responsibilities, he ministers at the parish high school, facilitates a youth discussion group, and serves as the chaplain at a neighboring hospital. Being a priest, he says, "is even greater than I had imagined, because you can never really understand what it is to celebrate Mass or to perform the other sacraments until you actually do it."
On the day after his ordination, Fr. Marotti began the morning by baptizing his niece, then offering his first Mass at his family parish. That afternoon, he and his family celebrated at a party in his parents' home, where an enlarged copy of Father's prescient, 6-year-old artwork hung on the living-room wall.
"There is truth, and we are seeking it — so much so that we leave out the opinions of textbook editors, and go back to original sources."
– Andrea Florez ('14)
Auburn, Calif.
"This is truly a Catholic center of learning because it reverberates with the ecclesial life of faith, a faith which unfolds the richness of reason and is given fervent expression liturgically, sacramentally, and through prayer, acts of charity, and a passion for justice."
– The Most Rev. J. Michael Miller
Archbishop of Vancouver
Former Secretary, Congregation for Catholic Education

Without a Soul to Move
William Dewey
softcover, Lawrence & Gibson
$16.05, 254 pages
In Cat's Cradle, Kurt Vonnegut invents the term "granfalloon." It means a group of people who believe they have a common purpose or identity, but whose association is actually meaningless. Examples, writes Vonnegut, include "…the Communist Party, the Daughters of the American Revolution, the General Electric Company, the International Order of Odd Fellows—and any nation, anytime, anywhere."
It's a wonderful conceit. And true. Nationhood, of course, is based on the most meaningless characteristics of all—the congruence of the happenstance of geography and the accidence of birth. But granfalloons occupy most of our public cultural space: family, class, school, clubs, sports teams.
Vonnegut's invention of granfalloons coincided with—or, perhaps, influenced—the rejection of traditional institutions in the 1960s and beyond. So, as the values of country, family and religion are questioned and rejected, they're replaced by…what? One answer is "slackerism," an anti-movement comprised of rootless young people with no institutional allegiances or firm moral code, who wander in lazy and amoral but intellectually curious packs, contemplating Saturday morning cartoons and the meaning of life with equal fervor.
But there's a cost to being rootless, to rejecting popular groups and institutions. Community is lost. Discipline, structure and order are lost. With all the limitations of, say, nationalism, our country still offers us traditions, a sense of place and history, a collective narrative, and other people. Without these things there is no purpose.
And that's where William Dewey's novel, Without a Soul to Move, begins.
Dewey's book is the story of three men—Wayne, Howie and Adam—who struggle to impose meaning on their lives. Each drifts along in a loose network of Denver 20- and 30-somethings, each deeply flawed, looking to escape the self-imposed bounds of self-perception. For instance, Adam, in reaction to the near-simultaneous death of his parents—his father to cancer, his mother to a heart attack shortly after—dresses up as Batman and prowls Denver's darkened alleys looking for crime to fight. Adam wants to do good.
Howie suffers from a bout of unrequited love. Sparked by a long-ago flirtation with Adrienne—who still leads Howie on even as she's engaged to another man—Howie ditches his good job for a Johnny Rockets' gig, whiskey and couch surfing; pathetic for a man approaching his mid-30s. Howie needs love.
Wayne is a computer geek who seeks to measure his personal importance by "disappearing" and noting the disturbance his absence makes among his acquaintances. Nobody notices he's gone. He despairs and buys a gun, ostensibly with which to kill himself. Wayne is looking for a community.
Notably absent from the story is family, work, school. The book takes place in Denver, but it's not a story about Denver. It could be anywhere. There's no history outside the characters' relationship to one another, no sense of a future. The characters never move along the typical timeline of progression from child to adult to parent to grave. They aren't really moving at all.
Dewey uses omniscience to tell the story from the viewpoint of a dozen or so characters. It's wildly effective as well as superbly melodic. As we follow each character, it becomes obvious that everyone is handicapped by self-interested consciousness. With Carissa, for example—who has just learned about Wayne's disappearance and possible suicide—we discover her interest in Wayne was the result of a drunken one-night stand with him. She wants to find him—not out of any genuine concern for his well being, but to see if their dalliance left any mark on him, to see if she inspired love.
Nobody is intentionally malicious. Each is a luminous spirit in flawed, fragile, human forms.
Dewey also bends the form of the novel. Some passages refer to "I," and this voice infers that most of the book was invented from a series of articles found in a Denver alt-weekly about a mysterious man who thought he was Batman. Toward the end of the book, characters interact with a "supreme" voice that breaks through both the narrative voice and their own limited views. Wayne, for example, lays sick in bed with a fictitious book (The Idiot's Tale) that "talks" to him, revealing the larger truths of the book to him, and allows him to make real decisions about his life. Likewise, Howie encounters a bearded homeless man, who does the same for him.
In the end, all three characters fail to find what they need. Instead, they realize the falseness of what they'd been looking for. And there's a hint of an answer to the question of purpose—a realization that we need it.
"There would be time to make sense of all this later," thinks Adam at the book's conclusion. "They had the will. All they needed was devotion…They would change the world. Until then, it was fine to sit as they sat now, in silence."
Interestingly enough, in Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle there was an alternative to granfalloon. A "karass" meant a group of people working in unconscious harmony to bring about the will of God.

PHILADELPHIA — When Chris Pronger returns to the NHL, he'll have more than his captain's "C'' as a uniform accessory.
He'll also wear a protective shield.
Pronger suffered the scariest injury of his 18-year career this week when a wayward stick jabbed him just outside his right eye during a 4-2 win over Toronto. The blow was enough to send the Philadelphia Flyers defenseman into a panic. He screamed and sprinted off the ice in seconds, likely fearing the worst for his eyesight.
He survived the incident with his sight and career intact. Pronger could be back in two to three weeks, agitating the opposition, trading barbs with the media, and standing tall again as one of the top defenseman in the NHL.
Instead of bed rest, though, he should have been in Philadelphia's lineup this week. But Pronger is one of many veterans — who play a valiant game in a valiant league — who have refused to wear a protective plastic visor.
Some cite discomfort.
For most players, like sidelined Flyers forward Ian Laperriere, they simply haven't abandoned their outdated attitudes that wearing a shield means a player isn't tough. Facemasks aren't hip — and only the real macho players are willing to take the ice without them.
Some players once felt the same way about helmets and other protective gear. Now, keeping heads safe is mandatory. Eyes could be next.
The time could be near when visors are as much a part of the game as sticks and gloves.
"Sometimes you have to save the players from themselves," said Pierre McGuire, an NHL analyst for NBC and Versus.
While it's often a puck that causes damage, Pronger was the victim of a freak stick accident. Toronto's Mikhail Grabovski slapped at the puck, but his stick connected with Pronger's and the blade shot straight up into the defenseman's face. In the blink of an eye, Pronger nearly lost one.
Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren was blunt: Doctors would not clear Pronger to return unless he wore a visor.
"Some of these guys have been around a long time, and if they don't want to wear it, they won't want to wear it for whatever reason," Holmgren said.
All it takes is that one vicious high stick, one puck blasted at 100 mph right at the eyes to change a player's view.
Flyers forward Scott Hartnell added a visor in his second season after a shot to the face. Penguins forward Pascal Dupuis played his four seasons without one until he realized its value in blocking shots. Retired NHL star Ron Francis had no use for a visor until he took a slapshot to the eye.
Francis, now the Carolina Hurricanes director of hockey operations, might have played on without one had it not been for doctor's orders.
"I got hit in the (left) eye with a slapshot and spent seven days in the hospital with both my eyes patched shut," Francis said. "I remember the doctor's exact words when he took the patches off my eyes. He said, 'God must have been on my side because normally they don't turn out this well.'"
Scare tactics work. So why not common sense?
"You see guys that get a stick poked in the face as kind of a warning sign and put one on after that," said Tampa Bay forward Ryan Malone, who does not use a shield. "But I don't know. You can't really worry about it. It just comes with the territory."
Like Pronger, Toronto's Dion Phaneuf is a team captain and a physical defenseman. He understands that inherent danger has long been a part of the game. With pucks and sticks and bulky bodies flying in front of the net, Phaneuf has always played with a shield.

Another Foulke Up
Sigh. Well another blown win for the Sox thanks to another "Whopper" of a performance by Keith Foulke. The Good News, The Sox still lead the AL East by 3 games. The Bad news? It's getting pretty bunched up aside from the D-Rays. The Sox have lost a lot of momentum they had and have had some lackluster games. I f our starters can get solid for us again, then we'll start winning games.
Foulke's season is inexcusable. If he really is hurt then he, or the Sox management should have made a move a long time ago. Lets hope they can make it 3.5 after tonight.

Hi: 11° Lo:8° 7 day
TWO MEN are to face trail after being charged for the murder of a prisoner in Long Lartin prison.
Gary Smith, 47 and Lee Newell, 44, also prisoners at the South Littleton prison, were arrested at the scene and subsequently charged over the death of Subhan Anwar.
The pair appeared before Worcester Magistrates Court on Saturday and were remanded into custody to appear before Worcester Crown Court tomorrow (Tuesday).
The body of Mr Anwar, aged 25, was found by prison officers just before 8pm on Thursday. A post mortem examination found the cause of death was consistent with injuries from a broken neck.
Mr Anwar was serving a minimum of 23 years after being convicted of the murder of Sanam Navsarka in Huddersfield in February 2009.
A Prison Service spokesman said on Friday: "An incident at HMP Long Lartin on Thursday, February 14 resulted in the death of prisoner Subhan Anwar.
"Two prisoners are now in police custody and the matter is being investigated by police."
Anwar's partner Zahbeena Navsarka was cleared of her daughter's murder but found guilty of manslaughter and jailed for nine years.

Read more: Complete coverage of Utah primary election races
SALT LAKE CITY — Chief Deputy Attorney General John Swallow beat Sean Reyes Tuesday to become the GOP nominee for attorney general in what was one of the state's nastiest primary races.
With just under 97 percent of precincts reporting, Swallow had 68 percent of the vote and Reyes, 32 percent.
Super PACs targeted both candidates with negative ads and mailers. Reyes filed a defamation lawsuit against Swallow and a Nevada-based super PAC called It's Now or Never. Swallow called it a desperate move by a desperate candidate.
Endorsed by outgoing Attorney General Mark Shurtleff, Swallow said if elected he "won't be an attorney general who marches in place" and would restructure the office "to the extent it needs to be restructured."
Swallow called the negative campaigning "frustrating" and said he "really couldn't answer the question" when asked if members of his campaign staff were involved in the ads attacking Reyes.
Despite the friction between the campaigns, Reyes endorsed Swallow when the votes were counted.
"Tonight, I just want to focus on John's victory," Reyes said, even though he and Swallow "still have our differences on how the election was won." Reyes said he believed he lost because of the "malicious" attack ads.
"I think those really did hijack the attention of voters," he said. "It's a sad commentary. I was hopeful people would reject that."
Swallow championed himself as a conservative who will fight the federal government over public lands and health care. As a state legislator, he voted for school choice and English-only and against in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants.
Reyes, too, considered himself a conservative and said those principles would guide his decisions. But he said the function of the attorney general's office is largely nonpartisan in defending families and people's rights and liberties.
Pollster Dan Jones said Swallow benefited from higher name recognition, thanks to his past unsuccessful bids for Congress. "A lot of people just didn't know who Reyes was," Jones said.
Jones also said the barrage of negative ads also had an impact. "I don't like negative ads, but they worked," he said, noting Reyes' legal retaliation didn't appear to win him any votes.
Swallow now faces Democratic Weber County Attorney Dee Smith and Midvale civil rights attorney Andrew McCullough, a Libertarian.
Auditor's race
While the attorney general's race has been heated, there was also a hard-fought race for the GOP nomination for state auditor. Longtime state Auditor Auston Johnson faced his first-ever primary challenge from Rep. John Dougall, R-American Fork.
With nearly 97 percent of the vote in, Dougall appeared headed to victory with a more than 3,000 vote lead over the incumbent. He will face Democrat Mark Sage and Constitution Party candidate Richard Proctor on the November ballot.
Dougall was waiting until the results were final before declaring victory: "I'm a numbers guy. I'll wait until the count is in. That's just what I do. I'm humbled that I believe people listened to my message. We're looking for better oversight coming out of the auditor's office. "
Johnson was in Washington, D.C., to participate in a federal government conference and was not available for comment.
The race pitted Johnson's 36 years of experience in the auditor's office, including 17 as state auditor, against Dougall's call for the office to more aggressively monitor the job performance of state agencies.

HBCU players who could play in NFL
Updated: November 3, 2010, 10:57 AM ET
By Donald Hunt | Special to ESPN.com
The college football season will end in another four weeks.
For a number of players in the MEAC and SWAC, their playing careers will be over. But that's not the case for everybody. There are a number of NFL prospects in each conference. Some of these players could hear their names called on draft day. Others could find their way onto NFL rosters as free agents.
Black college football doesn't have the quality of players they had 30 or 40 years ago. There's no question ...

Checking in at hotel - Ask for a QUIET room on a high floor. Madrileños have very late night hours and you will be further away from any street noise that may occur at 3 or 4 am. The quietest room may be an interior room with no street view, but you will be able to sleep better. You can also buy inexpensive ear plugs before you go.
Pickpockets - As in many countries, they abound at the metro stations and train stations (Many have been trained at the school of the seven bells. Before graduation, they have to pick the pocket of a mannequin which is outfitted with 7 small bells. If none of the bells sound, they graduate.). Also beware of women asking for alms, especially if they have children with them. The children are meant to distract, while the women pick your pockets. Be on your guard and do not wear your wallet in your back pockets. Women should use purses with straps that go across their chest, with the zippers closed. You also may find pickpockets at American fast food franchises. One more reason to try out the Spanish restaurants!
Taxis - These are inexpensive and it will cost you about 5 or 6 euros between destinations downtown. You will save time by taking a taxi. Your time is precious as a traveler and you are worth a taxi, aren't you?
El Retiro Park - This park is a huge park in downtown Madrid. Using the same caution you would use at home, do not go unescorted to any isolated areas of the park at night or during other lonely times of the day (at lunch or siesta time, between 2 and 5 pm).
Tipping - Tipping is not a Spanish custom. At a restaurant, if you give the waiter a tip of 5%, this is considered generous. Most Spaniards leave loose change. For a hotel porter, 1 euro for each big bag is enough. For a taxi, 5% is adequate. In big American cities, people leave 15 to 20%, but in Spain this is unheard of.
Dress - Madrid is one of the fashion capitals of Europe and Madrileños pride themselves on their dress, wanting to match everything, especially the women. Men are also dandies here. Many travelers dress down when they travel, but if you go to Madrid, dress up instead and do as the Spainards do. You do not want to appear like a country hick!
- Men - Even during summer, Madrileños wear long pants, especially made of linen. They never wear short pants, which are only for summer resorts or for attire at home. All the white collar workers will be wearing suits. They do not have such a thing as "dress down "Fridays. Traveling men do not have to wear suits, but they can use dress up casuals. Flip flops are looked down on. Use leather shoes, not white tennis. Do not wear loud T shirts, because this will show you are a silly foreigner. Use subtle designs on your shirts. Better not to use jeans. If you are dressed up conservatively, you will be treated better at restaurants and stores, because the Spaniards working there know that you are trying to respect their customs.
- Women - A lot of sightseeing may bring women to churches. Be conservative. Do not wear any clothes you would be ashamed to wear in your own church on Sunday. Wear leather shoes. Do not wear stiletto heels because many sidewalks may not be safe with these heels, and you do not want to ruin your vacation having an accident and spending all your time at the hospital! It is best to use low heels, especially since you will walk a lot. Do not wear shorts or jeans. Do not wear anything flashy. Be discreet and you will fit in with the natives.
Important Spanish phrases - These are the most important phrases to learn in Spanish. If you greet Spanish with these phrases AND A SMILE, they will be happy to help you in everyway. The Spanish are very hospitable people and they love to help foreigners:
Gracias - thank you.
Hola - hello.
Buenos dias - good morning.
Buenas tardes - good afternoon.
Buenas noches - good evening.
Do not criticize them in public, because all the young people know English now and they will resent this. If you need help in directions, best to approach a young Spanish person because chances are they understand English. Older people may not know English.
Bargaining - This is done only in flea markets. In jewelry stores, it is acceptable to ask for a small discount with a smile. If the proprietor likes you, he may give you a 10% discount.
The IVA - If you are American and you go to a store that advertises tax free shopping or the El Corte Ingles department store, you can reclaim the 16% sales tax that is put on goods that are not consumable (such as food). You need to have bought something worth more than 90.15 euros. Ask the clerk for the refund and the clerk will prepare the paperwork for this. When you leave at the airport, you have to show the customs inspector what you bought and he will stamp the paperwork. There is a post office box just after customs, where you drop off the form. About 2 months later, your credit card will be credited with the amount. At the El Corte Ingles, you can accumulate your receipts and ask for your refund at the end of your shopping.

While it appears that all she does is sleep, and to be fair she does sleep a lot, it's really just sampling bias. It's damn near impossible to get a good photo of her when she's awake.

I won't lie, for a moment I thought this was one of those radiographs of someone visiting the ER with something stuck up their butt.

Adelaida on SnoothOctober 2009
A friend's birthday dinner tonight at a steakhouse. A couple of us are bringing the wines and I'm trying to figure out the best order to pour them. I know conventional logic would say to stick with one or two varietals, but we choose to defy conventional logic. (We did stick to California, with one Aussie thrown in.) So here's what I'm think...

October 2009
Adelaida is on the Westside of HWY 101 and well worth the trip. The vineyards are rolling at various elevations through a rocky and calcerous soil on some very steep hillsides. The topography alone makes the wines interesting and the Pinot Noir is an amazingly rich, full bodied style that nearly disrupts the varietal character. But what do I kno... Read More

It's so bad for President Obama that there is now talk of impeachment,not from his foes on the right but from his former allies on the left,if he proceeds with an attack on Syria absent Congressional approval. Dennis Kucinich kicked off the talk late last month with a tweet:

Review shows NY pension fund fixed ethics
Published: February 19, 2013
Tags: Common Retirement Fund, New York, New York State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, pay for play, pension fund, scandal
An outside review of New York's $150 billion pension fund for public workers shows it fixed ethical problems that led to a "pay-for-play" scandal.
The three-year review by Michigan-based Funston Advisory Services says the Common Retirement Fund's 2009 decision to ban paid placement agents used by other pension funds does not appear to have kept it from accessing qualified outside investment managers.
Funston says state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, the fund's sole trustee since the 2007 scandal, is meeting all applicable ethical and conflict-of-interest standards and is acting solely for the benefit of its 1 million workers and beneficiaries.
However, the review notes the fund is thinly staffed for its size and complexity, depending more on external consultants, and needs better computer infrastructure.

Navy mulls extending NMCI contract, increasing contract ceiling
The Department of the Navy has announced it may spend up to $1.2 billion more for support of its Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI). In a Feb. 20 FedBizOpps posting, the Navy issued sole-source justification, detailing a notice of intent to increase the price of Hewlett-Packard's continuity-of-service contract (CoSC). The notice also allows the Navy to extend the CoSC services from April 2014 through September 2014 to ensure the department can complete the transition to its Next Generation Enterprise Network (NGEN). However, that contract option would only be exercised if the NGEN transition is further delayed.
