using carbon nanotubes, ibm researchers have built the smallest computer logic circuit ever created: a two-transistor "not gate" the size of a single carbon molecule. ibm's phaedon avouris, manager of nanoscale science at ibm research, made the announcement yesterday at an american chemical society meeting, touting the achievement as the next big step in the replacement of today's silicon-based computer chips and the preservation of moore's law.
the nano-circuit not gate (voltage inverter circuit) has a positive transistor and a negative transistor and can change a 1 to a 0 (binary) and vice versa. this is the simplest of the three necessary computing circuits (and gates and or gates are the next steps), but is a big breakthrough because past work with carbon nanotubes has yielded only positive ("p-type") transistors. by heating p-type transistors in a vacuum, the ibm researchers created negative ("n-type") transistors for the first time; the team also found that selected portions of a carbon nanotube could be heated and converted to n-type, which allowed them to create the single carbon molecule not gate. the nanotube circuit also produced a strong enough signal output "to drive other gates or circuits," meaning that complex circuits in chains should be possible. that in turn means that molecular computer chips consisting of "many transistor-embedded logic circuits" can be a viable alternative to today's microprocessors. carbon nanotube-based chips are expected to be at least as fast as today's silicon-based ones, and should produce less heat (since they'll use less power).
ibm hopes to start building carbon nanotube circuits in the next two years or so, but doesn't expect any product to be marketable for another 10 to 15 years.
for more information, please see the associated press item or the reuters item. you can also check out our april news item on ibm's previous carbon nanotube production breakthrough.
sam's opinion
i don't know about you, but i get pretty excited when i read about these nano-computing discoveries. as the a.p. article points out, there are plenty of other teams researching nano-computing and coming up with breakthroughs, and that's even more exciting, since there won't be a single company controlling the pace of progress. at the same time we've also got lots of folks looking into quantum computing, though i have a feeling that's a bit further down the timeline from realization (though you never know). even knowing that nanotube-based molecular chips are probably 15 years away (though i won't be surprised to see them sooner) isn't enough to make these findings less exciting: imagine building a micrprocessor out of something 100k times smaller than one of your hairs but that's 10 times stronger than steel. incredible.
another thing that struck me when i was reading the articles was that moore's law is still intact after 35 years or so. scientists have been predicting an end to moore's law in the next 10 or 15 years because of silicon's physical limitations, but i'm just amazed that a prediction made in 1965 is still holding water. the pace and scope of technological change has been mind-boggling in the last 10 years alone … just think of how big computers were back in 1965, and now we're talking about a single-molecule circuit. who could've guessed gordon moore would hit the nail on the head even now when we're looking at 2ghz processors?
i also would like to point out that the guy running ibm research's nano-science section has perhaps the most appropriate-sounding name for this kind of cool research. phaedon? perfect. :)

this offers another tremendous opportunity, intelligent nano machines. with nano processors, nano machines will have increased intelligence allowing for more applications of greater complexity.
this is a real opportunity. then the paranoid side of me starts to wonder what eveil these nano machines could be used for.

|nano… schmano (11:39am est mon aug 27 2001)
i'm not holding much hope for it…
the "elephant in the living room" is that those little nanotubes need to be patterened into unbelievably sophisticated tapestries – in order to "process" anything at all. from what i can tell, no one has ever made a nanotube that actually is positioned "where we wanted it". like sprinking sugar onto a pie, nanotubes land whereever the hell they feel like it.
the transistor was originally a little block of ge with itsibitsi wires touching the surface. then, they discovered that melting dots of dopant on a thin wafer, it was both more reliable and much higher powered.
then, boffins at texas instruments saw that it could be done on 'one surface' instead of both sides. then they integrated two transistors into a "super transistor". from there, the first "real" integrated circuit, the rtl nand gate. it had 4 transistors.
but from those earliest beginnings — to now, it has literally been a "straight shot", of improving photolithographic technique, improving the quality of the silicon wafers, improving the metals and plastics that make up a chip. nothing radical. just ever smaller.
i have no reason to believe that the technology to organize all those pesky nanotubes – would better be used to fabricate 3d chips. today's chip might be 1 cm on a side (or if you prefer, 10,000,000 nanometers) but it is only 100 nanometers "thick". you could stack a lot of layers into a 1 cm cube. like, 100,000 of them.
a 1 mm "grain of salt" chip would store 1,000 gb.
anyway. nanocomputing is nice, but i predict we'll probably not see practical large-scale uses for it.

when it comes to computers dont u think we will have molecular computer in 10 to 15 years so who cares, i mean yeah its cool u made it but molecular computers are sapsode to be developed in 3 to 5 years and one is more powerfull then all the supercomputers or some bullshit like that
my 2 cents – by ff
|manufacturing (11:47am est mon aug 27 2001)
right now, nanotubes are basically made by throwing the carbon into an arc and extracting the good pieces. it's not a very organized manufacturing process, so we are definitely a few years away from seeing these things in printed circuit boards. however, organic polymers are slowly making their way into electronics. i worked with a research group that was examining energy transfer in electro-luminescent polymers. once the problem of longevity is solved, the extremely cheap cost of manufacturing these products will make carbon based electronics much more favorable. – by laserman

i sat in a lecture 11 years ago on circuits built using nanotubules. it's an interesting idea, but clearly progress has been slow. i think it's more likely that nanotubules might find some use as cladding, insulation, or some other passive kind of function. you might want to check out what kind of gain, current and q they're getting out of their n-type fullerine transistors. my guess is that a practical device of any kind is way out of the question. – by papasmurf
|moore again… (1:44am est tue aug 28 2001)
just touching back to the second comment, in terms of computer power increasing, moore's law was blown out of the water. i belive the actual rate was something along two to three times what moore projected.
as for quantum computing, i agree, probably the next step beyond nano, but to the belife that nano would be eschewed for 3d chips… well, if this were only a question of computing, i would agree, that would be the next logical step before nano. but we are talking nano-tech. development in one area feeds into movment in the others. medicen, computing, enginering, there is an incredible amount of money going into research. many pudits belive that nano-tech, when we get it right, will be the eqivalence of harnessing electricity. nano tech is the future from many points of view, obviously ibm, ray kurswiel, mit, ucla berkely… the list is a long one.
as for practical large scale uses, what pratical use did a house wife in the seventys have for a personal computer? and what pratical uses are there now… the adoption of a set of technoligies lies only partialy in the merits of the technology itself. it's the applications of such that makes or breaks the industry. much is left to be seen, but i have high hopes. – by r-mani

|quantum mechanics work differently (9:42pm est wed aug 29 2001)
some where people started talking about 3d nanochips. one of the things that can be done with molecular level activity is to rely on the quantum mechanics for the activity inside the nanocomputer. at room temperature all the way down to absolute zero molecules are vibrating and transfers of energy take place. so the computer would require no power at all! only if it was frozen all the way down to absolute zero would it stop proceesing information.
there has been lab experiments that have demonstrated the extreme processing speed of molecular circuits operating at around 100 trillion cycles per second. if you use the wired donut approach and 4 cubic nanometers for space, you can have a computer the size of a sugar cube with a trillion of processors and 18.4 quintilion (2^64) of bytes and a proccessing speed of septillions (trillions of trillion s)floating point operations per second!!! – by peter.

probably means a nanotube, sp2 bonded carbon atoms form a graphite-like 2d sheet which is rolled into a tube then capped at either end with half of a buckyball. that's not the process by the way, that's just how a capped single-walled nanotube looks. the tube could be as long as you like, but isn't yet… – by xamos

various 'real' carbon molecules: c60, c72, c84… these are true molecules as they have a precise structure and are self-contained, ie. they are not an 'infinite' lattice like diamond or graphite. carbon nanotubes can be simply a c60 ball cut in half with a rolled up cylinder of graphite like carbon inserted in between the two halves. this way, an almost infinite variety of true carbon molecules can and do exist. – by another chem geek

The Federal Communications Commission ruled on Wednesday (Jan. 20) that incumbent cable television providers that control unique, regional sports programming can no longer unilaterally refuse to provide access to that programming, including high-definition feeds, to competing providers.
In a 4-1 decision, FCC commissioners concluded that withholding regional sports programming presumptively violates section 628 of the Cable Act and is anti-competitive. The order, approved at Wednesday's open meeting, includes "standstill" language barring cable companies from cutting off access to programming during program renewal negotiations.
Verizon, which competes with Cablevision in the television market with its FiOS TV, filed a program access complaint against Cablevision in July because the cable incumbent continually denied Verizon access to high-definition versions of regional sports programming Cablevision controls in New York and parts of New Jersey and Connecticut.
The following statement should be attributed to Kathleen Grillo, Verizon senior vice president of Federal Regulatory Affairs:
"This is a big-time victory for television sports fans. The FCC's decision to make must-see regional sports programming, including high-definition feeds, presumptively available to competitors, puts viewers in the driver's seat. This ruling means that consumers will no longer have to stick with their incumbent cable provider in order to watch local teams in high definition."

Edible vaccines? Guys, I do not make this shit up. Haha, but isn't that amazing? It makes so much sense too. But as for the in silico thing, what Peter is supposed to have done is WAY beyond what researchers are currently doing. What he did was make a computerized version of a plant cell. Plug in the genome, program the proteins, the cascades, the chaperones, change something and see what happens. While technology close that is being used to determine downstream effects of cascades, it's still pretty far out. At least, last I checked. But programming plants to produce vaccines that transfer mucosal immunity? That's happening today.
I worked a few labs down from a lab engineering potato vaccines! Which was where I first heard about all this.
Anyway, a few of you guessed this is what Peter was working on, nice detective work! Or, you know, voting and being in the forum and stuff.
I want you all to know I almost drew a picture of Colbey doing unmentionables to a red cucumber. But I did not. Because I would be laughing too hard to draw it. And by unmentionables I don't mean THAT. Get your minds out of the gutter (and mine with it).
Lastly, PLEASE check out the next update for a special little extra! Thanks for reading!

See how we can surpass your jewelry insurance expectations, pain-free.
In some cases, personal items may not be covered by a homeowner's insurance policy. This is sometimes the case with jewelry above and beyond a certain monetary figure. Jewelry insurance protects all types of jewelry, including engagement and wedding rings, watches, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and more. Specialized jewelry insurance policies offer comprehensive coverage for such scenarios as unexplained loss of jewelry of jewelry that might not be covered by a warranty, renter's insurance or standard homeowners' insurance policy. It's not uncommon for a standard insurance policy to have a limit for losses of certain types of jewelry. For instance, a standard insurance policy might have a $1,000 limit for jewelry theft. Jewelry insurance offers an additional layer of protection for jewelry. In cases in which the full value of jewelry may not be covered by a regular insurance policy, it is advisable to obtain jewelry insurance to protect the full cost of your jewelry.
We also have experience working with: Car Insurance, Boat Insurance, Home Insurance, Jewelry Insurance, Renters Insurance, Commercial Insurance, Commercial Auto Insurance, Directors & Officers Insurance, Workers Comp Insurance, Group Health Insurance, Dental Insurance, Vision Insurance, Disability Insurance, Life Insurance and Long Term Insurance.

"You can't fault anything on the video"
"Really liked the hightlights bit at the end... we are very happy thank you"
"[wife] and I were extremely pleased with the finished product"
Wedding Video for your special day
And it shows in our final result, your wedding DVD you can treasure for ever. We shoot all our wedding video in HD using high quality cameras, and edit using leading Industry Standard packages which combines with our wealth of experience in video and sound.
Plus we add that extra something, driven by our own satisfaction at producing a fine result.
You can be sure we will capture the excitement and ambience of the day, and we can record as much or as little of the day as you want, to fit your budget.
We will produce a DVD (5 copies are provided within the contract) which you'll want to look back over time and time again.
We use a wireless Lavalier (tie-clip) microphone for the service and a wireless table microphone for the speeches, which we record in full. We generally use two HD professional cameras, both tripod mounted to give steady footage. However, we can shoot more 'Avant Garde' if needed. Guest interviews can also be recorded (usually at the reception) for some added 'flavour'... We can also offer a 'Marryoke' service where guests, bride and groom each perform all or part of a chosen song (preferably the same one!) and we mix that down to a video collage of the performers.
As well as the full event with a comprehensive DVD menu system, we also produce a 'Highlights' mix. Below are a couple of these mixes from 2011 and one from just a few weeks ago, each set to one of the couple's favourite songs. We ask you to list your 5 favourite songs which we use on the final DVD.
Phone any time for a chat about what you'd like and we'll do our best to help or complete our form at right and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
We worked recently with Sharon Mallinson at Heather and Adrian's wedding, (see the 'Highlights' mix at right). Sharon is great to work with and we both got the shots we needed for our Clients.
Sharon's work is first class and we're pleased to be associated with her. Please do have a look at symplyphotography.co.uk

What is this NEW FLIR T65 thermal rifle scope all about?
The T65 thermal scope from FLIR Systems Inc. is the latest clip on thermal rifle scope manufactured by FSI. A clip on thermal scope is a specialized form of thermal optics that converts your daytime scope into a thermal scope. This is accomplished via specially calibrated optics so that all you have to do is "clip on" the thermal scope in front of your already sighted in day scope and you have an instant thermal weapon sight. There is no need to rezero your weapon or make any adjustments to the clip on scope. If your daytime optic was correctly zeroed than your FLIR scope will maintain that point of impact. It is very impressive and somewhat hard to believe but it is true.
The clip on thermal scope technology was developed for the US Military so that soldiers could go from daytime missions to night time missions without switching rifles or making any further adjustments. The first "clip-on" technology was the standard image intensified Night Vision clip on scope. These night vision clip on scopes (like the AN/PVS-27, AN/PVS-24 and AN/PVS-22) all operate on the old fashioned image intensifier tube technology. The intensified night vision tube amplifies ambient light to produce an image in moonlight or starlight conditions. Sometimes this type of night vision is also called "starlight" night vision. This is the green colored images that you often see in combat footage and on TV in surveillance shots or when hunting for ghosts and bigfoot. The Thermal Clip On Rifle Scope is the natural evolution of clip on technology. Thermal imaging or FLIR scopes produce an image based on heat differences that are present everywhere. The FLIR Rifle Scope does not depend on any light whatsoever so there is no issue with cloudy nights or bright lights in the scene. Thermal sees everything and is virtually impossible to hide from making it the ideal technology for a night vision rifle scope.
The T65 is the latest generation of Clip on Thermal Rifle Scopes from FLIR Systems Inc. The T65 FLIR scope features 640×480 resolution and a rugged military design. The FLIR T65 is the same resolution as the FLIR T60 scope that has been extremely popular. The T60 is the famous clip on scope that was developed by FLIR Systems Inc and Trijicon Inc. With the coming release (sometime in 1st to 2nd quarter of 2013) of the FLIR T65 there are some really good deals out there on the T60 scopes. Keeping in mind that the T60 has the same resolution and twice the warranty so it can make sense to get a FLIR T60 while you still can and save some money. Last word was that all the remaining FLIR T60 thermal scopes are at SPI CORP and they were giving some pretty generous discounts.
On this site we will explore the new FLIR T65 thermal imaging scope as details become available. We will test fire the scope as soon as we can get a hold of one and we will post reviews right away. If you have any information on the scope please let us know so we can further the conversation.

Generating ASP.NET Web API Documentation
Swagger is one of the most popular documentation and code generation engine for Web API. Unlike ASMX WebServices where we could use WSDL to generate C# class file to refer and write code which could compile we need some client wrapper in Web API. Hence Swagger comes handy to perform those documentation and client code generation with a strongly typed code base.
For more details about Swagger please visit http://swagger.io/
There is a nice blog about how you use Swagger with ASP.NET Web API http://www.wmpratt.com/swagger-and-asp-net-web-api-part-1/

In December I had 2 Youtubers for a visit to do a special "mini" episode for a major network. It was refreshing to have a different view and I learned so many new things during their visit. Josh and Cody are two tremendous people that I am happy to now call my friend. During the trip, we spent time at an abandoned factory and we took a trip to Disney's Magic Kingdom (for the fun stuff). Here is Cody's vlog from the Magic Kingdom LINK
The first thing that I found odd but now find awesome and liberating is when we went to Disney, they were recording for their vlog. People looked at us oddly but once I got used to it, the stares had zero impact on me. I have now started my own Youtube channel and doing a mix of a vlog and other content.
My older son, like most kids, loves Youtube. Being able to meet people he watched was amazing. He came with us during all video shooting and even used the cameras at time. He and I are now bonding over doing our own channel and he works the camera and does all the editing. Its nice to bond with a teenager over something that he has a passion about and enjoys doing.
Even as we get older, we need to remember we do not have all the answers. We must remain open to learn new ideas and concepts. If we close our mind and shelter it, we can never grow beyond the boundaries we set for ourselves. Thanks to Josh and Cody, I have extended my boundaries a little more.
Be good to yourself and each other.

Remove TestOnlineSpeed Toolbar (Improved Guide)
What TestOnlineSpeed Toolbar is doing in your browser?
Some people tend to call this system tool as TestOnlineSpeed Toolbar virus, although it has nothing in common with malware. We can only add it to "potentially unwanted programs" category due to annoying and unpleasant behaviour[1]. We have noticed that people complain about this toolbar quite a lot as they cannot understand how to remove it or how to restore previous homepage settings. It seems that some people add this toolbar[2] to their browsers without realizing it, or without knowing what it actually does. So let us explain what it actually does.
Questions about TestOnlineSpeed Toolbar
The tool is compatible with Windows 7, 8, XP, Vista, and Windows 10. TestOnlineSpeed promises to "Test Internet Speeds – Fast & FREE!," however, it also provides new web search engine. So by installing it on your computer, you agree to add TestOnlineSpeed extension to your browser and let it change your homepage and new tab page with a page that presents TestOnlineSpeed search engine. In general, that browser extension asks for many permissions, including read/change all your data on the websites you visit, manage your downloads, read and change your browsing history. If this is not what you wanted, just remove TestOnlineSpeed Toolbar using instructions given below the text. Speaking of that search engine, we have to say that it delivers quite a lot of sponsored search results. These paid results are defined as "Ads." Clicking on them will take you to various third-party websites, so be careful. Each third-party site has its own Privacy Policy, which might differ from TestOnlineSpeed's. There is also a great chance that you might end up on hazardous third-party websites that contain potentially dangerous downloads or harmful content. For your own safety, avoid browsing unknown Internet sites. If you are already thinking how to change int.search.myway.com search engine[3] with another one, do not try to modify homepage settings before you carry out TestOnlineSpeed removal.
When did I install this program?
You might have or might have not installed TestOnlineSpeed alongside other free programs. However, we must warn you to be careful when installing freeware on your computer[4]. It is extremely important to read fine prints when installing new programs[5]. Sadly, many users still rely on Default/Standard settings just because they seem trustworthy. In reality, these safe-looking and usually marked as "recommended" installation modes are the reason why so many people install potentially unwanted software unwillingly. We suggest you modify installation settings by selecting Advanced or Custom option and getting rid of any extra attachments. Just remove ticks situated next to suggestions to update your home and new tab page settings or to install recommended third-party apps. Once you make this little adjustment, proceed to the next installation step.
Recently, the developer of this program contacted us asking us to remove this post from 2-spyware.com website. We believe that we shouldn't do that as long as programs that we offer for the removal of TestOnlineSpeed Toolbar can detect it and help users to remove it from the system. As it is mentioned under each of download buttons, we ARE affiliated with these anti-malware programs, and while some of them are free, others can remove a virus only after purchasing them. These mentions fully fulfill each of the requirements of FTC.
Nevertheless, we have recently decided to make a revision of this and other posts that are related to this developer. We claim that all of them are described properly.

Communication happens in physical space and information space.
Information manifests in the physical space in Print or on the Screen.
When it moves to the internet cloud, info is sliced and diced.
Once sliced and diced it can recombine to create new information.
The new information is re inserted into physical space.
Once back in physical space, information affects behavior.
Real life happens in physical space.
The following were picked from the Cloud as of December 9, 2008
Cell phone is barcode scanner by Motorola
"One of the long awaited success products is integrating the cell phone with a fully functional barcode scanner and Motorola did it with the Symbol MC70 and has integrated it with other models."
iPhone hears music
Shazam, that wonderful program for iPhone that allows us to point the phone at a sound and await identification.
Multi Function Printer sits between the Cloud and Print
The full range of ACDI devices, including stored value card and currency systems, card dispenser and encoders, credit card terminals, online card systems and document output tracking solutions, are made available through the partnership.
Google Maps track disease
This is cool: Google has set up a page with a map to track search requests for terms like "flu" and "flu symptoms" around the country (using IP address data to provide a geographic fix). Voila: A map that should show very quickly how this winter's flu viruses spread from state to state.
Speech to text translation coming of age
Online video has made major strides in 2008, largely thanks to universal search. Speech-to-text translation, mobile video, and full movie/TV shows on YouTube are just getting started.
Physical space in Baghdad to the McClatchey Cloud
As usual, the work day ended and it is sunset and I am heading back from Baghdad to Fallujah.
I was in a taxi with two other passengers, and we had to wait for one more. The other two men were not going to Fallujah, but to villages along the way. One of them looked upset. I asked him, Are you ok? He answered with tears, "I want this car to start moving. I want to receive the dead bodies of my two brothers.
Printer organizes the Cloud and back to Print
ChromaGraphics is a commercial printer that has expanded into the rapidly growing market for electronic document retrieval, distribution and on-demand printing with the acquisition of a Santa Rosa company last month. They are a 24-employee company with $4.5 million in revenue last year
Picking up AOL Cloud storage accounts
ElephantDrive Inc. has announced a free and automated file transfer from AOL's Xdrive to ElephantDrive. The offering is designed to make it easy for users of the Xdrive service to migrate to ElephantDrive before their existing accounts are closed. In the first week of availability of the automated transfer tool, ElephantDrive has delivered over one million files from Xdrive to new ElephantDrive accounts.
Bar Code scanners are one pathway between Print and the Cloud
Did you know there are more then 20 different brands of bar code scanners? The Metrologic bar code scanners are one of these brands. Many of these scanners come from over seas and are sold as cheap barcode scanners with little company backing behind them, but this is not the case with Metrologic.
Writing in physical space, up to the Cloud, back down to Print
The students participated in the third annual Océ Future Authors Project summer writing workshop, where they compiled poetry, short stories and essays into a book they named, "Confessions of a Teenage Author." The book was published and digitally printed by the program's sponsor, Boca Raton-based Océ North America Production Printing Systems Division, a leading provider of digital document management and delivery solutions. http://www.graphicartsonline.com/article/CA6620021.html?nid=3827
German Post Office and personal newspapers
December 4, 2008 – D. Kulenovic) The new web-to-print portal run by the German Post Office, www.titelhelden.de, has been online since October 6. The portal, developed by People Interactive GmbH, a Cologne-based agency, places particular emphasis on usability. The new online service from the Deutsche Post (the German Post Office) permits anyone to create their own newspapers for various occasions. Layout, printing, and delivery are all handled by the Deutsche Post. The portal integrates all these processes.
RFID, another path between Print and the Cloud
Source: UPM, 2008-Dec-04 Japanese publisher Shogakukan Inc. has implemented RFID technology in its operations to substantially reduce the return ratio of unsold books. A reduction in waste volumes was also critical.
Don't waste time on convincing people. Focus on the ones already convinced. CRM in politics.
Seth Godin has written a fabulous piece about the Obama presidential campaign and the marketing lessons we can learn from it. I believe the lessons learned provide great insight into how we can dramatically influence the educational process and how students learn as well.
QR Codes: another path between Print and the Cloud
John Carnell, founder and CEO of Harrogate-based Bullying UK said: "We are proud to be recognised by TalkTalk as one of the UK's most innovative charities. Eighteen months ago we identified QR codes as being key to the uptake of the mobile web and the filling in of another bit of the digital divide. Even if people are in a rush they can snap the code from the poster with their phone and get immediate help from our mobile website."

Characters: Alexander Hawke, Ana Craev, Goldie 5000, Professor Emmit L. Brown
The Prince of Thoth, grateful to the "Red Devils" that saved his daughter, is worried by the increasing hostility of Shastapash, and decides to send a noble ambassador, Thyratis, to the British.
As the characters also want to get back to British lands, the Prince asks them to accompany and guard his ambassador, for which he will pay them each the equivalent of 100 pounds.
The characters agree and, after refilling what supplies they can, head out across the desert with the ruumet breehr caravan and ten gashant cavalry guards with a leader, Wiiso.
Only a week into the journey, the camp is attacked at night by a Steppe Tiger, who takes out several guards before being blocked by Goldie 5000 and then taken out by Alexander Hawke. Meanwhile Ana runs away from the creature to hide in the tent of the ambassador and they discuss leaving.
After the attack, Wiiso, who had been dressing and arming his men before they came out (too late), advises it is too dangerous to continue, and manages to convince the party to return (Ana doesn't need much convincing).
Back in Thoth, the characters are ignored until they learn, from Thyratis, that the Prince has decided to cancel the meeting. He tells the characters he believes it is important to set up diplomatic relations with the British and asks them to try and change the Prince's mind.
Meanwhile the characters have done some investigation and think it may have been simply lazy guards, or worse, that let the Steppe Tiger get the drop on them. Getting an audience with the Prince, the characters raise the issue of competence, at which the Prince summons Wiiso to answer the charges.
Wiiso is outraged and demands a duel to clear his honour. Alexander Hawke accepts and muskets and duelling swords are prepared. Alexander is his usual uncultured self and is even drinking right before the battle — he says it helps him.
Originally thinking it might be an easy fight, Wiiso proved to actually be quite a capable fighter, possibly the equal of Alexander, leading to even more questions. Princess Aramaranda is also at the duel, but the exotic beauty seems to take more of an interest in Ana Kraev and the other foreigners than the fight itself.
Through luck (or maybe it was the drink), just when Alex thought the battle was lost he scored a lucky break and got a solid hit on Wiiso, winning the duel.
The Prince agrees to send a new caravan, with new guards, as recommended by Thyratis, and it leaves the following morning. Unknown to most of the characters, it includes someone they aren't expecting, joining the guards in disguise.
The expedition goes a lot better this time, although Ana Kraev seems to spend a lot of extra time in her tent during stops.
There is no trouble until about halfway to Meepsor the Professor spots something high in the sky above the heat wave to the south, some kind of flyer, keeping it's distance.
The guards are careful that night, with extras on watch, and indeed there is an attack — High Martians gliding in from above almost take the group by surprise. Several land engaging the various guards and characters, with some concentrating on the ambassador's tent. Goldie 5000 fights her way towards the tent, but is block by the many raiders.
The leader of the raiders gets into the ambassador's tent while it looks like the battle is turning to the character's favor outside, however having achieved their goal the High Martians retreat to the air, taking the ambassador with them.
Taking stock of the surviving guards, and with no way to follow the raiders, it appears the mission has been doomed, but one of the guards is missing, although the characters are suspicious because they had heard one of the guard's black powder weapons being fired from within Ana's tent.
Emerging from Ana's tent, in a guard's uniform, is Princess Aramaranda. She tells the remaining guard leader that she is on a secret mission for her father, although the characters aren't sure as she simply seems a headstrong and Stubborn woman. Ana may know more, but is tight lipped; the reason given for being in Ana's tent is that Ana has been teaching the Princess Russian.
The Princess, who turns out to not only be Noble and Very Attractive, but also highly intelligent, takes command of the caravan and they continue forward, still spending a lot of time with Ana (as a personal companion and guard, and also an intellectual equal), until reaching the outskirts of Meepsor where they encounter a patrol of British lancers and are escorted to the city.
Telegraphing ahead, the local garrison commander is instructed to put the group on a sailing boat down the canal to Syrtis Major. Once there the Princess, as an ambassador, and her companions are put up in the Imperial Steppe Inn.
A state banquet has been arranged to welcome them, and Lord Dundas, Governor of the colonies on Mars visits to ensure they are ready, and arranges a tailor to visit them. The Professor accepts gladly, but Alexander Hawke takes some convincing.
Meanwhile Princess Aramaranda and Ana go shopping for dresses, first in the British quarter, and then the Princess takes Ana into the main city for a Martian outfit as well, although Ana is a little hesitant at the revealing nature of the native wear (not quite befitting Victorian sensibilities).
The day after, the Princess heads off early into diplomatic discussions (or so Ana, who has been guarding the Princess, tells the others), and the party are finally able to make contact and deliver the broken piece of scroll case to Esmerelda Bottoms at the Explorer's Society clubhouse in Syrtis Major. She tells them it will certainly help piece together some puzzles, but will take time
The characters then find themselves with some time on their hands while Esmerelda continues research and discussions with colleagues.
The characters earned 3 experience points each, plus the 100 L. each from the Prince of Thoth.

Wolf Park has reached an incredible milestone! Forty five years ago, a Purdue professor was inspired to expand his knowledge of a little-understood species by bringing two wolves into his life. From there, the pack and facility has grown from its small beginnings into an organization dedicated to improving the lives of wolves in captivity and in the wild through research and education.
Dr. Erich Klinghammer began with a desire to understand wolf behavior and communication. He was able to observe his wolves throughout multiple generations of forming packs, breeding, raising offspring and hunting. Gradually the park has expanded to include other species such as bison, coyotes and foxes.
Research was the original focus of Wolf Park and we continue to assist researchers from around the globe with their studies but our focus has turned more toward education. We are proud of the work we do in providing seminars, children's camps and education programs for public and private groups.
We are celebrating our incredible milestone with a four-day event April 20-23. Join us Saturday April 22nd for the main event as we celebrate 45 years of Wolf Park with a slew of activities. This will also be the date of our annual fundraiser. That's right, we're moving Walk for Wolves to the spring this year and changing up the format! Join one of five teams and compete with other teams to earn money for a variety of projects around the park. Which team will raise the most donations? Join us and find out!
Schedule of Events
Thursday – Open 1-4pm for tours and talk.
Friday – Open 1-4pm for tours and talk and open 6-9pm for a special Cookout Howl Night
Saturday – The big fundraiser day! Compete with other teams, see the park, bid in a live auction and listen to amazing speakers from around the country. Then join us Saturday evening for a formal dinner at the Lafayette Fowler House.
Sunday – A day of fun at Wolf Park with competitions, special guest speakers and more!
To learn more visit our main webpage or sign up for the weekend through our online store.
We hope to see every one of you there!

RVtravel.com's YouTube channel passed 4 million views and is attracting about 250,000 new views a month. The company reported that it is the most-watched channel on YouTube about RVing with more than 300 videos and 10,300 subscribers.
"We're adding new videos all the time," said RVtravel.com editor Chuck Woodbury. "Part of the reason for our fast growth is because we embed a video about RVing every day in our RV Daily Tips Newsletter, which appears Monday through Friday and is read by about 35,000 RVers a day."
Most of the videos also appear on one or more of RVtravel.com's network of about three dozen active websites and blogs about RVing. Most offer a concise tip for viewers, usually from a well-known RVing expert.
Woodbury is currently building a TV studio in Edmonds, Wash., where in March he will begin producing and syndicating talk show programs about RVing through his network of websites and those of partners.
"Video is going to be huge on the Internet," said Woodbury. "We're in the stone ages now, but the pace of growth is fast. We plan to be a major player and are putting a lot of energy into building a large audience and producing quality programming."

UPDATED 04/20/11 6:30 a.m.
BURNHAM, Ill. (CBS/WBBM) — A statewide initiative that is aimed at protecting residents of nursing homes has lead to the arrest of four residents of a south suburban nursing home who had outstanding criminal warrants.
As WBBM Newsradio 780's Mary Frances Bragiel reports, the arrests were made at Burnham Healthcare, at 14500 S. Manistee Ave. in south suburban Burnham, after officials made a surprise visit.
LISTEN: Newsradio 780's Mary Frances Bragiel Reports
Based on outstanding and active Cook County arrest warrants, investigators with the help of Burnham police arrested Donna Williams, 48, for disorderly conduct; Aisha Reasonover, 41, for retail theft; Robert Simmons, 55, for possession of marijuana; and Sheri Spencer, 38, for trespassing, a news release said.
The arrests were part of Operation Guardian, which Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan says is aimed at keeping residents safe.
"Unannounced compliance checks that we do at nursing homes around the state of Illinois to do two things really – one, to make sure that they are abiding by the Identified Offender Law that requires all nursing homes to do background checks," Madigan said.
That list is then run against the criminal database and that is how law enforcement officials made these latest arrests.
If residents are identified as former criminals, Madigan says the nursing home is required to put in place special safety precautions.
This was the 28th surprise compliance check made since the initiative began more than a year ago.
Forty-two residents and employees have been arrested in the effort.
The initiative grew out of and expands on the AG's previous work to shut down south suburban Emerald Park Nursing Home, which was found to be housing numerous sex offenders and other felons, the release said.
The Sun-Times Media Wire contributed to this report.

Zoe is scared that she will not find the right man to spend her life with and with whom to have a baby with, so decides to be artificially inseminated. On the same day she meets Stan, who gets into the same cab as her. They soon start running into each other and start dating. However, Zoe is now pregnant and is worried about Stan's reaction as she is scared he will run out on her…
A thoroughly original and enjoyable film! From the outset, it was clear it was going to be a good movie with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. Lopez comes into her own in this film playing a very stong female lead. However it is Alex O'Loughlin who steals the screen with his enigmatic character being the man that any girl would love to fall in love with. With this being his first major movie, it is clear that from it O'Loughlin will soon be starring in many rom-coms to come.
Klein and Monroe create the biggest laugh-out-loud moments through the film. Klein plays off O'Loughlin's reactions perfectly during the CT scan, making the appointment an enjoyable scene to watch. However, it is Monroe's birthing scene which steals the show. Although it will put any woman off childbirth for life, I have never laughed so hard! The animals noises mixed with the pure panic of Lopez had me rolling in the aisles!
Despite the strong story and characters, I felt that Danneel Harris was not being used to her full potential. I felt that Olivia could have been more involved in the story as Stan's spiteful ex-girlfriend but instead seemed to keep to herself and not get involved. If I have learnt anything from the number of rom-coms I have watched, is that the ex-girlfriend always gets involved and tries to hurt the new girlfriend. This did not happen in this and it actually disappointed me.
Overall, this is a good chick-flick which I would recommend to any girl who wants a good laugh and to dribble over a gorgeous man!

General information about graduate study at VCU can be obtained from the VCU Graduate School web site. Application for graduate study in psychology with an emphasis in clinical psychology should be initiated online from the VCU Graduate School admissions page. Please note that there is not a separate application for the program or department. For questions related to admissions please contact the clinical psychology program at email@example.com.
Application Deadline
The deadline for applications is December 1.
Admission Requirements
In addition to the general admission requirements of the VCU Graduate School, there are minimum acceptable standards for admission into the doctoral clinical program.
- Read about the minimum standards for the concentration in behavioral medicine.
- Read about the minimum standards for the concentration in child/adolescent.
Although a master's degree is awarded in progress toward the doctoral degree, only students who are seeking the Ph.D. are considered for admission. At the present time, the clinical program is admitting seven to nine new graduate students per year. Because of the large number of qualified applicants, the standards for admission are high and competitive.
As can be seen from the table [PDF*], scores obtained by admitted students on the Graduate Record Examination are well above average with GPA's generally in the B+ range. Occasionally, an applicant who is substantially below the average in one of these areas is admitted on the basis of impressive compensating strengths in research, productivity or experience. The Clinical Program is committed to increasing the number of students and faculty from underrepresented groups, including ethnic and sexual minorities. The program's and department's research also focuses on issues of diversity across all of our research specialty areas. (* Please contact the program assistant at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have difficulty accessing this PDF.)
Each application is reviewed by the program's Admissions Committee, which is composed of clinical faculty members, and then is specifically reviewed by the faculty member(s) whose work is most closely aligned with the applicant's self-described research and clinical interests. A central consideration during admissions decisions is the degree of fit between an applicant's research and clinical interests and those of a particular clinical faculty member, thus it is vital to state your research interests and proposed program track clearly in your personal statement. The final phase of admission entails in-person interviews with appropriate faculty and current graduate students.
Faculty Accepting Applications
Behavioral Medicine Concentration
- Scott Vrana, Ph.D.
- Joseph Dzierzewski, Ph.D.
- Jared Keeley, Ph.D.
- Dace Svikis, Ph.D.
- Bruce Rybarczyk, Ph.D.
Child/Adolescent Concentration
- Kevin Allison, Ph.D.
- Rosalie Corona, Ph.D.
- Heather Jones, Ph.D.
- Bryce McLeod, Ph.D.
- Michael Southam-Gerow, Ph.D.
Some years, Affiliate Faculty admit students into the Clinical program. Please contact individual Affiliate Faculty members about this possibility. Applicants should apply to the Clinical program but indicate in their personal statements that they have an interest in being mentored by an Affiliate Faculty member, listing their name(s).
Admission Interviews
- Admission Interviews will be held on January 24th for applicants to the Child/Adolescent concentration.
- Admission Interviews will be held on January 31st for applicants to the Behavioral Medicine concentration.
Graduate Student Support
Annual job placement of students is the responsibility of the department's Graduate Committee, which attempts in each instance to enhance the student's career development as well as meet his or her financial needs. There are multiple sources of financial support within the university: teaching assistantships and instructorships for the department, clinic assistantships, university fellowships, grant-funded research assistantships within the department and at the medical school, and loans from the Office of Financial Aid. Some students also receive funding from their community clinical placements in their fourth year of study. In recent years students have been financially supported for at least four years.
Additional Admissions Information
Do I have to submit a separate application?
No, you do not need to submit a separate application to the Clinical Psychology program. The Graduate School application will suffice.
Are GRE Subject scores required?
No, only GRE General scores are required for admission.
What is the program code for forwarding GRE scores to VCU?
If I take the GRE twice, will you take the best set of scores?
Yes, we will take the best verbal score and the best quantitative score.
Should I identify a faculty member I would like to work with in my application letter?
Yes, it is recommended that you identify at least one faculty member whose research area interests you.
For additional information about the Clinical Psychology program, refer to the full listing of FAQs found in this section of the website.
