Ab initio determination of coarse-grained interactions in double-stranded DNA
J. Chem. Phys.
137, no. 10: 105102.
We derive the coarse-grained interactions between DNA nucleotides from ab initio total-energy calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). The interactions take into account base and sequence specificity, and are decomposed into physically distinct contributions that include hydrogen bonding, stacking interactions, backbone, and backbone-base interactions. The interaction energies of each contribution are calculated from DFT for a wide range of configurations and are fitted by simple analytical expressions for use in the coarse-grained model, which reduces each nucleotide into two sites. This model is not derived from experimental data, yet it successfully reproduces the stable B-DNA structure and gives good predictions for the persistence length. It may be used to realistically probe dynamics of DNA strands in various environments at the μs time scale and the μm length scale.

Migration and fractionation of deformable particles in microchannel
J. Chem. Phys.
133, no. 3: 034906.
The complexity of the coupling between soft particle deformation and fluid perturbation has limited studies of soft particle hydrodynamics to dilute suspensions. A hybrid Brownian dynamics-lattice Boltzmann method is presented that models nondilute soft spherical deformable particle (DP) suspensions in flow. Dependences on particle size and density are investigated for suspensions with over 100 DP. Multi-DP interactions lead to complex dependence of particle distributions on concentration and flow rate. Flow-induced DP migration toward channel center for DP in narrow channels is found. In wide channels, off-center peaks in the center of mass distribution for DP are found. The migration of DP leads to faster average speed of DP than the flow, which can be exploited for fractionating DPs of different sizes.

Self-Assembly of DNA-Linked Nanoparticles
Wesleyan University
. Wesleyan University.
Nanoparticles (NP) tethered with DNA strands can self-assemble into highly organized structures through complementary bonding of base pairs. Such materials are promising building blocks for the bottom-up nanotechnology. This thesis investigates (a) the phase diagram of NP tethered with four DNA strands, (b) lattice models that reveal the insights behind the unusual phase behavior, and (c) a theoretical description for the self-assembly. All of our studies are based on a combination of theory and simulations. We report the discovery of a hierarchy of amorphous networked phases that has never been observed in other materials. The mechanism behind the multitude of phases is studied in detail using various approaches. Lastly, we present a comprehensive theoretical framework that quantitatively describes the equilibrium clustering and dynamics, as well as the self-assembly kinetics. The theoretical predictions yield striking agreement with our molecular modeling.

Theoretical Description of a DNA-Linked Nanoparticle Self-Assembly

Nanoparticles tethered with DNA strands are promising building blocks for bottom-up nanotechnology, and a theoretical understanding is important for future development. Here we build on approaches developed in polymer physics to provide theoretical descriptions for the equilibrium clustering and dynamics, as well as the self-assembly kinetics of DNA-linked nanoparticles. Striking agreement is observed between the theory and molecular modeling of DNA-tethered nanoparticles.

Valency Dependence of Polymorphism and Polyamorphism in DNA-Functionalized Nanoparticles
26, no. 5: 3601–3608.
Nanoparticles (NP) functionalized with single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) offer a route to custom-designed, self-assembled nanomaterials with potentially unusual properties. The bonding selectivity of DNA guarantees one-to-one binding to form double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), and an appropriate base sequence results in head-to-tail binding linking NP into networks. We explore the phase behavior and structure of a model for NP functionalized with between 3 and 6 short ssDNA through simulations of a coarse-grained molecular model, allowing us to examine both the role of the number of attached strands (valency) and their relative orientations. The NP assemble into networks where the number of NP links is controlled by the number of attached strands. The large length scale of the DNA links relative to the core NP size opens the possibility for the formation of interpenetrating networks that give rise to multiple thermodynamically distinct states. We find that the 3-functionalized NP have only a single phase transition between a dilute solution of NPs and an assembled network state. 4-Functionalized NP (with tetrahedral symmetry) exhibit four amorphous phases, or polyamorphism, each higher density phase consisting of an additional interpenetrating network. The two investigated geometries of 5-functionalized NP both exhibit two phase transitions and three amorphous phases. Like the 4-functionalized NP, the highest density phase consists of interpenetrating networks, demonstrating that regular symmetry is not a prerequisite for interpenetration to produce thermodynamically distinct phases. The width of the coexistence regions for all phase transitions increases with increasing functionality. Finally, for 6-functionalized NP with octahedral symmetry, the possibility of observing disordered phases with significantly bonded particles is preempted by the formation of ordered crystal phases. Interestingly, the extreme softness of the potential combined with the directional interaction allows for the formation of (at least) six distinct crystalline structures (i.e., polymorphism) consisting of up to six interpenetrating simple cubic lattices.
Hsu, Chia Wei, and Francis W Starr
. 2009.
Interpenetration as a mechanism for liquid-liquid phase transitions
Phys. Rev. E
79, no. 4: 041502.
We study simple lattice systems to demonstrate the influence of interpenetrating bond networks on phase behavior. We promote interpenetration by using a Hamiltonian with a weakly repulsive interaction with nearest neighbors and an attractive interaction with second-nearest neighbors. In this way, bond networks will form between second-nearest neighbors, allowing for two (locally) distinct networks to form. We obtain the phase behavior from analytic solution in the mean-field approximation and exact solution on the Bethe lattice. We compare these results with exact numerical results for the phase behavior from grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations on square, cubic, and tetrahedral lattices. All results show that these simple systems exhibit rich phase diagrams with two fluid-fluid critical points and three thermodynamically distinct phases. We also consider including third-nearest-neighbor interactions, which give rise to a phase diagram with four critical points and five thermodynamically distinct phases. Thus the interpenetration mechanism provides a simple route to generate multiple liquid phases in single-component systems, such as hypothesized in water and observed in several model and experimental systems. Additionally, interpenetration of many such networks appears plausible in a recently considered material made from nanoparticles functionalized by single-strands of DNA.
Hsu, Chia Wei, Julio Largo, Francesco Sciortino, and Francis W Starr

Hierarchies of networked phases induced by multiple liquid–liquid critical points
Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA.
105, no. 37: 13711-13715 .
Nanoparticles and colloids functionalized by four single strands of DNA can be thought of as designed analogs to tetrahedral network-forming atoms and molecules, with a difference that the attached DNA strands allow for control of the length scale of bonding relative to the core size. We explore the behavior of an experimentally realized model for nanoparticles functionalized by four single strands of DNA (a tetramer), and show that this single-component model exhibits a rich phase diagram with at least three critical points and four thermodynamically distinct amorphous phases. We demonstrate that the additional critical points are part of the Ising universality class, like the ordinary liquid–gas critical point. The dense phases consist of a hierarchy of interpenetrating networks, reminiscent of a woven cloth. Thus, bonding specificity of DNA provides an effective route to generate new nano-networked materials with polyamorphic behavior. The concept of network interpenetration helps to explain the generation of multiple liquid phases in single-component systems, suggested to occur in some atomic and molecular network-forming fluids, including water and silica.

my guess is 7 1/2 /12.
I'd go for 6 1/2
IMO, it is going to be very difficult to win any single game. I think if we loose one game, we are out.
IMO, it is going to be very difficult to win any single game. I think if we loose one game, we are out.
i would not argue with you much, maybe 7 will win.This tournament will be very difficult for us all,as you may have noticed i have been testing various openings in corr play,in each one it is back to the drawing board.there could be a lot of joint winners.Just hope the new guys realise how tough this tourney is.
I am tipping 8.5/12
no way.
Well, i think 8.5 is too much, even 8.0 depends a lot on the "good" pairings one gets, especially in the first two rounds... and while the top players pretty easily will beat 1-3 of the weaker/less_motivated players, only a few are able to beat top players... and i think the inspired play of our defending champion has the highest chances doing so... indeed, of the players with a plus score (>5.5) in WBCCC, only José and Rubén (+ Stephanie+balabachi) could score a full point against the players >=even score(5.0), and i think this quality is highly needed to finish on the top of the table...
Will go for nice 8.0. With an extra round and less players I see this as a possibility.
I also think that José will score 8.0 (+2), NATIONAL and Ruben Comes will score 7.0 (+1), and a bigger group beyond them scoring 6.5 (+0.5) ... which will be bigger than the "on par" group scoring 6.0 (+-0)... the last place finishing all 12 games will score 3.5 (-2.5)... :-)
I was really hoping you would be able to play Turbo. We need more of the fun aspect in this group, they are all great guys, but too serious all the time.
Thanks for your kind words Scott, will play editon III next year (this year my exam(ination)s have absolute preference!), but will of course follow all of the -hopefully- interesting games! ;-)
And btw., i think you have a decent chance for the top half this year if you concentrate a little more on your games! :-)
And btw., i think you have a decent chance for the top half this year if you concentrate a little more on your games! :-)
Thx very much, I plan to do just that.
like yourself i like to have fun.i like a chat during games.thats why i play on this forum, its about people and not just chess moves.
i think your scoring is incorrect and i doubt we will have an outright winner,however you can also post your prediction at end of tourney in 11 months time if correct.
Calling something 'incorrect' without providing a 'more correct' solution is incorrect(!) by itself ;-)...
so how does your scoring-table look like, and who will be the shared winners? :-)
so how does your scoring-table look like, and who will be the shared winners? :-)
Soon, we will start soon---(rubbing hands together), Soon we will know the pairings... I will have ALL the games ever played by my opponents, just in case I may have missed a couple, a few bucks Nelson's way ought to cover that. Along with my new 256 core Houdini cluster encased in ice under 6 feet of cement allows me to predict a score of 11.0 for myself. I plan to let two players have a draw, not sure who it is yet, but it will depend heavily oh who can kiss up the best.
But in the spirit of sportsmanship, I wish you all good luck in going for second.

Well don't try to hard. You may have to play a game like this to beat me.
Yes, fantastic game! Mark has been winning Master class tours at ICCF long before computers came into the picture.
Of course, with a system like this, there may be an unforeseen problem or two. Does anyone know of a good steady source of Liquid Nitrogen?
Hope I play you and win!!! this time...
With 20 approx players and 12 games, it is highly likely you two will play each other.
I was going to send a "test move" to George, but game isn't showing up on the client xfcc...
Oh, oh, please add me to the list of players getting a draw against you as I dislike losing
Guys I think all players are very very strong.
Any can win the tourn!

Spring cleaning, organizing and storing!
Spring is a time of year often associated with fresh starts and new beginnings-hence the common practice of SPRING CLEANING!
Who doesn't love the smell of a clean house and the sense of rhyme and rhythm in a home? The feeling of being organized, clean and orderly is a great one and is the reason why so many are accustom to this yearly tradition.
If you are one of these spring cleaners here is a list of items available at The Shopping Channel that will help you not only CLEAN, but ORGANIZE and STORE this spring!
Visually Appealing storage:
The best way to organize yourself is to CATEGORIZE your belongings. Our set of three Muarry Faux Leather Storage Boxes will help group like items in your home. They come in different sizes along with a decorative print which makes them great to store in a closet or out where the eye can see!
Take the process one step further and use a home printer to create neat and professional looking labels for each box. We suggest printing labels on our Canon MX882 Wireless All In One Inkjet Printer. Attach the label to the outside of a storage box so you'll know what's inside without having to open the lid!
When it comes to storing the countless remote controls in your living room, use our Brown Faux Leather Remote Control Storage Box to keep these handy tools close by yet discreetly hidden. Use the photo insert to add a personal decorative element to the room.
A happy home is a functional home where the most commonly used items can be found easily and quickly. Our Household Essentials 4-Tier Revolving Shoe Tree will be a stable home for up to 24 pairs of shoes and will help keep your doorway clear. To accommodate a closet's shelving, the tiers' height are adjustable and feature a revolving wire rack to help you find your shoes when you're rushing out the door!
Workable Space:
Doing the laundry for an entire household is a tall order that requires professional tools to get the job done right the first time! Create workable space in your laundry room with our Westex Corner Valet. This pole holds up to 44 hangers which create the ideal space to clean, dry, steam and organize your laundry.

Bossard Memorial Library has been busy recently providing programming for area kids and families, including the Drake Science Center's Planetarium, which was enjoyed by 235 library patrons. Bossard leadership was also pleased to have a turnout of about 200 at last weekend's StoryWalk event, brought to the community by Bossard Library, O.O. McIntyre Park, and the Friends of Bossard Library. StoryWalk attendees were able to read a story posted along a seven-tenths mile trail, pictured above. Participants were treated to a hot dog lunch, sponsored by the Friends of Bossard Library. Bossard also provided games and face painting by Jody Rife, pictured right.
"The StoryWalk event was a huge success with 200 attendees," said Bossard Library Executive Director Debbie Saunders. "The weather was perfect for families to spend time outside together at the beautiful O.O. McIntyre Park, where they read the story entitled 'The Circus Ship' as they walked the trail. Bossard Library will also soon be announcing plans for the 2013 Summer Reading Program, themed "Dig into Reading!"

Trade Assignment Waivers
The deadline for "non-waiver" (unrestricted) trades is 4 PM (EDT) on July 31st. Beginning on August 1st and extending through to the conclusion of the MLB regular season, Trade Assignment Waivers must be secured before players on MLB 40-man rosters can be traded. (Waivers are never required to trade players on minor league reserve lists).
If a player is placed on Trade Waivers and is not claimed, waivers are said to be "secured" and the player can be traded to any MLB club at any time, just like prior to the non-waiver trade deadline.
Trade Assignment Waivers are revocable, so if a player is claimed, the player's club has the option to either withdraw the waiver request and retain the player, or allow the waiver claim to stand. The player's club has 48 hours to make this decision, and during this "window" the club has the right to trade the player to the claiming club (but ONLY to the claiming club). If a trade cannot be worked-out with the claiming club before the window closes, and the club chooses not to withdraw the waiver request, the player is automatically assigned to the claiming club for the $20,000 waiver price ($25,000 for Draft-Excluded and Rule 5 players) and the claiming club assumes 100% of the player's contract. (A player with "no trade" rights can refuse both a waiver claim and a trade assignment, however).
If a player is claimed but not traded and the waiver request is subsequently withdrawn, the player cannot be placed on Trade Assignment Waivers again for at least 30 days from the date the waivers are withdrawn, and if the player is placed on Trade Waivers again before the end of the season, the waivers become irrevocable and cannot be withdrawn. A player who has "no trade" rights (full or partial) cannot be placed on Trade Assignment Waivers a second time before the end of the season unless the player first waives his "no trade" rights.
Trade Assignment Waivers secured on a player on Optional Assignment to the minors or on an MLB Disabled List expire after 72 hours.
If a player on an MLB or minor league Disabled List is placed on Trade Assignment Waivers, he must be either traded or reinstated from the DL within 72 hours after the conclusion of the Claiming Period and/or after waivers have been secured.

2013 America's Cup
Sail-World.com : Clean start to the Australian TP52 Southern Cross Cup
Clean start to the Australian TP52 Southern Cross Cup
'Gavin Brady skippering Team Beau Geste - Australian TP52 Southern Cross Cup 2013' Teri Dodds
Australian sport is in turmoil with the drug scandal story that has broken this week. Meanwhile off Sandringham Yacht Club there was plenty of good clean fun being had by the eight boats and 100 sailors who jumpstarted their TP52 Southern Cross Cup today.
With sunny summer skies and the eastern shore of Port Phillip and the Melbourne city skyline to the north back dropping racing, Principal Race Officer Denis Thompson completed three races and was able to throw a downwind start in the mix for race two, a decision that turned results on their head.
Hong Kong based Karl Kwok's Chinese New Year commitments have kept him from competing in the inaugural Australian TP52 Southern Cross Cup, but his presence is strong thanks to the excellent results his Kiwi crew on Team Beau Geste posted on day one.
Two seconds and a first have given the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club registered Team Beau Geste, originally Bribon, an early three point break. Tactician John Cutler and an all-star New Zealand crew led by Gavin Brady and broken up by a single 'token' Aussie, Cam Ward, have given the locals something to ponder.
'It was an interesting day,' said Brady dockside this afternoon at the club. 'Downwind starts are the great equaliser whether you are starting a short course race, a Sydney Hobart or a Volvo Ocean Race. Hopefully the older generation TPs had a good day and enjoyed the middle race.
'Today wasn't so much about boat speed; it was about starts, crew work, tactics and manoeuvres.'
As a concept, Brady is fully behind the TP52 Southern Cross Cup. 'This has got to be the future of the sport. Instead of 12 hour sailing days owners spend half a day on the water, which means they can work in the morning, be back at the dock around 3 o'clock and have dinner with the family.'
Calm 2 - Australian TP52 Southern Cross Cup 2013 - Teri Dodds
Jason Van Der Slot's Calm 2, one of the local favourites, settled in early and sits second on the pointscore this evening. Barney Walker was steering and Matthew Turner calling the shots and the combo worked brilliantly in race one and three, their two wins putting them near the top of the points table with two days and plenty of life left in this class battle.
'We had really great racing with Team Beau Geste and Hooligan, we all had our noses in front at one point,' said Turner post-racing. 'Trying to herd them up one side of the course was challenging. Our crew did an awesome job today and the mood was constant. We have been sailing together for 12 months and we have focused heavily on teamwork. Now the results will show.'
Hooligan - Australian TP52 Southern Cross Cup 2013 - Teri Dodds
Marcus Blackmore's Hooligan from Sydney is third by one point after recording three thirds. They enjoyed some one-on-one time with Brady and Beau Geste, the pair going tack-for-tack as the America's Cup contingent on both boats showed off their match racing prowess.
Cutler was circumspect about their controlling tactics. 'If you are out in front, you've got to get your elbows out. You can't underestimate the competition here.'
Race one began in a light southerly and by mid-race a course change was necessary thanks to a 40 degree wind shift left. As the afternoon progressed the slow building sou'easter reached nine knots, the average was 7-8 knots over the day.
Noticeably absent from the top results at the close of racing was Rob Hanna's Shogun, Hanna admitting this afternoon he's had better days.
A good spectator fleet was on the water enjoying the action, including Sydney Hobart warhorse Bacardi, formerly owned by John Williams who was at the helm of his current boat, the TP52 Calm, which is contesting the new series. With all the carbon fibre on the track, the only 'wood' belonged to the lovely classic boats which rimmed the course area off SYC commented one spectator.
Round-the-world solo sailor Jessica Watson took in some of the action late this afternoon.
Tomorrow will be a fine-tune of today for Thompson and his team. The owners will be consulted tonight and at tomorrow's owners' breakfast on how they found day one, and minor tweaks may be incorporated.
Tomorrow's forecast is for variable winds tending north-westerly to 10 knots during the morning. The breeze is likely to tend southerly during the afternoon and increase to 15 to 20 knots, which will up the tempo on today's gentle regatta start.

Cadets headed over to the Rappelling Tower to coduct rappelling training. For some this would be the first time they've ever rappelled, others are veterans of the tower. Pictured on the right are MSG Jose Monegro (feeding the rope as the cadet moves) and Cadet Gregory Bush (as he is lowering himself into the starting position).
During the summer months, cadets will attend the Leadership Development Assessment Course. There cadets will be tested on all of the knowledge they have gained throughout their time in ROTC. Skills tested include Land navigation and the ability to lead a squad and section in a mock mission. LDAC is held on Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Seattle, Washington.
This past Saturday, the Raider Battalion seniors went on a trip to Fort Recovery in Ohio to learn about the Battle of Wabash from historian and author of Wabash 1791: St Clair's defeat, John F. Winkler. Cadets analyzed tactical decisions made by both armies. They also visited the museum which containied many recovered items such as arrow heads, rifles and bayonets, pieces of uniforms and documents. Pictured is the cover of his book.

Companies such as American Meter, Lozier and Fat Brain Toys discovered one of Omaha's best kept secrets. When these leading companies needed a plastic part to produce a conceptualized product, they turned to Premier Plastics, an injection molding company.
Stinson Morrison Hecker LLP provides sophisticated corporate, transaction and litigation legal services to clients ranging from Fortune 500 corporations and privately held companies to emerging businesses. We combine our national reach and depth of expertise with a cost-effective approach to advise regional, national and international clients on critical legal issues.

Complying with the complex "pay or play" provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act centers around the number of full-time employees a company has. Calculating that exact number isn't always easy or straightforward. The Kansas City Business Journal profiled how Stinson attorney Tom Dowling is consulting with Equifax Inc. on a product that will help companies determine if they are in compliance with the IRS "safe harbor" standards. Dowling is working on the design features and legal compliance aspects of the new product.

Stop Hunger Now is a nonprofit hunger relief agency that enables communities to actively engage in the fight to eradicate hunger across the globe.
Some area churches are already taking up offerings for the effort.
Food packages will be packed on Nov. 2 from 7 to 10 p.m. and on Nov. 3 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Spruill Ballroom at Berry College's Krannert Center.
Volunteers are needed to help assemble the goal of 100,000 meals for distribution to starving families and children around the world.
Packets are prepared using a simple assembly line system and consist of rice, soy, vegetables, flavoring, and 21 vitamins and minerals. Each packet contains six servings which cost just 25 cents per meal. No special skills are required to participate, just an open heart and willing hands.
Last year, the local effort packaged 60,000 meals that were distributed to 900 children and their families in Turkana, Kenya.
For those who want to help but won't be able to help package meals, donations are welcome. Donations may be sent to Rome First United Methodist Church, 202 E. Third Ave., Rome, GA 30161, with Stop Hunger Now in the check memo line.
To ask questions or for more information, call the church office at 706-291-8590. To donate online or sign up for a meal-packing shift on either Nov. 2 or Nov. 3, visit the online registration page at http://events.stophungernow.org/romeareaumc. A suggested donation of $10 equals 40 meals.

Pharmacy Gains Category I Status for CPT Codes | | Print | |
Pharmacy recently reached an important milestone by being given Category I status for medication therapy management service (MTMS) CPT codes - a major step forward to support billing for professional services. The CPT (current procedural terminology) codes are the nomenclature used for reporting services, laboratory tests, and medical procedures on healthcare claims. Each CPT code includes a description for the use of the code. In 2000 the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) named the CPT code set as the national coding standard for healthcare. The American Medical Association (AMA) CPT editorial panel, which represents all specialties of medicine and allied healthcare professions, including pharmacists, is responsible for developing CPT codes. The Pharmacist Services Technical Advisory Coalition (PSTAC) was successful in gaining temporary status (Category III) codes in its original application. However, these have only a five-year time span. To gain permanent Category I status, PSTAC had to provide evidence of how widespread medication therapy management services were. A survey conducted found that there were 2.8 million face-to-face MTMS encounters between the years 2004 and 2006. With this evidence, Category I status was officially granted by the CPT editorial panel earlier this year, with new codes assigned that will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2008. The new codes are for face-to-face patient assessments and interventions. MTMS includes the following documented elements: review of the pertinent patient history; medication profile of prescription and nonprescription drugs; and recommendations for improving health outcomes and treatment compliance. The new codes are not used to describe product-specific information at the point of dispensing or any other routine dispensing-related activities. The codes are:
99605 Medication therapy management services provided by a pharmacist 99606 Initial 15 minutes with established patient.
99607 Each additional 15 minutes that should be listed separately in PSTAC is a coalition of seven national pharmacy organizations: the American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP); the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP); the American Pharmacists Association (APhA); the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists (ASCP); the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP); the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS); and the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA). The coalition has been successful in integrating pharmacists and their professional services into the traditional medical services billing model and providing the leadership to secure pharmacy's position in the national electronic data interchange of encounters/ claims and payment of professional services. For more information about PSTAC and the MTMS codes, go to www.pstac.org. |

At Nation's Largest Business Center
Despite the last-minute intervention by a Ghanaian based sanitation company Zoom-Lion to clear the volumes of stinking garbage before the Christmas celebrations at the Red-light Market,
up to the eve of the Christmas celebrations, sanitation trucks and other equipment were seen clearing the stench of mountains garbage at the Red-light Market in Paynesville.
As a result of that insufficient intervention by Zoom Lion in the Red-light Market garbage menace, another mountain of garbage awaits New Year shoppers.
Those expected to be affected by the stinking Red-light Market garbage during the New Year include, businessmen, women, petty traders, visitors, residents and the general public.
However, it is not yet cleared and established under what arrangements Zoom-Lion got involved in the disposal of the Red-light Market garbage since the waste management falls under the Municipal Government of Paynesville administrative district.
Urban waste analysts have confided in the Daily Observer that, on many occasions at the back yards (operational areas) of Zoom Lion, garbage stench has been spotted and unattended for several days.
Regrettably and sadly, the analysts pointed out, the regulatory agency of government, Monrovia City Corporation (MCC) has allegedly not been proactive to impose fines and other penalties on Zoom Lion.
The analysts also intimated that, the MCC administration has allegedly on several occasions imposed fines and other harsh penalties on other sanitation and waste management companies in Monrovia and its environs.
The urban waste analysts further intimated that, there exists an age-old problem amongst three contending parties claiming ownership of the waste management of the Red-light Market in Paynesville.
The three contending parties, the analysts claimed and disclosed are, Liberia Marketing Association (LMA), Paynesville City Corporation (PCC) and Monrovia City Corporation (MCC).
When contacted, Monrovia City Mayor Madam Mary Broh told the Daily Observer recently that, she had earlier envisaged collaboration and partnership aimed at enhancing the sustainable disposal of the Red-light Market garbage.
She categorically denied ever claiming ownership of the Red-light Market garbage as according to her, that's not her area of operation.
For the Paynesville City Corporation, Administrative Manager Samson Toe told the Daily Observer last week that garbage disposal was not an event but, rather a sustained process that requires huge logistical support.
"We are indeed committed and ready to keep the Red-light Market area clean, tidy and hygienic at all times, once the requisite logistical support is provided by the Liberian Government," Manager Toe emphasized.
In its reaction, the Liberia Marketing Association officials shifted all the blames on residents of Paynesville for the huge unattended garbage at the Red-light Market.
"The garbage is being disposed of at several unauthorized sites around the strategic areas of the Red-light Market by residents of Paynesville," the LMA officials claimed.
When contacted residents of Paynesville vehemently rejected the claims of the LMA officials and argued that the administration of the LMA is only interested in the collection of market dues.
The LMA officials are yet to offer any genuine solution to the Red-light Market garbage menace that continues to affect traders and residents of Paynesville.
Already, at the eight major entry points of the Red-light Market, the stench of garbage stockpiles has engulfed the area.
In a 15-minute tour of the densely commercial center by our sanitation correspondent over the weekend, it was observed several parts of the market were engulfed with unattended garbage stockpiles.
Business people and other residents of the gravely affected entry points have begun to express grave concern about the unsanitary conditions of the Red-light Market in Paynesville.
In separate comments with the Daily Observer over weekend, some of the petty traders and residents expressed grave concern on the health hazard the stench garbage continues to pose to them.
Businessman Solomon B. Richards, 48, told the Daily Observer that the PCC administration must collaborate and work with other urban waste entities and residents of Paynesville and Monrovia to ensure the smooth disposal of the garbage stockpiles.
"We must all work together as a team and determination in order to ensure the practical and sustainable disposal and management of the Red-light Market garbage in Paynesville," businessman Richards stressed.
He also cautioned that no effort of using manual hand sweeping of the Red-light Market would clean and keep the entire area tidy.
The businessman also added that involving sanitation companies that have the requisite equipment and professional manpower are critical to any sustainable waste disposal process.
Another business person Madam Florence M. Sackie, 40, a dealer in wholesale of cassava and other vegetable produce stressed the need for the PCC administration to decentralize the collection and disposal of the Red-light Market garbage.
"New and realistic programs must be designed by the PCC administration Sanitation and Environmental Department to ensure that disposal and collection of garbage are indeed sustainable," Madam Sackie asserted.
Meanwhile, several residents and petty traders have expressed grave concern that the New Year would again meet them in the midst of the garbage stench and squalor at the Red-light Market in Paynesville.

D-backs' Wade Miley among MLB All-Stars
Originally published: Jul 1, 2012 - 10:08 am
"It's awesome," Miley said. "It's just an honor to have your name called with all the guys that will be there."
Miley, the only Diamondback to make the All-Star roster, is 9-4 with a 2.87 and 66 strikeouts on the season.
The young left hander started the season in the bullpen and has made his way into the rotation with impressive numbers, becoming a viable candidate for NL Rookie of the Year.
A nice surprise for a man who says he had his car packed on the last day of spring training, expecting to be sent back down to Triple-A Reno.
Diamondbacks Aaron Hill and Paul Goldschmidt were also strong candidates for an All-Star spot, but neither was selected.
"Hopefully we get Hill, he's deserving of it," Miley said. "He probably deserves it more than I do, the way he has been playing the lat two months."
Hill recently became just the second player in Major League history to hit for the cycle twice in a single season on June 29 against the Milwaukee Brewers. He is batting .301 on the season with 11 home runs and 38 RBI.
Hill is among the final five candidates listed in a vote for the last NL spot on the All-Star team, in which fans can vote for on mlb.com.
Goldschmidt struggled to start this season but has turned it on as of late, amassing a .293 average with 11 home runs and 35 RBI in 2012.

Pruning the forum database.
When you do a reinstall your /home should remain untouched, assuming you have a separate /home, so if your mp3's are in /home then you will not lose them. You should still make at least one backup of these files to another device, flash memory, external hdd, dvd-r, but I would make 2 backups to be on the safe side.
thanks, gang. how about saving them all to an i-pod like device?

Say Goodbye to Law Schools: and Credentials More Generally
Law school applications have gone off a cliff. Just look at this statistic from today's NY Times.
As of this month, there were 30,000 applicants to law schools for the fall, a 20 percent decrease from the same time last year and a 38 percent decline from 2010, according to the Law School Admission Council. Of some 200 law schools nationwide, only 4 have seen increases in applications this year. In 2004 there were 100,000 applicants to law schools; this year there are likely to be 54,000.
This radical drop in law school applications is not because people are suddenly reading Shakespeare. The reason is clear. Lawyers aren't getting jobs. For law school grads in 2011, only 55% got full-time jobs working as lawyers. That means 45% did not get jobs they were trained to do. No wonder students and their parents aren't lining up to take out debt to get a legal education.
Just as journalism has been upended by the Internet revolution, so too law is changing. The changes are different. Lawyers are still needed and law firms will exist. But more of the work can be done more cheaply, off-location, and by fewer people. Quite simply, we need fewer lawyers. And those we do need, don't command the salaries they once did.
Finally, law school was for years the refuge of the uncommitted. For liberal arts grad unsure of what to do next, the answer was law school. But now with tuitions skyrocketing, debt ballooning, and job prospects dimming, law schools are out of favor.
What is more, these changes coming to law schools will be coming to other professional and graduate schools as well. All those Ph.D.s in hyper-specialized disciplines ranging from Italian studies to Political Theory are in for a really tragically rude awakening? There are no jobs. And those jobs are not coming back. For academics to keep bringing young scholars into Ph.D. programs now is really deeply wrong.
This retreat from law school is a good thing. My J.D. was hardly an educational experience worth three years of my time. Law schools are caught between being professional schools training practicing lawyers and the desire to be also to be something more. The result, they largely do neither well. They don't produce lawyers ready to practice. Nor do they produce deep legal minds. Little would be lost if law school were reduced to 2 years (or even less), which is why legal academics are pushing an experiment to offer two-year J.D.s.
Education does matter and will continue to distinguish people who pursue it and excel at it. Liberal arts majors who combine a love for the renaissance with an interest in dance will succeed, whether they create new works of art or found a business curating Italian wines, these students learn to pursue their dreams. Education will survive because it raises people from their daily lives to the life of the mind. Education, as opposed to factory schools and large lectures, fosters creativity and daring, leading people to invent lives for themselves in pursuit of their passions.
While education will survive, schools and universities that have become credentialing factories will be increasingly challenged. When what matters is measureable performance, credentials will become ever less important. Law schools—at least many of them that do not offer an elite status—are credentialing institutions. So too are many of the colleges and universities around the country, where students sit in large lectures for four years so that they can get a degree that stamps them employable. Such credentials are ever less valuable in an age of cheap Internet driven education. That is why these institutions are under pressure.

Superconductors surprise with intriguing properties
Media Releases Matter and Material Research Using Synchrotron LightScientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute, together with Chinese and German collaborators, have obtained new insights into a class of high-temperature superconductors. The experimental results of this fundamental research study indicate that magnetic interactions are of central importance in the phenomenon of high-temperature superconductivity. This knowledge could help to develop superconductors with enhanced technical properties in the future.

Imaging fluctuations with X-ray microscopy
Media ReleasesX-rays are used to investigate nanoscale structures of objects as varied as single cells or magnetic storage media. Yet, high-resolution images impose extreme constraints on both the X ray microscope and the samples under investigation. Researchers at the Technische Universität München the PSI now showed how to relax these conditions without loss of image quality. They further showed how to image objects featuring fast fluctuations, such as the rapid switching events that determine the life time of data storage in magnetic materials.

Magnetic nano-chessboard puts itself together
Media Releases Micro- and Nanotechnology Materials Research Matter and Material Research Using Synchrotron LightResearchers from the Paul Scherrer Institute and the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research have been able to intentionally 'switch off' the magnetization of every second molecule in an array of magnetized molecules and thereby create a 'magnetic nano-chessboard'. To achieve this, they manipulated the quantum state of a part of the molecules in a specific way.

The evolutionary origins of our pretty smile
Media Releases Biology User Experiments Research Using Synchrotron LightUntil recently, it was not obvious whether the earliest vertebrates (animals with a backbone) which had jawbones already possessed teeth or not. Now, an international research team has shown that the jaws of the prehistoric fish Compagopiscis already had teeth. This means that teeth appeared at the same evolutionary time as jaws – or at least shortly afterwards. The leaders of this project were scientists from the University of Bristol, England, who carried out their decisive experiments at the SLS at PSI.

X-rays provide insights into volcanic processes
Media Releases Research Using Synchrotron Light Environment User ExperimentsExperiments performed at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) investigate processes inside volcanic materials that determine whether a volcano will erupt violently or mildly. In the experiments, scientists heated small pieces of volcanic material similarly to conditions present at the beginning of a volcanic eruption. They used X-rays from the SLS to observe, in real time, what happens to the rock as it goes from the solid to the molten state.

Research on Phase Contrast Imaging awarded by the Dalle Molle Foundation
Marco Stampanoni, Head of the X-ray Tomography Group at SLS and Professor for X-ray Microscopy at Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the ETH Zürich, together with Dr Zhentian Wang (postdoc in Stampanonis team) receive this year's Angelo Dalle Molle award of CHF 10,000. Their project Noninvasive microcalcifications classification by X-ray phase contrast imaging and advanced imaging processing focuses on innovative X-ray techniques and up-to-date image analysis, which are used e.g. for early breast cancer detection. The aim of the Dalle Molle Foundation for Quality of Life Contest is to promote innovative projects of general interest and of high scientific quality. Of primary importance are projects aiming at improving life quality, humanising production and using goods and services with a view to creating a balanced social system.5. September 2012
New Insights into Superconducting Materials
Media Releases Matter and Material Materials Research Research Using Synchrotron LightA new X-ray technique provides insights into the magnetic properties of atomically thin layers of a parent compound of a high-temperature superconductor. It turns out that the magnetic properties of material films which are only a few atoms thick differ by only a surprisingly small degree from those of macroscopically thick samples. In the future, this method can be used to study the processes occurring in very thin layers of superconductors and help us to understand this intriguing phenomenon.

ERC Grant for the development of a new imaging method with high potential clinical impact
Marco Stampanoni, Assistant Professor for X-ray microscopy at the ETH Zürich and Head of the X-ray Tomography Group of the SLS has been recently awarded one of the coveted European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant for the project PhaseX: Phase contrast X-ray imaging for medicine. Marco Stampanonis project will be supported by the ERC with 1.5 million euros for the next 5 years. The highly competitive ERC Starting Grants are reserved for outstanding young research talents. With his team, Stampanoni has been working on the development of phase contrast X-ray imaging methods since several years. This technique can potentially revolutionize the radiological approach to medical imaging because it is intrinsically capable of detecting subtle differences in the electron density of soft tissue and of measuring the effective integrated local small-angle scattering power generated by the microscopic density fluctuations in a specimen. It goes therefore well beyond the conventional, absorption-based approach used daily in the clinical routine which usually lacks in contrast when imaging soft-tissue. Stampanonis ERC project aims at transferring this technique -- so far successfully and efficiently implemented exclusively on synchrotron -- to the clinical environment, with the final purpose to provide medical doctors a new, powerful diagnostic tool. A few preliminary applications of the method have been investigated in the field of mammography and Alzheimer research already.3. July 2012
Controversy clarified: Why two insulators together can transport electricity
Media Releases Matter and Material Materials ResearchHow can two materials which do not conduct electricity create an electrically conducting layer when they are joined together? Since this effect was discovered in 2004, researchers have developed various hypotheses to answer this question. Now, an international team under the leadership of researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute has probably settled the controversy.

Physicists observe the splitting of an electron inside a solid
Media Releases Matter and Material Materials Research Research Using Synchrotron LightAn electron has been observed to decay into two separate parts, each carrying a particular property of the electron: a spinon carrying its spin – the property making the electron behave as a tiny compass needle – and an orbiton carrying its orbital moment – which arises from the electron's motion around the nucleus. These newly created particles, however, cannot leave the material in which they have been produced.

Creating magnetism takes much longer than destroying it
Media Releases Matter and Material Materials Research Research Using Synchrotron LightResearchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute are finding out how long it takes to establish magnetism and how this happens. Establishing a magnetically ordered phase in the metallic alloy iron-rhodium takes much longer than the reverse process of demagnetization. The result comes from basic research, but has relevance for the computer industry, as it shows which processes limit the speed of magnetic data storage and where improvements might be made.

Using heat for storing data
Media Releases Matter and Material Research Using Synchrotron Light Materials ResearchAn international research team has demonstrated a new way to record information on a magnetic medium without the use of a magnetic field. Instead, they found that they could record information using only a heat pulse. This method of recording might allow one to record Terabytes (1000s of Gigabytes) of information per second being 100s of times faster than present hard drive technology, and consumes much less energy by using heat without the need for a magnetic field. Using modern lithographic methods and x-ray microscopy, researchers from the Paul Scherrer Institute contributed considerably to this work.

It works: Ultrafast magnetic processes observed 'live' using an X-ray laser
Media Releases Matter and Material SwissFEL SwissFEL Experiments Materials ResearchIn first-of-their-kind experiments performed at the American X-ray laser LCLS, a collaboration led by researchers from the Paul Scherrer Institute has been able to precisely follow how the magnetic structure of a material changes. The change of structure was initiated by a laser pulse, and investigated with the help of short X-ray pulses. It appears as if the structure begins to change 400 femtoseconds after the laser pulse strikes. Such investigations will be a major focus of research at the planned Swiss X-ray Laser, SwissFEL, at PSI.
