NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Chipmaker Micron Technology (MU) crushed the consensus estimates when it reported its third-quarter results after the bell on Monday. For shareholders, now may be an ideal time to ring the register and take some profits.
I'll quickly cover the results and then explain why the potential reward is overshadowed with peril, but you can mitigate the risk if you choose to continue holding the stock.
Micron Technology reported adjusted earnings of 79 cents a share, easily exceeding the average analyst estimate of 72 cents. Revenue was $3.98 billion, better than the average estimate of $3.89 billion.
Sequentially, earnings fell from 85 cents per share, while revenue dropped from $4.1 billion. On a diluted earnings per share basis, the company earned 68 cents, 7 cents greater than last quarter.
The purchase of Elpida renders year-over-year comparisons challenging at best. From a forward earnings-per-share perspective, Micron Technology is more expensive than a year ago, but it is appropriately priced considering the company's DRAM earnings concentration, and vendor reliance.
The Elpida purchase also makes Apple (AAPL) the largest customer. About 11% of total net sales is from the iPhone maker. Apple is widely expected to release the iPhone 6 this fall in time for the holiday shopping season. However, Amazon's (AMZN) new Fire phone is expected to hit AT&T's T shelves in late July.
I don't have a huge amount of confidence in Amazon's ability to capture market share, but obviously Amazon's CEO Jeff Bezos doesn't share my opinion. Considering Bezo's market prowess, the Amazon Fire phone can't be dismissed out of hand. Samsung, a Micron Technology competitor, makes the memory chips for Amazon's Kindle Fire, and is a likely vendor for the Fire phone.
Samsung's Galaxy S6 release is expected at the same time as Apple's iPhone 6 release. Samsung has proven it can influence iPhone sales and depending on its reception, may cause softness in iPhone sales. Microsoft (MSFT) with Nokia (NOK) are factors because of their recent market share growth, but unlikely to move the needle far within the next year.
As is the case with most computer components, memory chip size and speeds continuously fall in price. DRAM memory since 2008 has trended lower by about 25% per year. In order for Micron to grow revenue and earnings, it must stay ahead in the race to the bottom.

Va. fatal bus crash: Kin Yiu Cheung has bond denied in hearing
(AP, WJLA) - The driver of a discount{ } tour bus that crashed on Interstate 95 in Virginia, killing four people and injuring others, appeared in court for the first time Wednesday..
The wife of Qun Lin Cheung cried outside the courtroom in Caroline county as her husband was ordered held without bond.
The 37-year-old from Elmhurst, N.Y., is charged with four felony counts of involuntary manslaughter in the May 31 crash. Those killed were four adult females from New York, Philadelphia and New Jersey.

Court records show Cheung admitted to police that he fell asleep at the wheel when the Sky Express bus bound for New York overturned north of Richmond with 60 people aboard.
Cheung was considered by authorities to be a serious flight risk because of discrepancies in the address listed on his commercial driver's license and other documents.

Unity: Part 1 - The Place of Blessing. Part 2 - The Causes And Cure of Breakdown
In this message we discover the importance of Unity among a local body of believers, to manifest the glory of God. We learn that unity is the place of anointing, refreshing and the commanded blessing. Unity is also key to world impact.
We are spending a few Sunday's discussing the topic of Unity among us as a body/community of believers – so that we can truly be a people who manifest His glory.
Unity – The Place of Anointing, Refreshing, And The Commanded Blessing
Psalm 133:1-3
When brethren dwell in unity –
They experience the flow of God's anointing oil – the presence and work of the Holy Spirit,
They experience "dew" – refreshing and renewing
They experience life and blessing – and the Lord commands it for them. They don't even have to go looking for it, God commands (appoints) life and blessing among a people who dwell in unity.
Unity – The Key To World Impact
John 17:20-23
Jesus prayed that we may be one in Him, that the world may believe….
Jesus prayed for us to be "made perfect in one", that the world may know…
One of the things that is possibly limiting the church from impacting the world – is the division and disunity that keeps us apart.
Book of Acts – Unity At Work
Several times the phrase "one accord" is used to describe what God was doing among believers:
Acts 1:14
…and they prepared themselves for the receiving of the outpouring of the Spirit.
Acts 2:1
…and they received the outpouring of the Spirit and the New Testament church was born.
Acts 2:46
…and they saw the rapid growth of the Church, many being saved. They saw a great move of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 4:24
…and they saw God work great signs and wonders.
Acts 5:12
…and they continued to see great signs and wonders and many were added into the Kingdom of God.
Acts 8:6
…and the city was reached and there was great joy in the city.
Acts 15:25
…and they established the counsel of the Lord for the future growth of the Church.
Unity – An Intentional Effort
Ephesians 4:1-3
Unity does not happen by accident or chance.
Maintaining unity must be intentional – must be done on purpose.
Vs 3: "endeavoring"
Message Bible: Ephesians 4:3 alert at noticing differences and quick at mending fences.
In the next few verses in Ephesians 4:4-16, Paul emphasizes several "one"s. We are of one faith, have one Father, share in the one Spirit of God, etc., and belong to one Body, though with diverse gifts and callings. Each one of us do what is needed to be joined and knit together (vs 16).
Division is Di-Vision
We cannot be part of the same team and have two different visions. We must all flow together with the vision God has given to us as a local body.
Unity Happens When We All Walk In Humility
Philippians 2:1-11
Paul reminds us to walk in the "fellowship of the Spirit" – being "like-minded"
1, don't do anything out of selfish ambitions, motives or selfish agendas, selfish interest
2, walk in lowliness of mind – because this is the "mind of Christ", or Christ-like attitude
…..and then He points to the perfect example of Jesus Christ
Submit to and flow with your team leaders – so that you can maintain unity in your teams.
1 Corinthians 1:10
Let us strive as a Church to walk in this kind of Unity.
Breakdown of Unity – Causes And Cure
What are some of the causes of breakdown in unity and what would be some of the 'cures'
Will look at a few well known examples in Scripture:
Matthew 20:22-28
The unhealthy desire for rank, a top position, a place of higher importance, etc.
Vs 24 : This almost divided the group
The cure: Philippians 2:1-5
If we all learn to walk in humility, not holding on to a 'position'
Mark 9:33-37
In the Kingdom of God, you step down to go up.
In the Kingdom of God, even the smallest is to be highly honored, because even the least amongst us represents the Greatest amongst us, the Lord Himself.
Your honor lies not in the place you hold, but in 'what' you represent, or 'who' you represent.
3 John 1:9-11
"who loves to have the preeminence"
Vs 11 : Do not imitate what is evil, wrong, a bad example.
In the local church, we all learn to be servants, not seeking places of position.
Acts 15:35-41
The two leaders in the Antioch church, both remarkable men, both apostles, had differing views on John Mark. John Mark, was a relative of Barnabas (Colossians 4:10) and possibly the author of the Gospel of Mark. He live in Jerusalem with his mother Mary, and it was in their home that the prayer meeting was held to see Peter release from prison (Acts 12:12). John Mark accompanied Paul and Barnabas at the start of their first missionary journey but left the team very soon (Acts 13:13).
At the start of the second missionary journey Paul did not want to take John Mark along, while Barnabas wanted to. We don't know who was right here, but neither was willing to yield to the other's position – and this caused a breakdown in the relationship between two of the best leaders in the church.
The cure : Ephesians 4:1-3 Learn to yield in order to keep the unity of the Spirit
There are some battles not worth fighting – yield.
In the local church, we all understand the value of yielding in order to maintain unity.
Cliques, Factions - The Corinthian Church
1 Corinthians 1:10-13, 1 Corinthians 3:1-9
When we base our Christian walk and identity in some man, a particular message, a specific movement – we become Kingdom dividers, not Kingdom builders.
The cure: 1 Corinthians 3:21 1 Corinthians 4:6
While we respect and honor all men/women whom God has raised, and recognize the revelation God releases through different individuals and the contribution of different movements/denominations in the Body of Christ – our ultimate identity comes from Jesus, and our eyes are on Him.
This does not mean we embrace everything (that is taught) and everyone (who teaches). No we recognize error and walk in wisdom, adhering to the truth revealed, and yet our identity does not come from a doctrine we hold, but comes from the Lord whom we follow.

Working paper 2013-6
Contagion effect due to Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy and the global financial crisis - From the perspective of the Credit Default Swaps' G14 dealers.
Irfan Akbar Kazi and Suzanne Salloy
Abstract :
This article investigates the dynamics of conditional correlation among the G14 banks' dealer for the credit default swap market from January 2004 until May 2009. By using the asymmetric dynamic conditional correlation model developed by Cappiello, Engle and Sheppard (2006), we examine if there is contagion during the global financial crisis, following Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy of September 15th, 2008. The main contribution of this article is to analyze if the interdependence structure between the G14 banks changed significantly during the crisis period. We try to identify the banks which were the most or the least affected by losses induced by the crisis and we draw some conclusions in terms of their vulnerability to financial shocks. We find that all banks became highly interdependent during Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy (short term impact), but only some banks faced high contagion during the global financial crisis (long term impact). Regulators who try to reinforce banks' stability with the Basel 3 reforms proposals should be interested by these results.

CCHIT Certifies Allscripts EHR Products
Allscripts Sunrise Acute Care, Version 5.5 and Sunrise Emergency Care Version 5.5 have been certified as Complete Electronic Health Records for 2011/2012 by the federal government's Certification Commission for Health Information Technology, the company announced this week.
"CCHIT is pleased to be testing and certifying products so that companies are now able to offer these products to providers who wish to purchase and implement certified EHR technology and achieve meaningful use in time for the 2011-2012 incentives," CCHIT Chair Karen M. Bell, MD, said in a media release issued by Allscripts.
The 2011/2012 criteria support the Stage 1 meaningful use measures required to qualify eligible providers and hospitals for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Additionally, Sunrise Acute Care Modular Version 5.5, Sunrise Emergency Care Modular Version 5.5, Sunrise Ambulatory Modular Version 5.5, and Sunrise Patient Portal Version 5.5 are all CCHIT 2011/2012 compliant and were also certified as EHR Modules on Dec. 21 by CCHIT.
"Certification of our Sunrise Acute Care, Emergency Department and Ambulatory Electronic Health Records is an important milestone for the company as it marks the completion of ARRA certification for our full portfolio of ambulatory and acute EHRs, a commitment we made to our clients," said Glen Tullman, CEO of Chicago-based Allscripts.
Allscripts said it submitted Sunrise Acute Care and Emergency Care for certification as both a Complete and Modular EHR to accommodate hospitals that prefer to keep an existing third-party analytic system. Hospitals can either use the Sunrise Clinical Analytics embedded within Sunrise Acute Care or Sunrise Emergency Care to demonstrate the quality measure reporting requirement of Meaningful Use, or choose to integrate their third-party system to with Sunrise Acute Care Modular to satisfy the requirement.

BLM issues sage grouse conservation policies memo
December 5, 2012
The Bureau of Land Management has issued an instructional memorandum that provides interim conservation policies and procedures to be applied to ongoing and proposed activities affecting the Bi-state Distinct Population Segment of the Greater Sage-grouse and its habitat.
The Bi-state DPS refers to a specific sub-population of Greater Sage-grouse in a small area of California and Nevada with different decision timelines and processes separate from the eventual decision regarding the Greater Sage-grouse.
The direction provided in the memo covers activities carried out during the current revision of resource management plans that include the area where the Bi-state DPS is located and addresses actions related to vegetation management, wildfire suppression and rehabilitation, rights-of-way, minerals, grazing, recreation, travel management and wild horse and burro management.
"Through these policies and procedures, we seek to maintain, enhance, or restore conditions for the Bi-state Greater Sage-grouse population and its habitat," said BLM Nevada State Director Amy Lueders. "Our goal is to conserve habitat necessary to sustain Greater Bi-state populations and reduce the likelihood of listing under the Endangered Species Act."
The memo is available online at http://www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/prog/wildlife/greater_sage-grouse.html

Formula BMW Talent Cup winner to line up in ATS Formula 3 Cup.
Munich, 22nd December 2010. The attractive prize for the winner of the 2011 Formula BMW Talent Cup has been announced: the most successful graduate of the new BMW junior programme will receive full financing from BMW to compete in the ATS Formula 3 Cup the following season. After a successful season in BMW Motorsport's new talent promotion scheme, which features no less than 18 races in Europe over the course of the year, this traditional championship will offer the winner the opportunity to gain more valuable experience in single-seater racing and take the next step up the career ladder.
The organiser of the ATS Formula 3 Cup is Formel-3-Vereinigung (F3V) e.V., which has been committed to promoting single-seater racing in Germany since 1975. An ever-expanding field, high-class races, intense media interest, presence at large events, and the cooperation with ADAC make the ATS Formula 3 Cup one of the big names on the German motorsport scene.
BMW Motorsport Director Mario Theissen says: "The ATS Formula 3 Cup is an ideal next stop for the winner of the Formula BMW Talent Cup. This series demands all the skills we will give competitors in the Talent Cup. We are looking forward to working with the Formel-3-Vereinigung, which has been doing a very good job of promoting juniors for years."
Detlef Kramp, Chairman of Formel-3-Vereinigung e.V., says: "We will welcome the winner of the Formula BMW Talent Cup to the ATS Formula 3 Cup with open arms and follow his or her progress. We are already excited to see how the winner will do in our championship. Sebastian Vettel's victory in the Formula One World Championship has proven that BMW's promotion of junior drivers bears fruits. Former Formula BMW drivers are regulars in many series. We will watch the competitors in the Formula BMW Talent Cup very closely over the course of the season."
BMW is promoting junior racing drivers with the Formula BMW Talent Cup. This programme systematically prepares participants for a successful career in motorsport and offers drivers considerably more time on the track than most international junior racing series. As a driving ambassador for Formula BMW, Dirk Adorf (DE) will be on hand to offer the participants advice and support, as will an experienced team of international experts consisting of other BMW works drivers, instructors, and fitness and mental coaches. The highlight of the comprehensive training programme is the finale at the DTM event in Oschersleben.

This is "An Annunciation" (2005) by Richard Hamilton, who died last year and has a small show at the National Gallery. It's his iconoclastic take on the Virgin Mary receiving the news that she's expecting. The computer-generated, painted-over image is a witty wink at the Florentine Renaissance.
Hamilton seems to have looked back a lot. The show's climax is an unfinished triptych titled "Le Chef d'Oeuvre Inconnu" ("The Unknown Masterpiece"), which shows a nude surrounded by Balzac, Courbet and Titian. The idea came from a Balzac short story, where an artist boasts he's making a masterpiece, then produces a dud where only a woman's foot is recognizable.

"...this book is excellent and highly recommended."
Short Book Reviews, Vol. 21, No. 2, August, 2001
For the instructor, a course outline is, simply put, the first four chapters (excluding the material in Section Three of Chapter Two on successors and cryptanalysis of DES) as the core material for a basic introduction to the area. Optional material (determined by the pointing hand symbol) may be added at the discretion of the instructor, depending upon the needs and background of the students involved. The material in Section One of Chapter One is a motivator for the material in the text by giving an overview of the history of the subject, beginning with the first rumblings of cryptography in ancient Egypt four millennia ago and ending with our modern day needs and challenges. There is sufficient historical data on various ciphers, such as the Caesar cipher, the Playfair cipher, the German World War I ADFGVX field cipher, and one of Edgar Allan Poe's famous cryptograms, to provide a novel set of challenging exercises at the end of this first section to motivate the reader further. Section Two of Chapter One is similarly a history, this time of factoring and primality testing. This may be seen as a precursor to the core material in Chapter Four and the optional material in Chapter Five. We begin with the notion of a prime defined in Euclid's Elements and proceed through several primality testing and factoring techniques introduced by Fibonacci and developed by Fermat, Euler, and numerous others up to Lucas at the end of the nineteenth century. We continue with Kraitchik, Lehmer and others whose work ushered in the twentieth century, setting the groundwork for algorithms to be developed in the computer age. Section Three of Chapter One develops the basics of computer arithmetic, and sets the stage for Section Four which explores complexity issues.
Section One of Chapter Two is an introduction to modular arithmetic. The language of congruences is developed from the basic definition through Wilson's Theorem, Fermat's Little Theorem, Euler's generalization, the Arithmetic of the Totient, the Chinese Remainder Theorem and its generalization together with numerous illustrations such as the Coconut Problem, the Egg Basket Problem, and the Units of Work problem, culminating in a tool to be used in many of the cryptographic techniques developed in the text --- the Repeated Squaring Method for Modular Exponentiation. Section Two of Chapter Two is devoted to the first of the two symmetric-key cryptosystems to be studied, namely block ciphers. From requisite definitions of the basic concepts such as enciphering and deciphering transformations, we provide detailed discussions, with examples and diagrams, of numerous block ciphers including: affine, substitution, running-key, as well as transposition and permutation ciphers; concluding with a complete, detailed description of the Data Encryption Standard, DES, together with many illustrative figures. Section Three of Chapter Two is optional, containing a discussion of modes of operation and cryptanalysis of blocks ciphers such as DES, and the candidates for the successor of DES, the soon to be Advanced Encryption Standard, AES. We give a complete, detailed, illustrated description of one of the candidates, the Twofish cipher, which is preceded by a discussion of Feistel ciphers of which the latter is an example. Section Four of Chapter Two deals with the other class of symmetric-key ciphers --- stream ciphers. The reader is taken on a journey from the basic definition of a stream cipher through the notions of keystreams, seeds, generators, randomness, one-time pads, synchronous and self-synchronizing ciphers, linear feedback shift registers, and nonlinear combination generators, plus several illustrations and examples.
Chapter Three addresses public-key cryptosystems, beginning in Section One with exponentiation, discrete logarithms, and protocols. In particular, we present the Pohlig-Hellman symmetric key exponentiation cipher, one-way functions, coin flipping via both exponentiation and one-way functions, bit commitment protocols, the Pohlig-Hellman algorithm for computing discrete logarithms, hash functions, message authentication codes, and the Diffie-Hellman key-exchange protocol. The latter motivates the discussion in Section Two where we look at public-key cryptosystems, beginning with the definition of trapdoor one-way functions, which leads to a discussion of the RSA public-key cryptosystem. Then a definition of modular roots and power residues fleshes out our knowledge of congruences sufficiently to describe the Rabin and ElGamal public-key ciphers. Section Three deals with issues surrounding authentication, the need for which is motivated by an illustrated discussion of impersonation attacks on public-key cryptosystems. This leads into a definition of the notions surrounding digital signatures. As illustrations, we present the RSA, Rabin and ElGamal public-key signature schemes. Section Four studies the knapsack problem. Once the basics are set up, we provide a definition of superincreasing sequences, illustrated by the Merkle-Hellman and Chor-Rivest knapsack cryptosystems. Chapter Three concludes with a comparison and a contrasting of symmetric-key and public-key ciphers, with a description of the modern approach using combinations of both types of ciphers for a more secure cryptographic envelope.
Chapter Four deals with primality testing, starting in Section One with an introduction to primitive roots, moving from the definition to a discussion of Gauss's algorithm for computing primitive roots, Artin's conjecture, and the fundamental primitive root theorem. We then engage in a development of the index calculus, leading to Euler's criterion for power residue congruences. Our knowledge of quadratic residues is then advanced by the introduction of the Legendre symbol and its properties, which allows us to prove Gauss's quadratic reciprocity law. Another step up is taken with a definition of the Jacobi symbol and its properties, which we need later in the chapter. Section Two inspects true primality tests including the Lucas-Lehmer test, the Pocklington theorem, Proth's theorem, and Pepin's test. The section concludes with a discussion of complexity of primality testing, including the introduction of the notion of a certificate. Probabilistic primality tests are the topic of Section Three, starting with the definitions of Euler Liars, pseudoprimes, and witnesses. Then we work through and illustrate the Solovay-Strassen probabilistic primality test. Once the concept of strong pseudoprimes, liars, and witnesses are introduced, we are in a position to present the Miller-Rabin-Selfridge strong pseudoprime. The section concludes with a general discussion of Monte Carlo algorithms, of which the latter two algorithms are examples.
Chapter Five on factoring is the first of two optional chapters. Section One involves an illustrated description of three factoring algorithms: Pollard's p-1 method, the Brillhart-Morrison continued fraction algorithm, and the quadratic sieve. A brief history of how the work of Legendre, Euler, Kraitchik and Lehmer led to the development of these algorithms is also provided, as is a discussion of how the notions can be generalized. This motivates the topic of Section Two, which begins with an illustration of how Pollard's original idea for factoring with cubic integers led to the development of the number field sieve. Then a detailed description of the special number field sieve is given (with the factorization of the ninth Fermat number as an illustration) along with a discussion of its complexity in relation to the general number field sieve.
Chapter Six contains advanced topics. The first section introduces elliptic curves from the basic definition and leads the reader through the development of the elliptic curve group structure with several figures to illustrate the geometry in relation to the algebraic development. Once the basics are established, we state (without proof) some deep results needed for the cryptography, including the Nagell-Lutz Theorem, Mazur's theorem, Mordell's theorem, Siegel's theorem, and Hasse's theorem. We then present, and illustrate with worked examples, Lenstra's elliptic curve factoring method as well as the elliptic curve primality test and some generalizations thereof. To prepare for the cryptosystems, we generalize the notion of discrete logs to elliptic curves, and describe both the ElGamal and Menezes-Vanstone public-key elliptic curve cryptosystems. The section concludes with a discussion of the security of elliptic curve ciphers. The next section takes a look at the concept of zero-knowledge proofs in its various formats. We illustrate with the Feige-Fiat-Shamir identification protocol, the cut and choose protocol, and Hamiltonian circuits. The section is concluded with a study of noninteractive zero-knowledge protocols and zero-knowledge proofs of discrete log. Section Three, the last section of the main text of the book, takes us into the realm of quantum cryptography. The basis upon which the latter rests is the Heisenberg uncertainty principle that we discuss at length. We demonstrate how this principle can be used to generate a secret key for a quantum cryptosystem, called quantum key generation. The amazing properties of both quantum computers and quantum cryptography are considered, including the proposals for nuclear magnetic resonance-based quantum computers. The latter are closer to the proposed DNA-based computers, which would be several orders of magnitude faster than the fastest supercomputers known today. To take the reader to the edge of the fantastic, we also look at quantum teleportation and all that implies. The building of a quantum computer (a prototype of which already exists) would have dramatic consequences, not the least of which would be the breaking of public-key cryptography, such has RSA cryptosystems.
The book is ideal for the student since it offers a wealth of exercises with nearly 300 problems. The more challenging exercises are marked with a star symbol. Also, complete and detailed solutions to all of the odd-numbered exercises are provided at the back of the text. Complete and detailed solutions of the even-numbered exercises are included in a Solutions Manual, which is available from the publisher for the instructor who adopts the text for a course. The exercises marked with two stars are to be considered only by the reader who requires an exceptional challenge, or for the instructor to extract from the solutions manual to present to students as an additional feature.
The text is accessible to anyone from the beginning undergraduate to the research scientist. Appendix A, described below, contains a review of all of the requisite background material. Essentially, the reader can work through the book without any serious impediment or need to seek another source in order to learn the core material.
There are more than 50 biographies of the individuals who helped develop cryptographic concepts. These are given in the footnotes woven throughout the text, to give a human face to the cryptography being presented. A knowledge of the lives of these individuals can only deepen our appreciation of the material at hand. The footnote presentation of their lives allows the reader to have immediate information at will, or to treat them as digressions, and access them later without significantly interfering with the main mathematical text at hand. The footnotes contain not only the bibliographical information cited above, but also historical data of interest, as well as other information which the discerning reader may want to explore at leisure.
There are optional topics, denoted by a pencil symbol, which add additional material for the more advanced reader or the reader requiring more challenging material which goes beyond the basics presented in the core data.
There are more than 80 examples throughout the text to illustrate the concepts presented, as well as in excess of 60 diagrams, figures, and tables.
Appendix A contains fundamental facts for the uninitiated reader or the reader requiring a quick finger-tip reference for a reminder of the underlying background used in the text. We begin with the basic notions surrounding set theory, binary relations and operations, functions, the basic laws of arithmetic, as well as notions surrounding divisibility including the Euclidean algorithm and its generalization, properties of the gcd and lcm, the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, the principle of induction, and properties of the binomial coefficient including the binomial theorem. Then we turn to some basic concepts in matrix theory, the fundamentals surrounding polynomials and polynomial rings (having already introduced the basic notions of groups, rings and fields in Section One of Chapter Two), morphisms of rings, vector spaces, and sequences. We close the appendix with fundamental concepts needed in the text concerning continued fractions.
For ease of search, the reader will find consecutive numbering, namely object N.m is the mth object in Chapter N (or Appendix N), exclusive of footnotes and exercises, which are numbered separately and consecutively unto themselves. Thus, for instance, Diagram 2.76 is the 76th numbered object in Chapter Two; exclusive of footnotes and exercises; Exercise 3.36 is the 36th exercise in Chapter Three; and Footnote 4.9 is the ninth footnote in Chapter Four.
The bibliography contains morethan 200 references for further reading.
The list of symbols is designed so that the reader may determine, at a glance, on which page the first defining occurrence of a desired notation exists, and the symbols are all contained on a single page.
The index has more than 2,400 entries, and has been devised in such a way to ensure that there is maximum ease in getting information from the text.

GRAND RAPIDS — Grand Valley State University engineering students will be sponsored by a local West Michigan company and engaged in hands on work through a unique new program.
The School of Engineering is introducing a graduate assistantship program that allows students receiving a master's degree in engineering (MSE) to perform work outside of the university with the companies.
Compared to an internship, where a company employs a student for a specific block of time, graduate students will be part of a company for a full year or more. Grand Rapids Chair is the first company to join the program and will sponsor a graduate assistant in 2012.
"Few students have the opportunity to not only get a master's degree, but to work on an actual project for a small manufacturing company like ours," said Geoff Miller, vice president of Operations for Grand Rapids Chair and Grand Valley MSE graduate.
"Our graduate student will have the opportunity to not only learn and experience engineering, but many different aspects of our company like manufacturing, materials, finance, sales and marketing."
Miller said this new arrangement will provide an exciting, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Graduate students are usually offered assistantships as teaching or research assistants, and most schools fund the students through research and grants from government entities," said Paul Plotkowski, dean of the Padnos College of Engineering and Computing.
Plotkowski explained that the graduate assistant (GA) will perform supervised engineering work and applied research in the field for up to 20 hours per week during the fall and winter semesters while taking a full course load, then transition to 40 hours of field work each week in the summer.
"These graduate students already have a valued undergraduate degree under their belt, so they will be overseeing real engineering work," said Shabbir Choudhuri, associate professor of engineering and graduate program director.
The number of internships for engineering students increased by 42 percent in 2010, and computing and information systems co-ops increased by 31 percent, compared to 2009.
"Employers are seeing the value of industry-sponsored experience, so our reaction is to provide it for our graduate students as well," Plotkowski said.
Companies interested in joining the program can contact Choudhuri at email@example.com or (616) 331-6845.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Köln, Germany, 2006/11/16 - New online and mobile services and innovative banking products are designed to evolve with the ever changing demand of modern people, who are accustomed to accessing timely information even while on the move.
More and more banks formulate and implement multichannel-strategies to strengthen their interaction with both private and corporate banking customers. New online and mobile services and innovative banking products are designed to evolve with the ever changing demand of modern people, who are accustomed to accessing timely information even while on the move. The good news here for the banks call centers and branches, costs can be simultaneously decreased.
European multichannel-banking has recently developed a clear trend to enrich the existing channels with second generation online and mobile information services. For the modern customer, its simply too strenuous to physically visit their bank to retrieve account information they prefer to use mobile home technology instead and thats were the mobile phone comes into play.
Bank customers do want to use mobile services, points out Markus Buettner, director of comyno ltd., a software and consulting firm specialized on the financial sector. First of all, they want to have information surrounding their banking activities. Triggered by those facts, comyno have developed the comyno product suite, a banking-alerts system delivering real-time banking alerts. A system which assists the bank to fall in line with the customers changing needs. Integrated seamlessly into the banks infrastructure by providing interfaces compliant to international standards, banks can decide whether to introduce all channels at once or on a phased approach.
Additionally, the banking alerts system improves security. In times, when phishing and pharming criminals steal money from the customers accounts, its naturally a plus if information about account transfers goes to the customers as quickly as possible. Fraudulent transactions can be discovered within a shorter timeframe - leaving enough time for the banks to react.
And the banking alerts system saves the bank cash. About 40 percent of the customers inquiries to branch and call-center staff relate to account balances queries! The simple inquiries erode resources and are expensive as a rule of thumb, not less than EUR 5,- per inquiry. Massive costs, which can significantly be decreased by simply deploying the comyno product suite. Obviously, its in the banks own interest to offer more cost efficient possibilities to deliver that information to their customers and even better, if its available 24/7 anywhere. Freeing up call-center and branch resources to focus on more complicated inquiries and hence placing more emphasis on marketing and product turnover.
Worldwide innovation: banking alerts via RSS
Furthermore, the comyno account-ticker is an individual service: based on the customers preferences, they can freely choose the channel they want to get their information delivered, be it SMS, email or for the first time via RSS-feeds via the PC or mobile phone. RSS is a widely accepted technology for the distribution of news and other content, with its usage and visibility heavily increasing within the so called web 2.0 discussion. Comyno is the first company to integrate RSS for the distribution of account related information. RSS will evolve into a decision criterion in the financial services sector, Markus Büttner predicts. Web 2.0 and RSS will move into the mainstream. Banks who embark with the integration today will profit from an extensive competitive advantage and increased customer satisfaction and customer retention. A recent Gartner-report , calling banks to adopt web 2.0 technologies and to develop personalized RSS-feeds for their customers, backs up his thesis.
Being present throughout all channels is of outmost importance for a financial institution to further leverage its brand within the different customer segments. Comyno helps to increase the customers awareness financial institutions can attach corporate information to each SMS, email or RSS-message. be it attractive slogans, call-center number or current interest rates there are various possibilities to get the customers attention.
Registration quick and easy
Easy registration with the service is crucial for its customer take-up. Using comynos web-interface from the banks web- or home-banking site, customers simply register and save their profile. A wizard lets them quickly configure about what, when and via which channel they want to be informed: be it certain balance or balance threshold alerts, all online transactions or transactions meeting freely definable criteria based on the amount or even text driven. The definitions might be adjusted or put on hold any time.
Increased security
With online-banking phishing and pharming fraud still on the increase, comyno banking alerts add to security with simultaneously adding to convenience, too! Online-fraudsters still find ways to steal online credentials from bank customers and manage to outsmart existing security infrastructure, resulting in damages both financially and to customers trust. Providing banking alerts means earlier detection of suspicious banking transactions, giving more time to react accordingly. The service itself filters sensitive information like account numbers from its messages it is secure, easy to use and available any time, everywhere.
About comyno
Comyno Ltd (comyno.com) is an international software and consulting firm headquartered near Frankfurt am Main, Germany, focused on financial services solutions. The innovative systems designed and implemented by comyno integrate proven web 2.0 technologies, tailored to financial services requirements. Comyno banking alerts system has been developed specifically for the financial services sector to offer event-driven banking alerts via SMS, email and RSS-feeds in real-time.

Sorry if this is a double post. I tried doing a sitewide search for email@example.com but nothing turned up.
I'm having the same issues here too. Email::setAdminEmail('email@example.com'); is set in _config.php, yet the site still sends email with the from address set to firstname.lastname@example.com.
I know this isn't hard coded anywhere, as the "sub" part in that address changes now and then. Must be some sort of email load balancing at my host.
2 Strange things:
1. setAdminEmail worked for a while, but as soon as I changed the recipient address in the CMS, it went back to this.
2. Last time it did this, it would eventually cease to send the emails at all (but still log the user's input)
Anyone know if this is a known bug?
Has anybody got a solution to this yet? thanks.

NEW YORK – The sun's activity is in free fall, according to a leading space physicist. But don't expect a little ice age.
"Solar activity is declining very fast at the moment," said Mike Lockwood, a professor of space environmental physics at Britain's Reading University. "We estimate faster than at any time in the last 9,300 years."
Lockwood and colleagues are reassessing the chances of this decline's becoming the first "grand solar minimum" in four centuries. During a grand minimum, the normal 11-year solar cycle is suppressed and the sun has virtually no sunspots for several decades. This summer should have seen an increase in the number of sunspots, but it did not happen.
Lockwood thinks there is now a 25 percent chance of a repetition of the last grand minimum, the late 17th-century Maunder Minimum, when there were no sunspots for 70 years.
The Maunder Minimum coincided with the worst European winters of the little ice age, a period lasting centuries when several regions around the globe experienced unusual cooling.
But Lockwood says we should not expect a new grand minimum to bring on a new little ice age. Human-induced global warming, he says, is already a more important force in global temperatures than even major solar cycles. Temperatures have risen by about 1.5 degrees since 1880, with more warming expected.
Still, there may be noticeable consequences. For instance, less solar activity can slow the jet stream, triggering extreme weather events such as the 2010 Russian heat wave and Pakistan floods.
There have been 24 grand solar minimums in the past 10,000 years. Their history is reconstructed by looking for isotopes, including carbon-14, that cosmic rays generate in the atmosphere. Solar activity boosts the solar wind, which deflects cosmic rays coming at Earth, so less solar activity means more cosmic rays and more of these isotopes.
How the isotopes vary over time can be measured by looking at such things as tree rings, which absorb carbon-14, and ice cores, which accumulate beryllium-10.
The current long-term decline in solar activity began after the last grand solar maximum peaked in 1956, Lockwood says. The decline has accelerated recently, and the absence of sunspots this summer has set alarm bells ringing.
The extent to which solar cycles influence global temperatures is still debated, as is the question of whether the recent decline has helped cause the current hiatus in the pace of global warming.

USL-1 season closes with Seattle on top
The Seattle Sounders entered the final week of the USL First Division two points back in a three-way race for the Commissioner's Cup as the regular season champion, but had non-league aspirations also on the agenda as they faced FC Dallas in the U.S. Open Cup Semifinal Tuesday.
Looking for a third straight win over an MLS opponent in the Open Cup, the Sounders would come up short as the 2005 USL-1 champions finished on the wrong side of a thrilling 2-1 overtime decision at Qwest Field.
The disappointing loss did not sidetrack the Sounders, however, as they played host to the California Victory two nights later. Seattle pasted the last-place side 4-0 on a hat-trick from striker Sebastien Le Toux to pull into a one-point lead over rival Portland Timbers and the defending two-time regular season champion Montreal Impact, who moved level with Portland at the top on Wednesday with a 1-0 win over Atlanta. The trio would enter the final weekend with one game remaining and separated by one point.
Montreal's bid for a third consecutive and sixth all-time regular season championship came up short, however, Saturday night in Rochester. Despite shutting their rival out in three previous wins recently, the Impact were stunned by the Rhinos, who delivered a 2-0 reversal of the last two games between the pair.
The regular season championship came down to the final night of the season with Portland scoreboard watching as their game started an hour after Seattle's in Minnesota. The Sounders went up 1-0 in the 14th and held on for the win to lock up the Commissioner's Cup.
At the other end of the playoff chase, the Carolina RailHawks and Charleston Battery came into the week looking to pass idle Miami FC for the eighth playoff spot. Charleston would get the first crack Friday at taking the commanding position despite Carolina holding the tiebreaker advantage between the two, but were unable to do so as they played to a scoreless stalemate against playoff bound Puerto Rico.
On Saturday, the expansion RailHawks rebounded from their 2-1 overtime U.S. Open Cup loss to the New England Revolution and a Thursday night drubbing in a 5-0 league loss at Minnesota to take care of business in California, posting a 2-0 win to clinch the final playoff spot and a quarterfinal fixture against the regular season champion.
The defending champion Vancouver Whitecaps battled to a 1-1 draw against Atlanta Friday, which secured fourth for the Silverbacks, and closed up the USL-1 regular season schedule with a scoreless draw against Portland, setting up a rematch series in the playoffs.
The two-leg, aggregate score quarterfinal series will take place Friday, Sept. 14 and Sunday, Sept. 16. Seattle will face Carolina, second-seed Portland will play Vancouver, third-seed Montreal will take on Puerto Rico and fourth-place Atlanta will meet Rochester. Atlanta, Carolina, Montreal and Vancouver will open the quarterfinals at home Friday.

Mr. Obnoxious just got a real JUICY bit of information . . . NBA ballers passing women around like they are good joints and it might cause some serious DRAMA. Mr. Obnoxious spoke to a person IN THE KNOW who told me that NBA baller ZACH RANDOLPH (Memphis Grizzlies) is EXTRA HOT a fellow NBA player, Joe Johnson (Atlanta HAWKS).
Why . . . well beause according to our insider, Joe STOLE Zach's girlfriend or should I say his jumpoff. . a girl named LOLA.
Apparently LOLA was Zach's LONGTIME JUMPOFF (Zach has a LIVE-IN GIRLFRIEND named Faune that he is serious about). And well . . . Lola found her way to move from the JUMPOFF category . . to WIFEY category with Joe Johnson.
The below pics show Faune as Joe's DATE to his 30th birthday pary. She is officially his WIFEY.
So this might be the case of Joe getting sprung Lola, who has moved up in her NBA Chick Status!

Daylight: Time to Get Grooving
Friday, May 5, 2006
Sunday night events are always a hard sell. The weekend's winding down, and people have to get to work the next morning. Though the mind may be interested in checking out the likes of Sam "the Man" Burns, who keeps crowds moving until the wee hours of Monday morning at Dragonfly, the body is often weak, or at least preoccupied.
Late-night-quality DJs without the late hours: That's one of the ideas behind Daylight, a new dance-party-meets-house-party at D.C. Sanctuary (1355 H St. NE; 202-399-4033). Organized by Tony Sizemore, the Sanctuary's gregarious weekend doorman, and DJ Bill Source, the deft hands behind State of the Union's Grits & Gravy events, Daylight opens its doors at 5 p.m. Sundays, serving up soulful grooves and hip-hop beats on the dance floor and a cookout in the back yard until 11.
"When you get a little older, you can't hang out like you used to," says Sizemore, who's 38. "You got your career, family, your responsibilities. This is set up so you can roll in at 6:30, get some good food, hear some good music, then get home by 9, or you can go over to Sam's party."
The hours may be convenient, but the music, a mix of house, '70s R&B, soul and disco, is what the crowd comes for. "The crux of the party is all the old funk stuff and the rare grooves," Sizemore says, rattling off a playlist that includes Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan and Shalamar, mixed in with classic Womack & Womack or Afrika Bambaataa.
"We started this night for selfish reasons," Sizemore says. "We love this music, and we didn't have a place to go and hear it. We're not trying to make this a popular party or the trendy party. We want the heads, the people who really love this music, to come out and have a good time."
There's a small bar, and if you take a staircase down to the back yard, you'll find a mesh-walled tent where caterer Nichelle Johnson offers a choice of hot dogs, spicy barbecue and spaghetti and meatballs for $5 a plate. Introductions are mandatory, and within minutes, you're chatting like old friends. Discussions center on music, food and the party rather than your day job, which comes as a relief after all those "So, what do you do?" questions at your average happy hour.
Daylight is off to a solid start, drawing more than 80 people a few weeks ago, but Sizemore says the promoters intend to keep things interesting. "The crux of the party is soul music, but every week we give you a side dish of old house or '80s electro -- you know, Tears for Fears or Kajagoogoo, we love that stuff. We might play some old-school hip-hop, but nothing after 1990. We're digging in the crates."
Sounds like the perfect summer jam.

Your use of runes in that set up is weird. Why stack multiple malice runes when 5 runes from the same set will get you better condition damage than 6 different ones?
Check the math: 28*6 > 100. I tested this in PVP, and 6 different Malice runes stack additively.

Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
It was very easy but I liked the way it looked and everything was easy to use and understand. The ending was strange and perhaps needed a few words to describe what had happened. As an experiment, I think it's fine. I would like to see it expanded, I think it could be interesting.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Very Awesome game! Loved It!!!!!
Rated 3 / 5 stars
I'm not able to see my arm to cut it open to get the key... Not sure why. I have the note, and the knife, and know what I need to do, but can't get my arm to appear on the screen to cut it, yes, I finally looked at the walkthrough because I knew something was not working right. I don't know why that part of the game is not working for me.. :(
Rated 3 / 5 stars
Good game but ending was... in the kindest way I can put it... suckish. But other than that good game. Oh and was this a project? If so what was the grade?
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars
The game was extremely easy compared to other escape games. The graphics weren't the best either. It didn't excite me at all. Needs more work I think.

Saying that "unification will happen," South Korean President Lee Myung-bak on Sunday proposed a three-step plan to unify the Korean peninsula and a new tax to help his country absorb the enormous costs of integration.
Unification talk, even hypothetical, is a delicate subject on the Korean peninsula, especially at a time when North Korea is dealing with the poor health of its leader, Kim Jong Il, and a rushed succession process for his son, Kim Jong Eun. Analysts said Lee's proposal will probably draw a sharp backlash from the North.
Lee is the first South Korean president to propose a tax to help with the costs of unification, and his remarks reflect the growing sentiment among South Koreans that they must plan for a North Korean collapse.
If North Korea collapses, South Korea would face a massive burden as refugees flood across the border, requiring hundreds of thousands of troops. The cost of unification, according to one study, would exceed $1 trillion.
Since the 1990s, the U.S. and South Korean governments have quietly discussed contingency plans for North Korea's collapse, but China — the North's closest ally — has refused to join in, reluctant to anger Kim.
Lee's plan, similar to proposals from previous South Korean leaders, calls for North Korea to abandon nuclear weapons plans. If North Korea meets that demand — and years of international persuasion have not succeeded — Lee's plan calls for a "peace community," improved economic cooperation and then the establishment of a "national community."
"Inter-Korean relations demand a new paradigm," Lee said, according to South Korea's Yonhap news agency. "It is imperative that the two sides choose coexistence instead of confrontation, progress instead of stagnation."
Relations between the countries, which are still technically at war, have deteriorated during Lee's presidency, hitting a low point with the torpedo sinking of the Cheonan warship in March, in which 46 South Korean sailors died.
"Overall, I see a major contradiction in his proposal, proposing a unification tax while having burnt all the bridges with North Korea," said Moon Chung-in, a professor of political science at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea.

OAKLAND (KRON) — Lawyers for the family of 13-year old Jahi McMath have just hours to try to prevent Children's Hospital Oakland from removing the teen's life support.
A judge has ruled Jahi is brain dead but ordered the hospital to keep the girl on a ventilator through at least 5:00 p.m. today.
Family members and their attorney say they hope to get the judge to extend that deadline while they continue to look for other facilities that will accept Jahi.
The teenager suffered a heart attack and bleeding after undergoing surgery to have her tonsils removed on December 9. At least three doctors, including one appointed by the court have agreed the girl is brain dead.
Jahi's mother says she believes in miracles. The family has explored moving Jahi to at least three long-term care facilities. As of Monday morning it appeared all of those had fallen through.
"There is unfortunately no amount of hope, no amount of prayer that can bring her back," Children's Hospital spokesman Sam Singer says. "Barring any unforseen legal action by the Gold and the family, when five o'clock comes around the ventilator will be removed."
Stay tuned to KRON 4, the KRON 4 Mobile App, and KRON4.com for the latest on this developing story.

Hi Babs :lol: :lol:
Welcome to our family! Please pick our brains as often and as thoroughly as you want. That is why we are here.
We are all familiar with the debilitating fatigue and have had to make lifestyle changes in order to deal with it. My suggestion is to accept the fact that you are going to get fatigued. Do not try to "work" through it, do not try to keep pushing yourself. Doing so will certainly worsen the fatigue and could eventually send you to a place where you cannot even get out of the bed. Take the time to rest, nap or just sit still. Allow your body to get the rest that it so badly needs. If you can find a place during your lunch hours or your morning and afternoon breaks to rest (I used to crawl under my desk and actually fall asleep), then do so. Listen to your body and NEVER ignore what it is telling you. Stay out of the sun if you can, and when you can't, make sure that you wear UV protection SPF 20 and above.
Take your medications and work closely with your doctors if you feel your dosages should be changed or if different medications is needed. Never stop medications without your doctors knowledge. Finally, try to do some type of exercise on a regular basis. This helps with the fatigue and also helps your body to maintain some form of normalcy. Try to stay away from jarring aerobic exercise!
We are here to give you as much help, information, support and comfort as we can. I wish you the very best!
Peace and Blessings
