I'd say that the combo of a WPB shell (TRULY breathable) is OK for most 3 season backpacking IF you can avoid heavy exertion while wearing the down jacket.I know of a 16 F. day in August, 2009 on the southern PCT that I'd have given a kidney for a down jacket instead of my double T-shirts, L.S. poly shirt, 200 weight pile vest and PacLite parka. It just wasn't enough, even W/ all those layers, for about 2 hours that frigid morning. Now, with my new Eddie Bauer Down Sweater I'll have with me on next week's Tahoe Rim Trail I'll be fine. A wool balaclava goes along too, and some fleece gloves. My massuse is wearing down too. :)
Dan,What kind of a down jacket are we talking about here (which one do you use)? I could see wearing a down "sweater" under a WPB shell around camp, but anything bulkier (such as a Patagonia DAS parka) seems too much, as those type of down jackets are usually "standalone" jackets.
I contacted the Italian company and they provided the following on the jacket pictured earlier on this post.Dear Mr John,thanks a lot for your enquiry.First of all, let me introduce you to Mr Jesse Mattner (firstname.lastname@example.com) who is reading in copy and who is the director of CAMP USA, in Broomfield, Colorado.From the information you filled in in our web site I see you are from Washington...Mr Jesse will inform you if he has some stock of this jacket and where and how you can buy it.I can tell you that this jacket was in last year collection and right now is out of production, but in Italy we have in stock some pieces of M size, colour black/silver. Here enclosed you can find the technical data sheet.Mr Mattner will provide you other information regarding availability and so on.Should you need further info, do not hesitate to contact me,best regardsRoberta TagliaferriExport DepartmentC.A.M.P. S.p.A. - Via Roma 23 - 23834 PREMANA (LC) - Italy -Phone +39.0341.890117 - Fax. +39.0341.818010 - Web : www.camp.it I don't have the know how on how to attached the jpg that came along with the email. Here's the low down.The jacket weighs 299 grams/10.55 ounces (medium)Full length waterproof zipper3 layer eVentAdjustable waist and cuff with elastic cordTwo front pockets with waterproof zipperFoldable/adjustable hoodArm pocket for essentialsI'm impressed that they got all this under 300 grams.
I turned up a completed auction of Ebay for a red one that sold for $150. The seller has one left in a medium if anyone is interested. She's in Colorado .
Just to clarify, when I said to go up one size on the Rab/ID stuff, I say that assuming you're just wearing "normal" clothing. IE, if I'm wearing a 150-wt wool and a midweight wool, I definitely need to go up a size to a large.
This jacket looks interested from C.A.M.P. 6.7 oz $119.99http://www.camp-usa.com/products/apparel/b-dry-jacket-1808.aspWhat are you're thoughts?
Kyle,I noticed they called it an 'Emergency Rainshell'. I don't know if it'll take hours of rain.
I think this is what you all are looking for Compact Event Shell They only have medium left in redThey have the pants in small and medium also Compact Event Pants
where can i find the sizing chart for camp jacket?

SULPHUR, Louisiana (KPLC) -- An old newspaper clipping brings now 37-year-old Amy Hastings McGee, of Sulphur, Louisiana back to a time of promise after a life-changing diagnosis of end stage renal disease.
"They discovered that I was obviously born with only one kidney," she said, "that kidney disintegrated as I grew older."
That one working kidney was only functioning at five percent, the size of a sweet pea, but serving the role of filtering toxins out of the entire body.
"Any waste that you may have in your body. Anything you eat or drink - your kidneys balance that out," said Amy.
Amy's failing kidney could not do the job and at age 11, she had her first kidney transplant. "Here I was in Sulphur, Louisiana," said Amy, "and I got a call to go to New Orleans where I got a cadaver kidney from a little boy in Pine Bluff, Arkansas."
That kidney lasted for two years, then began failing

Waste Industries service delayed due to weather
by Celia Shortt
Waste Industries will remain closed on Thursday, Jan. 30, due to the severe weather in Coweta County and the Atlanta area.
"Safety is our first priority—both for our own employees as well as for the communities we service," said Byron Hurtado General Manager of Waste Industries in Atlanta, GA. "It is simply not safe for our trucks to traverse neighborhoods and businesses under the current conditions." Waste Industries is hoping to resume normal operations on Friday, Jan. 31, pending their ability to operate safely in the weather conditions. Weather permitting, they will resume their normal service schedule on Friday, servicing Friday's normally scheduled routes.
"Customers with missed services from Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday will be fully serviced on their normally scheduled day next week (February 4th, 5th, and 6th)," said Hurtado. "Waste Industries' is aware that because these customers were missed due to weather this week they will have extra trash out at the curb on their upcoming service day. Waste Industries will fully service these customers, and apologizes for the inconveniences brought on by the unpredicted weather."

Beginner's Guide to Configure Windows 8 / 8.1 Services
UPDATE: This tutorial will also work in Windows 8.1.
If you are a long time reader of this website, you might be aware of our exclusive service configuration guides which we have posted for previous Windows versions such as Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. These guides help you in tweaking Windows built-in services startup type to stop them from running automatically in background so that you can improve your system performance and can make your Windows faster.
Following are our previous service configuration guides:
- Beginner's Guide to Configure Windows 7 Services
- Beginner's Guide to Configure Windows Vista Services
- Beginner's Guide to Configure Windows XP Services
We always try to provide these guides as simple as possible so that all Windows users can understand and follow them. Following the tradition, today in this tutorial we are going to provide a similar guide for Microsoft's latest OS Windows 8.
This article will provide you a simple and easy to follow service configuration guide which will help you in making Windows 8 faster than before because less services will run in background.
So without wasting time lets share our Windows 8 services configuration guide:
Since Windows 8 is based on the previous Windows 7 OS, almost all built-in services in Windows 8 are similar to Windows 7 services. There are a few new services introduced in Windows 8 and also a few old services have been removed from Windows 8.
One thing which we noticed while using Windows 8 is that its already very fast and we didn't find any need to disable any background service to make it faster. It runs very smooth and definitely its faster than any other Windows version.
But if you really want to tweak it and want to disable unnecessary background services, you can follow the simple steps given below and can set unwanted services startup type to manual:
NOTE: Always set a service to manual, never disable it. If you set a service to manual, Windows will be able to start and use it whenever it needs the service. But if you set a service to disabled, Windows will not be able to start the service and will show you error messages.
1. To customize Windows 8 services configuration and to change services startup type, you'll need to open Services Manager. You can open it by using any of following ways:
a. Move your mouse cursor to bottom-left corner of screen and right-click on the corner, you'll see a menu containing various system shortcuts. Its called "Win+X Menu" because you can also access it by pressing WIN+X keys together. Now click on "Computer Management" option and it'll open a new window.
b. Open My Computer and you can click on "Manage" button present in the ribbon.
c. If you have enabled My Computer icon on Desktop using Desktop Personalization window, you can right-click on the icon and select "Manage" option.
Once Computer Management window is opened, click on "Services and Applications -> Services" in left-side pane. It'll show the services configuration screen.
2. Alternatively, you can directly open the same screen using services.msc command in RUN dialog box.
3. Once you access services manager, you are ready to configure Windows 8 services startup type. You can sort the services by their startup type by clicking on "Startup Type" column. It'll help you in find all running services easily and quickly.
4. Now you can double-click on a service and read its description to know whether its an important service or not. If you think the service is not important, you can set its startup type to MANUAL.
If you are unsure which services should be set to manual, following is a small list of services which can be safely set to manual without causing any problem to your Windows:
- Computer Browser (If your computer is not connected to any network)
- Diagnostic Policy Service
- Distributed Link Tracking Client
- IP Helper (If you don't use IPv6 connection)
- Offline Files
- Program Compatibility Assistant Service
- Portable Device Enumerator Service
- Print Spooler (If you don't have a printer)
- Remote Registry (You can set it to DISABLED for Security purposes)
- Secondary Logon
- Security Center
- Server (If your computer is not connected to any network)
- TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper (If you are not in a workgroup network)
- Windows Error Reporting Service
- Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)
- Windows Search (If you don't use Windows built-in Search feature frequently)
5. Once you change services startup type, close services manager and restart your system to take effect.
Now you should notice a little bit improvement in your system performance. If you face any problem, you can restore the services startup type to automatic using services manager again.

Tallinn is a historical city dating back from the medieval times and was first recorded on a world map in 1154, although the first fortress was built on Toompea in 1050. In 1219, the city was conquered by Valdemar II of Denmark, but it was soon sold to the Hanseatic League in 1285. The city - known as Reval at the time - prospered as a trading town in the 14th century, and much of Tallinn's historic center was built at this time. Tallinn then became a pawn in the geopolitical games of its big neighbors, passing into Swedish hands in 1561 and then to Russia under Peter the Great in 1710. By World War I and the ensuing brief Estonian independence (starting 1918) Tallinn's population had reached 150,000.

Directions on learning Russian: all levels
Sometimes when you start learning a language you do not know what to do further in order to improve it, especially when you do not have any books and learning it on different websites. Websites mey not have enough information or it might be not very clear or lack examples.
I will try to give some guidelines here for different levels:
alphabet, phonetic rules, learning to read words, writing,
learning: basic expressions(hi, how are you, I am ok etc),
grammar - present tense (learn verbs, how to conjugate them in the present tense)
nouns - gender, expression noun+verb(according to gender), adjective+noun(endings peculiar for each gender)
Learning new word is essential for any level, especially for beginners and internediate.
Grammar, new words, improving your spoken skills, ability to render your point of view.
You are suppposed to be able to discuss, express your point of view, have a good vocabulary including scientific, business terms. Understanding of different accents. Good reading, writing.
The next level is Fluent when you need to further improve your skills, mainly speaking and enlarging your vocabulary.
Forgot to add: Intermediate is when you start figting with your accent.
This is how I personally see it. I do not mind if someone disagrees with me.
I, personally, have a diferent approach and it differs depends on student pace, skills, talent for learning language, memorization, will to learn, available time for stydying, knoledge, background and just mood. In one word my approach is more flexible.<br>
Also my However I like your plan and it might be successful in many cases.
Sorry for typos. My comment came out not very clear, so I am trying again :)
I, personally, have a different approach and it differs depending on student pace, skills, talent for learning language, memorization, will to learn, available time for studying, knowledge, background, student's goals and sometimes time frame. In one word my approach is little more flexible and personalized.
However I like your plan and it might be successful in many cases.
Agree. Thanks

Pegatron CEO Tips Possibility of Mid-Priced iPhone
June 21, 2013
The long-rumored cheaper iPhone may indeed be on its way, but it might belong in the mid-tier rather than in the budget category.

ITC Slaps Apple in Samsung Infringement Case
June 6, 2013
The U.S. International Trade Commission has partially reversed an earlier ruling and found that Apple infringed one of Samsung's patents after all, leading it to ban the import of certain older iPhones and iPads. The ban includes such products as the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, original iPad 3G and iPad 2 3G. The iPhone 5 and the fourth-generation iPad remain unaffected.

Apple Falls From Investors' Grace
April 18, 2013
Apple's stock took another hit on Thursday, sinking to a dismal $392.25 by the closing bell.

On Wednesday, Apple's shares dipped below $400 per unit for the first time in more than a year.
Samsung Under the Gun for Alleged Anti-HTC Rumormongering
April 17, 2013
Taiwan authorities have launched a probe into charges that Samsung hired students to post disparaging comments about HTC online.

The complaints sprouted earlier this month when Internet users claimed that Samsung had contracted students to write online content attacking HTC and lauding Samsung.

The changes will not force Google to amend its algorithm, but instead will require it to clearly label search results from its own properties.

On the flip side, why should I create extra work, just so I can identify when Apple ditches the skeuomorphic microphone from its solid but utterly lifeless Voice Memos app?

Taiwan Semiconductor May Win iPhone Chip Biz
April 3, 2013
Apple might be ditching Samsung as a chip partner in favor of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, according to a published report.

T-Mobile's No-Contract Revolution
March 28, 2013
When new T-Mobile CEO John Legere was trash-talking the cellular service competition by characterizing their contract plans as "bullsh*t," it took me a couple of days to realize there was far more to his new no-contract iPhone plan than gleeful profanity. T-Mobile is the last of the big four U.S. cellular service companies to offer the iPhone.

March 27, 2013
Apple's purchase this week of GPS startup WiFiSLAM is the latest attempt by the company to put some distance between it and the 2012 debacle that was the launch of its own high quality maps feature. The tech giant paid about $20 million for WiFISLAM, according to published reports.

The announcement about the iPhone, though, was the headliner.

We tend to be slow to see change. If a company is on top, like Apple was, it takes a lot for us to see its fortunes have changed, as they clearly have post-Jobs. If a company is on the bottom, like BlackBerry was, it may be even tougher to see it on the rebound. We simply don't like the change in our worldview, and this isn't just with regard to companies but people as well.
The Z10 Has Arrived, and Thorsten Heins May Be a Miracle Worker
March 22, 2013
Times are changing for BlackBerry. The BlackBerry Z10 smartphone, which runs the new BlackBerry 10 operating system, has finally hit store shelves in the U.S. What's more, BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins has been taking swipes at Apple -- and no one is laughing in utter disbelief.

Japan was a fantastic experience! Let's see ... we had a warm welcome from friends, were treated to a traditional tea ceremony, Rocky did a presentation on Education for Sustainable Development at a Kyoto university, we took in a baseball game, rode the bullet train, ate AMAZING food, witnessed why the Japanese have only half the ecological footprint of folks in the U.S., and left ready to return asap. Here are a few illustrative photos.
For those of you who don't read Japanese, this says "some groovy dude from California is talking about the role of higher education in sustainable development" (or something like that).
I had a FANTASTIC interpreter!
Here are my Japanese colleagues who co-presented.
We were treated by my colleague Shinichi Furihata to a wonderful traditional tea ceremony the morning before my presentation. Beautiful gardens, tea room, and ceremony! Ryder loved the green tree frog in the garden.
We took the bullet train to Kyoto (fantastic) and along the way ...

We also took in a Japanese baseball game and hung out with the WILD fans!

Modern quilting, with its bold new contemporary style marked
by graphic designs made from bright fabrics, is attracting young and old, new
and experienced quilters.
Modern quilting designs by Elizabeth Hartman. Details of the Crazy Nine-Patch Lattice quilt (top) and the New Wave quilt design (above).
While there is no set definition of "modern quilting," Alissa Haight Carlton (a
quilt designer on the forefront of this trend), has written that modern quilt
design shares traits with the quilts of Gee's Bend, Alabama, and many classic
Amish quilts: graphic, high-impact (yet simple) quilt designs featuring bold
color choices, irregular and improvised piecing rather than strict adherence to
traditional quilt patterns.
In an article for Stitch magazine, reprinted in the 2012 issue of Modern
Patchwork magazine, Alissa writes that modern quilt designs "might also add generous amounts
of negative space around focus blocks, using white or a light neutral fabric to
create bright, open space, and refreshing visual impact."
Contemporary fabric choices are also hallmarks of modern quilting, especially
those created by a new wave of textile designers, such as Heather Ross, Anna
Maria Horner, Denyse Schmidt, Amy Butler, and Heather Bailey.
Having said all that, it's important to remember that each modern quilter
brings her or his own creativity and style to their quilting designs.
Elizabeth Hartman is a high-profile quilter who explores modern quilting design
and technique on her blog, ohfransson.com.
Modern quilt designer Elizabeth Hartman.
In her article in Modern Patchwork, Alissa asked Elizabeth about her evolution
as a quilter.
Q. How long have you been quilting and how did you start?
Elizabeth: I've been quilting since the late 1990s; quilting
appealed to me because it involved both making useful objects and sewing lots
of color and pattern together.
Q. What makes you a modern quilter?
Elizabeth: This is such a hard question, because the answer can be as simple as
"because I do contemporary work" and as complicated as an esoteric discussion of
modernity as a movement and/or the impossibility of defining the nature of creative
work as it's happening. I would say that I'm a modern quilter because, while I appreciate
the rich heritage of quiltmaking, I don't quilt as a way of connecting with
that heritage. I quilt because it's my preferred form of creative expression
Q. How did you decide to start a blog?
Elizabeth: Between 1999 and 2009, I worked in a corporate office. In my downtime,
I read crafting blogs, and I must admit that I envied all those sewers who seemed
to be doing so many fun and creative things. I knew that I didn't have the background
to just go out and get a job in a creative field, but I figured I could start a
blog for fun, so I did.
Q. What do you love most about modern quilting?
Elizabeth: I think most self-defined modern quilters are more interested in creating
work that is about what they want to do now, in their own time and place.
If modern quilting and patchwork grab your interest, you can find out more about the modern quilt design movement plus get 37 contemporary projects and patterns by downloading Modern Patchwork now.P.S. What about you? What do you want to do now in quilt design? Tell me about it in the space below.
I have been quilting for about 15 years. When I follow patterns, my completed quilt only resembles the pattern photo. So, I usually begin with the fabric and let it lead me to the sewing pieces of the quilt top and the quilting pattern. My preference is primary colors, and pale pastel geometric patterns, so I guess I am a contemporary patchwork quilter. I do what brings me joy. And I am hooked on pattern sites for inspiration, and quilting blogs for the same reason. Love you work because it is so cheerful. Thanks.

HP Phone Home
HP Phone Home
As you will see if you read our news, Hewlett Packard, which everyone calls HP, was big this month. The computer giant announced some sweeping changes, including sweeping changes to undo the sweeping changes they announced a few months ago.
Sweeping changes are always part of the scene in an economic downturn, but I can't help thinking it is better to figure out what you want to do and sweep in one direction, rather than trying to sweep several ways at once.
As a cultural icon, HP predates the personal computer era. When I was a teenager, no one had a smartphone, but all the geeky kids had calculators, and HP calculators were the coolest and geekiest calculators of all. With their elegant design and distinctive reverse polish notation, they washed coolness back onto the owner. At once simple, yet inscrutable to the uninitiated, they were the iPhone of their era. But that was many years ago. HP's mystique didn't make the transition into the computer era.
Their printers had a solid reputation for a while, but HP was one of many computer vendors to wake up one day and discover that the PC hardware market just doesn't lend itself to mystical brand names. In today's world, people buy PCs the way they buy cans of corn and beans at the grocery – a vague memory of a logo lingers until around dinnertime, but no one has any real expectation that one particular logo leads to a significantly different experience.

The Grothendieck trace formula as categorification, II: the function-sheaf correspondence May 21, 2009Posted by Ben Webster in Algebraic Geometry.
So, I started this series a while back with this post, by talking about some sheaves on an algebraic variety. This post will probably not make a lick of sense to those who haven't read the first part yet, though you're welcome to try. The upshot of that was that one has a machine into which one can can feed in
- a variety defined over (i.e. defined by polynomials with integer coefficients)
- a choice of stratification of (a good example might be the orbits of an algebraic group with finitely many orbits, so for example, the Schubert cells on a Grassmannian)
- a set of acceptable local systems valued in your favorite field k (though, if want to do things properly, your favorite field should probably be ).
and receive out the other end a category. The cool fact about this category is that you can think of it as sheaves on the complex variety or its analogue over characteristic p (let p be your favorite prime) and you will get the same answer. The former category has the advantage of involving geometry that you probably care about, like the cohomology of smooth varieties, and the latter has the advantage that there is a Frobenius acting.
What I'd like to explain in this post how to analyze the structure of this category, and what that has to do with categorification. This will require a bit of machinery, but believe me, the result will justify it.
If you want to categorify things, one thing you'd like to have around is a bunch of categories whose Grothendieck groups you understand. That way, if you're in the market for a categorification, you know where to browse.
Euler characteristic
Now, what we would like to do is analyze complexes of constructible sheaves by associating functions to them, in a way that gives information about the Grothendieck group. The functions we would really like to use are the Poincaré polynomials (graded dimensions of the cohomology, and I mean as a complex, not sheaf cohomology) of their stalks. This would send, for example, the constant local system to the constant 1 function, which is good. The problem is, this would send every local system to a constant function, which is bad. Even worse, the Poincaré polynomial isn't an invariant of Grothendieck classes, because there's a long exact sequence on stalks for each exact sequence in the category of complexes of sheaves. Instead, all you get to keep is the Euler characteristic, which is lovely, but for our purposes pretty weak tea.
However, the Euler characteristic can point us in the right direction. What is it? If one thinks of the dimension of a vector space as the trace of its identity operator, then the Euler characteristic is the supertrace of the homology (the alternating sum of traces; the alternating is necessary to work with long exact sequences). So, if we had a different operator on the stalks that was natural in the sense that it commuted with all long exact sequence differentials, then we would be cooking with gas.
Mixed sheaves
That's exactly what the Frobenius allows us to get. First of all, we need to consider objects with a bit more structure than just a sheaf. Rather, we need a sheaf that is equivariant for the Frobenius action, that is, with an isomorphism . For any sheaf which is somehow geometrically natural (for example, the constant sheaf for any abelian group), there's no trouble doing this, though of course, one can always modify this action, say by scalar multiplication.
Now, this Frobenius structure may not seem so exciting, but it is rather important, because it commutes with everything you can possibly imagine. For example, if we have a short exact sequence of complexes of sheaves , then we have a long exact sequence relating the cohomology of these complexes
and all these maps commute with the Frobenius. In particular, if one looks at a point which is fixed by , that is, a point in , then there is an induced action of the Frobenius on the stalk at this point.
The function-sheaf correspondence
So at each point in , we get a map from the Grothendieck group of our category of sheaves to the base field k, given by the supertrace of on the stalks. Put another way, for each sheaf in our category, we get a series of functions , which only depend on the class of in the Grothendieck group. Think of this as a map of the Grothendieck group to the direct sum of functions on for all n.
I learned this from the book of Kiehl and Weissauer, but it's much older than that. I'll leave attribution to the comments.
Theorem. This map is injective.
So, this tells us a lot about the Grothendieck group of our category. But this theorem is most interesting because it's functorial, in a certain sense. Let denote compactly supported pushforward of sheaves and the naive sum-over-fibers pushforward of functions on finite sets. Similarly, let denote the obvious pullback of sheaves, and the obvious pullback of functions on open sets.
Theorem. We have equalities , and .
So, lots of geometric operations on sheaves are easy to understand in this picture. Better yet, I've talked about the non-equivariant version, but I believe this will work just as well for morphisms between stacks, in which case the points will be a groupoid, not just a set, and the theorem above will say that pull and push on a correspondence is sent to the action of the corresponding span of groupoids on functions (this part, I'm less sure about, though I would be shocked if it wasn't at least morally right).

This is interesting and I would like to understand it…
What is p and what is q? Also, where is the differential operator on stalks which you were after? Where is the analogue to the Euler characteristic? Is it the supertrace of $Fr^n$ on the stalks? Why are you multiplying the Frobenius by p?
- 5. Peter McNamara - May 22, 2009
I can't see anything about multiplication of the Frobenius by , did this get edited out? I'm wondering, is this the mysterious and secretive Tate twist?
So if I'm extrapolating my buzzwords correctly, I guess that if is a sheaf (or an element of the derived category of), then the notation means to shift in degree by and twist the action of Frobenius by multiplication by .
Knowing something about this twisting would be interesting, for example where it naturally comes up. Though as a non-contributor to the mathematical blogosphere, I can't really make too forceful a request.

- 9. Matthew Emerton - May 22, 2009
Regarding Tate twists, I wouldn't quite describe these as merely book-keeping (perhaps because I am a number theorist).
For example, as a simpler version of the pushforward example in comment 7, if X is P^1 (or in fact any smooth, connected, projective curve) over F_q, then the l-adic cohomology of H^2(X) will not be Q_l, but rather will be Q_l(-1); i.e. a copy of Q_l on which Frobenius acts by q^{-1} (the inverse cyclotomic character).
This is actually very natural: H^2 is generated by a fundamental class. Where does this class come from? Well, thinking topologically, you choose a point x in X, take a disk D around x, and consider the pair (D,D-x). The H^2 of this pair gives the fundamental class. But this is the same as the H^1 of D-x, so H^2 of a smooth projective curve is naturally identified with H^1 of a punctured disk, or if you prefer, with A^1-{0}. (The punctured affine line.) Since H^1 is dual to H_1, we see that H^2 of a curve is dual to H_1 of A^1-{0}.
Now H_1(A^1-{0}) = \pi_1(A^1-{0}), and this we can actually compute concretely. The covers A^1-{0} –> A^1-{0} given by raising to the nth power give all finite covers, and they have deck transformation groups equal to \mu_n (the group of nth roots of unity). Now covering space theory identifies (the profinite completion of) \pi_1 with the inverse limit of these groups of deck transformations, i.e. with the inverse limit of the groups \mu_n.
Now we know how Galois acts on the groups \mu_n: via the cyclotomic character. Thus Galois acts on H^1 of A^1-{0} by the cyclotomic character, and hence on H^2 of our curve X by the inverse cyclotomic character. (A technical remark: if we are working l-adically, we actually restrict n to run over powers of l, but this doesn't affect anything.)
The above argument is more heursitic than rigorous, the way I've written it, but it is in fact a good explanation as to why Tate twists arise in cohomology.
If X is smooth, connected, and projective of dimension d, then its fundamental class looks like the product of d fundamental classes of a curve, and so H^{2d}(X) will be Q_l(-d), the dth power of the inverse cyclotomic character.
Suppose that we want to compute cycle classes. If Z is a codimension i cycle in X (and let me assume is it smooth, just so I can speak about its fundamental class, although this isn't actually necessary), then the fundamental class of Z transforms by inverse cyclotomic to the d-i, so we get a map
H^{2(d-i)}(X) –> H^{2(d-i)} = Q_l(i-d).
By Poincare duality (and remembering that the fundamental class of X transforms as a -dth Tate twist), we get a map
Q_l(-i) –> H^{2i}(X),
or twisting both sides by i, a map
Q_l –> H^{2i}(X)(i).
(The target is the 2ith cohomology of X, Tate twisted i times.)
The image of this map is the cycle class of Z. It lives in dimension 2i, as you would expect, but not with trivial coefficients, but rather with
coefficients twisted i times.
The moral of this particular story is that Tate twists appear naturally whenever one is thinking about fundamental classes in cohomology over non-algebraically closed fields.
(Another well-known example comes from Tate modules of elliptic curves: it is a well-known fact that the exterior square of the Tate module is equal to the cyclotomic character as a Galois module. Since the Tate module is the H_1 of the elliptic curves, this is just dual to the fact that the exterior square of H^1 of an elliptic curve is canonically H^2 (via the cup product), and Galois acts on H^2 by the inverse cyclotomic character — as a special case of the above discussion.)
- 10. Matthew Emerton - May 22, 2009
Regarding 4, if F is an etale sheaf on X over F_q, then when we base-change to F_q-bar, there are two steps:
First, we base-change X over F_q-bar, to get X-bar; it thus has an action of Gal(F_q-bar/F_q), i.e. of Frobenius. We then pull-back F via the natural map X-bar –> X. Since Frobenius acts as an automorphism of this map (by the first step), the pull-back is thus naturally a Frobenius equivariant sheaf on X-bar. Thus its cohomology over X-bar (which is what one means when one computes the etale cohomology of F, at least in the present dicussion) has a natural action of Frobenius.
All this was totally functorial in the sheaf F, of course, so if we apply it to the members of any diagram of sheaves on X over F_q, then the resulting maps on cohomology will all be Frobenius equivariant.
Short version: the final sentence of Ben's comment is correct.
- 11. Ben Wieland - May 22, 2009
David Speyer mentions "canonical generator the form which gives
the whole fiber volume 1." Basically that's an orientation. Maybe
it's intuitive to start with the case of C/R, where you can use
the "usual" topology. Complex curves have natural orientations, but if you
have a curve defined over R, you don't have complex numberscanonically. The Galois group acts on the numbers and thus the
curve, reversing orientation (think of P^1). People use the
orientation sheaf to deal with non-orientable manifolds, but they
should also use it to deal canonically with orientable manifolds.
Z(1) is the orientation sheaf on a curve and Z(n) on an
n-dimensional variety. The only problem with this analogy is that it degenerates: Z(2)=Z (unless you soup it up with Hodge
structures, etc).
Anyhow: think of the example of a variety defined over R.

DULUTH — The man found dead at the Bridgewater Apartments near Duluth has been identified as Deonte Moore, 19, of Norcross, a Gwinnett County police spokesman said Saturday.Maintenance crews discovered Moore's body in a wooded area behind an electrical box Friday morning. Moore appeared to have been shot at least once, spokesman Cpl. Brian Kelly said. "Detectives are currently pursuing all active and viable leads in an effort to identify and locate the criminals responsible for this shooting and murder," Kelly said in a news release Saturday. "Evidence recovered at and near the scene indicates that this shooting may have been, in part, motivated by the illegal sales of drugs." Police believe the fatal shooting may have happened Thursday evening at the apartment complex on Satellite Boulevard, when residents recalled hearing gunfire but didn't call police, Kelly said. Anyone with information about the incident is urged to call the Gwinnett County Police Department at 770-513-5300. Information can also be relayed through Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477.

KNIGHT, JACK L. (1917–1945). Jack L. Knight, Medal of Honor recipient, was born to Roy and Martha Knight on May 29, 1917, at Garner, Texas. He attended elementary school at Valley Springs and Garner High School. He graduated from Weatherford Junior College in 1938. Jack and his two brothers, Curtis and Loyd, enlisted in Troop F, 124th Cavalry, Texas National Guard, at Mineral Wells. The 124th, one of the last cavalry regiments in the army, was called to federal service in 1940 and posted to India, where it was charged with opening the vital Burma Road between India and China. On February 2, 1945, near Loi-Kang, Burma, during one of the last battles on the road, Lt. Jack Knight was leading his troop against heavy concentrations of enemy mortar, artillery, and small-arms fire. After taking the objective they encountered a nest of enemy pillboxes. Preceding his men he singlehandedly knocked out two pillboxes and killed the occupants in several foxholes before being blinded by a grenade. Jack's brother Curtis rushed to his aid but was himself struck down by a Japanese bullet. Jack ordered his men to Curtis's aid, while he continued to lead the assault until he was mortally wounded. His gallantry was responsible for the elimination of most of the enemy opposition. Louis Mountbatten, supreme Allied Commander in Southeast Asia, later dedicated the area as "Knight's Hill." On October 14, 1972, a marble marker was dedicated at Mineral Wells by Lord Mountbatten honoring Knight and the F Troop. On June 25, 1945, his Medal of Honor was presented to his father by Gen. Bruce Magruder at Camp Wolters, Texas. Knight's body was returned from Burma and buried in Holders Memorial Chapel Cemetery at Cool, Texas.

Press Releases & Statements
Ambassador Wayne Discusses 21st Century Border and Trade with Tijuana Mayor Bustamante and Business Leaders
Mexico City, October 1, 2011— United States Ambassador Anthony Wayne met yesterday evening with Tijuana Mayor Carlos Bustamante Anchondo in Tijuana to discuss the U.S. Government's commitment to creating a 21st Century Border that is as efficient at expediting the flow of legitimate trade and travel as it is at preventing illicit traffic.
During the meeting, Ambassador Wayne expressed special appreciation for the rapid municipal response during the San Ysidro port of entry construction collapse on September 14th, in which the Tijuana police worked closely with U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials to re-route heavy traffic, maintain order, and manage the overburdened approaches to the Otay Mesa port of entry.
"The city's quick reaction is just the latest example of the close coordination that exists between Mexican and U.S. authorities to act in the best interest of our inter-connected populations," Ambassador Wayne said.
Ambassador Wayne reiterated that the U.S. government is committed to creating a 21st Century Border infrastructure, noting that the ongoing San Ysidro port of entry renovation project will help facilitate travel for the more than 110,000 people who cross into the U.S. there each day to conduct business, shop, or visit family and friends. "We have a shared goal of increasing fluid travel, cross-border commerce, and investment in the border region," Ambassador Wayne said.
Continuing with the theme of facilitating cross border trade and investment, Ambassador Wayne participated in a breakfast meeting in Tijuana on October 1st with Consul General Steven Kashkett and Tijuana business leaders. During the meeting, Ambassador Wayne heard from representatives of both the Tijuana Economic Development Commission (DEITAC) and the Tijuana Mexican Employers' Council (COPARMEX) and discussed a variety of topics including trade, border crossings, tourism and security, innovation, youth leadership, and the importance of civic engagement.
Ambassador Wayne said, "I'm impressed by just how interconnected our two countries are in this border area in so many ways." The business leaders explained the economic impact of border delays, citing nearly 7 billion dollars not spent in the Tijuana-San Diego area due to long wait times, resulting in approximately 20,000 jobs lost in the region. Even so, Tijuana's productivity and deliberate focus on innovation produces benefits on both sides of the border, solidifying the area's status as a single economic entity. Tijuana exports 85 million dollars worth of goods to the U.S. daily; of particular note are technological products such as medical devices and flat screen televisions, including the majority of thermometers and pacemakers imported by the U.S. "We do not underestimate the importance of the area's economy, and we will continue to work with the business community to create a better future for our children and our societies", said Ambassador Wayne.

Dimitri Kechagias review: Tommy Trash is one of the hottest properties in electronic dance scene at the moment and straight from Australia comes to conquer the world with his very unique, personal and very explosive style. His latest creation comes on Pinkstar that provides at the moment big room must have progressive house bombs for the large clubs and huge festivals. Cascade is an instrumental banger that shakes and moves and is one of those tracks that dancefloor satisfaction is guaranteed. If you like driving beats coupled with electroish synthy riffs, nu rave attitude and the pizzicato style melodies better get ready to dance and enjoy yourself with Cascade. Full on and straight to the point its a highly functional and infectious piece of genious. Dont hesitate to press play and watch the clubbers go wild and the club promoter running to the dj booth asking to come back soon. Love It!

What would you talk about during a 3-minute TEDx Talk?
More people need to know how common it is to be adversely affected by natural and artificial chemicals. They can affect our mood, learning ability, hyperactivity as well as a myriad of physical symptoms including asthma, eczema, IBS, etc. My talk would about my personal experiences in this area, supported by scientific research and strong experiential feedback from schools and other savvy organisations. A surprising (and life-changing) realisation for many is that something as harmless as fruit can have a markedly negative effect on people who are sensitive to salicylates.
Come up with five words that describe you.

text: Any news on when a mass rebuild of Extras packages might be expected? I've just installed a new machine and found that some of the packages are straight imports from the FC3 tree (on x86_64). Sooner is better than later so people can start looking at why these things are failing. -Toshio PS: Thought for FC5 -- Could we have automated rebuilds for Extras after each test release? For community members to contribute to fixing packages we need to be able to generate lists of packages which are failing. Since development means people are using eats-my-babies rawhide it would make more sense to have the development packages be auto-built so breakage can be discovered in the development stage.

By Kevin Keen. CREATED Aug 26, 2013
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - A new revelation in an abduction case that's gone all but cold. On the eve of the seven year old's birthday, Isabel Celis' parents tell KGUN9 News there is a family member out there who they believe could help bring their daughter home but who is not talking.
Tucson police reported someone abducted "Isa" in April 2012. Detectives have said this case is still open and no one has been ruled out as a suspect.
Through interviews, car washes, posters and prayer, Becky and Sergio Celis have helped keep Isabel's face and story on Tucsonans' minds and streets.
"The person who's going to bring Isa home is that angel that's out there," Becky told KGUN9.
That "angel," she explained, has information to help crack the case.
She pointed to angels in similar cases throughout the country. In Ohio, for example, three young women went missing and then were rescued a decade later with the help of strangers.
"It had nothing to do with the police," she said. "It had to do with that community. Someone in the community just stepped out of the comfort zone and came up and said, 'I know something.'"
"It's the biggest test of having the patience of waiting for that," Sergio added.
But this time -- just before Isabel's eighth birthday -- they are not talking in general about someone somewhere maybe knowing something.
Sergio said there is one particular person out there with critical information and, he said, that person isn't talking to the family's hired investigator.
"It's frustrating to run against a wall of: this person has an attorney and they're not going to let them speak a word," Sergio said.
That attorney, he said, is "protecting somebody that we feel has a lot of information to give."
Sergio said the person refused to answer questions posed by the private investigator and others.
He said that person is a family member, but would not give the person's name because he didn't want to jeopardize the chances of the person coming forward.
The Celises also said they do not know the motivation for that person's silence and they do not believe that person committed a crime.
They said the individual had access to their home and might know of others who entered it.
They pleaded for any information.
"If it has to be anonymous, so be it," Sergio said. "We just want her home. We want our baby home. We want this nightmare over."
"But we wake up, we persevere, take care of our family, take care of each other," he said. "But there is a level of frustration out there that is beyond words."
"Until then, we just have to get up on the camera and keep begging -- begging for that person to have that strength," Becky added.
KGUN9 asked Tucson Police Department if there is a person or people whom detectives want to interview in this case but cannot or have not.
Update: It took two business days for the police department to respond. Sgt. Maria Hawke wrote in a statement late Tuesday:
"At this time, I can confirm that no known Celis family members or their friends have failed to cooperate with an interview when Tucson Police Department personnel have requested one of them. The investigation remains open. There is no new information regarding the investigation that we are able to release at this time."

is "Into Darkness" Quinto's last as Spock?
View Single Post
November 18 2012, 02:04 PM
Spock/Uhura Fan
Location: Where It's At.
Re: is "Into Darkness" Quinto's last as Spock?
Well, I'm glad he's under contract for 3 movies. It sounds like he may be tired of playing the part already, which is too bad. I think his character is the least replaceable of them all, and I don't want to see Uhura with a different Spock, and surely I do not want to see Spock killed off. I hope that's not what "into darkness" is referencing...
This could be a number of things or nothing. Things that it could be:
Fandom: I think he took a lot of heat for playing new Spock
as he was written.
I hope he knows that people were reacting to seeing a side of Spock that they weren't used to seeing far more than anyone actually thinking he didn't do well enough because he was fantastic in the role. Makes me think of drudging up my appreciation thread again.
Uhura: Okay, this is a passing thought, and I really hope all it is is a thought. He really doesn't' tend to play heterosexual characters with love interests. I think part of what might have drawn him to Spock is that you can see the character as asexual if you want to because he never really had any emotional ties to someone that way (that we could see). Then, imagine signing up for the role and reading the script only to find that your character is into kissing someone, and she's got boobies. Spock/Uhura are my favorite part of the reboot, but seeing as since Zachary came out a year ago and really is working for equal rights for that community, this could be a downer for him.
I really do hope there's no truth to this.
Or, this could just be contract renegotiation time, and if so, then I do support Zachary having the best deal possible without it being extreme. Last thing, he really could just be bored. We're only 2 movies in, the second one hasn't even been released yet, and already this franchise is having more than its fair share of problems.
So, that's my over-analyzing for the day.
. Hot damn, I can dig it.
The history of men's opposition to women's emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.

BioWare has sent word that the final chapter of Commander Shepard's heroic saga will unfold in the single-player Mass Effect 3: Citadel DLC, which is slated to release on March 5, for $14.99 or 1200 MS Points. As the last single player DLC pack for Mass Effect 3, the content will give fans one final, sentimental journey with Commander Shepard and their squad.
"The team has poured heart and soul into Mass Effect 3: Reckoning and Mass Effect 3: Citadel. As the launch of these chapters near, the feeling around the studio is bittersweet," said Casey Hudson, Executive Producer of the Mass Effect series. "We have always been humbled and driven by the passion of our fans for the Mass Effect trilogy. We hope fans will enjoy spending more time with some of their favorite characters — we have certainly enjoyed spending time creating them. We're excited to release this final sendoff for the trilogy and move forward into the future of the Mass Effect universe."
Here's an official description of The Citadel from the game's official website:
Embark on one last adventure with your team in Mass Effect 3: Citadel.
When a sinister conspiracy targets Commander Shepard, you and your team must uncover the truth, through battles and intrigue that range from the glamour of the Citadel's Wards to the top-secret Council Archives. Uncover the truth and fight alongside your squad – as well as the cast from the original Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, including Urdnot Wrex!
When the adventure is over, reconnect with your favorite characters from the Mass Effect Trilogy, try your luck at the Citadel's Silver Coast Casino, blow off steam in the Armax Combat Arena, or explore and furnish Shepard's own living quarters on the Citadel. With unique content and cinematics featuring your friends and romance interests in the Mass Effect trilogy, Mass Effect 3: Citadel offers one final chance to see the characters you have known for years and rekindle romances.
In addition to single player Citadel content, BioWare is also releasing the multiplayer Mass Effect 3: Reckoning DLC on February 26 for free that will give fans access to new characters, weapons and upgrades.
So, are you ready to say goodbye to Shep? Are you OK with paying $15 to do so? What about the whole "moving forward into the future of the Mass Effect universe" thing? Does that excite you? Let's hear your thoughts on this newly-announced Mass Effect 3 DLC in the comments.
