Making carbon in stars
American Physical Society
Carbon forms at the interior of burning stars in what is called the triple-alpha process. Two alpha particles (helium nuclei) react to form beryllium-8, which in turn reacts with a third alpha particle to form an excited state of carbon-12 called the Hoyle state. Using the lattice Monte Carlo method, Evgeny Epelbaum and colleagues have taken a significant step toward understanding this nucleosynthesis and how different components of the nuclear forces evolve and determine the ground and exited states of helium-4, beryllium-8 and carbon-12.

A one-way acoustical mirror?
Discovery News via msnbc.com
Imagine a room where a band is playing. Neighbors can't hear the music, but if someone outside the room is talking, the musicians can hear it. The concept — a kind of one-way mirror for sound — has been mathematically proposed by Stefano Lepri and Giulio Casati in Physical Review Letters. To affect the one-way transmission of sound the researchers propose alternating layers of linear and strongly nonlinear materials asymmetrically. With the right formation, when a sound wave enters from one side, it will essentially get caught in the material and then be redirected.More
How much rain can a cloud hold?
OurAmazingPlanet via msnbc.com
Why do some clouds produce lots of rain, while others do not? By flying an aircraft into rain clouds, NASA scientists are on a mission to find out. The mission, called Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment, began April 22 and runs to June 6. Based in central Oklahoma, and part of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Climate Research Facility, the mission will use multiple monitoring modalities to study the convective and condensation processes in cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds.More
FY-12 DOE budget saves DUSEL from NSF funding cut
The Republic
In late 2010 the National Science Board, which oversees that National Science Foundation decided to eliminate its funding of the Deep Underground Science Laboratory. The decision exposed differences at NSF regarding how its program-based mission to advance science should apply to the construction of major science infrastructure — a task more often associated with other funding agencies such as the U.S. Department of Energy. DUSEL seemed to be doomed by NSF's decision, skyrocketing costs, the belt-tightening at the federal level and the fact that DOE had not previously programmed its budget to take over the responsibility of funding DUSEL. NSF subsequently has awarded $4 million to keep DUSEL running through 2011, and the Obama administration's fiscal year-2012 budget has funds in DOE accounts to keep the lab running through 2012. The challenge will be to get the budget approved and appropriations made before Oct. 1.More
How will we know when the Higgs particle has been detected?
The Guardian
Ian Sample explores how and why rumors that the so-called "God particle" have captured so much of the public's attention, and how physicists are actually much more careful than the viral media. He also points to the history of the Higgs boson and how it acquired the name "God particle," which itself was a surrender to media and marketing.More
Could the Higgs boson be a bound state of even more fundamental particles?
Texas Advanced Computing Center
The Higgs boson is a central component of the Standard Model. But, what if the Higgs boson is not a fundamental particle, but rather a bound state of new particles that have not yet been seen? Theoreticians have been exploring so-called technicolor theories where systems of particles of different "colors" are simulated to see if the resulting structure and dynamics comply with known experimental constraints.More
Particle physicist develops cancer imaging technique based on Cerenkov radiation
Discovery News
At the American Physical Society conference in Anaheim, Calif., Nicole Ackerman of Stanford University explained how she is collaborating with colleagues in Stanford's Small Imaging Core Facility to develop a new imaging technology using Cerenkov radiation — the faint blue glow commonly emitted from radioactive materials when they're immersed in water. The technique depends metabolic targeting of cancerous cells with Actinum 225-tagged glucose and monitoring the emitted radiation with a charge-coupled devices.More
DOE seeks advice on environmental improvements to fracking
Physics Today
U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu has appointed a committee to recommend environmental and safety improvements to hydraulic fracturing or "fracking," the controversial oil recovery method that involves pumping water and other compounds into the ground at high pressure to "squeeze" the oil and gas out of the shale. Large quantities of natural gas and oil in shale deposits have in the U.S. Midwest and Northeast and in the Karoo region of South Africa, which is also important for astronomy research. The seven-member panel consists of environmental, industry and state regulatory experts and is chaired by MIT chemist and former CIA director John Deutch.More
New theory aims to explain superconductivity in iron pnictides
Superconductivity in iron pnictides was first observed in 2008, and they were hailed as the new cuprates. Some iron pnictides are metals, while others are insulators. But though dissimilar in that way, both can become superconductive at roughly the same temperature. A complete theoretical understanding of superconductivity pnictides has remained elusive, but a team from Rice University and Los Alamos National Lab have suggested in a paper in Physics Review Letters that ordered vacancies enhance the tendency of the electrons to lock themselves some distance away from their neighbors in a pattern called Mott localization, which gives rise to an insulating state.More
Gravity Probe B comes to an end after confirming 2 Einstein theories
Stanford University
After 52 years of conceiving, testing and waiting, the Gravity Probe B project has come to close after confirming two predictions of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity. The first prediction is the geodetic effect, or the warping of space and time around a gravitational body. The second is frame-dragging, which is the amount a spinning object pulls space and time with it as it rotates. In addition to these profound results, the project led to several spin-off technologies, and provided employment and training for well over 500 students, teachers and professional scientists and engineers.More

Mojo is so funny. He chooses to sleep in the strangest places, like the hood of my coat and in the box that arrived yesterday with my boots in it. Yes, my boots are here and I will post pic later. They are so cool! One bad thing about them though. I am already a tall woman and the boots make me stand about 6′ tall, the heel is that high. LOL 🙂 But I love them and they will go with just about anything. I think they would look good with a gunny sack. Here are some pics of Mojo being Mojo.

Earl Thomas posted the picture to his Instagram account a few minutes ago before quickly deleting it. If the Seahawks or Schneider are ashamed of this picture, they shouldn't be. If you can't take your shirt off and slap a WWE championship belt around your waist after winning the Super Bowl, then what the hell is even the point of running an NFL team?

|Crockpot Chicken Goulash
– Dana Wildsmith, poet
For gardeners here in Zone 6, flower beds and vegetable plots cry out for early-spring attention.
In a good year, the fall clean-up got done before December's snow. If not, well, so be it, it and the spring work can be done together.
Soon there'll be no keeping up with the new grass, just as already it's impossible to keep up with gumballs that collect in thorny carpets along the edge of driveway.
It's too early to plant though thankfully, for gardeners whose fingers long for dirt, not too early to transplant perennials bursting sunward.
But hey, enough talk – the garden calls! But don't worry, supper'll be ready by dark: it's in the slowcooker.
Cooking time: 5 hours on medium heat
Serves 4
- 12 ounces mild salsa
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Juice of a lime
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, in four pieces
- 1 red pepper, chopped
- 1 pound frozen vegetables, thawed
- 1/2 cup elbow macaroni
Stir together the salsa, peanut butter, soy sauce and lime juice in a slowcooker. Tuck the chicken pieces into the salsa mixture, covering completely. Cook on medium heat for about 4 hours.
An hour before serving, add the pepper, vegetables and macaroni. Cook for another hour or until the vegetables and macaroni are cooked.
Serve and enjoy!

From unmanned boats and mine-seeking robots to solar-powered surfboards that autonomously hunt sharks, the sea will soon be crowded with robotic vessels. But how will they power up when they're running low on battery life? The Battelle Memorial Institute and its Bluefin Robotics may have an answer.
The institute recently set up a portable robotic docking and recharging station in the Fore River near Boston to test a docking station that allows robotic vessels to stop and recharge their batteries during missions at sea. The concept is similar to how traditional boats might stop and refuel their engines.
The station also allows the vessels, which mainly are being used for research or reconnaissance, to transmit data to researchers or anyone else using the robots, Bob Geoghegan, the Battelle institute's manager of ocean engineering, told us. Vehicles also use the station to download data to be used for future missions.
The docking station looks a cage-like frame that houses the docked vehicle. An acoustic transmitter provides a signal used to guide the vessel safely to the dock. Coils on the station transmit energy to vehicle batteries, and a WiFi network allows the data exchange between the vessels and the dock, Geoghegan said. The network also allows onshore operators to monitor the docking station and send data to the vessels.
The Battelle institute used the Bluefin 12 automated vessel to test the stations on numerous occasions in September. The torpedo-like Bluefin 12 is about 12 inches in diameter and can be used in shallow or mid-depth waters.
Now that the station has been tested, Geoghegan said, his institute plans to make some upgrades and is working with partners to find appropriate use cases.
One interested party may be the US Navy, which is using a number of unmanned vessels and has plans to expand that use. Docking stations would help the Navy keep vessels at sea for a long time without having to worry about battery power. The Battelle institute, which already has a relationship with the Navy, recently tested a dual-mode submarine called the Proteus, which it hopes will serve as a testbed for future Navy unmanned underwater vehicles. The vessel is a collaboration between The Columbia Group and Bluefin.

Better late than never.
Sorry for the delay in getting this post up. Like most of you I have been busy this summer. I just got back in town from West Virginia and had a wonderful time with my boyfriend's family. You should all be happy to hear that I got the best chocolate peanut butter dessert recipe from my boyfriend's mom and plan to make it as soon as I have company. For the time being this will have to hold you over. I saw this recipe quite some time ago on The Crepes of Wrath. You should go visit her site right now because it is fantastic and I love everything she posts. I had been wanting to make this for a while, but I kept forgetting to get white chocolate chips. I finally got around to getting the white chocolate chips and when I went to make these I did not have enough macadamia nuts. I did not want to wait any longer so I just substituted half of the macadamia nuts with walnuts and they turned out great. I definitely recommend you trying them and in case you are also out of macadamia nuts, walnuts work great!
White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Blondies
from The Crepes of Wrath
1/2 pound (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups white chocolate chips
1 cup macadamia nuts, toasted and roughly chopped
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Chop your macadamia nuts and place them on a baking sheet. Toast in a 350 degree F oven for 5-10 minutes, until golden and fragrant. Allow to cool before using. Cream the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until a smooth batter is formed (this should take 3-5 minutes). While the machine is running, add the eggs, the vanilla extract, and almond extract, until incorporated into the batter. Combine the flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Slowly add the flour mixture to the batter and mix on low speed just until a dough is formed. Either by hand or with a big spoon or spatula, fold the nuts and chips into the dough. Once the dough is all blended, line and/or grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with Pam. Spread the batter into the pan with a greased spatula or just use your hands to press the dough in and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until set and lightly golden. Allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting. Store in an air-tight container.

A Worcester man accused of drunken driving in a fatal crash last week got his driver's license back in July after a one-year revocation, driving records obtained by the Telegram & Gazette revealed.
Adam A. Bard, 28, of 48 Water St., who is facing charges in Central District Court stemming from a fatal crash Oct. 24 at Franklin and Grafton streets, also had his license indefinitely suspended on Oct. 25, a day after the crash.
Police petitioned the state Registry of Motor Vehicles for the indefinite suspension, saying Mr. Bard is an immediate threat to the community.
Driving records show Mr. Bard's license was suspended for 180 days in September 2002 after he was charged for what appears to be speeding and racing. Mr. Bard still had his junior operator's license at the time of that suspension.
In March 2003, Mr. Bard's license was reinstated after he paid fees. Records show that Mr. Bard had two speeding charges in 2002 as well. Those two came before the suspension.
Two days after Mr. Bard's license was reinstated in March 2003, he was cited again for speeding. His driving record shows the citation occurred in Blandford, Mass., where he was again cited for speeding in August 2008.
Mr. Bard's driving record shows he was charged in New York with driving impaired in March 2011.
The record does not show the type of impairment. His license was revoked in July 2011. Records show the revocation was for one year.
On July 23, Mr. Bard's license was reinstated.
Mr. Bard remains hospitalized and did not appear in court yesterday for his scheduled date to appear.
In search warrant affidavits filed to obtain blood and urine samples and medical records of Mr. Bard, police officers said they could smell alcohol on him after the crash.
Mr. Bard is facing charges in connection with the Oct. 24 crash, which took the life of Michael Despin, 48, of Worcester. The most serious of those charges is motor vehicle homicide under the influence of alcohol or .08 percent and negligent driving.
Worcester police Traffic Division investigators went to UMass Memorial Medical Center — University Campus after the crash to check on Mr. Bard's condition, according to a search warrant affidavit on file in Central District Court. Mr. Bard was in the hospital being treated for head and chest injuries after the crash.
Officers wrote in the search warrant affidavit that they stepped into "Adam's room and smelt a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from Mr. Bard's body."
Mr. Bard will remain held without bail until his case goes to court for a pretrial conference. His lawyer, Peter L. Ettenberg, waived Mr. Bard's arraignment last week.
Mr. Despin, a father who worked at Saint-Gobain, was killed late Oct. 24 when his pickup and a car driven by Mr. Bard collided at Franklin and Grafton streets. Police allege Mr. Bard was drunk when his Audi struck the pickup.
Mr. Despin was driving home from work and had dropped off a co-worker before the accident. Police arrived to find Mr. Bard's red Audi A3 resting against the corner of a building at 18 Grafton St. Mr. Despin's pickup had flipped over.
Before the crash, a security guard at Mr. Bard's apartment building on Water Street flagged down police and told them a resident had exited the elevator in the lobby and appeared to be drunk.
The security guard told police that Mr. Bard's speech was slurred and he was unsteady on his feet, the search warrant affidavit said.
"The male was escorted outside of the building and urinated on the sidewalk," police said in a news release last week. "The guard stayed with the male who stated that he was waiting for a friend to pick him up. At this time, the security guard believed that he was getting a ride and went back into the lobby to continue his duties. The guard later observed the male enter a red Audi and drive away swerving all over the road."
Officers looked for the Audi. About 15 minutes later police got a call from a concerned person near Kelley Square. The caller told police that a man got into an Audi and drove away with the driver's side door open. The car jumped a curb and struck a parking meter, then sped through a stop sign.
Two people tried to follow the car in another vehicle, but the car was going too fast, according to the search warrant affidavit.

New Egypt Cabinet sworn in ahead presidential vote – National
CAIRO – Egypt's new interim government was sworn in Saturday, a lightly reshuffled Cabinet with familiar faces that keeps powerful ministers in charge of the country's security and military services in place ahead of an anticipated presidential election.
The new Cabinet, Egypt's sixth government since its 2011 revolt against autocrat Hosni Mubarak, retains Field Marshal Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi as defence minister. Many believe the wildly popular el-Sissi, who led the July 3 overthrow of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, will run for president.
Story continues below
The change of government before the presidential vote appeared orchestrated to curb rising criticism of the outgoing military-backed Cabinet, which was accused of failing to stem widening labour strikes and continued protests. The new lineup by new interim Prime Minister Ibrahim Mehlib largely removed Cabinet members belonging to political parties formed after the 2011 revolt, replacing them with technocrats or businessmen.
The new Cabinet also would spare el-Sissi the disruption associated with forming a new government if he becomes president. Parliamentary elections are expected by the summer, after which a new government is likely to be formed.
Presidential spokesman Ihab Badawi said the priorities of the new Cabinet will be to prepare for the presidential and parliamentary elections, key milestones in the military-backed road map adopted after Morsi's ouster. The second priority, Badawi said, will be to deal with urgent needs of the public, including ensuring security and providing basic services in the face of worsening power shortages and widening labour strikes.
In state-televised footage from the presidential palace, a total of 31 ministers were sworn in, led by Mehlib, the outgoing housing minister. He is a construction magnate who also held a senior position in the now-dissolved party of Mubarak.
Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim, who oversees the country's police, also remains in place despite wide criticism of his performance in handling rising violence and for using heavy-handed tactics against dissent.
Mehlib's Cabinet keeps 20 ministers from former Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi's government and appoints 11 new ones. The new Cabinet includes three Christians and four women, but no Islamists.
Among the changes, new Justice Minister Nayer Othman replaced a veteran judge from the Mubarak era who has been accused of corruption. New Finance Minister Hani Kadry Demian is a senior ministry official who played a key role in Egypt's negotiations with the International Monetary Fund for a loan over the last years of turmoil. Demian resigned from his post during Morsi' tenure.
El-Beblawi issued a surprise resignation Monday. El-Sissi, the military chief, backed el-Beblawi's government through tumultuous times, including a heavy crackdown on Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood and a nationwide referendum that adopted a new constitution while Islamic militant insurgency and terror attacks surged.
Criticism quickly followed the new Cabinet being sworn in Saturday. Some saw it as a reproduction of the ineffective outgoing government. Others said the new Cabinet is a throwback to Mubarak-era governments, studded with technocrats and businessmen.
"We are heading to a new, old Cabinet par excellence" Khaled Dawoud, spokesman for the liberal Constitution Party, wrote in the daily newspaper Tahrir, blaming the failure of the outgoing government for focusing only security issues.
Ahmed Fawzi, a leading member of the Egyptian Social Democratic Party, from which el-Beblawi and his deputy hailed, said the reshuffle removed the politicians who supported the 2011 revolt.
Fawzi said the media has pushed the idea that political parties are not efficient at being part of the government, paving the way for the return of an all-powerful president and relegating political parties to mere spectators in Egypt's politics.
"This will ultimately lead to the death of politics," Fawzi said.
Meanwhile Saturday, police detained Morsi's youngest son on suspicion of drug possession, the country's official news agency reported, an accusation the family said was fabricated to "smear (their) image."
The MENA news agency said Abdullah Morsi, a 20-year old university freshman, was arrested after a police patrol found a suspicious car parked on the side of the road in el-Obour city, east of Cairo. Officers found two rolled hashish cigarettes in the car, the agency said. MENA said Abdullah Morsi would be held overnight as he refused to take a drug test.

Over the last several hundred years, France has been the most influential country in the wine world. France is the source of more well-known grape varieties (such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah) and winemaking practices than any other country. The names of many French wine regions such as Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne are well-known throughout the world, and the style of top French wines have long been the benchmark for winemaking in most wine-producing countries of the world.
French law divides wine into 3 categories: VDF (Vin De France) carries with it only the producer and the designation that it is from France. IGP (Indication Géographique Protégée) carries with it a specific region within France (for example IGP Languedoc). AOC (Appellation d'Origine Controlee) Wine from a particular area with many other restrictions, including grape varieties & winemaking methods.
Burgundy or Bourgogne in eastern France is a region where red and white wines are equally important. Probably more Terroir-conscious than any other region, Burgundy is divided into the largest number of appellations of any French region. The best Burgundies, both red and white, are often described as elegant wines, and the top wines from Burgundy's heartland in Côte d'Or command some of the highest prices of any wines in the world. Two parts of Burgundy are sometimes considered as separate regions are, but still belong to the Burgundy Family:
- Beaujolais in the south, close to the Rhône valley region, where almost only red wines are made, in a fruity style that is usually consumed young.
- Chablis halfway between Côte d'Or and Paris, where white wines are produced on chalky soil giving a more crisp and steely style than the rest of Burgundy.

The cables allowing hiker access to the summit of Yosemite National Park's Half Dome are set to be in place this week.
With a snowpack that is twice normal, many of Yosemite's roads and attractions have been opening later than usual this year.
Park officials still are warning hikers who secured permits that changing weather conditions can create dangers along the 17-mile trail.
Two seasons ago, park officials began requiring hikers to get permits on the popular trail to increase safety. Park workers place metal cables and wooden planks along the shoulder of the dome to help steady hikers as they approach the summit.
Visitors hiking the trail to the base of Half Dome don't need a permit.
Permit reservations can be made three months in advance at www.recreation.gov.

Pirates Charities partnered with the Boys & Girls Club of Western Pennsylvania, the Baseball Tomorrow Fund and the Roberto Clemente Foundation to reenergize a community facility that was previously unusable for more than five years.
The complex has been transformed from a dilapidated indoor swimming pool into a state-of-the-art, year-round youth baseball and softball training facility.
The indoor complex, which has been renamed the Pirates Community Baseball Center, now features enclosed batting cages, automatic pitching machines, two multi-media training rooms, storage facilities, baseball and softball equipment and more.
The Pirates Community Baseball Center has made a widespread positive impact on youth throughout the region by giving them a place to focus on productive activities and positive interaction with their peers and coaches.

- Pirates Charities - $165,000
- The Roberto Clemente Foundation - $75,000
- The Baseball Tomorrow Fund, a joint initiative between Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association - $60,000

I recently downloaded GoToMeeting . I am thinking of using it to help me learn computers faster. I recently went back to school and am frustrated with my own ability to learn at times.
I don't mind studying a lot (I study all the time actually). But I hate wasting time. Sometimes I have a bug in my program that is so simple but wastes a couple hours or more; that to me is wasting time if someone can give me a quick hint. I also struggle in math and could use a few hints now and then.
I don't ask people to do my work, but I'm not to proud to ask for hints after about half an hour of getting nowhere. I also see an abundance of online people looking for work.
GoToMeeting is going to work very well I think for this task. However, having a tutor drop in for a handwritten math question is another problem. I thought about setting up a webcam that points downward onto my desk surface where I write. Does anyone know of a hardware solution for handwritten work that can be easily viewed online? Any hardware/software solutions regarding online tutoring help would be appreciated too.

How a tire is stored has a great impact upon the lifespan and future performance.
Tire Storage
Improper storage methods can have a negative effect on the tire's outer appearance and performance. It is imperative to learn and practice proper storage methods.
Tire Storage Methods and Points to Consider
Before putting the tire in storage, check for signs of abrasion and/or damage and store according to the following directions.
If Storing with the Wheel
If Storing Without the Wheel
- Before removing the tire from the car, mark where the tire was attached.
This lengthens tire life by rotating the front and back tires when you use the tires again the following year.
- Wash the wheel and tire thoroughly with water. Once cleaning is finished, dry them to prevent decay.
- Remove dust and rocks from inside the tires grooves.
- If the tires are assembled with rims, stack them for storing. If the tires are not assembled with rims, stand them up when storing.
- Store tires in a cool place that avoids direct sunlight. Do not store tires in close proximity/next to fuel, oil, or other chemical substances.

Kristjan Wager has a good post on the Deep Rifts. He'd rather have the rifts than no rifts at the price of entrenched sexism.
So, to sum it up, there are deep rifts in the movement, and I think it is fine. Not only that, I feel more comfortable being in a smaller community within the movement, which doesn't include people whose opinions and behavior I find repugnant. I can still appreciate the good work done by those people (like I did with e.g. Hitchens) without wanting to be part of the same community.
Fewer but better Russians. (I kid, I kid.)
Massimo Pigliucci also has a good post, although he does do the "both sides" thing, which given what a big chunk of the other side is like, really isn't as reasonable as it might sound to a novice.
Oh wait, no he doesn't, or at least he clarifies in a comment that that's not what he meant. I'll leave the above paragraph because there are people who think that is what he meant, so this will perhaps help.
Here's his clarification:
there may be a misunderstanding here about what my call for moderation concerns. Of course there is no moderate position to be held about sexism (or racism, for that matter): it's bad, period.
But there is moderation to be called for in how we talk and act about it. The example in question here, discussed by Russell Blackford in the post I linked to above, is AA's overly reaching "no-hugs" policy, which – it can be argued – doesn't really address the actual issue and potentially undermines a sense of community by attempting to over-regulate normal human interactions.
Sure. Specifics can be discussed, calmly and reasonably. (I've been staying out of those discussions, because honestly I don't know enough about the subject to have a useful opinion. I was invited to participate in the conference call with American Atheists to discuss their policy, but I wasn't available at the right time – which is just as well.) Specifics can be discussed, calmly and reasonably – which includes not calling people Talibanesque or Femistasi.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The answer to the trivia question will be: "Monkey Drums (Goskel Vancin Remix) by Chase Buch." That's the 25 billionth song purchased on iTunes.
Apple announced the sales milestone in a news release Wednesday. The company says Phillip Lupke of Germany purchased and downloaded Buch's song and will receive an iTunes gift card worth 10,000 euros, or about $13, 500.
It took the Cupertino, Calif., company 12 years to reach the milestone. Customers download an average of 15,000 songs a minute on iTunes, which was launched in January 2001. The digital retailer's catalog is 26 million songs deep.

On October 22nd hair experts sharpened their shears for the Battle of the Strands competition, which took place at The Joint, Hard Rock Hotel Casino in Las Vegas. The highly anticipated competition followed a three-day Vegas Beauty Unbound Event for contenders and attendees that showcased creativity and exquisite craftsmanship with hair.
Leading up to the battle, talented salons from all across the country participated in challenges to secure a spot in the finals. Four respected industry judges, Kandee Johnson, Celebrity Makeup Artist and YouTube Personality, Rafe Hardy, Artistic Creative Director of Sexy Hair, Lori Montoya, a Las Vegas High Roller Star and Fashion Designer, Nick Verreos, judged contenders.
After a few days of competing, 12 salons gathered at the Unveiling Party at the Hard Rock Hotel Casino, Las Vegas Vanity Night Club, co-hosted by Celebrity Hair Stylist Kim Vō. Excitement burst through the air as salon names were revealed to the contenders. Only 5 salons were chosen to compete at Battle of the Strands and provided the final theme for the competition…GOLD.
Celebrity guests and industry professionals walked the red carpet into the Battle of the Strands competition. Inside guests sipped chilled cocktails while DJ Nick Ayler entertained the anxious crowd. The show commenced with an extraordinary performance by The Los Angeles Samba Dancers that specialize in a Brazilian Style Carnival Dance. Host Kim Vō and Dayna Roselli emerged through elaborate costumes to acknowledge the cheering crowd.
Shortly after, models individually strutted onto the stage to showcase their hair, makeup, costume and props. The five competing salons were: Mile High Magic, Clark Russell Salon, Fringes, Glam Alliance and Body Spa West. The contending salons took the gold theme into their creative hands and portrayed it in an innovative fashion. Jaw dropping designs were critiqued by the panel of judges that appeared impressed by the competition.
Each competitor exemplified their creative talents throughout the challenges and their hard work was recognized with additional awards including Best in Color with Schwarzkopf Professional, Best Hair Design with Sexy Hair, Best Mastery in Makeup with Bhumi Brushes and People's Choice Award. The Body Spa took home the award for Best in Color with Schwarzkopf Professional and Glam Alliance was awarded Best Hair Design with Sexy Hair for their towering take on this year's theme. Best Mastery in Makeup with Bhumi brushes went to Fringes salon for their colorful rendition and flawless finish. Thousands of fans voted online during the completion to crown Fringes salon with the People's Choice award.
However, the most memorable moment was when a statuesque model in golden swimwear appeared onto the stage with two male subordinates at her side. The warrior Goddess instantly captivated the crowd before standing profile to reveal an unbelievably constructed blonde Mohawk. Her astounding mane was curly yet coarse, with beautiful braids intertwined that fell below her hips. The warrior Goddess rendered the judges speechless.
The creators of warrior Goddess was Glam Alliance who was named the winner of Battle of the Strands and given the Xtreme Salon 2012 title. "This is such a great honor to be named Xtreme Salon 2012," said Andrew, Glam Alliance team member. "It was amazing to work with such talented teams and their creativity. The whole Battle of the Strands experience has inspired me to try new styles and continue embracing our creativity."
Without a doubt, Battle of the Strands was an extravaganza that brought out and showcased incredibly talented salons. All made possible by fantastic event sponsors, which include: Schwarzkopf Professional, Sexy Hair, FROMM, Redken, Izunami, Rain Cosmetics, Rhumbar, Hot Iron Holster, Let's Talk About Your Hair, ADK Hair Extensions, Televisa Publishing+Digital, Bhumi Makeup Brushes, Audi Henderson, Lamborghini Las Vegas, LookTV, m3K Beauty LLC, Reed's Inc., SmartMune, V2Cigs, femMed, Anand Bhatt and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA).

zh-CN:ArchWiki:Contributing ArchWiki strives to be a clear, comprehensive and professional model of documentation. In order to reach that goal we have to organize the job in a rational and functional way: this article tries to explain schematically what are the most important tasks you can give your help to accomplish.
This is a community effort, but if you take on the task seriously, a formal position as a wiki maintainer may be in order.
Here is a list of pages contain information needed for contributing.
- Help:Article naming guidelines discusses effective article naming strategies and considerations to ensure readability and improve navigation of the wiki. Read it before creating any new page.
- Help:Editing outlines both widely-known MediaWiki markup and ArchWiki-specific guidelines. A must-read for any would-be contributors.
- Help:Discussion guide you how to discuss with people in the talk page.
- Help:Style gives guidelines for the standardization of style in ArchWiki articles.
- Help:Category explain how to set page category, how to create missing categories pages and how to move a page to a different category.
- ArchWiki Translation Team has a step by step introduction for creating a new translation page. Follow it to translate pages to your own language.
- Help:i18n serves as a comprehensive guideline for ArchWiki internationalization and localization.
See the help category for all help articles.
Easy to start jobs
Here are some easy jobs you can start with before moving to more difficult ones.
Fix double redirects
- Read this section to understand what redirects are.
- Check out Special:DoubleRedirects to see if there are any.
- For example, if you see
Pastebin Clients (Edit) → Common Applications → List of applications, it means Pastebin Clients redirects to Common Applications, and Common Applications redirects to List of applications. Therefore, Pastebin Clients is a double redirect.
- To fix it, edit Pastebin Clients and change
#REDIRECT [[Common Applications]]to
#REDIRECT [[List of applications]]to skip the middleman.
- Enter an edit summary such as
Fixed double redirectand save.
Ensure you understand the philosophy of ArchWiki and think about what others may want to read (see ArchWiki:Requests for ideas). As mentioned, the wiki's scope is quite wide.
Talk to the admins for help coordinating major projects.
Content editing, proofreading, and updating are never-ending tasks on any wiki. If you want to help, just register an account and start performing your magic.
- Help fulfilling requests.
- Add content to stubs and expand incomplete or poorly-written articles.
- Correct inaccurate or outdated content, spelling, grammar, language, and style.
- Update the FAQ with relevant questions from the forum and remove obsolete questions.
- Help patrolling the Recent Changes, reporting and fixing questionable edits.
- Flag articles with appropriate article status templates, like
{{Out of date}},
{{Accuracy}}, etc.
- Add some articles to your watchlist and protect them against counter-productive edits.
- Participate in discussions in the various talk pages: most users will be interested in following the most recent posts to generic discussions at this link. Maintenance-specific posts are instead listed in [1], [2], [3] and [4]; furthermore, ArchWiki:Requests is used as a talk page despite its namespace.
Sorting, categorizing, and moving articles around has become a major task for all wiki maintainers implementing and improving the category tree.
- Reduce and combine duplicate pages.
- Improve wiki navigation.
- Categorize uncategorized pages, uncategorized categories and wanted categories. See Help:Style#Categories and Help:Style#Category pages.
- Fix broken and double redirects.
- See Special:SpecialPages for other useful cleanup tools.
Add or improve translations; ensure that translations are in sync with each other. Some languages have started collaboration projects (see list below) to efficiently organize the translation of the articles. Please consider joining your language's Translation Team or at least informing it when you are starting translating an article.

Russian tycoon buys Warner Music
Len Blavatnik shells out $3.3bn for the music group
Warner Music has been sold to US businessman Len Blavatnik, according to credible reports, in a $3.3bn deal. The company's $1.9bn debt is also transferred to its new owner, valuing Warner at $1.3bn.
Blavatnik's Access Industries paid 34 per cent over the market price for the music group. The Russian-born tycoon, who also owns Top Up TV, is said to be looking to acquire EMI – which would give him the third and fourth largest major labels.
It's a minor surprise, given that rivals Universal and Sony were thought to have a head start in the auction for Warner. EMI had a short and unhappy period in the hands of an equity investor for years. Warner had tried hard to buy EMI before Terra Firma acquired it in 2007.
Having made his fortune in property and the former Russian nationalised industries, Blavatnik has faith that content companies are where future growth will be; he tried to buy MGM Studios last year. This is not a fashionable view. But smaller operators, without the bureaucracy and overheads of large companies, have prospered.
Blavatnik's family emigrated to the US in 1978, and he now lives in London and New York. ®

Personalized license plates are a great way of letting complete strangers know personal information about yourself.
Love pugs? Enjoy David Bowie? Got a great nickname? Like barely legal girls? Just put it on a license plate!
Or, if you love social media, you can get a license plate that says "RETWEET." That's what one person attending CES in Las Vegas this week did.
I guess the ultimate irony is that I saw this plate thanks to our own Zac Estrada retweeting Adweek's Charlie Warzel. That might be the definition of meta.
(Hat Tip to @ZacEstrada!)

LUNENBURG — The Board of Selectmen must decide if they wish to call a special Town Meeting in March to ask voters whether they could support purchasing a piece of property in town to help preserve the nature of the property.
The piece of property, located off Howard Street, is more than 100 acres, and the town has the option to purchase the property before it is sold to a developer or another interested party.
Selectmen previously decided not to purchase the property, but after the purchase price was reduced, they were asked to reconsider their position. If it was decided the property should be purchased, a Town Meeting and subsequent town election would be held for a debt exclusion to purchase the property.
Selectmen Chair Dave Matthews said that typically the board would decide during a regularly scheduled meeting whether they wanted to pursue something like this, but because of the price reduction, they wouldn't be doing their due diligence if they didn't re-evaluate.
"It had been recommended we not pursue it but since the selling price has changed, we have an obligation to look at it," he said. If bought, the land would be conserved as conservation.
Town Manager Kerry Speidel said that it's not the acquisition of the property that needs Town Meeting approval, but the funding mechanism because it would be proposed to purchase it by temporarily raising taxes through a debt exclusion.
The meeting cannot wait until the annual Town Meeting in May, she said, because the town only has 120 days to decide whether to move forward with the acquisition, and that deadline is in March.
"We don't have the funds appropriated for this, so it would have to be a debt exclusion," she said.
In this particular situation, she said, the Planning Board and Conservation Commission have been asked to weight in on the matter, and while Speidel said she hasn't received formal notification from the Planning Board, it is her understanding that the members will recommend the town pursue a Town Meeting.
Speidel has yet to make a recommendation on the proposal.
"The board hasn't asked for a recommendation from me, and I wasn't thinking about giving one," she said Friday afternoon.
The board will discuss the Town Meeting at its meeting Tuesday.

UMBC edges Albany to grab conference win
Retrievers improve to 5-7 in conference play
Quentin Jones scored 16 points, including the game-winning tip shot in the final two seconds, to give University of Maryland Baltimore County a 71-69 victory over Albany (NY) on Wednesday night.
UMBC trailed until midway through the first half then went 26-12 with the help of a pair of Jones 3-pointers to lead 37-27 at the break.
Albany started the second period by going 22-9 to lead by three, 49-46, with 11:44 to play. With the game tied 69-69 and two seconds remaining, Jones tipped in a missed Rodney Elliott layup to give UMBC the win.
Elliott added 16 points with four assists and seven rebounds for the Retrievers (9-16, 5-7 America East Conference). David Kadiri came off the bench to score 13 and Will Darley had eight.

Kiosks: Ur Doin It Rong
Learning from others mistakes may smack of schadenfreude, but honestly, if a horrible mistake must be made to learn a lesson, isn't it best for someone else to make the mistake, and you to learn the lesson?
In this spirit of pointing out the bad along with the good, I'll share this shot of a registry kiosk I saw at Macy's this week: (apologies for camphone resolution)
You've probably seen this type of thing yourself - an instance of a desktop application, Windows, being shoved into an embedded, hands-off context, and failing. In this case, Windows wants to let the user know that either a driver failed to load or a service failed to start.
The moral of the story here should be obvious. A desktop operating system like Windows counts on having user interaction to deal with unexpected events. But this doesn't work in a kiosk, an ATM, or an air traffic control system. For those systems you need an emedded O/S that can be managed remotely and knows how to handle this type of error with a bit more aplomb.
Of course, one other thing we have to consider is that Macy's just might not care too much. Being able to deploy this kiosk using Windows may have saved them a bundle of development costs. And if this is at the expense of requiring an occasional reboot, that might just be acceptable.
Don't let this happen to you. Know the O/S.

The Royal Opera's Nabucco starring Plácido Domingo and Liudmyla Monastryska will be broadcast by BBC Radio 3 on Saturday 8 June at 6pm.
Update: Listen now via BBC iPlayer
Nabucco is based on the biblical story of Nebuchadnezzar and explores themes of identity exile and religion. It was the opera that established Verdi's reputation upon its 1842 premiere, the composer himself writing that 'this is the opera with which my artistic career really begins. And though I had many difficulties to fight against, it is certain that Nabucco was born under a lucky star'.
Plácido Domingo's role debut
Daniele Abbado's Royal Opera production saw Plácido Domingo debut in the role. Watch Plácido speak about the challenges of a new role.
Plácido shared the role with Italian baritone Leo Nucci, who holds a particular passion for this Verdi opera: 'When I was a little boy, my grandmother sang pieces from Nabucco every day', he told the audience at an ROH Insights session. Listen to highlight's from Leo Nucci's Nabucco Insight event.
Musical highlight
The opera is famed for its demands on the Chorus and includes 'Va, pensiero', the Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves, which has established itself as Italy's unofficial national anthem. Discover more about 'Va, pensiero', and watch audience renditions, submitted from around the world during Royal Opera LIVE.
A major chorus work
Nabucco places particular demands on the Chorus. Watch members of The Royal Opera Chorus reveal what it's like performing with the Company.
Watch the chorus rehearsing:
Review the show
Read audience reactions to Nabucco and add your own.
Nabucco will be followed by three subsequent Saturday broadcasts from Covent Garden on BBC Radio 3 - La donna del lago, Written on Skin and a live relay of Gloriana. It follows an earlier broadcast of Eugene Onegin. All broadcasts will be available via BBC iPlayer for seven days after broadcast.
Nabucco was generously supported by Mrs Susan A Olde OBE, Mrs Aline Foriel-Destezet, Martin and Jane Houston and the Verdi Syndicate.

Street Food Profiles: Pizza Politana in San Francisco, CA
It's time for another edition of Street Food Profiles. This week we stop by Pizza Politana for some Neapolitan-style pizza at the Ferry Plaza market.
Name: Pizza Politana
Vendors: Naomi Crawford and Joel Baecker
Location and hours: At many different Bay Area farmers' markets and festivals.
Twitter: @PizzaPolitana
How many years have you been street fooding? Six years.
Why pizza? We got inspired in Naples and thought it would be cool to make pizza on the street for common folk.
Tell us more about the oven. We worked with a fabricator to custom build our first ovens. Since then, we've worked with Mugnaini to build our third and fourth ovens.
Coal or wood-fired oven? How hot in there? They are all wood-fired, aged oak. We try to maintain 800 degrees.
What's on the menu? Pizza with seasonal toppings. Our spring seasonal pie is topped with creamy spring onions, shaved capay farms asparagus, Zoe's bacon and Star Route green garlic. In the summer, shaved summer squash, county line harvest basil pesto and fresh Bellwether Farm ricotta. For fall, creme fraiche, mission figs, wild arugular, parmesan and smithfield ham, and in the winter we have wild nettles, housemade pancetta, red onion and mozzarella.
What's your favorite topping or topping combination to make? My personal favorite pizza is our margherita topped with a Tomatero Farm egg and Zoe's bacon! We offer this at all our farmer's markets, but not private events.
Why a mobile business? It's more interesting and less stagnant.
Who are your typical customers? It depends on the market! Ferry Plaza has a lot of downtown workers, Marin has a lot of moms, and Oakland has a lot of young families.
Describe a typical day. It depends on the day! Some days, we prepare for markets while cleaning up from previous days' markets/events.
What were you doing before this? We both worked in restaurants.
Your favorite eats in the Bay Area? Spruce, Namu, Cotogna, Hana Sushi in Rohnert Park (Seriously!).
Comfort food? We have two kids, so we eat a lot of pasta.
Advice for an aspiring vendor? Bring to the street whatever you are passionate about. Don't look for trends.

Student residence in Dijon
Find your accommodation in a student residence in Dijon
Just like in any city that welcomes students, the search for student accommodation is an important step. In many cases, students have to search for their apartment in a limited time and are faced with significant competition since their peers are all making requests at the same time. In some cases, students must work to pay their rent as tenants. In other cases, parents provide for accommodations. It is important to note that housing represents 50% of the student's monthly study budget. Fortunately, there are two options, Studapart and student residences. The latter are extremely popular with students and their parents. Their location close to university campuses and city centers, their modern facilities, their turnkey formula and their conviviality are a few of their many assets. Students trained in Dijon regularly rent their accommodation in a student residence in Dijon or in a student residence in Ahuy through Studapart. They can also rent an apartment with a private individual, a student room or a private room on the Studapart platform.
