Art 103
from Gauss Disquisitiones Arithmeticae (english translation) states that an odd x mod 2^n (n > 2) is a square if and only if x is congruent to +1 modulo 8
A proof for the oddity formula
. Here we prove the so-called oddity formula relating different p-excesses of matrices/lattices. p-excesses have been introduced by Conway.
SL2(Z) = <s,u | s^4=id, u^3=s^2 >
. We show that SL2(Z) is the free group generated by s,u (where s=S, u=TS) modulo the relations s^4=id, u^3=s^2.
The Weil representation is a representation
. We prove the well-definedness of the Weil representation on the group ring of a discriminant form.
Jordanizing Discriminant Forms
. We prove that every discriminant form possesses a Jordan splitting.

text: Sometimes, the first time is the charm. It is, anyway, for Sean Matthew Whiteford, founder and artistic director of the Castaway Players Theater Company. The comapny's first musical graces the stage this weekend at the Center for Performing Arts in Rhinebeck. "'Girlfriend From Hell' is a pop musical set in the 1980s," Whiteford said. The concept is based on a horror film set in the same era, he added. "I got permission from Dan Peterson, the original director, to take the idea into my own hands and make it mine," he said. The musical was first performed two years ago at the Gene Frankel Theater in New York, according to Whiteford. "Off-, off- -- way off-Broadway," Whiteford said, addng that Peterson saw the musical then and loved the way diverged from the film. "It has dialogue," Whiteford said. It differs from past productions, "Hair" and "Rent," both of which were sung entirely, he said. In 2011, Whiteford said, he the wrote the first draft in about three months, but has revised it several times since. "I'm probably in the eighth draft by now," he said humorously. The plot, he added, concerns the naÏve high school wallflower, Maggie Miller, who longs for love and a boyfriend. After the popular students pull a nasty prank on her, Maggie appeals to the heavens for assistance. "She's willing to sell her soul for a boyfriend," Whiteford said. "Unfortunately for everyone concerned, Satan hears her plea and he takes over her persona, making her into a sex bomb with special powers that enable her to exact revenge on the mean girls. "The musical is the embodiment of the greatest and worst horror movie -- on stage," he said. With a gleam in his eye, Whiteford says that he plays Satan. His fiancee, Juda Leah, plays Maggie, so there has to be some kind of fun chemistry on stage. "Oh, the musical is hilarious," Whiteford said. "This is the kind of 'leave your brain at the door' kind of entertainment that we all need once in a while." With a cast of 22 actors, he added, he created "a lot of silly characters, who are totally endearing." The cast is very self-aware and understand what the musical is about, according to Whiteford. "There's a song, 'This Show has Every Cliche,' that kind of makes the point," he said. Whiteford, who formed the company in 2005, producing and directing more than 20 shows, said he was taking a hiatus for a few months. He was modest about the reason. "I auditioned for the lead role in the 1980s musical 'Rock of Ages'," he said. "I got the role of Lonny and will be touring with the rest of the cast for about eight months." However, Whiteford was quick to note that he planned to return to the area in March. "I have the season already planned for when I return," he said.

Sudbury photo blogger, Matt Alexander, is using photo manipulation and social media to highlight the lack of cycling infrastructure within this Northern Ontario city of over 160,000. Mass Media constructs reality and contains values, beliefs and ideologies. By presenting over a hundred images of cyclists with their bicycles removed Alexander hopes to use humour and strong visual images to create a dialogue about the lack of infrastructure for this mode of transportation in the city of Sudbury.
Statistics indicate a low use of bikes by workers in the city, but then lack of infrastructure impedes or restricts their efficiency. No mention is made in the online article of students in either post secondary institutions or youth.

Here are few dance clubs I have fond memories hanging out in the early 80s in Fresno:
THE PLAYPEN - Located on Blackstone south of Shields on the west side - it was down the block from "Nichola's" restaurant I recall - it was round-shaped and used to play the coolest 80s electro-funk-hip-hop music, i.e. Freeez, Debbie Deb, Trinere, Fonda Rae, etc.
ZACK'S - This was actually located in Clovis, but was a great teen/high school dance club that used to play all the new wave/dance club hits - favorites were Madonna's "Burning Up," Dominatrix's "Dominatriax Sleeps Tonight," The Cure's "Let's Go to Bed," Tin Tin's "Kiss Me," and many more. Kinda had a 'barn" atmosphere, lots of wood beams and the DJ upstairs.
KNOCK THREE TIMES (at Picadilly Inn) on Shaw - the sound track was a mix of 80s new wave hits and 80s R&B/soul/electro - won the dance contest a few times here!
EXPRESS - downtown Fresno on Blackstone near Belmont - not just a gay dance club, very mixed depending on the night - gay, bi, str8, guys, girls, everyone came to dance here - I believe it closed in the 90s and moved to a larger club farther north on Blackstone?
Another mixed dance club downtown (forget the name), but it was underground with a "tunnel/bridge" in between - big dancefloor, high-tech cool decor during the 80s - anyone remember it? Also, another mixed dance club on Clinton (?) near 99 (?) - always packed, good music, forgot the name. Anyway, when I visit Fresno now, it seems like there are NO good dance clubs anymore. Doesn't anyone go out dancing in 2011?
80s Dance Clubs in Fresno
Do you remember the Country Boys Market with its wooden floors? Walter Smiths was the place to go for clothes on the Fulton Mall. Penny Candy had great blacklight posters and don't forget Whitie's Pet Store on Blackstone. What vintage retail do you remember growing up in Fresno?

I'm looking to start a 5-person dance group. Are there any websites that have group dance moves? I am starting a 5-person dance group and need some sites or sources to pick up tips and moves from. It's not country or classicla or folk music, its more like modern dancing, breakdancing, "serving" if you will.

Re: 80s Dance Clubs in Fresno
How about "The Zoo" at Herndon and Blackstone. It had the best local bands. Years before it was The Zoo it was Nashville West.
Burger Joints and Local Eateries
One of Fresno's swanky restaurants is now a rehab center. The Desert Inn was way out on W. Whitesbridge. Best place for prime Rib.

And don't forget the Palace, Star Palace, Tequila Petes (which later became Scoreboard), Lucys and the infamous, Night Flight.

Don't come looking for Bay Weekly at 5861 Deale-Churchton Road. After seven and a half years, we've popped out of the little brick outcropping at Tri-State Marine.
The second commonest statement we heard in all those years (second only to 'My! That dog has big feet,' exclaimed in reference to our office dog Max, the yellow Lab) was 'How do you put out a paper in such small quarters?'
Clearly, amazing things happen in close confines. We've outgrown our spaces four or five times during the 90 months we grew, yet each time we found another way to reconfigure ourselves. Both phenomena are magic, which synchronistically is the subject of "Not Just for Kids" this week.
Please come looking for us at 536 Deale Road. We're the west point of the triangle whose other two points are Happy Harbor to the south and the Rockhold Creek Bridge to the north - the middle of three Bay cottages. Federal Express has already found us, so we know you will, too.
Besides giving us elbow room, our move suits us in a couple more ways. As the paper committed to the Chesapeake, we've always longed to be by the water. Finally we've got a water view, and with plenty of windows, most of us look out on Rockhold Creek.
Second, remaining in Southern Anne Arundel County keeps us smack in the center of the Bay region we serve, which stretches from Severna Park in the north through Annapolis; out Crownsville and Riva through Davidsonville to Crofton and Bowie; back through Upper Marlboro to the Beaches, Dunkirk, Prince Frederick and all the way to Solomons.
As we searched for our ideal home, we've been frustrated by near misses in Galesville, Shady Side and Edgewater. We've been tempted by Annapolis and the Beaches, with their lively town virtues and comely structures for and this is reason three we've been committed to a smart move. That's meant a spot already developed rather than a nice piece of Chesapeake Country's open space. It means a spot with commercial zoning but that's as close to our ideal of "mixed use" as current county zoning allows.
We found all that at 536 Deale Road. But wait: there's more.
Fourth, we've sought a space that's indigenous to the region. We've always believed that buildings should suit their landscape and their culture. On this point, too, we've finally scored. Other than a tobacco barn, there's no more suitable space in Bay country than a Bay cottage. On the landscape side, we're set in a green yard planted with lots of American garden favorites that thrive in Chesapeake Country's steamy garden: crape myrtle, holly, hydrangea, lilac and rhododendron. (When you come visit, bring a flowering perennial from your garden to help us with a friendship garden.)
Fifth, we've settled in a spot where we can be part of our sustainable ideal of Chesapeake Country. It's another stroke of synchronisity that we've made our move just as our neighbors completed the Small Area Plan for our communities: South County, Deale, Shady Side and Galesville. We've supported this effort all along and, recognizing that consensus means compromise, we support their recommendations. Now we're stepping into a future of small, smart sustainable communities within the green sweep of Chesapeake Country.

AUGUSTA (AP) — A Maine legislative committee has approved a bill that would ban virtual charter schools while the state works on offering online learning resources to all students by the fall.
The Legislature's Education and Cultural Affairs Committee approved the amended bill Wednesday.
The Portland Press Herald reports that under the legislation a stakeholders group will work with school administrators to create a request for proposals to have the state work with New Hampshire's virtual academy to allow Maine students to access their online resources by the fall.
The bill imposes a ban on any virtual charter schools in Maine between July 3 and Jan. 15, 2015, when the stakeholders group must report back to the Education Committee on how to offer online learning tools to Maine students.

Pest Control Techniques for the Home Garden
As midsummer vegetables ripen, garden pests abound. Identifying pests is the key to selecting appropriate controls, whether gardeners choose pesticides or alternative techniques.
Generally, pests include any living organisms that interfere with crop growth, including insects, diseases, weeds, rodents, birds and even dogs. A good fence will help keep dogs out. For birds, try netting to protect crops. Buried hail screen or hardware cloth can protect gardens from most rodents. Pesticides are occasionally used to control insects, diseases and weeds, but there are also many effective non-chemical techniques. Insecticides generally kill insects that chew treated plant parts or that suck them up through plant sap. Some insecticides are absorbed through insect skin. Insects may also be controlled with proper sanitation, such as cleaning up old leaves where insects over winter. Biological controls include natural insect predators like lacewings, ladybugs, and praying mantes. Be careful with insecticides, because they can indiscriminately kill beneficial insects along with pests.
Sprays containing the bacteria Bacillus thuriengensis (BT) are another natural way to control pests like the cabbage looper. Because BT sprays are specific to these and other types of caterpillars, they won't harm other insects, animals or humans. Most plant diseases are caused by fungi, bacteria, viruses and microscopic parasitic worms known as nematodes. Generally, fungi are the largest group of plant pathogens. Many fungicides are applied to plants before disease occurs to prevent infection. Good sanitation and use of improved plant varieties with resistance or tolerance to specific diseases are the most environmentally friendly methods for controlling disease. The letters "VFN" following a tomato variety name refer to resistance or tolerance to Verticilluim wilt, Fusarium wilt and nematodes. Irrigating squash or melon plants in the morning rather than the afternoon will allow plants to dry out and reduce the incidence of powdery mildew. Viruses are hard to control and are often spread by aphids, thrip, and leafhoppers. Curly virus, which affects tomatoes and peppers, is spread by beet leafhoppers. When infected, tomato plants become stunted with curled leaves and purple veins. Chile plants will look stunted and yellow. Simply pull the infected plants up and discard them.
Commercial growers control most weeds with herbicides and proper cultivation methods. For home gardeners, the hoe is the most effective technique. It's environmentally friendly and provides good exercise. Mulches help control annual weeds. Both organic and plastic mulches will shade the ground, preventing weed germination. Plastic mulches also help control perennial weeds like bindweed. Both types of mulch will slow down evaporation from the soil, conserving water. As organic mulches decompose, they will return nutrients to the soil and to plants.back to top

A touch of compassion goes a long way
On May 12, 2012, noted Dubai-based entrepreneur-philanthropist, Wissam Al Jayyousi, left the UAE on his solo motorbike journey along the Old Silk Route, across 22 countries in Asia. The landmark journey culminated in Singapore on October 2, lasting 152 days. Throughout Wissam's trip, Thuraya was a steadfast communication partner, providing reliable telephony and internet services in some of the toughest terrain in the world.
Wissam with his Thuraya mobile communications equipment at the onset of 'Goodwill Journey'
A Jordanian national with Palestinian roots, Wissam embarked on the biggest mission of his life to spread awareness and raise funds for a children's cancer ward at Al Hussain Hospital in Beit Jala, Palestine. This is an initiative by the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF). All expenses for the trip were borne by Wissam himself. Proceeds from the journey are now being used to buy much needed medical equipment and supplies for the pediatric cancer center.
All alone on the highway…
To support Wissam's communication needs, Thuraya gave him the world's toughest satellite phone, the Thuraya XT, the world's smallest broadband terminal, the Thuraya IP, plus unlimited free airtime. Wissam used the devices primarily to reach out to his sponsors, friends and family as well as to publish photos, videos and instant messages on social media, including Facebook and his website, Goodwilljourney.org. The terminals also helped him mark his location status regularly on Google Maps, enabling online tracking.
From Russia with love!
Wissam relates his experiences to the world and conveys the message of Palestinian children.
In a journey fraught with risks, Wissam came to value his Thuraya communication equipment, often calling them his 'most trusted guides'. As he made his way across the treacherous mountain passes of Baluchistan in Pakistan, the Thuraya XT fell off his motorbike. Several miles later, Wissam realized he had lost his phone. Luckily, he had the previous coordinates, which later helped the police locate it. When found two days later, true to its highly robust nature, the Thuraya XT was intact and still on!
Way to go! Wissam's enthusiastic cheerleaders in Baluchistan, Pakistan
Wissam shares a light moment with family via his Thuraya XT satellite phone.
On another occasion, Wissam suffered a fall and sustained minor injuries. He writes in his diary, "I fell off my bike, sustained injuries to my ribs and the bike was also damaged. But, yet again, the phone was still on and working! Thuraya XT has proven to be tougher than me and my motorbike!"
Wissam Al Jayyoussi reached Dubai in early October 2012, after notching up some 60,000 kilometers. He told us, "The success of this campaign depended largely on the support of our key sponsors as well as the individual benefactors who genuinely believed in our cause. After breaking my ribs, after running through deserts, after ascending mountains, after crossing rivers, after the sound of the children reached the highest of mountains, after the Silk Road, after Slang Pass, after Pamir highway, after Gobi desert, after Samarkand and Tashkent, after the ups and downs, after the frustration, I reached my final destination in Singapore and I can finally say 'Mission Accomplished',"
Wissam Al Jayyoussi thanks Thuraya for a safe and memorable journey
At Thuraya, we are committed to serving humanity by delivering clear and reliable communication services that empower the citizens of the world and provide them with the means to go far in their quest for happiness and social balance, while remaining safe in the knowledge that they are at all times connected.

A shopkeeper punched and pepper-sprayed a robber who claimed to have a gun, thwarting the theft in the Tenderloin Sunday morning, police said.
The attempted robbery occurred around 1:40 a.m. in the 1000 block of Larkin Street.
The suspect, described as a 32-year-old black man, said he had a gun and then demanded the store's cash, police said.
The 38-year-old shopkeeper complied at first. But after realizing that the crook did not have a gun, he punched the thief and took the money back, cops said.

Telenor's third-quarter net profit rose by 52 percent amid higher revenues, trimmed costs and a lower tax rate, the Norwegian telecommunications group said Wednesday.
The company's report showed third-quarter net profit rose to 2.6 billion kroner ($470 million) from 1.7 billion in the same period a year ago.
Revenue for the quarter increased by 2.2 percent to 24.6 billion kroner from 24.1 billion in the third quarter 2010.
The company raised its outlook for full-year organic revenue growth to 6-7 percent from its previous 5 percent forecast, but reiterated its expectation for operating margin before other income and expenses to be around 31 percent.
The result beat analysts' expectations and Telenor shares climbed 1.7 percent to 134.5 kroner ($24.3) in early trading on the Oslo stock exchange.
"I am pleased to see that in a world of slowing growth and rising risks, Telenor's financial performance continues to improve," Telenor CEO Jon Fredrik Baksaas said.
"Despite global macro economic turbulence and floods in Asia, our operations have so far remained resilient. We adjust our guidance for 2011 based on solid performance the first nine months and expectations for the rest of the year," Baksaas said.
Telenor said the effective tax rate for the third quarter decreased compared to 2010, due to the tax expense provision concerning a claim from Norwegian tax authorities in the third quarter of 2010.
The number of total mobile subscriptions increased by 31,000 during the quarter due to strong growth in mobile broadband and voice subscriptions following the launch of a new consumer mobile product portfolio, Telenor said. At the end of the quarter, the company's mobile subscription base was 1 percent higher than last year.

Carole Waugh case: Fraud accused appears in London court
A 47-year-old has appeared in court to be accused of defrauding dead oil executive Carole Waugh.
Miss Waugh's body was found in a lock-up garage in New Malden, south-west London on Thursday.
Nicholas David Kutner appeared at Camberwell Magistrates Court via videolink from Sutton Police Station in south London.
He is accused of fraudulently attempting to let Miss Waugh's flat by pretending to be her brother.
Mr Kutner spoke only to confirm his name, age and when asked his address.
He was remanded in custody and is due to appear at Southwark Crown Court on 13 August.
Mr Kutner was arrested as he arrived in the UK on an international flight at Luton Airport last Tuesday.
Miss Waugh, 50, disappeared on 16 April.
Police say hundreds of thousands of pounds had been stolen from her, with 10 people now arrested over the case.

It seems like once the equinox happened, North Carolina decided to shift immediately into fall. We are on the third day of rain and there are no dry days in the forecast until next Friday. I'm sure I'll get tired of it soon. Until then, I'll still be out walking/running/enjoying myself in it. This weather always helps me buckle down to work a little harder, too, which will be helpful.
I love this cozy time of year. I hope you're enjoying it as much as I am.

If you want to join a band or orchestra at your school, you can choose from among many instruments - from a tiny piccolo to a huge sousaphone. In Israel at the time of the Bible, musicians also had a few choices. But Bible scholars are still trying to figure out what some of them were, based on how they are mentioned in the Bible.
It isn't always easy to figure out what was meant by words that have been translated as "dulcimer" or "sackbut," but the picture is becoming clearer as archaeological detectives uncover clues to the music of the past.
The Bible often mentions that people sang or played instruments at different times, at religious rites, family parties, weddings, and other celebrations. It sometimes mentions the instruments being played, but it doesn't describe them. Why? Because everyone at that time already knew what they were.
What makes it so hard to identify the instruments now? Ancient instruments were often very simple. A harp might use only a few strings, a pipe would have a few finger holes. As the instruments were improved, older versions of them disappeared, including many that were used during the time of the Old and New Testaments. (The events in the Bible took place between about 2000 BC to AD 70.) The words for the instruments also changed, so that now we sometimes have few clues to help us understand what some of the ancient instruments were.
People didn't write things down thousands of years ago, either. They told each other the stories and lessons. Sometimes they used songs to record their history and teach lessons. As their stories were shared with people from other traditions and cultures, the name of an instrument might change because the listeners had never heard of that particular instrument. As the story was retold, a different instrument, one more familiar to listeners, might be inserted in the tale.
Over the centuries, Bible translators had problems figuring out what an instrument was in another language. Ancient Hebrew, in which the Old Testament was written, was not always clear to later interpreters.
For example, the book of Samuel (chapter 10:5) mentions a "halil" in Hebrew. "Halil" has been translated at various times as an oboe or clarinet, a dance, a drum or cymbal, or as a stringed instrument. Other early texts suggest that this instrument could be made of bronze, copper, or reeds. Many modern scholars say it was probably a type of oboe or clarinet. The King James Version of the Bible calls it a pipe.
Many musical instruments mentioned in the Bible are understood more clearly through discoveries of ancient coins, drawings, and instruments. Coins sometimes show a picture of an instrument. Pictographs (writing using pictures) found in Egyptian tombs show musicians playing instruments. Researchers try to match the picture to the right Bible instrument.
Figurines have been found of men and women playing cymbals and drums. It is thought that women often played a type of tambourine or triangle at celebrations. The New Testament describes an instrument, aulos in Greek, that was played at weddings. Archaeological evidence of a single or double aulos in the Roman period shows that it was a reed instrument.
A passage in the book of Revelation describes an instrument called the kithara. The sound of it is compared to the rushing of many waters and the rolling of thunder. A Roman instrument of the time called a kithara was a type of lyre.
Have you ever heard of a sackbut? It's mentioned in a Bible story about Daniel, where he is told to bow down and worship an idol when he hears the sound of the "cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music." (See Daniel, chapter 3.) The sackbut, from the Hebrew sabbeka, has been variously interpreted to mean a type of pipe, oboe, harp, guitar, and even something like a trombone, although there were no known trombones in biblical times.
In English medieval literature the sambuca is a woodwind instrument, so some thought the sabbeka might be similar. Another document, the 9th century Psalter of Boulogne, has a picture of a sambuca as an instrument with strings. Many people now think the sackbut was a kind of harp.
The psaltery was probably a stringed instrument, too - a harp or maybe a lyre. (A lyre is a small harp.)
Then there's the dulcimer. It has been translated as a drum and even a type of bagpipe. It appears several times in one story in Daniel. It's always the last instrument in the list. Many scholars now say it wasn't an instrument at all, but describes a method of playing in which all the instruments join together.
Some instruments have evolved while their names have remained the same - the lyre and harp, for example. The shapes and number of strings have varied, but these employ some of the oldest ways of making music: causing a string to vibrate. (Early strings were made from the large intestines of sheep.)
One of the most notable instruments preserved since Old Testament times is the shofar. It appears more often than any other instrument mentioned in the Bible. The Hebrew means "ram's horn," but horns from other animals were also used. It is a signaling tool more than a musical instrument. It does not produce a wide range of tones. Shofars were used to announce the beginning of the sabbath, the death of a noble, the start or end of a war, the coming of the new moon, and other occasions. It was a call to assembly and a warning of danger. It is still used to proclaim Jewish ceremonial events. You can listen to a shofar at: www.acleartrumpet.org/wordstudy/shofar.htm
Another difficulty in understanding the music of biblical times is to figure out the tunes. People didn't write down music the same way we do now. Sometimes the words were written down, as in Psalms. All the psalms are thought to be songs, originally. But the tunes were not indicated. However, some ancient musical notations do exist. Anne Kilmer of the University of California at Berkeley has been working on how to translate these notations and play the music. The earliest known example of written music is from clay tablets discovered in the 1950s. They date back to 1400 BC and contain a hymn to the moon god's wife, Nikal. That's not a Bible story, but it does come from ancient times. (Listen to a musical interpretation of this notation at www.dfw.net/~amaranth/hurrian.htm.)
Many people like to explore the details of music in biblical times. Others are happy just knowing that singing, dancing, and music were used even then to worship God, to celebrate events, to liven up a party, and to help people feel better when they were sad. How do you like to use music today? You may find you have something in common with people who lived thousands of years ago.
References to music and instruments occur throughout the Bible. Music was a big part of life in the home and in the temple. Here are some Bible references that show the different ways music was used.
Victory celebrations (I Sam. 18:6): When David returns from war, women meet King Saul with singing and dancing, using tabrets (triangles) and other 'instruments of music.' That usually means harps or lyres.
Family parties (Luke 15:25): When the prodigal son returns, his father calls for a celebration with music and dancing.
Coronations (I Kings 1:39): A trumpet blows when Solomon is anointed king.
Stress relief (I Sam 16:23): David plays the harp to soothe a troubled King Saul.
Worship (Mark 14:26): Jesus and his disciples sing a hymn after they celebrate the Passover. In II Samuel (6:5), David and all Israel play music before the Lord, using 'all manner of instruments.'
A call to battle (Judges 7:18): Gideon instructs the army to blow on trumpets before a battle. The sound of a trumpet carried far and was helpful in alerting a large army, and also in frightening an enemy.
Lamentation (Matt 9:23): Minstrels (musicians) mourn a girl's death before Jesus restores her to life.
At work (Num. 21:17,18): It was not uncommon to sing while working - planting, harvesting, cleaning, and more. Some songs helped to make the work go faster, others included instructions for doing the work.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) Bryson Rose kicked a 31-yard field goal as time expired to give Mississippi a 30-27 victory over Arkansas on Saturday.
The win is the second straight in the Southeastern Conference for the Rebels (5-3, 2-2), who snapped a 16-game league losing streak in their last game against Auburn.
Rose's field goal was his third of the game, including a career-best 53-yarder that put Ole Miss up 27-20 early in the fourth quarter.
The Razorbacks (3-5, 2-3) tied the game at 27-27 with 2:09 remaining on a 4-yard touchdown run by Dennis Johnson, who finished with a career-high 161 yards.
However, Rebels quarterback Bo Wallace - who finished with 278 yards passing - directed Ole Miss on an eight-play, 61-yard drive that set up Rose's game-winning field goal.

Craig was referred when he became homeless. He had been a fulltime carer for his Mum, but when she passed away he found he couldn't cope. He lost his tenancy and became homeless. When he came to the Welcome Centre he wasn't in receipt of any benefits and had borrowed money off his friends to survive.
We were able to support Craig with food parcels and helped him to apply for benefits. He was signposted to a local housing agency, which were able to offer him a place on a shared accommodation scheme. Craig wanted to become an apprentice and we worked on a one to one basis to help build his confidence and to prepare him for his interview. He is now working full time as an apprentice and has been allocated a housing support worker, who is supporting him in his new tenancy.
"I was homeless and didn't know what to do. I had no money and was in debt to my friends. The Welcome Centre helped me to get back on my feet and I'm now training for my dream job."
Lynne was referred to the Welcome Centre after the breakdown of her marriage due to domestic violence. She was offered temporary accommodation but had no belongings with her.
We were able to offer her a household pack, bedding and towels and helped her to apply for benefits for herself and her three children. We also made a referral to a specialist agency that offers support in cases of domestic violence. They allocated Lynne a support worker who was able to attend court with her
Lynne's children had the opportunity to go on a school holiday but she had no money to pay for this. We applied for a charitable grant for her and she was then able to pay for them to attend.
"I had to leave my home quickly and had nothing. The Welcome Centre helped me to get my benefits and things for my new home, I really needed their help"
Jean is 86 and living in her own property in Slaithwaite but gets support from her carer. She has early stages of dementia and has support to manage her money, collect her pension etc.
Due to cutbacks by the local authority she has had her care hours reduced and she had to collect her money alone. When trying to use the cash point she forgot her pin number several times and her card was swallowed and she has forgotten the security information to unlock it.
Jean was left without any money and couldn't buy her weekly shop; with no family to support her, her social worker organised for a food parcel to help her out. Without this support from the Welcome Centre Jean could have been left hungry and a crisis was averted.
Fred, 50
Fred was reluctant to accept help; he had been in the army and worked all his life. When he lost his job he tried to cope but soon got in debt as he had more outgoing than he could now manage to pay.
The Welcome Centre helped him with food parcels and also contacted his creditors to negotiate a debt management plan, which Fred was able to manage to pay.
"I'd stopped opening my mail, they were all demanding payment. I didn't want to ask for help, but couldn't manage. The Welcome Centre helped me to arrange to pay off my debts in a manageable way."
John has been a self-employed chip shop owner for a long time but a few years ago he was diagnosed with three blood clots. This meant hospitalisation and led to a major financial crisis; he lost his business, couldn't pay his mortgage and lost his home.
His partner was working full time, however became pregnant and went on maternity. Whilst she was off on maternity leave the stresses of everything became too much and she was hospitalised following a breakdown. John's health means he can no longer work and has to struggle to help look after his 2 ½ year old child.
His partner is on sick leave however statutory sick pay is reducing quickly and she's waiting for Personal Independence Payments (Replaces Disability Living Allowance) to be approved. They've waited 22 weeks so far for this to be processed and could not have survived without the support of the Welcome Centre for food and nappies.
John said "I've worked all my life, I've never scrounged and we've been let down by a system for taking so long to help us. I couldn't have got by and fed my daughter without the kind support of the centre and ladies like Tina and the volunteers. I will get back on my feet and when I do I'll be back to help however I can"
Jane was referred to the Welcome Centre by the Huddersfield Mission Advisors, for a 3 person food parcel – she has two children and has had her benefits changes to Job Seekers Allowance and she's been trying to find work since.
As a stay at home mum for over 17 years she's now finding that lack of work experience is holding her back. She's struggling to make ends meet with benefit deductions, as well as historical debts for TV licence and utility bills.
The reduction in income and the deductions for decisions she made in the past are not helping – she chose not to pay her TV licence so she could pay for heating and food.
"I'm on my own in Huddersfield with my kids; I've got no family to help me so I've got no one to turn to. I just feel like screaming. I don't want to ask for help but I've got £15 a week to live on with two hungry and growing kids. I'm applying for so many jobs but I don't even hear back from them. I don't know what I'm going to do for Easter and birthdays. This isn't how I imagined things to be. I don't know where I would have gone without being able to come here, but I can't see how I am going to get out of this situation unless someone offers me a job"

The ancient ceremony of Swan Upping is to take place from 15-19 July 2013. All the swans and new cygnets on the River Thames will be marked and claimed in the traditional ceremony which originates from the twelfth century.
During Swan Upping, The Queen's swan markers and also the Worshipful Company of Vintners and the Worshipful Company of Dyers all mark their swans (the Vintners' and Dyers' company have shared ownership with the Crown since the 15th century) for reasons of tradition, as swans are no longer eaten even by the Royal Family.
This year's Swan Upping will start on Monday 15 July departing from Sunbury, and ends at Abingdon, Oxfordshire on Friday 19 July.
The Queen's Swan Marker, David Barber, said: "The Thames' swans are nesting later than usual due to the prolonged cold spring we have experienced this year. The number of cygnets has declined over recent years, primarily due to the spring floods that washed away many nests, and of course there have been several outbreaks of duck virus enteritis which killed many breeding pairs of swans."
The Queen's Swan Marker and the Swan Uppers of the Vintners' and Dyers' Livery Companies use six traditional Thames rowing skiffs in their five-day journey upstream to Abingdon. By tradition scarlet uniforms are worn by The Queen's Swan Marker and Swan Uppers, and each boat flies the appropriate flag and pennant.
It has always been the duty of the Sovereign's Swan Marker to count the number of young cygnets each year and ensure that the swan population is maintained.
The cygnets are weighed and measured to obtain estimates of growth rates and the birds are examined for any sign of injury, commonly caused by fishing hook and line. With the assistance of The Queen's Swan Warden, Professor Christopher Perrins of the University of Oxford, the swans and young cygnets are also assessed for any signs of disease.
The cygnets are ringed with individual identification numbers by The Queen's Swan Warden, whose role is scientific and non-ceremonial. The Queen's Swan Marker produces an annual report after Swan Upping detailing the number of swans, broods and cygnets counted during the week.
The Queen herself has also in recent years began visiting the markers at a certain point along their marking process and possibly will again this year.
Whilst The Queen legally owns all swans in the UK, only the ones on the River Thames are censused.

HTC has the One mini, Samsung has its Galaxy S4 mini, and Sony's got the Xperia Z1 Compact. Now it looks like it's LG's turn to join the shrunken smartphone game.
LG today took to its official Facebook page to share the image you see above, complete with the caption "Experience the MINI. Mobile World Congress. 2014-02-24." That's the LG G2 facing us in the lower-right image, and so the device resting next to it is likely the "mini" that LG is referring to.
While the Life's Good crew seems perfectly content to show us the G2 Mini's backside, the company isn't quite as forthcoming when it comes to the device's specs. We can see that it's got the same rear-mounted volume and power buttons as its full-size sibling, though, and there also appears to be a flash module next to the camera.
The original G2 features a 5.2-inch 1080p display, and so it'll be interesting to see how much LG decides to shrink that screen for the G2 Mini. Other miniaturized flagship phones on the market feature displays around 4.3 or 4.5 inches in size, so it's possible that LG could opt for a screen size right around there. The good news is that we don't have to wait long to find out what size LG selected, because the G2 Mini is set for a debut on Feb. 24, which just so happens to be the first day of Mobile World Congress. Prepare for the miniaturization of Android flagships to continue!

For the last six weeks, I've had a straightforward weekly writing target to meet: 3,000 words on my novel.
And for two of those six weeks, I failed.
Of course, there have been plenty of times in the past when I've skipped a week (or several weeks) of novel-writing. But this was different: I'd committed to joining in the Summer Challenge that I've been running for Writers' Huddle, and I was really disappointed that I didn't make my target.
Now, perhaps you're someone who always sets good goals and meets them. If so, I'm a little in awe of you (and a little bit envious). You don't need to bother reading the rest of this post.
If you're more like me, though – your writing life just doesn't always pan out how you wanted, despite your best intentions – then read on.
First, Celebrate What You DID Achieve
I was upset not to meet my target, particularly because I felt accountable to my lovely Writers' Huddle members.
It's easy to feel disappointed, upset, even angry with yourself, if you don't meet a writing target – and that can lead to giving up altogether. (If you've ever been on a diet, you'll know how easily a couple of small slip ups can turn into "I might as well write the whole week off and start again on Monday.")
So after dwelling on feeling angry and disappointed for longer than I should have, I made myself look on the bright side. After all:
- Even on those two bad weeks, I wrote something. I managed around 2,000 words across the two weeks – and without the challenge and that weekly target, I'd almost certainly have written nothing.
- I pushed myself to write in challenging locations (including the dining room table in the farmhouse we were staying in with my husband's extended family, and the back of my father-in-law's car on the way to a wedding).
Even if I hadn't written a single word during those two weeks, at least I'd be in a better position in the future to plan my writing.
Once you've found a more positive angle to things, it's time to take a look at what went wrong – and how you can do things differently next time.
As I see it, there are four key reasons why you might miss your target, despite starting out with great intentions.
#1: Your Goal Was Unrealistic
In my earlier writing days, I often set myself unrealistic goals – and I never met them. Usually, I'd then end up writing nothing at all for months on end.
Let's say you had a goal of writing 3,000 words every weekend for a month. It might sound challenging rather than unrealistic – but if you've got other weekend commitments (like family, friends, chores, volunteering…) then it might be really tough to find the time and energy to sit down and write.
Next time…
Give yourself an easy target that you're confident of achieving. Perhaps that means writing on just one weekend of the month (and ignoring the housework, telling your friends you can't hang out, and asking your partner to take the kids off for the whole of Saturday afternoon). You can always set yourself a bigger target next month.
#2: You Didn't Plan Enough
Maybe you did have enough time to reach your goal, but you didn't plan things very well. Let's say you want to write 40,000 words on your novel during the next 12 months. It's going to be very easy to put that off day by day – you're busy, you're tired, the 500 words you can manage will only be a drop in the bucket.
And all too soon, you'll be in month 10 of 12, with no writing done – and it'll be easiest just to give up. With the benefit of hindsight, you'll realise you did have the time, but you didn't plan out how you were going to use it.
Next time…
Break big goals down into smaller ones, and schedule your writing time. 40,000 words a year is 1,000 per week with 12 weeks off. If you can find just two days of the week when you can consistently write 500 words, you'll reach your target easily.
#3: You Procrastinated
Writing takes a lot of energy, and lends itself very well to displacement activities – it's so easy to check your emails or update Facebook or even do a bit of extra research when you really should be writing. (Don't feel bad about this. Plenty of writers, even bestselling authors, procrastinate.)
If you sit down to write for an hour or two, and find that the time is suddenly gone with very little to show for it, then take a good hard look at your working practices. If you start off by making a coffee, tidying your desk, sharpening your pencils, flicking through your library of useful how-to books on writing … you're probably procrastinating.
Next time…
Turn off your internet connection. Set a timer for 30 minutes, and write until it goes off. If you're tempted to stop and check emails / make a coffee / tidy your desk, tell yourself, "I'm writing right now. I can do that soon."
#4: Something Unexpected Happened
Maybe you planned your writing sessions, scheduling them carefully into a busy week. You were looking forward to them … and then something unexpected came up. Perhaps a friend needed help moving house, or you ended up visiting a relative at short notice. Maybe you had to work overtime.
Although some people will tell you to be ruthless – protect your writing time at all costs – that simply isn't always realistic. Sometimes, other things do need to come first. But that doesn't mean you have to resign yourself to life always getting in the way of your goals.
Next time…
Allow some slack in your writing schedule. When things do go wrong, you'll have a back-up. That might mean getting ahead in a good week and "banking" words, or keeping three possible slots clear for writing when you only need two.
Much as I'd love my writing life, and yours, to always go according to plan … I know that' s just not how it works! If you're feeling frustrated because you didn't meet a target recently, or if you're worried about how to meet your future targets, I hope this post helps.
And remember: be proud of what you have achieved, even if it fell short of what you hoped for. If you like, share your recent successes (even if they started out as failures) in the comments below.

The scriptures tell us that life is fleeting. Even a long life passes by in what seems like an instant. Almost like a shooting star that streaks across the heavens. Look quickly or you'll miss it completely.
This being the case, the question in my mind is, "How do I make what little time I have count for something?" I wonder if part of the answer is to determine to give my very best to each moment, each opportunity as it comes along. If I do this, then the moments add up to days and the days to weeks and so on. Pretty soon, looking back at all the moments added up, I will see a life lived with as little regret as possible.
Only a handful of people make a significant enough impact on the world at large that their name is remembered past one generation. Yet the greatest impact may simply come by acknowledging the presence of God in every moment. And by doing so, leaving the indelible mark that only he can make as he works through you…moment by moment.

Discovering Something Better Than "Perfect"
"As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD's word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him." Psalm 18:30 (NIV)
In the beginning of my marriage, I believed my husband Barry was the luckiest man alive. After all, he had married me, a woman who was going to introduce him to one of the principle joys of life, a live Christmas tree.
In my mind, nothing could be more perfect than a live Christmas tree — certainly not the artificial ones he had experienced as a child!
Each year we went to the Christmas tree lot to search for a perfectly-shaped, fragrant live tree. We'd haul it home, put it in the Christmas tree holder filled with water and decorate our lovely evergreen, singing "O Tannenbaum" all the while. Okay, so maybe I'm embellishing a little, but suffice it to say having a live Christmas tree thrilled the HGTV corner of my heart.
There was one thing that made me very unhappy, however. Every Christmas, and I mean every Christmas, my darling husband was sick. The first Christmas, I attended to him with newlywed sweetness. The second Christmas, I tolerated him and brought him soup.
By the third Christmas of holiday sickness, I was just plain annoyed. What was wrong with the man? He was big and strapping and healthy. How could he become so weak and sickly and pitiful every year at Christmas? I began to make snide remarks under my breath like, "Maybe you're allergic to time with my family."
Sometime in that fourth year, Barry went to the doctor after another round of illness. A specialist had Barry lay on his stomach while he poked lots and lots of tiny needles in his back. As you may have guessed by now, the results revealed that my poor husband is allergic to almost every green living thing … including Christmas trees.
Because I believed live Christmas trees to be far superior to artificial trees, every year we dragged a beautiful, green, bushy deathtrap into our living room.
Because I came to believe Barry just didn't like the holidays much, I got snappy with him when he was sick.
Basically, because I believed the wrong things, I acted in wrong ways.
My belief about what's perfect, like my idea of the "perfect" Christmas tree, is often off-base. Over the years, when I've acted on those false beliefs, I've damaged relationships.
When I've believed I have to hide my flaws to be liked, I've kept friends at arm's length.
When I've believed my kids have to behave perfectly to make me the perfect mom, I've left all of us feeling as if we don't measure up.
When I've believed I can create a perfect facade with my stuff, my service and my competence, I've pursued goals that left me empty and lonely.
After years of struggling with my own perfection, I'm learning a new way. Here's the freeing truth I'm beginning to live: Only when I give up my own view of perfection can God begin His perfecting work in me. When I embrace God's true perfection, leaving the exhausting, destructive weight of my own perfection, I can take refuge in Him.
Amazingly, giving up my own view of perfectionism has improved not only my relationship with God, but also with others.
I'm more authentic with my friends, leading to greater closeness.
I'm more grace-filled with my kids, leading to more trust and better communication.
I'm not a live-Christmas-tree-fanatic anymore, so now Hubby and I curl up at Christmas in the glow of a plastic, pre-lit tree. It's just perfect. We're sniffle-free and happy.
I'm committed to choosing people over perfection. If you'll commit to the same thing, I promise you'll find something better than your view of "perfect."
Lord, please forgive me for pursuing my own perfection instead of finding refuge in Yours. As You faithfully forgive me, please draw me close to You. Restore my other relationships and help me to choose people over perfection. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Psalm 119:96, "To all perfection I see a limit, but your commands are boundless." (NIV)
2 Corinthians 12:9, "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." (NIV)

Round Lake Park man accused in burglaries in Third Lake, Wildwood
Lake County sheriff's police say they have captured a man accused of committing burglaries in Third Lake and unincorporated Wildwood.
Sheriff's police announced Friday that Johnathan J. Hacker, 34, of the 100 block of Main Street in Round Lake Park, was charged with residential burglary, six counts of burglary, theft over $500, three counts of identity theft and two counts of unlawful use of a credit card.
Hacker was seized by police Monday on an arrest warrant for unlawful use of credit card.
Police said Hacker went on his crime spree Aug. 20-23, burglarizing an unspecified number of houses and vehicles in Third Lake and Wildwood.
Leads for the case were developed through surveillance videos of a man believed to be Hacker using stolen credit cards. Police said Hacker was identified as being the one using the cards.
While in custody, authorities said, Hacker gave locations to investigators that helped them recover stolen goods. Police were unable to immediately say what Hacker is accused of taking.
Hacker was in the Lake County jail on Friday on $100,000 bail. He's to appear in Lake County court Wednesday, Sept. 24.

International Journal of Control, Automation, and Systems, vol. 15, no. 2, pp.498-505, 2017
Abstract : "This paper studies the mean square quadratic (MSQ) detectability for multi-output networked systems
over finite-state digital block-fading channels. The packet-loss rate of each digital fading channel depends on the
channel power gain, as well as packet length and power level used for transmission. A finite-state random process
is introduced to model time-varying fading channels, which characterizes various configurations of physical communication
environment and/or different channel fading amplitudes. Necessary and sufficient conditions for MSQ
detectability over finite-state Markov digital block-fading channels are given in the form of algebraic Riccati equations
or linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The estimation gain is given as a function of estimated/observed channel
state. In addition, explicit conditions on network for MSQ detectability over finite-state independent identically
distributed (i.i.d.) digital block-fading channels are presented in terms of the unstable poles of the multi-output
plant. Finally, an application to Gilbert-Elliott channels (GECs) is provided to demonstrate the derived results."
