| The $f$-Chromatic Index of a Graph Whose $f$-Core has Maximum Degree $2$
Akbari, S.; Chavooshi, M.; Ghanbari, M.; Zare, S.
Let $G$ be a graph. The minimum number of colors needed to color the edges of $G$ is called the chromatic index of $G$ and is denoted by $\chi'(G)$. It is well-known that $\Delta(G) \leq \chi'(G) \leq \Delta(G)+1$, for any graph $G$, where $\Delta(G)$ denotes the maximum degree of $G$. A graph $G$ is said to be Class $1$ if $\chi'(G) = \Delta(G)$ and Class $2$ if $\chi'(G) = \Delta(G) + 1$. Also, $G_\Delta$ is the induced subgraph on all vertices of degree $\Delta(G)$. Let $f:V(G)\rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ be a function. An $f$-coloring of a graph $G$ is a coloring of the edges of $E(G)$ such that each color appears at each vertex $v\in V(G)$ at most $f (v)$ times. The minimum number of colors needed to $f$-color $G$ is called the $f$-chromatic index of $G$ and is denoted by $\chi'_{f}(G)$. It was shown that for every graph $G$, $\Delta_{f}(G)\le \chi'_{f}(G)\le \Delta_{f}(G)+1$, where $\Delta_{f}(G)=\max_{v\in V(G)} \big\lceil \frac{d_G(v)}{f(v)}\big\rceil$. A graph $G$ is said to be $f$-Class $1$ if $\chi'_{f}(G)=\Delta_{f}(G)$, and $f$-Class $2$, otherwise. Also, $G_{\Delta_f}$ is the induced subgraph of $G$ on $\{v\in V(G):\,\frac{d_G(v)}{f(v)}=\Delta_{f}(G)\}$. Hilton and Zhao showed that if $G_{\Delta}$ has maximum degree two and $G$ is Class $2$, then $G$ is critical, $G_{\Delta}$ is a disjoint union of cycles and $\delta(G)=\Delta(G)-1$, where $\delta(G)$ denotes the minimum degree of $G$, respectively. In this paper, we generalize this theorem to $f$-coloring of graphs. Also, we determine the $f$-chromatic index of a connected graph $G$ with $|G_{\Delta_f}|\le 4$.
| On Certain Multivariable Subnormal Weighted Shifts and their Duals
Athavale, Ameer; Patil, Pramod
To every subnormal $m$-variable weighted shift $S$ (with bounded positive weights) corresponds a positive Reinhardt measure $\mu$ supported on a compact Reinhardt subset of $\mathbb C^m$. We show that, for $m \geq 2$, the dimensions of the $1$-st cohomology vector spaces associated with the Koszul complexes of $S$ and its dual ${\tilde S}$ are different if a certain radial function happens to be integrable with respect to $\mu$ (which is indeed the case with many classical examples). In particular, $S$ cannot in that case be similar to ${\tilde S}$. We next prove that, for $m \geq 2$, a Fredholm subnormal $m$-variable weighted shift $S$ cannot be similar to its dual.
| Inclusion Relations for New Function Spaces on Riemann Surfaces
Aulaskari, Rauno; Rättyä, Jouni
We introduce and study some new function spaces on Riemann surfaces. For certain parameter values these spaces coincide with the classical Dirichlet space, BMOA or the recently defined $Q_p$ space. We establish inclusion relations that generalize earlier known inclusions between the above-mentioned spaces.
| Hypercyclic Abelian Groups of Affine Maps on $\mathbb{C}^{n}$
Ayadi, Adlene
We give a characterization of hypercyclic abelian group $\mathcal{G}$ of affine maps on $\mathbb{C}^{n}$. If $\mathcal{G}$ is finitely generated, this characterization is explicit. We prove in particular that no abelian group generated by $n$ affine maps on $\mathbb{C}^{n}$ has a dense orbit.
| A Note on Homological Dimensions of Artinian Local Cohomology Modules
Bahmanpour, Kamal
Let $(R,{\frak m})$ be a non-zero commutative Noetherian local ring (with identity), $M$ be a non-zero finitely generated $R$-module. In this paper for any ${\frak p}\in {\rm Spec}(R)$ we show that $ \operatorname{{\rm injdim_{_{R_{\frak p}}}}} H^{i-\dim(R/{\frak p})}_{{\frak p}R_{\frak p}}(M_{\frak p})$ and ${\rm fd}_{R_{\p}} H^{i-\dim(R/{\frak p})}_{{\frak p}R_{\frak p}}(M_{\frak p})$ are bounded from above by $ \operatorname{{\rm injdim_{_{R}}}} H^i_{\frak m}(M)$ and $ {\rm fd}_R H^i_{\frak m}(M)$ respectively, for all integers $i\geq \dim(R/{\frak p})$.
| The Lang--Weil Estimate for Cubic Hypersurfaces
Browning, T. D.
An improved estimate is provided for the number of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational points on a geometrically irreducible, projective, cubic hypersurface that is not equal to a cone.
| Weak Sequential Completeness of $\mathcal K(X,Y)$
Bu, Qingying
For Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$, we show that if $X^\ast$ and $Y$ are weakly sequentially complete and every weakly compact operator from $X$ to $Y$ is compact then the space of all compact operators from $X$ to $Y$ is weakly sequentially complete. The converse is also true if, in addition, either $X^\ast$ or $Y$ has the bounded compact approximation property.
| Linear Forms in Monic Integer Polynomials
Dubickas, Artūras
We prove a necessary and sufficient condition on the list of nonzero integers $u_1,\dots,u_k$, $k \geq 2$, under which a monic polynomial $f \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ is expressible by a linear form $u_1f_1+\dots+u_kf_k$ in monic polynomials $f_1,\dots,f_k \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$. This condition is independent of $f$. We also show that if this condition holds, then the monic polynomials $f_1,\dots,f_k$ can be chosen to be irreducible in $\mathbb{Z}[x]$.
| Equivariant Forms: Structure and Geometry
Elbasraoui, Abdelkrim; Sebbar, Abdellah
In this paper we study the notion of equivariant forms introduced in the authors' previous works. In particular, we completely classify all the equivariant forms for a subgroup of $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ by means of the cross-ratio, the weight 2 modular forms, the quasimodular forms, as well as differential forms of a Riemann surface and sections of a canonical line bundle.
| A Cohomological Property of $\pi$-invariant Elements
Filali, M.; Monfared, M. Sangani
Let $A$ be a Banach algebra and $\pi \colon A \longrightarrow \mathscr L(H)$ be a continuous representation of $A$ on a separable Hilbert space $H$ with $\dim H =\frak m$. Let $\pi_{ij}$ be the coordinate functions of $\pi$ with respect to an orthonormal basis and suppose that for each $1\le j \le \frak m$, $C_j=\sum_{i=1}^{\frak m} \|\pi_{ij}\|_{A^*}\lt \infty$ and $\sup_j C_j\lt \infty$. Under these conditions, we call an element $\overline\Phi \in l^\infty (\frak m , A^{**})$ left $\pi$-invariant if $a\cdot \overline\Phi ={}^t\pi (a) \overline\Phi$ for all $a\in A$. In this paper we prove a link between the existence of left $\pi$-invariant elements and the vanishing of certain Hochschild cohomology groups of $A$. Our results extend an earlier result by Lau on $F$-algebras and recent results of Kaniuth-Lau-Pym and the second named author in the special case that $\pi \colon A \longrightarrow \mathbf C$ is a non-zero character on $A$.
| Universally Overconvergent Power Series via the Riemann Zeta-function
Gauthier, P. M.
The Riemann zeta-function is employed to generate universally overconvergent power series.
| Real Dimension Groups
Handelman, David
Dimension groups (not countable) that are also real ordered vector spaces can be obtained as direct limits (over directed sets) of simplicial real vector spaces (finite dimensional vector spaces with the coordinatewise ordering), but the directed set is not as interesting as one would like, i.e., it is not true that a countable-dimensional real vector space that has interpolation can be represented as such a direct limit over the a countable directed set. It turns out this is the case when the group is additionally simple, and it is shown that the latter have an ordered tensor product decomposition. In the Appendix, we provide a huge class of polynomial rings that, with a pointwise ordering, are shown to satisfy interpolation, extending a result outlined by Fuchs.
| Ziegler's Indecomposability Criterion
Herzog, Ivo
Ziegler's Indecomposability Criterion is used to prove that a totally transcendental, i.e., $\Sigma$-pure injective, indecomposable left module over a left noetherian ring is a directed union of finitely generated indecomposable modules. The same criterion is also used to give a sufficient condition for a pure injective indecomposable module ${_R}U$ to have an indecomposable local dual $U_R^{\sharp}.$
| Conjugacy Classes and Binary Quadratic Forms for the Hecke Groups
Hoang, Giabao; Ressler, Wendell
In this paper we give a lower bound with respect to block length for the trace of non-elliptic conjugacy classes of the Hecke groups. One consequence of our bound is that there are finitely many conjugacy classes of a given trace in any Hecke group. We show that another consequence of our bound is that class numbers are finite for related hyperbolic \( \mathbb{Z}[\lambda] \)-binary quadratic forms. We give canonical class representatives and calculate class numbers for some classes of hyperbolic \( \mathbb{Z}[\lambda] \)-binary quadratic forms.
| On Automorphisms and Commutativity in Semiprime Rings
Liau, Pao-Kuei; Liu, Cheng-Kai
Let $R$ be a semiprime ring with center $Z(R)$. For $x,y\in R$, we denote by $[x,y]=xy-yx$ the commutator of $x$ and $y$. If $\sigma$ is a non-identity automorphism of $R$ such that $$ \Big[\big[\dots\big[[\sigma(x^{n_0}),x^{n_1}],x^{n_2}\big],\dots\big],x^{n_k}\Big]=0 $$ for all $x \in R$, where $n_{0},n_{1},n_{2},\dots,n_{k}$ are fixed positive integers, then there exists a map $\mu\colon R\rightarrow Z(R)$ such that $\sigma(x)=x+\mu(x)$ for all $x\in R$. In particular, when $R$ is a prime ring, $R$ is commutative.
| On the $p$-norm of an Integral Operator in the Half Plane
Liu, Congwen; Zhou, Lifang
We give a partial answer to a conjecture of Dostanić on the determination of the norm of a class of integral operators induced by the weighted Bergman projection in the upper half plane.
| Resultants of Chebyshev Polynomials: A Short Proof
Louboutin, Stéphane R.
We give a simple proof of the value of the resultant of two Chebyshev polynomials (of the first or the second kind), values lately obtained by D. P. Jacobs, M. O. Rayes and V. Trevisan.
| Characterization of Simple Highest Weight Modules
Mazorchuk, Volodymyr; Zhao, Kaiming
We prove that for simple complex finite dimensional Lie algebras, affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras, the Virasoro algebra and the Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra, simple highest weight modules are characterized by the property that all positive root elements act on these modules locally nilpotently. We also show that this is not the case for higher rank Virasoro and for Heisenberg algebras.
| Randers Metrics of Constant Scalar Curvature
Sevim, Esra Sengelen; Shen, Zhongmin
Randers metrics are a special class of Finsler metrics. Every Randers metric can be expressed in terms of a Riemannian metric and a vector field via Zermelo navigation. In this paper, we show that a Randers metric has constant scalar curvature if the Riemannian metric has constant scalar curvature and the vector field is homothetic.
| Optimal Control Strategies for Virus Spreading in Inhomogeneous Epidemic Dynamics
Shang, Yilun
In this paper, we study the spread of virus/worm in computer networks with a view to addressing cyber security problems. Epidemic models have been applied extensively to model the propagation of computer viruses, which characterize the fact that infected machines may spread malware to other hosts connected to the network. In our framework, the dynamics of hosts evolves according to a modified inhomogeneous Susceptible-Infectious-Susceptible (SIS) epidemic model with time-varying transmission rate and recovery rate. The infection of computers is subject to direct attack as well as propagation among hosts. Based on optimal control theory, optimal attack strategies are provided by minimizing the cost (equivalently maximizing the profit) of the attacker. We present a threshold function of the fraction of infectious hosts, which captures the dynamically evolving strategies of the attacker and reflects the persistence of virus spreading. Moreover, our results indicate that if the infectivity of a computer worm is low and the computers are installed with antivirus software with high reliability, the intensity of attacks incurred will likely be low. This agrees with our intuition.
| Inverse Semigroups and Sheu's Groupoid for the Odd Dimensional Quantum Spheres
Sundar, S.
In this paper, we give a different proof of the fact that the odd dimensional quantum spheres are groupoid $C^{*}$-algebras. We show that the $C^{*}$-algebra $C(S_{q}^{2\ell+1})$ is generated by an inverse semigroup $T$ of partial isometries. We show that the groupoid $\mathcal{G}_{tight}$ associated with the inverse semigroup $T$ by Exel is exactly the same as the groupoid considered by Sheu.
| Regulator Indecomposable Cycles on a Product of Elliptic Curves
Türkmen, İnan Utku
We provide a novel proof of the existence of regulator indecomposables in the cycle group $CH^2(X,1)$, where $X$ is a sufficiently general product of two elliptic curves. In particular, the nature of our proof provides an illustration of Beilinson rigidity.
| On Induced Representations Distinguished by Orthogonal Groups
Valverde, Cesar
Let $F$ be a local non-archimedean field of characteristic zero. We prove that a representation of $GL(n,F)$ obtained from irreducible parabolic induction of supercuspidal representations is distinguished by an orthogonal group only if the inducing data is distinguished by appropriate orthogonal groups. As a corollary, we get that an irreducible representation induced from supercuspidals that is distinguished by an orthogonal group is metic.
| Asymptotics and Uniqueness of Travelling Waves for Non-Monotone Delayed Systems on 2D Lattices
Yu, Zhi-Xian; Mei, Ming
We establish asymptotics and uniqueness (up to translation) of travelling waves for delayed 2D lattice equations with non-monotone birth functions. First, with the help of Ikehara's Theorem, the a priori asymptotic behavior of travelling wave is exactly derived. Then, based on the obtained asymptotic behavior, the uniqueness of the traveling waves is proved. These results complement earlier results in the literature.

This is a significantly longer version of an article I wrote on Akiva Goldsman that ran Sunday in the Los Angeles Times Calendar section. Goldsman is one of the busiest Hollywood figures in comics and sci-fi projects with four adaptations coming based on DC characters and his new role as a key figure for the Fox series "Fringe." He's also a figure of controversy for fans who have not forgotten the sight of a Bat-suit with nipples.
Akiva Goldsman arrived at the door of producer Brian Grazer in 1998 with one purpose. "I went there," the screenwriter says, "to beg."
Goldsman, who had enjoyed a steady ascension in Hollywood for years, was coming off a string of films that had badly battered his reputation. He had produced and written the forgettable dud "Lost in Space" — and far worse, he had written the screenplay that would become the 1997 bomb "Batman & Robin," one of the most savagely disliked movies of the decade.
Given that history of burnt popcorn, Goldsman seemed like the least qualified writer in Hollywood to take on the task of adapting Sylvia Nasar's "A Beautiful Mind" for the screen, but that's the job he sought when he visited Grazer at the offices of Imagine Films. Shockingly, he got the gig, and the eventual film, about physicist John Nash and his slippery hold on reality, would win four Academy Awards, including best adapted screenplay for Goldsman, best director for Ron Howard and best picture.
"It was a profound experience for all of us involved," Goldsman recently recalled. "And I cannot overestimate what it meant for my career at that point."
The breakthrough put Goldsman in a lofty strata in Hollywood, and his screenwriting credits would include blockbusters such as "The Da Vinci Code," "Angels & Demons," "I Am Legend" and "I, Robot." And now, a decade after seeking a bit of largesse from Grazer, Goldsman is undertaking a new career path behind the camera.
He recently directed the season premiere of the Fox series "Fringe" and is now lining up his feature-film directorial debut. And despite having written what is perhaps the most reviled comic-book movie adaptation of all time, he's aggressively pursuing his childhood love of superheroes as the producer of five movies based on Marvel or DC comic books, including the Guy Ritchie adaptaion of "Lobo," the popular anti-hero show in the image on the right.
On closer inspection, comic-book fantasy and dark psychology are the touchstone themes of Goldsman's career. It's a tandem that might make a therapist smirk or reach for their notepad, and the same goes for the 47-year-old's memories of his childhood. The writer is the son of child psychologists Mira Rothenberg and Tev Goldsman, and the nature of his youth was a key reason that Grazer used the writer for "A Beautiful Mind."
"I grew up, essentially, in one of the very first group homes for what was then termed as 'emotionally disturbed children' — these were days when, unimaginably, childhood schizophrenia and autism were lumped together in the same population," Goldsman said. "My parents founded this home, and I grew up there in this brownstone in Brooklyn Heights and my peers were, um, crazy. My definition of sanity is very labile; it's flexible and open."
Young Goldsman also lost himself in the tales of Batman, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, the Legion of Super-Heroes and all the other gaudy champions who inhabit the wildly intricate mythos of Marvel and DC. He sees his revisitation to his youthful concerns as a common experience in Hollywood. "I think we're all trying to make sense of what happened [in our childhoods] and that's what's startling — in getting the chance to make stuff, sometimes, when everything is supended correctly, it feels like it makes sense."
These days, his office at the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank is dotted with comic-book art, superhero statues, sci-fi imagery — pop-culture signifiers that once would have been viewed as juvenilia but now are as proudly prevalent in Hollywood work spaces as Hitchcock posters and espresso machines.
On a recent afternoon, Goldsman gleefully showed off a personalized drawing that had been given to him years ago by the late Bob Kane, co-creator of Batman, and then debated the finer points of "Days of Future Past," a landmark two-issue X-Men comic-book story from 1981.
None of that, though, changes the fact that Goldsman might be booed off the stage if he were introduced at a comic-book convention. "Batman & Robin," the bloated 1997 movie directed by Joel Schumacher and starring George Clooney and Arnold Schwarzenegger, certainly possesses an odious place in Hollywood history. Times critic Kenneth Turan said the Goldsman script had the "eerie feeling of having no beginning, no middle and no end." That was on the gentle end of the reaction; Goldsman and Schumacher actually received death threats, which suggests that there are a lot of people in the world who take their funny books seriously.
A few months ago, Kevin Feige, the president of production at Marvel Studios, said that "Batman & Robin" was more than a mere failure. "That may be the most important comic-book movie ever made," said Feige, whose studio is now at work on "Iron Man 2" and "Thor." "It was so bad that it demanded a new way of doing things. It created the opportunity to do 'X-Men' and 'Spider-Man,' adaptations that respected the source material and adaptations that were not campy."
Goldsman won't exactly apologize for the film, but he comes pretty close. He said he is proud of the effort put into it and weary of the conversations about its merit. He did learn a lesson from the film. "What got lost in 'Batman & Robin' is the emotions aren't real," Goldsman said, picking his words carefully. "The worst thing to do with a serious comic book is to make it a cartoon. I'm still answering for that movie with some people."
He said honoring the source material is the guiding concept for the projects he has in the pipeline now. Filming recently wrapped on his Warner Bros. project "Jonah Hex," which stars Josh Brolin as the bitter and scarred Old West antihero from DC Comics that dates to the 1970s.
"He's a character that has been described as having one foot on Earth and one foot beyond the grave, that he speaks to the dead . . . at the same time he is very much [like Sergio Leone's] 'The Man With No Name.' "
"Hex," now in post-production, is being directed by Jimmy Hayward, who is following up his very different directorial debut, last year's "Horton Hears a Who." John Malkovich plays the villain, an evil preacher, while Megan Fox and Will Arnett also star.
After that is a commando film called "The Losers," also a DC adaptation, about a team of CIA operatives who are unwittingly sent on a suicide mission but survive and return to face their superiors.
The film stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan — who got strong reviews for his black-ops and black-hearted role in "Watchmen" — as well as Zoe Saldana and Jason Patric and is due in April of next year.
There's also "Lobo," a blue- and gray-skinned, super-powered alien who has a bad attitude and delights in mayhem; the character, for the uninitiated, looks like a buffed-out, biker version of Beetlejuice and acts like a bar-fighting big cousin of the extraterrestrial scamp from "Lilo and Stitch." There's also some common ground with the hero-behaving-badly tale of "Hancock," which Goldsman produced.
"Lobo" is being directed by Guy Ritchie, which sounds like an odd fit — he's rarely succeeded in stories that go past London and this one would take him off-planet — but Goldsman says he's thrilled with the fit.
"There's something hyperbolic and authentic about a Guy Ritchie movie. His best movie are deeply, deeply stylized yet they are all grounded; there's a grit of stylization, which sounds like an oxymoron but it makes perfect sense when you've seen his films."
Goldsman added: "We've never seen Guy's sensibility married to a project with such a large special effects budget. "
Goldsman said Ritchie will shoot a test scene in November — "We've got the character design pretty much done," Goldsman said, "and the test will get us moving forward to the next step" — and casting will be decided after that.
Then there's "Swamp Thing," which Goldsman said will be closer in tone to the character as presented in Alan Moore's eerie, metaphysical horror comics than the rubber-suit bog creature from the 1982 Wes Craven B-movie.
"We want a film with real Southern, dark horror overtones, a little bit like a classic Universal horror film," Goldsman said, knowing full well that his presence on the project will stir controversy — it's a character that filmmaker Guillermo del Toro has called one of the "few remaining Holy Grails" in comics. There's also also talk of a Fantastic Four reboot, which has been met, no surprise, with sharply different reactions.
Vestiges of fan vitriol remain on the Internet for Goldsman, but in Hollywood his reputation is stellar. J.J. Abrams has brought him into the fold on "Fringe" as a key story collaborator, and Howard has now directed four films with Goldsman as screenwriter.
Howard said he has been "prodding" Goldsman to direct since watching the writer work with Russell Crowe and others on the set of "A Beautiful Mind."
"There have been many screenwriters who moved into directing with varying degrees of success, but it's not an automatic path," Howard said. "Screenwriters have, of course, a great sense of story and the nuances trying to being achieved, but they shield themselves from the practical matters of getting that story told on film. None of that is a problem for Akiva. He's comfortable having conversations with actors and collaborating."
Goldsman puts a premium on his affinity for teamwork and rattles off all the lessons he's learned from collaborators, such as Howard's open and supportive style, Peter Weir's devotion to authenticity, Will Smith's relentless optimism.
Goldsman got his start late in Hollywood. He had graduated from Wesleyan in 1983 and worked in the mental health field carrying the family tradition of sorts, but he found he was gripped more by flights of imagination than clinical challenges. He studied creative at New York University but novel writing defied him. He became an avid disciple of screenwriting guru John McKee's approaches and had a breakthrough with his 1994 adaptation of John Grisham's novel "The Client."
His own literary beacons won't impress anyone with art-house sensibilities — he talks with wonder about Stephen King's "ability to understand the emotional architecture of our imagination" — but his populist tastes, skill with story and that old comic-book collection make him a man for the moment in Hollywood. He's now looking for a feature film to direct, and it may end up being a screen version of his favorite novel, "Winter's Tale," Mark Helprin's 1983 fantasy about an alternate-history New York, a thief and flying white horse.
It's yet another new chapter in the career of a man who has specialized in playing well with others in an asylum setting. "I'm very scared of many things, but drop me into world of people raging with schizophrenia and I feel perfectly at home," Goldsman deadpanned. "And I love Hollywood. Go figure."

Read a version of this story in Arabic.
(CNN) -- A soldier missing in action since a failed attempt to rescue a French hostage in Somalia is most likely dead, France's defense minister said Monday.
The hostage, Denis Allex, also apparently was killed, Defense Minister Jean-Yves le Drian said.
French officials had previously confirmed that one soldier died in Friday's failed attempt to rescue Allex from Islamist militants. On Monday, le Drian said it was likely that a total of two French soldiers were killed.
"Everything points to the fact that the hostage was murdered and that the missing soldier has been killed," le Drian told CNN affiliate BFM.
Al-Shabaab, the al Qaeda-affiliated Islamist movement that has been holding Allex, said Monday that the hostage remained alive in an undisclosed location.
The militants also said Monday that a French soldier who had been injured in the attempted rescue had died of his wounds.
A Twitter post from Al-Shabaab on Monday showed a purported photograph of that soldier with a message to France's president: "Was it worth it?"
On Friday, French forces engaged in a fierce gunbattle with militants in their attempt to rescue Allex, who was a member of the DGSE, France's equivalent of the CIA and a part of its Defense Ministry.
The clashes in Bulo Marer, about 75 miles (120 kilometers) northwest of Mogadishu, the capital, ended with 17 Islamist fighters dead, according to the French Defense Ministry.
On Monday, le Drian said the failure of the rescue mission was "extremely regrettable."
"The operation almost succeeded," he told BFM. "They are very complicated and risky missions, because we are behind enemy lines."
French bid to rescue hostage fails
Allex was abducted on July 14, 2009, while on a mission in Mogadishu in support of the transitional Somali government, the French Defense Ministry said. French media reports suggest that Denis Allex is a pseudonym for the military serviceman.
French officials said they launched the rescue attempt after the terror group failed to negotiate for the hostage's release for years while holding him in inhumane conditions.
CNN's Nima Elbagir, Dheepthi Namasivayam and Richard A. Greene and journalist Omar Sheikh Nor contributed to this report.

A former teacher at one of Doncaster's biggest schools committed a string of sexual offences against a teenage girl after grooming her over social media, a court heard.
Paul Worrall, aged 31, has gone on trial accused of a number of offences including sexual activity with a girl aged under 16, and attempted rape.
Worrall was a history teacher at the time he is alleged to have carried out the offences, on the same girl.
She cannot be identified for legal reasons.
The offences are said to have taken place between 2011 and 2013.
David Hall, prosecuting, told Sheffield Crown Court that Worrall 'groomed' the girl through a number of interactions, some of which took place on social media.
Mr Hall told the court Worrall had admitted to encouraging the girl, who was under 16 when the relationship began, to participate in sexual activity over Facebook.
He said: "On examination of Facebook accounts he had been encouraging her to engage in sexual activity."
Mr Hall said the pair eventually had 'consensual intercourse' once she was 16.
The court heard Worrall has admitted at an earlier hearing having consensual sex and sexually touching the girl when she was 16. He denies sexual activity with a girl under 16, and attempted rape.
In interview, the girl said the relationship began with Worrall complimenting her, which later led to him expressing his explicit sexual fantasies.
The teenager admitted being attracted to the defendant initially, but added she had been 'scared' by him, and said there had been unwanted sexual touching and advances from Worrall.
She admitted she had replicated the sexual language used by Worrall, over Facebook and via text messages, because she was in fear of him 'getting angry' with her, and knew how 'strong' he was.
Worrall attempted to get the girl to visit him in his home, then in Leeds, while he had a 'free house' - due to his girlfriend at the time, who he lived with, being away for the night.
The girl said Worrall offered to pay her train fare to Leeds, and grew angry when she refused.
The court heard the attempted rape took place when she was under 16.
South Yorkshire Police became aware of the relationship after the girl's messages from Worrall were discovered by her sister and were then reported, the court heard.
The court was told Worrall, now of Oldham, Lancashire, was arrested in August last year.
The trial continues.

5.8 Earthquake Felt At Oxnard!
I just heard on 103.3 ESPN radio that there was a pretty huge earthquake felt at the Cowboys Training Camp. Reports are saying there were no injuries reported thus far, but some are shaking up from the ordeal.
I myself believe this Quake is due to the massive amount of weight from the offensive and defensive line. 🙂
Cowboys are letting the L.A. area know they are there!

I'm gonna switch gears this week. I'm sure everyone has been keeping up to date with all the things going on in Training Camp – the injuries, whose getting the best of who, and how the newbies are doing.
I have lingering issues on a few key topics that have been put on the back burner due to the excitement of TC. I would like for you, the masses, to chime in on these issues and give your opinion with mine.
My first issue is this ongoing speculation that Jason Garrett will be replacing Phillips after this season regardless of a Super Bowl win.
Some are reporting that Phillips is the head coach for the primary fact of getting Garrett ready to launch.
Others report that if he wins a playoff game then he will stay.
I can understand that reporters will throw anything out there to have a story to write about, but MAN! This has got to weigh heavy on Phillip's mind.
I can see these things coming up like over halfway through the season if there losing, but at least give the man a chance to redeem himself.
These things should not even be brought up this early into Training Camp.
Some people look at the coaching staff and assume that the moves that were made were made around Garrett. Wade didn't bring them in. So therefore Wade is gone after this year. It's got me puzzled.
I feel that the players have a good chemistry with Phillips. I haven't seen nor heard of any ill will toward him at all!
Maybe this is the way to win a Super Bowl. Hold the coaches job over his head and he will produce. Hey It worked for the Giants!
Let me know your thoughts and opinions on this issue. Could it Happen? Could it Not?

As the agronomic and political impacts of the nation's growing drought came into clearer focus this week, House Republican leaders shifted course toward possible consideration of a one-year extension of current farm programs.
At a House Agriculture Committee Members meeting Wednesday, Committee Chairman Frank Lucas (R-Okla.) pitched the idea, which would also include an extension of disaster relief programs, especially vital for livestock producers who cannot buy crop insurance and do not participate in Title I.
By Thursday, Republican leaders were whipping votes and planning for floor consideration next week, the last week before the month-long August recess.
Lucas, who has the unenviable job of convincing his leadership to bring any farm legislation to the floor, told members of the press at mid-week that an extension was possible and even logical with drought effects worsening by the day.
His Democratic counterpart, Ranking Member Collin Peterson, and Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), first voiced opposition to an extension. However, if Stabenow seeks to move a bill to conference committee following a successful House vote, the way could be paved for Congress to pass a full farm bill before current law expires on Sept. 30.
Questions about the potential plan abound. It's not yet clear how direct payments, which were eliminated in both House Committee- and Senate-passed versions of the bill, will be treated under a possible extension.
The effect of an extension on the law's baseline — which has already been reduced dramatically in recent years and could take another hit with coming sequestration cuts in 2013 — is unknown.
Another concern is how Members in both chambers will react to a hopeful but unconventional path toward farm bill passage. NAWG's priority continues to be achievement of a new, five-year farm bill before current law expires this fall.
A short-term extension doesn't give farmers the certainty that they need and would likely not incorporate reforms that have been essential to gaining support for new farm and food policy in both chambers.
NAWG will continue to closely follow the process and report to members as appropriate.

Lenawee Christian scores 74 points in win over North Adams
The Division 6 No. 4-ranked Clinton High School football team clinched at least a share of the Tri-County Conference title with a 37-14 win over Summerfield on Friday night. It marked Clinton's third TCC title since joining the conference in 2007.
The Clinton (8-0, 6-0 TCC) defense recorded four interceptions and a safety.
The Redskins scored 16 points in the second quarter. With just under six minutes on the clock, TJ Baker connected with Cullen Zimmerman on a 25 yard touchdown pass. A little over a minute later, the Redskin defense recorded a safety, adding two points and getting the ball back. The Redskins made the most of the opportunity when Baker found Matt Sexton for a 34-yard touchdown pass to give Clinton a 16-7 lead at halftime.
Clinton dominated the fourth quarter and put up 21 unanswered points. Baker, who went 5-for-8 for 92 yards and two scores, ran in it from 10 yards out. Zimmerman then picked off a Summerfield pass, his second interception of the night, and took it back 35 yards for a score.
Baker led all rushers with 85 yards on 14 carries. Collin Poore finished with 65 yards on the ground for the Redskins.
Clinton looks for the outright TCC title next week against Sand Creek.
Lenawee Christian 74, North Adams-Jerome 35: At Adrian, the Cougars totaled 675 yards of total offense (438 on the ground) in Friday's Southern Central Athletic Association game.
Grant Hohlbein got the Cougars off to a good start scoring all three touchdowns in the first quarter including a pass from Jalen Porter at 9:36. Porter kicked the extra point as he went 8-for-11 through the air. The Rams scored a touchdown by Eric McCormick at the 5:48 mark.
Lenawee Christian came out with a strong shutout in the second quarter with touchdowns by Hohlbein and Ron Whitman. Going into the half the Cougars had built a 41-7 lead.
The third quarter saw a lot of scoring action including four touchdowns from both teams. Whitman scored two touchdowns for the Cougars along with a touchdown by Austin Eagan and one by Harrah with six seconds left in the quarter. Michael Dunn scored the final touchdown for Lenawee Christian at 9:09 in the fourth.
Porter passed for 237 yards and went 10-for-15 with two touchdown passes. Whitman had seven catches and 135 yards rushing. Harrah had two catches and 102 yards receiving for the Cougars (2-3 SCAA, 3-5 overall).
LCS rounds out its season next weekend against Camden-Frontier.
Addison 22, East Jackson 14: The host Panthers won their 21st straight games against East Jackson with the key touchdown being Trevor Maynard's 1-yard run in the third quarter to tie the game at 14-14, with the TD run culminating a 98-yard drive after Maynard intercepted a pass on the Addison 2-yard line.
Senior Jared Bruner gave the Panthers a 6-0 lead in the second quarter when he broke free for a 33-yard TD run just over a minute into the quarter. However, East Jackson would score the next two touchdowns.
Midway through the third quarter, Maynard made his interception, and the Panthers would begin their 98-yard drive to tie the game on Maynard's short run. Bruner then scored just into the fourth quarter on an 8-yard run and he added the two-point conversion on a run. He finished the night with a whopping 253 yards on 42 carries.
The Addison defense limited the Trojans to just 26 rushing attempts, resulting in just eight yards.
Both teams are 2-5 in the Cascades Conference and 2-6 overall entering the final week of the regular season.
Whitmore Lake 28, Madison 13: At Madison Twp., the host Trojans couldn't have had a much better start to their TCC game against Whitmore Lake as they took a 13-0 lead in the first quarter, but Whitmore Lake began a methodical comeback and posted the win.
Zach Fisher and Jake Hamilton scored on short runs in the first quarter to push Madison (1-5 TCC, 3-5 overall) to its early 13-0 lead.
However, Whitmore Lake scored a TD in the second quarter and then took a 14-13 lead. Whitmore Lake was able to seal the win with a pair of scores in the final quarter.
Madison outrushed Whitmore Lake (2-4, 2-6) by a 187-120 count. Collin Slates and Jake Hamilton led Madison's ground game with 78 and 68 yards, respectively.
Madison finishes its season next Friday against TCC foe Whiteford.
Dundee 35, Hudson 17: At Dundee, the Tigers couldn't overcome four turnovers in a loss to Lenawee County Athletic Association opponent Dundee on Friday night.
Dundee took a 21-0 lead in the second quarter. Hudson (4-3, 3-3 LCAA) scored two touchdowns in the final minute of the half. The first was a 7-yard pass to Jacob Morgan from Alex Messer, and the second was a 2-yard run from Morgan with 10 seconds left on the clock.Dundee's Dylan Grantham who returned the ensuing kickoff 83 yards for a touchdown.
The Tigers offense could only manage a field goal in the second half.
JD Waters led the Tigers with 131 rushing yards on 17 carries. Kameron Bellfy was the leading tackler for Hudson with 11.
Whiteford 30, Morenci 0: At Morenci, the Bulldogs suffered their fourth straight loss in Friday's TCC game against Division 7 No. 8-ranked Whiteford.
Hayze Wolf and Ryan Amos each rushed for 45 yards for Morenci (3-5, 1-5 TCC). Wolf finished with 19 tackles.
Morenci will face TCC foe Britton Deerfield next Friday.

|Blue Jays | Rafael Soriano retiring
Thu, 17 Mar 2016 21:09:46 -0700
Toronto Blue Jays RP Rafael Soriano is planning to announce his retirement.
Fantasy Tip: Soriano was trying to carve out a role in the bullpen, and his retirement makes Roberto Osuna the reliever to stash in case Drew Storen can't handle closing duties.

|Blue Jays | Toronto signs Rafael Soriano
Sun, 28 Feb 2016 13:31:14 -0800
Free-agent RP Rafael Soriano (Cubs) has agreed to terms with the Toronto Blue Jays and will make $750,000 if he is on the major league roster.
Fantasy Tip: Keep an eye on the battle for the closer in Toronto. It is likely Drew Storen will win this job, but if Soriano moves into the battle then things could get interesting. Otherwise, leagues with relief pitching will obviously benefit from Soriano's presence.

|Yankees | Rafael Soriano drawing NY interest
Fri, 11 Dec 2015 00:26:04 -0800
Free-agent RP Rafael Soriano (Cubs) is drawing attention from one of his former teams, the New York Yankees.
Fantasy Tip: Soriano lost a lot of his fantasy value with the shoulder troubles he had over the past year. Unless he closes games for them, which is not likely, Soriano should not even be on your radar screen.

|Cubs | Rafael Soriano working his way back
Fri, 14 Aug 2015 11:49:13 -0700
Chicago Cubs RP Rafael Soriano (shoulder) is close to pitching simulated games and will need a rehab assignment before returning to the Cubs.
Fantasy Tip: Soriano is unlikely to receive a sniff at save situations again this season, so he is not worth a roster spot in the majority of seasonal leagues. A lot would have to go wrong with the Chicago bullpen for him to be a factor. In cavernous mixed and NL-only leagues, Soriano might be able to help again in 2015. Continue to check back for updates.

|Cubs | Rafael Soriano placed on disabled list
Wed, 05 Aug 2015 14:49:39 -0700
Chicago Cubs RP Rafael Soriano (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday, Aug. 5, with right shoulder inflammation.
Fantasy Tip: Soriano's seasonal value is likely gone with this trip to the disabled list, and he can be dropped in all seasonal leagues. After all, he allowed four earned runs over 5 2/3 innings during his brief stint with the Cubs, and it would take a slew of injuries or misfortunes for Soriano to return to save opportunities.

|Cubs | Rafael Soriano coming aboard
Mon, 20 Jul 2015 07:14:35 -0700
Chicago Cubs RP Rafael Soriano will be called up Monday, July 20, from Class AAA Iowa. SP Edwin Jackson was designated for assignment. Jackson is in the third year of a four-year, $52 million contract.
Fantasy Tip: Soriano could figure into the closing mix soon and is worth grabbing in NL-only leagues and watching in mixed leagues.

|Cubs | Rafael Soriano due up soon
Fri, 17 Jul 2015 09:20:23 -0700
Chicago Cubs RP Rafael Soriano is expected to come up from the minors soon because his opt-out date was around the All-Star break.
Fantasy Tip: Soriano could fit into the closing mix soon as Hector Rondon, Pedro Strop and Jason Motte have been mixed and matched. Keep him on your watch list in mixed leagues.

|Cubs | Rafael Soriano jumps up to Class AAA
Thu, 16 Jul 2015 14:56:35 -0700
Chicago Cubs RP Rafael Soriano was promoted from Class AA Tennessee to Class AAA Iowa Thursday, July 16.
Fantasy Tip: Over five appearances with Tennessee, Soriano allowed one unearned run on three hits and three walks while striking out four batters over five innings. He checks out as a desperation source of saves in all formats, and he could soon join the Chicago bullpen. Manager Joe Maddon had been mixing and matching late in games, but it appears Jason Motte has grabbed the ninth inning for now.

|Cubs | Rafael Soriano moves to Class AA
Mon, 06 Jul 2015 14:42:45 -0700
Chicago Cubs RP Rafael Soriano is reporting to Class AA Tennessee Monday, July 6, in the next step towards joining the Chicago bullpen.
Fantasy Tip: Soriano is a desperation saves stash in cavernous mixed and NL-only leagues. Though, of late, the Cubs bullpen has been lights out, and there is no guarantee Soriano will even receive a sniff at saves. Jason Motte looks the part with a 0.53 ERA and 13 strikeouts with just 11 base runners allowed through 17 innings over his past 20 appearances.

|Cubs | Rafael Soriano to report to Mesa
Fri, 03 Jul 2015 17:31:13 -0700
Chicago Cubs RP Rafael Soriano is expected to join one of the club's minor league affiliates following a short stay at the team's spring training complex in Mesa, Ariz. He had been in the Dominican Republic due to immigration issues but team president Theo Epstein said those problems are now behind him.
Fantasy Tip: Soriano could be of interest to owners who need saves in NL-only and deep mixed leagues, although there is no guarantee he will close games when he gets promoted. He is unlikely to pitch at the major league level before the All-Star break.

Alan Weeks is a very good social historian of the First World War on the Western Front. Having already reviewed his look at the Wipers Times, I have been looking forward a great to getting my hands on this book. First off, its a pleasure to read a book that isn't big enough to sink the Bismarck! Given the book's topic thats quite appropriate – wouldn't it be ironic to read a book about Tommy hunour that was so big and wieldy that it could sink the Bismarck!
There are some fantastic stories here. Weeks has looked at virtually every aspect of humour at war, including general cheerfulness, comedy, officer-men relations, attitudes to commanders, pantomimes, humorous incidents, sex, weather, lice, rats, letters, songs, drinking, animals and the live-and-let-live system. This wide range of subjects gives us an indication of just how prevalent humour could be throughout life. It's not difficult to imagine that humour actually made bearable what was quite a grim life. Humour could not win the war on its own, nor could it take away from the grievous casualties. But would the western front have been tougher without some light moments? Almost certainly.
There has always been something about the British Tommy that finds dry humour in even the most miserable of circumstances. And given the British military's propensity for finding itself in miserable circumstances, this is no doubt a very useful trait. Its something that filters through to British society in general – dry British wit, as evinced by the archetypal Butler, has even been referenced in the Simpsons, of all places. I've read of examples of 'Tommy humour' during the Napoleonic Wars, which is appropriate given that the name 'Tommy Atkins' originates from this time.
This is a very important addition to the historiography of the western front – Alan Weeks must have spent years compiling these anecdotes. I won't even begin to cover them all, but heres a few tasty morsels for you all:
Two of Private Webb's comrades were killed by a grenade. An officer enquired as to what had happened… Private Webb was a good cricketer. 'Blimey, whats happened sir', he responded cheerfully, 'is one over, two bowled'. Then he glanced down at the mess where he once had a leg. 'And I'm stumped sir'.
One Sunday morning, Corps Command instructed Thorp to aim at four targets in quick succession. He chose Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
The 6/Connaught Rangers were carefully coached before the arrival of a General to inspect them… they were particularly instructed on what their precise function in the Battalion was. The General asked one Ranger, 'are you a Catholic?', to which the man replied, 'no sir, I'm a Rifleman'.
In front of the MO, one sapper was asked 'have you been circumcised?', to which he replied, 'Oh no sir, thats just fair wear and tear'.
'French girls are nice to sleep with, but not as good as you my wife. I miss you very much'.

"Techmanitarians" Being Honored at The Tech Awards Nov. 15, to Participate in Business-Building Workshops at Santa Clara University
Deborah Lohse
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 13, 2012— Each year, nearly four million newborn babies never live past their first days – all for lack of warmth.
At least a billion people globally have limited or no access to clean water. And while almost half the world's population cooks with wood or other biomass fuels, indoor-air pollution generated by cooking fires contributes to the premature deaths of nearly two million people annually.
Enter the "techmanitarians" – a dozen international innovators who toil with unequaled resolve to eliminate these and other persistent global challenges. Their noble achievements will be recognized Thursday, Nov. 15, at the Santa Clara Convention Center during Silicon Valley's leading awards program, The Tech Awards, presented by Applied Materials in association with the Center for Science, Technology, and Society at Santa Clara University.
This year, two cash prizes will be awarded - $75,000 and $25,000 - in each of six of The Tech Awards categories: Intel Environment Award; Microsoft Education Award; The Swanson Foundation Young Innovator Award; Nokia Health Award; Flextronics Economic Development Award, and The Sustainable Energy Award.
The Tech Awards laureates 2012 represent regions as diverse as Africa, India, South America and the United States. Their work impacts people in many more countries worldwide.
During their week-long stay in Silicon Valley, the laureates are engaged in specialized business and media training, networking with leading tech companies and venture capitalists, as well as learning about the experiences of fellow laureates.
As part of Santa Clara University's ongoing partnership with The Tech Awards, through the Center for Science, Technology, and Society (CSTS), several workshops will be hosted by CSTS to build the business capacity of the laureates. CSTS is hosting a "speed-pitch" workshop where the laureates will have one minute to make their elevator pitch to each impact investor in the room as a way to provide real-world feedback from those who matter most, investors. After the "speed-pitch" more advanced discussion about investment models for social enterprises and non-profits will be led by John Kohler, director of impact capital for CSTS.
The night of the Gala, CSTS will also provide profiles of each of the laureates for guests of the Gala and the general public which encapsulate 3 months of direct work with the laureates to develop a marketing piece that can be used for fundraising as well.
Since the inception of The Tech Awards program in 2001, 257 laureates have been recognized. Their pioneering work has included designing earthquake-resistant construction technology to creating a heat-sensitive label for vaccine vials to make sure children receive potent immunizations to building a simple, low-cost, mobile phone-based device that allows remote monitoring and operation of irrigation pumps.
As part of The Tech Awards, Indian philanthropist N.R. Narayana Murthy, will be honored with the James C. Morgan Global Humanitarian Award sponsored by Applied Materials. This award honors individuals whose broad vision and leadership help to alleviate humanity's greatest challenges. Murthy founded tech services giant Infosys Limited along with six colleagues and went on to become one of India's most influential advocates for health care and rural development.
More on The Tech Awards can be found at http://thetechawards.thetech.org/
Applications are now being accepted for next year's laureates.

ComputerDoc necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 160 diseños de 30 diseñadores freelance.
Create a new logo for an 11 year old computer service and repair company. We've been using a line-art drawing of an ambulance speeding to the scene of an emergency that is simple and to the point but doesn't convey the professionalism of our services. It's time to upgrade and with your creativity and expert design ability we'll have a impressive logo in no time!
What We Need
ComputerDoc needs a new logo that is simple, clean, memorable, and communicates the "doctor" theme of our company name.
Our Current Logo
It has come to our attention that we cannot continue using our current logo because it is copywritten clipart. We like the logo because of how well it ties with our company name, but, being clipart, its not terribly cool-looking. The current logo is a line-drawing of a "cartoonish, bubbly-looking" ambulance shown from the side speeding toward its destination. There are motion/dust clouds coming from the back indicating quick movement, and sound waves emitting from the siren atop the ambulance imply a prompt response that is already in process. The ambulance's side is a pale yellow with a simple, slightly dull red cross (similar to the American Red Cross) that shares the entire logos slight leaning to the right, further accenting the concept of speeding toward the scene.
We presently show this logo above the text "Your Friendly Computer Doctor" italicized in the Times font, but occasionaly omit this tagline if space is limited. We always display the logo with our company name, typically with "ComputerDoc" on one line placed over "Computer Services Inc". The text in the second line is scaled in such a way as to remain readable but also exactly as wide as "ComputerDoc" on the first line (to create a square appearance). All of the text in the company name is black except for the "Doc" in the first word which is the same dull-red color as the cross on the side of the ambulance.
Important Note
"ComputerDoc" does not have a space between "Computer" and "Doc" and the D of Doc is always capitalized. There have been iterations of our logo where the entire word "DOC" is capitalized, but even in that case there is still no space prior.
About Us
ComputerDoc (full company name is "ComputerDoc Computer Services, Inc.") is a small computer service and repair company that specializes in providing personal (i.e. one-on-one) service to consumers and small businesses. We quickly respond to our client's needs, provide best-in-class service in a highly professional manner (like a doctor), and do so in a friendly manner that all of our customers find easy to relate to.
- The new logo should focus on concepts such as "emergency, quick, speedy, urgency, doctor, fix, help"
- The logo should be clean, simple, and modern-looking.
- The logo's features should remain easily distinguishable even when made small (approx 0.5" tall.)
- The logo should have a corporate/professional feel (one reason we disliked the cartoonish appearance of our current logo).
- We prefer a logo that has a 3D feel to it. Shadows, gradients, etc. are fine.
- We prefer a logo that does not incorporate a computer, monitor, or other computer peripheral, although a creative design could change this desire.
- For references, we like the UPS shield, the Coke bottle top, etc, for their incorporation of the name into the logo.
- We prefer a logo that can communicate our "Computer doctor" theme all on its own without requiring the company name to be present to "explain".
- Transparent background so that we can place our logo over a variety of backgrounds as the situation may dictate.
- We don't have any color-scheme requirements, but suggest use of red (communicates urgency) and white (communicates professionalism, cleanliness, etc.). Do feel very free to experiment.
- We like the glassy, 3D look of the Windows Vista Start Menu "orb"
- Provide in vector format, Adobe Illustrator preferred. The logo will be used in a wide variety of sizes.
- Find a way to make the brand name "ComputerDoc" not look so painfully wide when made into a logo.
- Avoid too many colors. Three is likely the limit.
- Don't use photographs or other non-vector material
- Don't feel the need to maintain the ambulance idea of our current logo.
- Avoid complexity. The winning logo will balance strong communication of our theme without taking more than a second for the eye to interpret.
- Cartoonish looking logos

Visitors to the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism Education Center and Museum will see a lot of new mounted displays in the bird room thanks to a generous donation from a Hutchinson man.
Duane Brown, of South Hutchinson, has donated almost his entire mounted collection of water birds for display in the bird room at the museum, said Chris Shrack, education information representative.
Shrack was pleasantly surprised when Brown called him out of the blue earlier this year and told him he wanted to donate his collection.
"I was excited," Shrack said. "This would give me a chance to replace some of my older mounts."
Many of the exhibits in the museum are decades old and the bird exhibits are no exception. Some of those exhibits back to the 1940s.
Some of the donated birds are almost that old as well. Ten of the birds range from 30 to 35 years old but the rest are from 10 to 20 years old with a few taken three or four years ago.
Brown is an avid hunter and has hunting leases south of Burrton one at Quivira National Wildlife Refuge that he has maintained for 42 years. Most of the birds were taken at Quivira. He chose waterfowl because the diversity of species always made hunting interesting.
After he retired he would go hunting four or five times a week so he had a wide variety of birds to donate.
Years ago he and his wife determined that when one of them died the other would donate the birds to KDWPT. After his wife died last spring, Brown determined to make good on that decision.
"I wanted them (birds) to stay in Kansas. The (KDWPT) headquarters was the most likely place to enjoy them," said Brown who had all his birds mounted by other people.
The birds arrived in February and since then Shrack has been busy deciding where to put the displays and what older displays to move to other locations in the museum including the dioramas in the aquarium room.
When the new birds arrived, Shrack was even happier when he discovered that nearly every on of the birds was one he didn't have.
Some of the new birds include ringneck ducks, northern pintails, common golden eye and hooded merganser.
Several of the mounts are in a flying position and they have already been mounted on the walls in the bird room. Others have been placed in display cases and their display setup is almost complete.
A story about the donation appeared in the Kansas Wildlife and Parks magazine and has caused a lot of curiosity. Museum visitation is up and many of those visitors want to know where the new birds are located.
All these birds are associated with Kansas. They either nest here or stop in Kansas during their regular migratory routes, Shrack said.
Quivira is a national wildlife refuge and is located six miles north of Stafford on U.S. 281 then six miles east.

Critical climate and energy decisions look set to lose out as political leaders squabble over new appointments
European Council - EU Heads of State or Government chaired by Herman Van Rompuy, President of the European Council
Friday 27 June 2014 in Brussels
Tomorrow, EU Heads of State and Government will meet in Brussels to debate on two burning issues: the EU's energy dependence on Russia and an EU climate and energy framework for 2030 to be agreed in October.
WWF fears that the discussion on who becomes the next president of the European Commission will overshadow these key debates on the future of EU climate and energy policies.
For WWF, it is crucial that the EU Heads of State and Government make substantial progress towards agreeing new climate and energy targets, well beyond the 40 percent greenhouse gas target the Commission has outlined for 2030.
An ambitious climate and energy package, including strong energy efficiency and renewable energy targets, will not only support Europe's competitiveness and global climate action but are also key to ensuring the EU's energy independence in the medium to long term.
Tony Long, Director of WWF European Policy Office said:
"While the political manoeuvrings around the choice of the next Commission President grab the headlines, the fact remains that this a complete diversion from the far more pressing climate and energy decisions that are now on the table and which matter far more to European citizens.
If EU leaders are serious about ensuring EU's energy independence in the medium to long term, they must endorse a 2030 ambitious climate and energy package including strong energy efficiency and renewable energy targets.
Using more lignite and diverting clean investment to unconventional fossil fuels will not promote energy security – rather, it will contribute to climate insecurity and make a meaningful energy transition even harder to achieve."

The sixth annual reception for Montclair State University authors
was held on April 22, 2014, in Sprague Library's Periodicals Reading Room and
faculty, staff and administrators gathered to recognize those who had recently authored
books, or produced CDs or DVDs, and to browse through the displayed works.
"This year we have more than 40 entries, including books, a
film DVD and music CD and, once again, they make an impressive and extraordinary
display," said Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Willard
Gingerich, co-sponsor of the event together with Library Services Dean Judith
Lin Hunt. "To each of our current authors and artists, congratulations, and to
all our colleagues, we look forward to honoring you next year or some year
Faculty and staff from every college and school in the
University as well as a number of departments produced the books and media on
display and the works reflect the depth and range of the research and interests
of the authors. New editions of text books and scholarly research works
dominated the mix but there were also works of fiction, poetry and a children's
A large group of authors and well-wishers were on hand to
mingle and talk about the works. The reception provided the opportunity for everyone
to see what their colleagues have produced and to catch up with those from
other departments and colleges. As in past years, a booklet with a cover image
and synopsis of each of the new works was available to take away.
The books are on display in the exhibit case in the lobby of Sprague Library until the end of May and copies of the booklet are available at the Library's circulation and reference desks. All members of the University community are welcome to pick up a copy.
The booklet is also available online at the websites of the Provost and the Library, and can be viewed below.

..pan drippings
yes you can use these - but be aware "solids" in a stock can make it cloudy.
depending on personal preferences and how you eventually use the stock, this may not be an issue at all.
pan drippings usually have a fair amount of fat in them, that should float up and be skimmed off.

Post subject: first time making stock
hi michael,
i love your site! i'm a newbie in the kitchen and trying to learn the basics. i roasted a 7lb chicken last night and saved the carcass, skin, giblets and all the leftover bones. i have been trying to figure out how to make stock and what parts of the chicken i'll need. some stock recipes call for the giblets. why don't you use them? would you use the skin? also since i have a bigger sized chicken do i need to use more carrots, celery and onions? is there a certain ration of "bird" to veggies? and lastly can you explain why you would reduce the stock down? what does that mean when i got to use it in a recipe later on? do i need to add water to it?
i know i'm totally overanalyzing this, but it would help me tremendously to know the background. thanks!

I usually use the giblets for gravy. You can certainly use them in the stock along with the skin. I'd probably brown all the meat and skin first in a pan before adding it to the stock to promote flavor. I don't think you'll need to adjust the vegetables (that's something for you to experiment with in the future).
I reduce the stock for storage purposes. It's also really really good as an undiluted soup (just add a little salt and pepper when heating it for soup) since the gelatin content is so high. So "regular" broth applications you can either use it full strength (for more flavor) or dilute with water (up to your discretion). Since broths often taste different (homemade vs. bought - brand vs. brand), the specific taste will be different if you use full strength vs. diluted, but again you'll need to experiment to see what taste you prefer.

Thanks for this site. It's very helpful. Why do recipes for making stock suggest you keep the lid off? Is there an advantage to having to keep adding water? Wouldn't keeping the lid on keep the liquid from evaporating? Some recipes call for keeping the lid off a crack. Why not leave the lid on completely?

I can't speak for other recipes, but I keep the lid off because it's easier to keep the stock from boiling (which can break up too much material and result in a cloudy broth).

Post subject: Stock
I have been making my own stocks for years, and cannot recommend it enough. I usually buy whole chickens and butcher them myself since I like my stock to have raw bones, but I have also worked with pre-roasted poultry, beef and lamb bones to wonderful effect. In my experience, there is no amount of roasting which leaves an edible product and still excludes good stock making. Whole chickens are also very cost effective when you do not throw out large portions of them unused.
I usually put just the poultry in the pot and simmer it for an hour. Then I pull the solids out, pick the bones clean and return them to the pot. Then I make a chicken salad sandwich and save the rest of the meat in ziploc bags for adding to soup, or enchiladas, or whatever. Once the clean bones are back in the pot I add the aromatics: herbs, carrots, onion and celery. 7-11 hours later, I pour it through a fine sieve, chill asap and freeze in 1/2 cup, 1 cup and 3 cup pieces (for sauces, soups and risoto as needed). For the smaller increments I use 9 oz plastic cups which I freeze and then store in large ziploc bags until needed.
As for clarifying stock: If I am making Chinese soups (which traditionally call for a very clear stock) I will clarify them with 4 egg whites per 5 cups of stock (yes, that is a lot. I rarely bother, but if I am going to be presenting my final product to someone critical, it is what works). After chilling and skimming the fat from your stock, whip your egg whites to a frothy but less than peaked state. Stir them gently into your chilled, defatted stock. Slowly bring your stock to a simmer, and simmer for ~30 minutes. Then pour it through at least a cheesecloth-lined collander, or if you want crazily clear stock, pour it through a paper coffee filter. It tastes about the same so like I said I rarely bother. Very pretty though.
I also find that if I add about 1/4 to 1/2 of the salt I would expect to use in any recipe, the flavor of the stock holds up better in the long term. If you add no salt at all, I tend to find subtle skunky flavors after long-term freezing (6 months or more, not that that happens often), but a teaspoon or so of kosher salt per quart heads that off.
Finally, Mr. Chu: I have been reading your site for some time and it kicks all kinds of ass. Kudos, and I hope you carry on.

Post subject: One more detail...
I cannot stress enough the importance of using good water in your stock making. There is a certain amount of concentration involved, and if you use tap water which tastes like crap, your stock will taste like concentrated crap. I am fortunate in that my city takes some pains to provide good tap water, but if yours does not you should definitely use bottled water. After all, the vast majority of your final product is the water you used...
This may even be more true for stock than it is for home-brewed beer, which has a fairly insane amount of stuff added to it in the form of sugars, oils and other good stuff.

Post subject: No mention of an immersion chiller?!
All these comments from engineers, many on the subject of how to cool down your broth, and not one mention of an immersion chiller?! Are there no brewers here? For those of you not familiar with this piece of equipment, an immersion chiller is basically a big coil of copper tubing. You connect one end to your faucet via a hose, and run a hose from the other end to the drain, then you immerse the coil in the liquid you want to cool, and run cold water through it. The temperature drops crazy fast (to get technical about it).
If you were really nuts, you'd use a counterflow chiller, but that might be a bit much for stock...

Post subject: Immersion chiller
You make a good point. I generally would not use my beer chiller for stock though, just because the amount of fat involved would make it hard to clean. I love chicken fat, and I love my beer, but I don't much want to mix them (despite the classic recipe in the Modern Homebrewer's Bible for beer made with a whole chicken -- don't blame me, it was not my idea...). I am just not so concerned about the speed with which my stock cools to go quite so far as to contaminate my beer equipment with it. I never use my stock without boiling it first, so it is really excess prudence to chill it super quickly. Not that that is a bad thing, mind you...

Post subject: other stock ideas
Broth is a big part of my cooking.
I keep a large tupperware in the freezer, so whenever I am chopping onions, garlic, celery, etc, I put all the scraps and peelings in there for making stock. Also, whenever something looks like it might "go" (celery that's gotten soft, for example, but nothing actually *bad*).
I always add a glug of vinegar to extract more goodness from the bones.
There are only two of us I cook for regularly, so often I have small batches of bones to make stock with. When that is the case, I make it in the crockpot as it's easier to do small batches without having to watch to keep the water level up. Throw it in, turn it on, cover and come back whenever it's convenient to do so, doesn't matter if it's 6 hours or 12.
For turkey stock, I don't bother with a stockpot. After Thanksgiving dinner, I cut the leftovers off the carcass, and put the roasting pan on TWO burners of my stove, add water and veggies, and make the stock right in it, with all the leftover drippings and whatnot. It's very flavorful because you have all the seasonings from the stuffing, etc. And it nearly gels while still hot! We usually have pumpkin pie and coffee several hours after dinner, by the time the cleanup from that is done, the stock is ready to be strained.
For chicken stock, I prefer a whole raw chicken, with the neck and giblets, for the most flavorful broth. I freeze the meat in 2 cup portions to use in recipes calling for cooked chicken (chicken salad, stirfries, casserole type dishes).
Not that I'll "waste" a chicken carcass from a roasted chicken; that gets turned into stock too.
I've found that making it from breasts or wings doesn't work as well, just doesn't taste very good, it's bland.
It works pretty well with leg quarters and since these go on sale for ridiculously cheap prices sometimes (I can pick up a 40lb package for $.29/lb - a stock-making bonanza!), they're great for making a big batch of stock, and again just freezing the meat for recipes.
When I plan to freeze the meat for recipes, I don't want to have to sort through and pick soggy onion peelings and disintegrated celery leaves and whatnot. So what I do is take a big piece of muslin and put all the veggies in it, tie if off, and throw it in the stockpot. That simplifies the process when the stock is done, you only have to sort through the meat and bones.
For beef broth, I always roast the bones first. If I've slow roasted short ribs, the leftover bones get used to make stock. If I'm just planning to make stock, I roast shank bones, then scoop the marrow into the liquid. To me, the flavor when you've roasted the bones first is much improved with beef stocks. This doesn't gel as well as the other broths, but is yummy.
I've never yet had enough ham bones to just make stock; I only do a whole ham once or twice a year. The stock gets made immediately into one of several soups I just love and canned.
When doing big batches at once, I either freeze stock in square quart containers (they use freezer space better than round ones) or can it in quart jars. I've never considered storing in smaller batches because there's no way I won't go through a quart in a few days anyways.
I have a quart or two of stock in my fridge all the time, I prefer it to water for cooking brown rice, beans, kasha, small pastas, etc.
I also just heat a cup to drink a few times a week. It makes a nice hot drink, a change from just coffee and tea all the time.
I also make "instant" soup by putting a cup of broth and any random leftover meat or veggies or grain in a big mug and nuking it.
Broth is just awesome stuff.

Post subject: why cool your stock and roasted vs non roasted bones
You cool your stock down in an ice bath to prevent food borne bacteria from multiplying to unsafe levels. You have six hours to cool your stock to 41 degrees or less. Bacteria goes fastest between 125 and 70 degrees, in fact it double by division every twenty min in that temperature range. Your refrigerator was not designed to cool foods just to keep cold foods cold. So foods placed into a fridge without proper cooling can remain in the danger zone for days allowing for dangerous levels of bacteria.
The difference between roasting your bones or not is related to the finished color of the stock. A roasted bone stock is called a brown stock and non roasted stock is called a white stock. Both are good but have different uses in the kitchen.

Post subject: Cooling stock?
Stock simmered for several hours covered should be virtually sterile. It certainly won't have any of the Salmonella associated with industrial poultry production. If you bring it back to a simmer after straining, you could then cool it down, covered and unmolested; and put it into ziplock bags for freezing with minimal risk of bacterial contamination. I have cooled it on the patio before.

Post subject: Stock
After simmering stock 6-14 hours I add more herbs (1-2 tsp: thyme, parslely, powdered poultry seasoning; 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp tumeric) and simmer for another 15 - 20 minutes. This is to retain the maximum flavor of the herbs which begins to boil off after this time (aromatic oils are very fragile and boil off easily). Of course, this can be done when making soups from the stock.
The pot is covered during the simmering process so that the aromatic oils from the seasonings are not lost and condense back into the stock. Some people actually use condenser lids (lids in which ice can be placed) in order to achieve maximum condensation of aromatics which are nutritious and very flavorful.
Vinegar (1 T) and/or lemon juice (I add both), and I have read even parsley, all facilitate the removal of calcium from the bones in addition to the first two significantly enhancing the flavors of the stock. The lemon juice will also remove calcium from the shells of simmered poultry egg shells. Though, most store bought chicken egg shells have been washed in toxic chemicals. Simmer 8-17 hours, stirring every hour to half hour.
Optional - I add a little tumeric (1 tsp) to yellow the stock. This is very traditional. Peppercorns (berperine) will facilitate the absorption of most of the healthy elements from the tumeric. Tumeric can have an odd flavor if too much is added.
Adding dulse will hyper boost the mineral content and, adding powdered poultry seasoning will wow with flavor (sage, thyme, onion, cumin, marjoram, celery seed, pepper, red pepper).
I do not remove all of the fat from the stock because fat facilitates the absorption of some nutritional elements (e.g., fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, K). So, if you were to add vegetables to the stock for a soup, simmer a bit, you would absorb more of these vitamins. In addition, FAT is THE FLAVOR ENHANCER of any dish.

Fishpond Cloudburst Gear Bag.
- Price: $224.95 - In stock
- Product ID: 0000000016-CGB
Kingfisher- Western Montana's Premier Flyshop & OutFitter
Our favorite thing to say about this bag is that it's "often copied, but never duplicated." But we keep that to ourselves, because the Cloudburst Gear Bag has gunwale hooks (the competition is always flipping their boats), an integrated waterproof cover (it is always raining on the competition's side of town), and our signature waterproof molded bottom (the competition is careless and clumsy with their gear). If our competitors are using our bags, why shouldn't you?

Back in the day when my husband and I were dating we used to think of places to live and make a fresh start. And he'd pull out a map, like a real huge map he kept in his car and we'd try to imagine new places. So one time he said: how about Jupiter? And I laughed and said Why not? I didn't know he was talking about Jupiter, Florida :) This is the first piece in the 'Jupiter' series.

US says 14 more nations join statement on Syria
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says 14 more nations have signed on to a statement blaming Syrian President Bashar Assad's government for a chemical weapons attack and calling for a strong international response.
That means the list has grown to 25 from the 11 — including the U.S. — who initially signed on. The statement was unveiled Friday at the Group of 20 economic summit in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Among the new nations announcing support are Germany, Denmark, Morocco, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, Estonia, Croatia, Hungary, Kosovo, Honduras, Romania, Latvia, Albania and Lithuania are also listed.
The statement doesn't explicitly call for military action against Syria, as President Barack Obama is advocating. But administration officials say it's an implicit endorsement because the U.S. is publicly discussing a potential military strike.
