Christina Lomasney isn't out to change the way we share photos with one another, nor does she want to create a new mobile app for finding the best restaurants in your neighborhood. Nope, she's frankly got bigger fish to fry.
A University of Washington-trained physicist who previously worked at Boeing, Lomasney believes that Modumetal's nanolaminated coatings are stronger, lighter and more durable than steel.
Now, that's cooler than any new social networking startup.
Modumetal got a ringing endorsement earlier this month when it raised more than $10 million from Second Avenue Partners; Catamount Ventures; Chevron Technology Ventures and other undisclosed backers. At the same time, Concur CEO Steve Singh (another 2012 GeekWire Newsmaker) joined the board.
The cool thing about Modumetal is that after years in the research lab, it is just getting rolling. The 20-person startup truly does have the opportunity to transform not one, but multiple industries, reinventing how everything from buildings to oil platforms to automobiles are constructed.
That alone made Lomasney an easy choice for the 2012 GeekWire Newsmakers of the Year list.
We'll recognize the Newsmakers of the Year at the GeekWire Gala, Dec. 6 at McCaw Hall in Seattle. Details and Tickets Here.
"We have some very large customers that are engaged with us and are excited about the application," Lomasney told GeekWire earlier this month. "I think we will see a huge turning point, probably in the next year to 18 months."
We'll be spotlighting all of our 2012 Newsmakers on GeekWire over the next month, leading up to the GeekWire Gala on Dec. 6 at McCaw Hall in Seattle. Many of the newsmakers, including Lomasney, will be joining us and the rest of the tech community on that night to mark a remarkable year of news.

This video, unfortunately, only shows the last few seconds of a little league coach's tirade against the ump. According to witnesses, it went on for a lot longer than this, and included "belittling [his own team] and swearing while describing the way they played." That's an awful lot of buttmad for a questionable call, and it led to the umpire declaring the game forfeit.
There are not a ton of details on the incident took place this past Saturday, during a little league all-star game in Oxford, Conn. But we do know these were 11-year-old kids playing—which means it wasn't nearly important enough for the coach to lose his mind like that, and the umpire wasn't getting paid nearly enough to take that sort of abuse.

Trisecting an angle
|Ancient Greek index
|History Topics Index
There are three classical problems in Greek mathematics which were extremely influential in the development of geometry. These problems were those of squaring the circle, doubling the cube and trisecting an angle. Although these are closely linked, we choose to examine them in separate articles. The present article studies the problem of trisecting an arbitrary angle. In some sense this is the least famous of the three problems. Certainly in ancient Greek times doubling of the cube was the most famous, then in more modern times the problem of squaring the circle became the more famous, especially among amateur mathematicians.
The problem of trisecting an arbitrary angle, which we examine here, is the one for which I [EFR] have been sent the largest number of false proofs during my career. It is an easy task to tell that a 'proof' one has been sent 'showing' that the trisector of an arbitrary angle can be constructed using ruler and compasses must be incorrect since no such construction is possible. Of course knowing that a proof is incorrect and finding the error in it are two different matters and often the error is subtle and hard to find.
There are a number of ways in which the problem of trisecting an angle differs from the other two classical Greek problems. Firstly it has no real history relating to the way that the problem first came to be studied. Secondly it is a problem of a rather different type. One cannot square any circle, nor can one double any cube. However, it is possible to trisect certain angles. For example there is a fairly straightforward method to trisect a right angle. For given the right angle CAB draw a circle to cut AB at E. Draw a second circle (with the same radius) with centre E and let it intersect the first circle at D. Then DAE is an equilateral triangle and so the angle DAE is 60° and DAC is 30°. So the angle CAB is trisected.
Perhaps more surprisingly, angles such as one of 27° can be trisected - can you solve this? The problem is therefore to trisect an arbitrary angle and the aim is to make the construction using ruler and compass (which is impossible) but failing that to devise some method to trisect an arbitrary angle.
Pappus in his Mathematical collection writes (see for example [3]):-
When the ancient geometers sought to divide a given rectilinear angle into three equal parts they were at a loss for this reason. We say that there are three kinds of problem in geometry, the so-called 'plane', 'solid', and 'linear' problems. Those that can be solved with straight line and circle are properly called 'plane' problems, for the lines by which such problems are solved have their origin in a plane. Those problems that are solved by the use of one or more sections of the cone are called 'solid' problems. For it is necessary in the construction to use surfaces of solid figures, that is to say, cones. There remain the third type, the so-called 'linear' problem. For the construction in these cases curves other than those already mentioned are required, curves having a more varied and forced origin and arising from more irregular surfaces and from complex motions. Of this character are the curves discovered in the so-called 'surface loci' and numerous others even more involved ... . These curves have many wonderful properties. More recent writers have indeed considered some of them worthy of more extended treatment, and one of the curves is called 'the paradoxical curve' by Menelaus. Other curves of the same type are spirals, quadratrices, cochloids, and cissoids. ... Since problems differ in this way, the earlier geometers were not able to solve the aforementioned problem about the angle, because it is by nature solid; for they were not yet familiar with the sections of the cone, and for that reason were at a loss. Later, however, they trisected the angle by means of the conics, using in the solution the verging described below .....
We will describe the methods which were invented to solve this problem in a moment but first of all let us see why this problem arose in a natural way. Perhaps the most obvious way that one would come across the problem would be by examining a ruler and compass construction to bisect an angle. This is straightforward. Given the angle CAB then mark off equal lengths AB and AC. Complete the parallelogram CABD and draw in the diagonal AD which is then easily seen to bisect the angle CAB.
The ancient Greeks would certainly have wanted to divide angles into any required ratio for once that is possible the construction of a regular polygon of any number of sides would become possible. The construction of regular polygons using ruler and compass was certainly one of the major aims of Greek mathematics and it was not until the discoveries of Gauss that further polygons were constructed with ruler and compass which the ancient Greeks had failed to find.
Although it is difficult to give an accurate date as to when the problem of trisecting an angle first appeared, we do know that Hippocrates, who made the first major contribution to the problems of squaring a circle and doubling a cube, also studied the problem of trisecting an angle. There is a fairly straightforward way to trisect any angle which was known to Hippocrates.
It works as follows. Given an angle CAB then draw CD perpendicular to AB to cut it at D. Complete the rectangle CDAF. Extend FC to E and let AE be drawn to cut CD at H. Have the point E chosen so that HE = 2AC. Now angle EAB is 1/3 of angle CAB.
To see this let G be the midpoint of HE so that HG = GE = AC. Since ECH is a right angle, CG = HG = GE. Now angle EAB = angle CEA = angle ECG. Also since AC = CG we have angle CAG = angle CGA. But angle CGA = angle GEC + angle ECG = 2 × CEG = 2 ×EAB as required.
Now one of the reasons why the problem of trisecting an angle seems to have attracted less in the way of reported solutions by the best ancient Greek mathematicians is that the construction above, although not possible with an unmarked straight edge and compass, is nevertheless easy to carry out in practice. A mechanical type of solution is easily found. Just mark off a length of 2 × AC at the right hand end of the ruler and then slide the ruler with one mark on CD, the other on FC extended until the ruler defines a line passing through A. The trisector has then been found by a fairly easy mechanical process. So as a practical problem there was little left to do although the Greeks still were not satisfied in general with mechanical solutions from a purely mathematical point of view they did not find them. As Plato said:-
In proceeding in [a mechanical] way, did not one lose irredeemably the best of geometry...There is another mechanical solution given by Archimedes. Well we should qualify this is little and say that this method is given in the Arabic work called the Book of Lemmas which is attributed to Archimedes. Now certainly this work is not just a translation of a work of Archimedes since Archimedes is quoted several times in the work in a way that is quite impossible for someone to refer to themselves. However, most historians of mathematics believe that many of the results given in the Book of Lemmas are indeed due to Archimedes and the result given on trisecting an angle is so much in the spirit of the work On spirals that it is widely accepted that this method is indeed due to Archimedes. The construction proceeds as follows.
Given an angle CAB draw a circle with centre A so that AC and AB are radii of the circle. From C draw a line to cut BA produced at E. Have this line cut the circle at F and have the property that EF is equal to the radius of the circle. Again this can be done in a mechanical way by marking a length equal to the radius of the circle on the ruler and moving it keeping one mark on BA produced and having the second mark on the circle. Move the ruler keeping one mark on the line and the other on the circle until the ruler passes through C. Then the line EC is constructed. Finally draw from A the radius AX of the circle with AX parallel to EC. Then AX trisects angle CAB.
This is rather easy to see. Angle XAC = angle ACF = angle CFA = angle FEA + angle FAE = 2 × angle FEA = 2 × angle XAB.
Nicomedes lived at about the same time as Archimedes (in the second century BC) and he produced his famous conchoid curve. In fact this curve was invented by Nicomedes precisely to formalise the process which we have described of rotating a ruler keeping a point on a line. The ruler has a fixed distance marked on it and one mark is kept on a given line while the other traces the conchoid curve. The construction is explained in more detail in Nicomedes' biography in this archive. Now this is exactly the curve needed to solve both versions of trisection of an angle given above and Nicomedes solved the problem with his curve. However, in practice the method of moving a ruler until the required configuration was found was on the whole much easier than drawing the conchoid so Nicomedes method was more of theoretical rather than practical interest. Heath writes in [1]:-
Pappus tells us that in practice the conchoid was not always actually drawn but that some, for greater convenience, moved a ruler about the fixed point until by trial the intercept was found to be equal to the given length.Pappus tell us about the conchoid of Nicomedes in his Mathematical collection (see [3] for example). In the same work Pappus writes about how the problem of trisecting an angle was solved by Apollonius using conics. Pappus gives two solutions which both involve the drawing of a hyperbola.
The first shows that if AB is a fixed line then locus of a point P such that 2 × angle PAB = angle PBA is a hyperbola. The hyperbola has eccentricity 2, focus B and directrix the perpendicular bisector of AB. The hyperbola is given in the left of the two diagrams. The right of the two diagrams shows how this hyperbola can be used to trisect the angle AOB. With O as centre draw a circle through A and B. Then construct the parabola with eccentricity 2, focus B and directrix the perpendicular bisector of AB. Let it cut the circle at P. Then PO trisects the angle AOB.
To see this we need to note that, from the property of the hyperbola described above, 2 × angle PAB = angle PBA. But 2 × angle PAB = angle POB, and 2 × angle PBA = angle POA (angle at centre of a circle is twice the angle at the circumference standing on the same arc). Hence 2 × angle POB = angle POA as required.
Heath comments on how this passage in Pappus is interesting with regard to the Greek development of conics. He writes [1]:-
The passage from Pappus from which this solution is taken is remarkable as being one of three passages in Greek mathematical works still extant ... which refers to the focus-and-directrix property of conics.These constructions described by Pappus show how the Greeks 'improved' their solutions to the problem of trisecting an angle. From a mechanical solution they had progressed to a solution involving conic sections. They could never progress to plane solutions since we know that such are impossible.
The proof of the impossibility had to await the mathematics of the 19th century. The final pieces of the argument were put together by Pierre Wantzel. In 1837 Wantzel published proofs in Liouville's Journal of:-
... the means of ascertaining whether a geometric problem can be solved with ruler and compasses.Gauss had stated that the problems of doubling a cube and trisecting an angle could not be solved with ruler and compasses but he gave no proofs. In this 1837 paper Wantzel was the first to prove these results. Improved proofs were later given by Charles Sturm but he did not publish them.

When the map is relatively small, it takes a few milliseconds to save it, so it's generally ok. But with other, much much bigger maps, it could take several seconds, which is both annoying and hangs the game's networking, and overall leads to many problems.
Threading kind of is the answer, but it creates another problem — while map is being saved, all changes user makes are also being saved, after the save button was pressed (so if the user decides to blow up the map right after pressing Save button, he might be unaware of that it might be saved). So this either calls for user-map interaction block until map saves, or something else entirely.

The Baha'i Faith is the youngest of the world's independent monotheistic religions. Founded in Iran in 1844, it now has more than five million adherents in 236 countries and territories. Baha'is come from nearly every national, ethnic and religious background, making the Baha'i Faith the second-most-widespread religion in the world.
Baha'is view the world's major religions as a part of a single, progressive process through which God reveals His will to humanity. Baha'u'llah (1817-1892), the Founder of the Baha'i Faith, is recognized as the most recent in a line of Divine Messengers that stretches back beyond recorded time and includes Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Zoroaster, Christ and Muhammad.
The central theme of Baha'u'llah's message is that humanity is one single race and that the day has come for humanity's unification into one global society. While reaffirming the core ethical principles common to all religions, Baha'u'llah also revealed new laws and teachings to lay the foundations of a global civilization. "A new life," Baha'u'llah declared, "is, in this age, stirring within all the peoples of the earth."
The worldwide Baha'i community, composed of people from virtually every racial, ethnic and religious background, is working to give practical expression to Baha'u'llah's vision of world unity. We invite you to learn more about the Baha'i Faith and benefit from the spiritual and practical insights found in the Revelation of Baha'u'llah, God's message for humanity in this day.

Virtual Tour from a football perspective
Virtual Tour from a track perspective
About Memorial Field
Facilities include:
Originally built in 1893 and completed in 1923, Memorial Field consists of a football field surrounded by a 400 meter track with throwing areas for the track team. The stadium facilities include concession areas, restrooms, and a pressbox. The stadium is a brick and concrete structure and features black wrought iron fencing that encloses its West Stands. State-of-the-art FieldTurf surface was installed on Memorial Field in 2006. The newest generation FieldTurf surface features reinforced spine monofilament, silica sand, and cryogenic rubber infill that simulates natural grass. In conjunction with construction of Floren Varsity House, the upper tiers (about two-thirds of the 9,500 seats in the East Stands) were removed. The remaining seats in the East Stands have been extended to match the 7,100-seat West Stands. Including temporary end-zone seating, Memorial Field has a seating capacity for about 11,000 spectators.
Memorial Field also includes an extensive track and field facility. The track is named for Dusty Rhodes and is a state of the art eight-lane 400 meter urethane surface. The short side of the track is set up to run both ways in the event of wind. For field events, the facility includes four pits for the long jump and triple jump, a dual runway for the pole vault and an expansive high jump apron. The shot put and discus areas are also inside the stadium. The video scoreboard allows for immediate display of track results and allows timers to work from the press box.

Duality™ - neck 7 strg, Black
Clean passages or blazing leads – the expressive dynamics and headroom of Duality 7 deliver a neck tone that is uniquely suited to 7-string guitars.
7-string players know that balancing clarity and depth are critical to making the most of the extended range of their instrument. Duality's voicing is derived from traditional magnet coils and an Alnico magnet, just like our passive humbuckers, for sweet sustain and rich harmonics – and is paired with an active preamp designed to emphasize and enhance those natural qualities while also delivering the headroom and power actives are known for.
The result is a pickup with strong midrange, punchy and articulate lows and a three-dimensional high end. Powerful and tight enough for metal but open and clear enough for prog, fusion and rock. Chords take on new levels of chunk, and single-note runs are fluid and airy. And unlike traditional active pickups, Duality cleans up nicely and responds to your picking dynamics naturally – meaning it feels as good to play as it sounds.
With the classic good looks and responsive tone of a passive humbucker, and the headroom, clarity and power of an active, Duality™ truly is the best of both worlds.
Duality is made in Santa Barbara, California. Available in 7-string as a set, or individual neck or bridge.

Kanga Kikoy Kitenge
African Fabrics Distribution
Everywhere you go in East Africa, you will see kangas. A kanga is a colourful piece of cotton fabric, normally sold as two matching joined pieces. The kanga is more than a piece of clothing; it marks the rhythm of Swahili life. Each kanga is stamped with a saying, a piece of wisdom; some of them serve as blessings for good fortune, friendship; others as a threat for everyone to see. Kangas are passed down in families, from mother to daughter, until they are rags used to clean the house. Kangas are versatile, useful and uniquely African; worn in various ways, they are perfect for a day at the beach or pool, a picnic in the park; besides, they have many uses in the house and the garden at your own choice.
"Enjoy their versatility!"
Kikoy is a piece of woven cotton fabric. It is usually fringed along the edges and has a simple woven design in coloured stripes. The traditional kikoy, originated in the Horn of Africa, is made from two long hand-woven strips of 60 cm cloth, stitched together to form a long, wide piece. Modern kikoys are made of combed and dyed-in-the-cotton yarn, generally using bright colours to form sometimes dual tone pattern. Kikoys are the traditional wraparound worn by men along the East African coast and inland livestock breeders.
Kitenge is an African garment, typical of the Swahili tradition, used in Tanzania, Kenya, Somalia, as well as in many other African countries where kitenge is worn. Kitenge is a long rectangular piece of cotton fabric, wax-printed. Compared to kanga, its material is thicker and of different design. Kitenges are commonly used for making skirts, dresses, shirts and fittings fabric.
