I would not recommend this pan!Date published: 2018-06-12Rated 4 out of 5 by KathyG from Great pan, but heavy After purchasing an Induction Range/Cooktop, I went went searching for a large pan with high sides. I found that in this All-Clad pan. I love the way it cooks! Two things to consider - it is very heavy and the handle on top gets hot. I wish the main handle and the handle on top were coated for easier handling. But it cooks so well, I am learning to adapt to these differences between All-Clad and my Circulon.Date published: 2018-01-03Rated 5 out of 5 by CulinaryCailliers from All Clad excellence We have a complete All Clad Stainless Steel set and decided to purchase a couple of non-stick pans and we are very happy we did, they work wonderfully.Date published: 2017-06-13Rated 2 out of 5 by qqmom from The pan is ok, but the bottom scratch my cooktop The bottom has certain design and is not smooth.

This is the first non stick that I have bought. It's a fabulous pan. I have made everything from braised short ribs to soup in it. Cooks evenly and very easy to clean I highly recommend this pan.Date published: 2017-05-27
Does this pan come in stainless or brushed stainless?Hi Deborah, If you're asking if the exterior is available in polished or brushed stainless, unfortunately, the answer is no.Date published: 2019-12-13
What causes the bottom of this pan to scratch the stove top? Are there grooves on the bottom?Hi dcwillis - The only thing that might be causing this is the induction compatible steel base. Thanks!Date published: 2019-07-31
Is the 6qt really 5" high, or is it 5" high with the lid on? I ask because the pictures, if accurate, show the 4qt and the 6qt to be the same height with only the diameters being different. The 4qt is supposed to be 3.5" high.

He was my cream, and I was his coffee - And when you poured us together, it was something.
Look, I can even get romantic over coffee.
Here's why:
|"Delicious Goodness in a Cup!"
I was approached by Liz over at Nuvia Cafe asking me if I would like to review an exciting new product, a breakthrough in healthy coffee. She said that they were looking for reviews of this new product and so were giving away free samples.
Did she say COFFEE? HEALTHY COFFEE?
Did she say FREE SAMPLES???
Blinded by my love of all things coffee (and all things free), I thought about it for all of 1.3 seconds and then eagerly sent her my contact info.
I've received product-review requests from others in my over a year of blogging, but wasn't quite sure I wanted to take my blog in that direction, and no other product really ever caught my eye or suited my blog, in my opinion.
Until this.
So here it is...my first ever review of a product. (Ahem...)
First off, some background:
Nuvia is Sumatran Arabica coffee infused with a trifecta of legendary ingredients: Ganoderma (an immune enhancer), African Mango (a natural appetite suppressant) and Pomegranate (a super antioxidant). The Sumatran coffee beans are roasted to perfection yielding a superior flavor that is rustic, yet rich and full bodied.
It claims to support healthy energy, support immune health & is a premium appetite suppressant.
I don't know about you, but I could use a good appetite suppressant in my life, especially after my overindulgent summer this year.
One thing I really like about Nuvia Cafe - other than its GREAT taste - is that it is an instant coffee. I know a lot of people screw their noses up at instant coffee, but I'm not one of them. In fact, currently I don't even own a French press or a drip coffee maker, so I absolutely love the idea of an instant coffee. And this coffee is truly delish! The convenient little pouches are great. I love that I can just chuck one in my bag (or two or three) and take it with me. All it takes is a mug, 6-8 ounces of hot water and a pack of Nuvia and you're set for a great coffee experience.

Do I Need To Use My Estate Agent's In-House Mortgage Broker?
8th June 2017
Legally you're under no obligation to use the mortgage broker your estate agent recommends when buying a property. They might try to pressure you into using their in-house broker, but you're always free to do your own research and use an independent broker you trust to find you the right deal.
Why do estate agents recommend using their in-house mortgage broker?
Should I use my estate agent's broker?
If you're buying a home, you might find the estate agent you're dealing with stating you have to use their in-house mortgage broker to find your mortgage. They may even threaten that you'll miss out on the property unless you use their broker of choice. However, this isn't true.
Estate agents have no control over which mortgage broker you use, but they may attempt to pressure you into using their in-house broker because it could be beneficial for them.
There are a few options when it comes to deciding on how to get a mortgage. You can seek advice from an independent mortgage broker, go directly to the lender, or use the broker your estate agent recommends, but the choice is yours - not your estate agent's.
Why do estate agents say you need to use their in-house mortgage broker?
There are a number of reasons why estate agents encourage buyers to use their in-house mortgage broker.
Generally, it's because they have a commercial deal whereby they're paid a fee for every recommendation they make. Some also might have sales targets to hit.
You might start to feel the pressure more if the property they're selling is in demand, as a pool of buyers to choose from means they'll pick whoever's going to make them money.
However, none of these reasons mean you're obliged to use their in-house broker.
Should I use my estate agent's broker?
There's no right or wrong answer, but it's important to remember that it's completely up to you which broker you use.
Do you like them?
You're likely to be in contact with your mortgage adviser a fair amount. It's therefore important you trust them to find you the right deal, and if you like and trust the adviser recommended by the estate agent, it could be a good option.
Have you looked around at mortgage deals?
Before you commit to using your estate agent's in-house mortgage broker, it's a good idea to have a look around to familiarise yourself with the deals available.
It's also important to consider that some brokers are tied to a few lenders, which means they can't search the whole market. A broker who looks at the whole market is likely to find you the most suitable deal.
Do they charge a fee?
If the in-house broker charges a fee, look elsewhere. Many mortgage brokers are fee-free, and instead receive a small percentage of the mortgage amount from the lender rather than charging the customer.
Is their service good?
Sometimes you could find that an independent broker gives you a better service than the broker your estate agent recommends. This isn't true in all cases, but as independent brokers rely on word of mouth for recommendations, it's in their interests to deliver on service. If the in-house broker is getting constant business from an estate agent regardless of your recommendation, you might be viewed more as a means to an end.
Reading online reviews will give you an unbiased indication of the type of service you can expect - Trustpilot is a good place to start.
Are they looking after your best interests?
Remember that as the estate agent is working in the interests of the seller, there could be a conflict of interest. A mortgage broker should have your best interests at heart, so if you feel like you're being pressured into a deal to move things forward quickly and keep the seller happy, look elsewhere.
The most important things to consider when choosing your mortgage broker are their fees, whether they search the whole of the market to find you the most suitable deal, and your personal preferences. You'll be in regular contact with your adviser, so it's worth choosing someone you get on with.
Other ways to get a mortgage
Go direct to your lender
Speaking to your bank before deciding on a mortgage broker is a good way to establish which deals are out there, and how much you could be paying. However, lenders can't advise you of a better deal with another lender as they can only see their own products, so it's advisable to look around before you commit.
It's likely you'll have to organise your mortgage face-to-face or on the phone if you choose to go directly to your lender, which can be time-consuming.
Use a mortgage broker
Most mortgage brokers work with a panel of lenders, including most high street banks. Others work with a mortgage club, meaning they have access to the 'intermediary market' and can search across deals for a large number of lenders. Trussle has access to the imtermediary market and searches more than 11,000 deals from over 90 lenders.
It's advisable to use a mortgage broker if your income is complicated - for instance if you're self-employed, or have a less common salary structure. You can choose to use either a traditional mortgage adviser or an online broker - both will take all your details into account to find the right deal.
Online mortgage brokers like Trussle give you the benefit of managing your application online, and even from your mobile. You'll still get the same personal service from a real adviser - just at a time that suits you.

Just 10 years ago, it seemed as if the U.S. was poised to experience a sharp increase in the number of fatal car accidents across the country. As the number of auto accident deaths due to drunk driving began to decrease, the problem of distracted driving emerged and became a serious safety threat. Nevertheless, statistics indicate that the number of fatal car accidents is decreasing across the country.
Experts are hard pressed to identify a singular cause for the decrease, but suggest that a variety of factors have contributed to general safety on our nation's highways. First, many states, including Pennsylvania, have enacted graduated driver's license laws aimed at ensuring that new teen drivers are better drivers by the time they receive their unrestricted licenses. Second, people are generally more careful about wearing their seat belts when they are behind the wheel. In fact, on average, approximately 86 percent of all drivers in the U.S. regularly wear their safety belts. Finally, better medical care and increased attention to safety in automobile design have also contributed to the decrease in fatal car accidents.
Despite the recent decline in fatal accidents, experts continue to strive to improve automobile safety. For example, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently announced that it is considering regulations regarding the use of wireless communication systems, which would allow vehicles to communicate with one another. The purpose of these systems would be to allow cars to avoid accidents all together. Indeed, the future promises to bring many more improvements to automobile safety.

STAGE OF GLOBAL CONQUEST: Facebook's designated "adult," the 41-year-old Harvard M.B.A. arrived from Google in 2008 to bring professional management to the fratty start-up.
NETWORK EFFECT: Sandberg is Silicon Valley's most high-profile female executive and organizes monthly powwows with other influential women at her home. A few men have made the guest list, including Mike Bloomberg, Bono, and Rupert Murdoch.
POLITICAL AMBITIONS: Sandberg was chief of staff to former Treasury secretary Larry Summers. Most people assume she'll end up back in Washington in a significant role.
ON THE RECORD: In a Barnard College commencement address this year, Sandberg said, "As men get more successful and powerful, both men and women like them better. As women get more powerful and successful, everyone, including women, likes them less."
The former chief of staff to Larry Summers is widely expected to return to Washington soon.

I have Dell Poweredge server with plastic blockers inside their ethernet ports. My problem is that I don't know how to take it out. You can see photo of the plug here:
I tried to pull them out, or to squeeze and then pull, but they don't move. I cannot find anything on the Dell installation manual, so it's probably not provided by Dell.
Did you see this kind of plugs and do you know how to take them out without risking to break something?

A to Z. Bloc Party (edgy, Sauvignon Blanc); Cat Power (melodic, Chardonnay); The Last Town Chorus (haunting, Pinot Noir); The Libertines (adolescent, Beaujolais); The New Pornographers (imitative, Merlot); Morrissey (wistful, Syrah); Mozart (profound, Nebbiolo); Ryan Adams (desperate, Marsanne); Silversun Pickups (restless, Cabernet); Soul Coughing (cynical, Sangiovese); Tom Waits (dark, Zinfandel). I circled back thinking about this one time, the one moment I experienced while eating and drinking in an Italian enoteca in December 2005. I was in Milan to see the exhibit "Caravaggio and his European Influence" at the Palazzo Reale. The catalog opens with the savage description of his life:
"His was a violent life. An agonizing, seductive violence, written by the sword and redeemed by the brush. A sword with which he brought death, a brush with which he traced his path to eternity."
Caravaggio's (regrettably) short life was epitomized in his dramatic Baroque paintings. He shunned traditional models for his friends from the messed-up milieu of Naples and Southern Italy. He brought realism into the hugely popular Mannerist style that ended the High Renaissance of Italian art. If I had to compile a soundtrack to his life, it was made clear to me the night after the exhibit in that dark and degenerate Italian gastro-pub that spewed watered down beer from three taps underneath a chalkboard with an assortment of made-to-order panini. The wine list was underwhelming, predominantly red with a local North Western Italian whites section that was two or three glasses long. I settled my order quickly. Grilled eggplant with mozzarella and basil, drizzled inside and out on the bread with an aged, viscous balsamic vinegar. Sided with a roasted tomato quartered. The food on the plate was black and red and white. Seared, dripping and savory. I ordered an Aglianico by the glass and the black liquid was overflowing with concentration and tannin. The inky wine was dark and brooding, as if poured directly from the master's self-portrait, Bacchus.
As I chewed my food and swilled my wine, looking at the tortured souls huddled in the back of the bar chain smoking and writing hopeless novellas. Memories full of Caravaggio paintings, mouth full of savage Southern Italian wine, I strained a glimpse into their desperate eyes while my ears were filled with the complex moodiness of Radiohead.
You are the sun and moon and stars, are you
And I could never run away from you
You try at working out chaotic things
And why should I believe myself, not you?
It's like the world is going to end so soon
And why should I believe myself?
You, me and everything caught in the fire
I can see me drowning, caught in the fire
The earlier version finishes with the following:
Hey the sun and moon and stars are yeah…
But I won't share myself with you
You to me.

Non-nutrient components of varieties of cassava, Manihot esculenta, crantz grown and consumed in Bayelsa State, Nigeria

The importance of quantification of non-nutrient components of foods in the determination of the adequacy of such materials as food nutrients has continued to be well recognized. Samples of varieties of cassava – Manihot esculenta crantz were harvested fresh from farms in Okutukutu, Yenagoa region in Bayelsa state, Nigeria. Determination of alkaloids was done using gravimetric method of Harbone, while the tannins were analyzed using Folin-Denis Spectrophotometric method. Phytates and oxalates were determined using spectrophotometric and potassium permanganate methods respectively. Phytochemical studies showed that the non-nutritive components, alkaloids and tannins ranged from 2.37 – 3.39, and 9.65 – 9.99(%) respectively. Other anti-nutritional factors oxalates and phytates content were from 108.6 – 283.89 and 0.071 – 0.092 respectively (g/100g). Phytates levels were deemed low and should not pose any negative influence on the mineral nutrition of consumers of those cassava varieties. Since the phytochemicals and oxalates levels were deemed high in the raw cassava pulp, they should not be consumed as harvested, rather should be subjected to further processing so as to reduce the non-nutrient components to minimal acceptable levels before consumption.
Key words: Cassava- Manihot esculenta , alkaloids, tannins, phytates, oxalates, non nutrient components.

What is a crown?
A crown is a dental restoration that can be used for a number of purposes. One of the most common uses of a dental crown is to restore a tooth that is significantly damaged or decayed. The crown is custom made to fit over the tooth, entirely covering it beginning at the gums. Your dental crown will be made to match the shape and size of your natural tooth.
Do I need a crown?
A custom dental crown can effectively restore the health and function of your smile. Our friendly dentists, Dr. Huber, Dr. Pelkey and Dr. Overmyer, may suggest a crown to:
- Repair a severely decayed or damaged tooth
- Attach a dental bridge
- Protect a tooth after root canal therapy
- Enhance the beauty of your smile
- Strengthen a fractured or weakened tooth

CEREC technology allows us to design, create, and place your porcelain dental crown in just one visit to Ohio Urgent Dental Care.

Bathing the Elephants
Posted: June 27, 2012
The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus is in Phoenix for a series of shows at US Airways Center (June 27 - July 2). Which means, of course, it's time to bathe the elephants!
Check out this video of three pachyderms enjoying a scrub down and shower on the south side of USAC, and be sure to get your tickets to see them in action during the "Greatest Show on Earth."

Ty Mansfield arrived Friday at the first large-scale conference held by North Star, an LDS-based gay support group, with several goals in mind.
For one, North Star's president hoped more than 40 sessions at the Utah Valley Convention Center in Provo, spread across Friday and Saturday, would provide support and resources for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who experience same-sex attraction and desire to live in harmony with the church's teachings, doctrines and values.
Another goal for the conference titled "A Home in the Gospel of Christ" was to spread a message to Mormons and others that many Latter-day Saints who experience same-sex attraction maintain their faith and membership, though North Star has no official tie to the church.

Turning three is a great age to be so let's celebrate with a boy's birthday card today!
I've used the die cut numbers from Simple Stories' Let's Party collection on a number of birthday cards. They're a great size to work with and they make the card more personalized.
Here's a look at the Pocket Pieces — they come in a package of twenty (they even fit 3x4 pockets). They're a whole lot of fun and remind me of the numbered birthday candles you top a birthday cake with.
If you've had your eye on this collection, be sure to check the Paper Issues store for this and other new Simple Stories collections (as well as other new additions). You can save 20% with the code LISA20.
Have a great day!

Tonight proved to be a successful one for English football, with both Arsenal and Chelsea securing spots in the Champions League knockout stages, joining Manchester United and Manchester City.
The Blues enjoyed perhaps the more relaxed of the two sides' evenings with a routine 1-0 home win over Steaua Bucharest, which was enough to see them top Group E. Demba Ba's prodded effort in the 11th minute ultimately proved to be the decisive moment, although the Senegalese forward had other chances to make the game much more comfortable for Jose Mourinho.
Arsenal were made to sweat for their route into the last 16, with defeat at the hands of Napoli only enough thanks to their superior goal difference. Gonzalo Higuain – a target for Arsene Wenger's side over the summer – netted the opening goal with just over 15 minutes to play before Jose Callejon almost set a barnstorming finish with an injury time effort after Arsenal were reduced to 10 men as Mikel Arteta received a second yellow card. The Italians' efforts were eventually in vain with Dortmund topping the group thanks to a 2-1 victory over Marseille – who ended their six games with zero points.

You are currently browsing the monthly archive for November 2013.
I hope you find this as enriching as I did. If you were after a reflection for today or this week, I encourage you to have a read and let me know what you thought or felt.
As I read it, it took me to reflect on when I lost my own father at the age of 14. I was 'blessed' to a certain degree with a level of comprehension of 'living with the end in mind' as a result. It has truly shaped my outlook on life, yet still I have so much to learn of course. This 'living with the end in mind' is very much like 'beginning with the end in mind' isn't it and each day is truly a beginning.
I found it encouraging of things to focus on in my life and despite my own infusion of the value of life through my father's loss I still read this article and understood there were areas I needed so much more to focus on.
I also found it such a magical article in light of the journey many make in a palliative situation, and also how it connected me to some degree with some understanding of what Dad might have gone through. It made me a little sad and a little happy at the same time as I approach the age myself where he did leave us for a better place.
I have a tear in my eye as I reflect upon how intertwined his heart still remains in mine and those of my wife and children through me. This article helped me also look upon the ways I fail them and where I could love them more as is my privileged role to perform.
It goes without saying that leaders do begin with the end in mind and the truly great leaders, live with the end in mind.
Lead anyway,

These are the key nectars of what I learned online.
5 years of testing and experimenting did give me an experience which is priceless.
The only context in which I talk about these strategies in detail is within one on one coaching sessions.
In other terms, you get them if you hire me.
There is simply no way around. You won't get them for free.
What you do get for free are general ideas and processes but the key details that lead to success stay well guarded in my mind.
Why is that?
I give away so much on other topics...
Why not about business success?
It is quite simple actually: competition is fierce.
The edge I gained over the years is precisely because I know certain things that only very few know.
If I was giving these techniques away to everyone, they would become useless in just an instant.
You want me to trust you and reveal to you the secrets I found?
Well, you'll have to show me that you trust me too by signing up for some coaching as well.
Now is the time though.
If you check my fees, you will be stunned to see how affordable my services are.
At this stage I can't be bothered with setting up different rates for business or life topics.
This is why I offer one single coaching fee to everyone, no matter what I coach you on.
Look, I am truly thrilled with helping others reach business success, but only a few have the guts to really go for it.
Unless you are 100% committed to your success, you'll crash before even starting.
This small coaching commitment you take when working with me is a small guarantee for me that I won't invest my time into someone who does not have the guts to take a simple first step.
Can't take that first step?
No problem. It means that you don't value enough what I have to offer and prefer finding inspiration somewhere else.
It means we won't work together.
On the other hand, if you do feel this inner call and response and know that what I own is a source of inspiration and interest for you, get in touch and tell me about your plans and I'll tell you what I know.
You 'll need to do that within a coaching session.

text: Exiled Ex-PM Allowed to Return to Pakistan Court ruling another blow to Musharraf By Heather McPherson, Newser User Posted Aug 23, 2007 10:20 AM CDT 0 comments Exiled Ex-PM Allowed to Return to Pakistan Nawaz Sharif, May 25th 2007 interview. (AlJazeeraEnglish (YouTube)) (Newser) – Former PM Nawaz Sharif may return to Pakistan from exile, the country's Supreme Court ruled today, dealing another blow president Pervez Musharraf. Sharif had already declared his intentions to challenge the "dictatorship" of Musharraf, who deposed Sharif in a 1999 coup, in upcoming elections. But Sharif, the BBC reports, could still face criminal charges if he returns to Pakistan. Sharif was sentenced to life in prison on charges including treason when Musharraf seized power. He headed instead to Saudi Arabia, part of what authorities say was a deal in which Sharif agreed to avoid Pakistani politics for 10 years—a charge Sharif denies. The court said Sharif, who still heads a religious opposition party, has an "inalienable right" to return. (Read more Nawaz Sharif stories.) View 5 images

Giving to the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC
The Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC integrates the life sciences with the physical, engineering, behavioral, and social sciences to develop new approaches to major diseases and disorders. The institute's research teams are led by scientists who transcend conventional disciplinary boundaries as they seek innovation and discovery in the service of health.
One unifying theme of the institute's research program is based on a simple fact: Fifty percent of all human disease is related to the nervous system. Institute scientists integrate new technologies and foster multidisciplinary thinking to understand how the brain develops, makes choices, and responds to disease and injury.
Scientists in the institute's Computational Psychiatry Unit, for example, work across disciplines to understand the neural computations involved in human cognition and such psychiatric disorders as depression, dementia, post-traumatic stress disorder, chronic addiction, and autism spectrum disorders. Other institute researchers work to develop noninvasive approaches to treating brain disorders through neurostimulation with ultrasound. Using this innovative approach, they seek to arrest intractable seizures, reduce symptoms of major depression, ameliorate chronic pain, treat motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease, and facilitate attention, learning, and memory in dementia.
Still other research teams tackle challenges as varied as cardiac rehabilitation, cancer, and immunology. The institute already has 27 such research teams with more than 300 faculty, students, and staff in place. Together, these teams will discover fundamental processes of life and solve major health challenges facing people throughout the world.

After months of anticipation my kid brothers' dreams finally came true on July 17, as the three of us walked into the Embassy Suites Dallas-Frisco/Hotel for the ScrewAttack Gaming Convention.
Mikhail and Luka had a pocket full of cash each for the dealer room, a 24-hour arcade with dozens of old-school games including Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter 2, and of course their older brother — me — playing chaperone.
That meant I'd have forgo the wild con-parties, non-casual drinking and nerd-based debauchery of every flavor. Barely a minute into our three-day quest, and I was already "chaper-groaning."
But just as I was preparing myself for the worst, my youngest brother told me his plan for the weekend. He wanted to get as many of his favorite YouTube personalities as he could to sign his copy of the 1987 Nintendo Entertainment System game Rad Racer, thereby creating the raddest copy of Rad Racer known to man.
Challenge accepted.
Within the first 10 minutes of arriving we spotted our first two minor celebrities, SpaceHamster and Jirard "Dragonrider" Khalil. We quickly procured their John Hancocks and headed into the main hall.
Described as a 72-hour gaming slumber party, the irregularly scheduled con is thrown by Flower Mound-based production company ScrewAttack. They produce YouTube videos, video games and live events like SGC, all geared toward the greater gaming community. More than 5000 gamers were in attendance for the opening ceremony.
And despite the commotion and excitement, the con began in silence — a tribute to the late Nintendo President Satoru Iwata, who passed away July 11.
Soon after, ScrewAttack "Director of Awesome" and US Air Force Sergeant Angel Rodriguez transmuted the somber silence into screams of inspirational giddiness.
"No matter where you are, who you are, where you're from, you are never alone," Rodriguez said with the cadence and looks of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
The frenzy whipped up by SGC's sermon-like opening ceremony was so great that the hall was left practically barren by the time the Q and A started. No one had questions, they all knew what they were here for.
For me and my brothers, it was the raddest video game ever. Arguably the biggest guests at the con were the English voice cast of uber popular anime series Dragonball Z, the perfect group to sign our copy of Rad Racer.
I concocted the plan of attack while my brothers dug through dusty boxes of vintage video games. As we searched for hidden gems at reasonable prices, North Texas locals Jay Hunter and Billy Chaser dug alongside us. Most people wouldn't know these two, but Luka recognized them instantly from their YouTube show The Game Chasers, adding two more signatures to our prize.
We skipped the Dragonball panel and headed straight to the signing room, only to find that an unofficial crowd had already formed. Not one to stand on ceremony, Luka immediately sat down in front of the door to the signing room, usurping the role of first in line from some guy in a red shirt.
We were in perfect position, and an hour and a half early. But things turned dark pretty quickly from here.
Hundreds of freaks and geeks joined the crowd by the minute, waiting for their chance to meet the guys and gals who voice their favorite cartoon. Soon hotel staff and con volunteers demanded we disband. They threatened to take away our badges, and suddenly I was alone in a sea of unsanctioned fanboys.

When I caught up to my brothers, I demanded an explanation for their mutiny. "They were going to take our badges," Mikhail said. "Plus the cast of Dragonball Z aren't really video game people."
That's when I realized this weekend wasn't about autographs, it was about my brothers' love for all things pixelated and interactive. There were video games to play, and that seemed far more important than waiting in line.
All-in-all, Luka got his copy of Rad Racer signed by 10 YouTube personalities and Jon St. John, the voice of the iconic stripper-saving-badass Duke Nukem.
We gushed over what is indeed the raddest copy of the 28-year-old racing game while Mikhail destroyed a table of 20-somethings with his prized YuGiOh deck.
Not everyone who signed my brother's game understood his goal, but the ones who did loved the idea. I suppose when thousands of people show up to a hotel in Frisco to celebrate people who earn a living by playing video games and making funny voices, you either get it, or you don't.

Statskontoret (The Swedish Agency for Public Management) has been commissioned by the government to conduct an agency analysis of the Swedish National Agency for Education (Skolverket). We have carried out a general analysis of the conditions, operations and results of the National Agency for Education. In addition, we have put forward a number of proposals to the government and to the National Agency for Education.
Municipalities and independent schools are responsible for the education being carried out in the Swedish education system. The government's ability to directly influence the development of schools is limited, and the National Agency for Education is an important agency for the government's schools policy.
However, Statskontoret has found shortcomings in both the government's management of the National Agency for Education and the agency's management and monitoring of its operations. This impairs the agency's chances of achieving good results and using its resources in the best possible way. Statskontoret therefore considers that the National Agency for Education needs a fresh start. The government needs to change its governance, and the National Agency for Education needs to develop its organisation, management and monitoring.
The government has managed the National Agency for Education through a large number of commissions, often very detailed. The large number of government commissions disrupts ongoing operations at the National Agency for Education, such as monitoring the development of the education system. The government's micromanagement also results in the agency's initiatives being less effective, and the government's school policy thus becomes less effective.
The government has also largely controlled the National Agency for Education's funding by earmarking funds for specific government commissions. This locks funds and is an obstacle to the National Agency for Education using the funds efficiently. The agency's administrative appropriation only covers about one-third of its operating costs, which has implications for the agency's skills provision.
The micromanagement of the National Agency for Education has led to the government's expectations of what the agency should do and achieve becoming unclear. Through its micromanagement, the government has in effect taken over the main responsibility for the planning and coordination of operations at the National Agency for Education. This makes it harder for the government to hold the National Agency for Education accountable, if the agency does not achieve good results.
The National Agency for Education has grown considerably in recent years and its commission has changed as school policy has changed over time. The agency must therefore be flexible and continuously develop its operations. The National Agency for Education has not given adequate priority to its own development of operations and has only slowly adapted to its changing commission. The organisation no longer fulfils its operational needs. Functions such as finance, procurement, IT and performance monitoring have not developed in step with the expansion of the agency. The National Agency for Education has an accumulated need of developing its operations in order to carry out its commission in the best way.
The National Agency for Education has evolved into a mainly assignment based organisation that carries out its operations in project form. At the same time, the agency is a line organisation in which projects are mainly staffed and operated within the units. This impairs the use of the agency's overall expertise in the best way and hampers its coordination of the many and often similar government commissions. The management, however, controls the agency mainly through a large number of projects and other tasks. For these reasons, the management has difficulties in controlling and monitoring operations.
The National Agency for Education's governance of its IT operations has long been problematic which hampers its ability to run operations efficiently. For example, the agency lacks sufficient IT systems to handle government grants and statistics. The agency's long processing times for certification of teachers are also partly due to the difficulty of developing IT systems for such processing.
Performance reporting by the National Agency for Education is fragmented and the agency rarely reports on the effects of its operations. That is partly because the government's large number of requirements which determines the agency's reporting. The agency's monitoring and evaluation of operations do not give the government sufficient information to assess whether the agency achieves good results. This makes the government's strategic management of the agency more difficult.
The National Agency for Education is a director-general governed agency. According to the government's criteria it would however be better suited as an agency governed by a board. Statskontoret also considers that a board would be a support for the Director-General, both in the internal process of change and in the dialogue with the Government Offices.
The National Agency for Education has a Deputy Director-General appointed by the government. Such a Deputy Director-General has a difficult role in the chain of command, and only a few agencies have a Deputy Director-General. Statskontoret sees no special reasons for the government to continue to appoint a Deputy Director- General for the National Agency for Education.
Statskontoret proposes that the government

intensive research process beforehand. De Mey merges dance, music, and digital
technology to achieve formal structures wherein the performers are able to move

versus organic, mathematics versus nature, science versus poetry. As in a
particle accelerator, performers and musicians collide with each other and seek
new compositions.

An interdisciplinary show
Thierry De Mey is aiming to produce an original art form in which the disciplines enrich one another. Not a multidisciplinary form, but an interdisciplinary one in the sense of a fusion and implying a real change of perspective. A bold project that challenges the boundaries between the musical gesture and the choreographic gesture, encouraging the musicians to consider their role as conveyors of sounds in a different way and the dancers to appropriate other means of writing… How can these tools of composition associated with technological advances bounce off the various disciplines while respecting what is specific to each one?
Aware of the dangers that accompany the introduction of new technologies to art – the cult of the technology itself and standardisation – Thierry De Mey still believes that we cannot ignore evolutions that profoundly modify our individual and collective lives. According to him, an artist must confront the fracture zones of the day, not least the rapid development of digital technologies.
Since 1993 Thierry De Mey has regularly been collaborating with Ircam in Paris, a unique place where artistic sensibilities and scientific innovation converge. In 2013, he undertook a piece of pure research, Taxinomie, aiming to analyse and digitally model a catalogue of remarkable structures of movement (multiple pendulums, bat flights, swarms of starlings, crawling, reversing gravity…) in order to create ways of generating sound synthesis and musical and choreographic structures. His concern, however, was always to guarantee the composer's creative autonomy by insisting that the technology embrace the artistic event and not vice versa.
This research project has of course resulted in the creation of digital tools of composition (that was its original objective), but it also stimulatednew questions. These have produced several new works: music ofgestures or installations and a stage show. Starting with digital technologies, SIMPLEXITY la beauté du geste (The beauty of the gesture) aimsto implement strategies for the creation of movement on several levels:musical and choreographic, auditory and visual, abstract and physical.
Thierry De Mey is fascinated by written structures. Yet for him, the structure is not the art form: a work of art emerges from the magical encounter between a structure, the form it is given, the content that is brought to it and the emotion that this meaning generates. The structure must be brimming with life. What is essential is the way in which the performers – musicians and dancers, the go-betweens between the work and the audience – can appropriate structures for themselves and give them their qualities. SIMPLEXITY is inspired by technology, but the technology will not be the focus. It starts from structural principles but relies on individuals to enrich and explode these structures.
A presential dramaturgy
Thierry De Mey is not unaware of the constraints placed by the theatrical setting on time, space and perception, and that a stage show involves the question of a 'dramaturgical composition' unfolding over a given arc of time.
Adopting a quasi-cinematographic approach, Thierry De Mey has written a very detailed storyboard for the work, a succession of modules and 'levels' that he will show freely on stage. Of variable running time, size and numbers of people involved, from a solo to a tutti for ten performers, with or without visible technology, these sections will open up the movement through music and dance, sometimes in isolation, sometimes blended together, in a continuum ranging from very written structures to freer forms. These modules will be created independently – some will also maintain an autonomous existence outside SIMPLEXITY – but they will be able to contaminate, change and merge with one another when they meet on stage.
This storyboard meets a requirement that is more compositional than it is narrative; bringing alive an experience, an abstract emotion passed on from human to human. The theme running through the show is one that has inspired all of Thierry De Mey's work: the quest for a possible link between the structure and its incarnation, between technology and the living, between mathematics and nature, between the scientific and the poetic.
This quest for reconciliation is expressed through all the dimensions in the show: from the instrumental research conducted with musicians from the Ensemble intercontemporain all the way to the latest advances in motion capture undertaken within Charleroi Danses in partnership with researchers from UMONS/NUMEDIART (Mons), from the technological and computer expertise of Ircam all the way to stage lighting. Thierry De Mey is designing a set that will transpose an abstraction of natural phenomena to the stage. Starting from series of photographs that have been taken at regular intervals (a forest in autumn, a salt storm on the site of the Aral Sea, a gale in the North Sea…), he is going to sample the evolution of light and use this data to transpose it to the stage. The natural referents will no longer be there, but they should still be subconsciously felt by the audience.
The basis of SIMPLEXITY is the question it asks about time. In today's society, directional time is mostly consumed by functionality. Thierry De Mey sets presential time against this diktat of productivity, inviting the audience to experience their own presence. It is this desire that has led the composer-producer to develop a form for the stage, a show in which living beings, go-betweens, share a period of time with the audience.Back to top
Thierry De Mey (b. 1956) is a composer and filmmaker. An instinctive feel for movement guides his entire work, allowing him to tackle and integrate a variety of disciplines. The premise behind his musical and filmic writing is the desire for rhythm to be experienced within the body or bodies, revealing the musical meaning for the author, performer, and audience. He has developed a system of musical writing for movement used in pieces where the visual and choreographic aspects are just as important as the gesture producing the sound, as in Musique de tables (1987), Silence must be! (2002), and Light Music (2004), which premiered at the Biennale Musiques en Scène festival in Lyon that year. A large part of his music production is intended for dance and cinema. De Mey has often been more than a composer for choreographers Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Wim Vandekeybus, and his sister, Michèle Anne De Mey, offering collaboration through the invention of 'formal strategies' – a favourite expression of his. Among his main work is Rosas danst Rosas, Amor constante, April me, Kinok (choreography by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker), What the body does not remember, Les porteuses de mauvaises nouvelles, Le poids de la main (choreography by Wim Vandekeybus), Dantons Töd (conducted by Bob Wilson), Musique de table, Frisking pour percussions, un quatuor à cordes, Counter Phrases, etc. He participated in the founding of the musical ensemble Maximalist! and the Ictus ensemble, which created several of his pieces (conducted by Georges Elie Octors). His music has been performed by the Arditti Quartet, Hilliard Ensemble, London Sinfonietta, Ensemble Modern, Musikfabrik, and Orchestre Symphonique de Lille. De Mey's installations, in which music, dance, video, and interactive processes work together, have been presented at events like the Venice and Lyon biennials, as well as in many museums. His work has received national and international awards (Bessie Award, Eve du Spectacle, Forum des compositeurs de l'Unesco, FIPA, and others). His film/installation Deep in the wood (2002-2004) involved more than 70 dancers and choreographers. For Counter Phrases (2003-2004), nine composers answered his dance/film invitation: Steve Reich, Fausto Romitelli, Magnus Lindberg, Toshio Hosokawa, Georges Aperghis, Jonathan Harvey, Luca Francesconi, Robin De Raaf, and Stefan Van Eycken. In 2003, his working process with Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker for April me was the subject of a documentary entitled Corps accord produced by Arte, which has also broadcast and co-produced most of his films. In 2006, De Mey realised an installation adapted from Perrault's tale Barbe Bleue (Bluebeard), plus a film, One Flat Thing Reproduced, based on the choreography of William Forsythe. In 2007, he made From Inside, an interactive installation in the form of a triptych. For the 2009 Charleroi Danses Biennale, he created Equi Voci, a polyptych of dance films accompanied by orchestral music that includes Prélude à la mer, a film based on one of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker's most beautiful choreographies, which he shot by the Aral Sea. His latest film, La Valse, choreographed by ZOO/Thomas Hauert, completes and closes this project. His installation Rémanences was made in Belgium and France in 2010 using a thermal camera, as part of the VIA and EXIT festivals. De Mey is currently an associated artist at Charleroi Danses. His composition Traceless, for five musicians, premiered last May with soloists from the Ensemble Intercontemporain at the Acht Brücken Festival in Cologne. His latest installation, Solid Traces, opened the 2015 edition of Charleroi Danses' Biennale, coinciding with the launch of a DVD box set of the artist's films. Beyond the Biennale, De Mey presented Ripple Marks at the Philharmonie de Paris, a work combining spectral music, stage production, and video, along with one of the phases in the development of his vast project entitled SIMPLEXITY la beauté du geste, a piece for five musicians and five dancers to premiere at the Kunstenfestivaldesarts in 2016.
Ensemble Intercontemporain was founded by Pierre Boulez in 1976 with the support of Michel Guy (then Secretary of State for Culture) and in collaboration with Nicholas Snowman. It is a group of 31 soloists who share the same passion for music from the 20th century to the present day. A permanent setup, the musicians are involved in the Ensemble's aim of disseminating, performing, and creating music. Under the direction of composer and conductor Matthias Pintscher, it works alongside composers exploring instrumental techniques, as well as on projects that combine music, dance, theatre, film, video, and visual art. Every year, it commissions and performs new works that are then added to its repertoire. In collaboration with Ircam, Ensemble Intercontemporain participates in projects that include new sound-generation technology. Its performances for young audiences and the training it provides for young instrumentalists, conductors, and composers, as well as its many outreach activities, demonstrates the Ensemble's profound commitment to the service of musical transmission and education, which is acknowledged around the world.
Ircam (Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music) is one of the world's largest public research centres dedicated to musical creation and scientific research. A unique place where artistic sensibilities and scientific and technological innovation meet, the Institute has been run by Frank Madlener since 2006 and now numbers over 160 people. Ircam works on the three principal activities of creation, research, and transmission during its season in Paris. It also tours throughout France and abroad, and attends ManiFeste, an international festival and multidisciplinary academy combined. Founded by Pierre Boulez, Ircam is associated with the Centre Pompidou and comes under the aegis of the Ministry of Culture and Communication. Supported institutionally from the outset by the Ministry, the STMS joint research lab (sciences and technologies for music and sound), housed at Ircam, is further supported by CNRS and the Pierre and Marie Curie University, and is part of the MuTant team project by Inria.

Technical Paper / Radioactive Waste Management and Disposal / dx.doi.org/10.13182/NT06-A3732
Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
The long-term thermal, hydrologic, and psychrometric storage environment of nuclear waste is analyzed within an emplacement drift at Yucca Mountain Repository in Nevada. Pertinent issues regarding temperature, relative humidity, and liquid water in contact with the waste packages are studied for a modified design currently considered by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). For cost reduction and improved repository performance, the proposed design implements a slight modification in the waste package emplacement sequence and thermal load. The main change is an increase from 44 boiling water reactor (BWR) to 52 BWR fuel assemblies to reduce the number of waste packages for the same storage capacity. The results of the analysis show that acceptable temperature, moderate relative humidity, and no liquid water are expected on the hot waste package including the new BWR containers of the proposed design for the 5000-yr study period. The cold DOE high-level waste and the colder defense spent nuclear fuel containers in the alternative design will experience about the same amount of condensates as those in the DOE baseline design.

Scarlett Johansson: Black Widow's back story in Avengers sequel
- Bang Showbiz
- 21 March 2014
Scarlett Johansson says her Marvel alter-ego Black Widow reveals her "back story" in 2015's 'Avengers Age of Ultron' and she is battling her emotions
Scarlett Johansson says Black Widow "grapples" with the "trauma" she has experienced in the forthcoming Marvel films.
The 29-year-old actress reprises her role as the popular Marvel character - also known as Natasha Romanoff - in the 'Avengers: Age of Ultron', which will be released in 2015, and will tell the "back story" of the highly trained spy.
Talking at the press conference for forthcoming 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier', at London's Dorchester Hotel on Thursday (20.03.14), she said: "You'll get more of Widow's back story in 'Avengers 2'. She has a rich, rich past. She definitely comes from a really dark past, she's had to de-sensitise or de-humanise in way to be able to do and see some of the things she's seen and participated in willingly. And there was probably some kind of people who have that drug description, like mercenary.
"I think she' s sort of now grappling with the fact that she maybe experiencing some trauma from that, or at least that she has feelings about things, maybe she doesn't sleep so well at night. It's hitting her now that she's been acting as a gun for hire, and in doing that she's never really made any active choices. It's like the rug has been pulled from under her feet."
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige previously confirmed he's been in talks about a film based on Johansson's Black Widow character, and the screen beauty insists she'd like to follow the "progression" of her alter-ego.
She added: "More interestingly, what would probably be to follow the progression of that story. And you know, bring her back home, and see where that leads to. Of course that's all in my imaginary next installment. None of that has been .... We've thrown the ball around a little bit but nothing is in the works for that right now."
