Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia to Unveil Cross-Platform Opportunities for Marketers at Upfront Event
MSLO Greenlights New Unscripted Series "Help Me, Martha!" in Association with Mark Burnett Productions
Company Shares Vision for New Digital Magazine, Slate of Integrated Media Programs
Body + Soul Brand to Publish under Whole Living Title as Part of Cross-Platform Alignment
NEW YORK, March 4 -- At an upfront event to be held today at its New York City headquarters, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. (NYSE: MSO) will present 12 integrated cross-platform opportunities to reach MSLO's coveted audience of "women who do," women who are passionately engaged in all aspects of living -- from entertaining to cooking to decorating to living a well-balanced life -- and who take action.
As part of the presentation to marketers, MSLO also will preview a new eight-episode, unscripted series "Help Me, Martha!" in association with Mark Burnett Productions. The hour-long program will feature Martha Stewart and a new cast of home and lifestyle experts tasked with solving some of life's most difficult challenges in and around the home, at work or at play. The episodes will focus on everything from planning last-minute parties and home transformations to averting wedding disasters.
Mark Burnett, an award-winning television producer, has worked with Martha Stewart and MSLO on a number of TV projects, including Martha Stewart's syndicated daytime show, "The Martha Stewart Show," and "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart."
As part of the company's digital strategy, MSLO also plans to offer a first look at its vision for a digital magazine, scheduled to launch in late 2010. This special issue publication, entitled "Boundless Beauty," will provide users with touch-optimized navigation and will be able to support video as well as audio content. It will demonstrate the beauty of everyday living using innovative digital media to inform and inspire with extraordinary imagery that can be distributed on digital tablet devices.
These opportunities continue MSLO's momentum in the media marketplace. In January, MSLO and Hallmark Channel announced a multi-year strategic partnership to exclusively televise original episodes of the Emmy� Award-winning, popular daytime home and lifestyle series "The Martha Stewart Show" on Hallmark Channel beginning September 2010. As part of the agreement, MSLO will also develop a range of new and original series and prime time specials. In addition, MSLO recently announced a new relationship with ION Television, which will produce its first original non-scripted series, "The Emeril Lagasse Show," a new weekly, primetime, entertainment television show featuring celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse.
"What sets Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia apart is our unique ability to translate exceptional creativity seamlessly across multiple platforms," said Janet Balis, MSLO EVP of Media Sales & Marketing. "We are focused on offering marketers an unprecedented opportunity to reach 'women who do' -- dynamic, passionate women who we know take action based on the ideas and inspiration we provide. We take an idea-centric, platform-agnostic approach to developing programs for marketers. We also help them cultivate relationships with consumers who will make a difference to their business goals."
"Women are increasingly searching for better ways to live and work while enjoying family and friends. MSLO provides a tremendous amount of sensible and thoughtful solutions and information to those consumers," stated Founder Martha Stewart. "We're delighted to offer the creativity that is MSLO's signature to marketers who seek fresh ways to reach our desirable audiences and to connect with them across all of our media platforms."
Commenting on his new series with MSLO, Mark Burnett said: "Working with Martha on this new series was a natural evolution from our experience with 'The Martha Stewart Show.' It was clear to us that if we were going to go into people's homes and transform their lives that we had to do it with the help of experts who are the best in the business. And the best resource for that kind of talent is definitely Martha Stewart and the members of the MSLO family."
The company will also announce developments within the healthy living space, where its popular magazine, Body + Soul: Whole Living and its wholeliving.com website have been experiencing increasing strength among consumers. Over the past five years, the magazine's circulation has increased more than 200%, while traffic on wholeliving.com has grown 119% year-over-year. To better align the magazine with its popular wholeliving.com website and daily radio show "Whole Living" on Sirius XM's Martha Stewart Living Radio, MSLO will emphasize the "whole living" portion of the brand, and publish the magazine under the name Whole Living starting with the June 2010 issue. This will allow the company to further capitalize on opportunities across platforms.
Innovative, Customizable Cross-Platform Opportunities
MSLO's cross-platform opportunities provide integrated marketing solutions across its media that resonate with "women who do." Each concept provides a powerful starting point for the creative dialogue with marketers about how best to position and drive their brands. Some of the cross-platform concepts MSLO will discuss today include:
* "At Martha's Table" brings the world's finest chefs to the table every week. Across MSLO's media platforms, the world's finest chefs have a seat at the table, from MSLO's Emeril Lagasse, Lucinda Scala Quinn, and Sarah Carey to guests like Jamie Oliver and Lidia Bastianich. This promotional program includes segments on "The Martha Stewart Show," Emeril's weekly satellite radio show, special event programming on Martha Stewart Living Radio with talent including Mario Batali, Anthony Bourdain, and Eric Ripert, as well as a new original Web series that will feature Emeril Lagasse. MSLO will also provide an opportunity to partner on holiday hotlines and live broadcasts based at the country's most important food festivals where consumers can get expert tips and techniques that can be used at home.
* "Martha Celebrates America" will discover treasures in towns across the country. MSLO will tap its audience to find treasures that are uniquely American--people, places, and things that are special to their hometowns. This summer, consumers will submit photos and videos of their local favorites, creating the ultimate treasure map and enabling users to rank and rate one another's finds online. Then, on "The Martha Stewart Show," Martha will surprise one lucky town when she celebrates her newest discovery with a special event.
* "Cooking for Kids" celebrates the joy of cooking for family. MSLO's Emeril Lagasse will "kick it up a notch" in the kitchen as he cooks with E.J., his adorable seven-year-old son, every month in Everyday Food. Family fun will also be a big part of the entertainment on "The Emeril Lagasse Show" premiering this spring on ION Network. On marthastewart.com and emerils.com, picky eaters will find playful games and their moms will find recipes to keep everyone happy. And in the pages of Whole Living, consumers will discover ideas for family excursions, including a trip to the local farmers' market.
* With "Local, Seasonal, Fresh" MSLO will help consumers discover farm-fresh flavor one vegetable at a time. Across MSLO media, from our magazines, and marthastewart.com to our television shows, MSLO will share its distinctive perspective on how consumers can realize the full potential of fresh ingredients. The message will travel coast to coast as Emeril launches his latest book, Farm to Fork, with a national book tour in June.
* To mark "Martha Stewart Living Magazine's 20th anniversary" in December 2010, MSLO will kick off a year of celebration in the magazine, along with new retail events and special television programming on Hallmark Channel. The multiplatform celebration will look back over the past two decades of American living, and look forward with innovative ideas for the years ahead.
* "Into Your Cart" offers everyday recipes and meal-planning ideas. Across its magazines, on its television shows Everyday Food, "The Martha Stewart Show," and "The Emeril Lagasse Show," and through "Martha's Everyday Food" iPhone app, MSLO helps consumers put everything they need "into their cart" to make everyday food even better and easier.

For someone with chronic lung disease, visits with the doctor are vital for good health. Encourage your loved one to take the lead in his or her care. Then be there to give support as needed. Work closely with the healthcare team. Make sure all appointments are kept. Also help ensure treatment instructions are followed.
Many healthcare providers can be involved in treating chronic lung disease. Get to know these providers. This will help you feel better about asking questions.
A pulmonologist. This person offers special knowledge about lung problems. He or she may work with a primary care doctor to guide the treatment plan.
A respiratory therapist. He or she evaluates breathing skills and teaches breathing techniques to improve symptoms.
A physical therapist. He or she teaches energy-saving techniques and oversees exercise and physical activity.
Nurses. Nurses assist with all types of care. They can help answer questions and put treatment plans into action.
A social worker or case manager. He or she helps with paperwork and answers questions about healthcare issues. A social worker can also provide referrals to needed services.
A pharmacist. This person fills prescriptions. He or she also provides information about medications and how to take them safely.

Keep track of changes in symptoms, diet, and physical activity.
Prepare a list of questions and concerns. Make sure these are addressed before you leave the doctor's office.

Try to learn about your loved one's treatment. This helps you support good care habits. Here are some common treatments:
Medications. These help manage symptoms of chronic lung disease. Learn the names of any medications given. Learn how they work and when they are taken. Some medications need a special device. This may be an inhaler or nebulizer. Know how to use these devices.
Oxygen therapy. This helps improve breathing. If oxygen is needed, make sure all safety guidelines are followed.
Pulmonary rehabilitation (rehab). This trains patients on topics such as exercise, emotional support, and managing symptoms. Team members often include doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, and physical therapists. When able, attend sessions with your loved one.

Joe Calhoun's blog -- Temperature turn around
After a warmer than normal start to winter, it's certainly turned much colder in recent weeks.
December was 4.9 degrees above the long-term average and January came in 2.8 degrees above normal. During February we started to feel the chill with the second month averaging 1.1 degrees colder than average. That has continued into March and now into the beginning of Spring.
So far this month, we're a degree and a half colder than normal. Why the change? Well, it looks more like a winter pattern now than it did all winter.
Earlier in the winter, high pressure was over the southeast and eastern U.S. with a trough or dip in the jet stream over the west and Rockies. So, in the Susquehanna Valley we had a southwest flow of mild air.
You often here the Storm Team talk about "blocking" during the winter. Well, that blocking was not there in December and January, but it has developed over the past few weeks.
High pressure has built into the North Atlantic and eastern Canada. As a result the downstream flow has buckled over the eastern U.S. and now we're in a cold, winter-like pattern.
I don't see much change through Easter. While not a high likelihood, I think there is a better chance we see snow than temperatures in the 60s.

I'll do this in bullets. I'm not feeling really well. Woke up past noon. Sheesh. Maybe I'll elaborate when I'm feeling better.
- I'm staying home (Malabon) all day today. We already prayed for our dead relatives last night before my Aunt and cousins went home.
- They (Aunt and cousins) went to QC to attend the Halloween party and Trick or Treat, the first for my niece Tori. She had a blast being "Princess Mumu", more like Black Bride to me because they did not put make-up on her anymore :) I still think she should have won the best costume award, hmp. Will look at and post some pictures later.
- It's good that the weather is cooperating. Not too hot, neither too cold. It's always like this every year at this time on this part of the world. (side: Our friend Mae is experiencing her first winter season, rather early snow in Fall, in NJ. Hey girl, you ready with your UGG Boots, yet?)
- We had Kare-kare for lunch, courtesy of MIL. Yum.
- Today is our monthsary -- as Hunnies and married couple. I already stopped counting the number of months, LOL! We count annually na (yata). Nothing special to do. We're both stuck sitting in front of the PC (him) and Ivy (me), not even talking LOL! I hope he'll bring me home ice cream later, hehe..
- He's going to the cemetery later with his parents to visit their dead relatives' graves. Won't go with them anymore cos they might stay late outside and it might rain.
- Today is Digital Scrapbooking Day. I'm trying to snub the digiworldwide sales this weekend. I need to save. I just bought a grab bag (which includes a gorgeous kit, no regrets!) the other day. Shhhhhhhh...
- I wanna scrap!!!

If you want to survive in the game of sports betting, Football Match Tips in Review then you have to use effective money management. I recommend that you follow these guidelines at all times.
- Only invest what you can realistically afford to lose. Soccer Draw Predictions For Today you have to remember that you really do not need to start with al a lot of money. I got started with only $100 dollars and I followed the system and my money has doubled over and over again over the course of years.
- Do not make your initial bet too high. Only invest 5% of your total bankroll for a flat betting system (in which you bet the same amount each time) and no more than 2% for a progressive system. You need to be patient here and allow your systems to do their slow and steady work.
- Increase your initial bets when your bankroll has increased by 25%. This will increase your earning power, Football Match Tips just remember to stick to the suggested percentages in #2.
- Remember to Diversify your portfolio. If you have a total bankroll of $1000 and 4 systems that you would like to use, then each system should be allotted $250 and you have to keep those amounts separate.
You have to be disciplined in your use of your systems and in your money management strategy. It can be difficult especially you are doing exceptionally well or if you are losing badly. You may be tempted to deviate from the systems or the money management guidelines in either of those situations. But do not, Possible Predictions For Todays Football Matches just remain diligent and the rewards are sure to follow.
Football Match Tips in Review?
Betting on horse racing does not mean that you have to be present right there on the racetrack. Today, you can place your bet online and in the comfort of your home.
This is the power of technology. Nowadays, everything can be found online. All people need to have is a computer and an online connection and they will be able to see the race action live on their small screen.
Even if it is not as good as the live one or as big as the ones you will see on television, it is very convenient for those who are on the move and do not have the right facilities for it. Just think. You will never again miss the action. You will have a minute-by-minute account on the race that is going on. Besides that, you will know first-hand if the horse you are betting on will win or not.
How does betting horse racing online works?
There are some sites that just need you to register into them and put in your deposit. Once the result is out, your losses or winnings will be debited or credited into your account.
Not all websites are like this though. There are those that require its would-be members to pay an initial fee. Some even require monthly charges depending on the frequency of your visit and stay.
Even if the betting horse racing is done online, the rules and regulations are still the same. The types of bets and race conditions are also the same as the ones you will see and get live.
Since the process is done through computers, you can expect a short delay on the tally of your bets based on the overall betting system. For those who cannot wait for the update, they are given a choice of the statistics to be sent directly to their cell phones.
But with the advantages that people get from betting horse racing online comes its disadvantages. They may be minors but it is still worth the glance.
1. Unsatisfying experience.
Some people find that nothing can compare to the feeling that they get when they are on the racetrack and is part of the action. You cannot really get that same feeling when you are just there watching it on screen.
Most of those who bet on this sport are after the excitement of seeing the race from start to finish. They still want to shout and cheer with the rest of the crowd gathered there on the stadium.
2. Miniscule screen.
Being confined in the small screen of your computer, you will not get a view of what is happening in the whole event. You will just rely on where and what the camera is focusing on. This is a total turn off for those who want to see every corner and every move around the racetrack.
Those who are intent on having a better view of the horse race choose to have their own satellite TV in their home to get a bigger and better view of the live happening in the racetrack.
3. Computer system problems.
Slow computers and outdated hardware installed in your computers are one of the factors that will hinder your betting horse racing online experience. If you do not have the most advanced features, do not expect your viewing to be as great as it should be.

Wasn't it me that predicted that Twins manager Ron Gardenhire would be the first baseball manager to be shown the door in 2006? Yes I also think that Barry Bonds is being unfairly accused of using performance enhancing drugs? No Gardenhire is doing just fine these days as he and his troops prepare for a crucial three game set in the Twin Cities tonight.
Minnesota (59-41) has won 34 of 42 since June 8 to cut what was an 11-game deficit in the wild card to a half-game.
"We're just playing really good baseball," said manager Ron Gardenhire, whose team was 25-33 nearly seven weeks ago. "People keep talking about the streak we're on, but streaks don't last two months or a month and a half."
The Twins caught the struggling Chicago White Sox, who have led the wild-card race for most of the season, by completing a three-game sweep with a 7-4 victory Wednesday. Minnesota and Chicago are right behind the New York Yankees, who open a three-game home set against Tampa Bay on Friday night.
The Tigers under veteran skipper Jim Leyland have maintained their composure and now must deal with the newest phenom in the American League and that would be none other then rookie pitcher Francisco Liariano. The Twins look to keep rolling Friday behind Liriano (12-2, 1.93 ERA), who pitched poorly against the Tigers in two relief outings this season, allowing seven runs and 11 hits in 3 2-3 innings for a 17.18 ERA.
Since being moved into the rotation, though, the rookie left-hander has become a leading contender for the CY Young Award, going 11-2 with a 1.59 ERA in 13 starts. Minnesota is 2-7 this season against Detroit and has been outscored 64-25. In a three-game sweep from April 28-30 at Comerica Park, the Twins were outscored 33-1. The Tigers (68-33) have the best record in the major leagues, and their 30-13 mark against divisional opponents is also tops in baseball. Detroit leads the AL Central by 8 1/2 games over Minnesota and Chicago.
The question mark for all contending teams is the starting pitching and the Tigers send a struggling Zach Miner to the hill tonight. Miner has lasted only 6 2-3 combined innings and given up 10 earned runs in losing both of his starts since the break. In his first seven starts after being recalled in early June, the right-hander was 6-1 with a 2.57 ERA and didn't allow more than three runs in a game.
Detroit gave Miner a five-run lead after one inning Saturday against Oakland, but he surrendered five runs in the top of the second and was pulled after a season-low 2 1-3 innings of a 9-5 loss.
Detroit has lost 9 of the past 12 in Minnesota and will be a dog tonight!

Eight-man bullpen a possibility to begin season
DUNEDIN, Fla. -- The Blue Jays are at least contemplating the thought of once again starting the season with an eight-man bullpen.
Toronto has a series of tough decisions to make with its starting rotation and bullpen. There's a long list of players who are out of Minor League options on their contracts, and carrying an extra reliever could be one way to help alleviate the problem.
The Blue Jays started last season with eight relievers, and that type of scenario will be considered when the club makes its final cuts at the end of March.
"If everyone is throwing the ball that well and we don't want to expose anyone to waivers or we don't want to trade someone and not get full value, we could go to an eight-man bullpen," general manager Alex Anthopoulos told reporters Thursday morning.
"It's not ideal, but we've definitely done it before, so we could do that. And that would be a good problem to have. I hope everybody throws the ball unbelievably well. I hate saying this, but the reality of it is, there will be some guys that don't perform. There will be some guys that get hurt. Nobody's hurt right now, knock on wood, but we have five, six weeks -- everyone has something that goes on in Spring Training. A lot of that takes care of itself by the end of camp."
Health will certainly be a factor, but if everyone gets through camp unscathed, it will be up to Anthopoulos and manager John Gibbons to make the tough decision.
Esmil Rogers, Todd Redmond, Luis Perez and Jeremy Jeffress are among those who are competing for jobs but cannot be sent to the Minor Leagues without first being exposed to waivers. Casey Janssen, Sergio Santos and Brett Cecil also are out of options, but they should have guaranteed jobs heading into the regular season.
Outfielder Moises Sierra is out of options as well, and an eight-man bullpen could potentially have a direct impact on his future with the organization. Sierra is competing for the final spot on the bench, but if the Blue Jays really wanted to keep him in the fold it's also possible he could make the team over Anthony Gose as Toronto's fourth outfielder.
The Blue Jays ideally would start the season with a seven-man bullpen, but carrying an extra reliever could be at least a short-term fix. It's a lot easier to sneak a player through waivers at the start of the season when other teams have finalized their rosters and are more hesitant to make an additional move.
"It's going to be a factor," Anthopoulos said when asked if options will dictate which players make the team. "Right now we can't carry everybody. ... But based on past Spring Trainings, I don't know that anybody ever stays completely healthy or has great performances the entire way.
"The only two guys that have options are Steve Delabar and Aaron Loup, and they were such a huge part of our bullpen that I'd be extremely surprised to ever see a change with those guys. You still have to go out and perform. It's a great problem to have; I'd much rather be in that position than say we have three or four guys and we're looking to add someone in Spring Training."

About this website
The International Council on Human Rights Policy (ICHRP) closed down in February 2012. This is a web-archive of the 14 years of work of the ICHRP.
It provides free access to the full archive of ICHRP's publications: over 35 reports and summaries and 200 working papers—mostly in English but also in Spanish, French and other languages—covering a wide range of human rights policy issues. On this site you can download all publications and learn more the projects of the ICHRP. You can browse by year, language, or type of document.
Introducing ICHRP
The ICHRP was first conceived in 1994 by a group of eminent human rights advocates, scholars and policy makers, to address the dilemmas and challenges of translating international human rights principles and standards into policy realities. Between 1998 and 2012 it undertook thirty-five major research projects addressing a wide range of policy questions and providing a forum for applied research, reflection and forward thinking.
The ICHRP identified issues that impeded the promotion and protection of human rights in policy-making across the globe, and proposed strategies to overcome these obstacles. It stimulated co-operation and exchange across the non-governmental, governmental and intergovernmental sectors, and strove to mediate between competing perspectives and communities of practice.
ICHRP's intellectual autonomy, willingness to engage with complexity, readiness to break boundaries of discipline and practice, and commitment to rigour and collaboration continues to render its work, approach and contributions relevant.

My name is Daniel, and I'm a 17-year-old from the wonderful east coast of the USA. I'm interested in a lot of things, including (but not limited to) viola, piano, paintings, movies, fashion, decorating, make-up design, nails, shopping, languages (Spanish, Japanese, Arabic), cooking, teaching, and editing.
I don't actually release my AMVs anymore. I haven't really had the inspiration to sit down and make one in, oh, two years. I'm definately going to do something for Yaoicon next year, as I will be in attendance, and possibly some small projects I've had going in my head for quite some time. I just feel like AMVs aren't really taken seriously anymore, and that a "good AMV" is one that hits every beat in the song with a flash, lens flare, or effect. Excuse me while I go cringe in the corner.
My top 10 doesn't really reflect anything new that I've seen recently. They're all videos which, for some reason or another, have had an impact on me. I recommend you watch the ones that are still available for download, as you may learn a thing or two about me.
To be honest, my videos aren't particularly very good. I don't like spending a lot of time fighting over little cuts to the proper beat, but more like to concentrate on achieving the proper mood for the piece itself. I also don't check my star ratings or opinions anymore, so if you leave them, I'll probably read them on a rainy day 5 years from now.

Pancreatic Cancer: A Stubborn Foe
Because the organ is located deep inside the abdomen, disease symptoms can be tough to detect
THURSDAY, Oct. 6, 2011 (HealthDay News) -- The death of Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Jobs has once again focused attention on cancers of the pancreas, which have claimed the lives of several high-profile celebrities.
Jobs' tumor was actually one with a better prognosis than the pancreatic cancer that quickly killed actors Michael Landon and Patrick Swayze.
In fact, the type of cancer that Jobs had -- called neuroendocrine pancreas tumor -- afflicts only some 1,000 people a year in the United States, compared to the 40,000 cases of the far more lethal "traditional" pancreatic cancer, the fourth leading cause of cancer death of Americans.
Some 50 percent to 60 percent of people with neuroendocrine tumors will be alive five years after their diagnosis, vs. only 5 percent to 10 percent of patients with traditional pancreatic cancer, said Dr. Daniel Labow, chief of surgical oncology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.
Neuroendocrine tumors often start in the pancreas but more commonly appear first in the small intestine and, less commonly, in the appendix, stomach and rectum, Labow said.
The pancreas is situated deep inside the abdomen, between the stomach and the spine. It has two main functions: an exocrine function that helps with digestion and an endocrine function that regulates blood sugar, according to Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons.
Because the pancreas is positioned deep inside the body, it's often difficult to diagnose tumors early because they have yet to interfere with the function of nearby organs such as the stomach, liver or gallbladder, according to Johns Hopkins University.
Neuroendocrine tumors originate in cells that make hormones, triggering hormone overproduction. The mainstay of treatment is surgery, and sometimes injections to block the hormones. Traditional chemotherapy is rarely effective, Labow said.
Liver transplants are also often necessary and, in the past year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved two new drugs for neuroendocrine tumors -- sunitinib and everolimus.
While Jobs lived eight years with his diagnosis, the average survival time for advanced pancreatic cancer is much worse, roughly only eight or nine months, said Dr. Maged Rizk, a gastroenterologist with the Cleveland Clinic.
Because traditional pancreatic tumors tend to be diagnosed later, rather than sooner, that's a big reason why they're so deadly, Rizk added.
"If the tumor is in the head of the pancreas, then there's a high chance that it will cause obstruction in the bile duct, the patient will turn yellow and have an infection so we pick it up earlier than if it's in the tail, where the chance of it causing symptoms is less," Rizk explained.
Also, he said, the pancreas pushes up against blood vessels and lymph nodes, making it easier for cancer cells to invade these systems and travel throughout the body.
On the other hand, neuroendocrine tumors are distressing because they tend to afflict people in their 30s and 40s (Jobs was diagnosed in his late 40s), whereas the average age at diagnosis for pancreatic cancer is 60, Labow said.
Risk factors for neuroendocrine tumors are largely unknown. Risk factors for pancreatic cancer include not only age, but cigarette smoking, obesity, diabetes and race -- blacks are more likely to develop the disease than whites.

Arizona's Angelo Chol to transfer after watching minutes drop as a sophomore
TUCSON, Ariz. – Arizona forward Angelo Chol is transferring after seeing his minutes decline last season as a sophomore.
Chol has yet to decide which school to transfer to, according to the school.
A 6-foot-9 power forward, Chol was part of coach Sean Miller's stellar 2011 recruiting class and was a regular in the rotation as a freshman.
But Miller signed another top recruiting class before last season, one that included three of the top incoming big men, and Chol's minutes dropped.
Chol averaged 1.9 points in 28 games in 2012-13, playing 8.5 minutes per game.
Forward Grant Jerrett, part of Arizona's 2012 class, declared for the NBA draft last month.

Very pretty and colorful :)
And so good to know we are robed in Christ's righteouness. Beauty for sure!
Beautiful pictures, Amrita! I have always loved the lovely fabrics and graceful draping of the traditional Indian ladies' clothes. It is hard to imagine how our heavenly garments could be more beautiful than that, but it will be exciting to find out some day!
Oh, those are so beautiful! You don't see things like that here in the U.S. (Or at least not where I shop!) Thank you for sharing these.
And yes, won't those white robes be lovely?
Love your blog. Found you from Mothers Pride blog. Blessings!
Hi Amrita
Very beautifully and this post, marvellous your photographs with the buckrams from silk, but also the traditional dress!
Dear Amrita,
wonderful fabric, wonderful patterns, and superb embroideries.
Some classy culture.
Your thermometer showed 20 Celsius degrees.
If we get lucky ,we'll experience fem or six days like that in July!!
Then I were next to nothing and stay at the beach all day.
Daughter Serina is leaving for Azerbaijan just aster Pass-Over.
I plan to send some money with her to buy me some silk.
I adore silk fabric. Azerbaijan is situated along the ancient silk road to the Far East.
Her school is running a modern orphanage there. They are collecting money in Norway and have built a miniature village in Azerbaijan where the staff are locals and even the parents of the "orphans" are allowed to leave with their abandoned children, make some money and regain some dignity.
I'm proud my spoiled Serina is supporting this long-time project.
She stood collecting money early one morning on the railway station amd was spited and mocked because of her trying to contribute to improve a few people's life.
Oh, we have indeed become selfish.
Yours Felisol
Such beautiful fabrics Amrita. Cotton for summer sounds lovely.
hi amrita,
beautiful clothes from different parts of our wonderful and diverse country.i liked the way you linked your thoughts to the heavenly rob.God be with you.
Beautiful....I was thinking of you this evening as I sat at church and we watched the movie "Water" about the plight of widows in India......we are having movies every Friday night during Lent that cause us to reflect and think about the possibility of transformation. I had seen the film before but it is so powerful that each time I have seen it there are new thoughts....
Lovely work, Amrita - and beautifully displayed. Indian fabrics are just amazing.
It is so nice to see the cloth from your region. I packed all of my fabrics away for the move. I love all the glorious colors.
What beautiful fabrics!
Amrita!! SOOO gorgeous! I have a tapestry hung on my living room wall made from the neckilines of women's dresses...it is sooo beautiful! Hope lll is well with you! Sorry I have not been better at communicating with you! I have limited internet access these days! God bless you sister!

San Francisco Bridge to Become Stunning Light Show
The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge is gearing up to become the world's largest light sculpture when a new art exhibit comes to the landmark in the near future.
Designed by artist Leo Villareal, more than 25,000 white LED lights will be displayed across the bridge starting on March 5, and will be lit from dusk until midnight for two years. The individually programmed lights will create stunning designs and patterns across its 1.8 mile span as part of a massive light show. The move is in part to celebrate the bridge's 75th anniversary.
Installing the LED light system has been no easy task. Electricians started working in October to carefully attach strings of lights to the cables on the bridge. The energy-efficient lights will be inexpensive to power, according to TheBayLights.org — in fact, it will cost only about $30 a day to run them.
Although the installation will cost about $8 million, it's supposed to boost the local economy by about $97 million in those two years.

Woolies to test meat after 'sensationalised media report'
AUSTRALIAN supermarket giant Woolworths will test an imported product for traces of horse meat for "customer peace of mind" following what the company has described as "sensationalised media reports" on a frozen food scandal in the UK.
Frozen lasagnes and burger patties sold in UK supermarkets were found to contain horse meat when tests were carried out earlier this month.
The products were imported from Germany and Switzerland and have since been removed from UK shelves.
A Woolworths spokesperson said on Thursday the company sourced 100% of its fresh meat from Australian producers.
The spokesman said the Own Brand ready meals at the centre of the UK controversy were not imported to Australia.
One product, sourced from New Zealand, will be tested but the spokesperson said they had confidence in the supply chain and the process was simply for customer peace of mind.
"We have a robust traceability process in place and we have no reason to suspect there are any issues with Woolworths Own Brand products," the spokesperson said
"Any meat used in Woolworths Own Brand products is subject to strict certification, government verification and issuing of permits to allow importation from approved countries only."
Aldi chains in Europe were forced to recall lasagne but the company's Australian spokesperson told News Ltd the lasagne sold in its stores contained Australian beef only and was different to the product sold in the UK.
The Department of Agriculture has confirmed no permits have been issued to importers for goods implicated in the horse meat scandal.

Olivewood Mach 3 Razor Shaving Handle (Handmade in USA) O2
This Olivewood Mach 3 razor shaving handle was hand turned in my shop. The Mach 3 head is chrome and contains high quality internal parts. This handle is interchangeable with all Mach 3 replacement cartridges. The handle with Mach 3 blade attached is 6" long. The Mach 3 pictured is the one you will receive.
The shaving razor's finish (Cyanoacrylate--i.e., Superglue) is durable, highly polished cannot be penetrated by water. When using the razor, you can get the handle as wet as you want during use and not worry about the wood being damaged. To maintain the finish you just need to wipe it dry after each use. Don't buy a handmade razor unless you know exactly what is used for the finish. I make hundreds of custom razors each year and this is the only finish that will last for years in the tough shaving environment.
The handle on this Mach 3 razor is solid wood. Most of the Mach 3's sold on Etsy are kits that use a hollow brass tube for the mass of the handle with only a thin layer of wood covering the hollow tube. Before buying a handmade Mach 3, make sure you know what you are buying.
My Mach 3 razors are made one at a time by me at a pace that allows for the crafting of a unique and beautiful addition to your home or collection. These items make great gifts for those hard to get men and women in your life.
Shipping via USPS. International buyers welcomed. VAT/Customs fees are the responsibility of the buyer and are not included in the shipping cost. PayPal preferred. Please ask questions before buying. Your business is always very much appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Both Katy Perry and Lady Gaga have released songs featuring a healthy dose of saxophone, prompting speculation as to whether 2011 will be the year that the instrument — invariably played by the hot guy in your high school jazz band — makes its big comeback. We're not sure two songs are enough to call a trend, but we're ready to embrace a sax resurgence any day.
Need more proof? We think Jon Hamm's turn as "Sergio" on Saturday Night Live and the Lost Boys' saxophone scene that inspired the sketch should be enough. But if you require more sax, Buzzfeed has put together a nice collection of the sax's greatest hits.

Prominent University of Adelaide climate scientist Professor Barry Brook says it's inevitable that Australia will embrace nuclear energy in the battle against greenhouse gas emissions.
The director of climate science at the university believes that by the end of the century, Australia will need at least 100 gigawatts of electricity coming from nuclear to replace coal, oil and gas sources.
Professor Brook says that given the inevitability of nuclear energy in this country, the current pro-versus-anti nuclear debate needs instead to focus on what kind of nuclear reactor will best serve our needs. His suggestion is that we should be considering IFR – integral fast reactor – technology.
"Integral Fast Reactors are much more efficient at extracting energy from uranium, can use existing nuclear waste for fuel, produce far smaller volumes of waste that does not require long-term geological isolation, and can be operated at low cost and high reliability," he says.
IFR advocates also promote their safety: they are convection-cooled using liquid metal coolants rather than high-pressure water, protecting against a Fukushima-style catastrophe.
While it's certain that Brook will have to field criticism from Australia's anti-nuclear activists, he's certainly not alone as a "pro-nuclear environmentalist": Climate Commissioner Tim Flannery is on the record as saying that if it's a choice between coal and nuclear, the latter should always win: "the dangers of coal as a fuel source … are in my opinion greater than nuclear power".
However, Flannery believes Australia's abundance of renewable sources make it unlikely that nuclear power will ever get a foothold here – in contrast to China, which will be simply unable to deliver the energy its population requires. ®

In all of the commotion surrounding Konami's upcoming documentary-style combat game Six Days In Fallujah, we hadn't actually learned what platforms the game was coming to. Now we know.
Konami officially announced the development of the already controversial game today, revealing that the title is in development for the usual current-generation suspects - the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. An odd oversight, considering we've posted four different stories on the game since the first reveal, but when your concept makes this much noise I suppose it is easy for the little details to get lost.

This sketch above became this finished painting below
The Pine Tree Painter.
How did I become known as the Pine Tree Painter? You could say I paint a lot of Pine Trees, that would be true. I paint a lot of other things too, but Pine Trees, Spruce Trees, Birch and others seem to be a continuous string in what i do. I just like the way they stand there like a custodian of the land. or a greeter to nature. So, I continue down the path with the Pine Tree Painter name on my head, It's ok.

The gallbladder is a small organ under your liver. It is on the upper right side of your belly or abdomen. The gallbladder stores a digestive juice called bile which is made in the liver.
There are 2 types of surgery to remove the gallbladder:
A laparoscopic cholecystectomy is less invasive. That means it uses very small incisions in your belly. There is less bleeding. The recovery time is usually shorter than an open surgery.
In some cases the laparoscope may show that your gallbladder is very diseased. Or it may show other problems. Then the surgeon may have to use an open surgery method to remove your gallbladder safely.
A cholecystectomy may be done if your gallbladder:
Gallbladder problems may cause pain which:
Other symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, fever, and chills.
The symptoms of gallbladder problems may look like other health problems. Always see your healthcare provider to be sure.
Your healthcare provider may have other reasons to recommend a cholecystectomy.
Some possible complications of a cholecystectomy may include:
During a laparoscopic procedure, surgical tools are put into your belly. This may hurt your intestines or blood vessels.
You may have other risks that are unique to you. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider before the procedure.
You may have a cholecystectomy as an outpatient or as part of your stay in a hospital. The way the surgery is done may vary depending on your condition and your healthcare provider's practices.
A cholecystectomy is generally done while you are given medicines to put you into a deep sleep (under general anesthesia).
Generally, a cholecystectomy follows this process:
After the procedure, you will be taken to the recovery room to be watched. Your recovery process will depend on the type of surgery and the type of anesthesia you had. Once your blood pressure, pulse, and breathing are stable and you are awake and alert, you will be taken to your hospital room.
A laparoscopic cholecystectomy may be done on an outpatient basis. In this case, you may be discharged home from the recovery room.
You will get pain medicine as needed. A nurse may give it to you. Or you may give it to yourself through a device connected to your IV (intravenous) line.
You may have a thin plastic tube that goes through your nose into your stomach. This is to remove air that you swallow. The tube will be taken out when your bowels are working normally. You won't be able to eat or drink until the tube is removed.
You may have 1 or more drains in the incision if an open procedure was done. The drains will be removed in a day or so. You might be discharged with the drain still in and covered with a dressing. Follow your provider's instructions for taking care of it.
You will be asked to get out of bed a few hours after a laparoscopic procedure or by the next day after an open procedure.
Depending on your situation, you may be given liquids to drink a few hours after surgery. You will slowly be able to eat more solid foods as tolerated.
Arrangements will be made for a follow-up visit with your provider. This is usually 2 to 3 weeks after surgery.
Once you are home, it's important to keep the incision clean and dry. Your provider will give you specific bathing instructions. If stitches or surgical staples are used, they will be removed during a follow-up office visit. If adhesive strips are used, they should be kept dry and usually will fall off within a few days.
The incision and your abdominal muscles may ache, especially after long periods of standing. If you had a laparoscopic surgery, you may feel pain from any carbon dioxide gas still in your belly. This pain may last for a few days. It should feel a bit better each day.
Take a pain reliever as recommended by your provider. Aspirin or other pain medicines may raise your risk of bleeding. Be sure to take only medicines your healthcare provider has approved.
Walking and limited movement are generally fine. But you should avoid strenuous activity. Your provider will tell you when you can return to work and go back to normal activities.
Call your provider if you have any of the following:
Before you agree to the test or the procedure make sure you know:

87 years, 8,749 feet: Canadian is oldest man to reach Guadalupe's peak
Vic Jircik may be approaching 90, but he hasn't let his age slow him down. Last Friday, the 87-year-old World War II veteran became the oldest man to successfully complete the strenuous hike to the highest point in Texas, according to Guadalupe Mountains National Park staff.
Jircik was raised in Cleveland, Texas, and was attending a family reunion the week before Easter when he decided to attempt the 3,000-foot hike to the 8,749-foot high Guadalupe Peak. He had done it once before at least 15 years ago, he said, but knew it was a mountain he wanted to climb again. It took Jircik and his companion Lou Pesta four hours to hike up the mountain and four and a half to hike back down.
"I appreciate the trail. That was the best laid-out hike I've ever been on," Jircik said. And he would know. He's been living in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, since 1957, and hiking the Canadian Rockies and other mountain ranges for the last 45 years.
Jircik and Pesta do most of their hiking together, and Jircik said their story begins with his involvement in WWII from 1944-46 - and a little bit of fate.
"I was in Patton's Army, and we liberated Pilsen, Czech Republic," Jircik said. Several years later, he was hiking in the mountains of Banff, Alberta, and exchanged a few words with Pesta, 54, who was also hiking in the area. Jircik discovered that Pesta had been born in Pilsen, and the two hit it off. Jircik said if he hadn't met Pesta when he did, he when he did, he would've kept hiking and walked right into a grizzly bear.
"We've climbed over 60 mountains together in the Canadian Rockies," Pesta said. "We actually did a mountain about twice the elevation height of Guadalupe - Mt. Temple in the Lake Louise of the Canadian Rockies - when he (Jircik) was 82. I thought that was quite an accomplishment, but at 87 to do Guadalupe Peak is quite an accomplishment as well."
And though Jircik said he's in excellent shape for a man his age, he said knows his lungs may not
be able to handle elevations around 9,000 feet any longer. The road to Guadalupe Peak wasn't an easy one this time around. In fact, Jircik described it as "horrible."
"This was our first hike of the year, and it felt like the meat was peeling off the bones," Jircik said. He and Pesta try to do about 15 hikes for a total of 20,000-30,000 vertical feet a year, but they usually begin in May and hike throughout the summer months.
"I'm not a fanatic on exercise, but I walk 30 minutes a day three times a week in the winter," Jircik said. He also tries to eat proper healthy foods, though he said he does allow himself to enjoy the occasional beer, especially with his Czech friends after a long hike.
As a retired consulting petroleum geologist, Jircik said he has always loved nature and the outdoors, and part of the reason he loves hiking is for the flowers.
"The Alpine flowers are just out of this world, once you get in these Alpine meadows around 8,000 feet," Jircik said of the Canadian Rockies. All he saw from Guadalupe Peak was cactus upon cactus, but said he still enjoyed the view - and the lack of snakes.
Jircik said Guadalupe Peak was truly an accomplishment at his age, but he's not letting it be his last one. He has definite plans to continue hiking. His knees and legs have yet to fail him, and until they do, Jircik said he'll continue to enjoy nature by viewing it from thousands of feet high in the sky.

From The Rifle Citizen Telegram (Nelson Harvey):
In Western Colorado…all thoughts are on the ongoing drought…
"To go through a second year like 2012 would definitely be tough," said Ken Kuhns, who manages Peach Valley Community Supported Agriculture Farm near Silt with his wife, Gail, growing about six acres of mixed vegetables, flowers and fruit. "We've learned that we need those mid-summer rains."
Although Peach Valley enjoys decent rights to water from a nearby ditch, Kuhns said the drought certainly affected last year's production. He plants spinach in the fall for early spring harvest, and harvested about 100 pounds of it last spring, compared to 600 pounds the year before. "A lot of that was due to moisture," he said.
As of Feb. 7, snowpack in the Colorado River basin hovered around 60 percent of average. That's about where it stood at the same time last year. But that was before the scorching summer heat depleted millions of gallons of water from area reservoirs.
"I think this drought is going to last us longer than the one in 2002, and that's because the reservoirs are all empty," said Paul Bernklau, a retired rancher from Rifle and a former president of the Colorado Cattlemen's Association. "Many people don't realize how close Colorado is to being out of water." Bernklau is a seasoned drought-watcher. It was during the drought of 2002 that he was forced to sell out of the cattle industry.
"Getting out was the only smart move I made in the cattle business," he joked. "A lot of ranchers in the area had to sell out that year."
From the Sky-Hi Daily News (Tonya Bina):
At 61 percent, the [Colorado River Basin] got off to a slow start in terms of snowpack and subsequent reservoir volumes, according to information provided by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. As of Jan. 1, Colorado's statewide snowpack was at 70 percent of average. The winter season thus far has been dominated by high pressure weather systems and a jet stream that has not cooperated…
Overall, the Colorado River basin shows 69 percent of average for snowpack. Total snow accumulation ranges from 82 percent of average in the Yampa and White River basins to 61 percent of average in the Arkansas basin. In general, the Colorado River basin has a slightly better snowpack than last year at this time, while the southern basins in the state are receiving less snow this year compared with last year.

Point Of Reference
This story appears in the June 1997 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
An employee you fired has given your name as a reference for a new job. You'd like to save someone else from trouble by telling the prospective employer what you know. However, your lawyer has advised you not to give out references.
If you haven't listened to that advice before, you'd better start listening now. For the past decade, attorneys have advised employers not to provide references because a former employee might sue over defamation. In February, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling that gives employers an even stronger reason to clam up. The ruling effectively extends the reach of federal anti-discrimination laws to former employees, who may now sue you over a bad reference by claiming your motive was retaliation.
The case, Robinson v. Shell Oil Co., concerns a man discharged from his job at Shell. The former employee filed a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, claiming he'd been fired because of his race. While that claim was pending, he applied for a job with another company, which contacted Shell for a reference. After learning the reference was negative, he filed a lawsuit--this one claiming the bad reference was in retaliation for the discrimination claim. (Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it's illegal to retaliate against an employee who has sought protection under the act.)
Before deciding whether Shell intended to retaliate, the courts had to determine whether Title VII applies to former employees. The District Court dismissed the case, ruling former employees are not protected. The Fourth Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals agreed. But because other courts are divided on the issue, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the case.
The court's February 1997 ruling noted that the language of the act is ambiguous and concluded it was "more consistent with the broader context of Title VII" to hold that former employees are protected.
"This decision expands the reach of civil rights laws," says Patrick Falahee, a Chicago attorney specializing in employment law. "It's clear what direction the court is heading."
A Federal Case
Until now, former employees suing over a negative reference would go to a state court with a common-law defamation claim. Some former employees have won judgments in such lawsuits if they can show their former employers intentionally damaged their reputations.
However, in these cases, truth is a good defense. If you fired the employee for coming to work drunk and can document the occurrences, it's not defamation to tell a prospective employer the truth--especially because the prospective employer has a "qualified privilege" to know. That is, the prospective employer has a legitimate interest in the employee's behavior.
In a Title VII retaliation case, truth and qualified privilege are irrelevant. "Now it doesn't matter whether the employee was fired for misbehavior; the question is whether saying so was retaliation," Falahee says. The relevant question is whether the employee had previously exercised some right, such as filing a discrimination complaint. If it appears the employer might have been trying to get even by giving a bad reference, the employer might be liable under Title VII.
Making a federal case out of a bad reference is bad news for employers. Bringing the case into federal court entitles the plaintiff to trial by jury, which is more likely to be sympathetic to the employee than to the company. While each party in a state court case pays its own legal fees, a plaintiff who wins in a Title VII case may recover legal fees from the employer. In some cases, the plaintiff is also entitled to punitive damages.
Worse, it's possible for a disgruntled former employee who knows how to work the system to plan the whole thing: get fired for misbehavior, file a discrimination complaint, ask for a reference, and, if it's bad, sue.
Pamela Krivda, an employment attorney with Habash, Reasoner & Frazier in Columbus, Ohio, says many companies were already refusing to provide references out of concern over defamation suits, so this ruling won't change their behavior. For others, it may be the impetus for putting such a policy in place.
The legal safe harbor is simple: When another employer requests a reference, say it's company policy not to give out references. The problem is, such policies make it very difficult to do business, especially when you're hiring.
What's the bottom line? Says Krivda, "You have to decide for yourself: Is giving this reference worth a potential $50,000 lawsuit?"

Terrorist attacks in Mumbai
"Boring Tattoo!!!" AKA: "hollocaust tattoo cartoon" – NEARLY 63 Years AFTER The Holocaust!!!
A few days ago, as we are around the 63rd Anniversary of the Holocaust, and we are still at-shock for how-come some people decided to MURDER in COLD BLOOD, NO LESS than 6 MILLION Jewish Men, Women and CHILDREN, we were reviewing our e-mails and noticed the following amazing one that we thought it;'s worth sharing:
In MEMORIUM – 63 YEARS LATER
Please read the little cartoon carefully, it's powerful. Then read the comments at the end.
I'm doing my small part by forwarding this message. I hope you'll consider doing the same.
In Memorium
It is now more than 63 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the six million Jews who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated with the German and Russian Peoples looking the other way!
At one point, it EVEN became THE LAW OF THE LAND!!!
ONLY because, they were DIFFERENT, THEY WERE JEWS WITH DIFFERENT BELIEFS & DIFFERENT VALUES!!!
ALL THIS, because, NO-ONE CARED!!!
Now, more than ever, with Iraq , Iran , and others, claiming the Holocaust to be "a myth", it's imperative to make sure the world never forgets, because there are others who would like to do it again.
We SHALL NOT forget that it is just LESS than 1st YEAR ANNIVERSARY of that HEART-BREAKING NEWS when some ARABS went in to the Chabad Synagogue of Mumbai to MURDER so many innocent JEWS!!!
We SHALL NOT forget that they ALSO went in to other places like HOTELS & HOSPITALS in Mumbai and to Synagogue to MURDER so many innocent people who were just living their lives, vacationing, visiting hospitals or were patients in the hospitals, were Doctors & Nurses in the Hospitals, etc…!!!
Join us and be a link in the memorial chain and help us distribute it around the world and ask them to continue the memorial chain.
It will only take you a minute to pass this along
. Thanks!

Primality tests.
- isPrime :: Integer -> Bool
- bailliePSW :: Integer -> Bool
- millerRabinV :: Int -> Integer -> Bool
- isStrongFermatPP :: Integer -> Integer -> Bool
- isFermatPP :: Integer -> Integer -> Bool
- data FactorSieve
- fsIsPrime :: FactorSieve -> Integer -> Bool
Standard tests
isPrime :: Integer -> BoolSource
tests whether
isPrime n
n is a prime (negative or positive).
First, trial division by the primes less than
1200 is performed.
If that hasn't determined primality or compositeness, a Baillie PSW
test is performed.
Since the Baillie PSW test may not be perfect, it is possible that
some large composites are wrongly deemed prime, however, no composites
passing the test are known and none exist below
The tests in this module may wrongly consider some composite numbers as prime.
For the Baillie-PSW test, no pseudoprimes are known, and it is known that none
exist below
2^64, so for most practical purposes it can be regarded as conclusive.
Nevertheless, it is desirable to certify numbers passing it as primes (or find that
they are composite). The addition of prime certificates is planned for the next release.
bailliePSW :: Integer -> BoolSource
Primality test after Baillie, Pomerance, Selfridge and Wagstaff.
The Baillie PSW test consists of a strong Fermat probable primality
test followed by a (strong) Lucas primality test. This implementation
assumes that the number
n to test is odd and larger than
Even and small numbers have to be handled before. Also, before
applying this test, trial division by small primes should be performed
to identify many composites cheaply (although the Baillie PSW test is
rather fast, about the same speed as a strong Fermat test for four or
five bases usually, it is, for large numbers, much more costly than
trial division by small primes, the primes less than
1000, say, so
eliminating numbers with small prime factors beforehand is more efficient).
The Baillie PSW test is very reliable, so far no composite numbers
passing it are known, and it is known (Gilchrist 2010) that no
Baillie PSW pseudoprimes exist below
2^64. However, a heuristic argument
by Pomerance indicates that there are likely infinitely many Baillie PSW
pseudoprimes. On the other hand, according to
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Baillie-PSWPrimalityTest.html there is
reason to believe that there are none with less than several
thousand digits, so that for most use cases the test can be
considered definitive.
millerRabinV :: Int -> Integer -> BoolSource
A Miller-Rabin like probabilistic primality test with preceding
trial division. While the classic Miller-Rabin test uses
randomly chosen bases,
uses the
millerRabinV k n
smallest primes as bases if trial division has not reached
a conclusive result. (Only the primes up to
1200 are
available in this module, so the maximal effective
k is
isStrongFermatPP :: Integer -> Integer -> BoolSource
tests whether
isStrongFermatPP n b
n is a strong Fermat
probable prime for base
b, where
n > 2 and
1 < b < n.
The conditions on the arguments are not checked.
Apart from primes, also some composite numbers have the tested
property, but those are rare. Very rare are composite numbers
having the property for many bases, so testing a large prime
candidate with several bases can identify composite numbers
with high probability. An odd number
n > 3 is prime if and
only if
holds for all
isStrongFermatPP n b
b with
2 <= b <= (n-1)/2, but of course checking all those bases
would be less efficient than trial division, so one normally
checks only a relatively small number of bases, depending on
the desired degree of certainty. The probability that a randomly
chosen base doesn't identify a composite number
n is less than
1/4, so five to ten tests give a reasonable level of certainty
in general.
Some notes about the choice of bases:
b is a strong Fermat base
n if and only if
n-b is, hence one needs only test
b <= (n-1)/2.
b is a strong Fermat base for
n, then so is
b^k for
mod n
k > 1, hence one needs not test perfect powers, since their
base yields a stronger condition. Finally, if
a and
b are strong
Fermat bases for
n, then
a*b is in most cases a strong Fermat
base for
n, it can only fail to be so if
n and
the strong Fermat condition is reached at the same step for
mod 4 == 1
a as for
so primes are the most powerful bases to test.
isFermatPP :: Integer -> Integer -> BoolSource
tests whether
isFermatPP n b
n is a Fermat probable prime
for the base
b, that is, whether
b^(n-1) .
This is a weaker but simpler condition. However, more is lost
in strength than is gained in simplicity, so for primality testing,
the strong check should be used. The remarks about
the choice of bases to test from
mod n == 1
with the modification that if
a and
b are Fermat bases
n, then
a*b always is a Fermat base for
n too.
A Charmichael number is a composite number
n which is a
Fermat probable prime for all bases
b coprime to
n. By the
above, only primes
p <= n/2 not dividing
n need to be tested
to identify Carmichael numbers (however, testing all those
primes would be less efficient than determining Carmichaelness
from the prime factorisation; but testing an appropriate number
of prime bases is reasonable to find out whether it's worth the
effort to undertake the prime factorisation).

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (MEDIA GENERAL) — Five young lives were lost when a school bus carrying 37 students from Woodmore Elementary School in Chattanooga crashed on Monday afternoon.
Dr. Kirk Kelly, the interim superintendent of Hamilton County Schools, said three of the children who died were in the fourth grade, one was in first grade and another in kindergarten.
The entire country is mourning the lives lost far too soon.
D'Myunn Brown, 6
D'Myunn Brown, 6, was in first grade at Woodmore Elementary School.
His great-grandparents, Robert and Wilfred Bray, described him as a shy boy who opened up once he got to know people.
Robert Bray told WKRN in Nashville it's hard for him sleep because every time he closes his eyes, images of D'Myunn appear.
"I just see him, you know, take a look at the time I spent with him… how playful and how happy he was," he said.
"He was a sweet baby, precious little kid," Wildfred Bray added.
Cordayja Jones, 9
Cordayja Jones, 9, was in fourth grade at Woodmore Elementary School. She died just three weeks before her 10th birthday.
According to family members, she had a smile that could light up a room.
"That smile. She's always smiling, always smiling, always smiling. I know she's in heaven right now smiling, so we're good. It's going to be alright," cousin Edward Stoutemire told WKRN.
Zyanna Harris, 10
Zyanna Harris, 10, was in fourth grade at Woodmore Elementary School.
"She was a sweet, outgoing, cheerful young lady and [loved] to dance," family member Tanasha Foster told WKRN. "[I'm] just trying to hold up and keep it together."
Zyaira Mateen, 6
Zyaira Mateen, 6, was among the youngest Woodmore Elementary School students killed.
Her two sisters were also on the school bus but survived.
Zyaira's mother Jasmine Mateen told WSB-TV she is heartbroken but trying to stay strong.
"She was always, always doing something silly to make you laugh, make you feel loved," Mateen said of Zyaira.
Zoie Nash, 9
Zoie Nash, 9, was in fourth grade at Woodmore Elementary School.
Her uncle, Antwon McClain, told the Chattanooga Times Free Press she loved playing softball and was also on a dance team.
She was the only girl in a family of brothers. One brother was injured in the crash but survived.
