text: Proof offered for P vs NP mathematical puzzle Science 11 August 10 by Duncan Geere Duncan Geere In 1971, Stephen Cook and Leonid Levin -- a pair of pioneering computer scientists on opposite sides of the Iron Curtain -- independently posed a question that has flummoxed generations of researchers since. It's called P vs NP, and essentially asks whether any problem whose answer can be quickly verified by a computer can also be easily solved by a computer. However, a researcher claims to have found proved what many suspect -- that P does not equal NP.To get some idea of what P vs NP is, imagine you're choosing 100 co-workers to go in a new building from a list of 400. All well and good, except that your boss gives you a list of pairs of co-workers that can't be in the same building. It's a nightmare to generate a list from scratch that satisfies your boss's requirements, but it's very easy to check whether a list offered to you by someone else satisfies the conditions -- you just run down the pairs. P vs NP asks whether it's possible to build a supercomputer capable of generating that list -- taking a "brute force" approach by checking every combination of workers in a reasonable amount of time.In the symbols, P represents a set of problems that are solvable in a practical amount of time, whereas NP represents problems that have answers that can be easily checked to see if they're correct. Stanford University's Complexity Zoo refers to NP as "the class of dashed hopes and idle dreams".Working out whether those two classes are the same might not sound particularly troublesome, but it's considered one of the most important problems in the field, with extreme consequences both practical and philosophical if a proof can be found that P does equal NP.For example, most forms of cryptography are NP problems, so the internet's monetary transaction system would need to be replaced, a series of protein structure breakthroughs would spur considerable advances in biology and most branches of logistics would no longer become an issue, because the traveling salesman problem is also an NP problem.The question is one of the Millennium Prize problems, defined by the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2000, which carries with it a cash bounty of $1,000,000. Only one of the seven problems has been solved at the time of writing, but that might be about to be raised to two because a chap named Vinay Deolalikar, who works as a research scientist at HP Labs and has previously published several well-received papers on the topic, claims to have proof that P is not equal to NP.Deolalikar says: "The proof required the piecing together of principles from multiple areas within mathematics. The major effort in constructing this proof was uncovering a chain of conceptual links between various fields and viewing them through a common lens. Second to this were the technical hurdles faced at each stage in the proof."This work builds upon fundamental contributions many esteemed researchers have made to their fields. In the presentation of this paper, it was my intention to provide the reader with an understanding of the global framework for this proof."That paper, which is 100 pages long and filled with terrifying sentences such as: "We embed the space of covariates into a larger product space which allows us to disentangle the ?ow of information during an LFP computation", hasn't yet been peer-reviewed, and has been updated a couple of times already since being published on the web, so it'll likely be still some time until the proof can be verified and accepted.But the mathematical community have mostly suspected for some time that P does not equal NP, with a survey in 2002 of 100 researchers indicating that 61 believed the answer to be no, nine believed the answer to be yes and 22 to be unsure. One researcher who answered "no", Scott Aaronson, justified his belief by saying:"If P equals NP, then the world would be a profoundly different place than we usually assume it to be. There would be no special value in 'creative leaps', no fundamental gap between solving a problem and recognising the solution once it's found. Everyone who could appreciate a symphony would be Mozart; everyone who could follow a step-by-step argument would be Gauss."Interestingly, eight believed the problem to be impossible to either prove or disprove, an issue acknowledged by Deolalikar, who says in the paper: "Resolving the P vs NP question might be outside the domain of mathematical techniques. More precisely, the question might be independent of standard axioms of set theory."But so far, the proof has met with a cautiously warm reception from other researchers. Stephen Cook, one of the original posers of the question, is reported to have said: "This appears to be a relatively serious claim to have solved P vs NP." Richard Lipton added: "The author has advanced serious and refreshingly new ideas of definite value, and deserves time and space to develop them more fully."Beyond making Deolalikar a considerably richer man, the only real practical impacts of an accepted proof that P does not equal NP would be that researchers would be able to focus their attention elsewhere. But it would also represent a significant advance in complexity theory and could perhaps raise more interesting questions for the future. Edited by Nate Lanxon Comments P VS NP2 does not equal 1 bearon1 Aug 11th 2010 So a theorem for creativity?I rather read a fairytale about dreams. 88 butterfly Aug 12th 2010 If the computer is capable of checking the results for accuracy, then would it be cheating if it was set to keep generating random results and then checking those results for accuracy? Eventually it would 'solve' the problem by stumbling upon the correct results and being able to verify those results as accurate.So in the New Building example above, it could pick out 100 random employees and check that list against the 'couples' list. If the list does contain both members of one of the couples then it could reject the list and generate a different random list. Tedious work for a human and a clumsy approach, but for a computer it would be possible. mesMorgan Aug 12th 2010 In reply to mesMorgan Its more a question of practicality. Given an infinite amount of time, any problem can be solved by a computer, but this is not practical... You would be surprised how large and difficult some of these can getOn the other hand, most problems can be verified by a computer way too fast Nicholas May 3rd 2012 If it could determine a set of most likely results based on odds, beginning with 1/4 assuming one person wasn't completely disagreeable to more than one other, randomly select from the lists, it could creatively come up with an answer, then run through them until hitting the correct combination. This is what multi-core processors are for. We're getting there, still doubling every so often. Eventually we'll double the processors in a CPU until it can instantly generate the answer. Each processor that hits a negative response can discard it, and work on the next combination, and as results are whittled down exponentially increase the likelyhood of a positive response- especially if done at random.An eternal monkey in a room with a keyboard, verses millions. Actually this would make a fun social experiment... I want to launch a site where visitors are prompted to randomly hit a single key on their keyboard. The keystroke is recorded. After say 100,000 hits the results could be displayed and we could see what comes up... gibberish, or words selected by an eerie collective consciousness. LOL eternalgreenknight Aug 12th 2010 Thank you for one of the very few good posts on the subject. A fundamental question is whether the P?=NP issue is a way of addressing both the human brain and creativity. There are many problems that people address everyday that are NP. The question is are the human solutions to these problems actual human calculated solutions, or are they just lucky random guesses? Is human creativity and insight a physical calculation of the human brain, or are some people just randomly starting closer to the solution than others, making their random guesses more likely to be right than others? The Foldit experiment on line where people are figuring out protein folding problems better than computers is an example. If it is a human calculation, then it should be possible to perform a similar calculation on a computer, and solve a lot of practical problems (like finding where to get our energy from). If it is all just random, then the only way to solve problems is to have a lot of people start guessing and hope someone gets lucky.Note, though, if it IS provable that P!=NP, then it does not mean that these problems can not be solved. There could still be larger-than-P but smaller-than-exponential solutions that would be practical on large fast computers for important problems. PG Aug 13th 2010 The answer to the question is indeed found in probability.In a quantum (counting) system, the universe uniquely has the highest probability of one (unity), a number that is resonant with every counting number.Resonances below that occur with every counting prime number with probability (as opposed to frequency of occurrence) that decreases exponentially with counting order.Non-prime counting numbers (and resonances), increase in probability by counting order, because they resonate with one or more other prime numbers.Complexity is then described by non-prime numbers that are factors (and resonant) with ever larger prime numbers.Complexity is required for increasing probability of expression as the counting order becomes higher.This explains why ever greater complexity occurs in a universe subject to entropy.Does P = NP?If there were a lone "Creator" of the previously described universe, the answer, with certainty, would be "YES."For a computer, for example, the answer is decidedly "NO," because there will always be an uncertainty (confirming Shannon entropy). Richard McBroom Aug 18th 2010 The Primacy Rule: In the previously described quantum (counting) universe a void or denied expression is completely filled by proximate causes—a simple mathematic-geometric paradox, or "dark expression" in a universe absent zero (witness this post itself). Richard McBroom Jan 25th 2012 The Elemental Rule: In the previously described quantum (counting) universe, a theoretical observer would surmise that the universe evolved from the "bottom up" rather than from the "top down" (witness the everyday periodic table of the elements, virtually displaying an inverted and reversed image of reality). Richard McBroom Mar 14th 2012 The Endurance Rule: In the previously described quantum (counting) universe, an expression endures the cascade of elements by epochal emulation of the evolutionary process through recapitulation of primacy expression (witness the cycle of birth and death). Richard McBroom Apr 10th 2012 The Invariance Rule: In the previously described quantum (counting) universe, the momentum of expression can neither surpass nor lag the transitional rate of general progression for long without catastrophic recovery (witness further the cycle of birth and death). Richard McBroom Apr 25th 2012 The Oscillation Rule: In the previously described quantum (counting) universe a denied expression produces oscillation expressed as a void that is completely filled by proximate causes (witness the electromagnetic spectrum, including gravity with the special frequency of 1*).*Note: Prime number resonances with 1 occur in the physical world with the number 12357 (a nice number for particle physics), because of base10.

All the Gospels refer to the period when the heavens were just beginning to brighten in the east. This, of course, does not take place until the sunrise is at hand. For it is the brightness which is diffused by the rising sun that is familiarly designated by the name of the dawn … For as the day breaks, what remains of the darkness passes away just in proportion as the sun continues to rise.
Augustine of Hippo
Harmony of the Gospels
Mary Magdalene
The squabbling soldiers gone, the women got
What fell to them. Beneath the drooping eyes
Of Pilate's guard (the afternoon was hot)
They laid him out and shooed the stinging flies,
Rubbed linen strips with myrrh and aloes, rinsed
The dust from limbs whose wounds no longer bled.
As if the crown still pressed there, Mary winced
When, with a separate cloth, they wrapped his head;
And she recalled the pressure of his palm,
The scent of spikenard, Simon's baleful stare,
And how, the whole house filling with the balm,
She wiped his wet feet with her loosened hair.
Days later, at the empty tomb alone,
She thought first of his pierced and broken feet
And wept, incredulous. But he was gone,
The wrappings, neatly rolled, still faintly sweet.
A gardener was bending in the shade
Among the gravestones. Trembling with dismay,
She cried, "Where is he? Tell me where you've laid
His body. Who has taken him away?"
He didn't answer. When she called again,
The stranger stood and took a step or two.
Her fear became bewilderment. And then
He said her name, and suddenly she knew.

Kid's Brains Affected By Social Media
You may have thought that the headline should read "Social Media Changes Minds" because of all the wonderful things that social media adds to our lives (I'll let you determine what wonderful things it does for you). But across the pond there's concern that social media is actually changing the brains of young users. Of course, this story wouldn't be any fun if it was simply saying that the kids are getting smarter and smarter because of endless hours in front of a screen while forming 'relationships' (more on this one later). Au contraire! Apparently the brains of young folks are, in effect, being rewired by these kinds of interactions and this rewiring is not a positive thing.
Oxford University neuroscientist Susan Greenfield tells the world in the Daily Mail that more parents are finding their kids don't communicate well and have difficulty concentrating away from their screens. The flattering assessment of social media continues with information like
Sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Bebo are said to shorten attention spans, encourage instant gratification and make young people more self-centred.
I think this may be happening to folks of all ages. The difference is that the impact on a child's brain is more profound because it is still developing whereas an adult brain is already developed. Adult behavior that changes is just that; a behavior that can change. The fear is that developing brains can actually be altered because of this MTV generation on steroids approach to media. Lady Greenfield continues by saying:
'It is hard to see how living this way on a daily basis will not result in brains, or rather minds, different from those of previous generations,' she said.
My fear is that these technologies are infantilising the brain into the state of small children who are attracted by buzzing noises and bright lights, who have a small attention span and who live for the moment.
'I often wonder whether real conversation in real time may eventually give way to these sanitised and easier screen dialogues, in much the same way as killing, skinning and butchering an animal to eat has been replaced by the convenience of packages of meat on the supermarket shelf,' she said.
So there is little doubt that the manner in which we interact is being changed by the Internet. Most of the coverage has been about the evolution of our ability to communicate with more and more people. One could argue that our communication is becoming an inch deep and a mile wide but that makes sense in a world that too often values quantity over quality.
So what is it Pilgrims? Are we becoming a society that is mistaking typed interactions with our virtual friends for what once defined a real relationship like face to face conversation, a handshake, a phone call and even spending extended time in the direct presence of another person? Are your online relationships as real as traditional ones? Let's talk about it around the warm glow of the comment fire. Pass the virtual marshmallows!

The Lake Center Christian School has contracted the Uniontown Police Department to provide traffic supervision at the intersection where a police captain was killed directing traffic Tuesday morning.
Lake Center Christian School has contracted the Uniontown Police Department to provide traffic supervision for about eight years, according to Supt. Matt McMullen.
A veteran police officer for Uniontown and Hartville police departments, Capt. Daniel P. Stiles, was killed while directing traffic near the school Tuesday morning.
Uniontown police officer killed
McMullen said his school contracts with the police department for traffic supervision, and that the school pays the individual officers the police department assigns to provide the service.
"The Uniontown Police Department has been good to us and our community," McMullen said. "Our prayers are going out to the families of those involved."
The vehicle 2004 Ford Explorer that hit Stiles was driven by a 39-year-old Uniontown area woman, according to a news release from the Ohio Highway Patrol.
The Patrol's Lt. Eric Sheppard said in a news release that the woman was driving east on Route 619 about 7:55 a.m. Tuesday when she struck Stiles at Kaufman Avenue NW.
Stiles had been "on-duty, in uniform and wearing a full fluorescent jacket" as he directed traffic there, Sheppard said. The woman told investigating troopers that her vision had been impaired due to the glare of the morning sun, he said.
Stiles died a short time later at Akron City Hospital.
Sheppard said the results of the crash investigation will be forwarded to the Stark County Prosecutor's Office for review. No charges will be filed before then.

New versions of puppets released!
For those of you who don't know yet, we've released new versions of our Halloween-themed puppets (all except Frosty) for the 2012 Halloween season. Get them on the main ImaginEERIEing site.
Please note that these puppets have different features than the 1.x series, so be sure to try them out in advance of using them in an attraction. Most notably, the microphone input and prescripted performance control modes are now gone. The former caused huge problems for many people and delivers subpar performance, and the prescripted performance setting is now easily covered by screen capture software.
All the new versions of the puppets are free upgrades for existing users. Enter your serial number for an older version of the puppet, and it should work.
Happy haunting!

Working on new puppets for 2012
For the 2012 haunting season, we're (sadly) not introducing any new puppets. But we are rewriting our digital puppets from the ground up, and will be releasing them as a free update to all users.
Here's what's going on. Our current digital puppets were created in a 3D framework called Adobe Director. Unfortunately, Adobe's support of the Director product has been nothing short of abysmal; the last update was released in the year of our lord 2008. Up until now, it hasn't posed a problem, but with both recent versions of Mac OS X and Windows, our puppets are starting to fail, and since it appears Adobe is not going to update Director, we have no way of fixing these problems for our customers. (Thanks, Adobe.)
So, we're porting our puppets over to the robustly-supported Unity platform. We're having to do everything from the ground up, but our puppets are going to work better, and we'll be better able to support them on this new platform.
If you've purchased one of our puppets in the past (except Frosty), and would like to help us beta test the new puppets, drop us a line!

The Rosetta Dongle
All I wanted to do was use Lightwave on my OSX laptop without installing Rosetta. Not such an outrageous request, given that OSX is a supported platform, right? I have a registered copy that ran fine before updating my system software, but now I don't want to install Rosetta - I want to run it under straight-up OSX. So I download the updater files, and I'm all paid up and everything, and I've even got my hardware dongle plugged in. (Seriously, what is this, 1996?) I run the installer. It installs the OSX version. Almost there!
Then I get this message: "Donglecheck requires Rosetta to run. Want to install it now?"
You know, if I wanted to install Rosetta, I wouldn't bother downloading the OS X update, now would I?
NewTek, if you're going to make my life difficult and use separate programs to enforce and/or unlock your clumsy, draconian DRM, at least keep them up to date. Don't make me install Rosetta for the sole purpose of unlocking your software (that I've already unlocked!) so that I don't have to run it under Rosetta.
That's worse than having no OSX version at all - at least then, I'd be installing Rosetta for some real purpose.
Sadly, this is not an isolated frustration - it is indicative of the software NewTek ships: haphazard, buggy, obtuse, nonsensical, poorly-thought-out software running on the fumes of long-passed greatness, all protected by paranoid, burdensome DRM disproportionate to the value of the software it protects.
I make purchasing decisions about 3D software for our multimedia studio. I'm going to be making a different choice for 2011.

Okay, this is the geekiest thing I've ever done
Today, in my sci-fi tabletop roleplaying game I'm refereeing, that I wrote the rules to myself, I let my players use their iPads or iPhones to connect to a web application I wrote which emulated the actual sci-fi personal data assistant their characters use in the game world.
Let me reiterate this so it sinks in. I wrote a web application for fictional people to use on fictional devices. For a sci-fi tabletop roleplaying game. I am geek.
Here's the thing, though - it was a hit! The campaign is about unraveling a mystery about a murdered friend in a dystopian future, and this allows the players to investigate, analyze, and explore on their own, in a way that evokes the setting. The web app tracks the leads that the characters can follow up on, provides background information about the game world, and gives them a way to "receive data files" from characters. For instance, I was able to drop in new leads on-the-fly using my own iPad as they appeared in the story. It worked really well; the players were using it practically the entire time.
In fact, they're requesting new features for their in-the-game-world PDA. I'm about to get even more geeky - I'm going to be a fictional software developer responding to in-game-world software update requests... Gah!

New Sci-Fi Campaign
Unlike my usual medieval fantasy fare, I'm branching out into new, unfamiliar territory: sci-fi. Thinking back on my refereeing history, I cannot remember running a campaign in an original sci-fi world, and I certainly never refereed sci-fi of the stripe I'm running now: "hard" sci-fi with a dark edge to it. Back in the day, I played Metamorphosis Alpha, Gamma World, and Star Frontiers (sadly, I never tried Traveller), but to be honest, these are just fantasy games with sci-fi trappings. They don't cleave closely to what sci-fi is really about: exploring who we are and where we are going as a society. Those other games just replace orcs with aliens and dragons with bugblatter beasts, and call it a day.
I'm going for realism, plausibility, and social commentary with this campaign, and even though we've only played one session, I think I'm off to a good start, but man, is it difficult. I'm way out of my comfort zone here. Even though both fantasy and sci-fi worlds are fictive and require answering questions on the fly about geography, social norms, economics, technology, etc., the bar is higher when it comes to sci-fi, because if it's going to be believable, there has to be two things that you don't need in fantasy: (a) a plausible path from "now" to the time the game world is set in, and (b) enough creative looking ahead to make it sci-fi without becoming ridiculous. Magic in a fantasy setting, it turns out, provides the would-be referee with a lot of crutches, because you can literally get away with anything when magic is in the mix. To a certain extent, you can do that with sci-fi technology, but the bullshit detectors of the players is a lot harder to get around when you're trying to achieve realistic technology.
I may have bitten off more than I can chew. The fictive universe of this new campaign is not Star Wars or Star Trek. It's as realistic as I could make it while still allowing some of the sci-fi tropes I wanted to bring in, such as visiting other star systems on some kind of reasonable time scale for telling stories. There are no alien intelligences in this game world - humans are all there are. Life, it turns out, is (relatively) abundant in the universe, but the vast majority of it is bacteria, algae, and the like, with a rare planet boasting more complex forms. I felt good about taking this approach, thanks to recent discoveries in Astronomy, but it still omits a LOT of the standard sci-fi storylines. Mars needs women, but it's just in the usual way that Earth needs women, because humans live there now.
So your typical space opera is out, which begs the question: what are the details of what is in? I'm having to flesh out a game universe that is a lot more detailed than I usually create. Already, in this first session, even with all the thinking and prep work I did, I ran into a whole slew of questions that needed adjudication on the spot. How do people back up their data in the future? How do people share contact information? What do peoples' living quarters look like? How has law enforcement technology changed over the years? How much surveillance is there? How do people go to the bathroom (do we still use paper, or are there the "three seashells")? How has religion changed?
Ultimately, though, that stuff doesn't matter. My players are smart and in it for fun, so if I screw something up, they can handle me retroactively changing stuff if I really have to. What matters is setting a compelling challenge at the players' feet, and that, thankfully, is the same task as in any system or game world. Even with all the starfaring and high technology that is available in this new universe, it's a human story they'll be exploring: understanding the death of a beloved friend. Emotion is the hook. Hopefully, that will make the story worth experiencing for me and for my players.
We'll see if I can pull it off. Wish me luck.

ADDED_TO_STAGE doesn't always fire
I was struggling with a problem in Actionscript 3 for two hours trying to figure out why some ADDED_TO_STAGE events weren't firing on some MovieClips I had added to some MovieClip symbols I was instantiating.
I had four identical symbols, all the same class inherited from MovieClip, added to another MovieClip symbol in the library. Each would register for an ADDED_TO_STAGE event in itself in the constructor, but when the parent MovieClip was instantiated and added to the stage, only the first of the four MovieClip would actually fire.
The solution? Instead of registering for the ADDED_TO_STAGE event in themselves, I registered in "this.parent", i.e., I would watch for when the parent MovieClip gets added instead of the MovieClip itself. It works, but doesn't seem right. What if I need to make the parent MovieClip a sub-clip of another MovieClip? Will it break again? And how do I remove the listener if the parent changes?
I like the concept of Actionscript 3, but in practice, I'm finding lots of gotchas that make development seem harder than it should be.

PHOTOS: Florida's rejected license plates aren't always offensive
Bushnell, Florida -- It took a jury of six about two hours of deliberations to find 34-year-old Charles Darnell and 21-year-old Jaren Hare guilty on all counts against them.
Each was found guilty of manslaughter, third degree murder and child neglect in the death of Hare's 2-year-old daughter Shaiunna, who was killed after she was strangled by the family's pet python in 2009.
Photo Gallery: Python kills Florida toddler
Hare cried as she was walked out of the courtroom.
Sentencing is set for August 24 at 1 p.m.
"Justice was served. I'm happy it was served," said the child's biological father, Joey Gilkerson.
One of the jurors who asked not to be identified said the decision was an emotional decision, but the right one and a decision they were collectively 100 percent comfortable with.
"They were responsible for the safety of a 2-year-old who could not provide for her own safety and they had every opportunity to have understanding that there was some kind of risk involved in having such a large animal that could, even under the most remote circumstances, it was possible that the child could be injured and it was their duty to make sure there was no possibility that a two year old would either be bitten or harmed," said the juror.
Investigators say the python named Gypsy was starving, because it had not been fed in at least a month.
During closing arguments, prosecutors brought in the tank where Gypsy was kept. A quilt placed on top and held together with clothespins was the only thing holding the snake inside the tank.
"Ridiculous," said prosecutor Peter Magrino, pointing to the tank.
Just prior to the child's death, investigators say the python had escaped, as it had done several times before, and was found in the hallway.
Darnell allegedly found it, put the python in a mesh bag and back into its tank before going to sleep that night. Still, the python managed to escape and find its way to Shaiunna's crib about 12 feet away in the small trailer home.
Darnell woke up to find the python wrapped around the 2-year-old who had bite marks on her forehead. Even though he tried to kill the snake, it was too late. Shaiunna was already gone.
In his closing arguments, Magrino called the couple "irresponsible caregivers" who housed a dangerous Burmese python improperly around the toddler, calling her death "needless, senseless and careless."
The prosecution also reminded the jury about Hare's mother's time on the stand when she testified that she had expressed concern about the snake being inside the home. They even had a conversation about a snake in the Everglades that was pictured trying to eat an alligator, she testified.
The defense contended it was an accident, that the couple never imagined in their wildest dreams that the python would kill the child.
"There was no way for Mr. Darnell to have known the snake would do something like that," said defense attorney Rhiannon Arnold.
The defense attorney told the jury they're not guilty of third degree murder, manslaughter or child neglect, but of stupidity.
"He's not guilty of neglecting that child, he's guilty of making a stupid decision of having a stupid pet. That's what he's guilty of. He's guilty of not being a dog lover and liking snakes," said Arnold.
With the guilty verdicts, the couple now faces up to 35 years in prison.
They previously turned down a plea bargain that would have sent them to prison for ten years.
"He didn't want to go to prison," Arnold told 10 News on Monday, "[He] didn't believe he's responsible, certainly not of murder or manslaughter."
While Darnell took responsibility for the care of the python, it was Jaren Hare's pet since she was 14 years old.

Kai to National Team! (Posted: 2/3/2006)
Congratulations to Natasha Kai on her invitation to the U.S. Women's National Team Training Camp to be held at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California. As the University of Hawaii's all time leading scorer, U.S. Women's National Team Coach Greg Ryan, at the time the U21 Coach, invited Kai to participate with the U21s. In 2004, she was the leading scorer for the team at the Nordic Cup in Norway. In late 2005, Kai was invited back to the U21s as an overage player (the tournament allows 3 players over the age of 21). After a great training camp, Kai was invited to go to England with the U21s. However, Coach Ryan called and told her they would like her to attend the full National Team camp. Kai was a member of the Leahi 83 team under Coach Michele "Bud" Nagamine and Coach Scott Keopuhiwa. She currently plays with the Leahi Women's Open team. The Kahuku High School grad is the first woman from Hawaii invited to train with US Women's National Team. We all hope China (Women's World Cup and Olympics) are in her future!

CAPITAL DISTRICT Rosemary Loveland has spent the past two years painting The Crossings of Colonie. She's accumulated 93 pieces of art — oil paintings and "painterly" photographs — and they're on display at the William K. Sanford Library from Jan. 3 to 30 in an art exhibit she put together for the residents of Colonie.
"I thought it would be really interesting to the people of Colonie to see their Crossings done as art," said Loveland. "I did it as a gift to the people of the town."
Loveland also decided to tackle documenting life at The Crossings as a challenge to herself. Since graduating with a bachelor's in fine art from SUNY Albany in 1997 at the age of 50, she's focused mainly on still life painting. Landscapes were completely foreign to her, and a bit out of her comfort zone, but it was something she had to do.
"I was never successful at landscape and wanted to challenge myself to grow as an artist, to make myself learn how to paint landscape," said Loveland. "I'm not even sure if I'm successful [at it] now, but it's done and it's the best I can do."
Some pieces are simply pictures of the natural world — birds frolicking, the sun sinking behind treelines, bright flowers and green grass. But others capture the people who enjoy The Crossings every day, from children sledding down a hill to a group of walkers to dogs and their owners.
"With the photos I tried to alter them enough so a person wasn't really recognizable, and in the paintings I tried to maybe paint the back of the head … so people aren't too recognizable, but yet I do think there are people who probably will see themselves," said Loveland.
When she first scored a space and time for her art exhibit, she told herself she would create 60 images to display. She took more than 1,000 photographs, which she used to create her paintings, and as time ticked by, she decided to alter a portion of those photos in Photoshop to exceed her art quota.

ST. LOUIS (KMOX) – If Missouri American provides your water and it tastes a little different lately — don't worry.
Company officials say it's normal and perfectly harmless, caused by the recent snow-melt along the Missouri River.
They say users may notice a change in the taste and odor of their tap water, which officials insist are "natural occurrences" and won't change the fact that the water is safe to drink.
The water's safe to drink and use. Officials with Missouri American Water say more than 500 water quality tests are performed per day to ensure that tap water meets — or exceeds — all state and federal standards.

Kanye West left in the dark at Global Gathering
The rapper's 'illuminating' show fails to shine
Photographer: Shirlaine Forrest28 July 2008
As reported the Chicago rapper was set to be the only act on the main stage because of the extent of his current show, but
organisers decided that Scratch Perverts would go on before hand to warm up the audience.
The hip-hop star certainly had enough lights to attract passing planes to start landing on the now disused Long Marston Airfield, Stratford-upon-Avon, but the full orchestra, dancers and intergalactic special effects that fans were expecting didn't materialise.
Having to contend with Teisto for crowd numbers West decided to pull out all his hits including 'Gold Digger', 'Diamond Are Forever' and recent number one 'American Boy', but he was only backed by singers and a small band.
'Touch The Sky', 'All Falls Down' and the Daft Punk-sampling 'Stronger' received loud cheers during the over-hyped set.
It seemed that Daft Punk were the flavour of the weekend with the French duo's tracks dropped by many DJs including Mark Knight who played 'Around The World'.
The 55,000 revellers that attended the festival were treated to high temperatures all weekend as well as shows from the likes of progressive house star Deadmau5 who wore a giant mouse head for his set and Etienne De Crecy who also proved popular.
Revellers came from all over Britain and abroad to see the likes of Moby, Mark Ronson, 2 Many DJs, Felix Da Housecat and John Digweed, but there were complaints about the quiet sound levels.
Elsewhere the Red Arrows returned for their traditional show over the airfield on the Saturday afternoon and Fred Flintstone could be found wrestling with Ali G as festival-goers got into the spirit of things.
Check back for our full review and photos from the festival.

- If you're a surfer or scuba diver camping at Grayland Beach State Park, you might want to drive to Westport for your favorite water activity.
- The Jetty is the local name for the surfing break in the park, and this is where most of Westport's surfing action takes place. Although local surfers have a reputation for guarding their surf, there's plenty of room to spread out here.
- Other surfing spots in the area include Half Moon Bay or The Cove (not a beginner spot) and The Groins, a.k.a. The Finger Jetties, near the entrance to Grays Harbor. For the best local info on surfing, talk to the folks at The Surf Shop or Steepwater Surf Shop, both in Westport.

Are these available pre-curved, or will a #3 YKK zipper flex enough to curve such as in a door to a net tent?
They flex.Of course it depends on your radius.When un-zipped they look a little wavey.
when i do these i use a large garage type trash can to make the c part. I am too lazy for any real thinking and just line the curve up to my 2 straight lines. Cut it open and insert the zip. -Tim
I've never tried cutting first and then installing. I've always sewn in the zipper and then cut the opening.H

Most cacophony events were one-off affairs, just enough to jam the culture a bit before moving on.
Truth, truthiness, in this mass media cacophony we live in, comes up something for grabs.
Badges hanging from their necks boast small national flags, and a cacophony of accents represents more than 20 countries.
Is democracy helped or harmed by the cacophony of opinions online?
To help cut through the cacophony of positive and negative economic reports this month, we turned to a Nobel laureate.
Undeterred by but four hours' rest, punctually at six the cacophony of brass began again.
Then it was cacophony, a thousand different shouting voices.
Men to me were a sort of musical instrument from which I could evoke any harmony or cacophony I chose.
A cacophony of loud shouts from behind him told of the arrival of reinforcements.
There was a cacophony of hisses in her toothless mouth, enough to make all the dogs in Paris howl.

The clean visual proof that single-use bag fees work
March 30 2010 | Plastics, Jim's Blog,
by Jim
Money, as if we needed a reminder, is the ultimate motivator.
The January 2010 numbers are in and bag use is down, waaaaaaaaay down.
If the massive reduction in single-use plastic bag pollution isn't enough. The fees raised, $150K thus far, is ear-marked to be spent on clean up of the nearly and heavily polluted Anacostia River.
As much as the phrase "win win" has always bugged me. It sure seems to apply here.
Kudos to the Washington DC Chapter on this.

Katy Perry was getting down in the desert and Coachella over the weekend, and she reportedly wasn't doing it alone.
"Page Six" reports that the "Birthday" singer was hooking up with producer Diplo at the music festival.
"Katy and Diplo hooked up at Coachella. They were together behind the main stage, where she had a bus or trailer, and a group of her friends were hanging out," a "Page Six" source said, while a Radar insider added, "It definitely looked like more than [friends]! At one point he even had his arms around her."
But she must not be trying to impress him too much, as she's been tweeting some icky things about the festival.
"Sand is the new dry shampoo. #coachella," she wrote on Sunday, later adding, "It's the Tuesday after and I still have Coachella boogers. Loser!"
Still, all that means is that Katy had a good time, and perhaps she had a companion.
Do you think Katy and Diplo would make a good match? Weigh in below!

Abstract. This study involved a longitudinal analysis of academic skills and problem behavior through elementary school. The purposes of the study were (a)to explore the interactions between reading skills and problem behavior, and (b)to determine the value of regular screening assessments in predicting which students would not respond to school-wide behavior support in fifth grade. The participants were elementary school students who entered kindergarten in 1998and completed fifth grade in a school district with school-wide reading and behavior support systems. Analyses consisted of logistic regressions to predict the number of discipline contacts in fifth grade. Results indicated that both reading and behavior variables (including kindergarten reading variables) significantly predicted the number of discipline referrals received in fifth grade. Results are discussed in terms of determining pathways to problem behavior and implications for a combined approach to academic and behavior problems.

Ohio students mark 1-year anniversary of fatal school shooting
CHARDON, Ohio — One day after a teen gunman pleaded guilty in the deadly school shooting in northeast Ohio, students marked its one-year anniversary on Wednesday with hugs, supportive messages and a somber march through town.
The march by Chardon High School students, walking arm-in-arm in the damp cold from the school to the town square, was an emotional highlight during the day's commemoration.
Photos of the three slain students were displayed, onlookers applauded marchers and firefighters hung a large American flag from an aerial ladder.
The march ended at the courthouse where the shooter, T.J. Lane, 18, had pleaded guilty Tuesday to all charges. Lane could face life in prison at his sentencing March 19.
The observance honored Daniel Parmertor and Demetrius Hewlin, both 16, and Russell King Jr., 17, who were killed in the Feb. 27, 2012, rampage. Three others were injured.
Students arriving for classes passed an outdoor school sign with the names of the victims and the message: "2-27 A Day of Remembrance." Across the street, a heart-shaped sign in the school colors of red and black had the message: "One Heartbeat."
The slain students' relatives on Wednesday sued Lane and his family, seeking damages and alleging negligent supervision by his parents and grandparents. Attorneys who filed the case said the families want to ensure Lane never profits from his crimes.
"Hopefully this lawsuit will help answer a lot of questions that still remain and help bring closure for the families and the community," attorneys Peter Marmaros and W. Craig Bashein said.
In Columbus, the Ohio House observed a moment of silence. Rep. John Patterson, who represents Chardon, said he planned to introduce a bill to designate highways in the names of the three victims.
Patterson told his colleagues that they couldn't control tragedies or fully prevent them. The Jefferson Democrat encouraged parents to tell their children they love them.

Hao's current research centers on the analysis of spatial and space-time data. These kinds of data are being observed in many fields such as climatology, geophysics, geology, natural resources, agriculture, health sciences, economics and marketing. Technological advances have made it feasible to collect and archive space-time data at large scales that were not possible in just a decade ago. These massive and correlated data create challenging and interesting statistical problems, and demand innovative computational and methodological research.

2013 Award Winners FAMILY FRIENDLY HOTEL OF THE YEAR 2013
Hotel Westport, Westport, Co Mayo
Our Family-Friendly award is more highly valued each year, as times change and more people opt to holiday at home. We look for the places that cater especially well for families by providing the range of services and activities for varying ages and interests that make for a stress-free break. This year we've made this category a priority, with a team of young families testing special breaks all over the country on behalf of the Guide. The results have been very mixed, showing up a big divide between those who do it well, like our winning hotel, and the rest. What's very clear is that a lot of hotels need to clean up their act and stop treating families like some kind of second-class guests filling in until the 'real' ones start coming back again - and there are huge opportunities in this area for well-run businesses, who can gain a new young clientele by catering to this market with respect by genuinely meeting their needs.
With their leisure centres and other all-weather activities, the best family-friendly hotels are a very good holiday option indeed, and this large, well-managed hotel deserves its place as a favoured destination for families. It's at the centre of an interesting tourist area and its convenient location - quiet, yet almost town centre situation (no need to keep taking out the car) - is a big plus, also the helpful 'can-do' attitude of friendly staff. Great facilities include a white flag leisure centre & spa, also a Panda Club for 4-12 year old children during Irish school holidays and mid-term breaks.
Constant refurbishment and upgrading is the norm, food is well above average for an hotel, and it's good value too – all of which will make it a happy choice for any family.

Her results differ from other ethnographic research done elsewhere, such as in Japan and Britain, where the story often focuses on justifying why the relationship had to end. Character was the emphasis overseas, not the method.
"The American undergraduates I interviewed were not discussing their breakups in terms of the right balance of dependence, or even the kind of people who might break up," Gershon added.
"The closest an interviewee came to describing herself as a particular type of person was a woman who decided not to show anyone else the text breakup message her ex had sent her. Even this example shows that U.S. undergraduates were using the 'how' of the breakup as the narrative frame to explore what an end of the relationship might mean for them."
In many cases, the young people Gershon interviewed were looking for validation that it had been a bad breakup and the medium was crucial evidence.
In the paper, Gershon cited one example of a breakup done through a text message. "Rebecca" wanted to talk on the phone with her former boyfriend to have what she considered a "proper ending to the relationship."
"As in most of the narratives I collected, the 'how' of the breakup was the central focus of Rebecca's story," Gershon said. "This 'how' stood in for other questions that haunted Rebecca as well -- namely why her ex-boyfriend decided to break off the relationship.
"Rebecca and others did not focus on the 'why' of the breakup or the 'who' of the breakup, although this course would come up in the narratives as secondary themes," she said. "By focusing on the 'how,' she was able to avoid these often unanswerable questions -- unanswerable questions like why the breakup had happened in the first place and who really was to blame."

About Your Tour Guide:
Your guide was born in Charleston in 1958. His first ancestors arrived in South Carolina in 1792 after fleeing the revolution in Haiti. Hailing from a family of 'long generations' and longer memories, your guide offers stories passed down over time, instilling a genuine fascination and love for the city of Charleston. His illustrious tour guiding career began in 1980, and involved a pitchfork atop a pile of horse dung in a carriage barn on State Street. Seeking cleaner work, your guide spent a number of years in the real estate development circles, incorporating historic preservation and reclamation of the Radcliffeboro neighborhood in midtown Charleston into his work. After graduating from the Medical University of South Carolina, he worked in healthcare outreach.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Do tours take place when it's raining? -- Yes, tours go out rain or shine. If there is rain in the forecast, please dress appropriately, and remember to bring your umbrella. Please note that you spend well over an hour of this tour inside a few historic buildings.
What should I wear? -- Always wear comfortable shoes. Charleston sidewalks can be uneven, so open-toed shoes are an invitation for stubbed toes. In the summer, the southern sun can burn you, so wear sunscreen and a hat. Carrying a cold bottled water is allowed, and advised whenever it's hot. In the winter, keep in mind that Charleston is only 4 miles from the open ocean, and the winds can be cold and harsh. Consider wearing layers that you can remove if you get too warm.
What should I bring? -- Bring your camera and a bottled water in the summer. If you smoke, you must refrain during the tour, as a
courtesy to other guests. Dogs are not allowed on this tour because guests enter several historic buildings.
Can we bring our kids? -- We welcome all ages on the tour. Please note there is a reduced price ticket for children ages 6-12, and children under 6 can come along for free. Due to City of Charleston laws, all guests must be counted in every tour, so everyone needs to be represented on an E-Ticket - even kids under 6 who come along for no charge.
Does the tour end back where we started? How far do we walk? -- The tours cover no more than 1.5 miles over 2.5 hours. Think of it like a stroll during which you'll stop several times along the way. The tour ends about a half-mile away from the starting location. Your guide will be happy to assist you with returning to the tour's departure point, or guiding you toward your next stop in Charleston.
Does the entire tour take place outside or do we enter any buildings? -- You will spend as much time inside as out, and entry into the Powder Magazine, the Heyward Washington House and the Edmondston Alston House is included. Occasionally, guests are allowed to enter the Dock Street Theater, depending on time and availability. Overall, you will spend well over an hour of this tour inside.
What is the maximum number of people per tour? -- Charleston law prohibits walking tour groups of more than 20 participants, and this tour qualifies as a small group tour for that reason.
Are the tours always the same? -- Due to time constraints (appointments to enter the museums,) the route is fairly structured, but the tour can vary somewhat, depending on the topics of interest of our guests. Regardless, you will always get a great tour of historic Charleston, and learn about its incredible history.
Are there restrooms along the way? -- Yes, the museums have restrooms which can be used during the tour.
Is the tour wheelchair and stroller accessible? -- Unfortunately, this tour is not wheelchair and stroller accessible. We enter a number of historic buildings on this tour, not all of which are handicap accessible or able to accommodate wheelchairs. Small umbrella stroller that can fold easily and be carried when you go inside a building are highly recommended.
Will I be able to shop and buy souvenirs along the way? -- No, this tour is not set up for shopping, as it is mainly a residential area that is not conducive for shopping.
Is there parking available nearby? -- Yes, there are several parking lots and garages near the meeting location. Specific parking information will be provided on your E-Ticket after purchasing this tour.
Are the tours only conducted in English? -- Tours are only offered in English at this time.
Tour is not wheelchair accessible. Tour does not include hotel pick-ups. Rates are per person. Please order online or call to order or for more information.
