… when I was young(er), I was curious … What are we made of ? … sugar and spice and all things nice … that's what little girls are made of … snips and snails and puppy dogs tails … that's what little boys are made of. … ok mum, … so what are sugar, spice and snails etc. made of? … cells … molecules … atoms … nuclei
The Uncertainty Principle Heisenberg (Quantum Mechanics) (position) (momentum) > Constant Beausang (Teaching) (truth) (clarity) > Constant
Atoms … are made of … Electrons … very light, but occupy most of the volume inside an atom Nuclei … lie at the Core of Atoms … very heavy, very small, very compact …occupies almost none of the volume inside the atom
How do we know? How to see the invisible? … size of your probe … scattering Alpha-particle beam Detector Zinc-sulfide screen Discovery of the nucleus ~1910 The eyes of Geiger and Marsden 16-inch Battleship shells and tissue paper
Think of atoms as being like a mini solar system … The sun at the center is the nucleus, the electrons orbit the nucleus, like the planets orbit around the sun Bohr Model
Electrons Very small Point-like particles (i.e.nothing inside an electron) Very light~ 1/2000 th of proton mass Negatively charged (-1 elementary charge) Electrons occupy almost all the space in the atom (orbiting the nucleus like the earth and other planets orbit the sun) Have almost none of the mass of the atom All of chemistry has to do with electrons from different atoms interacting with each other
The Nucleus Made up of protons and neutrons Almost all of the mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus. >99.9% of the known mass in the universe. Occupies almost none of the volume of the atom. Radius < 1/10,000 Volume < 1/1,000,000,000,000
The nucleus is the source of almost all the things we commonly think of as being radioactive.
The Nucleus Protons Positively charged (+1 elementary charge) Size ~ 1 fm (10 -15 m) Mass 938 MeV/c 2 = 1 Neutrons Neutral (0 charge) Size ~ 1 fm (10 -15 m) Mass 939 MeV/c 2 ~ 1 Neutrons are slightly more massive than the protons!!! This has huge consequences for us!
Delicate Balances Laws of Physics 1)If it can happen … it will happen … 2)If some law forbids it to happen … it will happen more slowly … 3)If a process is really REALLY forbidden to happen … it just takes a long time …
Standard Model: Neutron and proton are very close relatives quark structure … proton (uud) … neutron (udd) Many laws allow neutrons to `change into' into protons … change a d-quark into a u- quark (or vice versa) … beta-decay
The half life of a free neutron (i.e., one not inside a nucleus) is only about 12 minutes!!! Mass Neutron = 939.565330 MeV/c 2 Mass Proton = 938.271998 MeV/c 2 But … Inside a nucleus … neutrons are stable The half life of a free proton is > 10 31 years Inside some nuclei protons can 'decay' into neutrons Imagine … if they were not! Then in ~ 1-2 hours the entire universe would be made of Hydrogen E = mc 2
The Nucleus Atoms are electrically neutral The number of protons in a nucleus is equal to and determines the number of orbiting electrons the chemistry the element name Hydrogen ( 1 1 H) 1 proton, 0 neutrons Mass = 1 Helium ( 4 2 He) (Alpha-particle) 2 protons, 2 neutrons Mass = 4 Uranium ( 238 92 U) 92 protons, 146 neutrons Mass = 238
The Nucleus Many elements have several stable nuclei with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons … same name same chemistry different mass Isotopes

Chart of the Nuclei The Landscape ~300 stable ~ 7000 unstable … radioactive.
Half Life 28 Time taken for half of the substance to decay away Example: If you have 1000 radioactive nuclei and If their half life is 30 minutes After 30 minutes 500 nuclei remain After 60 minutes 250 remain After 90 minutes 125 remain After 120 minutes 62 remain There is a huge variation in half lives of different isotopes …. From a tiny fraction of a second to roughly the age of the universe.
Some Isotopes & Their Half Lives ISOTOPE HALF- LIFE APPLICATIONS Uraniumbillions of years Natural uranium is comprised of several different isotopes. When enriched in the isotope of U-235, it's used to power nuclear reactor or nuclear weapons. Carbon-14 5730 y Found in nature from cosmic interactions, used to "carbon date" items and as radiolabel for detection of tumors. Cesium-137 30.2 y Blood irradiators, tumor treatment through external exposure. Also used for industrial radiography. Hydrogen-3 12.3 yLabeling biological tracers. Irridium-19274 dImplants or "seeds" for treatment of cancer. Also used for industrial radiography. Molybdenum-9966 hParent for Tc-99m generator. Technicium-99m 6 hBrain, heart, liver (gastoenterology), lungs, bones, thyroid, and kidney imaging, regional cerebral blood flow, etc. 29
The Amount of Radioactivity is NOT Necessarily Related to Size Specific activity is the amount of radioactivity found in a gram of material. Radioactive material with long half- lives have low specific activity. 1 gram of Cobalt-60 has the same activity as 1800 tons of natural Uranium 30
31 For Example: Suppose we have 1,000,000,000 atoms of material A with a half life of 1 second and 1,000,000,000 atoms of material B with a half life of 1 year (real sources have many more atoms in them) Suppose they both decay by alpha emission. In the First Second Substance A: Half the nuclei will decay … 500,000,000 alpha particles will come zipping out at you. 1 year = 365 days * 24 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds = 31,536,000 seconds In the First Second for substance B Only ~ 500,000,000 / 31,536,000 = 16 nuclei will decay … only 16 alpha particles will come zipping at you
32 On the other hand … In 10 seconds … almost all of the radioactivity in substance A is gone away But it takes years for the activity of substance B to go away! Nuclear Bombs … The fissile material (U or Pu) has a long half-life. Low specific activity. Not much activity on the outside. Dirty Bombs … The radioactive material wrapped around the explosive would probably have a much shorter half-life. Perhaps significant activity on the outside.
Types of Radioactivity 33 Each type of radiation has different properties which affect the hazards they pose, the detection mechanism and the shielding required to stop them. Five Common Types Alpha Decay Beta Decay Gamma Decay Fission Neutron Emission Each of the particles emitted in the decay carries a lot of kinetic energy. Damage can be caused when this energy is absorbed in a human cell.
Alpha Decay 34 An alpha particle ( ) is an energetic, He nucleus ( 4 2 He 2 ) Alpha decay mostly occurs for heavy nuclei Example 238 94 Pu 234 92 U + 4 2 He Half-life: 88 years Energy =5.56 MeV
Alpha Decay 35 Very easy to shield A sheet of paper, skin, or a few cm (~inch) of air will stop an alpha particle External Hazard: Low Internal Hazard: High
Alpha Decay 238 94 Pu 144 234 92 U 142 + Parent nucleus 238 94 Pu 144 Daughter Nucleus 234 92 U 142 –Often the daughter nucleus is also radioactive and will itself subsequently decay. –Decay chains or families (e.g. uranium, thorium decay chains). 36
Decay Chains 37 238 94 Pu 234 92 U + t 1/2 = 88 yrs 234 92 U 230 90 Th + t 1/2 = 2.5 10 5 yrs 230 90 Th 226 88 Ra + t 1/2 = 8.0 10 4 yrs 226 88 Ra 222 86 Rn + t 1/2 = 1.6 10 3 yrs 222 86 Rn 218 84 Po + t 1/2 = 3.8 days 218 84 Po 214 82 Pb + t 1/2 = 3.1 min 214 82 Pb 214 83 Bi + t 1/2 = 27 min 214 83 Bi 214 84 Po + t 1/2 = 20 min 214 84 Po 210 82 Pb + t 1/2 = 160 s
Decay Chains 38 210 82 Pb 210 83 Bi + t 1/2 = 22 yrs 210 83 Bi 210 84 Po + t 1/2 = 5 days 210 84 Po 206 82 Pb + t 1/2 = 138 days 206 82 Pb is STABLE
Decay Chains 39 Pu U Th Ra Rn Po Pb Hg Au
Beta Decay The neutron and the proton are very similar to each other (very closely related). A neutron can 'change into' a proton, or vice versa. When this happens, an energetic electron (or positron) is emitted. This is called beta-decay 40 A beta-particle is an electron (e) or its anti-particle the positron (e + ) n p + e - + p n + e + +
Beta Decay 41 In terms of nuclei beta-decay looks like As in the case of alpha decay the daughter nuclei are usually radioactive and will themselves decay. Beta-particles are HARDER to stop Since the electron is lighter than an alpha-particle and carries less charge. Therefore, the range of a beta-particle is greater and it takes more shielding to stop beta-particles (electrons or positrons) than alpha particles ~ few mm or 1 cm of lead ~ few feet of air 137 55 Cs 82 137 56 Ba 81 + e - +
Beta-Decay 42 Beta-particles are HARDER to stop Since the electron is lighter than an alpha- particle and carries less charge. Therefore, the range of a beta-particle is greater and it takes more shielding to stop beta-particles (electrons or positrons) than alpha particles ~ few mm or 1 cm of lead ~ few feet of air
Gamma-Decay 43 A beta-decay or alpha-decay typically leaves the daughter nucleus in a highly excited state. To get to the ground state the nucleus (rapidly … almost instantly) emits one or more gamma-rays Gamma-rays are a very energetic form of light. More energy and more penetrating than x-rays. No charge Much more penetrating than either alpha or beta. Few inches of Pb, many feet of air
Gamma-Decay 44 Gamma-ray energies are characteristic of the nucleus. Measure the energies … identify the nucleus. (just like atoms or molecules give off characteristic colors of light). Measuring the gamma-ray is by far the best and easiest way to measure what type of radioactive substance you are dealing with.
Fission 45 What holds nuclei together? Protons repel each other (opposites attract, like repel) Coulomb Force Some other force must hold nuclei together The STRONG FORCE Attractive and Stronger than the Coulomb Force But short range
Fission 46 What happens if you have a lot of protons (i.e in a heavy nucleus)? …Eventually the Coulomb repulsion will win … and the nucleus will fall apart into two smaller (radioactive!!) nuclei. FISSION An enormous amount of energy is released. This energy is utilized in power plants and in fission bombs.
Fission 47 The heavy parent nucleus fissions … into two lighter fission fragment nuclei … Plus some left over bits … energetic neutrons Example: 252 Cf is a spontaneous fission source … Sometimes this process happens spontaneously … sometimes you can 'poke' at the nucleus and induce it to fission
Fission …Fission Fragments 48 Are emitted with a huge energy but stop very quickly (very short range). Are all radioactive nuclei and will decay usually by beta-and gamma-decay Mass Probability Heavy fragment Light fragment They have a broad range of masses
Induced Fission 49 Some nuclei can be made to fission when struck by something … Usually the something is a neutron Example: 235 U + n fission Remember … in the fission process extra neutrons are released If some of these strike other 235 U nuclei … they can induce another fission
Induced Fission 50 Chain Reaction Controlled … nuclear power plant … exactly one neutron per fission induces another fission. Uncontrolled … nuclear bomb … more than one neutron per reaction induces another fission
What is a "Dose" of Radiation? When radiation's energy is deposited into our body's tissues, that is a dose of radiation. The more energy deposited into the body, the higher the dose. Rem is a unit of measure for radiation dose. Small doses expressed in mrem = 1/1000 rem. Rad & R (Roentgens) are similar units that are often equated to the Rem. 51 From Understanding Radiation, Brooke Buddemeier, LLNL
Typical Doses Average Dose to US Public from All sources360 mrem/year Average Dose to US Public From Natural Sources300 mrem/year Average Dose to US Public From Medical Uses53 mrem/year Coal Burning Power Plant0.2 mrem/year Average dose to US Public from Weapons Fallout< 1 mrem/year Average Dose to US Public From Nuclear Power< 0.1 mrem/year Occupational Dose Limit for Radiation Workers5,000 mrem/yr Coast to coast Airplane roundtrip5 mrem Chest X ray8 mrem Dental X ray10 mrem Head/neck X ray20 mrem Shoe Fitting Fluoroscope (not in use now)170 mrem CT (head and body)1,100 mrem Therapeutic thyroid treatment (dose to the whole body)7,000 mrem 52 From Understanding Radiation, Brooke Buddemeier, LLNL
Types of Exposure & Health Effects Acute Dose –Large radiation dose in a short period of time –Large doses may result in observable health effects Early: Nausea & vomiting Hair loss, fatigue, & medical complications Burns and wounds heal slowly – Examples: medical exposures and accidental exposure to sealed sources Chronic Dose –Radiation dose received over a long period of time –Body more easily repairs damage from chronic doses –Does not usually result in observable effects –Examples: Background Radiation and Internal Deposition 53 Inhalation From Understanding Radiation, Brooke Buddemeier, LLNL
Dividing Cells are the Most Radiosensitive Rapidly dividing cells are more susceptible to radiation damage. Examples of radiosensitive cells are –Blood forming cells –The intestinal lining –Hair follicles –A fetus 54 This is why the fetus has a exposure limit (over gestation period) of 500 mrem (or 1/10 th of the annual adult limit) From Understanding Radiation,Brooke Buddemeier, LLNL
At HIGH Doses, We KNOW Radiation Causes Harm High Dose effects seen in: – Radium dial painters – Early radiologists – Atomic bomb survivors – Populations near Chernobyl – Medical treatments –Criticality Accidents In addition to radiation sickness, increased cancer rates were also evident from high level exposures. 55 From Understanding Radiation,Brooke Buddemeier, LLNL
Effects of ACUTE Exposures Dose (Rads*)Effects 25-50 First sign of physical effects (drop in white blood cell count) 100 Threshold for vomiting (within a few hours of exposure) 320 - 360 ~ 50% die within 60 days (with minimal supportive care) 480 - 540 ~50 % die within 60 days (with supportive medical care) 1,000 ~ 100% die within 30 days 56 * For common external exposures 1 Rad ~ 1Rem = 1,000 mrem From Understanding Radiation,Brooke Buddemeier, LLNL
At LOW Doses, We PRESUME Radiation Causes Harm No physical effects have been observed Although somewhat controversial, this increased risk of cancer is presumed to be proportional to the dose (no matter how small). The Bad News:Radiation is a carcinogen and a mutagen The Good News: Radiation is a very weak carcinogen and mutagen! Very Small DOSE = Very Small RISK 57 From Understanding Radiation Brooke Buddemeier, LLNL
Radiation Detectors 58 Range of Radiation Alpha: Small.Shield with a piece of paper Beta:SmallishShield with a ½ inch or so of Pb Gamma: LongShield with a few inches of Pb Neutron:Very longShield with many inches of parafin To detect the radiation it has to a)Get to and b) Get into your detector
Radiation Detectors 59 Almost all work on the same general idea When an energetic charged particle passes through matter it will rapidly slow down and lose its energy by interacting with the atoms of the material (detector or body) Mostly with the atomic electrons It will 'kick' these electrons off of the atoms leaving a trail of ionized atoms behind it (like a vapor trail of a jet plane) Radiation detectors use a high voltage and some electronics to measure these vapor trails. They measure a (small) electric current).
Radiation Detectors 60 Like a bullet going through something A friction force will slow it down and stop it Friction More Charge More friction More Massive More friction More friction Shorter Range
Radiation Detectors 61 It has to get into your detector e.g. Alpha …. A few inches of air or a piece of paper stops it … if your detector is a few feet away, it will not detect the alpha … e.g. Alpha … if the sides of the detector are too thick the alpha will not get in and will not be detected
Radiation Detectors 62 Neutrons and gamma-rays are neutral No charge … much less friction … much longer range When they penetrate matter eventually they also will interact somehow (gamma-rays interact via Compton scattering, photoelectic effect or pair production, neutrons will collide with protons in the nuclei) and these interactions produce energetic charged particles. The detectors are sensitive to these secondary particles.
Types of detector 63 Alpha, Beta and Gamma radiation Film Badges Gas Counters (Geiger counters) Scintillators Solid State Detectors
Film Badges 64 Will detect: beta, gamma and neutron Need to send away and develop the film and then later will tell you what does you received Used by radiation workers TLC devices … similar idea but with real-time readout
Gas Counters 65 e.g. Geiger Counters Will Detect:Alpha, Beta, some gamma No identification … just tells you something is there With a thin entrance window GM-tube is sensitive to alphas
Scintillators 66 Make a flash of light when something interacts Sodium Iodide Cesium Iodide Will Detect: Alpha (with thin window), beta (with thin window) and gamma. Gives moderate to bad energy information … some information on the type of radiation
Semiconductor Detectors 67 Germanium Silicon Will Detect: Gamma rays (also beta and alphas in a laboratory, not in the field) Excellent energy resolution: Can measure exactly was source you are looking at.
Spare Transparencies 68
Radioactive Decay 69 When can a nucleus decay? … When there is a lighter nucleus for it to decay into When this decay is allowed by certain conservation laws …. Conservation of energy Conservation of charge Certain other 'quantum numbers' When a physical process can happen … it will happen. When it is forbidden to happen … it just takes a little longer! If a nucleus can decay … it will
Beta Decay 70 Various laws must be obeyed, including 1.Conservation of Energy E = mc 2 … a heavy particle can decay into lighter one(s). The excess energy is turned into kinetic energy of the light particles 2.Conservation of Charge An electron is produced 3.Conservation of Lepton Number a very nebulous particle called a neutrino is also produced n p + e - +

Vollure breast enhancement cream is a clinically proven and 100% natural formula that can help increase your breast size by 8.4% in less than 60 days. All you need to do is apply two drops of this serum on your breasts locally and see them grow gradually. This cream can also help you make your breasts more fuller and firmer.
It contains ingredients like:
- Sarsapogenin – This special extract is derived from the plant Anemarrhena Asphodeloides and it helps increase adipocyte volume in the fatty tissue.
- Macelignan – It is a unique chemical that is derived from the nutmeg nut and helps increase adipose tissue volume through stimulation of PPAR-Y2 receptors. These receptors play an important rtole in regulating the expression of genes that are involved in the adipogenesis process (fat cell production).
- Macadamia Oil – This oil is rich in monounstaurated fatty acids palmitoleic acid. It is also rich in minerals like potassium, phosphorus, calcium and vitamins B1 ans B2. This gives it excellent smoothing, moisturizing and anti aging properties, This oil also better penetration and absorption of other ingredients into your skin.

Ida Linde (1980, Sweden) grew up in Umeå but now lives in Stockholm where she is a teacher of Creative Writing at the Biskop-Arnös Writers School. She debuted in 2006 with poetry collection/ poetic prose novel Maskinflickans testamente (The Machine girl's will) that revolves around football and personal loss. Linde has written a variety of critically acclaimed novels, among them En kärleksförklaring (A declaration of love) and Norrut åker man för att dö (You go north in order to die). Her second collection of poems, Räkneboken (Counting book), is as much a collection of aphorisms as it is a veritable textbook. She also writes and directs for the theatre. Whatever the genre, Linde is known for her linguistic density and an alarmingly poetic suggestion.

I used MultiFrame on & off for since 1994 or so.
I started with it when it was only Mac based but I was a Mac user then & the company I consulted for was all Mac based as well.
It was (is) a great little code (I still think of it as an easy to use Mac widget, that ran on a "toaster Mac")
Learning how to use it is VERY simple.
I even contacted the company back in the 90's about their plans for the PC platform since I thought it would be a great matrix methods learning platform. I tried to get the prof who taught matrix methods to use it when they finally went PC but he was a hard core "let the students program it themselves" kind of guy. Even though IMO Multiframe would have been an excellent adjunct.
I don't what it costs today & I don't know what you are wanting it to do but like I said its a great code, easy to learn & use. I can throw a small model together in a few minutes & do all sorts of configuration iterations quickly & easily.
The plotting of deflected shape, member stresses & forces are (again) easy to use. & (at least to me) very useful.
It has new features like code checks but don't use them.
I'm used to it & it does what I need done.
I have former students who use Multiframe at their firms & love it.
I have other students who use RISA & love it......two former students work for RISA. :)
Oh, Multiframe also does Modal (frequency & mode shapes) I've checked the analysis with simple laboratory models (experimentally) & the results were good.
I suggest you download (if you haven't) the demo & give it a test drive.

Controller appears to be of good quality. My problem is in locating a place to mount compressor in my 89 Toyota pu. Due to engine heat can't mount in engine compartment, due to occasional crossing of streams up to floor boards mounting on frame is out of the question. So inside the cab it goes. Will just have to put up with occasional noise.

Surging auto sales pushing North American suppliers
DETROIT (July 23, 1 p.m. ET) — Surging North American auto sales are pushing some suppliers to expand and hire more workers — steps they have resisted since the recession. Despite worries about declining demand in Europe, U.S. auto executives surveyed by advisory firm KPMG AG are bullish about their companies' prospects.

French Prime Minister Francois Fillon on Tuesday told lawmakers he was in favour of banning the full Islamic veil through a raft of legal and parliamentary measures, deputies said.
Fillon told a meeting of deputies from his governing right-wing UMP party that parliament should adopt a resolution outlining France's rejection of the burqa and that several "legislative texts and regulations" should follow.
The prime minister waded into a heated debate over whether to bar Muslim women from wearing the full veil, known as the niqab or burqa, just weeks before a parliamentary panel was due to release a report on the issue.
Many politicians from the left and right have cautioned that a draconian law banning the head-to-toe veil would be difficult to enforce and probably face a challenge in the European rights court.
"The goal is to ensure that the burqa does not have a place in France," Fillon said, according to one lawmaker.
The ban on the full veil must be applied "through a resolution that is sufficiently firm to outline the principles and through legislative texts and regulations to apply these principles," he said.
Home to Europe's biggest Muslim minority, France set up the special panel six months ago to consider whether a law should be enacted to ban the burqa.
Sarkozy himself has said that the burqa is not welcome in France but has not stated publicly whether legislation should be enacted.

Dear Millennials,
In 1632, Rembrandt painted a group of learned men dissecting a corpse. At a time when the inner workings of the body were mostly a mystery, their curiosity pushed the boundaries of human understanding. This period of Dutch history is called the Golden Age, because the economy was flourishing and science was making incredible progress.
Our modern era is similarly remarkable. Recently we landed a satellite on a comet. Self-driving cars and virtual reality are going to be common in a few years. Innovations in big data, connected devices and the Internet of Things are fundamentally changing how we socialize, work, play and learn.
Health care is also entering a new phase. At Philips, we are developing minimally invasive methods to treat patients by using concentrated waves of ultrasound to destroy tumors, allowing patients to recover sooner without large incisions. Or we enable doctors around the world to share expertise and digital cancer biopsies to arrive at better diagnoses. We also want to empower you to monitor and manage your health and want health care to be provided as a seamless service between your home, the hospital and your doctors.
I see this ability to change the world reflected in your generation. You are confident, expressive, liberal, and upbeat. You are digital natives, always connected, always sharing. And you're on track to become the most educated generation in history. Your spark is very welcome at an innovative company like Philips.
I am also aware that your generation is faced with its own challenges. Your entry into the workforce, for example, has been set back by the recent recession. A large percentage of you are unemployed, which is frustrating and may have consequences for many years to come.
But I urge you not to lose heart. My generation will only have part of the needed answers to global challenges like climate change, population growth, poverty, hunger, and chronic illnesses such as diabetes and cancer. What we need, is your energy and fresh perspective. We need you to have courage to take a radically different approach and to pursue a course that my generation is not able to perceive.
I know you can. You are already considering natural resources in your buying decisions. As consumers you prefer to deal with responsible companies. And you rather share and rent than buy and own, which is evident in the stellar success of companies such as Über and AirBnb. It is this attitude that is driving revolutionary business concepts like the circular economy.
The old economy – the one my generation inherited and took to its very limits – is linear. Products are used in one specific way, discarded and then replaced with an upgraded version. This is inefficient and creates an unsustainable stream of waste. In the circular economy – which I hope you will make the new standard – products are designed and built for multiple and endless (re)use.
Philips and other pioneering companies are embracing the circular economy. We are creating new business models that encourage consumers to pay for the use of the product or solution rather than permanent ownership. And we are changing how we design, produce, ship and service our products. For us, the circular economy is both a competitive necessity and a way to solve the problem of resource constraints. But it is also a major business opportunity that creates hundreds of thousands of jobs, many of which I hope will be taken up by you and other Millennials.
The world needs more revolutionary ideas like the circular economy and I call on you to generate them. You will be the entrepreneurs, politicians, educators, inventors and leaders who will turn ideas into action and lay the groundwork for generations to come.
So please, dare to be radical. And invest in your professional development, not just at the start of your career but continuously. Change careers, get entrepreneurial and go back to school when needed to match your ambitions to the changing demands of the market.
For those of you living in Europe, let us continue building on commonalities rather than differences and embrace the extraordinarily open trade and the benefits that the EU single market brings to our societies and the example it sets internationally. Across the world, we have to be open-minded and open up trade as much as possible for it to serve as a motor of innovation and prosperity. This prosperity, in turn, allows us to fund many of the great social programs in Europe and beyond. So let's remember that innovation and business success are essential for the world's progress. Together, we have to build on a strong industrial base to generate sustainable growth and quality jobs that your generation can benefit from.
My generation has contributed to the world as we know it today, but your generation will prepare it for the future. I am excited to see what you and your fellow millennials can achieve with your drive and creativity. I am confident it will bring us a step closer to a more hyper-connected and sustainable world.

Venue Details
Event Website
Slinging razor guitars, thundering drums and an anti-hero named Johnny. Not the prelude of typical entries in the canon of musical theater. But these elements herald a groundbreaking American musical all the same: with the burning passion of characters who yearn for something more, songs bursting with emotion and a story that dares you to feel and celebrate and hope.
The music of Green Day and the lyrics of lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong captured the zeitgeist of a generation with its Grammy® Award-winning multi-platinum album. American Idiot puts those raw emotions front and center in a highly theatrical and thoroughly satisfying rock opera that burns up the stage.
Monster hits like "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," "21 Guns," "Wake Me Up When September Ends," "Holiday" and the title track soar like they were written for the stage under the direction of Tony Award® winner Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening), choreography by Olivier Award winner Steven Hoggett (Black Watch_) and music supervision, orchestrations and arrangements by Pulitzer Prize winner Tom Kitt (_Next to Normal).

What we know is Frank can't play FB. I have never seen a guy wiff so badly on blocks in my life.Originally Posted by Mister Pittsburgh
I heard that we signed Redman again. Does anyone know how his blocking skills are? I bet with a man on man line approach and a FB, we get feared by the league.

Although I like Gerhardt, I see him being the next Tommy Vardell. Probably will be drafted too high, will be servicable, but his best years are already behind him. I hope he turns into a Alstott type guy, but I don't see it.
Speaking of Gerhart, it is tough to be a bad@$$ with a name like Toby.
He needs a nickname. When someone calls him Toby, he should defiantly say "Kunta Kinte" instead.

2015 MNF Executive Champion!
What is it with wanting to draft offensive players? We have already proven we cannot score enough to make up for our weak defense so why not go defense in the first 4 rounds?
Safety, DT, CB, LB....with rules favoring the WR the only equalizer is a strong and relentless pass rush. We are seeing the result in these playoff games. If the rush gets to the QB you have a better than even chance to win the game.
It won't happen...we will take value and we have holes on O.Originally Posted by NorthCoast

Auto enthusiasts appreciate the luxury built into each Infiniti, and understand that only the best replacement I35 parts will suffice when repairs are needed. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs in today's marketplace. Make no mistake, you bought your I35 because you understood you would be getting long-lasting quality and dependability both rolled up into one car, truck, or SUV. Anyone who drives a Infiniti knows that when it comes to maintaining their car, truck, or SUV only the most superior replacement parts will do.
Your vehicle has a water-cooled motor, and it needs a radiator to lower the temperature of that cooling liquid before it enters the engine and cools it off. The heat produced by the combustion process gets absorbed by the antifreeze, and that coolant has to enter your Infiniti I35 radiator at the upper hose from the engine and go all the way through it so that it can reduce its temperature. When it leaves the radiator and re-enters the engine, it can now absorb more heat. Your Infiniti I35 relies on this process happening on a continuous basis in order to maintain regular operations.
Bring your I35 back to life with the best new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you select the correct Infiniti I35 part for your needs. Given all the trouble that can be involved with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. If your car or truck was built in 2004, 2003, 2002, then you will find the correct Infiniti I35 Radiator parts right here.

Tip of the Day
Quickly search in the iTunes Store
The search field in the top-right corner of the iTunes window is a handy way to find content in your own library, but did you know that you can also quickly search the iTunes Store directly from this field? Simply enter your text in the search field and hold down the OPT key (Mac) or SHIFT key (Windows) when pressing RETURN and you'll be automatically taken to a results page in the iTunes Store. This can be particularly useful when you're trying to determine if you already have something in your library, as you can search for it locally first, and then use the OPT/SHIFT trick to continue your search in the iTunes Store. The best part is that this works regardless of whether you're using the newer Live Search feature or have opted to disable Live Search and use the older style iTunes search filtering.

I have tried to update the profile and URL and keep getting error code 6, I have no network connection..someone please help!?!
I have been getting Error code 600 from my SG3 everytime I try to text or call and none of my calls are going through and I contacted Sprint and they performed a hard reset of my phone. I had to make sure I backed up all of my photos and contact information and any text messages that were important, but once I did that they said I should be okay. We will see. I usually get the message when I am at work since I do not have any service for the past three weeks!!!! I only get great service when I get home since I have an Airave device ( a mini cell tower in my home).
Thanks for reaching out to us. We apologize for the delayed response. We wanted to follow up with you to see if you're still experiencing issues with receiving an error code 6 on your phone? Please let us know? If you are, we'll be happy to look into this for you.

I'm getting it on my replacement phone. Customer support said I needed to wait until the phone says 1r, then do a battery pull, wait 2 mins, and then boot phone back up. If I'm getting error code 600, will I ever see 1r?
Thank you for reaching out, I believe it's 1x and yes you will still be able to get it if your having error coded 6. Keep us posted on what happens next we are here to help.

This unique introduction to Zen teaching and practice takes the remarkably accessible form of question-and-answer—making it a most useful reference for looking things up. But whether you're a neophyte or a seasoned practitioner, you'll want to read the whole thing. The questioner (Susan Moon) and the answerer (Norman Fischer) are old friends, each with a unique gift for articulation, and their friendly conversation covers not only the basics but a range of issues unique to Zen in America in the twenty-first century, including:
- What is zazen and how do you do it?
- Where did Zen start and where did it come from?
- Will I have an enlightenment experience?
- What is the law of karma in a nutshell?
- What do Zen Buddhists say about rebirth?
- How do you recognize a good, solid Zen teacher?
News & Reviews
"'What is Zen?' is a perplexing question, one I'm frequently asked, and one I ask myself, again and again. Norman Fischer and Sue Moon's conversation is a wonderful, profound, affectionate, and immensely readable answer to this perplexing and ultimately unanswerable question. What Is Zen? is a book I know I'll return to again and again, whenever the question arises." —Ruth Ozeki, author of A Tale for the Time Being

If you're planning on taking in the Grouse Grind over the next few days, a word of warning.
There have been a number of cougar sightings on the popular trail.
North Shore Rescue team leader Mike Danks says a patrol member spotted a cougar on Tuesday.
"One of our patrollers did see a cougar around the 3/4 mark on the Grouse Grind mark, it was headed for the tram."
However he adds it's important to note the cougar did not show any signs of hostility.
"The behaviour of the cougar was not disconcerning whatsoever. It didn't pay any attention to the member, and I understand there were a couple sightings as well. But at this point we're recommending people travel with a partner for hiking safety."
Danks says the key is making a lot of noise and never turning your back if you happen to spot the cougar.
