IBM scientists today unveiled a new chip technology that integrates electrical and optical devices on the same piece of silicon, enabling computer chips to communicate using pulses of light (instead of electrical signals), resulting in smaller, faster and more power-efficient chips than is possible with conventional technologies. IBM expects silicon nanophotonics tech to enable chips that will power exascale supercomputers.
The new technology, called CMOS Integrated Silicon Nanophotonics, is the result of a decade of development at IBM's global research laboratories. The patented technology will change and improve the way computer chips communicate – by integrating optical devices and functions directly onto a silicon chip, enabling over ten times improvement in integration density that is feasible with current manufacturing techniques. The technology development was headed by IBM Scientists Yurii Vlasov, William Green and Solomon Assefa.
In addition to combining electrical and optical devices on a single chip, the new IBM technology can be produced on the front-end of a standard CMOS manufacturing line and requires no new or special tooling. With this approach, silicon transistors can share the same silicon layer with silicon nanophotonics devices. To make this approach possible, IBM researchers have developed a suite of integrated ultra-compact active and passive silicon nanophotonics devices that are all scaled down to the diffraction limit – the smallest size that dielectric optics can afford.
"Our CMOS Integrated Nanophotonics breakthrough promises unprecedented increases in silicon chip function and performance via ubiquitous low-power optical communications between racks, modules, chips or even within a single chip itself. The next step in this advancement is to establishing manufacturability of this process in a commercial foundry using IBM deeply scaled CMOS processes," said Dr. Yurii A. Vlasov, manager of the silicon nanophotonics department at IBM Research.
By adding just a few more processing modules to a standard CMOS fabrication flow, the technology enables a variety of silicon nanophotonics components, such as: modulators, germanium photodetectors and ultra-compact wavelength-division multiplexers to be integrated with high-performance analog and digital CMOS circuitry. As a result, single-chip optical communications transceivers can now be manufactured in a standard CMOS foundry, rather than assembled from multiple parts made with expensive compound semiconductor technology.
The density of optical and electrical integration demonstrated by IBM's new technology is unprecedented – a single transceiver channel with all accompanying optical and electrical circuitry occupies only 0.5mm2 – ten times smaller than previously announced by others. The technology is amenable for building single-chip transceivers with area as small as 4x4mm2 that can receive and transmit over 1Tb/s (125GB/s).
IBM anticipates that silicon nanophotonics will dramatically increase the speed and performance between chips, and further the company's ambitious exascale computing program, which is aimed at developing a supercomputer that can perform one million trillion calculations in a single second (or ExaFLOPS).
"The development of the silicon nanophotonics technology brings the vision of on-chip optical interconnections much closer to reality. With optical communications embedded into the processor chips, the prospect of building power-efficient computer systems with performance at the ExaFLOPS level is one step closer to reality," said Dr. T.C. Chen, vice president of science and technology at IBM Research.

Athlete of the Week
Times Observer photo by Jon Sitler
Warren Area High School senior shortstop Kaitlin Ishman had a heck of a week at the plate -in one day. In a doubleheader on Saturday against Mercyhurst Prep, Ishman was 7-for-8 with two home runs, two triples, six runs and four RBI in a doubleheader sweep of Region 7 opponent Mercyhurst Prep at the Farm Colony Complex. Ishman led off the 10-0 Game 1 win with a home run, and led off the 18-0 Game 2 win with a triple. In fact, all the Athlete of the Week candidates could have come from the Lady Dragons, with Meghan Loutzenhiser going 5-for-7 with three doubles, two triples and seven RBI on the day, and Paige Wilson 6-for-7 with a home run and four RBI. Alexa Bupp threw the first shutout with 10 K's, and combined with Loutzenhiser for nine K's in the second shutout. But Ishman jump-started the Warren girls softball team – off to a 4-1 Region 7 start. She's the Times Observer Female Athlete of the Week, sponsored by Little Caesars.

Anyone have a favorite place to get good ribs? Ever since Tony Roma's skipped town I have been searching for good ribs. The ribs at Fox and Hound were good, but I think they got them from the old Tony Roma's that used to be next to them a while back.
Great new forum Dick.

Phyllidia ocellata
Phyllidia ocellata is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk in the family Phyllidiidae.[1]
This species is widely distributed throughout the Indo-West Pacific Ocean the Red Sea.
This animal can measure up to 60 mm in length.[2] There is some variation in this species but most commonly this nudibranch has a yellow body with a dorsum covered in yellow or white tubercules. There are varying patterns on its upper body, typically between four to ten black rings edged with white surround the tubercules. Some specimens found in southern Thailand have dorsums with a mainly black background and yellow tubercles, but very little or no white colour.[3]
Phyllidia ocellata at Verde Island, the Philippines.
Like many nudibranchs, Phyllidia ocellata feeds on sponges. They have been observed consuming orange sponges from the Order Axinellida[4]

I have been wearing this style for over 20 years . It has bee the best cure for my plantar fasciatis. They go on when I first get up and off at bedtime . I only wish that the Velcro on the straps lasted as long as the shoes . Maybe you can look into that issue. Also it is difficult to find them in navy and hunter green !!!! The best shoe ever for my feet . Please do not change them ! Thank you !
I wish I could wear these shoes year round. I have no pain in my heels any more thanks to these Naot sandals! I even wear them as slippers! They saved my feet and are more comfortable than tennis shoes, I plan to buy two more pairs in different colors. WELL worth the money!
I had so much pain in my heels until I found these sandals. If I could wear these shoes all year long, I would never have foot pain again. I wear them with everything but dresses, even around the house as slippers. They also wear very well as this is the 4 year in a row of wearing them. Very much worth the money!
These are wonderfully comfortable and look great. I have two pairs, one black leather and one nubuck and wear them all the time.
These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn.I have Morton's neuroma in both feet plus arthritis in one foot and have a lot of bother finding shoes that don't hurt, but from the moment I put these on I didn't want to wear anything else. In fact they were a joy to wear, perhaps they are not the most stylish of shoes but with comfort like this who cares. I am now looking for some winter Naots perhaps Matai.

The UTMB Fun Run - Page 6
Twenty miles away the president and founder of Hoka OneOne, Nicolas Mermoud, was playing host to a handful of top athletes which included Meltzer, Roes, and the Spanish duo Kilian and Heras Though the race appeared to be defeated by the weather, the determined young Spaniard was attempting to convince the others in driving with him to compete in the Skyrunning Marathon World Champs that would kick off in 36 hours.
Knuckles rapped on my door. "Rickey!" called Clifford called. "It's 2 o'clock! Up and at 'em!"
"Two o'clock what?" I mumbled through my pillow.
"Two in the afternoon. The race started at 10 this morning."
I pieced together the news of a make-up race. For several hours following the race's cancellation, information was passed around and distorted by abbreviated text messages, rumor and poor translation. It took days, weeks, to accurately piece together the information.
The parched throat and methodic thumping inside of my skull brought me back to rue Vallot and the subsequent after party at Jurek's apartment.
In the hours following the initial cancellation of the race the race committee led by Poletti had decided that a shortened version of the UTMB, following a less weather prone CCC route, would be held starting in the morning. However, due to both course restrictions and the inability to transport all of the 3600 runners that had been pulled from the UTMB and TDS combined only 1100 would be allowed to participate in the make-up race—first come, first served.
A text message was sent out at 1:26 a.m. alerting the athletes that the modified UTMB would be starting at 9:00 (later pushed back to 10 a.m.) that same morning in Courmayeur on the opposite side of the Mont Blanc Tunnel. Of the cell phones that were left on through the night, many never received the text -- a large percentage of those being non-French phones (speculation is either that the non-French phones were unable to receive foreign texts or, more likely, the network used by the UTMB organization was unable to send texts to non-French phones). In other words, those who had traveled the most distance and paid the most amount of money were the least likely to be able to participate in the consolation race.
For some, it was a great point of contention. For others the UTMB is what they had trained for and therefore to get into what Jurek took to calling the "UTMB Fun Run" was a null point. Says Roes, "The decision not to run the make-up race was really easy. That just wasn't what I came there for."

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .
[Note: The tags for the various schools are not definitive as many books span multiple traditions, etc. They are meant to use as a starting point for exploring this collection.]

June 5, 2011 : BETED'S NOT MINE, EITHER SAYS CANADIAN ACCUSED
Just who does own ThrillX-BetEd?
Darren Wright, the second of two Canadians accused by US federal investigators of being the men behind alleged illegal online gambling activities at ThrillX-BetEd has denied any ownership, implying that the feds are mistaken.
Wright has engaged the legal services of Californian law firm Ledger & Associates to assist in his defence.
Earlier this week his co-accused, Canadian David Parchomchuk, engaged prominent US lawyer Jeff Ifrah to present his defence that he was merely a supplier of software, and not the owner of the gambling companies targeted in the federal investigation.

Prep Roundup (1-18-13)
PETOSKEY The Alpena boys basketball team dropped a Big North Conference game in Petoskey Friday night by a score of 63-43.
Alpena took an early lead in the first quarter, and played a good first half which ended with Petoskey leading 33-25. Petoskey shot the ball well in the third quarter and Alpena started to stall defensively, which made all the difference.
Leading the Wildcats were Tyler Pintar with 16 points and Luke Cordes added 15.
Petoskey was led by Eric Davenport, who scored 15 points.
Alpena is now 5-3 overall, 2-3 in the Big North. Petoskey is undefeated at 8-0.
Alpena's freshmen and J.V. teams also lost.
Mio 74, Posen 36
POSEN Micah Thomey undoubtedly left Posen with a big smile on his face as Mio went home with a 74-36 win on the basketball court Friday night.
Thomey not only ended the game with 13 points, 9 assists, and 4 rebounds, but he also hit a personal milestone as the four-year varsity veteran scored his 1,000th career point
The Thunderbolts hit 20 of their 26 free-throws and Posen made 11 of its 18 count.
Colton McGregor led Mio with 14 points, followed by Thomey with 13, Dennis Kann III with 11 and Ben Lubitz and Bryce DeGrammont with 10 points each. Seth Thomey had six assists and five rebounds, Colton McGregor had six rebounds and Tommy Vaughn grabbed five rebounds.
"Mio's got a good team and we made two big mistakes. Posen's first mistake was that they didn't play defense as a team. Second, they gotta learn what it's like to give effort as a team and understand how to work together smoothly," Posen head coach Steve Hentkowski said.
Posen's Nick Kincka put up 19 points followed by Travis Sharpe with 10.
Mio is now 9-0 overall and 7-0 in the North Star League while Posen is 4-5 overall and 2-5 in the North Star League.
Mio will play in Hale on Tuesday and Posen travels to Au Gres the same day.
Fairview 69,
Au Gres 50
FAIRVIEW The Fairview boys basketball did not disappoint its home crowd Friday night when the Eagles defeated Au Gres 69-50 on the basketball court, making their record 3-6 overall.
Leading scorers for Fairview were Austin Handrich with 20, David Haskin with 14, Hudsen Szubelak with 12, and Kasson Willobee with 11.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: No potential for PB unless in Orange or before. I would assume alot of people didn't give their correct predicted time as many walking after a few miles.In full: Expensive when you think it costs more to do this than London marathon, The T shirt should be a technical one for that entry fee. I always ask where does all our money go and never get a proper answer. Lack of organisation around pens when runners were walking to them with their families and young children were upset why did the marshalls let them down near the pens this area should be for runners only. We weren't moving for alot of minutes and then other marshalls wouldn't let us in the right pens as we were late. I like the atmosphere but there are to many people in one area after the race so chaos. My baggage bus must have had the worst driver on Tyneside as he had alledgedly had gone around a corner to fast and the whole bagges had moved. My bag was missing until 2 marshalls came and found it for me after 20 mins of them looking. I may do it again in a few years time but I wouldn't rush for next year havkng done this race twice.Date of review: September 20, 2010
In short: Very hilly combined with apalling weather conditionsIn full: I would rate the hills, as in Runners World, being one of the top hard challenges. The weather made this race hardwork and the road race was more cross country in places. More toilets this year and goody bag made it almost worth doing.Date of review: November 4, 2009
In short: what a good course and got a PBIn full: A good flat course although running one way along a road when the faster ones are on the way back is a bit demoralising. It was a very cold day which is challenging knowing what to wear and how many layers. This is still a problem I have to work out in my second year of running.Date of review: December 1, 2008
In short: Very hilly more than undulating so a challenging course decent goody bag and this year the tshirt was fantastic long sleeve breathable material probably as 25th race anniversary. Nice touch with 'Guy Fawkes' starting the race. In full: Only problem I find which is common at most races is lack of toilets for the female competitors which was a shame as otherwise well organised.Date of review: November 2, 2008
In short: I enjoyed the race although the first hill was hard work!In full: This was the first time I had run this race and although I knew about the hill at the beginning it was still hard work. It was warm and muggy which affected some people and I was glad it rained at my 5miles. I am a club runner and I was pleased to see alot of non club runners must be good for the future.Date of review: May 5, 2008

Communication and Perception
Taeniura lymma uses electroreception to communicate with other members of its species. Blue-spotted stingrays,use strucutres called the ampullae of Lorenzini, which allow them to detect slight electrical impulses within the water. This electroreception is often used as a means of recognizing members of the same species. (Taylor, 1997)

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (63 votes).
In short: Enjoyable half, very well organised, friendly race.In full: My 2nd time running the half marathon, and got a PB this time. Really enjoyable race with great organisation. Buses take all the runners to the start point for the half which is at Gordonstoun. Changing facilities and toilets are available there with a bus to take belongings back to the town hall. Lots of water stations along the way, pockets of spectators and friendly marshalls. Lovely finish running past Elgin Cathedral and into the Cooper Park where the commentator announces the names of the incoming runners. Fine spread at the Town Hall afterwards, and nice quality t-shirts given out too. Will probably be back again next year.Date of review: September 13, 2008
In short: Very nice race, despite baffling registration process...In full: This was a lovely race and a nice day out, seems the organisers have been doing it for many years now, all the other reviews here are very positive (as is this one) but one thing that really confused me is why not send out the race numbers in the post with the information blurb instead of making people turn up super early to collect them? This would have saved a whole heap of hanging around, having to get to the Town Hall an hour or so before the race and queuing up for your number, instead you could've just turned up, with your race number in place, and have got on the bus to the start! No messin', me and my partner must've been waiting for nearly 2 hours prior to starting the race! I mean everyone was lovely just seemed a little bizarre and labour intensive to me that's all. No other real issues, lots of water stops, great marshalls, lovely countryside route (not mind blowingly spectacular but pleasant enough), shame there were a few crazy tractor drivers who actually nearly drove in to me and several other runners, but you can't legislate for that I guess. Weather was pretty much perfect. The finish was grand, nice touch with the commentator reading out everyone's name, but no sign of any of the alleged "goody bags", just a banana and some orange juice (and I was in the 10K) along with the medal and the t-shirt that was given at the start of the race (also a bit odd). Also would've been good to indicate that there was food and drinks available for free, this was not obvious as it looked like a café to me! Would certainly do again as it's fairly local, but I know there are better out there.Date of review: September 12, 2008
In short: I did the half and had a good day out.Date of review: September 8, 2008
In short: Lovely scenic marathon through woodland, and coastal villages...In full: Decided to do this more as a training run for Berlin that anything else. Got to the town hall before 8:30am to pickup my number and no problems whatsoever with that. Friendly people at the desks in the hall. Things filled up around the entrance later when the half marathoners etc started to turn up, but separate registrations points for the various races.The start was easy enough to find although the speakers were a bit back at the finish line and not easy to hear.The marathon started on time running out of the park, past the cathedral and through the streets until the first tree lined hill. Not to hard and eventually out onto the country roads. Few cars going past but most slowed and went around the runners.The temperature was nice and cool and the wind didn't really hit home until around Burghead with another twisty hill that I felt was harder than the first.A few mile run through Hopeman etc up to Lossiemouth, taking in views of Silver Sands and the extremely quiet RAF base.Then around the Lossiemouth harbour before heading out onto tree lined country roads again before finally reaching the first Elgin houses. Straight downhill after that (and a little straight bit + crossing a road) and this took you right to the cathedral and a few 100 yards from the finish.Commentator announced my number, name and where I was from which was a nice touch for my two supporters! Medal, carton of orange juice and banana were provided with apparently free tea + food in the town hall although I didn't partake in that. T-shirt was given out when you registered - nice grey cotton with "Moray Marathon" logo in one corner.Overall, great organisation. Plenty of marshalls showing the way and cheering you on. Water stations every 3 miles and no problems at the start or finish.Shame more locals didn't know about it to come out and cheer - my family members only knew about it as I was doing it. None of them had heard anything - so generally very few people about so more like a long solo training run in parts. Could have done with some signs on the last downhill stretch to be honest. At the marshall stopped the traffic to let us cross the road, but wasn't 100% sure if I was going to the right way as no-one was in front of me, so I just kept going and hoped for the best.Date of review: September 8, 2008
In short: Friendly, good all-rounder.In full: Not sure I'd recommend the marathon for first-timers, as unless you're sub 3 hour-timing you'll spend a fair amount of the race on your own. It's not too tough a course, a couple of challenging hills, but overall probably easier than the other 2 marathon routes I've done (Loch Ness 2007 and Edinburgh 2006 - before the route for that changed.) The course was scenic, particularly the sections running through woodland. The long section along the coast was pretty tough - especially as we were going in to the wind and because it's the middle section where you're well in to the race, but the end is not in sight!I'd echo the previous comments that it seems a bit harsh that the goody bags, and much of the food - are taken by the 10K runners before the marathoners finish. There was just sandwiches left for most of the marathon runners. All the basics were covered really well though. Medal and T-shirt both great. And the bonus of having a small field is that it is super-friendly, everyone does take the time to chat to each other. I'd definitely do it again, but will be ticking off another new route or two first!Date of review: September 8, 2008
In short: Nice route, freezing North wind!In full: Did the Half, very scenic on the coastal section and with some nice single track roads on the last stretch. A few busy roads involved on the route with fast / crazy motorists dodging between the runners, but mostly the traffic was considerate. Organisation overall excellent and plenty of water stations and supplies handed out by friendly volunteers. Little / no spectators apart from ones who knew folk running, but thats maybe cos it was bloomin' freezin in the wind!Got a nice medal and good quality t-shirt, but I did wonder where the advertised 'goody bags' went? My support said all the 10k runners got one but there were none left for the Halfers or Full Marathoners. Not a major gripe as there was free food back at the town hall, but a Mars bar or something sugary to snack would have been nice at the end.Finish line was in a very nice park, with loads of car parking space and all facilities just a short walk away. More toilets would be useful in future as the number of people entering this event seem to be increasing each year.Date of review: September 7, 2008

University Physics II
In 1995 the National Science Foundation funded a grant for the restructuring of the University of Arkansas' introductory electricity and magnetism course, University Physics II (UPII). The course was re-built using a mixture of traditional elements and the latest results of Physics Education Research(PER). Once the redesigned course was functioning and showed promise, methods to improve on the initial design were sought. What we found were a variety of completely new methods to try and a concept inventory. We wanted to make small changes to a course that was working well, not totally overhaul the course again with different methods. Out of this experience grew the expanding system of educational engineering presented at this site

Cadmona A. Hall, Ph.D. Chicago Campus
"Along with a love of teaching, I enjoy mentoring students and I am dedicated to developing culturally responsible marriage and family therapists." - Cadmona A. Hall, Ph.D.
Cadmona A. Hall, Ph.D.
Core Faculty, Couple and Family Department
I believe teaching is a privilege and a great responsibility; therefore, I bring passion and energy to courses I teach. I believe that all students have the ability to achieve. My hope is for students to finish each course having done self-exploration that leads to a new or deeper understanding of themselves and the world. I believe that marriage and family therapists have a responsibility to not only know their craft but also know themselves because they are the tool that is brought into the therapy room.
Self-of-the-therapist training is an important aspect of developing future family therapists. It is essential that students learn their own values, beliefs, and growing edges. The best way for students to do this is by examining the effects different dimensions of culture (i.e. race, class, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, age, and gender) have on their lives and their worldview.
I value the relational exploration of self, other and context in order to learn the necessary skills to work effectively with diverse couples and families. Along with a love of teaching, I enjoy mentoring students and I am dedicated to developing culturally responsible marriage and family therapists. The recent research and work that I am most excited about is exploring African Americans experiences with family therapy. Specifically, I am interested in exploring barriers to therapy and potential strategies for engagement. In addition, I explore issues of grief and loss within the context of couples and families.

For six years this tasty recipe for Low-Carb Almond and Parmesan Baked Fish was stuck back in the recipe archives without a photo. When I finally got around to cooking it for photos, I remembered how this recipe produced some of the the best-tasting Tilapia I'd ever had. When I told my nephew Jake that we were going to cook Tilapia, he was polite but told me he didn't really like it, but when we ate some with the homemade tartar sauce, Jake was completely amazed at how good it was. If you're not a Tilapia fan, use any firm white fish of your choice.
The almond meal and finely grated Parmesan makes a crispy coating on the fish that's also gluten-free and South Beach Diet friendly, and I'm betting this recipe will be a hit with just about anyone who tries it.
(Low-Carb Almond and Parmesan Baked Fish was updated with better photos in 2011 and featured as a Phase One Recipe in 2013.)
Almond and Parmesan Baked Tilapia
(makes 3-4 servings, recipe created by Kalyn)
3-4 Tilapia or other white fish filets, thawed if frozen (This recipe will work best with pieces that are at least 1/2 inch thick.)
1/4 cup melted butter or margarine, your choice
1/3 cup almond meal (I use Bob's Red Mill Almond Meal
2 T finely grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. pepper (or slightly more lemon pepper)
1/2 tsp. fish rub (optional, but recommended, I use Szeged Fish Rub.)

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Extraordinary event - nothing to compare this one too!In full: The ratings you have to give don't reflect the race but I've given it a go!?!PB potential - well I got a 69 mile PB, so should that be a 5 really? Didn't quite work with the "pure speed" explanation of PB potential!!Beginner Friendliness? - for an Ultra beginner (like me!) this was perfect so therefore 5? Again not really one for non runners (as per explanation for a 5!)To summarise - awesome start to finish. Will never forget this one! The organisation was impeccable, from marshals to arrows pointing the way, but most of all the runners around me. There was a real sense of camaraderie amongst those running around me (around 11 hr pace - Challenger), and the whole "toughing it out together" atmosphere made this the best event I have ever done!In for next year - yes it's expensive, but there's a lot to organise and a lot of miles to cover - obviously I would like it cheaper if possible but as far as I'm concerned - £200 well spent! Date of review: June 27, 2012
In short: A fantastic multi terrain run........starts on a field, then onto trails, then onto concrete before going back to the field! The hill at the end hurts but all adds to the fun.....fab race! Date of review: September 24, 2007
In short: It's one of the big races........you just have to do it and enjoy it!Date of review: September 14, 2004
In short: Organisation was incredible.......really made a hard run in extremely hot conditions a memorable race!Date of review: September 6, 2004
In short: It's tough but ultimately rewardingDate of review: August 31, 2004

My Top Ten MAC Lip Liners
This is a continuuation of my series of some of my favorite MAC products. Today I decided to focus again on lips. Lip Pencils are a must-have in my collection. They can make any lip color work if you find the right color. I love how pencils define lips. Mind you, you still have to blend to make them look good! And no permanent marker style lips people!
Click here to see my favorites!
1) Cream O' Spice - Great everyday go to color, warm pinky brown. I use it for natural looks. One of my most used pencils.
2) Plum Soft - My favorite pencil for plum/berry looks. It's the perfect color.
4) Cork - This is a must have for medium to dark skin tones. It's a warm brown that works with pretty much every color. It's a staple in my makeup bag.
5) Plum/Mahogany/Vino - These darker colors are great to have. Add a darker lip liner color to a lip shade that is completely off can make anything more wearable. I also love the way these darker tones look with a red lipstick - totally vamp and fierce!
6) Brick - An awesome liner for red lips. It's a little bit deeper so it makes bright red a little more flattering.
7) Redd - Speaking of red lips, if you want to go all out with red lips this is the one to go to. You definitely need a liner to help prevent red lips from feathering and this is a great match for most.
8) Spice - This is a classic color from MAC. I think the formula changed a bit over time though. I don't use it too often but I find that it's a great look for that medium tone nude.
9) Stripdown/Oak - You gotta have a nude lip pencil in your collection. Fill in your lips with one of these and you have a blank canvas that stays.
10) Soar/Beurre/Dervish - These are great pinky brown colors that match a lot of women's lip tones. Use to naturally define the lips and make them just look better.
11) Magenta - I love this pencil with my fuchsia lip colors. Gorgeous!

Topic: Can't access http://localhost:3000
Hey. I am having some issues setting up RoR on my laptop. I successfully set everything up on my desktop yesterday. I followed the same steps today on my laptop, but when I try to access http://localhost:3000 I get "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:3000." Please help!
I have the following installed (manual install - not instnt rails):
- Ruby 1.8.4 (stable)
- RubyGems 0.9.0
- Rails 1.2.1
- WEBrick 1.3.1
Both PC's running Windows XP
I have been using the essential training on www.lynda.com to get started, which guided me through the install pretty thoroughly. And like I said before, everything went fine on the first system.
I created a directory (c:\sites) and created a rails project with 'rails mysite'. I am able to successfully start the server with 'script/server'. Then, when I try to load http://localhost:3000 - nothing!
Why won't this work.

The most serious problem, say campaigners, is that allowances were doled out too generously.2005, and proponents argue that the EU should be praised for establishing a wide-ranging climate initiative, while other countries have not achieved half as much.
Carbon offsets, says one critic, give 'rich countries an escape hatch from their carbon reduction commitments.'allows companies to invest up to 50 percent of their emissions cuts via offsets in projects in developing countries that reduce carbon emissions. The idea is to execute emissions reductions where they are cheapest, spreading green technology in the process, and many EU enterprises have enthusiastically embraced such schemes. By the end of 2012, the number of issued CDM credits is expected to rise to 1.6 billion, up from 311 million in 2009.
Some climate campaigners want legally binding emissions cuts and carbon taxes.International Emissions Trading Association, which represents EU ETS participants, argues that because emissions have fallen in the last few years the system is working, recession or not. And, indeed, some researchers believe the EU is on course to hit its targets. Bloomberg New Energy Finance forecasts that, based on current trends, emissions will peak in 2015, before falling sharply in second half of the decade, as the effect of the new phase kicks in.
'Scrapping it would take a long time, and there's no guarantee we would have something better,' says one expert.abatement mechanisms. Policymakers face the danger of "carbon leakage," where firms will choose to operate outside the EU, should it set caps too stringently. "There are limits how far you go in Europe if the rest of the world does not follow," says Stig Schjolset, senior analyst at Thomson Reuters Point Carbon. "Before something happens in the U.S. and the developing countries, it will be difficult to make the European system more stringent and more effective."

A Green Fund That Still Soars
Can wind and solar stocks revive anytime soon? Maybe not. Many companies remain on shaky ground. Hundreds of alternative energy companies have shuttered their doors in the past year, and more are likely to follow. But there is a steadier way to bet on greener technologies: PowerShares WilderHill Progressive Energy Portfolio (PUW) . The PowerShares ETF does not hold solar or wind businesses. Instead, it focuses on companies that are working to make traditional energy systems more efficient. Holdings include companies that reduce coal emissions and produce efficient cars.
The stocks in the ETF have been thriving as consumer and corporate buyers struggle to hold down costs and reduce pollution. During the past three years, the PowerShares fund has returned 8.0% annually. The performance was particularly notable in the past year. While many solar funds lost more than 38%, the PowerShares fund gained 10.5%.
The ETF remains attractive because it focuses squarely on some dynamic businesses with steady sales, says Carolyn Hill, an ETF specialist for IndexUniverse.com. "I'm not sure if the country is quite ready to embrace solar power, but many people do want to buy energy-efficient refrigerators," she says.
The ETF tracks an index of about 50 stocks that is assembled by researchers for WilderHill. The researchers vet the stocks and aim to provide a diversified collection that covers a range of industries. The index excludes stocks with market capitalizations of less than $150 million. The top 40 holdings each account for about 2% of assets. Some small stocks each account for about 0.5% of assets.
While the solar and wind ETFs emphasize fledgling companies, the PowerShares fund owns a mix of large and small stocks. Many holdings are solid businesses with long track records. In some cases, the PowerShares companies focus exclusively on energy efficiency. But many holdings operate diverse businesses, including lines that are not connected to energy.
Blue chips in the portfolio have helped to stabilize the PowerShares ETF's results during periods when many energy stocks were sinking. Among the steadiest blue-chips in the portfolio is Emerson Electric (EMR) , which has a market capitalization of $41 billion. Known for building efficient motors and measuring equipment, Emerson has long reported high returns on equity. The company has increased its dividend annually for years. Another large-cap holding is Johnson Controls (JCI) , with a market capitalization of $21 billion. A maker of energy control systems for buildings and hybrid vehicles, Johnson pays a 2.5% dividend.

The tactical situation was daunting; at this point, the police had only a 10-1 advantage over a subject who — according to Duran's official report — had taken an "aggressive posture" in her hospital bed. The sacred imperative of "officer safety" dictated that the subject be thoroughly softened up in order to minimize resistance.

I'm probably just a misguided American, but I got to thinking recently...
Consensus among many puerh aficionados is that many factory sheng cakes 2003 and prior can often be pretty darn good, since this was before the big puerh craze. Before demand for great maocha was really outpacing supply, and before factories were putting out a lot of junk cakes to meet that high demand. Of course, this is not to say that all cakes 2003 and prior are good, and those after suck, but it's a general concept. After the puerh bubble burst, maocha prices started to go back down a bit, but in the last couple years they are really skyrocketing again. Could be China's economy, more Chinese becoming tea connoisseurs, more international demand for sheng, etc, etc, etc.
Anyway, with 2003 and prior tea cakes at a premium due to their pre-puerh-bubble perception, and current offerings of those trendy $100-$500+ village of the month cakes, it made sense to me that the years 2004-2009 must have some really great hidden gems from known factories that are selling for a lot less than the current market for great maocha would allow.
I'll get things started with a cake from one of my favorite regions, Bingdao. This is a pretty well known cake, but considering this already has 6 years of aging under its belt, and it clocks in at 500g, I think this is a very nicely priced tea. The flavors are complex and strong without too much of the bitter rubbery taste found in many young shengs, it has a lot of stamina, a long sweet finish, and some powerful warm Qi.
Please share what makes your list for high-quality-for-a-fair-price post 2003 sheng cakes! Thanks.

Our Infra Red Detector Of Trains (IRDOT) emits a beam of invisible infrared light through a small hole drilled between the ties of your model railroad track. When a locomotive or railcar passes overhead, it reflects this beam through the same hole to IRDOT's detector. This, in turn, triggers a circuit which turns on a light or energizes a relay. Use it to indicate when a train has reached the end of a hidden siding, is located in a tunnel, has cleared hidden staging yard switches and more. IRDOT's circuitry is independent of track power and detects both powered and unpowered rolling stock without modification. Operation is not affected by room lighting. Circuit board is 1-1/4 Inches wide x 3-1/2 inches long. Requires external 12-16v AC or DC power supply (use the accessory terminals of your power pack or separate transformer). Maximum switched current is 0.1a. Includes red LED for train indication, plus instructions for advanced circuits, signals and easy installation.IRDOT-1EW with extended wire-leads has separate emitter and detector attached to 18 inch long leads for mounting in tight spaces or for use as a beam splitter (trains break the beam and trip the circuit). Use #60748 #2 x 1/2 inch wood screws (sold separately) for mounting IRDOT circuit board to base board. (2 screws required per IRDOT.)

Robert H. Sayre; An Industrial Pioneer
Ask just about anyone who the father of Bethlehem Steel was and most would name those two 20th century titans of industry, Charles Schwab and Eugene Grace. Ask who the father of Lehigh University was and the reply will surely be Asa Packer.
But it would be the rare person who will know that without Robert H. Sayre, none of these institutions, one gone, the other flourishing, would have survived at all. Perhaps it is about time Sayre be given his chance to take a discreet historical bow.
Sayre was not always so obscure. At his death roughly 100 years ago, he was hailed in the press as a pioneer of development. His life and the rise of Lehigh Valley's industry happen to fit neatly together.
Born on October 13, 1824 in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, Robert Sayre might not have had the life he had if it were not for the War of 1812, which ended 9 years before his birth. This conflict between Britain and the U.S. was largely a naval one. And one of its victims was the venerable merchant shipping line that had been in Sayre's family almost as far back as their arrival in America in 1647. Bankrupted by the war, Robert Sayre's father, William Sayre, took his wife, Elizabeth, and children to a small farming property in Columbia County where young Robert first saw the light of day. He was one of 11 children, only five of which survived to adulthood.
That Sayre's father was not cut out to be a farmer quickly became clear to his friends. So they arranged a job for him at Mauch Chunk, now Jim Thorpe, working as a toll taker and record keeper on the Lehigh Canal. It was in this community that Robert Sayre got his first insight into life.
A quick study, Sayre did well in the local public schools and in civil engineering. But it was Sayre's link to a canal boat builder named Asa Packer that really changed his life. Packer met Sayre's father at Mauch Chunk's Episcopal Church. The elder Sayre had graciously accepted Packer as an Episcopalian when he was turned down by other churches for refusing to sign a temperance pledge.
Under Packer's guidance, Sayre's rise was swift. On May 25, 1855 Robert Sayre mounted the cab of the locomotive, General Wall, at South Easton and drove it four miles up the line on the new Lehigh Valley Railroad, which he himself had surveyed. And on September 15, 1855 the first train load of anthracite coal rolled down from Mauch Chunk to Easton.
It was Sayre who established South Bethlehem as the operational headquarters of the railroad. And while Packer ran the financial end of things from his Chestnut Street mansion in Philadelphia, Sayre oversaw the railroad.
His next venture for Packer had Sayre shepherd what was the Bethlehem Iron Company. It was Sayre who in 1861 persuaded a young Pennsylvania German machinist named John Fritz to come east from Johnstown and take a position with Bethlehem Iron to oversee rail-making operations. By the late 1860s Bethlehem's rails were being shipped around Cape Horn to California to supply the Central Pacific Railroad in its meeting with the Union Pacific for North America's first transcontinental railroad.
Sayre and Fritz did not stop there. Seeing in the early 1870s that the steel rails being developed in Europe were the wave of the future, Sayre sent Fritz to Europe to tour the best steel facilities in England and France and bring the ideas home. In 1873 they had created at Bethlehem a process for making steel rails that was to power the company through the economic panic that wiped out many another Lehigh Valley iron business. Later the pair would lead the company into armaments and the creation of the modern American navy. In 1899 it was renamed Bethlehem Steel.
But Sayre's talents were not confined to business. After Packer announced plans to fund Lehigh University, it was Sayre who oversaw its growth and development. He selected the architect and often the professors who taught there. As many of the students were the sons of business associates, he cast a watchful eye over their personal and moral lives as well, and, as a devout Episcopal layman, Sayre insisted that the college remain under the control of that church.
Despite Sayre's devotion to Packer, after his mentor's death in 1879 he found himself at odds with his heirs. "The boys have come to scalp me and have brought the hatchet," he noted in his diary on a day in 1882 when Robert and Harry Packer informed him that after serving the family faithfully for 30 years, his services were no longer required. "So I have arrived at the conclusion that honesty and faithfulness do not count for much in this world."
But when Packer's sons died young, the family interests were taken over by his nephew Elijah Packer Wilber. And Wilber wanted his uncle's right-hand man at his side. So Sayre once more went to work for the Packer family.
Sayre's last task for the Packer family was perhaps his hardest. The Panic of 1893 hit the Lehigh Valley Railroad hard. Lehigh University, largely endowed with railroad stock, was on the edge of closing its doors.
Only state aid could save the school, but that would never happen as long as the university was tied with the Episcopal Church. So working with the board Sayre agreed to "disestablish" the college from the church. The state gave Lehigh $150,000. By 1900 the railroad was back in the black, although no longer under the control of the Packer family and the state aid ceased.
Robert Sayre died in 1907. Today the steel mills and railroads he toiled to create are no more, but by keeping faith with his mentor he had saved Lehigh University as his legacy.

About the Authors: Heidi Manley and James Lawrence serve in the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and mtvU, MTV's 24-hour college network, announced on July 8 the four 2009 winners of the Fulbright–mtvU Fellowships, established in 2007 to promote "the power of music" as a global force for mutual understanding. We awarded fellowships to Andrew Magill of the University of North Carolina—Chapel Hill, Michael Silvers of the University of California—Los Angeles, Rod Solaimani of Georgetown University and Tina Wadhwa of Columbia University. These four outstanding students will conduct research abroad in Malawi, Brazil, Morocco, and India, respectively, for one academic year on projects of their own design, around an aspect of international musical culture.
Andrew will travel to Malawi to work with the UNC Malawi Project and AIDS organizations to video-record narratives of Malawian families and communities affected by HIV/AIDS. Andrew will collaborate with Peter Mawanga, a well-known musician and social activist, to develop a concept album whose sales will benefit AIDS social service networks.
Working with Vila Estúdio, a recording studio in Fortaleza, Ceará, Michael will study the relationship between the culture of forró, a kind of popular dance music, and the climate of northeastern Brazil.
Rod will travel to Morocco to study and participate in the Afro-Arab-Gnawa-Western musical exchange. A skilled percussionist, he will research the impact of U.S.-Moroccan musical partnerships in three cities, use his findings in local high school music curricula, and promote cross-cultural collaboration with a student concert.
Tina will travel to India to create a documentary exploring the impact and influence of Bollywood music on underprivileged youth in Mumbai. She will also develop the music and drama center of the Akanksha Foundation.
Andrew, Michael, Rod and Tina will share their experiences during their Fulbright year via video reports, blogs and podcasts that will be showcased on mtvU and mtvU.com, and on Fulbright.mtvU.com. This will help to project their research and findings to mtvU's following of more than 9 million college students on 750 campuses. The Fulbright-mtvU Fellows will not only be able to engage with the communities they are living in, but also with Americans and the international community at-large.
The Fulbright Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, is the U.S. government's flagship international exchange program and is supported by the people of the United States and partner countries around the world. Since 1946, it has provided more than 294,000 grants to participants from over 155 countries. The more than 1,500 Fulbright U.S. Student Program grants offered annually provide an opportunity to study, teach and conduct research, to exchange ideas and contribute to finding solution to shared international concerns. The Fulbright Program and mtvU also announced the launch of our search for the next Fulbright-mtvU Fellows. Applications for the Fulbright-mtvU Fellowships, and all other Fulbright U.S. Student Program grants, including traditional research grants and English Teaching Assistantships, will be accepted through October 19, 2009.

On the primary human level, we all share the same hopes, dreams and good will. People are basically good in nature as LRH declares and anyone who has been in any war zone has seen.
As such, completive social events as sports and talents such as music are common factors in life. A master carpenter in Ghana is as admired for his craft as a master carpenter in the U.S.; they are the crafts of man and women alike. Skills learned and appreciated on the singular level by all.
Music is one of the arts which incorporate both the singular skills and collective skills of any society and culture. It has the ability to communicate and reflect its environment more so then other crafts in this regard.

Long Beach State to Induct Knipe into Hall of Fame
B.J. Hoeptner Evans
Manager, Media Relations and Publications
Phone: (719) 228-6800
E-Mail: email@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Sept. 13, 2011) – U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team Head Coach Alan Knipe will be inducted into the Long Beach State athletic department's Hall of Fame on Nov. 9 at the Hilton Long Beach Hotel & Executive Meeting Center.
Although Knipe (Huntington Beach, Calif.) was the Long Beach State men's volleyball head coach for nine years before he took a leave of absence to coach the U.S. Men's Team, he is being inducted into the Hall of Fame as player.
"It's a huge honor to go in as a player," said Knipe, 42. "It's been a while since I was considered a player. Probably the best thing about it is that my kids only know me as a coach."
Knipe played at LBSU from 1990-92, winning the NCAA Championship in 1991 and being named All-America in 1992. He helped the team get to the NCAA finals in 1990. Knipe started his career at outside hitter, but was moved to middle blocker for his second season.
"I thought from the very first time I spent time with the group of guys that it was a special group; very driven and welcoming," Knipe said. "Some of those players are my best and closest friends to this day."
Knipe will be joined in the Class of 2011 by current Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim pitcher Jered Weaver, softball player Meredith Cervenka, track and field athlete Le'Gretta Smith (Hinds), women's basketball player Margaret Mohr, administrator Doug Robinson, men's tennis player and coach Peter Smith, football player Mark Templeton, women's volleyball player Cheryl Weaver and the 1989 Women's Volleyball National Championship Team.
"I know my kids are super excited to meet Jered Weaver at the ceremony," Knipe said.

Topic: Good book to learn Ruby?
I keep toying around with the idea of Ruby and Rails and every time I try to get my head around Rails, I keep feeling there is something missing that I should be knowing. For instance, many books and tutorials start talking about link_to and link_to_remote helpers and the sort. How does one get to know that such things even exist? Do you just sit and read through the complete rails documentation?
Anyways, my plan is to first learn Ruby well. Are there any books that you would suggest to learn Ruby?

In Twitter IPO, It's Not the Margins That Kill -- It's the Multiples
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- When it comes to Twitter -- and for that, matter Google
It's the macroeconomics.
Is it just me, or is everybody fighting major mental lactic acid buildup tracking the ludicrous looming Twitter IPO narrative? By now, I should be ravenous for the inside dirt on the operation, like New York Times columnist Nick Bilton's bare-knuckled tell-all on Twitter exec Jack Dorsey throwing his buddy Evan Williams under the bus to gain control of the company.
I know I certainly ought to have dissected many times over Twitter's pre-IPO, S-1 Securities and Exchange Commission disclosures of soaring $316 million 2012 revenues looking for inconsistencies. And I should be fascinated by how the once-vaulted New York Stock Exchange has been reduced to -- a la Bialystock and Bloom of The Producers fame -- running what amounts to a full dress rehearsal for the public offering, probably around Thanksgiving, to be sure all goes as planned.
But none of that -- or really, anything else about Twitter -- gets me anywhere close to overcoming the mental bone weariness of covering yet another wave of investors about to get mowed down by the same old Information Age fact: When it comes to tech, the company story is only half about the price of the stock. The other half is the available wealth in investors' pockets to pay that price for the stock.
And, according to alarming new figures from Bureau of Labor Statistics, the core, large-scale macroeconomic productivity that drives demand for tech equities is bleeding from the Information economy like just so many Justin Bieber tweets. ���
The less-productive information economy
In late September, the U.S. Department of Labor published its latest data on Multifactor Productivity for Manufacturing Industries (2011 is the latest year for it has released such findings). Here the combined inputs, outputs and total multifactor productivity were ranked and compared for all American market verticals. Percentage gains and losses for everything from motor vehicles to medical equipment, turbines and transmission equipment -- and, yes, computer and peripheral equipment -- were ranked and compared.
Not only did the computer and peripheral sector lead the decline in total productivity, but its drop was in the double digits, falling by easily in the upper mid-20% range by some measures -- despite an overall increase in generic semiconductors and electronics components.

Search the library catalog for the location and call number. The scattered instances depicting material literature in Anglo-Saxon poetry should be regarded as a group. This phenomenon occurs in Beowulf, The Dream of the Rood, and The Husband's Message. Comparative examples of material literature can be found on the Ruthwell Cross and the Franks Casket. This study examines material literature in these three poems, comparing their depictions of material literature to actual examples. Poems depicting material literature bring the relationship between man and object into dramatic play, using the object's point of view to bear witness to the truth of distant or intensely personal events. Material literature is depicted in a love poem, The Husband's Message, when a prosopopoeic runestick vouches for the sincerity of its master, in the heroic epic Beowulf when an ancient, inscribed sword is the impetus to give an account of the biblical flood, and is also implied in the devotional poem The Dream of the Rood, as two crosses both pre-and-post dating the poem bear texts similar to portions of the poem. The study concludes by examining the relationship between material anxiety and the character of Weland in Beowulf, Deor, Alfred's Consolation of Philosophy, and Waldere A & B. Concern with materiality in Anglo-Saxon poetry manifests in myriad ways: prosopopoeic riddles, both heroic and devotional passages directly assailing the value of the material, personification of objects, and in depictions of material literature. This concern manifests as a material anxiety. Weland tames the material and twists and shapes it, re-affirming the supremacy of mankind in a material world.
