G9900, Reviewed October 1993
Are you planning to give a puppy or kitten to someone as a gift? Or do you suspect someone will be giving you one? If the answer is yes, you must first consider some important points.
Owning a pet can be a wonderful experience, but it does involve responsibilities that you should understand before you give or obtain a pet, not after.
First, consider the basic obligation involved. Anyone obtaining a dog or cat as a pet accepts a responsibility for that animal's care and existence for the rest of its life. This can average more than 10 years with proper care.
If there's any hint that long-term care cannot be provided, a pet should not be given or received. People need and want pet dogs and cats for various reasons. The basic reason for owning a pet dog or cat is for the companionship and love it can provide to individuals.
Fortunately, most people own dogs and cats for companionship. However, nearly 20 percent of all pet owners at any time are considered dissatisfied. These people view the pet as a nuisance.
When a pet has been given to children it is received enthusiastically — at first. Often, when the pet becomes an adult and loses puppy or kitten cuddly appeal, it receives little attention or affection from family members.
Another important point to consider when giving or receiving a dog or cat as a gift is the expense involved. The initial purchase price occurs only one time and is a minor expense compared to the continual costs.
The estimated cost of owning a 30-pound dog the first year is around $225. This figure includes licenses, vaccinations, neutering and food. After the first year, the yearly estimated cost of owning a 30-pound dog is about $150.
The cost for a cat the first year is about $165 with each succeeding year tallying about $110. These figures do not include any contingency to provide for medical or surgical emergencies or care for the animals during vacations.
The age of your new puppy or kitten is also important. A socialization period begins at about 3 weeks and ends around 12 weeks of age. A pet shows peak approach behavior between weeks 5 and 7. This is the best time to introduce your pet to all other animals and people it will associate with later. If the pet is placed with other animals during this age period, they will form a close bond.
At 8 weeks a puppy is first capable of learning by training. But between weeks 8 and 9, it is also extremely vulnerable to having its personality damaged by traumatic experiences.
Consider breed and size when giving a pet. To give a large dog to someone without ample room would be a terrible mistake. A dog with a vast store of energy, which is common in many intermediate breeds, needs enough room for exercise. If the animal is to serve a specific purpose, consider this prior to obtaining it. Don't give a Pekinese as a hunting dog or a Chihuahua as an outside dog in subzero weather.
Consider the source of the pet. A safe generalization is that healthy animals can be obtained where pets have received good care. To avoid disappointment, get healthy puppies and kittens from known reliable sources where health history, including vaccinations, parasite problems and temperament of dam and sire, is known.
Prepare in advance for the arrival of your new dog or cat. Avoid obtaining or giving a pet during peak vacation periods or holidays. At these times, distractions prevent you from giving the pet proper attention.
When obtaining or giving a pet as a gift, avoid shipping during holidays, peak vacation periods or subzero weather. When shipping during very hot weather, ship either early in the morning or late in the evening for the animal's comfort.
When delivering a puppy or kitten, do not gift wrap, box or package the pet in any way that will endanger its life. This cruel practice has claimed the lives of many puppies and kittens.
When giving or getting a new puppy or kitten, make sure the new owners receive it in the morning. This will give the animal an entire day to get acquainted with its new surroundings and its new owners. The animal also should be provided a box with bedding where it can find comfort and uninterrupted rest.
Most people want to play with a new puppy or kitten. If it is healthy and rested, the animal also will want to play. But remember that young animals tire easily and need to rest and sleep. Don't play with them until they are completely worn out before allowing them to rest.
When handling a new puppy or kitten, do not pick it up by the front legs. Instead, place a hand under its abdomen, lift it into your arms and cradle it so that its body lies along your arm.
Find out from previous owners what the animal has been fed. If possible, start your new animal on the same diet. If you intend to change diets, make the change gradually. Many well-balanced, commercially prepared diets are available.
Find out to what degree a puppy has been housebroken or paper-trained and whether or not a kitten has been litter-trained. Don't be surprised if accidents occur during the first few days in new surroundings. The animal must have time to become familiar with its new environment before learning the proper area for elimination.
Try to give your animal a good, healthy start. Obtain the advice of a practicing veterinarian concerning vaccinations and other preventive medicine procedures as soon as possible.
Provide adequate shelter for your pet. This means planning for all contingencies. It is essential that shelter for the outdoor pet provide protection against hot as well as cold weather. Many animals are lost because of inadequate shade, insulation or ventilation.
Before obtaining a pet you should decide if you are going to breed the animal. It is an act of responsibility not to contribute to the large number of unwanted animals in this country. When animals are bred only to teach children the facts of life, the lesson provided may be quite different when it comes to disposing of the unwanted litter. Neutering an animal can increase its life span by eliminating reproductive disorders and diseases. Neutering reduces the animal's desire to roam, which decreases fighting and bite-related problems.
Respect and adhere to local ordinances governing animal control and licensure. Remember that animal control ordinances and officers are necessary because a large percentage of the pet-owning public does not practice owner responsibility. Instead, they allow their pets to become public nuisances and community health hazards.
Provide an adequate exercise area for your pet, such as a fenced yard. Dogs have been domesticated for nearly 10,000 years; they depend on man for shelter, food, protection and companionship. Given their preference, these animals would rather stay and exercise with their owners. The average life span of pets that are allowed to run free is only one to two years.
Provide care for your pet during your vacation. Unfortunately, many people leave their pets unattended with little food or water and subject to traumatic incidents while they are away from home.
Training can increase the pleasure you get from having a pet. Basic training for family living includes simple commands like "come," "sit" and "stay," which improve your pet's manners.
If your animal is aggressive, you should warn people that the animal may bite. You are responsible for properly restraining aggressive animals.
Cleaning up after your pets is your responsibility. Pets should not be allowed to eliminate wastes in public areas. Waste materials should be disposed of immediately as they may be a source of disease for other animals and humans.
Many good handbooks and pamphlets are available on basic care, housebreaking, etc. Contact your local kennel club, animal shelter or veterinarian; nearly all of these groups will have free literature available.
Owning a pet may be rewarding and pleasurable and can provide benefits that are important to a person's well-being. All of us who own pets are aware of this and have an obligation to encourage and enhance responsible pet ownership. If we fulfill our responsibilities, we will continue to have the freedom of pet ownership in this country.

Classic Fight: Jon Jones vs. Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson @ UFC 135 [FULL VIDEO]
(Props: YouTube.com/JonJones. Fight starts at the 13:50 mark, but it's worth it to watch the entrances, just to see Jackson and Jones walk out to those obviously patched-in nü-metal tracks, I guess because the UFC couldn't secure replay rights on YouTube for the songs they actually walked out to. It's hilariously jarring. Couldn't they find generic rap tracks to include for situations like this?)
After winning the UFC light-heavyweight championship in March 2011 with his demolition of Mauricio Rua, 24-year-old Jon Jones attempted his first title defense in September at UFC 135 in Denver, against former champion Quinton Jackson. And for the second title fight in a row, Jones gave nothing and took everything. Over four rounds, Bones picked his shots and wore Rampage down, confounding Jackson with his unorthodox kicks and elbows, and clowning 'Page whenever the inspiration struck. (Skip to 31:08 for an all-time classic.)
After winning the first three rounds handily, Jones closed the curtains in the fourth frame, taking Jackson down with ease then finishing him with a rear-naked choke. It was the first time Jackson was ever stopped in the UFC. To put it lightly, aging legends have never really performed well against Jon Jones, and Dan Henderson might not fare any better at UFC 151 — that is, if Hendo actually makes it to the fight. There are some nasty rumors swirling around right now…we'll update you if they turn out to be legit.Read More DIGG THIS

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - Neither a game cancellation nor frigid weather can stop the red hot Tennessee Tech baseball team (19-6, 8-1), winners of 12 consecutive games after eeking out a 1-0 shutout over Maryville (Tenn.) Tuesday afternoon. The win put the Golden Eagles into sole possession of the longest active winning streak in the nation.
Despite having their scheduled game at the University of Tennessee cancelled to due to poor field conditions, and forced to deal with below freezing weather and snow flurries, the Golden Eagles put together an impromtu contest against the Scots of Maryville (Tenn.) College (12-15, 7-11).
In all winning streaks, there's always a game or two that just don't always go the way one might want. The key is to dig deep and fight through the adversity to come out on top. That's exactly what the Golden Eagles did Tuesday afternoon, grinding out the tough 1-0 win over the Scots. Tech hit the ball hard, picking up seven base hits from five different players. The Maryville defense was excellent, however, turning four double plays, the most the Golden Eagles have hit into this season.
Senior right fielder Michael Morris was the hero for the Tech squad, driving in the game's lone run with an RBI double off the right center field fence in the bottom of the fifth. He drove in Zephan Guyear, who had singled in the previous at-bat. It was one of Morris' three hits in three at-bats. The senior also swiped a bag in the contest, stealing second base in the third inning.
The Scots were able to pick up five hits in the contest, including two from shortstop Nick Dean. The Golden Eagle pitching staff wasn't about to let the game slip from its grasp, however, shutting the door on every scoring chance the Scots put together and collecting its second combined shutout of the season.
Earning his third win of the year was right hander Garrett Baugh. The junior tossed six innings, allowing just three hits and one walk while striking out a game-high five batters. Four other Tech pitchers joined in on the shutout, with Ross Spurgeon coming in the top of the seventh and gathering the first two outs. He allowed two hits while setting down one batter on strikes.
Sophomore David Hess relieved Spurgeon, gathering the final out of the inning in just three pitches. In the eighth, junior Stanton Taylor joined in on the fun, pitching a hitless inning with a strikeout to set up sophomore closer Seth Lucio for a save attempt. The right hander did not miss a beat, throwing nine pitches to get three quick outs, including a strikeout.
Lucio picked up his fifth save of the season, tying him for second all-time at Tech in saves in a season. The pitching effort also gave the Golden Eagles the best start in program history, eclipsing the previous best of 18-6-1 by the 1982 team. Tech is off to its best start to a conference season as well, going 8-1 in its first nine games.
The 12-game winning streak is the second longest in school history, just two shy of the 1955 team which started its season 14-0.
The streak comes off the backbone of great hitting and pitching, areas that the Golden Eagles have been so good in that they rank nationally in several categories including: second in strikeouts per nine innings, tied for second in home runs, 12th in slugging percentage, 24th in runs scored, 24th in scoring, 25th in doubles, and 30th in on-base percentage.
The Golden Eagles will look to extend the streak even further this weekend with a three-game series against Ohio Valley Conference foe SIU Edwardsville. Tech will host the Cougars beginning at 6 p.m. CDT on Thursday. The series will continue with another 6 p.m contest on Friday and wrap up with a 2 p.m. tilt on Saturday.
Admission is free. The games Thursday and Friday are scheduled to be streamed live by the Golden Eagle Sports Network on the OVC Digital Network.

In a new post to his blog Padraic Brady takes a look at remote timing attacks that happen on a nanosecond scale and whether or not we, as application developers, should take them seriously. Timing attacks involve gleaning information off of systems based on the response and execution time.
I've been following the progress of Remote Timing Attacks with a lot of interest over the years, during which time there has been an obvious trend in improving the technique. The most recent reported cases of Remote Timing Attack vulnerabilities, for example, were against the OpenID and OAuth protocols when it was reported in July 2010 that numerous open source implementations of these protocols did not prevent the disclosure of timing information that could enable a Remote Timing Attack. It is important to note that, as with many potential attacks, the protocols themselves contain no vulnerability. This is strictly a potential vulnerability contingent on the method of implementation.
He starts off by defining timing attacks in a bit more detail, including an example of how an attacker could determine the validity of a username based on the response time of how its handled. He continues on talking about how important the nanosecond is to attacks like this (might as well be minutes) and how things like the C function memcmp can be used to catch these tiny time differences. There's plenty more detail in between, but he finishes the post off with a look at what you can do to help prevent this type of attack from being useful on your applications.

Casual drinking is on the rise with young women, with many marketers targeting them specifically in their advertising. The media glamorizes the virtues of drinking red wine specifically, with some studies even linking it to decreased heart attacks and lowered blood pressure. However, while these studies show good news on some fronts, in the case of breast cancer, the news is all bad. Two alcoholic beverages a day actually increase your chances of breast cancer by up to 21%.
Although packed with antioxidants and with the ability to lower blood pressure, the actual alcohol content in red wine limits its ability to have any effect on blood pressure and health.
This means the only way to derive the beneficial value of red wine is to only drink the non-alcoholic kind. No longer will your overt concern for heart health be an excuse for your best-intentioned vino tendencies.
Did you know?
The World Health Organization lists alcohol as a group #1 carcinogen alongside asbestos, formaldehyde and tobacco? There have been clear and direct links made between all of these chemicals and various human cancers.
Many breast cancer associations (like the one listed below) are now specifically releasing ads mentioning the links between this seemingly innocuous carcinogen and breast cancer. Nearly 40% of breast cancers are preventable through lifestyle changes.
Our article is meant to bring awareness to the fact that while you may be shopping in the organic aisles of your food mart and trading in your skincare for all-natural products, the drinks after work may be putting all of your efforts to shame.

In this fas- paced world, capturing photos as quickly as possible is essential. If you spend that extra second or two clicking home and trying to find the camera app, or whatever the situation is, you could miss the perfect photo opportunity. Manufacturers have been striving to make fast shortcuts to get to the camera, like lockscreen shortcuts or even hardware camera buttons that open the camera app (if you're lucky enough to have one).
However, the team behind CyanogenMod is showing off a new feature to help take photos even faster. They added a camera tile to the quick settings in the notification shade. When pressed, it will turn into a live preview of your camera. One more press, and you take a photo in full resolution and identical quality to the standard camera app. And if your device supports it, it'll even continually focus.
This means that you'll be able to take a photo quickly anywhere in the OS, whether it is in another app, or even a game (even in full screen games, you can swipe down to see your notification bar). And best of all, it won't waste your battery. It'll only be on when you tap on it, and it'll shut off when you close the notification shade. I love this feature and can't wait to use it when it's approved and merged. Do you think this method is faster then others?
Note: If you don't flash custom ROMs, there are ways to emulate this speedy approach without the fanciness. Download something like Notification Toggle (Play Store link) and you can add a shortcut to go straight to the camera. It may not be as elegant, but it works!

I use the winter carvers on all 4 corners of my Mustang during the winter months in Colorado. Honestly the best tires I've had in snow and ice conditions. I have not had a day all winter where they have let me down. Regularly drive away from 4x4's on hills in ice conditions.

These tires were awesome when they were brand new, never got stuck anywhere. These tires wore out way too quickly and lost all their traction on snow and ice.

Was not impressed with this tire. Tire was very noisy and the car did not feel secure. Stopping and starting seemed difficult. This is a very noisy tire and after one season of driving these had to go.

All orders are verified for fitment guarantee
Verified by tire & wheel expert
We honor the fitment.
1010TIRES.COM goes through many steps to ensure that all orders we ship will fit your described vehicle.
To the best of our knowledge, the 1010TIRES.COM vehicle, wheel, tire and tire and wheel package selectors are accurate. Due to the possibility of typographical errors, modified vehicles, wear of vehicle, age of vehicle, or other factors, our proprietary selectors may not always be 100% accurate. Our vehicle database is sourced and verified by third party and to the best of our knowledge is accurate and up to date.
Please be aware that if you are installing aftermarket wheels, and/or changing tire size you are customizing your vehicle; therefore, the products you order from 1010TIRES.COM may not fit exactly the same as the factory settings.
If the order is approved for our 100% Fitment Guarantee and the product doesn't fit we will offer you a replacement or a full refund, including shipping charges (*some conditions apply).
You must provide your vehicle information. The selected vehicle information must be accurate and complete. It is the customers' responsibility to provide accurate and complete vehicle information.
The vehicle must be unmodified and has all original factory settings. Please note, older vehicles may no longer have factory parameters and therefore, may not qualify for our 100% Fitment Guarantee.
You are purchasing a full set of tires, wheels or tires and wheels package. Less than a set (3 or less) does not qualify for our 100% Fitment Guarantee
Rims: Rims will bolt on and will not interfere on OEM brakes, suspension, or body components. Rims that require hub centric rings or different wheel nuts/bolts are still considered a correct fitment.
Tires: Will fall within the approved overall tire diameter, load rating, and speed rating (winter tires are approved to have a lower speed rating).
Tire and Wheel Packages: The package will bolt on and will not interfere on OEM brakes, suspension, or body components. Rims that require hub centric rings or different wheel nuts/bolts are still considered a correct fitment
When you place an order, you must select your vehicle information from the drop-down menus presented to you in the search by car areas. Please note, the description of the vehicle may differ from your markings on the car. Always refer to your user manual for a full description of your vehicle. The failure to choose the correct vehicle may affect the selection of the product that fits your vehicle and your claim for fitment guarantee may be rejected. If you feel that your exact vehicle is not listed please use "Notes and Additional Instructions" box to add your vehicle information at the checkout. A 1010TIRES.COM expert will use that information provided for verification.
Driver's Side Door Sticker Example
When upsizing or downsizing tires/wheels always refer to your original equipment tire size. Correct tire and wheel information can usually be found on the inside of the driver's side door on a sticker. It is the responsibility of the customer to verify that this information is correct prior to placing the order in order to qualify for Fitment Guarantee.
If you choose not to provide your vehicle information, or chose to skip Fitment Check, when placing an order our Fitment Guarantee is not applicable.
Once we receive your order our first priority is to check fitment. This is done by our fitment team that employs various methods and manufactures databases to check fitment. We may come to the conclusion that the products you have ordered will not fit your described vehicle. In this case, you will be notified and will be provided with alternative options. If you still feel confident about your original purchase and want to proceed with the order as is, we will ship it to you with a disclaimer to that effect and such order is not covered by our Fitment Guarantee Policy. If you need to return the order we will issue an in-store credit only and it's subject to our Return/refund policy.
Since we don't have your vehicle present to physically qualify it for fitment we rely on our collective experience and expertise, and consult numerous fitment sources to make approve fitment. Due to mechanical wear and tear of a vehicle, tires and/or wheels may not fit as intended. It is impossible to take these factors into account when verifying fitment. Therefore, on rare occasions when a customer claims the product does not fit we reserve the right to refuse such a claim based on our previous experience with the same vehicle and/ or manufacturers fitment data available to the public. In such cases we will request pictures showing the issues with fitment and will assess the claim on a case by case basis. If the claim for a fitment guarantee is denied our Return/refund policy will apply.
The vehicle description chosen or described by the customer is not complete, inaccurate or wrong.
The vehicle is not listed when order is placed.
The vehicle is listed on the manufacturers website as an approved fitment but the customer or the installer claims the product does not fit.
The manufacturer representative has qualified the product as an approved fit for your described vehicle but the customer or the installer claims that the product doesn't fit.
The order was not approved for 100% Fitment Guarantee and the order was shipped with the disclaimer to that effect
The order was approved as a fitment based on the previously filled orders for exact same vehicle and product shipped (we keep such data) but the product didn't fit due to the mechanical wear and tear.
*Please note, you are responsible for a safe keeping and handling of the order that is under our Fitment Guarantee policy. If the order is returned and we determine that the product was damaged, this voids the Fitment Guarantee policy. The refund will then be issued as per our return/refund policy.

Corruption accusations against the Obama administration don't hold a candle to the corruption charges of the Bush administration
"The Obama gang is the most corrupt and dangerous administration this country has experienced in one hundred fifty years." Quote from an article attacking President Obama without setting out the alleged "corruption" for a very good reason—THERE HAS NOT BEEN ONE MEMBER OF THE OBAMA "GANG" CONVICTED OF A "CORRUPT ACT."
Corruption is defined as "inducement to do wrong by unlawful or improper means such as bribery."
The following people are some of the "gang" members who plead guilty or were convicted of a "corrupt" act or acts during the George W. Bush administration. This Bush "corrupt" list does not include: (1) the names of the hundreds of people responsible for corporate "corruption" acts at Enron, World Com or dozens of other corporations. (2) the names of the hundreds of people guilty of "corruption" at dozens of Wall Street securities firms which required a Bush $700 billion TARP bailout.
On January 3, 2006, Jack Abramoff, a Republican lobbyist, plead guilty to three felony counts, conspiracy, fraud and tax evasion, was sentenced to five years and 10 months in prison and agreed to pay $1.7 million in taxes and make restitution of $27 million to clients he had defrauded.
White House Secret Service records show Abramoff had 7 appointments with the George W Bush White House staff.. On May 9, 2001 President Bush had his picture made with an Indian tribal official who was an Abramoff client.
Felipe Sixto Special Assistant to President Bush sentenced to 30 months in prison for stealing $600,000.
Scott Block Special Counsel to President Bush pleaded guilty to criminal contempt of Congress.
Lewis Libby, Chief of Staff to Vice President Cheney, convicted of perjury and sent to prison for 30 months and fined $250,000.
Roger Stillwell, Bush Department of the Interior, pled guilty to accepting hundreds of dollars worth of concert tickets from Abramoff and received a 2 years sentence
Steven Griles, Bush Deputy Interior Secretary plead guilty to obstruction of justice for lying about his relationship with Abramoff.
David Safavian, Bush White House Official, found guilty of covering up his dealings with Abramoff and sentenced to 18 months in prison.
Bob Ney, Republican Congressman from Ohio plead guilty to accepting bribes from Abramoff and was sentenced to 2 ½ years in prison.
Neil Volz, Chief of Staff to Ney left to work for Abramoff, plead guilty to conspiring to corrupt Ney and other congressmen.
William Heaton, Chief of staff for Ney plead guilty to federal conspiracy charges.
Thomas Hart, Chief of staff for Ney plead guilty to federal conspiracy charges.
Italia Frederici, Bush Interior Department Staff, plead guilty to tax evasion and obstruction of Justice of a Senate investigation of Abramoff's relationship with the Bush Interior Department.
Mark Zachares, aide to Republican Congressman Don Young plead guilty to accepting thousands of dollars from Abramoff in exchange for official acts on Abramoff's behalf.
Kevin A. Ring staff member of Republican Congressman John Doolittle was convicted of 5 charges of corruption.
Michael Scanlon, staff member of Republican House Majority Leader Tom Delay, plead guilty to bribery.
Tony Rudy, staff member of Republican House Majority leader, Tom DeLay plead guilty to conspiracy
Tom Delay, Republican House Majority leader was reprimanded twice by the House Ethics Committee and resigned from the House June 9, 2006 and was convicted of two counts of illegally channeling campaign funds.
John Albaugh, chief of staff of Republican Congressman Ernest Istook pled guilty to accepting bribes connected to the Federal Highway Bill.
Jared Carpenter Vice-President of Republicans for Environment Advocacy pled guilty to income tax evasion.
Robert Coughlin, Bush Justice Department, plead guilty to accepting bribes from Abramoff.
Horace Cooper, Bush Labor Department , and former aide to Republican Dick Armey, pleaded guilty to falsifying a document by not reporting gifts from Abramoff.
"Lawyergate" Bush fired 11 U.S. Attorneys he had appointed without giving any reason. A Congressional hearing was scheduled on these firings. Attorney General Gonzales, Karl Rove, advisor to President Bush, Harriet Miers Legal Counsel to President Bush and 9 other Senior White House and Justice Department officials resigned and REFUSED TO APPEAR AND TESTIFY BEFORE THE CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING THESE FIRINGS.
Bush, and his top officials, used the RNC web servers for millions of emails that were destroyed, lost or deleted in violation of the Presidential Act and the Hatch Act. Of 88 top Bush officials no emails could be found for 51 of them and millions of emails to and from President Bush, Rove, Cheney, Andrew Card, Sara Taylor and Scott Jennings, were DESTROYED, LOST OR DELETED.
History shows the most "corrupt" Presidential administrations are Republicans which began almost a hundred years ago with the "Teapot Dome" scandal and the above list shows "corruption" was alive and well when the last Republican President occupied the White House.
(Paul Rawlings of Heber Springs contributes monthly to the editorial pages of The Sun-Times)

Daniel S. Chemla, an OSA Fellow Emeritus renowned for his contributions to the materials sciences, nanoscience and synchrotron science, died on March 20, 2008 at his home in Kensington, California. He was 67.
Chemla had been director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's Materials Science Division and of the lab's Advanced Light Source (ALS). He also held an appointment as a professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley.
Born in Tunisia in 1940, Chemla received his undergraduate degree at l'Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications in Paris, France, and his Ph.D. in non-linear optics from the University of Paris in 1972. He worked at the Centre National d'Etudes des Télécommunications as a member of the technical staff, group leader and department head conducting research on nonlinear optics in dielectric materials, organic molecules and crystals, and compound semiconductors.
In 1981, Chemla joined AT&T Bell Laboratories in Holmdel, NJ, where he initiated research on optoelectronics in semiconductor quantum wells and superlattices. He became Head of the Quantum Physics and Electronic Research Department in 1983. In 1991, he accepted a joint appointment as Professor of Physics at the University of California at Berkeley and Director of Materials Sciences Division and in July, 1998, he was named Director of the Advanced Light Source at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He is credited with saving the ALS from loss of federal support and with making it one of the nation's premier scientific user facilities.
His achievements leading the lab's nanoscale work led the Department of Energy to select the Lawrence Berkeley Lab to open the first of five Nanoscale Science Research Centers in the nation. It was dedicated two years ago, and Dr. Chemla named it "The Molecular Foundry."
According to a biography released by UC Berkeley, Dr. Chemla stepped down as head of the Materials Science Division in 2003 to concentrate on leadership of the ALS, but after suffering a stroke and other health problems the next year, he retired from the helm of the ALS in 2005. He continued leading a major research group at the Berkeley lab until recently.
Chemla was elected as a Fellow of OSA in 1989. He was also a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the American Physical Society. He received OSA's R.W. Wood prize in 1988, and in 1995 he received the IEEE/LEOS Quantum Electronics Award and a Humboldt Research Award. In 2005, on the occasion of his 65th birthday, he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) in Cachan, France. Also in that same year, the journal Chemical Physics published a special issue entitled "Molecular Nanoscience — In honour of Daniel S. Chemla on his 65th birthday".
Dr. Chemla was internationally known as a martial arts expert - a study he began as a teenager. He was a fifth-degree black belt in karate and translated the "Karate-Do Kyohan," the widely accepted karate master text, into French. Through the years, he also started karate training in Switzerland, Israel and throughout Europe and for 50 years had pupils in America, Canada and many European countries.
Chemla is survived by his wife, Berit, and two children, Yann Chemla, a physicist at the University of Illinois, and Britt Jones, an art historian in Houston.

Ripin Gallery
In this exhibition, approximately 150 photographs by Andy Warhol - recently donated to the AMAM by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts - are shown alongside Warhol prints and paintings in the AMAM's collection.
The photographs include both Polaroids and silver gelatin prints and cover a wide array of subject matter, from portraits and landscapes to still lifes and nudes. They date from the late 1970s to the mid-1980s. The gift was made in conjunction with the 20th anniversary of the Foundation, to provide greater access to Warhol's artwork and process. As Jenny Moore, curator of the Foundation's Photographic Legacy Program, has said of Warhol, "Through his rigorous - though almost unconscious - consistency in shooting, the true idiosyncrasies of his subjects were revealed."
The AMAM is proud to have received this generous gift. In exhibiting these photographs alongside iconic images previously in the collection - Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor, as well as the series of Mao Tse-Tung and the Electric Chair - the new gift will be seen within the greater context of Warhol's art, life and work.

Bere Island School
Dear friends,
Many hearts must have sighed at the recent Tablet photo of the cardinal robed in his capa magna posing before a celebration the Tridentine rite, the long trail of scarlet silk like a beautiful serpent daimon out of Philip Pullman, held at the right distance by a devout altar boy. Similar looks of frozen solemnity appear in many similar sepia photos of the past, sacred tradition pressing down on weighty prelates, majestic memory enshrined in rituals and gorgeous vestments. They seem reminders of a real or imagined era when people knew where God wanted them to be in His hierarchy.
It is nice to know that ancient chants and fragrances of worship can be used again. The photo could also be read however as a very modern statement about the tradition of modernity. This is marked by a pluralism of styles (including nostalgia and restorationism). The modern church has learned to allow complementary rites to coexist simultaneously and non-competitively, Gregorian here, folk mass there, as different windows can be pulled up on a computer screen. Tradition has an odd way of updating itself.
A simpler and humbler experience of tradition hit me recently. It was at a small Irish island school where Mrs Toomey was retiring after thirty-six years of service. The number of primary schoolchildren drawn from a total resident population of two hundred hovers about twenty-five. When they are twelve years old they graduate to a daily commute on the ferry to the secondary school on the mainland. Mrs Toomey lives in town on the mainland and so has made the twice daily trip for her whole career.
She recalled her first appointment as assistant teacher. She had got her teaching diploma but was uncertain what to do and was working at her father's petrol station in town. As she was filling a car one day the parish priest came up to her and asked her about her plans. She explained she didn't have anything definite in mind and he said, 'right so, you'll teach on the island then.' She was hired. Bureaucracy and selection processes have come a long way since then, she remarked during her farewell speech. Despite her fear of water she accepted the appointment - for a year. About ten years ago the ferry half-sank as it was docking and she was thrown in the water and had to swim to the jetty. Since then she (and her pupils) have always worn a life-jacket.
Parents, devoted former pupils and friends gathered in the classroom to celebrate her. Her students, who now cover the globe, grew up on the island with a local identity that time or distance cannot erode. In the hard times most islanders were compelled to emigrate, for the Americas, England or Australia. Today, they would usually prefer to stay; or they feel drawn back to live the better quality of life, raise their children in a healthier and happier environment, to be part of a community rather than an urban crowd. It is a simple life. Every night after the last ferry it feels as if the drawbridge has been raised. But it is no longer primitive and, as in any real community, full of things to do and stories to tell.
Mrs Toomey spoke with great composure and all the confidence of a teacher in her classroom. Then, as she realized that a chapter of her life was ending with her words, her tears began to flow, to the delight of her audience, and she sat down to watch the slideshow. It seemed an endless sequence of class photos of no great photographic merit and for me they quickly became a blur. But around me each slide evoked cries of recognition, faces named, younger selves laughed at, questions raised, and life-histories updated. The homely liturgy ended with a toast.
An old islander once told me how they had entertained themselves before television. People would venture out at night, in all weathers, and make their way to a neighbour's house where they would sit, over a ritual tea or Jamison, and retell the stories that renewed the community. Family histories would be recounted again, with a final update, a child born in Boston, a death in Sydney.
Tradition (literally a 'passing on') lives on compound interest, not by burying the talent in the ground, by risking change not turning the clock back. People confident in their community are realistic about change. An American visitor to the island once complained because a tree in front of his father's old house was being taken down to make way for a new driveway. 'My father used to climb it,' he said. 'Ah but it wasn't there a long time before your father was,' remarked an old man, making everything clear to those who had ears to hear.
Much love,
Laurence Freeman OSB

The Supreme Leader of Iran has upheld the death sentence for 4 bankers and that several other bankers have been sentenced to life imprisonment in a $2.6m fraud.
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) Iran's state prosecutor says the country's Supreme Court has upheld death sentences against four people linked to a $2.6 billion bank fraud described as the biggest financial swindle in Iran's history.
Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejehei says the four were convicted of being "corrupt on earth" for "disrupting" the country's economy. He says the court has ordered the verdict to be carried out but no date has been set.
Ejehei is quoted by the official IRNA news agency as saying that two banking officials have been sentenced to life in prison while 19 others, almost all of them senior government officials, were given prison terms ranging from 2 to 20 years. Their trial last year raised questions about corruption at senior levels in Iran's tightly controlled economy

Most people highly dislike losing. This is no different for individuals trading the stock market. Successful traders tend to be highly adept at managing risk and creating detailed trading plans. Consistently beating the market is no easy task. Many traders and investors will spend countless hours trying to figure it all out. Some people will continue to do their homework and put in the required time and effort. Others may burn out hot and fast wondering what happened. Markets can be cruel, and being prepared for various scenarios can help the trader better manage the trading seas when markets become rocky.
Investors are usually on the lookout for the next great stock pick. Finding the next big winner may take a lot of market research. Filtering through the enormous amount of data collected on publically traded companies can seem treacherous. Many keen investors will approach stock research from various angles. This may involve studying fundamental and technical data. This may also entail tracking analyst opinions and following what the big money institutions are buying or selling. Currently, the stock has a consensus analyst rating of 3.4. This is based on a scale where a 5 would indicate a Strong Buy, a 4 would equal a Moderate Buy, 3 a hold, 2 a moderate sell, and a rating of 1 would indicate a Strong Sell. Investors and analysts will be closely monitoring company shares as we approach the next earnings report date.
Let's take a look at some historical average volume information on shares of Pro-Assurance Corp (PRA). Currently, the stock has a 1 month average volume of 212965. Investors may be trying to identify volume trends over time. Some investors may look for consistency, while others may be interested in strange activity. Looking at some more average volume numbers, the 20 day is 207200, and the 50 day average volume is noted as 227170.
Tracking some recent stock price action, we can see that Pro-Assurance Corp (PRA) recently touched 44.72. Since the start of the trading session, the stock has hit a high of 45.89 and dropped to a low of 44.07. Market watchers will be closely following company shares into the second half of the year. Interested investors will be trying to figure out if the stock is building momentum or following any defined trends.
Checking out some other company technical data, we have noted that Pro-Assurance Corp (PRA) currently has a 9 day raw stochastic value of 35.30%. This value (ranging from 0-100%) shows where the stock price closed relative to the price range over the specified period. Zooming in on another other raw stochastic time frame, we can see that the 50 day is 37.56%.
Investors are usually trying to take advantage of every possible market scenario. Tracking the market from many different angles can help the investor put together the big stock market picture. Many investors have the tendency to get caught up in all the headlines and news of the day. Sometimes that news will be relevant, but other times it will just be noise. Everyone has an opinion on where the stock market is headed, but nobody knows for sure. Studying the fundamentals and pertinent economic numbers can provide a solid foundation for investors to build from.

Allen Mitchell always encouraged people to learn something, his daughter Wendy Brown says. To him, each day a person lived and each thing he did, presented learning opportunities.
He encouraged learning about many things especially about history and heritage.
"He wanted us to know our Gullah culture," Brown says. "He just didn't want that history to die. He wanted every generation to know it, even when we no longer spoke the language.
"A lot of his interest in the history came from documenting our own family history," she says. "He probably was what you would call an amateur genealogist. He really admired Alex Haley."
Mitchell, who wrote the book "Wadmalaw Island: Leaving Traditional Roots Behind," published by Boar Hog Tree Press (1996), died Sept. 2 at 70. Mitchell, whose family is from Wadmalaw, grew up on the peninsula, graduated from Burke High School, served in the Navy, attended Denmark Technical College, earned a bachelor's degree from LaSalle University and lived away for four decades.
He was a logistics manager for the federal government. One of the places he lived was Roslyn, Pa., where he served as NAACP president. He returned to South Carolina and moved to Wadmalaw 10 years ago.
His wife, Bennia Mitchell, says Mitchell had long thought about working with young people and seniors. He encouraged young people to get an education, start a business or gain professional experience and return to Wadmalaw to serve and share knowledge. He also wanted to make a way for the community's seniors to take trips.
Bennia Mitchell says her husband also was interested in the development of the Gullah/Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor by the National Park Service. He wanted people on Wadmalaw to play their role in sharing the culture as the corridor brought more attention to the area.
Brown, who lives in Delaware, says when family or friends visited from out of town, her father had a routine.
"He had his little tour that he would take us on. It was a driving tour where he could stop and tell us who we were and where we came from and what happened along the way. One of his goals was to have a touring company about the islands and Gullah culture."
His sister-in-law, Mildred Mitchell, talks about his passion for sharing his heritage as well. Talking about his family's roots, she says, was also important when he traveled.
Mitchell would compare the way other people's African-American ancestors had lived with the way his had lived on Wadmalaw, she says. And whenever the Mitchells traveled to the Caribbean, he would seek out and compare folkways with native residents.
"He always wanted to go to Africa. He was passionate about wanting to go to Sierra Leone. But he was never able to go there."
In the 10 years since Mitchell returned, he supported those on Wadmalaw and beyond in many ways, Mildred Mitchell says.
He championed building the dock on the island at Cherry Point, worked as a member of the Burke High School Foundation to provide two $10,000 scholarships to graduating students each year, hosted the 50th class reunion of Burke's class of 1961 at his home, and raised funds for scholarships to Denmark Technical College.
Mitchell also directed the Wadmalaw Island Community Center for two years, chaired a couples' ministry and assisted in the youth ministry at New Bethlehem Baptist Church, and worked with the church's board to have a new edifice built.
"We worked on a lot of committees," his sister-in-law says. "If he had a belief, he wanted to see it out there. There was no stopping him. He wanted things done properly."
When he'd ask if she understood his vision, she would respond: "Allen, only God knows what you are saying. I don't."
Mitchell had a wall of plaques recognizing his many contributions, but few people saw them, Mildred Mitchell says. He did not want it to appear as if he was bragging.
He never forgot a person or an organization from his past, his sister-in-law says. Those who grew up with him on the peninsula were his pallbearers.

On that note, this game touts some of the most idiotic A.I. I've ever played against - they'll either rush straight at you or run across the room, fully extended, before finding cover. In fact, my first double headshot kill (which unlocks a Trophy / Achievement) was due to enemies running sideways that got caught on a box. This is a foible that's straight out of 1997's GoldenEye. At first, I laughed because I thought it was done on purpose, but then I quickly realized that it was unintentional. Due to the game's satirical nature, this frequently happens; players think the developers were clever in the way they employed old gaming quirks, but they'll soon realize it's just because the game's not very good.
That's not to say Vicious Cycle didn't put in some of these faux pas on purpose. For example, many hallways, backs of stairways, and even an entire section of a level are too dark to see where you're going, let alone play effectively. Undoubtedly, this pays homage to many previous generation shooters that didn't have access to the array of lighting effects now available. While this was mostly unobtrusive, I eventually had to crank up the gamma setting just to get passed one section in particular. Other examples include enemies spawning out of nowhere, nondescript character design, prescribed boss battles, poorly implemented quick-time events, hackneyed expressions and catchphrases, uninteresting lackeys, a simple freeze / fire ammo augmentation, etc. While the inclusion of these mechanics succeeds in poking fun at action-shooters, gamers end up getting a title that actively and consistently seeks to employ the most tired and clichéd features of the genre. When all is said and done, you're left with a pretty bad game.
Production values are also quite low for this title. The level design is linear and absolutely devoid of character - probably another misguided attempt at satire. There are also extensive aliasing issues - this game's about as jagged as the Tetons. Additionally, character design and animations are as lackluster as can be. The musical themes, on the other hand, do a great job of preserving the kitsch feel without dumbing down the game. Surprisingly, the same can't be said of the voice work. I love Will Arnett (Arrested Development) and Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother), but the lines they're forced to read are wholly shambolic. The dialogue and catchphrases used throughout title are meant to be humorously passé, but they just come off as being tired and stale - a common theme that permeates this shooter.
I love what Vicious Cycle and D3Publisher tried to accomplish with Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard. Unfortunately, the satire and humor isn't enough to save the title from its contrived gameplay. If you are a true gaming buff who's interested in seeing the action-shooter genre get lampooned, Eat Lead is likely worth a rental. That being said, the painful mechanics will try their best to thwart your advance.

After Samsung and HTC shared their respective Android 4.3 source code for their Google Play edition phones, the OTA update for both devices started rolling out. Samsung build for the Galaxy S4 weighs in at 150.7MB while the HTC One's is a but heftier at 185.5MB. The Android 4.3 update for both phones delivers Bluetooth Smart, OpenGL ES 3.0 for better 3D graphics, dial pad auto-completion and a few more technical changes like security and network enhancements. Other tweaks include larger app icons, a functional IR blaster on the HTC One and Bluetooth tethering on the Samsung Galaxy S4.
While the Android 4.3 update for the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One Google Play editions has been available for nearly 12 hours now, we are still waiting patiently for our HTC One GPe. You can try to manually ping the download servers by going to Settings > About phone > System updates > Check now but there's no guarantee that it'll actually work.
Is a nine day turnaround time for the Android 4.3 update for the Google Play editions acceptable? Do you think Samsung and HTC will capitalize on this momentum to help them release the Android 4.3 update for their mainstream devices in a more timely manner?

Two important observances come together this week � the anniversary of the Battle of Kings Mountain and National Newspaper Week.
Those might see unrelated, but the battle and newspapers actually have shared a kinship since 1780.
It was 233 years ago today � Oct. 7, 1780 � that liberty-loving patriots engaged loyalists led by the brash, bold and, some say, brilliant Scotsman Patrick Ferguson, serving as a major in the British Army.
Ferguson might have been smart in the continental ways of warfare, but the rag-tag, sharp-shooting back countrymen from Tennessee, Kentucky and right here in Cleveland County out-smarted him at Kings Mountain.
Their motivation � freedom from King George�s rule � carried them to victory, changed the course of the Revolutionary War and led to the founding of the United States of America.
One must wonder how these committed patriots today would view the land where they gave so much to give so much to future generations.
The Kings Mountain National Military Park is closed on this anniversary because of ridiculous Washington politics and a bureaucratic mindset impossible to understand.
Anniversary observances which teach important American history will not take place. Worse, even historical information on the park�s website is denied to visitors interested learning more about American history, citing the government shutdown. Why?
There is one thing concerning the Battle of Kings Mountain about which one is not left to wonder � how the word of this historic victory spread across the colonies.
Word of mouth, for sure. And newspapers.
By the time the battle had been won, American newspapers had been published for almost a century, and news had been rolling off North Carolina presses for nearly 30 years.
The instantaneous publication of news made possible today�s technology was far from the case during the Revolution. Months could pass before newspapers printed what would become this nation�s history.
While time and delivery speed may be greatly different, newspapers of the 21st Century continue to do what newspapers of the 18th Century did � they record history every day.
Whether in print or online, newspapers bind communities together like nothing else. As newspapers spread the word about the patriots� victory at Kings Mountain, colonists found a shared hope that their new nation would become a reality. Today�s Star and shelbystar.com � and every day�s � bring you information about the place you live and work and the people you know.
And your newspaper does that with the freedom guaranteed by the United States Constitution � the freedom won by those who fought Maj. Ferguson at the Battle of Kings Mountain 233 years ago today.
