Endless Crusade: Women Social Scientists and Progressive Reform
This book examines the lives and careers of four American women--Sophonisba Breckinridge, Edith Abbott, Katharine Bement Davis, and Frances Kellor--who played decisive roles in early twentieth-century reform crusades. Breckinridge and Abbott used their educations in political science and political economy to expose the tragic conditions endured by the urban poor. Davis became the first superintendent of the New York State Reformatory at Bedford Hills and was a leading figure in prison reform. Kellor's sociological training gained her admittance to the smoke-filled rooms of national party politics and eventually to a high-ranking position in the Progressive Party. In Endless Crusade, Fitzpatrick follows these four women from their collective experience as University of Chicago graduate students at the turn of the century to their extraordinary careers as early-twentieth-century social activists, exploring the impact of their academic training and their experiences as professional women on issues ranging from prison reform to Progessive Party politics. Fitzpatrick examines how each woman struggled, in various settings, to promote effective social reform. Their shared commitment to social knowledge and social change, she shows, helped to shape the character of early-twentieth-century reform.

Q: Zero Locus of Functions is a Submanifold Suppose $f_1,\dots, f_d$ are a set of real-valued functions on a smooth manifold $M$. Let $N$ be the zero locus of the $f_i$. Suppose the $\textrm{d}f_i$ span a subspace of the cotangent space of $M$ of dimension $d'<d$. I'm trying to prove that this gives $N$ a natural manifold structure.
I've applied the inverse function theorem to prove that wlog the $f_1,\dots,f_d'$ are local coordinates around any given $p$ in $M$. I'd now like to restrict my diffeomorphism to $N$, but I'm worried that the extra $f_i$ for $i > d'$ will yield some subtleties. In particular my lecturer suggested that I needed to check that the other $f_i$ were constant on all curves through $p$. Why is this, and how does it help? I'm afraid I haven't quite got the intuition for this yet, so any comments would be gratefully appreciated!

A: What you need is the Constant Rank Theorem, which is an equivalent formulation of the Inverse Function Theorem.
If $f:M\to N$ is a smooth map having constant rank then, for any $p\in M,$ there exist coordinate maps $\phi$ around $p$ on $M,$ and $\psi$ around $f(p)$ on $N,$ such that $$\psi\circ f\circ\phi^{-1}:(u,v)\in U\times V\to (u,0)\in U\times W,$$ where $U,V,W$ are open neighborhood of $0$ in Euclidean spaces.

McDaniels downplays trade request

() sp28BronxBolts28b Denver Broncos Jay Cutler (6) warms up before his game vs. the San Diego Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium, CA.. Joe Amon/ The Denver Post
By Mike Klis | The Denver Post
PUBLISHED: March 23, 2009 at 4:47 pm | UPDATED: May 6, 2016 at 11:48 pm
DANA POINT, Calif. — Feelings remain weary, if not bitter.
But for the moment, Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler's trade request was doused Monday by new coach Josh McDaniels.
In an interview Monday with the NFL Network, McDaniels repeatedly stated Cutler is the Broncos' quarterback and the plan is to keep him as their quarterback.
While McDaniels may have allayed the worst fears of Bronco fans who have come to admire Cutler's talent, it may be a while before the two can coexist.
According to an NFL source, McDaniels sent a text to the disgruntled Cutler before arriving here at the owners meetings. Cutler has yet to respond.
Cutler, who finished the past three seasons as the Broncos' starting quarterback, formally requested a trade primarily because he's at odds with McDaniels. That request has not been rescinded.
McJaygate has captivated the NFL nation as it pits a 32-year-old inexperienced coach in McDaniels against a young star quarterback in Cutler, who set a team record last season by passing for 4,526 yards.
The rift began when McDaniels attempted to deal Cutler on Feb. 28 in a proposed three-team swap that would have brought former New England quarterback Matt Cassel to the Broncos. McDaniels was New England's offensive coordinator and Cassel's coach last season. Cassel was instead dealt to Kansas City.
Although Cutler has said he understood McDaniels' willingness to acquire his former pupil, he has trust issues with his coach. Two conversations between Cutler and McDaniels since the proposed trade have only aggravated the disagreement.
Cutler skipped McDaniels' first team meeting last Monday and has yet to appear for the team's voluntary offseason conditioning program. Cutler's trade request is serious enough that he's forfeiting a $100,000 workout bonus, although he has maintained he would report for the team's first mandatory mini-camp April 17-19.
More than 10 teams have contacted the Broncos, either through e-mail, text or phone call, to at least inquire about Cutler's availability.
In his NFL Network interview, McDaniels said of Cutler, "he's our quarterback." McDaniels will be available for all media here Tuesday morning at the annual AFC coaches' breakfast.
Season could start with Cowboys.
The Broncos' first request to NFL schedule makers for the 2009 season is to open at home for the first time since 2004. If that request is granted, the Broncos' season-opening opponent on Sept. 13 would be against the Dallas Cowboys.
The primary reason why the Broncos haven't been opening at home is their 2 p.m. MDT kickoff time slot is trumped by NBC's broadcast of the U.S. Open tennis tournament. NBC is the primary network for AFC games. If the Broncos were to open at home, the game would have to be televised by Fox, which means the opponent would have to be an NFC team.
The Broncos have only two NFC teams on their home schedule — the New York Giants and the Cowboys. The NFL has already scheduled the Giants for Thanksgiving night, leaving the Cowboys as the Broncos' only possible season-opening opponent — providing they don't again open on the road. The Cowboys have asked to open on the road to give them an extra week to prepare for the opening of their new stadium.

Towards Practical Randomization in Concurrent Data Structures
Dan Alistarh, EPFL
Thursday 15 March 2012, 09:00-10:00
Small lecture theatre, Microsoft Research Ltd, 7 J J Thomson Avenue (Off Madingley Road), Cambridge.
Given the widespread adoption of multi-core processor architectures, one of the biggest challenges in distributed computing is designing fast, highly concurrent implementations of common data structures such as counters, stacks, pools, or queues. In this talk, we examine these data structures through the lens of a classical distributed problem called renaming, in which a set of concurrent processes need to pick unique names from a namespace of limited size.
Our first result is that renaming deterministically is expensive, as it requires linear shared-access time in the worst case. The lower bound exploits a new connection between sorting networks, renaming, and the mutual exclusion problem. Importantly, this result can be extended to yield new linear lower bounds on deterministic implementations of practical objects such as stacks, queues, and fetch-and-increment counters, showing that implementing these data structures deterministically is also inherently expensive. On the other hand, we prove that this worst-case cost can be circumvented using randomization. We present a new randomized renaming algorithm that assigns names in logarithmic time, with high probability, ensuring a namespace of optimal size. Our algorithm is asymptotically time-optimal, and can be extended to obtain counters and fetch-and-increment registers in polylogarithmic time.
Together, these results suggest that, while obtaining fast deterministic implementations of these data structures may be impossible, randomization can be a very powerful tool when designing concurrent data structures, whose potential is yet to be exploited in full.

Growing Orchids For Beginners - 8 Tips and Care Instructions including orchid types that are suitable for beginners.
Orchids are not as difficult to care for as many people think! I find that my orchids are some of the easiest of all my house plants to look after. They require very little time once you are aware that their care is a little bit different to other indoor plants. The most important thing to remember with these beautiful plants is: less is more!! Most mistakes with orchids are made with (too much) watering and feeding!
As a beginner with orchids it is very important to choose the right orchid types that grow easily and that are low maintenance. Best beginners orchids are Phalaenopsis, Odontoglossum, Oncidium and Miltonia.
With the following tips and orchid care instructions you should have no problem to succeed with these easy grow orchids.
Watch this short video for some quick and easy orchid care tips!
1. Pick a spot for your orchid plant that is bright but has no direct sunshine.
2. Take care when buying orchids: Make sure you acquire a healthy, good quality plant to begin with. Good garden centers and specialist growers will help you selecting a healthy specimen. Make sure that the plants are wrapped well in newspaper for transport if outside temperatures are cold. Some orchids are protected species. Make sure that you buy a cultivated plant and not one that has been taken from the wild.
3. Orchid potting mix has to be coarse. It has to allow a lot of air through it. Remember, most orchids are epiphytes and don't grow in regular soil. As a beginner with orchid growing it is best to buy a pre-mixed orchid potting mix when repotting orchids.
4. The best orchid planter is a plastic pot! They are better than clay pots. These are porous and water evaporates constantly through them leaving behind salts. These salts burn and damage the delicate roots of the orchids. Shallow orchid pots are ideal for epiphytes. You sometimes find wooden or plastic basket orchid planters which are also suitable. They are great for hanging orchids. You can also use water plant/water lily pots. These allow air into the potting mix which is ideal for root health. You might have to line these pots with some netting to prevent the compost from washing out when you are watering the plants.
5. Watering orchids: Orchids hate to be overwatered! Never ever leave water sitting in the pots! This is the kiss of death for your orchid and the most common reason for failure!!!! The roots will start rotting and the leaves will start yellowing and fall off. Most people water even more because they think the plant does not get enough water. In most cases, you won't be able to save these plants.
The best technique for watering orchids, in my opinion, is to take the plant to a sink. Then hold the pot under a running tap until the water runs out at the bottom. Alternatively, you can submerge the whole pot in water an let the plant soak up the water for 10-15 minutes. Always drain the plants off very well afterward before putting them back into their place. Do that about every 7-10 days during the growth period. Don't water your orchid if the compost still feels moist. It is best to let the orchid compost dry out completely before watering your orchid. After flowering, most orchids need a rest period with a less frequent watering interval.
6. Fertilizing orchids: As a beginner with growing orchids it is best to buy a special orchid fertilizer. These are not as strong as regular fertilizers and formulated to suit the delicate orchid roots. Dilute the fertilizer in accordance to the instructions on the pack. Feed your orchid every third watering.
7. Orchids like to sprayed with soft water regularly.
8. After bloom care for orchids: Remove any withered flower stems. Some orchids like Phalaenopsis can rebloom on the same stem again. Cut them back only as far as they die back. Most orchids need a rest period after the growth season. Reduce watering and feeding during this time. You will know when the rest period is over if you see new growth of foliage or flower stems. Start watering and feeding more frequently again then.
Check for Phalaenopsis care tips here.
Odontoglossum orchids originate from Guatemala and there are over 100 varieties known. They like a cool place and flower in the autumn. They like to be repotted before they start growing.
Oncidium orchids are closely related to Odontoglossum. There are more than 500 varieties known. They originate from Middle and South America. Oncidium species like a cool place but the Oncidium hybrids can be kept in warmer rooms as well. An important factor in Oncidium care is a bright place and a longer rest period or they don't flower well.
Miltonias are very robust and vigorous. Their origin is Brasilia. They flower over a long period of time. Miltonia orchids come with red, pink, yellow or white flowers. These orchids hardly need a rest period because they are nearly always growing. Watering should be kept consistent, neither too wet or too dry. They don't like too much sunlight that can burn their leaves.

The Weatherization Assistance Program: 40 Years of Improving Homes and Lives
The last several years have seen a true revolution in clean energy, thanks in part to bold R&D investments from the Department of Energy (DOE). But DOE's investments and impacts go well beyond that. We've been helping Americans live better, healthier lives and driving progress on efficiency for four decades now through the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP).
As we mark National Weatherization Day on Oct. 30, it's the perfect time to celebrate the achievements we've seen since the program launched. Events and proclamations recognizing the program will be held in 13 states and at more than 700 community action agencies.
The Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) advances greater energy efficiency in low-income households, including for some of our most vulnerable citizens - the elderly, the disabled, and children. Through grants to states, territories, and Native American tribes, the program has facilitated energy efficiency improvements at more than 7 million homes – including 1 million weatherized from funding during the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. These upgrades have saved money for families, improved health and safety for home occupants, and reduced carbon pollution. It's been estimated that for every $1 invested in the program, WAP returns $4.50 in energy and non-energy benefits.
WAP has also been a catalyst for creating thousands of jobs, either directly or indirectly, in a typical year. We're now working to ensure that weatherization workers are certified and providing the entire industry with a consistent benchmark for quality.
While WAP has been around since the mid-1970s, it remains a springboard for innovation, continuing to incorporate new strategies and technologies. These technologies include zone pressure diagnostic testing for air leaks, lead-safe protocols for homes built before 1978, and modern blower door testing.
The program has pioneered the development of community-based programs in which states, communities, and local agencies can bring their own resources and solutions to the table. There are exciting developments underway across the country.
For example, Colorado recently became the first state to incorporate solar photovoltaic installation into the program, completing installation of a rooftop solar PV array as part of its services. The Energy Resource Center, a non-profit based in the state, installed a 2-kilowatt (kW) solar PV system at a WAP-eligible home in Colorado Springs. It's estimated the system will produce more than 3,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) in its first year and net roughly $6,200 in energy cost savings over 20 years. Adding solar to the weatherization menu of services could allow more American communities to access clean energy and tackle the challenge of climate change.
And in Ohio, Hocking-Athen-Perry Community Action and the Corporation for Ohio Appalachian Development (COAD) will soon celebrate Weatherize Nelsonville, a project weatherizing an entire town, including both commercial and public buildings. The agencies, along with their partners Columbia Gas of Ohio and American Electric Power, will showcase the community project on October 31, offering workshops, demonstrations, and testimonials from clients. COAD and its partner agencies bring a wealth of experience, having weatherized over 100,000 homes throughout Ohio's Appalachian counties since the beginning of the WAP program.
DOE will continue to work with states, communities, small businesses, and utilities to develop new ways to use technology and innovation to increase the impact of our weatherization efforts. Few government programs have had as large an impact on peoples' lives – and we are committed to continuing to serving them as the gold standard for the home performance industry.
Making a home more energy efficient is one of the cheapest and most effective means of reducing carbon emissions. That's why WAP is a key part of DOE's clean energy strategy – and a program that has touched the lives of millions of Americans.
What are the key facts?
The Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) advances greater energy efficiency in low-income households, including for some of our most vulnerable citizens - the elderly, the disabled, and children.
For National Weatherization Day on October 30, the Energy Department is celebrating the achievements since the launch of the Weatherization Assistance Program 40 years ago.
Events and proclamations recognizing the Energy Department's Weatherization Assistance Program will be held in 13 states and at more than 700 community action agencies.
