Drug Users' Union in San Francisco Part of Growing Movement
March 23, 2012
Adapted from:
About five-dozen members attend regular biweekly meetings of the San Francisco Drug Users Union. SFDUU, which held its first gatherings in 2010, is based in the city's Tenderloin district. In the next few months, the group will present testimony to a city panel on housing discrimination; co-host the first US conference by and for drug users; and hold a design contest for a supervised injection site, where medical workers would provide users sterile injection equipment and harm-reduction tips, and guard against overdoses.
The city Hepatitis C Task Force in 2010 recommended piloting a supervised injection site. Mayor Ed Lee and city Public Health Director Barbara Garcia do not support it. The city does, however, fund an overdose prevention education group that provides antidotes and training to opiate users.
SFDUU neither discourages nor encourages drug use. Words like "addict" and "abuser" are avoided. Shaming and blaming are disallowed, and on-site drug use and dealing are prohibited. People can come in high, though being disruptive is not tolerated. Neither is injecting at meetings or workshops; but just in case, a sharps box is provided in a bathroom whose door latch is easily breakable in case of a health emergency.
The Harm Reduction Therapy Center holds the lease to the space and provides the group financial support. The room features no-nonsense pamphlets about drugs, disease, and overdose. This month, SFDUU expects to release a manual to help medical personnel offer better emergency care for drug users. San Francisco General Hospital, which already provides a wound-care clinic for injection drug users, also works with SFDUU to warn about bad drugs on the street.

Many thanks in advance,

It will be at least a few days before I'm ready to try the new aproach to my media centre but with a dedicated OS it might well solve my problem. I did try Mythbuntu but that just wasn't very pretty LOL

Challenger To Senator Orrin Hatch, Pete Ashdown, Also Against SOPA
from the make-it-a-campaign-issue dept
Congressional extensions on copyright have been repeatedly pushed by interested businesses to the point where the public interest is damaged. Copyright should protect artists and creators when they take action to request it. Instead, it is abused to the point that innovation is held back and very little falls into the public domain.While I don't know how recently it has been updated, it doesn't mention things like PIPA or SOPA. However, Ashdown has tweeted about the bills and it appears he's not a fan. Given that he actually used Hatch's ridiculous INDUCE Act (another bill that attempted to broadly expand copyright law) as a campaign issue in 2006, you have to imagine he'll use PIPA again this time around. While he lost last time around, in 2006, very few people were paying attention to these issues. This time around, as SOPA and PIPA are getting more attention, perhaps he'll get more attention.
The public has an interest in seeing works move into the public domain after a reasonable period has passed for commercial gain. Abandoned and orphaned works should default into the public domain instead of being locked up indefinitely.
Legislation like the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) strips the consumer of their rights to own and modify their purchased property. DMCA abuse has been leveraged against everything from real-estate listings to restricting competitors. If the DMCA had been present before this millennium, it is possible that Compaq would have never been able to reverse-engineer the IBM PC BIOS and jumpstart the personal computing revolution.
That said, as the same commenter noted, getting a Democrat elected in Utah is close to impossible. Still, Ashdown was able to get over 30% of the vote on a shoestring budget, while many of these issues weren't making news. At a time when these issues are making headlines, and outrage towards incumbents for being in the pockets of a few big businesses is at an all time high, could he actually mount a serious challenge?

ROCKFORD — Police are arresting far fewer Rockford School District students now than at any time in the past decade.
Administrators, teachers union leaders and police said it's a complete turnaround in a district that was averaging six arrests per school day just seven years ago.
Arrests peaked at 1,098 during the 2007-08 school year. Last school year, police made 379 arrests — 66 percent fewer than the peak.
Stability in central office and school administration since 2011 and a consistently applied disciplinary code seems to have made a difference, said Paul Goddard, vice-president of the teachers union and a former Auburn High School English teacher.
"What we hear from teachers is that the climate is better across the school district," Goddard said.
That comes in contrast to a March melee following an emotional East versus Jefferson high school basketball game. Cellphone videos of the embarrassing scene were shown on newscasts across the country and gave the district a black eye.
But officials say such incidents are outliers and there has been significant improvement this decade in both student behavior and in how the district responds to student misbehavior.
Arrests fell 40 percent — from 643 in the 2011-2012 school year to 383 in the 2012-2013 school year, and to 379 this past school year.
There has been no focus on reducing arrests, Deputy Superintendent Matt Vosberg said.
"Our schools are way better, way safer than anyone thinks they are," Vosberg said.
Vosberg said administration has focused on consistent discipline, engaging lesson plans for students, timely processing of student disciplinary referrals and a revamped use of in-school suspensions as learning time, he said.
The district is also requiring parents come into schools to meet with staff whenever there is a disciplinary problem, a step that in the past was not consistently enforced.
"Our philosophy is that there has to be consistently high expectations and then focusing on the smaller issues that will prevent bigger issues," Vosberg said. "All those little things prevent bigger things from happening."
Administrative approaches to student discipline are a big factor in the fluctuating number of student arrests, said Rockford Police Department Sgt. Mike Spelman, leader of the Rockford school resource officers.
At the request of school administrators, police were often arresting students for disorderly conduct — a "catch all" for student misbehavior that is "alarming or disturbing" — in 2007 and 2008, Spelman said.
"They were arresting the problem and not addressing the problem," Spelman said. "Those years were also rough with a lot of fights and a lot of batteries. There was a bad mix of behavior and weaker discipline."
In 2009, a new administration discouraged the referrals of students to police for arrests and introduced what was then a controversial matrix that provided guidance to schools on when students should be arrested.
That matrix remains a part of the student discipline code.
But Spelman said although the changes led to an immediate reduction in the number of arrests, and fewer crimes were reported to police, school safety didn't improve until schools began consistently enforcing the disciplinary code in 2011.
That change has allowed police to focus on more serious issues, Spelman said.
So what has led to the reduction in arrests?
"No. 1, the behavior of the students is the best I have ever seen in the seven years I have done this," Spelman said. "We don't have the incidents we used to have. Students are behaving better. Second, the discipline code has been applied appropriately and fairly."

Informative booklet notes by Alan Balfour.

The city of Memphis has been linked with the blues since W.C. Handy updated 'Boss' Crump's political campaign song of 1909 and published it as 'The Memphis Blues' in 1912. This was, of course, a formal composition but when 'race' recordings really took off in the 1920's a whole underworld of blues activity was discovered to be in existence in the city, centred on the 'black' thoroughfare of Beale Street.

Manchester United legend Roy Keane has turned down the chance to manager Turkish side Kasimpasa, according to the Irish Times.
The former-Ipswich and Sunderland manager was expected to sign a deal with the newly promoted side, and flew to Istanbul for talks with the club.
But it is thought the ex-Manchester United midfielder is reluctant to relocate his family to Turkey.
On Monday, Kasimpasa's vice president Hasan Hilmi Oksuz revealed the club had reached an agreement with the Irish international, and were looking forward to working with the 41-year-old.
But talks evidently did not go to plan. Keane has also been linked with the vacant Blackburn manager role following Steve Kean's resignation, and his rejection of Kasimpasa is likely to fuel rumours that he could be set to take over at Ewood Park.
But reports indicate there has been no word from Blackburn owners Venkys on whether Keane is on the shortlist for the job.
The former-Manchester United midfielder has been out of a job since being fired from Championship side Ipswich last year.
The ex-Old Trafford enforcer successfully guided Sunderland to promotion in 2007, and kept them in the division before resigning in December 2008. Keane won seven Premier League titles at Manchester United, many of them as captain, and is one of the club's most decorated players.

Customer Reviews - Michael Berry
2007 Brancaia Tre Toscana
Review Date: 11-04-2010
A wonderful Tuscan blend, strong black fruit presence but not sweet or overpowering, and balanced with a nice tannic finish. I've only got one bottle left and hope to pick up a few more as I anticipate this one will get better with a little more bottle aging, though its very good right now.
Price: $22.99
2007 Marchesi de' Frescobaldi "Tenuta Castiglioni" Tuscany
Review Date: 10-10-2010
Enjoyed this this with grilled lean pork after a long bike ride; an exceptional wine, dense, with many layers of dried red fruit, tannins, baking spices and just that acidity necessary to make for a refreshing drink after a day outdoors. Expertly blended. Should drink nicely--even better--for several years. Hoping to lay some more down for later if I can get it.
Price: $21.99
2008 Domaine Renaud St-Veran
Review Date: 07-16-2010
Rich and soft; with body and a blending of interesting but understated fruit and mineral flavors. A refreshingly acidic finish without bitterness. Buttery and subtle. Just a really nice glass of wine
Price: $14.99
2007 Domaine Robert Martin Mâcon-Villages
Review Date: 05-17-2010
Smooth and delicious; showing the best the Chardonnay grap has to offer without the bite which characterizes many lesser efforts. A big hit in our home.
Price: $13.99
2005 Verdignan, Haut-Médoc
Review Date: 05-01-2010
Took this on a overnight fishing trip with friends and thought several times through the day how terrific this would taste after the fish and I were cleaned and cooled down. I was disappointed when I opened the bottle. finding the wine to be musty and tannic. So I passed happy hour with a cold beer while I let the bottle breathe and the glass sit, hoping time and air would do something miraculous. Just before dinner I took a sip to discover this wine had smoothed out and was tasting very good. It continued improving through the evening. This is a terrific Bordeaux for the money; you will enjoy it very much if you have the patience to decant it for at least an hour or two before serving.
Price: $19.99
2008 Maritma Sangiovese "The 4 Old Guys"
Review Date: 04-23-2010
A gentle Tuscan red, easy to drink. A wine you'd get served in Italy as the house red where locals eat. Nothing complicated about it but has some subtle and interesting notes of fruit and soil. You'll like it.
Price: $7.99
Chardonnay, Plaisir des Princes
Review Date: 04-18-2010
Soft, crisp and very refreshing. It drinks way better than just about any Chardonnay selling for twice this price. I highly recommend it.
Price: $8.99
2008 Heartland Shiraz South Australia
Review Date: 03-20-2010
This would be a good buy at twice the cost; a real workhorse of the wine cellar, a go-to wine you can enjoy any day of the week, serve to guests with confidence alongside a wide range of fare, or pack on a picnic (it has a screw top). It starts out with plenty of fruit (blackberry, to my taste), but dosn't seem viscous and syrupy like some Shiraz can be. The mellow entry is complimented with some mineral accents and a refreshing amount of acidity, finishing with some understaed but present spices and tannins, all in very satisfying proportions. I recommend it highly.
Price: $12.99
2006 Santa Rita "Medalla Real" Cabernet Sauvignon Maipo Valley
Review Date: 02-14-2010
A big wine with lots of prune, chocolate and blackberry up front, followed by a mouthful of oak tannins. Next time I'll let it open a bit in the decanter before serving but I couldn't wait. Should age very well. Drank this one with dinner on Valentine's day, along-side a pan sauteed beef tenderloin rolled in cracked pepper, garlic and sea salt, topped with sherry mushrooms and heavy cream...terrific combination. Highly recommend.
Price: $14.99
2006 Campo Viejo Tempranillo Crianza Rioja
Review Date: 02-14-2010
I'm a hard grader so consider this a good score on a fine drinking wine that beats the socks off bottles costing twice as much and compares favorably with many costing more than that. A little low on acidity for my taste but strong finish of tannins and spice makes it very enjoyable. I recommend it.
Price: $6.99
2006 Monsanto Chianti Classico Riserva
Review Date: 02-12-2010
Terrific Chianti Classico for this price. Benefits from some air. Powerful tannins with strong presence of fruit. Highly recommend.
Price: $24.99
2007 Bodegas Numanthia-Termes "Termes" Toro
Review Date: 02-12-2010
A really good wine, with strong tannins and charcoal flavors, mild but present acidity. A great match for seasoned meats.
Price: $24.99
2007 Thorn-Clarke "Shotfire" Shiraz Barossa Valley South Australia
Review Date: 02-12-2010
A well balanced Shiraz with many interesting flavors; good value; highly recommend. Would pair well with broiled meat or a hearty stew.
Price: $18.99

Big Run not pursuing mandatory garbage pickup
BIG RUN — The members of Big Run Borough Council agreed at Monday's meeting not to pursue mandatory garbage pickup for borough residents.
"We have an ordinance in place; it's not necessary to pass another one for mandatory pickup," said John Niver, Big Run Council member.
Nick Lantz, council president, said most people in Big Run have garbage pickup.
Niver said it was not his intention to have burn barrels banned in the borough through an ordinance for mandatory garbage pickup.
"My hope was, if people are hauling their garbage to the curb because they are paying for it, they'd be less likely to burn so much, especially illegal items," Niver said, adding that nothing was ever said about banning burn barrels in Big Run.
Niver said it's up to the members of council if they want to pursue mandatory garbage pickup.
Lantz said he was against having an ordinance that mandates curbside garbage pickup.
Stan Derise, council member, said he agreed that it wasn't worth pursuing, and questioned how council would enforce such an ordinance.
"If burning does get totally out of hand and there are issues, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) will be called," Lantz said. "If people burn items in their burn barrels that create a foul odor and smoke, EPA will be called. I called them before, and I'll call them again."
Council agreed to not pursue mandatory garbage pick up.
In other business:
• Niver asked council if it would be interested in passing an ordinance regarding jake (engine) brakes on large trucks, due to the amount of noise they make when in use.
John Smeal, council member, said the only issue regarding engine brakes is that they are a safety device on those trucks.
"Now you're going to get into DOT (Department of Transportation)
regulations, because DOT requires those jake brakes to be operational," Smeal said, adding that drivers utilize the brakes whenever they have to back off of the throttle.
Derise said he has seen the signs posted in various communities that he travels to while driving a coal truck, not just Punxsutawney.
"If we post a sign prohibiting its use in the borough, that would be great, (but) how do you enforce it?" Derise said.
Niver said enforcement would be up to the state police.
Derise said he's all for restricting the use of engine brakes in the borough.
"It's a safety issue either way. If the truck drivers were following the speed limit, they wouldn't need to use them," he said.
Council members agreed to have Niver look into the possibility of an anti-engine brake sign or ordinance for the April 16 council meeting.
• Smeal asked for the water to be turned on at Veterans' Park in time for the BETA's Easter egg hunt to be held April 1 at the park.
Derise said he would get in touch with the water company in order to have it running in time for the Easter egg hunt.
• Smeal said he didn't believe that the new railing for the back steps to the War Memorial building was high enough, and he thinks it needs to be higher.
"I thought the railing was going to be six foot high and have fencing, so kids won't be swinging on it," Smeal said.
The other members of council did not believe fencing was necessary.
Niver said with council's permission, he would paint the rest of the railings at the War Memorial bright blue for better visibility.
• Smeal said he would talk to Marlin Rearick, borough maintenance man, about hydraulic fluid that was leaking out of the rear of the borough's dump truck.
Smeal said Rearick would remove the spreader from the back of the truck as soon as it appears there wouldn't be any more snow to plow.
• Smeal said council needs to replace the emergency lights and exit signs in the War Memorial for the safety of the public.
"I've obtained prices for the lights and signs over a year ago," Smeal said.
Lantz said for Smeal to obtain three quotes on prices for the lights and to check with electrician Wayne McKee about installing the new lights and for prices.
• Derise said he has three different people stopping by to look at the roof that is in need of replacement on the pavilion at Veterans' Park.
He said the old, galvanized roofing must be removed from the building before new roofing could be applied.
Derise said he removed two truckloads of junk and an old bench from the park recently.
He said there's an old tree with a large crack in it that needs to be removed from the park.
Derise said he needs a new contract signed so Wood's Landscaping can begin to mow the ball field at the park.
At the Feb. 20 meeting, council approved a new contract with Woods to mow the grass at the park for $100 on an as-needed basis, an increase of $10 from last year's rate.
Derise said Linda Miller from the Big Run Methodist Church said it wants to form a committee to become involved with community service and to help take care of the park.
• Larry Lambert, council member, said the food grinder was installed in the War Memorial kitchen.
Lambert said that Smeal was going to remove the basketball hoops in the War Memorial within the next few weeks.
Also Monday council:
• Approved a motion to purchase three cigarette butt receivers, to be placed outside of the War Memorial whenever there's a public event held at the facility.
• Approved a motion to purchase 250 feet of corrugated yellow pipe to place on the fence at the ball field at a cost of $118 at H&H Supply.
• Approved a motion to permit Niver to spend money to hire help for removing the grates on the storm drains so they be cleaned out.
• Approved a motion to spend $500 to purchase 25 new reflective stop signs through the Council of Governments (COG), which is purchasing 1,000 stop signs in bulk.
All stop signs must be reflective to abide by the new regulations that will be going into effect in the future.
Niver said the borough has been paying $55 per sign, and the COG is selling them for $23.99 per sign.
• Approved a motion for Niver to replace a storm drain on Route 119 with a new box drain at a cost not to exceed $3,000.
Lantz said the work can be done due to the savings of $1,250 in wages and $1,000 in materials for winter maintenance.
• Approved a motion to lower the rental fee for the War Memorial for the Siple Foundation to the lower non-profit fee of $100.
• Approved a motion to rescind Ordinance No. 144 to deactivate the borough police department.
• Approved a motion to have Lantz or Lambert check the War Memorial before and after activities to see if it's secure so the building cleaner will not have to do it, which will save the borough $1,800 per year.
The next Big Run Council meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. April 16 at the War Memorial.

Danbury Hospital technicians urge 'respect' for decision to unionize
Updated 9:53 pm, Tuesday, July 29, 2014
DANBURY -- Union officials are alleging that administrators with Danbury Hospital and the Western Connecticut Health Network have been actively trying to subvert efforts to organize more than 300 technical and clinical professionals who work at the facility.
Officials with the network, the largest employer in the city, argued however that claims made by the union and a recent complaint filed with the National Labor Relations Board are common tactics when trying to organize a new shop.
According to the complaint filed by the AFT Connecticut on July 24, union officials claim that the hospital violated federal labor laws by having a solicitation policy that restricts union activities and that administrators have threatened disciplinary action for workers engaging in union activities and interrogated employees.
The AFT Connecticut, which already represents nurses at both the Danbury and New Milford hospitals, is attempting to organize about 300 technical and clinical professionals such as technicians for radiology and mammography.
"These hard working caregivers deserve to be treated by their employer with respect," AFT Connecticut President Melodie Peters said in a statement Tuesday.
Peters called on the network's administrators to "stop their intimidation and harassment" of the employees and instead meet them at the bargaining table for the good of the community.
Phyllis Zappala, the network's senior vice president of human relations, said she was surprised by the complaint given the "cordial and fair" negotiations this spring with the union's nurses.
"We continue to embrace our organizational values including integrity, respect, teamwork, fiscal responsibility and excellence and will abide by the NLRB process," Zappala said.
State Rep. Robert Godfrey, a long time Democratic lawmaker representing Danbury, also took issue with how the hospital was handling the situation.
"They deserve better treatment," he said of the employees. "They deserve to hold accountable millionaire managers who resort to layoffs before cutting their own compensation. They deserve to make their own decisions about unionizing without coercion."
Last summer the network laid off 65 nurses and froze about 51 vacant positions in response to a more than $30 million cut in state funding.

For Connie Britton, 2011 was a banner year. She had sex with some being in a black rubber S&M suit and managed to give birth to the antichrist as Vivien Harmon in her one-season stint on FX's "American Horror Story." The sort of deeds that would lend support to the 45-year-old actress' understated assertion: "I like to throw people for a loop."
No kidding.
After five years of befriending a loyal following of viewers as Tami Taylor, the genial and supportive wife and mother on cult favorite "Friday Night Lights," Britton quickly transitioned from a weekly overdose of nurturing y'alls to ear-piercing screams on the cable drama, a role that earned her an Emmy nomination this year for lead actress in a miniseries. This fall sees the gears shift once more … to singing.
TIMELINE: Fall TV premieres and trailers
In ABC's "Nashville," Britton plays chart-topping country crooner Rayna, whose career is slumping just as her younger rival's is flourishing. Zoom out further and the picture of a complex family drama is painted against the country music scene, making use of original songs — think Fox's "Glee," which explores the plucky singers of glee clubs, and NBC's "Smash," which delves into the Broadway world.

In the Roman Abramovich era, Chelsea have often turned to their Russian oligarch owner to fund any high-profile signings.
However, with Financial Fair Play regulations just around the corner, and with Chelsea's impressive line-up of wonderkids in their academy, those days could be over.
This summer, Frank Lampard looks set to leave the club he has served so well over the last 12 years. Normally at this stage, Chelsea would be scouting for a replacement.
It may just be that this time, a youth product will replace a departing player. Nathaniel Chalobah is regarded as one of the most promising players in England.
Sky Sports' Peter Beagrie described him as "elegant, athletic with a great temperament", adding that Chalobah reminds him of a "young Yaya Toure."
Such high praise is not rare - he has also been praised in the past by his current manager at Watford, Chelsea hero Gianfranco Zola.
Chalobah could certainly do worse than Zola as a tutor and teacher in his early footballing days.
Although another year out playing regular football would also be highly beneficial for Chalobah, his performances at Watford have shown he is ready for Premier League football.
After Ryan Bertrand's rise to the Chelsea first-team this year, it would be another sign of Chelsea's new policy should Chalobah make the step up this summer.
Even if Lampard does stay and Chalobah remains away from the club on loan, the future certainly looks bright for Chelsea.

id Software unveils ?Rage? at Quakecon 07
by David Stellmack on05 August 2007
- font size decrease font size increase font size
First game on new id Tech 5 engine
Quakecon attendees received a big surprise during famed developer John Carmack's keynote address. The next game from id Software will be called "Rage." "Rage" will be the first game from id to use the new "Tech 5 engine" which Carmack previewed during the Mac WWDC in June.
"Rage" will be somewhat of a departure for id Software. The game will be a different from the typical FPS style games that id has become known for over the years; while it will feature some FPS elements it will also feature a focus on driving and racing, new elements for id.
The game is being described as an "adventure in a post-apocalyptic world" that was inspired by the classic action movie, "The Road Warrior," starring Mel Gibson. Creative Director Tim Willits says this game will feature about 60% FPS and 40% combat with adventure elements in a massive world. Carmack indicated that currently the uncompressed data for the game is over 80GB and he went on to estimate that the two largest levels in the game will fill 10,000 monitors. These worlds are possible thanks to Carmack's innovative megatexturing technology, a glimpse of which will first be unveiled in the upcoming "Enemy Territory Quake Wars."
Multiplayer is an area in which id has excelled and "Rage" will feature an interesting take on multiplayer - it will feature some co-op gameplay that will allow a player to run missions with another player. Due to the enormous size of the game, however, it is unlikely that a player will be able to play all of the single player missions in co-op mode. Instead, the co-op mode will be focused on special co-op missions.
The game also signals another change for id Software, as the game is being targeted at a teen and above audience, which means that they intend to tone down both the violence and graphic nature of the combat in order to receive a "T" (Teen) rating.
"Rage" is being developed for the PC, Mac, Xbox 360, and PS3. Another highlight of the Quakecon presentation was that Carmack showed the Tech 5 engine running on all four platforms simultaneously with no noticeable difference among them. Carmack said that while he would like to develop the game for the Nintendo Wii platform, the Tech 5 engine would not be able to run on that platform. This is a radical departure from past id Software titles that were exclusive to the PC platform and later ported to console systems. The focus on console systems is part of an id Software strategy to be platform agnostic and deliver content on a variety of platforms.
As for a possible release date, Carmack gave his usual typical answer, "when it's done." At least for right now letting the fans know about the new game and technology is enough. "Rage" presents many new challenges for id and it will be worth watching to see if they are able to develop a more mainstream title that is a departure from what they have been best known for. The Tech 5 technology does look impressive and the concept of "Rage" sounds good, but until the game is in some sort of playable form it will be hard to tell if id can deliver all of its lofty goals for this title.

News Release 13-049
NSF Team Measures Antiproton's Magnetic Charge 680 Times More Precisely Than in Past Efforts
Improvement could help uncover reasons for universe's imbalance between matter and antimatter
March 25, 2013
This material is available primarily for archival purposes. Telephone numbers or other contact information may be out of date; please see current contact information at media contacts.
A scientific collaboration that compares hydrogen atoms with their antimatter equivalents has successfully measured the magnetism of a single antiproton to a precision that is 680 times higher than has been possible with earlier methods.
The improvement, reported today in Physical Review Letters, could help scientists uncover why there's a tremendous imbalance between matter and antimatter in the universe.
"A puzzling question about our universe is why it is dominated by matter and there is hardly any antimatter," said Siu Au Lee, physics program director in the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences directorate, which funded the research. "One way to find out the reason is to probe possible differences between the properties of particles and antiparticles."
"Being able to measure the antiproton's magnetic charge nearly a thousand times more precisely would allow us to see much smaller differences between the size of the antiproton and proton than previously had been possible," added Gerald Gabrielse, the Leverett Professor of Physics at Harvard University, who led the research team.
To accomplish the task, the Antihydrogen trap research team, or ATRAP Collaboration, suspended a single antiproton within a Penning trap at the CERN particle physics laboratory just outside Geneva, Switzerland. The Penning trap used a magnet and a battery to hold the antiproton in a vacuum and sufficiently distant from any matter wall that would cause it to annihilate.
This enabled researchers to see clear evidence that the antiproton was changing the direction of its internal spin when the proton was forced to listen to a radio signal at just the right frequency. The oscillating signal caused the antiproton's internal spin to flip its direction back and forth and allowed researchers to determine the strength of the antiproton's magnetism.
The higher the radio frequency needed to cause the "spin flips," the stronger the antiproton's internal magnet.
The method allowed researchers to compare the strength of the antiproton's magnetism to a proton's magnetism. According to the Standard Model of particle physics--the most fundamental physics theory--the antiparticle (antiproton) and the particle (proton) should have exactly opposite magnets. They should be the same strength, but point in opposite directions with respect to the particle's spin.
In this case, that's precisely what the researchers found-- the antiproton and proton magnets were "exactly opposite" as predicted, even at the new level of precision.
"Precise comparisons of matter and antimatter particles are intriguing in part because the fundamental cause of the asymmetry between antimatter and matter in the universe has yet to be discovered," said Gabrielse. "How does a universe created from equal amounts of antimatter and matter generated in a big bang survive the cooling during which the antimatter and matter would collide and annihilate?"
This is a striking confirmation of one of the more precise predictions of our most fundamental theoretical model, said Gabrielse. "It would have been more fun and given more clues about the universe imbalance if we had observed that the two magnets had had different strengths."
The team believes that the addition of quantum methods will allow even more precise tests in the future.
Assisting Gabrielse with the research were NSF-supported Harvard graduate students Jack DiSciacca, Mason Marshall, Katherine Marable and Rita Kalra, along with postdocs S. Ettenauer and E. Tardiff. Important contributions came from York collaborators Eric Hessels, Cody Storry, Dan Fitzakerley, Matt George and Matt Weel. Jülich Research Center collaborators were Dieter Grzonka, Walter Oelert and Thomas Sefzick.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Yale lightweight crew team will begin its spring season Saturday Apr. 3, with a race against Navy for the Johnson Cup. The race will take place on Lake Carnegie in Princeton, N.J. This will mark the seventh year since the inception of the Johnson Cup series between Yale and Navy. Thus far, each team has won three times, with Yale winning the last two races consecutively.
As a team that always seems to put together a good crew, Navy is one of the Bulldogs' consistent foes and the two teams have developed a fierce rivalry. Last year, Navy bested the Elis in the EARC sprints, but the Bulldogs defeated Navy in the IRA Regatta. Both races are considered to be national championship races. Meanwhile at last year's Johnson Cup, Yale won four of the five races. The Bulldogs won the first, second and third varsity races, as well as the first freshman race. The Midshipmen won the second freshman race. In the first varsity race, Yale (6:08.1) narrowly edged out Navy (6:10.3) by just over two seconds.
On Saturday, races will begin at 3 pm, with the varsity race at 4:20 pm.

Discussion in 'General MMA discussion' started by imhungry4444, May 1, 2013.
Another one -_-
i'm no expert on marijuana, probably the complete opposite rather, but i am pretty sure you can get marijuana out of your system in 2-3 weeks..
if you can't quit marijuana for 2-3 weeks, you lack the discipline required to be an mma fighter, simple as that.
God damn stoners
It all depends on the frequency of use, and stuff like rapid weight loss can also affect metabolites staying in your system.
This is another thing that needs to be brought up in the possible rule changes discussion coming up.
Why do we punish pot smokers more than we do juicers?! Makes absolutely no sense!
Doesn't work out like that bro normally take 4-6 weeks depending on how much you spark up,
If your like Riddle maybe even more time, As your constantly smoking it
Maybe the most intelligent thing you have said on here bro
Since when are weed smokers punished more than steroid users? He got a 6 month ban, dating back to his fight, and rehab. That's barely a punishment.
lol funny
How is this funny or not right???...He's been given a 6 month suspension,fine, ok, but there's been some fighters that haven't been so lucky. Weed and PHDs shouldn't be in the same ball park,one your getting a strength advantage and the other you more at a disadvantage. I'm in agreement with the rules,even if it's for medical purposes you shouldn't be so stupid,just don't smoke it a few weeks out from a fight,but the same(or close) to the same punishment for re offending cheats ie Bonner, Leben etc should be punished way more than weed smokers.
re offending should always be punished more.......regardless of the subance. Only issue is different commissions so to get caught twice you have to be dumb enough to get caught in the same state twice.
aside from that a banned substance is a banned substance. It doesn't matter what people think when it comes to views on pot.
Lebens first positive test he got a 9 month ban & fined 1/3 of his purse. After his second positive test he was banned for a year, I'm not sure about any fine.
Compare that to someone like Matt Riddle who failed his first test in July and fought in November that year.
Good points from both. If it's in the rulebook then yes you should be punished, give him 6 months, fuk it!,give him 9-12 months even,it's in the rules so stop being dumb by not abiding by them,but if that's the case for weed smokers then for actual cheats that want to get an advantage(especially re offenders) they should be punished 4 times more than dope smokers,IMO.
going to rehab for weed is always the funniest part
Separate names with a comma.

The trend of installing metal roofs is on the rise these days and a large number of people are opting for. It is mainly because of the benefits it offers to the clients. In the earlier days, installing them was a costly affair but with passing time, the prices have dropped to quite a large extent. Some of the reasons, why most of the people prefer installing How to Price a New Metal Roof? Lovingston VA 22949 metal roofs are as follows:
• Durability: Metal roofs are quite durable and this is one of the main reasons why a large number of people are opting for it. These roofs won't break, rot, fall apart, break or burn easily and can last for even hundred years. In addition, A metal roof is also resistant to bugs; mold, mildew, and it cannot be damaged by rot. With Lovingston VA 22949 all of these available benefits, it is no wonder this type of roof is gaining popularity among the people all around.
• Environment friendly: This type of roof is created from about 98% of re-used material and steel material and because of this reason, they are considered quite environmentally friendly. Also, they are not harmful to the environment like the petroleum based asphalt roofing systems. An added advantage Commercial Roof Repair: How Durable Is Your Commercial Roofing ... Lovingston VA 22949 of this type of roofing material is that, the outer coating on these roofs prevents 75% to 80% of solar energy from being absorbed into it. It results in lowering the roof surface the temperature by 60 to 70 degrees.
• Light weight: In the comparison to other roofing materials, metal roofs are light in weight. This advantage makes it suitable for any various sizes of homes. You Lovingston VA 22949 will find the weight of metal as 50 to 150 pounds per square as compared to 750 to 900 pounds per square and 240 to 400 pounds of concrete tiles and asphalt shingles respectively. And the roofs are available in large sheets that can be chosen as per the choice of house owners.
• Versatile and strong: The materials from which the metal roofs are made of are Lovingston VA 22949 quite strong and have the ability to survive unfavorable climatic conditions such as fire and hail. In case, you stay in a place where there is heavy snowfall, these roofing systems are quite useful in protecting gutters and roofs from any kind of damage because of the heavy snowfall. One more benefit of installing them is that, they are lightweight, weighing just one-third as much as the Lovingston VA 22949 asphalt shingles, and about one-twentieth the weight of tile or clay.
• East to install: These roofing materials come with easy installation procedure and the skilled technicians don't have to spend too much of time while installing them. In the instances of the emergencies, metal roofing is considered as the best option because installing them does not take much amount of time.
You can see that there are many Lovingston VA 22949 advantages of metal roofing and a large number of people are installing them and gaining its benefits.

Piece Title
Striptease was the main staple of 20th century burlesque performances. During a striptease, a performer slowly removed their clothing, a piece at a time, while dancing. The emphasis of the performance was on the suggestion and anticipation (the "tease") of nudity, rather than on nudity itself. When the dancer removed it all (usually only down to enticing costume undergarments, rather than to actual nudity), the performance was over. After the advent of topless dancing in the 1960's, the stiptease developed into full-nude "exotic" dancing.

Rutgers pulls away from poor-shooting Miami women 42-34
- Associated Press
- December 17, 2012 - 7:31 AM
PISCATAWAY, N.J. - Monique Oliver scored 13 points and Rutgers held No. 21 Miami to its worst shooting performance of the season, beating the Hurricane's 42-34 Sunday in a nonconference game.
Oliver made 6 of 9 shots and Chelsey Lee grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds for the Scarlet Knights, who held Miami to 19.1 percent (9 of 47) from the field.
Rutgers (7-3) shot 27.3 percent (6 of 22) in the first half while Miami (7-2) hit just 4 of 22 shots during the frame as the Scarlet Knights entered intermission with a 16-15 advantage. It was the lowest first-half point total for both teams this season.
Rutgers scored the first six points of the second half to take a 22-15 lead, and would not lead by less than eight the rest of the way.
The Scarlet Knights have held their last four opponents to a combined 27.5 percent (55 of 200) shooting.

But although the flash launched, that wasn't enough to get the attack going.
And given how much it takes for me to do even that, I don't think NoScript users have much to be worried about.
I enabled the object in Firefox 3.0.1 with NoScript 1.7.8, Flash version is 9.0r124, and yes, it did set my clipboard.

Did you whitelist the domain for javascript as well, or just click on the flash?
Wonder if it was using 10.0.0 or if I was just lucky.
Apologies - indeed whitelisting the flash was all that was needed.
I had used the X paste buffer (middle click) first time around.
These days you have to go out of your way to avoid flash by learning about and installing less popular Web browsers like Firefox and installing extensions (Add-ons) like NoScript that you have to educate yourself about. These days even browsers like Firefox come pre-installed with crapware and bloatware like Microsoft DRM and Shockwave Flash. These things I have manually disabled.

This maybe is true, except if you want to do a real web application. Loading a whole HTML-page, just to change some state of an (non-form-element) interface element... That's insanity.
You've done the same that someone in a trauma does. You're created false associations. It's not the technology or even the virtual machine that's bad. It's the implementation.
Your argument is the same, as if someone who had only bad experiences with x86, while having good ones with his old 86000s, argues that "if an application requires x86, then that application is never again used."
The same is true for OSes. Someone could implement Windows XP in a proper manner, and make it a very safe system. (I did not say that someone would want, tough
Or in short:
Someone can crack a bad JavaScript VM and contaminate the rest of the system. And someone could crack a bad OS, and contaminate the rest of the system. There are even examples for this on virtualization VMs. (Heck, the system's clipboard is accessible to all 3 of them, on modern VMs!)
So my vote goes for Replacing the JavaScript VM with a hardened generic VM, with a fixed interface to the outside world, and adding JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Haskel, Ocaml and more as languages to it (via add-ons, or pre-compiled?)
Okay, I think one should remove at least one layer of abstraction/VM and harden the OS so that even OpenGL on JavaScript would not have a performance loss. (Yes, this would be useful. Eg. for quick dynamic data visualization or entertainment applications.)

Congrats. Now imagine that you don't know which window of a dozen well-known webpages has the malicious ad hidden in it.
This is yet one more reason why I block all ads.
I got a step further, and have a primary browser that doesn't have flash installed, and then a second browser with flash and flashblock, for the rare time when I actually want to watch a flash video.

Yes, you are completely wrong. My wife and I have discrete Firefox profiles on one computer, and often have 2 browser windows open, one on each profile. She has her own plugins, preferences, bookmarks, & history; and I have mine. Use the profile manager to create the profiles, add "-no-remote -p profilename" to a shortcut, and you're good to go.

This only happens sporadically, though, and I can always just Ctrl+C something else. I believe this is because Flashblock blocks ads as they are loaded, not before they load (not 100% sure about this).
Does anybody else have this issue?
as though we really need yet another reason to use flashblock...
I've checked the demo, and although the flash is blocked, it initially modifies my clipboard content. But I can use ctrl-c to replace it with something else. If the flash isn't blocked, ctrl-c is useless.
So flashblock kinda helps you, but you're still vulnerable.
it copied "http://www.evil.com/ to my clipboard. Any app I pasted into pasted that url. I tried many apps to copy something to the clipboard but it remained evil.
The article says in one place you have to restart, and in another you have to close your browser window. I found that closing safari was not sufficient, and I had to quit safari to successfully copy different data into my clipboard with other apps.
ditto. closing the tab in firefox 3.0.1 on Ubuntu 8.04 works for me.
Closing just the tab worked for me on these browsers on Mandriva:
Firefox 3.0.1 (from Mozilla's site)
Firefox 188.8.131.52 (from the repository).
Opera 9.50 (from Opera's site)
Too lazy right now to fire up Windows or Mac.
On my setups (Firefox 3.0.1 on Slackware & Tiger, Safari 3.1.2 on Tiger), closing the tab is sufficient to make it go away.
My setup is Firefox 220.127.116.11 running on 10.4.11 and I had to logout of my user account then log back in. Simply quiting Firefox didn't work.
Since Flash files are easily unptrotected and opened up, it would be interesting to see how this is happening. I'll bet that the flash file populates the clipboard several times a second as the flash frame advances. I'm interested how this flash movie stays in memory and keeps running. I seems like it attaches to something to keep its instance running.
In Windows I just had to put something else in the clipboard. Wrote some text, highlighted it, Ctrl+C, done.
Here on 10.5.4/Safari 3.1.2, closing the browser window/tab or simply navigating to another page fixes it.
Still, it's disturbing that a web site can copy data to the clipboard without permission. Browser makers need to make plugin content opt-in (a la flashblock), or at least run plugins in a very limited sandbox until the user requests otherwise.
How would you run plugins in a sandbox without running them in a VM? And then, what's the point of the plugin if it isn't native code? Plugins do exactly what they should. Blame the plugin authors for being so obnoxious and presumptive.

Using Firefox quiting wasn't enough, but logging out of the user then logging back in worked. That's
Good thing my laptop runs EWF drivers. Any changes made to the C volume (a solid state drive) made in memory instead. Everything works like you'd expect it to - delete a file and it's gone - until you reboot, that is, and all of your in-memory changes are discarded.
I'd like to see XP Antivirus Pro 2008 thoroughly embed its tendrils... and then survive a restart. No changes are committed unless I manually force it.
Considering that Circuit City will sell you a PC with 6 GB of RAM for $999, I wonder why EWF isn't a standard feature. Probably because somebody would forget that defragging your hard disk would exhaust available RAM and then die, or wonder where that program they just installed went after they rebooted...
Linux has a similar filesystem, I believe it's used for boot CDs. It pairs the read-only volume with a RAM drive, and all writes are cached there and discarded.
Normal people like to write to their hard disk.
a PC with 6GB of RAM for $999? Really? That's funny, I don't see a shop by [circuitcity.com] option for 6GB.
Try searching in desktops, laptop is not the only option in most stores
Ahh, good point. Thanks. There's even a $699 desktop there. No monitor of course.
"a PC with 6GB of RAM for $999? Really? That's funny"
That's not funny. Funny would involve the computer coming from a man walking into a bar after crossing the road on a chicken, or asking many of those 6gigs of RAM it would take to change a lightbulb. There's no chickens involved here, and definitely no light bulb. I deduce that you're using sarcasm, maybe to convey the idea that you don't believe you can get a computer out of 'em with 6gig RAM... am I right?
Good thing my laptop runs EWF drivers.
Earth, Wind and Fire? [google.com] So are you running the "Time is on Your Side" edition or maybe, "They Don't See [the disk writes]" version?
So, basically, writing to your hard drive is twice as hard as it is on a normal computer? And you call that a feature that should be installed by default?
Your original problem is that have programs installed that do stuff to your computer that you don't want. And your solution is an extra layer that those programs are not designed to penetrate. There are two problems with having such software installed by default:
a) it would be twice as hard to do stuff. I'm sure you realize this, and have already gotten used to it, and accept it.
b) if this software became popular, then any malicious, or just poorly behaved software that does stuff you don't want, such as write to the hard disk, will write to the hard disk as normal, and then penetrate your extra layer of obscurity to actually write to the hard disk. Programmers would be somewhat inconvenienced, and would have to use special libraries for writing to the hard disk, and users would be annoyed.
This EWF software you speak of is for a niche market, and would fail for everybody if it became popular. It's sort of how Linux doesn't have many viruses. Except Linux not having viruses is a side effect, and there are plenty of other reasons to use Linux if it became popular and malware authors decided to target it, whereas your software would fail if it became popular, and malware authors targetted it.
It's kind of like how the Windows outgoing firewall is useless. Every piece of malware knows to put themselves on that whitelist. Whereas if you use a software firewall that is not installed by default, then chances are good that the malware author didn't spend time on bypassing that one.
But I fail to see how you can leverage this to gain privs.
If that's possible, then maybe that should be the subject of the article.
But I fail to see how you can leverage this to gain privs.
I suppose it would be possible to populate the clipboard with corrupted contents, perhaps a string of XML that another app would try to consume. If that other app, designed strictly for desktop use, has a vulnerability in the way it processes said XML an attacker may be able to gain privileges. It's possible such an app will examine the clipboard contents just to determine if it should enable the Paste menu. Which means you could be vulnerable even though you never paste from the clipboard.
Considering there are websites out there that can own a Windows PC just by having someone visit a page with IE, I'd say this is a pretty good attack vector. You might not get many, but you'll get some who copy and paste a URL or accidentally paste it into an email instead of the string they meant and not notice until they've hit enter or clicked send.
Some P2P clients support a "pull links directly from clipboard" feature, where they watch the clipboard for any link with the format they use and automatically download what it's pointing to.
The danger in this - both the parsing, and the downloading - is obvious. I don't believe any clients run downloaded things by default, but it's still potentially quite nasty.
But I fail to see how you can leverage this to gain privs.
1. Every 100ms, put some evil UNIX commands on the clipboard, surrounded by line breaks. I'm sure you can come up with a one-liner that compromises a user's system.
2. Hope someone will paste into a Terminal window while your evil page is open.
I paste into Terminal windows all the time. For example, I might copy an error message and then grep another file for the message. If there's an evil web page open while I do that, the paste will own me.
I'll bet you can do it too in Shockwave with copyToClipboard. It is a little trickier though as copytoClipboard holds the reference to the Director member copied IIRC. Thinking about it, any web service that supports the clipboard should be able to do this.

Problem solved!
Seriously, blocking ads and javascript and flash stuff is like a game for me now, I get a little thrill of victory every time I block one of those things, it's great.
You have problems....
Surely - because with Adblock you block AFTER you have seen the Flash. So unless the Flash comes from an already blocked source (*.doubleclick.com?) it will already have done its evil magic.
Only if you block all Flash you did not specifically allow you are clear. NoScript should work, then.
And some of us have to develop in Flash (stupid designer - stupid clients) so NoScript is out of the question.
You realize you can white list your own sites in NoScript. I'm a developer who uses NoScript on my browser. I have no problems.
I get a little thrill of victory every time I block one of those things, it's great.
Who is pleased easily is pleased often.

Problem solved!
Seriously, blocking ads and javascript and flash stuff is like a game for me now, I get a little thrill of victory every time I block one of those things, it's great.
May I suggest a solution that's better, and doesn't leech?
Try NoScript - http://noscript.net/ [noscript.net]
I think that's an X11 anachronism you're dealing with there. No idea why it still exists in 2008.
FWIW, there's a Firefox bug that lets sites hijack your 'primary' clipboard (the one that middle mouse clicks paste). See bug 265868. So you're not safe just by avoiding Ctrl+V yet.
... on this old system with SuSE 9.1, FF 2.0.014, flash 7.
Hoorah for lazy upgrading
You fail Hanlon's razor. This is clearly incompetence.
Now we know why the iPhone has no copy/paste support. It's a security issue!
Its about time they start making software that runs on Linux too.
Most computer users don't even know that Windoze has a clipboard, let alone know how to press Ctrl-V to do something with it, nevermind getting some program to actually follow the link.
It looks like a big ball of nothing to me.
Okay so the flash ad just copies something to the clipboard in a loop. Closing the tab or browser stops this. I suppose if you are running your browser in the background this would be very annoying and you wouldn't know.
Today firefox and IE prompt if you want to use the clipboard from javascript, but it used to not be this way. I'm sure Adobe will patch this soon enough.
This is like old popups...and oversight that is being exploited by the annoying "internet bully". It's like getting a wet willing or you head stuffed in a toilet.
The issue is here that both Flash and the underlying operating system don't have any kind of cut and paste protection. X, Mac OS X, and XP/Vista should not allow a program to copy and paste the same dam string to the clipboard over and over. Really kind of annoying that we have to spend so many human hours fixing "problems" like this...but such is life I suppose.
FireFox, Adblock, NoScript, all latest versions, and the flipping thing didn't work. I'm not concerned.
So now it seems that Linux's nonintegrated multiple clipboards and their UIs (Ctrl-c, and select/middle-click) are a security feature, not a bug.
Once again we see the serious consequences of allowing a single company to serve a proprietary solution which opens up browsers and the platforms they run on to serious security flaws. This is ActiveX Part Deux, or perhaps Son of ActiveX.
To some extent I blame the guys writing the browsers. They're the ones letting plugins and extensions to have this much control over clipboards. The solution here is obvious, though Adobe may not like it, but at this point I think Adobe's concerns shouldn't even enter the equation.

And when the Vince Lombardi Trophy is hoisted by the winning team in Super Bowl XLVIII on Sunday night, it will not only mark the crowning of a World Champion, but also the realization of a dream that players and coaches through the NFL spend their careers working towards. To consider winning the trophy a special achievement would be an understatement – something that certainly isn't lost on Broncos Head Coach John Fox or Seahawks Head Coach Pete Carroll.
"I think it's a pinnacle for probably everybody that does what we do," Fox said.
"The trophy really does symbolize the ultimate challenge and competitiveness in our sport and in our world of coaching or playing," Carroll added. "To dream about being in this position as a kid and then working all through the years of coaching, battling and watching other guys do it and for the first time for us; it's a tremendous honor."
Of course, much of what makes the Vince Lombardi Trophy so special is the extraordinary difficulty of winning one – and enduring so much on the road along the way.
"Unlike different levels of football, there's only one happy camper at that end," Fox said. "That's going to be the team hoisting that trophy."
"It's a tremendous opportunity and it creates an extraordinary challenge to see if you can be the one," Carroll said. "It symbolizes a tremendous amount to all of us. We all live with that, our players and our coaches."
The trophy also in many regards represents the historical lineage that a team joins by winning the Super Bowl. Named after one of the greatest coaches in pro football history, the Vince Lombardi Trophy also signifies a team etching its place in the company of the other greatest teams in NFL history, among the most elite contingent of teams that have been crowned – and always will be known as – World Champions.
"(The trophy has a) great history and great memories," Fox said. "I think most of us, even out there, grew up and have a Super Bowl memory or moment, whether it was your team or an incredible play. It's been a big part of all of our lives."
The visuals are unforgettable – the confetti, the tears of joy and the unmistakable gleam of the sterling silver trophy being raised to the sky.
There have been 47 other teams in NFL history that have experienced that sensation.
Becoming the 48th and hoisting the trophy for the first time in the careers of either head coach?
"'Sweet' would be a good answer for me," Fox said.

No true Scotsman fallacy
The story goes something like this:
- "No Scotsman would ever put sugar on his porridge!"
- "But what about Angus McMutton? He puts sugar on HIS porridge."
- "Och! I meant no TRUE Scotsman would ever put sugar on his porridge."
The implication is that since Angus puts sugar on his porridge, Angus is not a true Scotsman by definition, even though he (presumably) comes from Scotland. This is playing fast and loose with the definition of "Scotsman".
In a similar fashion, many apologists try to prove that all Christians are good people by categorically denying that anyone who does a bad thing is a "true Christian". Unlike the word "Scotsman," there is no generally accepted definition of the word "Christian," so you can pretty much define it however you want. A very inclusive definition might be "Anyone who claims to follow the religion of Christianity." A very exclusive definition might be "Only those people who precisely practice the sect of Christianity that I agree with."
Obviously there is a lot of wiggle room between those two extremes. Since the Scotsman fallacy relies on ambiguity in the definition of the word Christian, it is a form of equivocation.

Mental Health Literacy among Family Caregivers of Schizophrenia Patients
The benefits of public knowledge towards physical health are widely accepted but the area of mental health literacy remains undervalued and relatively neglected. The study aimed to identify caregivers' mental health literacy in Malaysia. There were 154 family caregivers participated in the face-to-face semi-structured interview regarding their personal caring experiences. This study found that majority of the caregivers was women aged less than 60 years. Most of the caregivers have some understanding about their relatives' mental illness. More than half of the participants found that the doctors were considered as their primary source of information about mental health. Consistent with previous literature in Malaysia, most of the caregivers used religious and traditional coping mechanism in their help-seeking processes. Each ethnic group had their own strong cultural beliefs about mental illness. The implications for mental health services are that many of the caregivers need help to educate their family members about mental illness. While this study emphasized on the family members who should be targeted to improve mental health literacy it also become significant to the public to reduce stigma towards the person with mental illness and their family.

Compact Metal Detector
The Phantom-series Vertex fits in restricted spaces where other detectors can't. The in-line system is designed to integrate with vertical form/fill/seal machines for pouch-packing processes. It is typically situated beneath a multihead weigher in snack food and powder processing applications. It utilizes the latest digital signal processing technology to protect free-falling product at high speeds, detecting and rejecting the smallest metal contaminants, including pieces of wire, shavings, and swarf. Despite its slim stature, the unit achieves high sensitivity levels within a compact housing. It also incorporates the intelligence, functionality, and user-friendly operation of the Phantom digital technology via a mountable remote control box.
Fortress Technology Inc., 416-754-2898 Toronto, ON, Canada www.fortresstechnology.com
Vertical Spout
Powerful opposing magnets mounted to the outside of the housing draw tramp metal out of the product stream. A center diverter on the housing inlet helps direct product toward the magnets. A single trap face design eliminates the possibility of the captured tramp metal being washed back into the product stream. The magnets retract from the housing, taking the tramp metal out of the product flow area. A stripper plate stops as the magnets continue to retract, separating the magnets from the stripper plate. Tramp metal is safely discarded into collection trays.
Puritan Magnetics Inc., Oxford, MI 248-628-3808 www.puritanmagnetics.com
Compact Vertical-Fall Metal Detector
The MET30+ vertical-fall metal detector is 25% smaller than the standard systems previously available. It provides manufacturers with high levels of protection for incoming bulk raw materials in both granular and fine-powder form, even in severely restricted spaces. By incorporating a quick-release reject system, the amount of downtime and products rejected are reduced, while the quality of the material remains protected. The short height of the pneumatic reject system provides fast-acting removal of contaminated products, which increases efficiency and throughput rate.
Lock Inspection Systems, Fitchburg, MA 800-227-5539 www.lockinspection.com
Gravity-Flow Metal Detector
Designed for dry processing applications, the Gravity FlowSD metal detector can detect ferrous, nonferrous, and stainless-steel contaminants in high-volume free-flowing powders and granular products. Available as a free-standing unit with a reduced footprint or as a suspended unit, it has 4-, 6-, and 8-in. infeed and discharge pipes and a high-speed reject valve to divert contaminated products. Utilizing quick-release clamps, the reject diverter can be dismantled quickly without tools and swung open to allow thorough cleaning of both the throughput pipe and the reject mechanism, saving time. An intuitive user interface offers rapid operator training and ease of use for maximum uptime. Patented Zero Metal Free Zone technology minimizes the installation space required by the detector, enabling it to integrate easily into new or existing lines and saving costs.
Mettler-Toledo Safeline, Tampa, FL 800-447-4439 www.mt.com/safelineus
Tramp-Iron Grate-in Housings
TGH tramp-iron grate-in housings incorporate Erium ceramic, Rare Earth, or Xtreme Rare Earth magnet material to remove ferrous contaminants from free-flowing products as they cascade through rows of magnetic grates within a custom-manufactured housing. Standard grate housings are offered, but customized designs can be made to fit specific installation requirements. Typical TGH units include a stainless-steel rectangular housing that holds multiple rows of powerful 1-in.-diam tube magnets, which attract and hold fine ferrous contaminants as material flows around the magnets. A variety of optional features, including adapters, sanitary finishes, additional magnet rows, and more, are available to meet unique application needs.
Eriez, Erie, PA 888-300-3743 www.eriez.com
Continuous-Cleaning Drawer Magnet
The continuous-cleaning HF drawer magnet can be used in any gravity-flow application in which continuous product flow is required. It is ideal for any operation that runs 24/7 because it never needs to be stopped for cleaning. It cleans on the fly without disrupting product flow. The magnet keeps the operation going, saves labor costs, keeps product moving, provides magnetic protection during the entire process, and simplifies installation. Tailor-made units are available to fit specific requirements.

To the Editor:
Kudos to Don Kopsell, road commissioner of Nunda Township, for his many years of excellent service! It takes care and dedication to keep up with providing clean and safe roads, along with many other responsibilities.
An extra heartfelt thanks for the generous assistance given to the Orchard Heights residents during the flooding of the Fox River several years ago. Although devastating floods damaged many homes, Nunda Township did its best by providing sandbags and other support to truly make a difference to homeowners.
Let's keep Kopsell as road commissioner of Nunda Township and capitalize on his many years of experience. He's someone who has proven to be efficient, effective and dedicated to the good of our township.
His many years of experience are key to keeping Nunda Township roads safe.
Please remember to vote.

←Older revision | Newer revision→
Functions can be used in most objects which require a numerical parameter. A function can be a constant or a piece of C code taking coordinates (x,y,z), time t or any of the domain variables as arguments and returning a floating-point value.
The syntax in parameter files is as follows:
or a C function
{ double a = sin (x + y); double b = cos (x - z); double c = sin (M_PI*t); return a + b + c; }
or a C expression
or a GTS/CGD file
GTS files
The GTS file must be a planar (preferably Delaunay) triangulation of a set of points. The value of the function at a given (x,y) coordinate is then calculated by computing the z-coordinate of the intersection of a vertical line passing through the point at (x,y,0) with the triangulation defined by the GTS file.
Cartesian Grid Data (CGD) files
Cartesian Grid Data files can be specified as
Note that the extension must be
The CGD file contains data defined on a Cartesian grid and can be used with 1 to 4 space/time dimensions.
The first line of the file defines the structure of the grid for example :
3 x y t
3 is the number of dimensions,
y and
t define the structure of the data: 2 spatial dimensions and 1 temporal dimension.
Then the number of points for each dimension must be specified (e.g. in a 2x2x2 mesh, the number of points for each dimension is 2):
2 2 2
The following 3 lines contain the space-separated values defining the positions of each Cartesian grid line in each of the dimensions. Note that these coordinates need to be in increasing order.
The rest of the file contains the values at each grid point.
The value of the function at a given (x,y,t) coordinate is then calculated by tri-linear interpolation on the Cartesian grid.
Computing gradients
Gradients of variables can be computed using the
dy() and
dz() functions. For example, the z-component of the vorticity would be computed as:
(dx("V") - dy("U"))
More details on C functions
Comments should use the C syntax; i.e. opening
/* and closing
*/ not necessarily on the same line rather than the usual parameter file syntax of a line beginning with a
#. This is to allow the use of C preprocessor directives in C functions in GfsFunctions.
