In mathematics and computer science, graph theory is the study of graphs: mathematical structures used to model pairwise relations between objects from a certain collection. A "graph" in this context refers to a collection of vertices or 'nodes' and a collection of edges that connect pairs of vertices. A graph may be undirected, meaning that there is no distinction between the two vertices associated with each edge, or its edges may be directed from one vertex to another; see graph (mathematics) for more detailed definitions and for other variations in the types of graphs that are commonly considered. The graphs studied in graph theory should not be confused with "graphs of functions" and other kinds of graphs.
Refer to Glossary of graph theory for basic definitions in graph theory.
The paper written by Leonhard Euler on the Seven Bridges of Königsberg and published in 1736 is regarded as the first paper in the history of graph theory.[1] This paper, as well as the one written by Vandermonde on the knight problem, carried on with the analysis situs initiated by Leibniz. Euler's formula relating the number of edges, vertices, and faces of a convex polyhedron was studied and generalized by Cauchy[2] and L'Huillier,[3] and is at the origin of topology.
More than one century after Euler's paper on the bridges of Königsberg and while Listing introduced topology, Cayley was led by the study of particular analytical forms arising from differential calculus to study a particular class of graphs, the trees. This study had many implications in theoretical chemistry. The involved techniques mainly concerned the enumeration of graphs having particular properties. Enumerative graph theory then rose from the results of Cayley and the fundamental results published by Pólya between 1935 and 1937 and the generalization of these by De Bruijn in 1959. Cayley linked his results on trees with the contemporary studies of chemical composition.[4] The fusion of the ideas coming from mathematics with those coming from chemistry is at the origin of a part of the standard terminology of graph theory.
In particular, the term "graph" was introduced by Sylvester in a paper published in 1878 in Nature, where he draws an analogy between "quantic invariants" and "co-variants" of algebra and molecular diagrams:[5]
One of the most famous and productive problems of graph theory is the four color problem: "Is it true that any map drawn in the plane may have its regions colored with four colors, in such a way that any two regions having a common border have different colors?" This problem was first posed by Francis Guthrie in 1852 and its first written record is in a letter of De Morgan addressed to Hamilton the same year. Many incorrect proofs have been proposed, including those by Cayley, Kempe, and others. The study and the generalization of this problem by Tait, Heawood, Ramsey and Hadwiger led to the study of the colorings of the graphs embedded on surfaces with arbitrary genus. Tait's reformulation generated a new class of problems, the factorization problems, particularly studied by Petersen and Kőnig. The works of Ramsey on colorations and more specially the results obtained by Turán in 1941 was at the origin of another branch of graph theory, extremal graph theory.
The four color problem remained unsolved for more than a century. A proof produced in 1976 by Kenneth Appel and Wolfgang Haken,[6][7] which involved checking the properties of 1,936 configurations by computer, was not fully accepted at the time due to its complexity. A simpler proof considering only 633 configurations was given twenty years later by Robertson, Seymour, Sanders and Thomas.[8]
The autonomous development of topology from 1860 and 1930 fertilized graph theory back through the works of Jordan, Kuratowski and Whitney. Another important factor of common development of graph theory and topology came from the use of the techniques of modern algebra. The first example of such a use comes from the work of the physicist Gustav Kirchhoff, who published in 1845 his Kirchhoff's circuit laws for calculating the voltage and current in electric circuits.
The introduction of probabilistic methods in graph theory, especially in the study of Erdős and Rényi of the asymptotic probability of graph connectivity, gave rise to yet another branch, known as random graph theory, which has been a fruitful source of graph-theoretic results.
Graphs are represented graphically by drawing a dot for every vertex, and drawing an arc between two vertices if they are connected by an edge. If the graph is directed, the direction is indicated by drawing an arrow.
A graph drawing should not be confused with the graph itself (the abstract, non-visual structure) as there are several ways to structure the graph drawing. All that matters is which vertices are connected to which others by how many edges and not the exact layout. In practice it is often difficult to decide if two drawings represent the same graph. Depending on the problem domain some layouts may be better suited and easier to understand than others.
There are different ways to store graphs in a computer system. The data structure used depends on both the graph structure and the algorithm used for manipulating the graph. Theoretically one can distinguish between list and matrix structures but in concrete applications the best structure is often a combination of both. List structures are often preferred for sparse graphs as they have smaller memory requirements. Matrix structures on the other hand provide faster access for some applications but can consume huge amounts of memory .
There is a large literature on graphical enumeration: the problem of counting graphs meeting specified conditions. Some of this work is found in Harary and Palmer (1973).
A common problem, called the subgraph isomorphism problem, is finding a fixed graph as a subgraph in a given graph. One reason to be interested in such a question is that many graph properties are hereditary for subgraphs, which means that a graph has the property if and only if all subgraphs have it too. Unfortunately, finding maximal subgraphs of a certain kind is often an NP-complete problem.
A similar problem is finding induced subgraphs in a given graph. Again, some important graph properties are hereditary with respect to induced subgraphs, which means that a graph has a property if and only if all induced subgraphs also have it. Finding maximal induced subgraphs of a certain kind is also often NP-complete. For example,
Still another such problem, the minor containment problem, is to find a fixed graph as a minor of a given graph. A minor or subcontraction of a graph is any graph obtained by taking a subgraph and contracting some (or no) edges. Many graph properties are hereditary for minors, which means that a graph has a property if and only if all minors have it too. A famous example:
Another class of problems has to do with the extent to which various species and generalizations of graphs are determined by their point-deleted subgraphs, for example:
Many problems have to do with various ways of coloring graphs, for example:
There are numerous problems arising especially from applications that have to do with various notions of flows in networks, for example:
Covering problems are specific instances of subgraph-finding problems, and they tend to be closely related to the clique problem or the independent set problem.
Applications of graph theory are primarily, but not exclusively, concerned with labeled graphs and various specializations of these.
Structures that can be represented as graphs are ubiquitous, and many problems of practical interest can be represented by graphs. The link structure of a website could be represented by a directed graph: the vertices are the web pages available at the website and a directed edge from page A to page B exists if and only if A contains a link to B. A similar approach can be taken to problems in travel, biology, computer chip design, and many other fields. The development of algorithms to handle graphs is therefore of major interest in computer science. There, the transformation of graphs is often formalized and represented by graph rewrite systems. They are either directly used or properties of the rewrite systems(e.g. confluence) are studied.
A graph structure can be extended by assigning a weight to each edge of the graph. Graphs with weights, or weighted graphs, are used to represent structures in which pairwise connections have some numerical values. For example if a graph represents a road network, the weights could represent the length of each road. A digraph with weighted edges in the context of graph theory is called a network.
Networks have many uses in the practical side of graph theory, network analysis (for example, to model and analyze traffic networks). Within network analysis, the definition of the term "network" varies, and may often refer to a simple graph.
Many applications of graph theory exist in the form of network analysis. These split broadly into three categories:
Graph theory is also used to study molecules in chemistry and physics. In condensed matter physics, the three dimensional structure of complicated simulated atomic structures can be studied quantitatively by gathering statistics on graph-theoretic properties related to the topology of the atoms. For example, Franzblau's shortest-path (SP) rings. In chemistry a graph makes a natural model for a molecule, where vertices represent atoms and edges bonds. This approach is especially used in computer processing of molecular structures, ranging from chemical editors to database searching.
Graph theory is also widely used in sociology as a way, for example, to measure actors' prestige or to explore diffusion mechanisms, notably through the use of social network analysis software.
Likewise, graph theory is useful in biology and conservation efforts where a vertex can represent regions where certain species exist (or habitats) and the edges represent migration paths, or movement between the regions. This information is important when looking at breeding patterns or tracking the spread of disease, parasites or how changes to the movement can affect other species.

This March, industry experts from around the world will speak on more than 800 sessions at the 2014 SXSW Interactive Festival. Today's installment of the Session Spotlight features Skooks Pong's (@skookspong) solo presentation, "The Future of Biometrics".
SXSW: What will your session at SXSW address?
Pong: We typically associate biometrics with identity verification or security, but often overlooked are the vital insights and ease of use biometrics enable. This presentation will look at the future of biometrics: the technology it requires, intelligent experiences it can provide, and what will ultimately drive consumer adoption. I will address the life-changing capabilities this technology can unlock.
SXSW: What will attendees learn by hearing you speak?
Pong: Technology, as well as our current interaction paradigm, is progressing rapidly. Biometrics will play a significant role in this progression. Attendees of the session will come away with a better understanding of the types of experiences biometrics can unlock and how those experiences will shape the future of human and device interactions.
SXSW: How do you stay current regarding news and development in the area of biometrics?
Pong: I take time each day to peruse some of my favorite tech blogs and publications including Techcrunch, Gizmodo, Engadget, GigaOM, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Verge, Lifehacker, Slate, The Week...just to name a few. Additionally, I follow a myriad of industry publications and forward thinking leaders on Twitter.
SXSW: What's something that's not in your official bio, that will help us to get to know you better?
Pong: My name, Skooks, is short for Skookumchuck, a Chinook jargon word for strong water. Skookum = strong and Chuck = water. Also, I love to play in the mountains. Living in Seattle gives me easy access to some great outdoor playgrounds! In the winter, I'm chasing the best powder for skiing. During the other seasons, you'll find me hiking and on my motorcycle. Spending time in the mountains allows me to completely disconnect and clear my mind.
SXSW: What gadget can't you live without?
Pong: Hands down, my favorite gadget right now is my iPhone5s. It is not only is capable of keeping me connected on multiple of levels, it is my point-and-shoot and video camera, as well as personal entertainment device. In my opinion, no other device on the market today is as easy to use or designed as well.
SXSW: At SXSW, we talk a lot about creativity and innovation. Who or what inspires your creativity?
Pong: My curiosity fuels my creativity. I am always curious to learn how things work – new technologies, new processes. I love when I can find a way to combine the old and new to make something new and innovative.
SXSW: Does the future of technology excite or frighten you?
Pong: It excites me! I consider myself an early adopter and look forward to new technology improving quality of life.

It`s Friday afternoon and I am bored ramblings.
Friday, August 27, 2010
It`s good thing that I work from home and there is nobody to check up on me. I hope that there is nobody from my head office on this site, because today was a total goof off day for me. Not to worry though as I am sure that there will be another day where I will put in 14-18 hours of work. It all averages out in the long run.
I have been easy going on tracking my food these days. My weight did creep up to 225 for a week or 2, but is now back down to 215-220. I can go up or down 5 lbs very quickly. I am starting to wonder if I will ever reach 210 though. I feel good now and the 210 was just to see if I could. Once I start getting into the high milage training for the Rome Marathon I might see my weight drop a bit more.
I am not going to beat myself up if I never hit that 210 mark as I always use that as an excuse not to have the Ice Cream or that extra slice of Pizza. Yes, I make excuses to myself on why I should not have the extra calories. Speaking of Pizza, I ran into the guy who owns the pizza join that Loreen and usually use. He sees me and tells me I lost a lot of weight. Yup, I have. Then he says I guess that is why you are not ordering pizza every week anymore. Yup, he`s right. Then he tells me that we can order custom made low calorie pizzas if we give him a days notice. Soooo pizza might be a treat every second week.
Well it is almost time to pick up Loreen from work so we can go to Yoga tonight. Should be a good class. Loreen and I have a 12 mile run scheduled for tomorrow. I still cannot believe that Loreen is running and not only that running 12 miles. She is doing amazing and I like the extra time we get to spend together. Running a marathon together in Rome should be a blast.
So I am going to take off now. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Ok, I am jealous that you do not have difficulty losing the 5 you put on - but I guess that is the difference between guys and gals - or at least you and me.
I put 5 on over the summer and now am trying to work my a$$ off, literally.
Have a great time on your run with Loreen - she is a real inspiration!

Stage set for deals this yr with big buys in Feb, 15 deals in 2012
The news of Zovi.com acquiring Inkfruit.com has again spurred consolidation in the e-commerce space in India, with experts saying the trend of consolidation, which started last year, is only set to gain momentum in 2013.
Consolidation in the e-commerce space is definitely on the cards. And if both the firms have the same investor, the process becomes smoother, says Manmohan Agarwal, CEO at e-tailer firm Yebhi.com. PE firm SAIF Partners was the common investor for both Zovi and Inkfruit.
There were at least 15 merger and acquisition (M&A) deals in 2012 in the e-commerce space much higher than 2011 as per M&A deal tracking firm Venture Intelligence.
Online retailer Flipkart acquired electronics retail firm Letsbuy.com for $25 million last year. PE firms Tiger Global and Accel Partners are investors in both the firms. Also, lifestyle retailer Fashionandyou.com acquired cosmetics retailer Urban Touch. E-commerce portal Yebhi.com bought Gurgaon-based lifestyle and fashion retailer Stylishyou.in, and Myntra acquired online fashion brand SherSingh.
Normally e-commerce consolidation deals are PE-facilitated because investors are common and help make a connection. Many e-commerce firms opt for consolidation because even though there is value in the company, it lacks the strength and drive to raise capital. I see many more firms opting for consolidation this year. A few that are able to raise funds will get past and the rest will look at mergers, says Alok Mittal, managing director at Canaan Partners. The firm has invested in e-commerce companies like Naaptol.
Consolidation is a very subtle way of talking about M&As. It is beneficial for the investors because when one of their collapsed investee firms merges with the other investment, they will not be forced to write it down to zero, says Mahesh Murthy, co-founder at early-stage venture firm Seedfund. If the VC or PE investor is able to sell his loss-making investment to another company, he can put off showing the loss and hope for a reduction in the loss in future, he adds.
Last year, the e-commerce sector witnessed 31 PE and VC deals with an investment of $298 million.
But the way to such mergers and acquisitions is not smooth. The rationale of such consolidation is a hard one, because operations are not easy to combine. You have to see the brand that your acquiring, says Mittal. There are numerous integration issues when

The first Honda developed in India
HONDA has unveiled a new supermoto-style street bike concept called the CX-01.
Little is known about the new bike, including its engine capacity, but it looks to be a single-cylinder.
Honda unveiled the CX-01 yesterday at the Indian Auto Expo show.
The concept was designed and developed by the Honda R&D centre at Manesar, India. 'CX' is short for 'Concept Cross' and the number '01' refers to the first project by Honda's Indian R&D team.
A sign on the Honda show stand says: 'This new Cross concept possesses perfect blend of smart onroad styling and strong base for tough outdoor performance.
'The category holds high potential to win hearts of new breed of Indian bikers by creating new trend in Indian motorcycle market.'
Thanks to MotorBeam for the tip.

The Bachelorette: Jason Mesnick And Trista Sutter Weigh In On Finale
July 29, 2009 03:07 PM by Britteny Elrick
It was an emotional night as Jillian Harrismade her final choice between Reid, Kiptyn, and Ed onMonday's night show. Former Bachelorette Trista Sutter and Bachelor Jason Mesnickrecently spoke to EXTRA about their thoughts on Jillian's choice and who they hope the nextBachelorwill be. Keep reading for more details…
When asked how they felt about Jillian's choice, Trista said, "I really hope Jillian and Ed last." Jason concurred andresponded by saying he wasn't surprised by Jillian's decision. "I think people want to pick who they think is best for Jillian," he said. "She knowswhat's best in her life. I thinkwhen she started off she was always looking for her best friend and in my perspective I think she found it."
Jason continued by discussing the difficulty of the final decision. "That decision is excruciating. As everyone saw, I thought I knew what I was doing. Shortly after, I realized I was in love with two different girls and what do you do?" "In the end, it's your life and you're the only one who's going to look after you. All the viewers that watch the show don't know you that well," he told EXTRA.
Trista said about the process, "I promise everyone out there that it can work. We're not just staying together because we're trying to prove people wrong I can tell you that." As far as who she thinks will be the next bachelor, Trista said, "I really love Reid. I didn't like him as much in the beginning but he totally grew on me, I love his humor. I'm kind of hoping it's someone like Michael, who I can really root for, who's going to be hysterical and who I know America will also be rooting for."

Georgetown University has issued a press release celebrating the fact that pro-abortion rights Congressman John Dingell, the longest-serving congressman in the country, is a Georgetown graduate.
Georgetown President John DeGioia is quoted in the press release saying, "Through his decades of public service, and his thoughtful, careful leadership, Congressman Dingell has represented the very best of our Georgetown tradition."
Dingell earned a 100-percent score in NARAL Pro-Choice America's 2011 Congressional Record on Choice for his votes on abortion. Dingell reportedly said, "I have voted to protect a woman's right to choose under Roe v. Wade and will continue to fight to uphold this constitutionally protected right."
Dingell also recently "evolved" on gay marriage, according to AnnArbor.com, by co-sponsoring a bill in 2012 to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and to ensure federal recognition of same-sex marriage.
Dingell received his bachelor's degree from Georgetown in 1949 and his law degree from Georgetown Law School in 1952, just three years before he became a congressman.

Guest Workers in U.S. Keep Up Fight for Their Rights
Filed under: Uncategorized
Posted By James Parks On December 16, 2010 @ 4:21 pm In In the States, Legislation & Politics | 8 Comments
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, thousands of guest workers with H-2B visas were recruited from Latin America and Asia and brought to the Gulf Coast on the false promise of steady jobs, fair pay, great conditions and even permanent legal status. Many of the workers paid thousands of dollars each to recruiters to buy what they thought was an American dream, only to find out later their dream was a nightmare filled with terrible work conditions and no protections.
The workers fought back, and today have rung up some significant achievements. They now plan to build on their victories by focusing on organizing and political action to expand the rights of guest workers. The H-2B workers are recruited for jobs after employers certify that they cannot find U.S. citizens to do the work. The guest workers are then bound to that one employer and cannot move to another job if they are mistreated.

Why You Should Buy Instagram Comments?
Instagram and Internet marketing
Internet marketing shows great diversity and with each passing day its influence and penetration are mounting opening new doors of opportunities for advertisers. Social networks have contributed a lot in taking internet marketing to the height where it is standing today and presently different social networking websites are regarded as integral parts of online marketing. Instagram is one of the most used and highly popular social networks of modern era and is full of potential for those who are willing to take the challenge of impressing users of this particular photo sharing medium. Instagram has a good number of users associated with it and the number continue to increase with each passing day. This amazing photo sharing application can be utilized across multiple mediums and is equipped with many interesting and exciting features. Our main focus in this section will be upon the approach, which is related with buy instagram comments, but before moving to that it's important to highlight the connection present between Instagram and Internet marketing.
The question is often asked by many that how Instagram can be used for marketing related reasons. We have already highlighted that Instagram is popular among people belonging to different corners of globe so any product marketed upon it properly will come into notice of millions and this provides a huge boost to sales as well as profits. Images surely have a very strong power and proper incorporation of images in any marketing campaign can bring positive results and upon this simple concept Instagram marketing is based. You must buy instagram comments to enhance your followers and upgrade your rank on the site. With Instagram in your phone taking pictures and sharing them on popular social media gets very simple and a fun filled activity. The most interesting aspect related with this application is that it allows users to post images upon multiple mediums at the same time and this is a time saving option especially for those who are using this app for social media marketing.
Images and their influence
In the world of social media marketing Images are very influential as they directly promote your products and services and win shares as well as comments bringing a lot of exposure for the promoted content. Talking about comments more specifically in relation to internet marketing an important point to highlight is that getting comments here is not that much simple. You need followers or a massive fan following for this. The competition is tough and demanding and for survival you need to take some external help and buy instagram comments.
Actually a large number of business owners are using Instagram for their marketing campaigns and this gives many options to the users of this app, but for marketers the competition increases and it gets very difficult to standout in the crowd. Creativity and good content no doubt they both have their own importance, but you need to do something extra for making your profile attractive. You normally buy instagram comments for convincing the users of Instagram that your products and offers are strong and have potential. Posts, which are successful in getting maximum number of likes, are considered not only popular, but also they are influential and force others to follow the profiles from where they came. People or more specifically business owners buy instagram comments keeping the above mentioned points in consideration. By following this strategy your every post is going to get appreciation in the form of many comments and the required exposure will be provided to your offering within a small time period. When others will notice the level of popularity of your posts they will be impressed as well and will prefer to join your fan club bringing more sales as well as profits. You can buy instagram comments for saving valuable time and leaving a strong impact upon audiences.
Instagram for profits
Without any doubt Instagram can be regarded as an amazing tool for winning the interests of people and earning profits. It's all about engaging your audiences or followers into different activities and winning their attention and attracting more followers by following strategies that enable you to buy instagram comments. The best part is that you get complete liberty of interacting with your customers and this will allow you to understand their expectations and concerns and all this helps in bringing improvement as well as innovation and this is something really very convincing.
Instagram is a medium full of opportunities, but it is all about using your available options in a smart manner and most of the time incorporation of images into your marketing strategy gets trickier and you don't know that what kind of response will be awaiting you, but when you buy instagram comments things get simpler. You are assured that your short comings will be overshadowed and every post will get amazing response.
From where to buy Instagram comments
Many sources can entertain our readers who want to buy instagram comments because this is not at all a new concept and is being followed by established as well as new profiles. You can easily get in touch with service providers in this regard as many companies are offering such services. You only have to get in touch with a decent service provider for getting as many comments as you want. It's best to mention your requirements in front of the medium from where you wish to buy instagram comments as most of them offer different packages so that one can make the selection according to his or her requirements.
You are not required to make a strong investment here so those who are on a tight budget can also buy instagram comments easily. However, main point is to select an appropriate and dependable service provider who can entertain you in a decent manner. It's best to get in touch with only reputed companies who have earned positive reviews from their previous customers. You can buy instagram comments as you want depending upon your requirements and financial status.

Mary J. Blige has always been honest about her struggles with drug abuse, depression and experiences in abusive relationships. The singer has undoubtedly triumphed over multiple hardships and has developed a reputation as a survivor, along with her legendary status in the music industry.
During an interview on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight," the queen of hip-hop soul opened up about her alcohol abuse and her husband's role in helping her overcome her addiction.
"I was done, I was dying, it was over. I was gonna die, it didn't matter. But I didn't wanna die," she told Piers Morgan. "So when it finally happened, I was like 'Wait a minute, this is not what I want.' But subliminally, I was drinking myself to death."
Blige credits her husband, Kendu Isaacs, for changing her life, by offering her love and support.
"I've never had anybody approach me with that kind of love before," she said. "And that's what I needed, and that's what triggered in me the love that I have for myself today."
Last month, the singer released her new album "My Life II...The Journey Continues," an ode to her 1994 triple platinum album "My Life."
MJB has also come a long way in the fashion world. Check out her style evolution from street to chic.

Hi All. Long time reader first time poster.
I'm planning on heading down to the conference tournament this year, and was wondering if you could provide some advice. Where do other Cyclone fans hang out between sessions, good places to eat, etc. But specifically about how the scalping process works. I know it's legal to do in Missouri, but how does it compare to buying tickets off of stubhub or from the Sprint Center? Trying to plan the financials accordingly for the wife and myself. Thanks for the help!
Right across the street from the Sprint there will be Cyclone fans in various restaurants/bars. Last year i picked up a ticket online because I wanted to make sure I sat in the Cyclone section. Paid around $130 I believe for lower level. I have not heard what sections we will be in this year but when I find out I will purchase tickets on line.
This is some generic advice for last year's tournament. Assuming most will hold true again this year.
Big 12 tournament KC Info FAQ
Oklahoma Joe's to eat.
Kelly's to drink.
there a ton of places in downtown kansas city for good eats and good drinks. hard to go wrong. Also known as the power and light district
Does anyone know what section ISU has this year for tickets?
Do they have student tickets available for the Big 12 tournament? Paying over $100 dollars for each session is a little out of my price range.
Jack Stacks BBQ!
Follow me on Twitter: @mjballman20
A place we like to go to where the service is good and so is the scenery is Quaffs. Always lots of ISU folk in there. Of course with the tournament split that may not be the case any more, but worth a try.
My dad always says if you gotta ask you can't afford it!
We were able to scalp lower bowl tickets for $30/seat about 5 minutes before tip-off since ISU was the last game of the night. Scalpers were complete d***s negotiating before the Missouri game but once that game was over they were low balling each other to sell them. Another tactic you can try is buying tickets off fans from earlier games. Ran across some Mizzu fans selling their tickets for $15/each, upper level (game before us).

No, they never have "student tickets" to the tournament.
"It's appropriate for leaders sometimes to move boldly against the flow of public opinion," she said. "That's called leadership." --- Sarah Swisher (D), Superdelegate, Iowa City
Does anyone know when Iowa State will be sending out tickets purchased through them? I filled out that order form and sent it in a while back but haven't really heard anything since.
We usually purchase full session passes (uppers ~ $200). Then we'll sell off the non ISU session unless there's a really interesting session we want to see. Up to this point we've always gotten our money back and then some, and watched ISU play for free. If ISU would win some games that would no longer be the case, but obviously thats what we're all hoping for!

It's getting easier. I feel like myself again, sort of. More like, a sadder, emptier version of myself, but at least that's better than the constantly crying, depressed, obsessing-over-every-detail version that existed two weeks ago. The reality has set in now. My father is gone. All that's left are pictures, memories, and a few of his things, like the little wooden hand with the middle finger stuck up that I found on his desk, which makes me laugh every time I see it. Or the gold initial ring that he got for his Bar Mitzvah, which makes me wish I had another child to name after him (though I can't imagine what kind of a 'G' name could possibly ever satisfy me).
I still cry, though not as much. Usually it happens when I'm alone, with nothing to distract me; in the shower, in the car, at the top of the mountain that I hike up every week, with the expansive view of the ocean. My dad loved the ocean, and that view would have blown his mind. I've also noticed that every television show, commercial and movie seem to be about dead or dying fathers. I never noticed it before, but my husband, who lost his father when he was seventeen, assures me that I'm not imaging things. He's been noticing it for twenty years.
When I can be objective about things, which is happening more and more often, I can say that the grief, I expected. The sadness I expected, too. Even his death, though sudden, was not a total surprise. You can't abuse your body the way my father did and expect to live to be an old man. In the back of my mind, I always kind of knew that it would go down the way it did. But there is one thing that's caught me off guard in all of this, and that is the way that other people have reacted to the news. My close friends, of course, have rallied around me – calling and e-mailing to check in, to see how I'm doing, offering to help with my kids or with whatever. They've been incredible, and I'm so lucky to have them. But it's the people on the periphery of my life who've surprised me the most. I've gotten cards, emails, Facebook messages, even comments on this website, from people I barely know, or from people I used to know but haven't spoken to in years, who just wanted to reach out and tell me their memories of my father, or, to let me know that I'm not alone. I have to say, I truly had no idea that so many people I know, who are my age or close to it, have lost their parents already. It's as if I've been let into a club that I had no idea existed, and one that I would never choose to join. But now that I'm here, the advice and the empathy and the totally unexpected "just thinking about you's" have been more touching, and have meant more to me, than almost anything else in my life.
For the last fifteen years, my father led an isolated, lonely, virtually friendless life; I used to secretly worry that when he died, nobody would find him for weeks, and when they did, they would have no idea who to contact. So I feel lucky, in a way, that at least he had a few people who cared about him, who knew him well enough to know that he had children, who had the presence of mind to call me when he was admitted to the hospital. And yet, in the wake of his death, in contemplating the emptiness of his life, I can't help but be amazed at the richness and depth of my own. As one friend who lost her father wrote to me, life becomes richer in unexpected ways, from the gifts of a loved one's passing. It's hard sometimes to think about my father's death as a gift, but in this particular sense, I think it really is. Through my father's passing, I've come to see that I have love and support from places I never expected. And though it might sound cheesy and Hallmark card-y and so not Risa Green-ish, I need to put out there that this love and support has given a meaning to my life that I simply did not know was there. And if that isn't a gift, then I don't know what is.

I need a new 3spd crankset for my mtb but I don't know what measurements I'm supposed to take into account, apart from needing a JIS square taper. Is spindle length important to the chainline or will any JIS properly incorporate onto the bike? The other factor I was wondering about was the number of cogs on my freewheel. Does having a 7, 8, or 9spd effect what you can put on in the front?
The mtb has been converted to a tourer and the freewheel is only 7spd so I need a low geared crankset, something like 22, 32, 44. The lighter the better and I'm looking for something $50 or less. Here's an example http://www.jensonusa.com/store/produ...+Crankset.aspx
If anyone can suggest a good crankset that would be great. Thanks in advance for any help.

Downriver route selected for new Detroit-Windsor toll bridge
4 governments involved in study
Chosen corridor
Projected car traffic top and truck traffic below for 2030, relative volumes reflected in line thickness
Our rough rendering of the route
Good news for the viability of a new US-Canada toll route: the high traffic potential downriver corridor has been chosen. US and Canadian authorities representing Michigan, Ontario and the federal governments have formally selected a western or downriver location for the new Detroit-Windsor crossing.
The location is going west from the H-401 expressway picking up the the end of the EC Row Expressway in Windsor and over the river to the Zug Island area on the US side. The precise routing within the corridor has yet to be established, but the center of the corridor is about 5km (3mi) downnriver from the Ambassador Bridge - the present major crossing.
In October the alternative corridors furthest from the centers of Detroit and Windsor were rejected.
However the decision this week appears to rule out proposals around the existing crossings including:
* the Ambassador Bridge's plan for twinning its existing 4 lane bridge
* the Canadian Pacific/pension funds plan to develop a truck tunnel out of underused rail tunnels located between the Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel
The partnership statement says the twinning of the Ambassador Bridge "was determined to not be practical based on the community impacts of the proposed plaza and access road in Canada."
The present link between the Ambassador bridge and H-401 the expressway to Toronto and Montreal is an 8km (5mi) signalized urban main street fronted by businesses. There are developed residential areas on either side. On the US side there is little space for security, customs and immigration inspections.
The Detroit River Tunnel Partnership's proposal for utilizing one abandoned and another little used rail tunnel to provide 2x1 lanes for trucks is rejected also - on the grounds it doesn't add enough total capacity to serve longterm needs. (Surely that doesn't really disqualify it since nothing can guarantee sufficient capacity for ever. The rail to truck conversion remains a relatively quick to implement option that would help the important trucking sector.) Also they claim a 6-lane expressway along the rail right of way would produce unacceptable 'community impacts.' (2 lanes of truck tunnel would only require 2 lanes of approach road.)
The search for new crossing capacity is based on projections of a 128% increase in truck traffic and a 57% increase in cars over 30 years.
Origin destination studies and traffic modeling by IBI and URS produced the conclusion that the EC Row-Zug corridor served future traffic needs bestIt woulod attract 22.8k trucks and 16.6k cars in 2030.
They wrote: "The location of the Central Crossing Alternative between the western pull of major truck movements to/from I-75 (south to Toledo) and west on I-94 (West to Chicago) and the more central Windsor/central Detroit travel orientations associated with the major car movements." (p40 of Feasible Transportation Alternatives Working Paper, Jan 2004 URS)
The paper describes the route as 12km (7.5mi) in length H-401 to the mi-river border point and just 3km (2mi) from mid-river to I-75 on the US side. The river is about 750m (0.5mi) wide and a bridge must provide overhead clearance to shipping of 46m (150ft).
Fluor proposal
Several years ago a group led by Fluor proposed building a bridge in this general location in return for a toll concession. Partly in resposne the four governments involved have set in train a long process of alternatives analysis and traffic studies under the aegis of a Canada-US-Ontario-Michigan Border Transportation Partnership which is designed to satisfy all the permitting requirements on each side of the international border before there is discussion on financing of the project but it is assumed to be toll financed.
They say they will now consider all aspects of developing the border crossing system, which includes a river crossing as well as appropriate
customs plaza locations and connecting roads on both the U.S. and Canadian sides of the border.
"Further detailed study, technical analysis and public consultation will be conducted to identify the best end-to-end solution within
this area."
They say they are on track to specify the detailed route of a new river crossing by mid-2007.
$160b of freight
The Detroit-Windsor crossings handle about $160b of freight annually, about 30% of US-Canadian trade.
The site for the new crossing - most likely a bridge though a tunnel has not yet been ruled out - is about 5km (3mi) downriver and south of the Ambassador Bridge, the present main crossing. The Ambassador Bridge build by investors in the late 1920s is operated by a private company under a charter-in-perpetuity from the city of Detroit is the leading truck crossing between the two countries. Of 2x2 lanes its approaches are through local streets especially on the Canadian side and it forms a notorious bottleneck for traffic.
The existing crossings - the Ambassador Bridge (2x2 lanes) and Detroit-Windsor Tunnel (2x1 Lanes) cater to 74k veh/day of which about 13k are trucks. Most of the trucks use the privately owned toll bridge because of height and length restrictions on the tunnel - a Macquarie toll property. Also competing with the two Detroit-Windsor crossings is the Bluewater bridge (2x3 lanes) Sarnia-Port Huron about 90km (56mi) north but caters well to traffic in the northern part of the Detroit area and to Chicago.
Toronto to Chicago is almost identical distance using the private Detroit crossings as going via the Bluewater to the north, but Toronto to Toledo OH is 21km or 13mi longer via Bluewater, though the traveling time is about comparable because of the horrible delays in Windsor at the 12 traffic signals on Huron Church Rd. The Bluewater has traditionally been uncompetitive because of longer waits to clear customs than the Detroit-Windsor crossings - especially Canada-to-US.
88% by value of freight across the Detroit River is by road with the rail portion at 9% and in slow decline. Passenger travel is highest weekends because of tourist and shopping trips, but there are substantial peaks with commuters who live one side and work the other. Truck traffic heavily related to the exchange of automobile parts between US and Canadian factories of DaimlerChrysler, GM and Ford peaks during the middle of the day.
Interestingly tolls on the two private crossings are weight based for trucks as on the PA and OH turnpikes. An 80k pd US tractor trailer pays $18.40 on the Ambassador Bridge and $22.75 in the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, but can get frequent user discounts there where specially approved height and length rigs are required. The Bluewater Bridge charges $2/axle so a US-style 18 wheeler toll is $10. (2004 $s in IBI paper) Modeling assumed similar tolls on the new crossing. see http://www.partnershipborderstudy.com TOLLROADSnews 2005-11-16

Supervalu Introduces WholeCare Pet Store Brand
March 9, 2010
Supervalu launched WholeCare Pet store brand, a complete line of food products for dogs and cats that also includes a variety of treats and pet supplies.
The new line will replace the company's two former private-label pet product brands –– Happy Tails and NutriPlan –– and will be available nationwide at the company's 4,290 grocery stores under the banners of Acme, Albertsons, bigg's, Cub Foods, Farm Fresh, Hornbacher's, Jewel-Osco, Shaw's/Star Market, Shop 'n Save and Shoppers Food & Pharmacy, as well as at select independent grocers served by Supervalu's distribution business.
WholeCare Pet products are formulated to match or exceed the quality of leading national brands at everyday savings of at least 15 to 30 percent, the company said in a statement.
The line includes nearly 100 SKUs including 19 varieties of wet dog and puppy food, 11 types and sizes of dry dog and puppy food, 13 varieties of dog biscuits and treats, 20 types of wet cat food, nine varieties and sizes of dry cat and kitten food, and 10 cat litter products.
The grocer said it is focused on store brand pet care because:
- The pet food category is fairly resilient to economic downturns as consumers tend to view pet food purchases in a similar way to the purchase of food for family members. "Consumers, however, do become more price sensitive and change where they shop for pet food in order to get the best bargain."
- Private-label brands, which account for about 13 percent of pet care sales, "are of growing importance in the category, in line with broader trends in private-label development."
- 62 percent of consumers believe that their pet deserves to have food that is "as varied as the food I eat." * 62 percent of U.S. households, which equates to approximately 71.4 million homes, own a pet, up from 56 percent in 1988. There are an estimated 77.5 million dogs and 93.6 million cats in households across the United States.4
- In 2009, Americans spent approximately $45.5 billion on their pets; pet food accounted for nearly 39 percent of those sales, or $17.56 billion.
Supervalu is supporting the WholeCare Pet brand launch with an integrated marketing communications campaign that features banner and circular ads, direct mail, in-store displays and promotions.
Other Supervalu store brands include Baby Basics, Wild Harvest natural and organic foods, Culinary Circle foods, Stockman & Dakota meats, Stone Ridge Creamery, Java Delight, Homelife, Equaline and Shoppers Value.

This is an invaluable guide to the origins of more than 17,000 place names across Britain. Newly updated, it features counties, cities, towns, suburbs, rivers and coastal features, explaining their meanings and how they reflect Britain's colourful past – from the invasions and settlement of the Celts (Dover and Leeds) to the Norman Conquest (Battle and Richmond) and more recent historical events (Peacehaven and Waterloo). Some of the more exotic place names such as California and Quebec sit happily alongside more intriguing names such as Crackpot and Pennycomequick in this rich collection from England, Scotland, the Scottish islands, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. Including maps, glossaries and recommended websites for further research, this is a fascinating and useful gazetteer that you will reach for again and again.

Small sample sizes rarely stop the crew over at FanGraphs—if anything, they thrive on them, helping hardcore fans understand why a player hasn't exactly done what has been expected of him, either for the better or worse. Given the small sample size discussion from our own Jon earlier this week, the latest from FanGraphs falls right in line, discussing the merits (or lackthereof) of the struggles being exhibited by two of Cleveland's own: Corey Kluber and Carlos Carrasco.
In a post titled "Buy Low on Corey Kluber," Scott Spratt echoes much of what Steiner said, focusing solely on the stoic one and his 5.50 ERA.
Kluber's 8.64 strikeouts and 1.62 walks per nine innings are in line with his 8.31 and 2.02 rates from last year when he carried a 3.85 ERA for the season. In fact, Kluber's 3.31 FIP is almost identical to his 3.30 FIP from 2013. It stands to reason that his ERA will fall in line if he continues to pitch this way.
Kluber is not unusual as a victim of the small-sample madness of the first few weeks of the new season. However, I do think circumstances have conspired to make him particularly vulnerable, and those circumstances have just improved.
To date, only the Minnesota Twins have been worse defensively in the outfield than the Indians based on the combined Defensive Runs Saved totals of the three outfield positions. The Indians have lost eight runs in the outfield, and almost all of it has been the result of Nyjer Morgan and Michael Brantley in center field.
Spratt, in addition to luck and a .411 BABiP, believes that the addition of Michael Bourn alone should allow for the fly-ball happy Kluber to regain his relative success. While it seemed crazy a few days ago, the fact that Morgan has been tagged with a league-worst five runs to this point speaks volumes to his demotion. While the article doesn't mention the loss of Drew Stubbs as well, it does appear that if Bourn can provide at least baseline levels of defense, the team will be that much more better off—regardless of what he does at the plate.
Regarding Carrasco, things appear to be a bit less luck-based and more, well, Carrasco-based.
It's easy to point to his 3.51 SIERA, ridiculous .400 BABIP and 53.8% LOB% and claim he'll enjoy better luck moving forward. Similarly, it's also simple to call him a head case, perform no analysis whatsoever, and move on. But of course, I'm not going to do either of these things. With a repertoire that seemingly appears fantastic, why isn't Carrasco the best pitcher in baseball?
The odd thing about the inflated BABIP is that he has a allowed an LD% of just 12.9%. Given that line drives go for hits most frequently of all the batted ball types, it's a surprise that he has allowed so many hits when the majority of his balls in play are ground balls. […]
Although Carrasco's fastball sits in the mid-90s and has touched as high as 96.7 mph this year and 98.1 mph historically, the pitch has been clobbered. He throws both a four-seamer and a two-seamer and both have been absolutely wretched. This year, the four-seamer, which he throws most often, has been hit to the tune of a .381 wOBA. While that's terrible, that's nothing compared to what hitters have done to his poor two-seamer.
Batters have quite enjoyed Carrasco's two-seam fastball. How much you ask? Oh, just a delightful .761 wOBA. That's not OPS, that's wOBA. In OPS terms, it's 1.811, including a .444 ISO and .667 batting average. Yeeesh. When you're fastballs are that bad and you throw them a combined 60% of the time, no wonder why you're getting blasted.
Fans have always loved Carrasco's live arm—players who can get the ball up in the 90s are just fun to watch. That said, it's intriguing that the best pitch for guy who can nearly hit triple-digits is actually his change-up. Carrasco simply can't locate his heat. He touches 95 on the regular, but any major league baseball player can hit that when it's served up over the middle of the plate, as Carlos has been thus far. Whether or not Mickey Callaway can coach Carrasco—and whether or not the pitcher can be coached—will be one huge storyline heading into May, especially with Trevor Bauer tossing yet another gem on Wednesday night1.

Austin Family Quilt
This is the Austin Family Quilt that has grown to 95 x 95 (4.5" blocks) since this picture was taken. My wall is not large enough, so I had to improvise. I have added all of the signature blocks and started sewing the the rows together. The Family Quilt begins with my grandmother's sister, who married an Austin back in the 1930's. The family is huge and still growing, so I have left several blank signature blocks on the front, and will have more on the back.
A major undertaking that began last year, my cousin Ginny distributed the signature blocks through the mail. It was Ginny's idea and the work she put into getting the blocks signed must have been daunting ..... but she was determined and organized. The envelopes were mailed to my house and slowly stacked up, each containing the family blocks waiting for a place in the quilt.

H2H Finished
This is a quilt top I started last year when Judy at Patchwork Times introduced monthly blocks to use up our stash. I finally put my blocks into a quilt, but now it is quilted, bound and ready to ship to Sarah's Hands To Help Charity Quilts.
And .... picking blackberries to make cobbler this afternoon. The blackberry plants were from my Great Uncle Dan's backyard in Columbus Texas. He has been gone since 1983, so these plants traveled here to Louisiana over 30 years ago. They were planted on the bayou side of my in laws property and are obviously thriving to this day. Must admit, I ate so many of them while picking, my insides are purple.

Grand Illusion - Finished
Bonnie Hunter, Quiltville. The Grand Illusion Quilt was introduced through clues beginning the day after 2014 Thanksgiving. This one has already been delivered to the 2015 Relay for Life Team (Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana) and will be gifted Saturday night. I always wonder who wins these quilts and hope they know how special one of Bonnie's designs are -- after all, Bonnie is Hollywood among quilters!
After a long absence from posting (very special projects behind the scenes), I am looking forward to joining Sarah at her Whoop Whoop Party. See you there!

Licorice Whip on the Design Wall
Licorice Whip. (Black Cat Creations). In less than a day, the blocks were done....when I return home from work tonight, I'll sew them together and load it up for quilting. It may take me longer to think about the quilting design than to finish it....With just two colors, I will be changing thread. Will do all of the red first, then go back to the top with the white.
As usual, I am working on a few quilts. Those with deadlines are slipped in here and there, while I take my time with others. Looking forward to seeing the others at the Monday Linkup with Judy at Patchwork Times

Design Wall
My version of Bonnie's Grand Illusion Mystery Quilt -- my design wall did not have room for the 5th row, but all the blocks are done and ready to sew together.
And the work in progress for a fund raiser quilt heading to Silsbee, Texas for their High School Baseball Team. The quilt is actually finished, but I am waiting for a "Team" shot to show.
For other Design Walls, visit Judy at Patchwork Times.

Somers man arraigned in Flathead District Court Thursday
POSTED: 5:05 PM Feb 28 2013
A Somers man accused of going on a late night shooting spree appeared in court Thursday morning. Christopher Cassidy pled not guilty to criminal endangerment and criminal manufacture of dangerous drugs, both felonies.
Investigators say Cassidy forced an overnight standoff in early February when he fired off multiple guns outside of his Somers Road home. Once arrested, deputies got a search warrant and said they found 86 marijuana plants in his basement.
If convicted on both charges, Cassidy faces up to 20 years in prison.

Take a Lesson From Major Armstrong
Long ago, a Major in the United States Marine Corps named Charles Armstrong developed a program for doing as many pullups as humanly possible.
He was attempting to set a new world record for the number of pullups a person could do in one set, and he really pulled out all the stops – pardon the pun.
The first part of his workout, however, actually did not actually involve pullups. According to Armstrong, pushups were a critical component of developing powerful pullup muscles. And as a part of his daily regimen, Major Armstrong did three sets of pushups.
When he first awoke in the morning, Major Armstrong would immediately drop to the floor and do a max out set of pushups. Then he would go use the latrine, and do another max out set when he was done with heeding the call of nature.
Then, after brushing his teeth, he would do a third max out set of pushups. While his numbers on the third set might not have been especially legendary, he did improve his stamina whether his body really felt like it or not.
And as Major Armstrong even points out, pushups are the very best exercise for developing upper body stamina.
Another interesting facet of the Amstrong Pullup Workout is that Major Armstrong did not "super set" his pushups and pullups.
In fact, he actually suggests the seemingly lazy approach of taking at least four hours between doing his morning pushups and the pullups that were his real goal. This runs contrary to how a lot of people work out, but it makes sense when you consider how our bodies are built.
A body is designed to work on a constant basis. Designating a time of day for "exercise" reduces your overall effectiveness, because it trains you to only be active for a little while each day. When you do exercises staggered throughout the day, you use your body as it was designed.
