\section{Introduction}

Recently, UCoGe was added to the distinguished list of materials (already featuring UGe$_2$ and URhGe) which appear to
display coexistence of ferromagnetism and superconductivity \cite{huy,saxena,aoki}. While ferromagnetism and conventional
superconductivity may be shown to be antagonistic in terms of a bulk coexistent state \cite{breakdown}, several studies
have pointed out the possibility of a non-unitary, spin-triplet superconducting state coexisting with itinerant ferromagnetism
\cite{walker,harada,nevidomskyy,linder1,linder2,shopova2005}. The synthesis of two important phenomena in condensed-matter
physics, ferromagnetism and superconductivity, is not only interesting from the point of view of basic research, but
has also spawned hope of potential applications in low-temperature nanotechnology.
\par
A number of questions arise concerning the nature of the coexistence of ferromagnetic and superconducting order. In particular, it
is crucial to address \textit{i)} whether the two long-range orders are phase-separated or not,  \textit{ii)} whether the microscopic
coexistence is spatially homogeneous or not, and \textit{iii)} what the symmetry of the superconducting order parameter is. Concerning
the first question, the answer clearly appears to be 'yes', since the onset of superconductivity appears inside the ferromagnetic part
of the phase diagram \cite{harada}. The second question is, however, still open. Some authors have studied spatially uniform coexistence
of ferromagnetic and superconducting order \cite{nevidomskyy,linder1,linder2,shopova2005,uzunov}, while others have pointed out the
intriguing possibility of a spontaneously formed vortex lattice state\cite{tewari2004, leo, knigavko}, due to the internal field.
It has been argued \cite{mineev} that a key factor with regard to whether such a spontaneous vortex phase appears or not is the
magnitude of the internal magnetization $\mathbf{M}$. Finally, although the issue of pairing symmetry raised in the third question
has not been established conclusively, the most likely option appears to be a non-unitary, spin triplet superconducting state,
where the spin of the Cooper pair couples to the bulk magnetization through a third order term
$\sim \i(\mathbf{d}_\vk\times\mathbf{d}_\vk^*)\cdot \mathbf{M}$ in the Ginzburg-Landau free energy. Several
studies \cite{brataas,shen,gronsleth,linder3,yokoyama} have addressed means by which one may identify the
pairing symmetry of the superconducting order parameter in a ferromagnetic superconductor, mainly focusing
on transport properties.
\par
Clearly, it would be highly desirable to clarify experimental signatures of a possible spontaneous vortex lattice-phase realized
in a ferromagnetic superconductor. In this work, we present numerical results for the local density of states (LDOS) in the vicinity of
a vortex-core of a ferromagnetic superconductor. Our approach is based on the quasiclassical theory of superconductivity, and
takes into account several crucial factors such as the depletion of the order parameter near the vortex core in addition to
self-consistently obtained magnetic and superconducting order parameters. Our results are directly relevant for scanning
tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements,\cite{Hess89} and may be useful to clarify signatures of the existence of a
spontaneously formed vortex lattice and also the pairing symmetry of the superconducting order parameter.

This paper is organized as follows. In Sec. \ref{sec:theory}, we establish the theoretical framework employed in
this work. Namely, we use the quasiclassical approximation and solve the Eilenberger equation in the vicinity of
the vortex core with appropriate boundary conditions. In Sec. \ref{sec:results}, we present our results for the
spatial- and energy-dependence of the local density of states near the vortex core. Specifically, we investigate
how the relative weight of the spin bands in terms of the superconducting pairing and different pairing symmetries
for the superconducting order parameter affect the density of states. In Sec. \ref{sec:discuss} and \ref{sec:summary},
we discuss and summarize the main results of the paper. We will use boldface notation for 2-vectors, $\hat{\ldots}$ for $4\times4$ matrices, and $\underline{\ldots}$ for $2\times2$ matrices.

\section{Theoretical framework}\label{sec:theory}

It is generally believed that the pairing symmetry in ferromagnetic superconductors may be classified as a non-unitary,
spin-triplet state. \cite{walker, nevidomskyy,linder1} Our starting point is the quasiclassical Eilenberger equation
\cite{eilenberger} for such a system, which in the clean limit reads (see Appendix \ref{app:eilenberger} for details)
\begin{align}\label{eq:eilenberger}
\i\mathbf{v}_F\cdot\nabla \hat{g}^R + [\varepsilon\hat{\rho}_3 +\hat{M} + \hat{\Delta}(\mathbf{p}_\text{F}), \hat{g}^R]=0,
\end{align}
where $\varepsilon$ is the quasiparticle energy measured from the Fermi level, $\mathbf{v}_F$ is the Fermi
velocity, and $[\ldots]$ is a commutator. The exchange field $h$ and the superconducting order
parameters $\Delta_\sigma$ are contained in the terms of $\hat{M} = h\text{diag}(\underline{\tau_3},\underline{\tau_3})$
in addition to
\begin{align}\label{eq:ttt}
\hat{\Delta}(\vp_F) &= \begin{pmatrix}
\underline{0} & \underline{\Delta}(\vp_F)\\
-\underline{\Delta}^*(\vp_F) & \underline{0}\\
\end{pmatrix},\notag\\
\underline{\Delta}(\vp_F) &= \begin{pmatrix}
\Delta_\uparrow(\vp_F) & 0\\
0 & \Delta_\downarrow(\vp_F) \\
\end{pmatrix}.
\end{align}
The matrices $\hat{\rho}_i$ and $\underline{\tau_i}$ are defined in the Appendix.
The retarded part of the Green's function, $\hat{g}^R$, will have the structure
\begin{align}
\hat{g}^R = \begin{pmatrix}
\underline{g}(\mathbf{r},\vp_F,\varepsilon) & \underline{f}(\mathbf{r},\vp_F,\varepsilon) \notag\\
-\underline{f}^*(\mathbf{r},-\vp_F,-\varepsilon) & -\underline{g}^*(\mathbf{r},-\vp_F,-\varepsilon)\notag\\
\end{pmatrix},
\end{align}
and must satisfy the normalization condition $(\hat{g}^R)^2=\hat{1}$. Due to the internal symmetry relations
between the components of $\hat{g}^R$, one may parametrize it very conveniently by means of a so-called
Ricatti-parametrization \cite{schopohl,eschrigprb}. In the absence of interband-scattering, the Eilenberger equation decouples into
two $2\times2$ equations as follows:
\begin{align}\label{eq:eilen2}
\i\mathbf{v}_F\cdot\nabla\underline{g_\sigma} + [\varepsilon \underline{\tau_3} + \sigma h\underline{\tau_0} + \underline{\Delta_\sigma}(\vp_F), \underline{g_\sigma}] = 0,
\end{align}
where we have introduced
\begin{align}\label{eq:tt}
\underline{g_\sigma} &= N_\sigma\begin{pmatrix}
1 - a_\sigma b_\sigma & 2a_\sigma \\
2b_\sigma & - 1 + a_\sigma b_\sigma\\
\end{pmatrix},\; N_\sigma = (1+a_\sigma b_\sigma)^{-1},\notag\\
&\underline{\Delta_\sigma}(\vp_F) = \begin{pmatrix}
0 & \Delta_\sigma(\vp_F)\\
-\Delta_\sigma^*(\vp_F) & 0 \\
\end{pmatrix}.
\end{align}
Note that the gap matrix in Eq. (\ref{eq:tt}) is a $2\times2$ matrix in particle-hole space, while the gap matrix in Eq. (\ref{eq:ttt}) is a $2\times2$ matrix in spin-space. From Eq. (\ref{eq:eilen2}), one obtains two decoupled differential equations for $a_\sigma$ and $b_\sigma$:
\begin{align}
\i \mathbf{v}_F\cdot\nabla a_\sigma &+2a_\sigma\varepsilon - a_\sigma^2\Delta_\sigma^*(\vp_F) - \Delta_\sigma(\vp_F)=0,\notag\\
\i \mathbf{v}_F\cdot\nabla b_\sigma &-2b_\sigma\varepsilon - b_\sigma^2\Delta_\sigma(\vp_F) - \Delta_\sigma^*(\vp_F)=0.
\end{align}
Note that the above equations do not have any \textit{explicit} dependence on the exchange splitting $h$. As we shall
see later, the exchange splitting does however enter implicitly through the spin-dependent gaps $\Delta_\sigma$. Note
that the magnetic vector potential $\mathbf{A}$ may be incorporated above simply by a shift in the quasiparticle
energies: $\varepsilon\to \varepsilon + e\mathbf{v}_F\cdot\mathbf{A}$. In a gauge that renders the superconducting
gaps to be real, one finds that $e\mathbf{A}\to e\mathbf{A} - \nabla\Phi/2$, where $\Phi$ is the superconducting
phase associated with the broken U(1) symmetry. Therefore, the total Doppler shift in the quasiparticle energies
is $\varepsilon \to \varepsilon - em\mathbf{v}_F\cdot\mathbf{v}_s$, where the gauge-invariant superfluid velocity
is $\mathbf{v}_s = (\nabla\Phi - 2e\mathbf{A})/(2m)$. Below,
we keep the distribution of the superconducting phase in the order parameter and consider the case with
Ginzburg-Landau parameter
$\kappa \gg 1$, for which the magnetic vector potential $\mathbf{A}$ may be neglected. This follows since
we are considering only one single vortex, i.e. the zero-field limit, such that only gauge-field fluctuations
around zero could possibly be relevant. However, assuming that the superconductors are strongly type-II with
$\kappa \gg 1$, gauge-field fluctuations are suppressed \cite{zbt1999,nguyen-sudbo1999}.

as obtained from a self-consistent, mean-field solution [Eq. (\ref{eq:hmu})].}
\label{fig:ratio}
\end{figure}
\par
In order to solve the above Ricatti-equations, we follow closely the procedure of Ref.~\onlinecite{schopohl}.
Let us consider the term with $\mathbf{v}_F\cdot\nabla$ in more detail. Assume that we have a cylindrically
symmetric vortex situated at $r_a=r_b=0$ with its axis along $\hat{\mathbf{c}}$. The position vector in this
coordinate system then reads
$\mathbf{r} = r_a\avec + r_b\bvec$. Assuming that the transport of quasiparticles primarily takes place in
the $\avec-\bvec$-plane, we may define the Fermi velocity as
\begin{align}
\mathbf{v}_F = v_F(\cos\theta\avec + \sin\theta\bvec) \equiv v_F\hat{\mathbf{v}}
\end{align}
and its orthogonal vector $\uvec = -\sin\theta\avec + \cos\theta\bvec$. Thus, the position vector $\mathbf{r}$
may also be expressed as $\mathbf{r} = x\hat{\mathbf{v}} + y\uvec$, where we have defined
\begin{align}
x=r_a\cos\theta + r_b\sin\theta,\; y=-r_a\sin\theta + r_b\cos\theta.
\end{align}
Using the new coordinate system $\hat{\mathbf{v}}-\uvec$, the Ricatti equations may be rewritten as
\begin{align}
\i v_F\partial_x a_\sigma &+ [2\varepsilon - \Delta_\sigma^*a_\sigma]a_\sigma - \Delta_\sigma = 0,\notag\\
\i v_F\partial_x b_\sigma &- [2\varepsilon + \Delta_\sigma b_\sigma]b_\sigma - \Delta_\sigma^* = 0,
\end{align}
where $a_\sigma = a_\sigma(x,y)$ and $\Delta_\sigma = \Delta_\sigma(x,y)$. The above equations may be solved by imposing boundary conditions for $\{a_\sigma,b_\sigma\}$ in the bulk of the superconductor. The Ricatti-equations with $\varepsilon>0$ for $a_\sigma$ and $b_\sigma$ are stable for integration from $x\to(-\infty)$ and $x\to\infty$, respectively (opposite for $\varepsilon<0$).\cite{schopohl} The boundary conditions then read:
\begin{align}
a_\sigma[x\to(-\infty)] &= (\varepsilon - \sqrt{\varepsilon^2-|\Delta_\sigma|^2})/\Delta_\sigma^*,\notag\\
b_\sigma(x\to\infty) &= -(\varepsilon - \sqrt{\varepsilon^2-|\Delta_\sigma|^2})/\Delta_\sigma.
\end{align}
The superconducting order parameter $\Delta_\sigma$ is now modelled in the presence of a vortex centered at $r_a=r_b=0$.
In general, the superconducting order parameter may be written as\cite{yokoyama2}
\begin{align}
\Delta_\sigma(\mathbf{r},\theta,\varepsilon) &= \Delta_{\sigma,0}\chi_\sigma(\theta,\varepsilon) F(r) \e{\i m\phi},
\end{align}
assuming a vorticity $m$. Here, $\Delta_0$ is the gap magnitude, $\chi(\theta,\varepsilon)$ is a symmetry factor for the
gap (taking into account both anisotropicity and frequency-dependence), $F(r)$ models the spatial depletion of the gap
near the vortex core, while $\tan\phi = r_b/r_a$. We will here restrict our attention to an even-frequency, $p$-wave
symmetry, which is believed to be the most likely candidate for the order parameter in ferromagnetic superconductors.
Assuming that the angular symmetry is the same for both the majority and minority spin gaps and considering the usual
case of $m=1$, we explicitly have
\begin{align}
\Delta_\sigma(\mathbf{r},\theta) = \Delta_{\sigma,0}\chi(\theta) \tanh\Big(\frac{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}{\xi}\Big) \frac{x+\i y}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}.
\end{align}
In what follows, we will compare the cases $\chi(\theta)=\cos\theta$ and $\chi(\theta) = \e{\i\theta}$,
and also investigate how the LDOS changes depending the relative weight of the superconducting instability in both
spin-bands. The normalized LDOS for spin species $\sigma$ is given by
\begin{align}
N_\sigma(\mathbf{r},\varepsilon) = \int^{2\pi}_0 \frac{\text{d}\theta}{2\pi} \text{Re}\{ (1-a_\sigma b_\sigma)/(1+a_\sigma b_\sigma)\},
\end{align}
and we introduce the total LDOS in the standard way as
\begin{align}
N(\mathbf{r},\varepsilon) = \sum_\sigma N_\sigma(\mathbf{r},\varepsilon)/2.
\end{align}
To account for a finite quasiparticle lifetime $\tau$, we let $\varepsilon\to\varepsilon+\i\delta$ where $\delta\sim \tau^{-1}$.
From now on, we fix $\delta=0.1\Delta_{\uparrow,0}$ and comment further upon the role of inelastic scattering in Appendix \ref{app:inelastic}.
\par
Even if the exchange field $h$ is absent from the Eilenberger equation, the LDOS is \textit{not} independent of the value
of $h$. The reason for this is that the magnitude of the superconducting gaps depend on the strength of the exchange
splitting. Following the approach of Refs.~\onlinecite{linder1,linder2}, we derive from a weak-coupling mean-field
theory that the self-consistent solution of bulk superconducting gaps in the $T\to 0$ limit may be written as \begin{align}\label{eq:gap}
\Delta_{\sigma,0}/\omega_0 = c\exp[-1/(g\sqrt{1+\sigma h/\mu})],
\end{align}
 where the prefactor is equal to $c\simeq 2.43$ for a $p_x$-wave symmetry $[\chi(\theta)=\cos\theta]$, $c = 2.00$
for a chiral $p$-wave symmetry $[\chi(\theta) = \e{\i\theta}]$.\cite{linder1,linder2} Here, $g=V_0N_0$ is the weak-coupling constant which we set to $g = 0.2$ and $\omega_0$ is the typical frequency width around Fermi level for the bosons responsible for the
superconducting pairing. Above, $V_0$ is the strength of the pairing interaction, $N_0$ is the LDOS at Fermi level in the normal-state and $\mu$ denotes the Fermi energy. The reader may consult Appendix \ref{app:gap} for a derivation of Eq. (\ref{eq:gap}). We find that the ratio between the majority- and minority-spin gaps may be
written as
\begin{align}\label{eq:hmu}
\frac{\Delta_{\uparrow,0}}{\Delta_{\downarrow,0}} \equiv R(h/\mu) = \exp\Bigg[\frac{\sqrt{1 + h/\mu} - \sqrt{1-h/\mu}}{g\sqrt{1-(h/\mu)^2}}\Bigg]
\end{align}
when assuming that $h/\mu \in [0,1)$ (shown in Fig. \ref{fig:ratio}). In UGe$_2$, the energy splitting between the majority
and minority spin bands was estimated \cite{saxena} to lie around 70 meV, which yields $R\simeq 1.42$ when assuming $\mu = 1$ eV.

\end{figure}

\section{Results}\label{sec:results}

We begin by plotting the energy-resolved LDOS in the vortex core ($r_a=r_b=0$) for an order parameter which has line nodes
in momentum space. Such an order parameter was recently proposed to be realized in UGe$_2$ by Harada \emph{et al. } \cite{harada},
and it was moreover argued that the superconducting pairing only took place in the majority spin-band. To investigate
how the relative magnitudes of the majority and minority spin gaps affect the LDOS in the vortex-core, we plot the LDOS
for several values of the ratio $h/\mu$ in Fig. \ref{fig:Fig1}. As usual, the LDOS is strongly enhanced for subgap
values due to the existence of bound states within the vortex core \cite{caroli}. The presence of two gaps in the
system should manifest itself in the form of non-monotonous behaviour in the subgap spectrum, but it is not
possible to discern such behaviour unambiguously from Fig. \ref{fig:Fig1}. This effect may be masked by strong
inelastic scattering, modelled here by the parameter $\delta$, which effectively smears the LDOS. The effect of
increasing the exchange field is seen to suppress the deviation from the normal-state LDOS. This may be
understood by noting that the minority-spin gap is strongly reduced with increasing exchange field, and
that the corresponding increase of the majority-spin gap is not able to compensate for the suppressed
regime of bound states within the core.
\par
We next study the chiral $p$-wave symmetry analogous to the A2-phase in liquid $^3$He, and plot the energy-resolved LDOS for
several values of $h/\mu$ in Fig. \ref{fig:Fig2}. Although the qualitative behaviour is quite similar to Fig. \ref{fig:Fig1},
there are two important distinctions. First, one notices that the chiral symmetry appears to have a much more pronounced
influence on the LDOS quantitatively, yielding a larger zero energy-peak and larger subgap dips. This is in fact \textit{opposite}
what one would have expected from tunneling conductance measurements of $p_x$-wave and chiral $p$-wave superconductors,
respectively. For such measurements, the zero-energy peak becomes much larger in the $p_x$-wave case than in the chiral
$p$-wave case. Secondly, the subgap features associated with the presence of two gaps are enhanced in Fig. \ref{fig:Fig2}
compared to Fig. \ref{fig:Fig1}. The non-monotonous behaviour for subgap energies is present for all curves in Fig. \ref{fig:Fig2}, but the features indicative of multiple gaps are most clearly seen for
$h/\mu=0.15$, manifested through an additional inflection point before the normal state LDOS is recovered. These differences could be helpful in discriminating between different types
of pairing symmetries in ferromagnetic superconductors.

In order to show more clearly the contribution from each spin-band to the LDOS near the vortex core, consider Fig. \ref{fig:spindos}
where we plot the total LDOS and the contribution from each spin band for a) $\chi(\theta)=\cos\theta$ and b) $\chi(\theta)=\e{\i\theta}$.
The rise of the LDOS following the gap edge $\Delta_{\sigma,0}$ of each spin band occurs at different energies due to the exchange
splitting. This is revealed in the total LDOS as kinks located at two distinct energies, which offers the opportunity to obtain
explicit information about the relative magnitude of the two gaps. The qualitative features are the same in
Fig. \ref{fig:spindos} a) and b), but they are quantitatively more pronounced in the chiral $p$-wave symmetry case. This may be
due to the fact that the chiral $p$-wave gap has a constant magnitude ($|\chi(\theta)|=1$), while the $p_x$-wave gap varies
in magnitude upon traversing around the Fermi surface. Therefore, the LDOS is more strongly affected in the chiral $p$-wave case.
\par
We now study the resolution of the LDOS in real space for a fixed energy in Fig. \ref{fig:contour1}. We have chosen $R=2$,
corresponding to $h/\mu \simeq 0.14$ and also chosen the line node symmetry $\chi(\theta) = \cos\theta$. In all cases, the
plots in Fig. \ref{fig:contour1} display a two-fold spatial symmetry, in accordance with the superconducting order parameter. \cite{schopohl,Hess,Ichioka}
The zero-energy peak present for $\varepsilon=0$ evolves into a dip-structure at the vortex core upon increasing the
quasiparticle energy. The deviation from the normal-state LDOS is still significant even at distances $\sim 2\xi$ away
from the vortex core around $\varepsilon/\Delta_{\uparrow,0}=0.5$. The qualitative features are the same for the
chiral $p$-wave symmetry in Fig. \ref{fig:contour2}, although the symmetry is now circular due to the isotropy
of the magnitude of the gap ($|\chi(\theta)|=1$)

\end{figure}
\end{widetext}

\section{Discussion}\label{sec:discuss}

In our calculations, we have chosen a real gauge for both superconducting order parameters $\Delta_{\sigma}$,
$\sigma=\uparrow,\downarrow$. If the two spin-bands are completely independent, there is no phase-locking between
the order parameters which fixes the relative phase $\Delta\nu = \nu_\uparrow-\nu_\downarrow$, where $\nu_\sigma$
is phase associated with the broken U(1) symmetry. The existence of two such phases would imply that a U(1)$\times$U(1)
symmetry is broken in a ferromagnetic superconductor, and would in principle allow for two critical temperatures
which may differ in magnitude. However, if the two spin-bands do communicate by means of \eg spin-orbit coupling
or impurity scattering, a term of the form $-\lambda\cos(\Delta\nu)$ will appear in the free energy describing the
system. This corresponds to a phase-locking scenario where the sign of $\lambda$ determines whether $\Delta\nu = 0$
or $\Delta\nu = \pi$ is the energetically preferred relative phase. Above, we have decoupled the two spin-bands
such that the relative phase of $\Delta_\uparrow$ and $\Delta_\downarrow$ is of no consequence. Taking into
account scattering between the spin-bands would require solving coupled Ricatti-equations and investigating
the effect of phase-locking explicitly, which is beyond the scope of this paper.
\par
In Fig. \ref{fig:spindos}, we plotted the relative contribution from the two spin-bands to the LDOS near the vortex
core to clarify how the LDOS may give decisive clues about whether both spin bands partake in the superconducting
pairing or not. In principle, it might be possible to probe explicitly the spin-resolved LDOS by using a strong
ferromagnetic STM and contrasting parallel and antiparallel relative configuration of the exchange fields in the
FMSC and the ferromagnetic STM tip. The experimental realization of this particular proposal is nevertheless probably
challenging.

\section{Summary}\label{sec:summary}

In summary, we have numerically studied the local density of states (LDOS) in the vicinity of a vortex core in a ferromagnetic
superconductor. Specifically, we have investigated what influence the exchange field and the symmetry of the
superconducting order parameter exhibit on both the spatially resolved and energy-resolved LDOS. The symmetry
of the spatially resolved LDOS near the vortex core as revealed by STM-measurements should give decisive clues
about the orbital symmetry of the superconducting order parameter,\cite{schopohl,Hess,Ichioka}  while the
energy-resolved LDOS could provide important information about the presence of multiple gaps in the system.
Our results should be comparable to experimentally obtained data, both qualitatively and quantitatively, and
may thus be helpful in clarifying the nature of the superconducting pairing in ferromagnetic superconductors.

Barriers to Entering the Nursing Profession Faced by Hispanics
In light of a lack of diversity exacerbating a current and projected nationwide nursing shortage, a new study by the Tomás Rivera Policy Institute examines why there's a shortage of Hispanic nurses and what we can do about it.
In the report, "Latina and Hispanic Nurses: Why are there so few?," authors Rainbow Vogt, PhD, and Maria Teresa V. Taningco, PhD, found from interviewing 373 Hispanics in Los Angeles various obstacles to becoming a nurse.
Nurses and assistant nurses… Continue

Hispanic Professionals networking in Boston
Members of Boston's corporate communities of color have found a new networking venue, thanks to a group of executives who know what it's like to be out of the professional mainstream loop in Boston. They call their new monthly gatherings Get Konnected. At these events, professionals from various ethnic backgrounds can meet others who may not necessarily travel outside their own ethnic groups.
Other efforts have been made in this vein over the years, but they have petered out,… Continue

Hispanics Continue to Lag in Educational Attainment
College graduates earn much more than those without a college education, and college graduates are more prevalent in metro than nonmetro areas, which contributes to higher earning levels in metro locales. Recent data from the Current Population Survey show that the metro advantage in college completion rates is growing over time. College completion rates rose across all major racial and ethnic groups in both metro and nonmetro areas between 1996 and 2006. By 2006, high school completion rates… Continue

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) Cassius Winston shook off a slow start and took over when No. 6 Michigan State needed him most against Purdue.
''That's what great players do,'' Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said.
''He's a very confident and talented player, but at times he doesn't let things come to him,'' coach Matt Painter said. ''He has such high peaks sometimes he'll have a game like this because he wants it so bad that he starts pressing.
''He's crafty, breaking you down and scoring for himself and creating for his teammates,'' Painter said.
''Everybody's stepping up and playing big roles,'' Winston said.
''My heart goes out to the family and everyone in the Purdue family,'' Izzo said.

To show their dissatisfaction with the arrangement, Albany reporters from several outlets, including POLITICO, phoned in to the conference from outside Cuomo's Capitol suite. | Jimmy Vielkind/POLITICO
Cuomo takes questions by phone as staff tries to plant queries
By JIMMY VIELKIND
12/07/2017 05:56 PM EST
Updated 12/07/2017 07:26 PM EST
ALBANY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo decided to take questions from the Albany press corps by phone rather than in person on Thursday, even though he was in the capital city, and his aides contacted several reporters in hopes of planting questions with them.
It's the second such conference call in three days for the Democratic governor, who is trying to rally opposition to the federal tax overhaul because it curtails the deductibility of state and local taxes.
While the issue has raised Cuomo's profile with the national media — he was interviewed on National Public Radio earlier this week — he has not spoken in person with reporters at the Capitol since June.
To show their dissatisfaction with the arrangement, Albany reporters from several outlets, including POLITICO, phoned in to the conference from outside Cuomo's Capitol suite. Gubernatorial press aides then contacted several reporters, three of them said, hoping to have them ask if the governor was inclined to give state lawmakers a pay raise this year. They refused and were not called on during the conference call.
"We are a step away from Cuomo having his staff interview him on phone conferences," Ken Lovett, the Daily News' veteran Albany bureau chief, said on Twitter.
Spokesman Rich Azzopardi said Cuomo was at the Executive Mansion on Eagle Street for the call: "The governor was working on the state of the state at the house, was not in the office, and decided to conduct a press conference call to keep this critically important issue in the news and reach media outlets in these congressmember's districts."
Cuomo promised record transparency when he took office in 2011, but through a series of actions he has tightly centralized and restricted the release of information from state agencies, pushed for the automatic deletion of email records after 90 days and once sent aides to screen records that reporters requested from the State Archives.
During the call, Cuomo said he would not acquiesce to a legislative pay hike unless the state budget is adopted by its April 1 deadline — a popular indicator of government dysfunction.
"The cost of the raises is a fairly small amount in the state budget, but I have said that performance matters. Government should be held to performance — just like the private sector. You're a car salesman — you don't sell any cars, you don't get any commission," Cuomo said on the 37-minute call. "I will not be supportive of any pay raise if the budget isn't done on time. Period."
The governor ended the call after four questions.
Also on Thursday, a trio of county executives held a press conference — during which they spoke to reporters in person — to announce a resolution adopted by the New York State Association of Counties in opposition to the federal tax plan.
Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone, a Democrat, said the bill would hurt Long Island taxpayers, many of whom pay more than $10,000 in state and local taxes — the new threshold for deductibility. He and Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro, a Republican, said the bill would "punish" New York taxpayers.
But Molinaro took issue with Cuomo's lobbying effort against the tax bill, which has included harsh words for Republican members of Congress — five of the state's nine GOP members — who voted for it. Cuomo said they should resign, and called them "Benedict Arnolds" because the bill would "rape and pillage" the state.
"It's counterproductive and it's inappropriate. It's not becoming from a president or a governor," said Molinaro, who is considering a challenge to Cuomo in next year's election. "To say to people that your political position is akin to treason if, in fact, you hope to have those people work [doesn't] provide real leadership to resolve a problem."
During his conference call, Cuomo repeated his attacks, and said the whole state will suffer because high-income taxpayers — who provide 40 percent of state revenues — will be driven to lower-tax states like Florida.
"Why would a Republican congressman from a state that you are dismembering take part in it?" Cuomo asked.

From Humble Beginnings To Wimbledon Junior Grand Slam Winner, Kenyan Tennis Player Angela Okutoyi Is Scaling Heights
by Sabella Ombati
Angela Okutoyi has been the talk of the town since July 11th, 2022. The 18-year-old professional tennis player became the first Kenyan to win a Grand Slam match at Wimbledon. Playing alongside her Dutch partner Rose Marie Nijkamp, the duo recorded a 3-6, 6-4, and 11-9 win at the all-England Club.
Angela's tennis journey has not been easy. The young player has endured hardships and trials from an early age.
Born in January 2004 at the Pumwani Maternity Hospital, Angela and her twin sister Roselida Asumwa never laid eyes on their mother, who died during their delivery. Their grandmother Mary Ndonda decided to raise them, and they all lived in a small single servant quarter house in Loreto Convent, where she works as a cook.
When the two sisters were young, their grandmother had initially decided to take them to an orphanage in Limuru. However, she decided to take them back seven months later due to concern about their welfare. The two were enrolled at the Mbagathi primary school once they reached the appropriate age to go to school.
Angela's love for the game started when she was still very young. Joe Karanja, who had been hired as a coach for the Loreto Convent school, allowed her and her sister to train with the school team.
She was a six-year-old training with eight-year old's, which meant that she had to put in the extra work. In an interview with the standard, Joe said, "When you are six and play with eight-year-olds, you're lacking the physicality. Okutoyi didn't have easy sessions with me. She was always in competition and always had to fight to win, so I think her mentality was suitable for tennis from the beginning,"
When she reached the age of nine, her potential had grown, and Joe decided to make arrangements for her to join the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Centre.
In 2014, at age ten, she joined the ITF East Africa Regional Centre in Burundi on a tennis scholarship. She then made her international debut at the East Africa zonal championships the same year and finished second.
In 2016, she returned to Kenya due to civil strife in Burundi and joined the ITF Training Centre at the Nairobi Club. To be able to build her skills, she put a pause on her education but picked it up with time. She enrolled in online classes at Penn Foster, which is an online program based in the United States, and Edoptions, a virtual form of learning.
Angela started gaining recognition in 2018 when she became the youngest player to win the Kenya Open. In 2021, she won the Africa Junior Championships, beating a top player named Aya El Aouni in Sousse, Tunisia.

In a tournament in January 2022, Okutoyi managed to win two matches at the Australia open championships in Melbourne. In the third round, however, she was defeated but still kept her head high. Her presence at the tournament marked Kenya's first appearance after 16 years.
"To make history here in Melbourne has been very special," Angela told itftennis.com. "I am happy that people in Kenya have been able to see that, and they, together with African players more generally, realize they have a chance to do the same. In Kenya, most people who play tennis are not well-off. Their families, like mine, don't have much, and I want to encourage them and say that situation doesn't mean they cannot reach here, and it doesn't define them. It can actually give them a drive and a motivation to do good."
Despite her wins, she has remained grounded and always gives credit to her grandmother and coach, Joe, who have always supported her. In an interview with BBC, she said that her grandmother is the one who drives her and seeing her happy makes her happy as well.
Okutoyi dedicated her recent win to Kenyans, stating that it showed the world that the country could produce world beaters in the sport. On July 11th, 2022, she landed at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, receiving a warm welcome. Dignitaries, traditional dancers, and her fellow Kenyans gathered at the airport, eager to see and congratulate her.
Her coach Thuku Roger, a former player, hopes that the Kenyan government and corporates will support her in the future following her win. "I hope that after all the congratulatory messages, people will support her push when she takes part in tournaments. As we speak, she is supported by volunteers, which is not ideal. She needs a full-time team working with her to harness her potential in her," he told the Star.
Angela is now preparing for the US Open Tennis Championship, which will be held from August 29th to September 11th, 2022. The championship will be held at the UTSA Billie Jean King National Tennis Centre. She was also enlisted for the Womens' Futures tournament in Tunisia and Egypt later this month.

BY THE NUMBERS: Here are the latest state and county figures of COVID-19 vaccines administered
MONTPELIER — After the second full week of COVID-19 vaccinations being administered in Vermont, the health department reported that a total of 11,157 people in the state have received their first dose through Dec. 29.
Before a Christmas lull, the state had its busiest day Dec. 23 when 2,137 vaccines were given. Only 172 doses were administered Dec. 26, but then an average of 976 were administered each of the following three days — just one less than the overall average of the first 14 days the vaccine has been available.
People ages 35-49 have received the most doses, 3,086, as 3% of people in the state who fit that range have done so. Just 1% of the state's population that is 65 years old and older had been given the vaccine through Dec. 29.
Of the 6,782 doses administered throughout the state in the second week, 1,341 went to those who live in Chittenden County. Through Dec. 29, 1.4% of Chittenden County, 2,472 people, had been vaccinated.
Through the first two weeks, Chittenden County is seeing that an average of 177 people are vaccinated per day. However, that figure includes zero doses being administered both Dec. 25 and 26.

The Life I Live is the 2000 debut solo album by American R&B singer, Torrey Carter. The album was led by the top 20 R&B hit, "Take That" (featuring Missy Elliott); the album also listed "If It's Money That You Want" as the second single, where it began to gain minor airplay. However, both singles failed to become much of a success, thus the album was shelved.

The pictures below were taken during the first day of the music festival Fruitstock 2006 (on Saturday 5th August 2006). This free event was held annually from 2003 to 2006, on the first weekend in August. The location was in Gloucester Green, at the north-east corner of Regent's Park. It was sponsored by the soft drinks company Innocent. Proceeds from the sale of programs and other goods were given to a children's charity. The focus was on the music acts on the main stage, but among the other attractions were a DJ's tent, bar, stalls selling food and drink (mainly natural or fair trade products), plus children's activity areas.
The acts on the main stage were introduced by Mary Anne Hobbs.
Ebony are a steel band who have often won competitions at the Notting Hill Carnival.
The Puppini Sisters perform songs in a 1940's style.
The Whisky Cats are a band from Manchester. They won Fruitstock's talent search in 2005.
Nouvelle Vague (meaning "new wave" in French) come from Paris. They perform cover versions of classic punk songs in an original "bossa nova" style.
Norman Jay is a top DJ, originally from London's Notting Hill area. He helped to found the radio station Kiss FM. He currently presents a radio show on Sunday evenings on BBC London (94.9 FM). His mixes keep the audience dancing.
Arrested Development were the headline act. They are a group from the south of the USA. Their style is largely based on hip hop, but their songs promote a positive message. According to the leader Speech, "We have an extra mission to broaden perspectives and inspire the people to rise above the stereotypes and materialism".

The Matanuska Colony a Model for Lunar Development
By: Janet Grischy
Janet Grischy's image for:
"The Matanuska Colony a Model for Lunar Development"
Not everyone thinks we should colonize the moon. Some cite the expense, the danger, and the waste of resources aimed at space. Surely, enough troubles on earth call for immediate attention, some say.
The Matanuska Colony faced, and faces, similar criticism. It was a project of the New Deal, one of many such projects intended to help the hard-pressed while it helped the economy recover. It sent farm families from the upper Midwest to Alaska to found new homesteads.
It was an expensive project. It cost five million dollars, exceeding its original estimate by more than four million. Government projects commonly go over budget, just as home remodels do, because of unforeseen contingencies, goofs, and changes of plan. It's a good bet that something similar would happen with a government lunar colony budget.
People died in the colonization of the Matanuska Valley. Winters were harsh (though so are Minnesota winters), and times were hard. It is possible that these families would have lost members anyway, but how hard to lose loved ones so far from home.
In some ways, the colony succeeded. Descendants of some of the original families, a few, still live in the Matanuska Valley. A few colonist families on the moon would be enough to give earth a first foothold in space. Probably this small project, and the many others like it, gave hope to the struggling many in dark times. Probably a colony on the moon would lift some hearts on earth.
In some ways, the colony failed. Colonists returned to Minnesota, Wisconsin, or Michigan, knowing they weren't up to the task, or telling tales of government failures, distant markets, high costs, and unforgiving conditions that punished the slightest miscalculation.
Whether it is the best use of earth's resources or not, chances are humans will once again stand on the moon. Intelligent and focused individuals are bending their efforts that way. Whether adventure novels read in childhood motivate them is another story. Someday there will be a colony attempted on the moon. Someday, I believe, there will be permanent settlers in space.
If the planners of moon settlements study the Matanuska colony, they should compare the families that stayed to those who left. They should also study the traits that distinguish settlers from explorers, and workers from dreamers. There should be a mix of each in a colony on the moon. Perhaps not at the very beginning, however.
Expectations should be matched as closely as possible to realities before the colonists go. Perhaps they could practice, at the poles, in the desert, or underwater. Tools and equipment should be ample, as they were not in the Matanuska Valley. Settlers should commit to building, not just a new colony, but a new world.

Bruno and QuesoLauren Paris, Sarah McVey
How Bruno And Chicago's Other Instagram-Famous Pets Are Helping Other Animals
What do you do when your pet becomes an Instagram sensation? Help other animals, owners say.
Published on Oct 26, 2018 9:17AM CDT Logan Square, Humboldt Park, Avondale Primary category in which blog post is published
Hannah Steinkopf-Frank	@HSteinkopfFrank
SOUTH LOOP — After Lauren Paris and her boyfriend Jason Bartlett adopted their cat Bruno — who had gone viral because of his "thicc" body type and penchant for standing on his hind legs — they knew the only way to manage his internet fame was to start an Instagram account.
"When I first saw his pictures I freaked out and I know that reaction was not unique: He's hilarious," Paris said.
Within weeks, South Loop resident Bruno had more than 70,000 followers and is now represented by The Dog Agency, a pet talent agency that works with more than 100 unique pets.
Lauren Paris
Now, Paris said, "the greatest responsibility that we have for Bruno's platform is sharing shelters and adoptable animals specifically where Bruno came from which is Wright-Way Rescue."
The suburban Morton Grove-based shelter needs help financially, and spreading the word about adoptable pets, she said.
In an age of social media oversharing, cute critters are not only subject to their owner's photo whims, but also are influential presences in their own right, snagging media coverage and sponsorship deals from big brands.
But some of these animals, like Bruno, use their platform to raise awareness about the large numbers of pets needing to be adopted. Although these numbers have been declining since 2011, 6.5 million animals enter shelters in the U.S. each year and 1.5 million are euthanized, according to ASPCA.
In Chicago, shelters have recently faced an overwhelming number of rescue cats and the city's largest no-kill shelter PAWS has dealt with capacity issues.
Many shelters, such as the Logan Square-based One Tail at a Time, turn to social media to connect potential owners with pets. Adoption center manager Alli Rooney said many learn about the shelter through Instagram, where it has more than 21,000 followers.
"The dogs all have pretty distinct personalities, so it's more just about being at the right place and time to get a good pic…" Rooney said. "The most important thing is to have fun with it. We've increased our followers by 10,000 in this past year, and I think it's due in part to the fun voice the account has and how cute our dogs are."
Through a Facebook post from ALIVE Rescue in North Center, real estate property manager Jackie Kahn met Boz, a white cat with heterochromia, meaning he has two different colored eyes. While she originally shared feline photos on Facebook, Khan grew sick of people calling her a cat lady. She switched to Instagram, where "bad boy" Boz has garnered over 20,000 followers.
Jackie Kahn
While she joked that she didn't even know what a hashtag was when she started, Instagram is a place to not only promote "adopt not shop" but also educate about the responsibility of pet ownership.
"It's a lifetime commitment if you do want to adopt a cat or a dog or a bunny around Easter," she said. "It's about being responsible that I still have to feed this cat. It's not just posting pictures on the internet."
Others are drawn to their pet's background story, such as Sarah McVey whose Pomeranian, American Eskimo and Pomsky-mix Queso was rescued from a flood and sent to a kill shelter before ending up in Chicago.

While he had kennel cough, ear infections and belly rashes, McVey knew his quirky personality would shine on Instagram.
"There are so many people who wouldn't want to take in a senior dog or a dog like Queso who had a lot of problems when we got him, but look at him now," she said. "He's thriving. He's a diva."
Queso now has over 5,600 followers and McVey, who works in social media marketing, has scored partnerships with animal-focused brands.
"He's very silly, really positive and upbeat and also likes to capitalize on in the moment things that are happening in Chicago," she said. "If it's been a big snowstorm storm or something he'll want to talk about that. He'll talk about the Cubs."
Katie Reynolds, a Logan Square vet tech, grew up with horses, but when she met a blind Pomeranian named Jack-Jack she fell in love — and felt that dogs with health problems deserved some Instagram love, too. She started her Instagram account for Jack-Jack, who was rescued from from a puppy mill, years ago. When Jack-Jack passed away from canine cancer, his "siblings" Oliver and Rachel took over the account.

"I've made a lot of friends from it all over the country, some even overseas who also preach advocacy for rescues," Reynolds said.
She also encourages adopting older and black dogs like Rachel. She said they're overlooked at shelters because "you can't see their eyes as well so you don't really get the same connection. But I see her eyes all the time."
When it comes to advice for photographing animals, she highlighted the importance of lighting, photographing from animal face level and using toys or treats to get them to look at the camera.
"I can look back and smile," Reynolds said, referencing old photos of Jack-Jack. "Most of my friends take pictures of their kids and mine are all pictures of my dogs."

At Least Seven Dead In Pakistan Mine Blast; More Casualties Feared
NewsRadio Free Europe
At least seven miners have been killed and six others were missing and feared dead after an explosion ripped apart a coal mine in the southwestern Pakistani province of Balochistan, reports say.
The blast occurred on August 12 in the village of Sanjdi, some 50 kilometers east of Quetta, the provincial capital.
The cause for the blast remained unclear.
Police initially said it was a methane gas explosion, but later reports said the mine caved in after the miners used dynamite during an excavation.
Provincial chief mines inspector Muhammad Iftikhar said rescue teams were still working to find the miners who remain trapped, but do not expect to find them alive.
The number of miners involved has differed in several Pakistani news reports.
The country has suffered many coal-mine disasters, a situation that critics have blamed on poor safety measures.
In May, at least 23 miners were killed in accidents triggered by a methane gas explosion at a coal mine in western Pakistan.
A cave-in at a mine in Marwaarh, east of Quetta, killed 16 miners. Seven more were killed in a landslide at another mine nearby.
The Pakistan Central Mines Labor Federation has said that an average of 200 miners a year die in accidents.

For the first time since 1935, Germany's Jewish community has ordained a female rabbi. Alina Treiger, 31, will have the same rights and responsibilities as her male colleagues.
Alina Treiger is the first woman to be ordained as a rabbi in Germany in 75 years. She and two male rabbis were ordained in an emotional ceremony attended by German President Christian Wulff and Jewish leaders from around the world at Berlin's Pestalozzi synagogue on Thursday.
Jewish life has taken root again in Germany after being nearly wiped out by the Nazis.
"For the past two years, rabbis have been ordained here in Germany, rabbis who completed their studies in Germany," Wulff said.
Ukrainian-born Treiger studied at the Abraham Geiger College in Berlin, which was founded in 1999, and is due to take up her post as rabbi in Jewish religious communities in the towns of Oldenburg and Delmenhorst.
"It's important to me that Jews in Germany are able to develop a positive identity," she said. "Not just something that is negative and related to persecution and the Holocaust, but a positive identity."
Liberal Judaism considers men and women to be equal, and she was made to feel very welcome, Treiger told Deutsche Welle ahead of the ceremony.
"This shows that the attitude towards female rabbis has changed to the better," she said.
As a rabbi, Treiger will not only read from the Torah and give religious lessons, but also conduct marriages and funerals, and sit on Rabbinical courts.
"I hope that the women in the Jewish community see that it is possible, as a woman, to take an active part in learning and studying our texts and sources," she said.
Before coming to Germany, Treiger worked in Jewish organizations in Ukraine and Russia. In her hometown Poltava, she headed the Jewish community's congregation programs.
"At that time, in the year 2000, the World Union of Progressive Judaism was looking for young people willing to do rabbinic training," she said. "I was asked and said 'yes.' So, I went to Berlin to study."
Treiger's ordination was the first in Germany since Regina Jonas became the world's first female rabbi in 1935. Jonas, who grew up in Berlin and was trained there, was murdered at the Auschwitz death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland in 1944.
Germany's Jewish community now counts nearly 110,000 members. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, Germany made it easier for Jews from the former Soviet Union to immigrate and obtain citizenship. Currently around 50 of the 110 Jewish community congregations do not have a rabbi.
Today, Germany - the birthplace of Liberal Judaism - still lags behind other countries in ordaining female rabbis. The ordination of Germany's first female rabbi comes 38 years after the US first witnessed its first ordination of a female rabbi.
Victims of anti-Semitic attacks in Germany will be able to report incidents on a new online platform. It's run by an anti-Semitism research group and will include events that do not involve a crime in its tally.

Cortana was second for questions answered, Alexa second-best for accuracy.
In January, Stone Temple Consulting released a virtual assistant consumer survey showing the majority of respondents wanted the assistants to provide "answers" rather than conventional search results. Today, the firm published a follow-up study that measured the relative accuracy of the four major assistants.
It compared results of "5,000 different questions about everyday factual knowledge" on Google Home, Alexa, Siri and Cortana, using traditional Google search results as a baseline for accuracy. The following table shows the study's top-line results.

Q: Fuel UX 3: is element id required for initialization through Javascript? I am new to Fuel UX and trying to make  checkbox work. I have the following simple page:
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Fuel UX 3</title>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

    <link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
    <link href="dist/css/fuelux.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

            <input class="sr-only" type="checkbox" value="">
            Custom checkbox unchecked on page load 22234

I need to initialize the checkbox via Javascript. The following works:
$('#myCustomCheckbox1').checkbox();

The following are not working:
$('input[type="checkbox"]').each(function(index, item) {
    $(this).checkbox();
});

or
$('input[type="checkbox"]').checkbox()

Could any expert confirm that checkboxes must have id if they are initialized via Javascript? Or I did it in a wrong way?

A: Please review the documentation. The checkbox jQuery plugin can only be bound to the label, not the wrapping div (if present), nor the input.
You might try:
$('.checkbox > label').each(function(index, item) {
    $(this).checkbox();
});
