My newly established team is driving effort including across five key areas of work: 1 infrastructure and foundational supports; 4 leadership in AI safety and security; and 5 I think the sheer breadth and opportunity of AI has been the biggest challenge – as a general purpose technology there is just limitless linkages and applications and so prioritising and distilling real impact zones has been a challenge So personally that has meant learning to say no Read more: Delivery driver: how the Canadian Data/AI Challenge makes data dreams come true the AI Secretariat will support the government to advance large-scale signature initiatives that demonstrate Canadian leadership and work to progress back-office solutions for the government that drive productivity within our internal operations and provide efficient services to Canadians We will pilot an AI Learning Accelerator program for public servant executives in partnership with the Canada School of Public Service and the Munk School at the University of Toronto to further operationalise AI projects across the Government of Canada While we work to increase AI literacy for Canadians across key domains we will also proactively pursue skills that align with the future of work and help link the available talent to the AI competencies needed by public and private sectors Read more: Government of Canada names working group on public service productivity I think a change I would love to see is to approach digital data and technology with a meaningful risk mentality and with the room for scale Too often we see all risks as equal and shut out the room for innovation but without real room for growth and scale – prerequisites I think are necessary to seize our AI advantage My team is looking to advance this culture in meaningful ways and with impact-oriented approaches Always a tough one – there is no place like home and so I will welcome some chances to get to some of my favourite spots in Canada – my hometown of Winnipeg But I am also hoping to get back to some of the places where vibrancy culture and cuisine come together – like Spain Sign up: The Global Government Forum newsletter provides the latest news, interviews and features on AI, data, workforce, and sustainability in government Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" As governments around the world look to deliver digitally-enabled services,..

His most famous efforts are on display at his first big design the original Bandon Dunes layout that opened in 1999 at the now-famous Oregon resort that shares the course’s name He then followed with a few courses that were judged more harshly by some with architecture critics questioning if he had lost his way He has since come full circle with several of the most playable and interesting modern courses around the globe That would be Gamble Sands in the state of Washington Gamble Sands has been widely hailed as one of the most playable – and more importantly Wide with many beneficial bounces to keep a recreational golfer swinging but with key strategic lines hidden within expansive fairways to attract the eye of a skilled player Gamble Sands was intended from the start to offer something for everyone With Gamble Sands ranked by the Golfweek’s Best rating program as the No 1 public-access layout in the state of Washington and No 20 on the 2025 list of elite resort courses in the U.S. With a major assist from business and design partner Nick Schaan This time next door to the original Gamble Sands layout on what might be even better but more stern topography Before we get to Kidd and Schaan’s yet-to-open resort course that has been named Scarecrow and described as the twisted sister of the original Gamble Sands layout first comes a look at Kidd and his design firm’s evolution in playability As a young and unknown designer, Kidd built Bandon Dunes under the direction of resort founder Mike Keiser with a focus on playability Keiser speaks often of “retail golfers,” and the first course at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort needed to cater to amateurs in all kinds of weather atop cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean Bandon Dunes kicked off a revolution in what has been termed remote destination golf A big part of that playability was the ground game that was in full effect at Bandon Dunes On true links courses in the United Kingdom and Ireland players could still bounce and roll a ball past reasonable obstacles and onto a putting surface instead of being forced to fly it in A couple of his new course builds after the turn of the century didn’t have that same focus on playability Tetherow in Oregon and the Castle Course in St proved polarizing with abundant obstacles and greens that wouldn’t accept a bounced-in shot Both courses also have attracted their fans which has proved to be a ridiculously high measuring bar “Those courses got a lot of negative attention some of it perhaps not so merited.” Kidd said during that skins game in Nebraska in the fall of 2024 about what type of courses I wanted to build And I landed on the fact that golf is a game Kidd’s layout for Mammoth Dunes at Sand Valley Golf Resort in Wisconsin – opened in 2018 – has proved to be popular and ranks among the top 20 resort courses in the United States His newer courses around the world have attracted an often younger breed of player looking for something fresh in golf design Kidd’s eponymous design firm has flourished He flies his own airplane to ease the burden of travel – and because he just finds it very cool to take command in the pilot’s seat – but there aren’t enough days in the year to accept all the proposals he receives from developers around the world This has allowed him to be appropriately picky two recent examples of his work have come under examination: the renovated Tributary in Idaho and the new GrayBull in Nebraska 1,500-acre residential development in Driggs The course has gathered much attention and is ranked No 100 among all modern courses in the United States and No 31 among all residential courses in the U.S but Kidd recently returned to re-emphasize playability The layout was constructed on relatively flat terrain and Kidd had to create most of the interest instead of relying on a naturally gifted landscape His renovation efforts included repairing and restoring most of the bunkers and “We looked at every bunker on the course and asked if each one was really relevant,” Kidd said in the fall of 2024 after a quick go-round of the Tributary after the renovation was completed He described the Tributary renovation as being at the intersection of restraint and sophistication The word restraint comes into play even more at GrayBull the first course built from the ground up by the Dormie Network The Nebraska-based Dormie Network offers member access to seven clubs in six states Nebraska has become famous in golf architecture circles in recent decades starting with the private Sand Hills Golf Club a Bill Coore- Ben Crenshaw design that ranks as the No Geography blessed much of the state with massive sand dunes perfect for golf if not particularly dense in population Kidd said he spent 152 nights in a Fairfield Inn in the nearby town of North Platte while laying out GrayBull Why not?” Kidd asked after playing 47 holes at GrayBull in one day shortly after it opened It all makes for golf that is extremely dynamic.” It would have been easy at GrayBull to introduce all kinds of eye candy at every twist and turn Instead of overdesigning in an already amped-up environment Kidd and Schaan focused on restraint and playability The internal contours of the greens are dialed up to generate interest while the external shaping is relatively calm and natural often canted to provide a helping hand on mildly misplaced shots “I love seeing you guys try to figure out the riddle that my team and I have put together for you,” Kidd said and it’s multi-dimensional depending on the wind and the kind of shot that you’re thinking of hitting Your strategy is adjusting constantly to try to keep in a scoring position I can build a golf hole that’s plenty challenging It means the ability to have some chance of recovery It means a wide-enough fairway that you can get the ball in play even if it’s not on the aggressive scoring line I can give it plenty of additional width for misses around the green so that you can make bogey with relative ease Perhaps no hole better exemplifies the marriage of challenge and playability — and even a bit of cheeky fun and random luck — better than No It’s a par 3 that can be stretched all the way to 264 yards for the biggest of hitters playing as a downhill carry over sand all the way to a wrinkly green The direct route is a big ask for many recreational players as far as 60 yards wide of the putting surface where a long hillside awaits to kick balls down to the left and onto the green Schaan – a talented player – said good golfers might take dead aim at the flag trying to remove the element of luck offered by the hillside Less-skilled players are more prone to take their chances on the hillside and they are frequently rewarded with shots that trickle down to the flag That’s probably the most fun shot out here.” it was Schaan’s job as lead creative to make sure players enjoyed the shots on the new Scarecrow Construction was completed in 2024 for the 18-hole course at the resort in Brewster with a grand opening planned for August of 2025 Schaan joined DMK Golf Design in 2006 and became a partner in the firm in 2019 He has become Kidd’s trusted sounding board instrumental in the layout and build of many of the courses that bear Kidd’s name Kidd said the pair had long discussions about how to recreate the success of the original Gamble Sands course without a rinse-and-repeat mindset that tried too hard to emulate the first course “How do we make sure the basic DNA is similar but different enough that people won’t say they didn’t try as hard on the second one,’?” said Kidd who was totally in control of the build of the first course “I guess I can distill all the way down to the fact that Nick and I said the best way we can exceed our own expectations is by creating internal competition.’ Nick was the guy on the ground all the time here And the shapers that were here were not all the same guys you’re never going to beat that first course You can’t beat the first one.’ And of course Schaan’s crew had a great site on which to work Across the entrance road from the clubhouse and on steeper more jagged terrain than the first course at the resort Scarecrow offers more frequent views across the Columbia River than does the first course perfect for fast and firm fescue golf that could compete with the first course for players’ attention “Nick had no allegiance and no bias to the first course and that was actually a super strength when it came time to build the second one,” Kidd said That was the challenge I gave him as his business partner.” One way Schaan’s team changed the script – with Kidd egging them on – was to push holes closer to the edges of massive sandy valleys and washes than Kidd did on the original course while the opposite and safer side of the greens are typically still relatively open for more cautious approach shots Players choose the amount of risk they can stomach “There are not a lot of greens out there on the first course that are right on the edge,” Schaan said the greens have been brought back in from the edge where there is room to miss there are a few of them that are right to the edge.” “There’s maybe more reward for taking on a little bit of risk off some of the tees but there’s still lots of room,” Schaan said You’re still in a fairway if you miss it a little bit you’re just in a worse spot to be super aggressive on the next one A lot of that was site- and topography-driven.” The result is a Scarecrow course that is similar in some ways but also very different than Gamble Sands Kidd envisioned himself as the editor on the project only weighing in if Schaan pushed too hard Schaan was trying his best to outdo his business partner “When you’re building stuff – especially when you’re shaping and that’s probably where it happens most – if you’re not pushing the envelope to the point where you might need to pull back a little bit From the very first project we did together the million-dollar question: Which course is better Kidd and Schaan look at each other and laugh recounting various comparisons they have made Kidd said he thinks better players might prefer some of the risk-reward aspects of Scarecrow while higher-handicappers might lean toward Gamble Sands It’s a win-win so long as people are having the discussion Kidd and Schaan are betting that Scarecrow will continue it I wanted to make sure that DNA transferred,” Kidd said The simplicity of it falling across the landscape The ease of getting off the tee – you might not be in a scoring line “But lots of other things – the green shaping the contouring of the fairways – that’s all different You can have two kids that are very different 1/27OSAA Class 5A girls soccer state championship: Wilsonville vs Bend.st1{fill-rule:evenodd;clip-rule:evenodd;fill:#2a2a2a}By Joe Zochert | For The Oregonian/OregonLiveHILLSBORO — Make that four straight 5A girls soccer titles for Wilsonville thanks to a 4-1 thumping of Bend at Hillsboro Stadium early Saturday afternoon Each time has gotten sweeter for the Wildcats (14-5) because it has been done in different ways every year whether it be an overwhelming favorite or an underdog in the bracket head coach Alex Boehm is just in awe of the program and its consistent success The Wildcats have had a bumpy ride in the 2024 campaign losing four games to Class 6A teams and also falling to the top-seeded Canby before running through the bracket as a fifth seed but I couldn’t be happier,” Boehm said after the game and I think the program in our school can be more proud I’m just thrilled that every year has been different.” She added: “We’ve had a fully different squad we’ve had to rebuild this year come back stronger and get one of our best final scores we’ve ever had in a state championship.” But Camryn Schaan has been as consistent as the yearly titles the junior forward has scored and assisted in each of the last three state finals scoring in the fifth minute before finding Kate Kleinke on a cross in the 13th minute to deal the Lava Bears (12-5-1) a 2-0 hole The junior forward finished with a brace including the final Wilsonville goal in the 53rd minute to push the lead to 4-0 “I know I have to do something,” Schaan said about her quick scoring start “I know to put the ball in the back of the net.” Boehm has been happy to see the reliable option come through again for a third time “She’s an important piece of the puzzle,” the coach said talented players we have working around her to make everything possible That kid never gives up and seems to be a magnet for the goal.” Even with a late goal by Shea Manfredi to break the shutout the energy for a potential Wilsonville four-peat dominated the pitch the Wildcats controlled the young Lava Bears by having a 8-3 shots-on-goal advantage Senior Tegan Waters felt the imminent victory right from Schaan’s first goal and was determined to keep the pressure going “I just knew right from there,” Waters said about Schaan’s first goal scoring a 20-yard strike in the first 13 seconds of the second half to set the tone It has been a special four years for Waters being on the varsity team for all four years and has cherished every title with the Wildcats But this one had its own special meaning - unable to pick a state title to be her favorite - as the senior closed out her high school career with a goal after watching the 2021 title from the sideline in her freshman year “It was such a good experience,” Waters said I just completed my whole high school career being able to score and finish off the fourth year with the championship is incredible.” She added she’s happy to have been a part of each year “Every single season has been so different and unique in every way,” she said and the road to success has been different too as determined by a vote of the league’s coaches JD HUMBURG, SBLIVE SPORTSJD Humburg is a Managing Editor for SBLive Sports the prospects of a fourth consecutive 5A girls soccer title seemed less than glowing for Wilsonville The Wildcats went 3-4 in their nonleague schedule their 49-game unbeaten streak in the Northwest Oregon Conference – dating to 2017 – came to a screeching halt with a loss to Canby the Wildcats finished the season with another title by beating Bend 4-1 in the OSAA/OnPoint Community Credit Union 5A final at Hillsboro Stadium The Wildcats entered the playoffs with the No but much like they did in 2022 – when they were seeded seventh – they saved their best soccer for last playing against some very good 6A schools,” said junior forward Camryn Schaan who had two goals and an assist Saturday “Coming into league and we started to pick it up and gained some confidence coming into playoffs “Some people didn't think we'd get as far as we did Wilsonville (14-5) extended its title streak despite losing five starters from last season including high-scoring forward Kenley Whittaker we figured out something that works for us,” Wildcats coach Alex Boehm said “We've managed to kind of figure out how to peak at the right time a lot of it is starting with a challenging preseason learning along the way and growing every week.” Senior midfielder Tegan Waters said it took a while for the Wildcats to fill in the gaps from last year's lineup but didn't work out the best,” Waters said “Then we changed up our lineup and got people in the right spots Schaan – who had one goal and one assist in each of the last two state finals -- got Wilsonville started against the No she rolled a shot through the defense from about 10 yards out “It was very important to get a goal on the scoreboard right away and then just keep it going like we did,” Schaan said Sophomore Kate Kleinke made it 2-0 in the 13th minute taking a pass from Schaan and converting from close range Waters blasted a shot from about 20 yards out into the left upper corner of the goal Schaan netted her second goal in the 53rd minute volleying in a shot from five yards out as the lead grew to 4-0 Bend got a goal in the 77th minute on a long shot by sophomore Shea Manfredi Schaan finished the season with 21 goals and 13 assists She has 53 goals in her high school career She's grown so much as a person and a player I can't wait to see what's in store for her.” Boehm marveled at how the team coalesced around Schaan but I think the best part is also the 10 kids working around her,” Boehm said One of our values is that we're all better together Boehm kept the team pointed in the right direction despite the early struggles “She always pushes us to be the best version of ourselves She puts all the puzzle pieces in the right spots concluded her high school career with a fourth state title fell short in bidding for its first title since taking home the blue trophy in 2006 Climate policy has not been a significant focus for the governing Saskatchewan Party or the opposition NDP in the Oct neither Saskatchewan Party Leader Scott Moe nor NDP Leader Carla Beck were asked about their plans to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions Moe referred to climate policy on two occasions – both focused on his government’s opposition to the federal price on carbon and the carbon-pricing exemption that Saskatchewan has instituted for natural gas used for home heating Beck did not mention climate specifically in the debate Why is there no talk about climate policy in Saskatchewan during this election doesn’t have a record of which to be proud Perhaps it’s because polls show voters care far more about other issues That may also explain why neither party feels compelled to put forward a GHG emissions-reduction target in its 2024 platforms or have serious action plans if they form the next government With neither party committing to serious action it may be up to individual citizens to take action protests and social media to raise awareness Saskatchewan and Alberta are laggards on climate policy, according to reports this year from both the Pembina Institute and Clean Energy Canada (CEC). This is particularly concerning because nearly half of the country’s emissions come from these two provinces Environment and Climate Change Canada data shows Saskatchewan has long been falling short of its climate goals In 2007, the Saskatchewan Party came to power promising to stabilize GHG emissions by 2010 reduce them by 32 per cent from 2007 levels by 2020 and then cut them by 80 per cent from 2007 levels by 2050 Its platforms after 2007 have omitted such targets The Saskatchewan NDP offered similar GHG emissions-reduction targets in the 2007 election and continued to set targets in its 2011 and 2016 platforms It did not set targets in its 2020 or 2024 platforms Table 1 shows what each of these 2007 goals represented in actual GHG emissions reductions in terms of megatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e Mt) The governing Saskatchewan Party missed its 2010 target It missed its 2020 target by 19.6 megatonnes and is not on track to reach the 80-per-cent reduction by 2050 target The issue is complicated by Saskatchewan’s resource-intensive economy (figure 1) Has the Saskatchewan government actually been trying to reduce its emissions We can evaluate the government’s climate policy record using the Canadian climate policy inventory created by the University of Calgary’s Canadian Climate Policy Partnership (C2P2) a policy must be enacted with the primary purpose of reducing GHG emissions Targets and goals are not included because they do not Saskatchewan has 29 climate-change mitigation policies (figure 2) despite it making up only a small portion of provincial emissions (figure 1) This is followed by five policies for transportation three for agriculture and two for electricity although this industry accounts for nearly one-third of provincial emissions Five additional policies apply to multiple sectors the number of policies implemented is not necessarily representative of a province’s climate policy ambition Some policies reduce emissions more effectively than others They tend to be more effective than incentive programs The most effective policies use a mix of carrots and sticks Most policies in Saskatchewan are incentives and funding instruments (20 out of 29 Saskatchewan’s climate-policy mix includes only six regulations and one market-based pricing policy – the province’s output-based performance standard for industrial emitters Also important is the scope of each of the Saskatchewan climate policies Policies with a wider scope – sector-wide or multi-sector-wide – can lead to greater emissions reductions than policies that are narrowly scoped only two apply to multiple sectors and two are sector-wide (figure 3) Most incentive policies are project-based or apply to a specific technology or class of technologies effective climate policies is one of the main reasons why Saskatchewan has not achieved its emissions-reduction goals how might this election affect Saskatchewan’s climate policy Moe has made it a point of pride to oppose federal climate policy and in 2022 stated “I don’t care” about Saskatchewan having the highest per-capita emissions in the country The federal government accepted in July the province’s letter of credit for the money owed until the dispute is settled by the Tax Court of Canada at a date not yet determined Would climate policy look different if the NDP forms the next government The NDP platform does contain a reference to climate change and states the party would “invest dollars through climate initiatives into rapidly building out renewable power This indicates the potential for some additional incentive policies but the NDP platform proposes no additional regulatory or market-based climate policies it would cut the gas tax of 15 cents/litre at the pump for six months This would have the opposite effect of a price on carbon It would be a disincentive for people to drive less or switch to electric vehicles Why the real climate change fight is in Saskatchewan Saskatchewan’s long history of rejecting carbon pricing How Saskatchewan’s climate change strategy falls short If neither of Saskatchewan’s two main political parties is offering effective climate policy The top issues on voters’ minds are health care, taxes, affordability and the cost of living, according to recent polling Education and the state of the economy are next on the list Saskatchewan residents have suffered the effects of climate change with more intense forest fires and agricultural drought but this has not translated into a widespread call for climate action The lack of stated climate concern in opinion polls may explain the state of climate policy in the province It may also explain why neither the Saskatchewan Party nor the NDP felt compelled to put forward a GHG emissions-reduction target in their 2024 platforms Some advice comes from Simon Fraser University’s Mark Jaccard in his book The Citizen’s Guide to Climate Success: citizens should consider civil actions They should have conversations with friends and family volunteer with environmental organizations and vocally support ambitious policies when politicians do implement them it may require increased and sustained civil action to ensure that the party that takes office works to fill in the province’s climate policy gaps and turns Saskatchewan from a climate policy laggard to a leader This research is supported in part by funding from the Canadian Climate Institute the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (PDG #890-2022-0076) the office of the vice-president

streak to four But junior striker Camryn Schaan never panicked She knew they’d played a challenging nonconference schedule that included three 6A semifinalists Even after losing to Canby in Northwest Oregon Conference play Her faith was rewarded Saturday at Hillsboro Stadium where she came up big yet again in the final scoring twice and adding an assist to lead Wilsonville (14-5) to its fourth consecutive title joining Summit (2012-15) as the only 5A schools to accomplish the feat and becoming the fifth program in state history to win four in a row “Some people definitely doubted we’d make it this far,” said Schaan who has four goals and three assists in three title matches I’ve always known that we were going to get here.” Schaan opened the scoring five minutes in by dribbling through the middle of the Lava Bears defense and firing home from 8 yards her cross across the goal area set up Kate Kleinke for a tap-in Tegan Waters scored 15 seconds after halftime with a shot from the top of the penalty area and Schaan completed her brace by finishing off Justine Sheets’ free kick in the 53rd minute “I was very excited coming into this game,” said Schaan who finished the season with 21

the game away The Spartans held La Grande (14-2-1) without a shot and put 14 on target Lyndie Isaacson made nine saves for the Tigers who were in the final for the first time since 2013 and second

Eugene/Triangle Lake Highlanders.st1{fill-rule:evenodd;clip-rule:evenodd;fill:#2a2a2a}By Nick Celario | For The Oregonian/OregonLiveNo 1 Wilsonville won its third consecutive OSAA Class 5A girls soccer state championship 3 North Eugene/Triangle Lake 2-0 in the state final match Saturday at Sherwood High School “This season is just absolutely incredible,” said Wilsonville senior midfielder Kenley Whittaker we had different paths to the state championship Had a little bit of wobbles along the ride every failure turned into a learning experience and that ultimately led to our success today.” All three state championships going back to 2021 were won with coach Alex Boehm at the helm Every year makes it extra special to be a part of this,” Boehm said Boehm added: “Every year has been different This year was difficult because when you come in as the No To secure the win was its own additional challenge against a really quality North Eugene team the difference this year was how dynamic our players are We’ve learned to become really adaptable and flexible in the game and we had to adapt and weather a few storms to be able to find our chances in the game How our kids overcame that adversity in the game today Wilsonville (16-2) was actually on the backheel for most of the first half it was the Wildcats that broke through on the scoresheet Whittaker scored at the 31st minute right in front of goal Sophomore forward Camry Schaan crossed in the ball to Whittaker for the assist Whittaker said that it was the team’s past experience from the previous championship matches that it relied on to get through the rough start to the match “One thing that went around the locker room was that we have the experience to be here,” she said “Even though we were at Hillsboro (Stadium) last year and then Sherwood today Can we control our butterflies in our stomachs The Wildcats then scored early in the second half to take further control of the match it was Schaan who scored at the 49th minute and Whittaker provided the pass for the assist “We are the absolute dynamic duo,” Whittaker said of her and Schaan “I feel really good leaving the program with her and I’m thrilled for the future of this program.” North Eugene/Triangle Lake (14-3-1) for much of the game had possession and threatened to score but couldn’t put a ball to the back of the net despite its efforts The Highlanders outshot Wilsonville 11 shots to four Wilsonville senior goalkeeper Jasmine Brown posted five saves in the shutout win “We worked really hard for this all season,” said North Eugene/Triangle Lake senior forward Kendal Priaulx “We played really well leading up to the game but it’s a lot learned for our underclassmen They (Wilsonville) are definitely a beatable team North Eugene/Triangle Lake coach Brandy Wormdahl said finishing chances to score “We needed to put balls in the back of the net in the first half,” Wormdahl said We’ve got to clean up some things on defense The Highlanders coach added when Wilsonville scored its second goal “They’ve got a couple of good players who got free and made a nice shot Either your goalkeeper’s got to come up big to keep you in it I felt that a little bit as the game wore on Priaulx said that this is only a sign of things to come for the Highlanders program “This is going to be a hard one for them to come off of and they’re going to do great next season.” Richard & Cindy Schaan and Warren & Kathy Grove would like to announce their engagement and forthcoming marriage Crystal is a 2008 graduate of Rugby High School and a

universe and accounts for its accelerating expansion which accounts for about 27 percent of the universe and you can see how lensing effects can simultaneously magnify and stretch the view of the surface beneath it gravity effects from large objects like galaxies and galaxy clusters bend the CMB light in different ways These lensing effects can be subtle (known as weak lensing) for distant and small galaxies and computer programs can identify them because they disrupt the regular CMB patterning There are some known issues with the accuracy of lensing measurements and particularly with temperature-based measurements of the CMB and associated lensing effects While lensing can be a powerful tool for studying the invisible universe and could even potentially help us sort out the properties of ghostly subatomic particles like neutrinos And like bugs on a car’s windshield during a long drive the gas and dust swirling in other galaxies can obscure our view and lead to faulty readings of the CMB lensing There are some filtering tools that help researchers to limit or mask some of these effects but these known obstructions continue to be a major problem in the many studies that rely on temperature-based measurements The effects of this interference with temperature-based CMB studies can lead to erroneous lensing measurements a postdoctoral researcher and Owen Chamberlain Postdoctoral Fellow in the Physics Division at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) “You can be wrong and not know it,” Schaan said “The existing methods don’t work perfectly – they are really limiting.” a Divisional Fellow in Berkeley Lab’s Physics Division to develop a way to improve the clarity and accuracy of CMB lensing measurements by separately accounting for different types of lensing effects It also distorts them along a certain axis so they are stretched in one direction,” Schaan said notes a “dramatic reduction” in this error margin when focusing solely on shearing effects A set of cosmic microwave background images with no lensing effects (top row) and with exaggerated cosmic microwave background lensing effects (bottom row) (Credit: Wayne Hu and Takemi Okamoto/University of Chicago) which are large objects that stand between us and the CMB light are typically galaxy groups and clusters that have a roughly spherical profile in temperature maps and the latest study found that the emission of various forms of light from these “foreground” objects only appears to mimic the magnification effects in lensing but not the shear effects ‘Let’s rely only on the shear and we’ll be immune to foreground effects,’” Ferraro said “When you have many of these galaxies that are mostly spherical they only contaminate the magnification part of the measurement And we’re more certain that these maps are correct,” even when the measurements involve very distant galaxies as foreground lensing objects The method could also enhance the science yield from future galaxy surveys like the Berkeley Lab-led Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) project under construction near Tucson, Arizona, and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) project under construction in Chile through joint analyses of data from these sky surveys and the CMB lensing data Increasingly large datasets from astrophysics experiments have led to more coordination in comparing data across experiments to provide more meaningful results the synergies between CMB and galaxy surveys are a big deal,” Ferraro said These images show different types of emissions that can interfere with CMB lensing measurements as simulated by Neelima Sehgal and collaborators From left to right: The cosmic infrared background composed of intergalactic dust; radio point sources or radio emission from other galaxies; the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect a product of gas in other galaxies; and the thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect which also relates to gas in other galaxies In this study, researchers relied on simulated full-sky CMB data. They used resources at Berkeley Lab’s National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) to test their method on each of the four different foreground sources of noise and electron-interaction effects that can contaminate CMB lensing measurements The study notes that cosmic infrared background noise and noise from the interaction of CMB light particles (photons) with high-energy electrons have been the most problematic sources to address using standard filtering tools in CMB measurements Some existing and future CMB experiments seek to lessen these effects by taking precise measurements of the polarization of the CMB light signature rather than its temperature “We couldn’t have done this project without a computing cluster like NERSC,” Schaan said. NERSC has also proved useful in serving up other universe simulations to help prepare for upcoming experiments like DESI (see related article) The method developed by Schaan and Ferraro is already being implemented in the analysis of current experiments’ data One possible application is to develop more detailed visualizations of dark matter filaments and nodes that appear to connect matter in the universe via a complex and changing cosmic web The researchers reported a positive reception to their newly introduced method “This was an outstanding problem that many people had thought about,” Ferraro said NERSC is a DOE Office of Science User Facility Department of Energy’s Office of High Energy Physics Cosmic Frontier Program the Chamberlain fellowship program in Berkeley Lab’s Physics Division and the Miller Institute for Basic Research in Science at UC Berkeley supported the participants in this study NERSC is supported by the DOE Office of Science’s Advanced Scientific Computing Research program The DESI project is supported by the Department of Energy’s Office of High Energy Physics and the LSST project is jointly supported by the DOE and National Science Foundation Founded in 1931 on the belief that the biggest scientific challenges are best addressed by teams, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and its scientists have been recognized with 13 Nobel Prizes Berkeley Lab researchers develop sustainable energy and environmental solutions Scientists from around the world rely on the Lab’s facilities for their own discovery science Berkeley Lab is a multiprogram national laboratory managed by the University of California for the U.S DOE’s Office of Science is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States, and is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time.

After hearing two weeks of testimony at the second-degree murder trial of Stacey Omer L’Herault, a jury found him not guilty of second-degree murder but guilty of manslaughter in Schaan’s death. The jury reached its verdict Saturday afternoon after entering into deliberations on Friday. Subscribe now to read the latest news in your city and across Canada. Create an account or sign in to continue with your reading experience. The jury heard from Schaan’s roommate, Dean Spokes, who said he saw L’Herault punch and stomp Schaan in the basement where Schaan lived on Avenue F North in the city’s Mayfair neighbourhood. He testified that L’Herault injected meth about an hour before the assault and discussed his belief that Schaan was stealing people’s drugs. Witnesses said they waited five hours before calling an ambulance for Schaan, who was found bloody and dazed. At that point, L’Herault had left the house. L’Herault testified he tried to help Schaan after seeing the man hit his head on a bedpost and then the concrete floor during what he believed was an overdose. Schaan died on Feb. 21, 2015 — eight days after he was hospitalized — from the combination of blunt force trauma and cardiac arrest, medical evidence showed. Jurors were given three verdict options: guilty of second-degree murder, guilty of the lesser offence of manslaughter, or not guilty of either charge. Second-degree murder carries a mandatory life-sentence with no chance of parole for 10 years. The maximum sentence for manslaughter — defined as unintentionally causing death — is life in prison. There is no mandatory minimum sentence. “It’s a good decision,” defence lawyer George Combe said about the manslaughter verdict. “At least with manslaughter he has the opportunity to carry on with his life.” But Schaan will never have that opportunity, his relatives said outside court. They described him as free-spirited with a big heart and a great athlete who loved the simple things in life. Although struck with disappointment over the verdict, the victim’s family members are turning their focus to sentencing. Sentencing arguments are scheduled to take place in February. anxiety and uncertainty overshadowed George and Patti Schaan’s lives — until finally they got a diagnosis but the drawn-out diagnosis was draining for him and his wife Patti began getting concerned when her husband started forgetting things George’s family doctor referred him to a neurologist who did some tests and reassured the Regina man there was nothing to worry about During the couple’s conversation with the specialist it came up that Patti was working at Pioneer Village “He said that because of where I was working I was transferring what I was seeing in patients at Pioneer to George’s behaviour,” Patti said we went on a holiday to visit his brother and wife,” Patti said “We were with them for a full week and I mentioned to them things that I was noticing and they also agreed and said ‘You better go and see what you can do.’ ” But the Schaans continued to have concerns They asked to be referred to a second neurologist who did more thorough tests and diagnosed George with dementia — most likely Alzheimer’s disease The neurologist told him to quit driving immediately because of judgment issues and prescribed Aricept The next issue of Headline News will soon be in your inbox Patti can’t help but wonder what might have happened had George been diagnosed earlier “It would have meant he would have been on the drug sooner and you don’t know — would that have helped or not?” she asked CEO of the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan noted a survey done last year for the society asked respondents if they thought they had Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia would they want to get the diagnosis — 96 per cent answered yes it validates their symptoms,” Bracken said A diagnosis allows them to learn about their diagnosis get their power of attorney completed and wills in order and talk to their family about how they want to be cared for and what measures they want in their health-care directives “There are Alzheimer medications available and they are better if they’re started early,” Bracken said but they do for about a third of the population … If they do work they have about a year where their abilities stay the same And when you have a disease that’s progressive staying the same for a year is quite significant.” the Schaans began attending Alzheimer Society programs and started learning about different types of dementia They also joined the society’s support groups — one for George and one for Patti “We can go to staff for help and for concerns that we have and that’s been very beneficial to give me some coping skills,” Patti said “You have somebody who has training in this you have all of these people who are going through the same thing you’re going through.” “It’s not that you’re drifting apart — there’s a reason for this,” Patti said “It takes away that uncertainty — once you know what you’re dealing with pcowan@postmedia.com This website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.
