Modeling of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes (PK/PD) is of utmost interest in the development of drugs: quantitative characterisation of the time course of drug concentration in administration context is essential for approval by regulatory authorities. We present recent attempts at a proper mathematical representation of these time courses in the development of cancer drugs. In particular, the role of distributed time delays, either explicitly stated or implicitly introduced in the behavior of solutions, will be discussed. Stability of stationary solutions and possible oscillatory solutions (emerging from Hopf bifurcations) will be presented.
It is well known that as the intrinsic growth rate r increases, the logistic and the Ricker map exhibit an irreversible period doubling route to chaos. If a constant positive perturbation to a Ricker model is introduced, then there is a break of chaos giving birth to a two-cycle (usually through a series of period-halving bifurcations). We study this phenomenon for various models and also in a spatial setting where each cell of the lattice is influenced by its nearest neighbours only. Chaos is not observed for r large enough, and the spatial Ricker model with a uniform positive perturbation can incorporate cells that experience two-cycle oscillations with stable dynamics at some locations. Other models and configurations are considered, for example, one-directional invasions.
This is a joint work with my M.Sc. student Jeff Haroutunian.
We study the dynamics of the predator-prey model in the chemostat when a discrete delay is introduced to model the time between the capture of the prey and its conversion to biomass. Holling type I response functions is chosen so that no oscillatory behavior is possible in the associated system when there is no delay. It is shown that as the parameter modelling the delay is varied Hopf bifurcation can occur.
Chlamydia, caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, is the commonest sexually-transmitted bacterial disease in European countries and the United States. The annual burden of the disease and its consequences in the USA is estimated at $2 billion. If undetected and treated, the disease could inflict irreversible complications, such as chronic pelvic pain, infertility in females and potentially fatal ectopic pregnancy. The talk will address the problem of the transmission dynamics of chlamydia trachomatis in a population using a mathematical model. The population level impact of various treatment strategies, based on the use of suitable antibiotics, will be discussed.
We derive models of the effects of periodic, discrete dosing or constant dosing of antibiotics on a bacterial population whose growth is checked by nutrient-limitation and possibly by host defenses. Mathematically rigorous results providing sufficient conditions for treatment success, i.e., the elimination of the bacteria, as well as for treatment failure, are obtained. Our models can exhibit bi-stability where the infection-free state and an infection-state are locally stable when antibiotic dosing is marginal. In this case, treatment success may occur only for sub-threshold level infections.
We study the non-autonomous difference equation
A tuberculosis (TB) model with migrant workers is proposed and investigated. The basic reproduction number R0 is defined. TB disease always dies out and the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically attractive if R0 < 1; while TB disease uniformly persists in the population and there is at least one endemic equilibrium if R0 > 1. Furthermore, if the immigration rates of migrant workers from villages to towns or cities and infectious migrant workers from towns or cities to villages are very small, there exists exactly one global attractive endemic equilibrium if R0 > 1. Numerical simulations indicate that there is only one global attractive endemic equilibrium if R0 > 1 and the spread of TB may be reduced if effective actions are taken.
Contact network models realistic paths of disease transmission in a population. Network epidemic models describe the spread of diseases on contact networks. Many population dynamics models approximating the intrinsically stochastic disease spread processes have been developed and studied since the introduction of a network SIS model by Pastor-Satorras and Vespignani (2001). But these models have their limitations in modeling the neighboring structure of the network, and thus generally over estimate the exponential growth rate of the epidemic. The basic reproduction number derived from these models are thus not realistic. In this talk, a network SIS model that captures the neighborhood structure of the underlying network is introduced. This model precisely predicts both the growth rate and the equilibrium of the mean dynamics of the corresponding stochastic process. The basic reproduction number can then be computed from this new model.
We develop a model of the energy budget of phytoplankton using a feedback process to regulate the amount of light-harvesting and carbon-synthesis apparatus and incorporate evolutionary optimization to identify resource allocation strategies, photosynthetic and growth rates. We derive the commonly used saturating photosynthetic-irradiance curves, showing how they are related to our mechanistic parameters. An analytical and numerical comparison of the performance of specialists-grown at specific irradiance-is presented. A specialist is also compared with a generalist, where the latter is characterized as capable of promptly adjusting to the prevailing irradiance.
We present a curve expansion model for forest fire spread in a heterogeneous environment, in the form of a coupled system of hyperbolic partial differential equations. This model extends the mathematical model employed in the Canadian Forest Service's PROMETHEUS fire simulator software package. We will present the derivation of our model, then discuss some analytical results which concern fire perimeter evolutions in anistropic and homogeneous media.
Many ODE models of disease spread have been shown to exhibit the traditional threshold behaviour: if R0 < 1, then the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable (GAS); if R0 > 1, then the endemic equilibrium is GAS. Recently, there has been good progress on this through the use of a Lyapunov function that Goh first used for ecological models.
Separately, there have been many functional differential equation (FDE) models of disease spread that have used delay to account for vector transmission, or have used integrals to account for infection-age structure. Earlier results on the global dynamics of these models introduce restrictions on the parameters which seem to be an artifact of the method.
I will discuss recent work that uses Goh-type Lyapunov functionals to resolve the global dynamics for some of these FDE models, achieving the traditional threshold result.
We talk about the effect and the impact of predator-prey interactions, diffusivity and chemotaxis on the ability of survival of multiple consumer levels in a predator-prey microbial food chain. We aim at answering the question of how many consumer levels can survive from a dynamical system point of view. To solve this issue on food-chain length, first we construct a chemotactic food chain model. A priori bounds of the steady state populations are obtained. Then under certain sufficient conditions combing the effect of conversion efficiency, diffusivity and chemotaxis parameters, we derive the co-survival of all consumer levels, thus obtaining the food chain length of our model. Numerical simulations not only confirm our theoretical results, but also demonstrate the impact of conversion efficiency, diffusivity and chemotaxis behavior on the survival and stability of various consumer levels.
We propose a model describing two main stages of methanogenesis. The model includes two microorganisms, a nutrient chain and inhibition in case of abundance of one of the nutrients. One nutrient is supplied via the input to the feed vessel. As one species of microorganisms consumes this nutrient, a second nutrient is produced. While this second nutrient is essential for the growth of the second microorganism, a high concentration of this nutrient alters the conditions in the vessel so that the second microorganism cannot survive.
Using the inflow rate and the inflow concentration as parameters, we show that the system undergoes several bifurcations. The inhibition results in the possible bi-stability of two positive equilibria.
This work was motivated by installations of biogas reactors which experienced difficulties in reaching high production levels after start-up. We present numerical results which indicate that close observation and timely intervention are key to optimize the production of methane.
Recent research has determined that viruses are much more prevalent in aquatic environments than previously imagined. We derive a model of competition between two populations of bacteria for a single limiting nutrient in a chemostat where a virus is present. It is assumed that the virus can only infect one of the populations, the population that would be a more efficient consumer of the resource in a virus-free environment, in order to determine whether introduction of a virus can result in coexistence of the competing populations. Criteria for the global stability of the disease free and endemic steady states are obtained. It is also shown that it is possible to have multiple attracting endemic steady states, oscillatory behavior resulting from Hopf bifurcations, and a hysteresis effect. Mathematical tools that are used include Lyapunov functions, persistence theory, and bifurcation analysis.
In this talk, we study the classical Van der Pol's equation with delayed feedback. We investigate the Bogdanov-Takens singularity and bifurcation occurring in the system with the variation of the original parameters by using the normal form method, and predict the suitable choice in the feedback control in order to obtain the asymptotic stable state.
In this talk we give some results on the global existence and the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the Cauchy problem for coupled initial data converging to constant states at infinity. The basic idea is to propose a linear convection-diffusion wave as the decay profile so as to approximate the limiting behavior as x approaches infinity. The resulting nonlinear system then converges to the linear profile under certain smallness condition of the initial data and perturbation of the original system. We thus show that the evolution equations may be viewed as the composition of a linear diffusion wave and of a parabolic system which converges even faster.
In this talk, we present an age-structured model of malaria transmission. We first introduce the basic reproduction ratio for this model and then show that the disease-free periodic state is globally asymptotically stable when this ratio is less than one, and there exists at least one positive periodic state and the disease persists when it is greater than one. We further use these analytic results to study the malaria transmission cases in KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa, to determine how well they represent the biological system and, consequently, how useful their predictions are. Some sensitivity analysis of the basic reproduction ratio is performed, and in particular, the potential impact of climate change on seasonal transmission and populations at risk of the disease is analyzed.
This is joint work with Yijun Lou.
Usually the network models do not involve demographical dynamics. In this talk, I will introduce the generalized epidemic models for modeling infectious diseases spreading in complex networks. We will incorporate demographics and random mixing in to the modeling. The basic reproduction number will be calculated in terms of conditional probability for the correlated network models. The stationary state(s) will be calculated, we will also discuss their local and global asymptotic stability when they exist. Examples of application, including application to the modeling of HIV/AIDS will be presented.
This is a joint work with Professor Zhen Jin.
We are concerned with the dynamics of a class of delay reaction diffusion equation with a parameter m. By letting m® +¥, such an equation is formerly reduced to an interval dynamical system. With the help of the famous Sarkovskii's theorem, we obtain some new yet simple sufficient conditions that assure the global stability of the delayed reaction diffusion equation with the parameter. We also give several examples to illustrate our main results.
This is a joint work with Taishan Yi.

Medicines might be needed at some point in your health care plan. Medicines may be used to:
- Keep your chronic health care problems in check.
- Keep your blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol in check.
- Treat new problems such as infections.
When used as prescribed, medicines are generally safe.
Keep a Medicine List
Keep an up-to-date medicine list with you at all times. This list should include:
- The names and doses of all medicines you are taking.
- The names and doses of any herbs, vitamins, and supplements you use.
Share your medicine list with your health care provider at all health care visits. Have your provider review your medicine list before issuing any new medicines. This may help reduce the risk of side effects and drug interactions.
If you need to go to the emergency room, be sure to bring your medicine list with you. The list will help health care providers provide you with the best care.
Use the FDA's My Medicine Record to make your medicine list. This tool allows you to document your medicine names, dosage, and more.
Once complete:
- Print the form.
- Bring the form with you to all health care appointments.
Information entered into this form is NOT stored on the FDA website or anywhere in which Lourdes can gain access. Lourdes only has access to the form and information you bring to your appointment.
Have a smartphone or tablet (e.g., iPad)?
Visit your app store to download apps to help you list your medicines and health history.
- To help keep your information safe, be sure to read any disclaimers before installing apps.
- There may be a cost to download certain apps.
Don't have a smartphone?
Use your phone's camera to take a picture of your medicine list.
Using an app or a photo will allow you to carry your medicine list with you without having to carry a piece of paper.
Please Note: Lourdes cannot access your medicine list or health information from a jump drive. Jump drives pose a risk to our computers.
Read the Label
Before you leave your provider's office, read the prescription. Ask your health care provider to tell you:
- What the medicine is for
- How it works
- How often to take it
- If food affects how you take it
- What side effects to look for
When you pick up your prescription from the pharmacy, read the label to make sure:
- The prescription is yours.
- Is your name and address on the label?
- The prescription is correct.
- If you are picking up a refill, look inside the bottle to make sure the medicine is the same as what you had taken before.
- If it does not look as you think it should, talk to the pharmacist.
- You understand the dosage instructions.
- You know the warnings written on the label.
- Some medicines can have negative interactions when taken with other medicine.
- Some medicines may have negative interactions when taken with certain foods and drinks.
- Talk to your health care provider or pharmacist about any possible interactions.
Use the Roadwise Rx website to learn about how your medicines could affect you and your ability to drive. Type the names of your medicines and the site will give you information about:
- How they will interact with each other and with certain foods.
- Side effects that could impair your driving.
Store Medicines Properly
To avoid medicine mix-ups, keep medicine stored in its package. This can help prevent you from taking the wrong medicine. It can also prevent others from accidently taking your medicines.
Be sure to store all medicine out of reach from kids and pets. Ask any guests in your home to place bags and purses that contain medicine up where kids and pets cannot get to them.
Dispose of Medicines Properly
There are several ways to properly dispose of unwanted or unused medicines:

Organ Donations
(before 2003)
Read the story. Click the "LISTEN" button at the bottom of the page to hear the story. When you are done, click the "NEXT" button.
Sometimes people get sick. Sometimes a part of their body is not working right. Sometimes these parts or organs stop working. These organs might be the heart, the liver, or the kidneys. Some sick people need a new organ to take the place of the one that is not working right.
When a person dies, some of their organs can be used in other people. The family of the dead person can choose to give the working organs to people who need them.
A senator wants to make a law that will help keep records of people who want to give their organs. He thinks it will be easier for the relatives of a person who dies to make the decision. The relatives would still have the choice whether or not to give the organs.
Good organs are needed everywhere. There are not enough organs in California.
More people need to know about the need for organs. Many of the people who need them are not white. But people from other races are not giving enough of their organs. Without enough organs from people of all races, it is hard to find organs for all people who need one.

A view from across the pond
This ruling matters, not just to the parents who brought it on their children's behalf, but because the belief in biblical literalism is on the march in America. A recent survey found only 26% of Americans believe, with Darwin, that life on earth has evolved through natural selection. Two-thirds favour the teaching of creationism alongside evolution, against which the judge ruled, while 38% think evolution should not be taught in school at all. ID has powerful adherents - including Mr Bush himself - and rich and militant supporters who will make trouble for those who hold the line on behalf of Darwin, evolution and science - no corporate sponsors came forward this year for the big Darwin exhibition now in New York, for instance.

December 1, 2010
There are a handful of bloggers who I make time to read even when I have no time. Jennifer of Perfectly Disheveled is one them. She's smart, funny and honest: the
mommy blogger awesome person trifecta. She also makes a mean latke. I know because I made them.
For Hanukkah, which starts tonight, Jennifer and I did a latke recipe swap (get my latke recipe and read about Jennifer's adventures making them on her blog). But what started as a simple recipe trade turned into much more. It became an opportunity to connect over food and family tradition, and to share stories about how food fits into our busy lives (differently for both of us). Here's how it all started:
A few months back, Jennifer shared a story about the spaces between her desire to create food memories for her young son, the reality of her insanely busy schedule (she barely has time to cook during the week) and the perception that she can't cook. It's hilarious and involves firemen storming her house. (A must-read.) Then on Thanksgiving, Jennifer tweeted a picture of the first pie she'd ever made from scratch. I remembered her post from September and got excited. And when I'm excited (you know, about food) I start thinking.
This time I got to thinking about the importance of holiday food and family tradition. I write and share recipes here week after week hoping to inspire as much home cooking as possible, but cooking most every night is just not a reality for some people. Even people who love food, who can cook, who really get it. People like Jennifer.
But everything changes during the holidays. Everyone—even people who don't normally like to cook—hits the kitchen in some way or another. It's a beautiful thing. (It is. Even if you get stuck eating your aunt's horrible fruit cake.) A thing that I want to celebrate this holiday season. And who better to start celebrating with than Jennifer. So I reached out.
Jennifer and I got to talking and she shared her Nana Jean's latke recipe. I knew before I even saw Nana's recipe that it would blow mine out of the water. It's her NANA! Plus, though my husband identifies strongly as Jewish, he was raised without Jewish holiday tradition. My young family is making up our Jewish traditions as we go and, though my latkes are really quite yummy, I'm still perfecting them.
No matter how much time I spent tweaking my latke recipe, I would never have guessed Nana Jean's secret ingredient: a dissolved vitamin C tablet. (Vitamin C?!!?) An amazing chemical reaction happens when you mix eggs with vitamin C. The eggs become thick and foamy, which helps bind and thicken the pancakes. I once tried a latke recipe that called for folding in stiff egg whites. I think that this gets at the same idea, but it worked even better and is far less work. Perhaps there is another reason why vitamin C makes these latkes so good. All I know is that they are some of the best I've ever tried.
Jennifer also shared a little bit about her Nana Jean, a woman who Jennifer clearly admires. Who wouldn't?! At 80-years-old, Jean is a vibrant member of her community. (Apparently, she's one of the most popular ladies at Leisure World!) Jean was a professor of early childhood development and is still an active artist who has shown at many galleries (look at Jean's art—beautiful!). She is also a tremendous cook also known for her brisket, chocolate chip cookies and cheesy noodles.
I love Nana! Especially given the early childhood development and cooking connection. I've never met either of them in person, but feel like Jennifer, Jean and I would make great friends. And this whole thing—pondering love, family and holiday food, reaching out to Jennifer, learning about Jean and her latkes—feels like kismet.
This is what food is about. History, connection, family, friends (old and new) and celebrating our similarities and differences. The miracles of life. Even for me, someone who thinks about food this way all of the time, the holidays are a wonderful reminder of this. During this time of year, food takes its rightful place in our life: right smack dab in the center. Conjuring memories, creating new ones and bringing us together the way these latkes brought me together with Jennifer and her Nana Jean.
Happy Hanukkah. Enjoy!
Nana Jean's Potato Latkes
makes about 30 pancakes
(can be served to kids 6+ mos)*
1 vitamin C tablet
2 1/2 lbs baking potatoes
1/2 onion
2 lg eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp flour or matzoh meal (Jennifer uses 1 Tbsp of each)
vegetable oil
1. In a small bowl, dissolve vitamin C tablet with 2 tablespoons of water. In the meantime, shred 3/4 of the potatoes using the shredding blade of food processor; set aside in a large bowl.
2. Switch to the chop blade of your food processor and chop onion and remainder of potatoes. Add to the shredded potatoes.
3. Add dissolved vitamin C to the beaten eggs. Mix the combination into the potatoes, then add flour and/or matzoh meal, salt and baking powder. Mix well to combine.
4. In large skillet, heat 1/2″ oil over moderate high heat. Using a slotted spoon, place batter into hot oil and flatten lightly. (Jennifer notes that she sometimes uses a large serving spoon instead of a slotted one, which works even though the liquid doesn't drain.) Fry until golden brown on both sides, turning only once. Be careful not to crowd pancakes in pan. Remove pancakes to baking trays covered with brown paper. You can also dab the tops with paper towels.
You can serve these immediately, store for a day or two in the refrigerator or freeze them. If freezing, make sure to put the cakes in the freezer in single layers. Don't pile up until completely frozen. To reheat, bake in a 450 degree oven for 5-10 minutes or until crisp and bubbling.
*Note from One Hungry Mama: As far as ingredients and texture (at least the mashed inside), these can easily be shared with kids 6+ mos. Some may want to avoid feeding fried food of any kind to such young eaters. I certainly would have skipped it with my first son, though I would have happily shared this with my second son at 8 months old as a one-time-per-year holiday treat.
Stacie, you are a delight and clearly an amazing cook. This has been so fun. Happy Hanukkah!
xo Jenny

Designing of End-winding Corona Protection of Generators by Help of SimulationM. Wei[1], S. Grossman[1], J. Speck[1]
[1]Institute of Electrical Power Systems and High Voltage Engineering, Technische Universität Dresden, Dresden, Germany
The job of designing end-winding corona protection (ECP) system is one of the very important and complex phases for insulation configuration of high voltage rotating machines. This complexity stems on one hand from the highly nonlinear characteristics of the ECP material and on the other hand from the coupled multiphysics phenomena of the involved performance evaluation. Simulation based ECP design is considered as a time-saving approach and finite element method was adopted in order to understand and solve this problematic. In this work a simulation tool with COMSOL Multiphysics was developed to calculate the electrical-thermal behavior of the ECP system. Compare to experimental approach, design process is simplified and the results are presented intuitively. 2D and 3D modeling were applied.

I am trying to integrate a check box, so that the user can opt-in to my MailChimp newsletter, into the Contact Form 7.
I used this tutorial : http://www.silenceit.ca/2011/02/28/how-to-integrate-mailchimp-with-contact-form-7
Everything works (sends the data to the email address, and also sends data to mailchimp) But the confirmation dialog never shows up. Only a red box. The function works perfectly though. I think it is because contact form 7 was updated since that blog post.
If anyone can help. PLEASE Let me know.

Wired magazine was first published in 1993. Built to cover new technology and, especially, the web as it developed in the frenzied late 1990s tech bubble, the magazine has always been a leader in the discussion of how best to monetize new media.
Except when it came to itself, apparently.
The magazine only gets half its ad sales revenue from online ads.And that was just this year. Usually, the magazine gets most of its ad dollars from print.
The majority of sales, until 2012, has always come from old fashioned printed page ads, according to Ad Age.
The web only reached sales parity at Wired because print had a lousy year, Ad Age notes. Wired magazine's ad pages actually declined 5.7%, although publisher Howard Mittman says dollar sales were flat.
Even Wired's digital ad sales are old fashioned. Tablet advertising (supposedly the savior of the online magazine business) is only 10 percent of digital revenue. About 90 percent comes from web display.

DERBY, Conn. - Ten members of the Yale lightweight crew team received IRA All-Academic Team recognition Tuesday, as part of a campaign to honor the nation's brightest collegiate rowers. Recipients include six members from the graduating Class of 2013: David Bloom, William Ferraro, Greg Hausheer, Patrick O'Keefe, Thomas Swartz and Christopher Vasseur. Also recognized are four rising seniors, namely Joseph Hanlon, Josh Mann, Matthew O'Donoghue and Ilana Usiskin.
Selected candidates have demonstrated their abilities both in the classroom and on the water; nominees must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.35 or above and win a varsity letter. Freshman rowers are ineligible for selection. A total of 202 athletes were selected from 26 different IRA-member institutions.
Head coach Andy Card outlined the importance of academics to the culture of his team.
"This is what is great about Yale and Y150: you can hold yourself to high standards both individually in academics and in a team setting on the water," said Card. "Not everyone makes the list, but those who do are special."
The announcement caps a successful academic year for the Y150. In May, O'Keefe received the prestigious Kiphuth Award, awarded to the two male and female student-athletes who rank highest in scholarship and have earned two varsity awards. In June, Swartz was one of 10 Yale athletes to earn Spring Academic All-Ivy Recognition.
More information regarding the IRA All-Academic Team can be found on the ECAC website, found here.

US Airways Flight 1549 Crew and Christopher Kraft Honored with the National Air and Space Museum's 2010 Trophy Awards
The 2010 Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum Trophy will be awarded this year to the flight crew of US Airways Flight 1549 and to Christopher C. Kraft Jr., NASA's first flight director for human spaceflight. The US Airways crew will receive the Trophy for Current Achievement and Kraft will receive it for Lifetime Achievement. They will be presented their awards April 28.
Established in 1985, the award recognizes outstanding achievements in the fields and history of aerospace science and technology. As in past years, Trophy winners receive a miniature version of "The Web of Space," a sculpture by artist John Safer.
"The annual Trophy awards are the National Air and Space Museum's highest honor; they recognize both past and present achievements in aviation and space technology," said Wayne Clough, Secretary of the Smithsonian. "This year's recipients have demonstrated courage, conviction and dedication—setting an example for all to follow."
"The winners of the 2010 Trophy Awards demonstrate that training and teamwork are the key to successful outcomes," said Gen. John R. "Jack" Dailey, director of the museum. "Lifetime Achievement winner Chris Kraft's most important contribution to manned spaceflight is his origination of the concept of a Mission Control Center, and the Current Achievement winners, US Airways crew 1549, showed the world how to react under stress; their competence in the face of danger is an inspiring example."
This year, for the first time, the museum will host an online conference with the 2010 Trophy winners, which will allow the general public, teachers and students to interact with the award recipients and Smithsonian experts. Participants will be able to submit questions in advance via e-mail or in real time during the program. The conference is free but registration is required; for more information about the schedule and registration, go to: http://www.nasm.si.edu/events/eventDetail.cfm?eventID=2003.
2010 Trophy Award Winners and Categories
The Current Achievement Trophy will be awarded to Capt. Chesley B. Sullenberger III and the flight crew of US Airways Flight 1549: first officer, Jeffrey B. Skiles; flight attendants: Sheila Dail, Donna Dent and Doreen Welsh. This flight crew performed exceptionally Jan. 15, 2009, when their Airbus A320 jetliner became disabled over New York City after flying through a flock of Canada geese. Capt. Sullenberger masterfully guided the powerless aircraft to an emergency "landing" on the Hudson River, and the crew quickly and safely evacuated all 150 passengers and themselves. The successful end to US Airways Flight 1549 without fatalities lasted only a few minutes, but this heroic achievement exemplified the value of training, experience and professionalism in commercial aviation.
The Lifetime Achievement Trophy will be presented to Kraft, NASA's first flight director for human spaceflight. His long and distinguished career of technical and managerial achievements began in 1944 when he joined the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics at Langley Field, Va., until it was absorbed into NASA in 1958. That year he joined the NASA Space Task Group, charged with sending American astronauts into space. Appointed as flight director, Kraft shaped the character of Mission Control. He was on duty in Houston during the dramatic Gemini and Apollo flights of the 1960s and early 1970s. In 1972 he became director of the Manned Spacecraft Center (Johnson Space Center), a post he held during the formative years of the Space Shuttle until his retirement in 1982 to become an aerospace consultant.
More information about the National Air and Space Museum Trophy and a complete list of past winners are available at http://www.nasm.si.edu/research/aero/trophy/nasm.cfm.
The National Air and Space Museum building on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., is located at Sixth Street and Independence Avenue S.W. The museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center is located in Chantilly, Va., near Washington Dulles International Airport. Both facilities are open daily from 10 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. (closed Dec. 25). Admission is free, but there is a $15 fee for parking at the Udvar-Hazy Center.

Sony is sandwiching Uncharted 3's November 1 release between a brand-new novel and a six-issue comic book series, delving deeper into Drake's fiction than ever before.
Drake's new adventures begin on October 4 with the release of Uncharted: The Fourth Labyrinth, a novel by Christopher Golden, the ridiculously prolific writer suspense, horror, and fantasy writer. The book doesn't seem to be tied to any of the games specifically, rather telling a standalone adventure with Naughty Dog's familiar cast. From the back of the book:
Nathan Drake, treasure hunter and risk taker, has been called to New York City by the man who taught him everything about the "antiquities acquisition business." Victor Sullivan needs Drake's help. Sully's old friend, a world-famous archaeologist, has just been found murdered in Manhattan. Dodging assassins, Drake, Sully, and the dead man's daughter, Jada Hzujak, race from New York to underground excavations in Egypt and Greece. Their goal: to unravel an ancient myth of alchemy, look for three long-lost labyrinths, and find the astonishing discovery that got Jada's father killed. It appears that a fourth labyrinth was built in another land and another culture-and within it lies a key to unmatched wealth and power. An army of terrifying lost warriors guards this underground maze. So does a monster. And what lies beyond-if Drake can live long enough to reach it-is both a treasure and a poison, a paradise and a hell.
Then DC Comics follows up the release of the novel and the game with a six-issue comic book mini-series set before the events of Among Thieves and Drake's Deception. Written by Joshua Williamson with interiors by Sergio Sandoval, the series will see Nathan Drake taking a journey to the center of the Earth to find the legendary Amber Room, hidden by Sir Richard Byrd in the fabled city of Agartha.
If all goes well the novel should keep fans steeped in Drake leading up to the Uncharted 3 release, and the comic book will help them get their Drake fix once they've played through the game's story. Sounds like they've got this all planned out.
Coming Soon: UNCHARTED: The Fourth Labyrinth and UNCHARTED from DC Comics [PlayStation Blog]

Aquarium Invertebrates: Aiptasia, dinoflagellate algae and cyanobacteria - a three-way symbiosis?
Aiptasia are tropical sea anemones which are commonly found in marine aquaria. Usually introduced as hitchhikers on live rock, they rapidly colonize the aquarium due to their prolific growth. Although Aiptasia may settle on any available substrate, chemical signals may attract them to specific microhabitats. In this article I report on the settlement preference of Aiptasia for cyanobacterial mats, a finding which suggests a three-way symbiosis between sea anemones, dinoflagellate algae and bacteria.
Feature Article: Algae: Sometimes Both Beautiful and Useful, Part 2
Although a tank with temperate marine macro algae as the primary focus may be unheard of in the aquarium hobby, all of the equipment required is readily available, and as you may have noticed, many of the techniques involved are strikingly similar to common reef-keeping techniques already being employed.
Beginner's Column: Filtration
Terry discusses common types of filtration found in reef tanks.
Feature Article: Algae: Sometimes Both Beautiful and Useful
Too often marine macro algae are only considered to be part of an aquarium's filtration system.
Evaluation of live food versus artificial food on the growth of juvenile Pocillopora damicornis cultured from planulae
The following is a report on the first experiment where Lee examined the effects of different foods on the growth of juvenile corals.
Lateral Lines: Reef Aquarium Filtration Part III: Natural and Artificial
This article is a continuation describing some of the more philosophical filtration practices and concepts.
Product Review: An Early Warning Device for Coral Bleaching?: The Spectrum CM1000 Chlorophyll Meter
Based on technology developed by NASA, Spectrum Technologies markets a 'chlorophyll meter' - the FieldScout CM1000. This instrument is a simple point-and-shoot device.
Lateral Lines: Reef Aquarium Filtration Part II: Recycling and Removing
In this month's column, Adam continues to discuss filtration and nutrient export.
Hot Tips: Algae Control
In this month's column, our readers discuss how they control algae in their systems.
Lateral Lines: Macroalgae vs. Mangrove Growth and Nutrient Uptake
The author's viewpoint following this study is that mangrove plants may be useful to aquariums but in terms of nutrient uptake they are far inferior to macroalgae growth.
Feature Article: Silica In Reef Aquariums
Why would I recommend dosing silica? Largely because creatures in our tanks use it, the concentrations in our tanks (at least in mine) are below natural levels, and the sponges, mollusks, and diatoms may not be getting enough to thrive.
Chemistry And The Aquarium: Iron: A Look At Organisms Other Than Macroalgae
I do believe, however, that the benefits outweigh the risks when one is growing macroalgae. To date there have been no claims of a demonstrated problem in a reef tank from reasonable iron additions.

SALEM, Va. – Seventh-ranked and top-seeded Roanoke College broke open a 2-2 game with a three-goal run in the second quarter en route to posting a 10-9 victory over 12th-ranked and third-seeded Washington and Lee in the ODAC Men's Lacrosse Championship Game on Sunday afternoon at Kerr Stadium.
The Generals (15-4) knotted the game at 2-2 with 2:55 left in the opening quarter when junior midfielder Joe Wood (Bronxville, N.Y./Bronxville) scored unassisted on an extra-man advantage. However, the Maroons (15-3) seized control of the contest with their aforementioned run that began just seven seconds into the second period. Senior attackman Richard Lachlan scored all three goals in a span of 4:06, the last occurring man-up with 10:47 left in the half for a 5-2 lead.
Senior midfielder Cooper Brown (Baltimore, Md./Gilman) scored a pair of goals in the final 8:08 of the half, and sophomore attackman Cameron Dabir (Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich./Culver Academy) scored a goal between a pair of Maroon tallies as Roanoke carried a 7-5 advantage into the half.
The Maroons pushed back out to a four-goal lead (9-5) early in the third quarter on scores by first-year attackman Tyler McWilliams and senior midfielder Mike Hayden, but the Generals climbed back to within three goals when Dabir scored unassisted at the 3:33 mark of the third quarter.
W&L sliced the RC lead to 9-7 when sophomore attackman Tyler Goldman (New York, N.Y./Loomis Chaffee) scored off an assist from Brown just 38 seconds into the final period. The Maroons made it 10-7 on a goal by first-year attackman Will Pilat at 12:58, but the Generals made a run at tying the game in the final minutes. Wood scored with 6:40 remaining and W&L made it a one-goal game (10-9) with 3:14 left when Dabir scored off a feed from Brown.
W&L received a man-up opportunity in the final two minutes, but Roanoke junior goalkeeper Charles Pease posted a save with just over a minute remaining and the Maroons possessed the ball for the rest of the game to walk away with the title.
Dabir led the Generals with four goals and one assist, scoring his 100th career point in the process. He now has 103 career points. Brown totaled two goals and two assists, and Wood finished with a pair of goals. Sophomore Warren Berenis (Ocoee, Fla./Lake Highland Prep) played the duration in goal and made nine saves. Brown, Berenis and senior defenseman Joe LaSala (Wilton, Conn./Wilton) were all named to the all-tournament team.
Lachlan paced the Maroons with four goals, while Hayden had two goals and three assists. Pilat added one goal and three assists, and Pease totaled 14 saves in goal.
Washington and Lee will now wait to find out it if will receive an at-large bid to the NCAA Division III Tournament which begins with the first round on Wednesday. The field will be announced this evening at 10:00 pm.

Hello Ladies,
I hope this letter finds you well. I think I have recovered from the whirlwind of activities that was Barnard reunion 2010. The availability of The Diana Center for many events was a treasure. After a couple of years of "creating" spaces for reunion events because of construction, having the center and a scaffold-free campus really enhanced the reunion experience.
Some event formats such as the awards presentation were changed and worked well; the Alumnae Association's close working relationship with the Office of Career Development was highlighted by the variety of career-oriented workshops on the program; and the buzz about the opening of the Athena Center for the Leadership Studies and the new course offerings open to all women was electric. Most importantly, i saw a tapestry of women—all ages, races, sizes, and shapes—laughing, hugging old friends, and talking a mile a minute about what's been happening in their lives for the past five, 15, 25, or 50 years! None of this would have been possible without the careful planning of the Reunion Committee, the staff of alumnae affairs and a legion of students who made sure that everything happened according to plan.
President Spar announced at reunion that Dorothy Urman Denburg '70, dean of the College, is moving into a new role. She is now Barnard's vice president for college relations and will oversee Alumnae Affairs, Career Development, and Pre-College Programs. Although Dorothy's undergraduate days and my own overlapped, we didn't know each other then. However, like many other alumnae, we have gotten to know each other as more mature adults and find ourselves with so many common experiences, goals, and values that our mutual respect and friendship has continued to develop. In her various roles at the College, Dorothy has relationships with generations of Barnard women creating and supporting programs that have made the body of Barnard alumnae engaged and influential in their communities around the world. The AABC board of directors and alumnae affairs are looking forward to our new relationship with an old friend.
Some dedicated volunteers will meet over the summer to update the strategic plan, orient the new committee chairs, and plan for Leadership assembly (October 7-8). In preparation for the new academic year, there are two things I would like you to do: 1) contact alumnae affairs if you are ready to volunteer; 2) get in touch or stay in touch with a Barnard sister. The summer seems to go so quickly, so enjoy every minute.
As ever, Frances L. Sadler '72

Clint Eastwood's wife, Dina, appears to have had a change of heart after filing for legal separation from the movie legend last month.
Us Weekly magazine has discovered that the reality TV star filed to dismiss the papers two days after she set a potential split in motion.
The couple reportedly parted ways more than a year ago, but remained "amicable" with each other, according to sources.
The actor has yet to comment on his apparent marriage crisis, but just days after filing for a separation, Dina defended her then-estranged husband, stating, "I don't like reading negative things about Clint. He is a wonderful, good-natured, brilliant person. No matter what, I attest to that."
Eastwood has been spotted out and about with the wife of Dina's close friend, University of Hawaii basketball coach Scott Fisher.
The movie icon and Dina have been married for 17 years and have a teenage daughter.

This is totally random, but I couldn't help but be tickled by this photograph of HRH The Queen applying lipstick at the Highland Games in Scotland. I really like The Queen, she is my favourite Royal – and clearly she is a fan of bright pink lipstick and can apply without looking in a mirror!
I have no idea what lipstick that is though – it's tiny – reminds me of a Besame.
It goes to show that everyone needs a top up sometimes! And she has pretty hot legs for a 80-odd year old!

Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs confirmed Monday night that he has a torn right bicep, but emphasized he is seeking a second opinion on the extent of the injury.
When asked if he would be able to play Sunday against the Washington Redskins, Suggs told The Baltimore Sun, "We'll see, maybe. Maybe not."
Suggs' status for the next couple of games remains uncertain after he suffered the injury against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, but Ravens coach John Harbaugh said earlier Monday he is "encouraged" that the injury is not long-term.
Suggs will be further evaluated to determine the severity of the injury.
"We don't know the extent of it," Harbaugh said. "We have an idea what it is. It needs to be evaluated as far as coming back and possibly playing this week or not. We just have to see where it is at and we should know by [Tuesday] or Wednesday what it is."
It's not unheard of to play through such an injury, a couple of players including, Miami Dolphins linebacker Karlos Dansby is currently playing with a torn biceps muscle.
Playing in his sixth game since his surprisingly quick return from a torn Achilles suffered in late April, Suggs hurt his arm with a little more than 5 minutes to go in the fourth quarter and he did not return. On the play, Suggs got around the corner past right tackle Kelvin Beachum and extended his right arm in an attempt to tackle Steelers running back Isaac Redman (Bowie State). Redman ran through the arm tackle before getting stopped by Pernell McPhee for a 1-yard gain.
Clearly in pain, Suggs immediately clutched his right arm as he headed toward the sideline, where he was immediately met by head athletic trainer Mark Smith team doctor Leigh Ann Curl. The scene certainly brought back unpleasant memories for the Ravens who watched middle linebacker Ray Lewis head off the field in a similar way seven weeks earlier and later was diagnosed with a torn triceps muscle.
While Harbaugh also said that there has been no definitive word, he acknowledged that the early indications have provided at least some hope that the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year may not be out for long.
"I think we are encouraged that it may not be [long-term]," Harbaugh said. "We'll just have to see. If I knew that for sure, if I could say that for sure, I would. I just can't right now but we have some encouragement there."
Losing Suggs for any length of time would be another blow to the Ravens' defense which couldn't hold a 13-3 lead Sunday and allowed a Charlie Batch-led offense to wrack up 366 total yards. Batch, the Steelers' third-string quarterback who turns 38 on Wednesday, completed 25-of-36 passes for 276 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
Batch hit tight end Heath Miller on a 7-yard touchdown to tie the game at 20 with 7:24 left in the fourth quarter and then he led a 12-play, 61-yard drive that resulted in Shaun Suisham's game-winning, 42-yard field goal as time expired.
Before his injury, Suggs had two tackles in the game, including one for a loss, but like his teammates, he wasn't able to apply consistent pressure on Batch who was sacked only twice in 36 dropbacks.
In six games, Suggs, who the team feared was done for the season when he had Achilles surgery in May, had 19 total tackles, two sacks and four passes defended. Along with upgrading the Ravens' run defense with his ability to set the edge, Suggs, even while working his way back in shape and clearly lacking his normal explosiveness, has provided a defensive presence for a unit that has struggled for much of the season.
Asked about the impact of Suggs' potential loss, McPhee said Sunday, "We just got to man up. We've been fighting injuries all year."
The Ravens already are playing without inside linebackers Lewis and Dannell Ellerbe, along with cornerbacks Lardarius Webb and Jimmy Smith. Webb (anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus tear in left knee) is only one who is certain to be out for the rest of the season.
Lewis, whose quick return from the triceps injury mirrored Suggs' surprising comeback, potentially could practice this week but isn't eligible to play in a game until Dec. 16 against the Denver Broncos.
Ellerbe, one of the team's top tacklers who is dealing with injuries to his ankle, foot and both of his thumbs, missed Sunday's game and acknowledged that he wasn't particularly close to playing. However, Harbaugh said Monday that he's hopeful of getting him back against the Redskins.
Smith had surgery on a sports hernia about 2 1/2 weeks ago and Harbaugh said that he's making steady progress though he isn't expected to be ready by this weekend.

5 Tips for Business owners to achieve Fail proof Marketingin SEO
Many business owners, be it experienced or newfound, have had trouble to determine which marketing strategies would be best for their line of business. Thousands of Rands are often spent on billboards, magazine adverts or radio adverts, only to be futile in respect to reaching your intended target market.
This article will give you the 5 best tried and tested methods of marketing in today's fast paced world, focusing on the countless clients who all resort to the technology they have at their fingertips…
It has been proven through surveys that used the data collected from a wide array of people that over 80% of today's consumers mainly use the internet to find companies, accommodation, restaurants and just about anything they need.
Here are 5 Sure ways to Master Online Marketing:
Have a striking website!
It's sad but true that today's consumers value an online presence of any kind of business very highly. Very few families in this era are without internet in some form or another, be it a PC at home, tablets, iPads or smartphones; this has made the access to just about any information highly accessible and almost too convenient. If you need to know something, you're more than likely going to "Google" it first. The search engine that has taken over this generation is not only an amazing advancement in technology, it has revolutionised the way people obtain information.
If you don't have a website, you might as well be invisible! Take the following as an example: A family wants to book a vacation in the Lowveld but don't know which place would be the best, so they go online and type in "Accommodation in Mpumalanga"… If you don't have a website for your lodge, hotel or guesthouse, this family, along with thousands of other holiday seekers, will not even know that you exist.
Let Professionals Design it!
This brings me to the second marketing tip. It doesn't help if you have a plain one-page website with little to none interactive features or one that is not user friendly at all. Help your business to thrive by hiring professionals to build you a top of the notch website that has all the bells and whistles necessary to bring in the bacon. After all, they are the experts and know exactly what it takes to build the best kinds of websites.
One-pages might be informative or comprehensive, but the bounce rate on these websites is terrible, that's if people happen to land on them. Coming across a one-page website is already unlikely, seeing as the Google "bot" would most definitely rank bigger 5-page websites relevant to said one-pagers higher on Google's SERP (Search Engine Results Page), because the more content your website has, the more likely it is that Google will pick it up.
Sign Up for SEO!
Statistics show that most people only ever click on the links that appear on the first page of Google's SERP. In other words, if your business has plenty of competition and their websites are maintained monthly in terms of SEO (Search Engine Optimisation), the chances of your website making the first page is also highly unlikely. It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, so if you want to run with the big dogs, this is the way to go.
Online Marketing companies that focus on designing websites hardly ever builds a website without signing it up for SEO as well, after all, what's the use of owning a Porsche if no one even knows about it? Trust the true geeks with their IT knowledge of the best and most accurate programs to determine which keywords pertain best to your industry and to make sure that, if people ask Google to show them companies, hotels or restaurants in your area, your website will be on the top of the list for them to choose from.
Unique Content, Backlinks and Blogging!
Now that your clients and consumers are rolling in and business is booming, you sure want to keep it that way, so how do online marketing companies keep up the great rankings of your website? They blog. Put simply, there are dedicated copywriters at said companies trained to take the keywords specific to your website and write articles wherein these words appear, then they publish it online, either on your website or elsewhere, incorporating links to your site in the article which keeps directing internet traffic to your site, so you just need to relax and watch your business bloom.
Backlinking is another sure way of sending traffic to your website, but there's a right and a wrong way to do it. If someone offers you an insane amount of traffic for a dirt cheap price, you can be sure that they'll be practicing what we call "Black Hat SEO". It might work for a week or so, but it's not good for your website, which means it's not good for your business. Google is smarter than you think and will penalise your website the minute it picks up these illegal links; same goes for duplicate content, so rather trust the qualified copywriters to write 100% unique content that's not generated by a robot.
Share & Socialise!
The term "Facebook" might be an annoyance in your life, but platforms like Facebook, Twitter and even Google Plus are insanely helpful when it comes to increasing positive marketing statistics. These types of Social Media Platforms are visited by thousands of people on a daily basis and making your business visible on these platforms could mean the difference between being "on the map" or not.
Let's say that you already have a Facebook account for your company but you don't have time to do the up-keeping, well have no fear – professional online marketing companies will take on a good amount of your social media as a part of the SEO package, and if you would prefer to write your own blogs, they'll give you professional social media training to give you the best tips on how to do it in the most effective way.

I went through all the WotLK dungeon loot tables and got my shopping list set. I don't plan on spending much time in dungeons while leveling which means the loot I pick up on the way to 80 will be mostly green quest rewards so I will probably hit 80 wearing much of the same gear I have at 70. Based on my list though, there are only 4-5 pieces of level 70 gear that will see much/any use at 80. The list I put together is what I think will work the best for jumping into a raid and performing well as soon as possible.
I think the best helm out there is Arcane-Shielded Helm which drops from Grand Magus Telestra in heroic The Nexus. The second best option is Helm of the Ley Guardian which drops from Ley Guardian Eregos in The Oculus. Ley Guardian is a really good helm and it is probably better if you are struggling to be crit immune because it has nearly twice as much defense, but its big downfall is the lack of a meta socket.
Chained Military Gorget is the best neck piece and it is costs 25 badges of heroism. There are a few drops from Naxx10 that are sidegrades from the gorget (Medallion of the Disgraced and Amulet of Autopsy), but there isn't a real upgrade until Heritage and Boundless Ambition in naxx25. I also like Burning Skull Pendant which is a BoE item that drops from trash in heroic Gun'drak if for some reason you can't spare the badges for the Gorget.
There are a lot of options for shoulders but I think Iron Dwarf Smith Pauldrons (General Bjarngrim in heroic Halls of Lightning) are the winner. If you have enough defense and want a more threat oriented piece, then I think Pauldrons of the Lightning Revenant (Ionar in Halls of Lightning) are a good option.
I think Cloak of the Enemy (Stoutbeard in heroic The Nexus) is an excellent choice. Tattered Castle Drape (BoE from trash in Utgarde Keep) is another very strong option, but the hit rating and shield block value cancel each other out in terms of threat generation so you are looking at 11 strength versus 13 defense and I think the defense wins that battle. But, if you are easily crit immune already, the Tattered Castle Drape will give you a little more bang for your buck. Cloak of Flowing Command (Salramm the Fleshcrafter in Stratholme) is a decent option but I personally have never been a big fan of cloaks (or rings for that matter) with bonus armor on them. I haven't done the math, but I would guess you get more effective health out of the 27 more stamina on the other two cloaks than the 359 more armor on this one.
There are a couple different options for chestpiece depending on what kind of stat distribution you are looking for. Sun-Emblazoned Chestplate (Sjonnir in heroic Halls of Stone) has a ton of defense as well as a healthy amount of hit and it has a socket. Ziggurat Imprinted Chestguard (Tharon'ja in heroic Drak'tharon Keep) has a little less defense and no hit, but you pick up a bunch of parry if you are short on avoidance. Breastplate of Solemn Council is purchasable at revered from Wyrmrest Accord and offers a nice option if you have bad luck with other drops and since expertise is hard to find on tanking gear at this level, this item is especially attractive. I think the socket on Sun-Emblazoned Chest gives it the edge, but just barely. Engraved Chestplate of Eck (Eck the Ferocious in heroic Gun'drak) is a dps item, but if you are all set on defense and want an aggressive chest piece, this fits the bill with a lot of strength, a lot of hit, and two sockets. I personally am probably going to get some use out of Breastplate of Agony's Aversion because the three sockets make it pretty versatile and the strong itemization make it a viable option.
There aren't a lot of good options for bracers. The only good defensive bracers are Bindings of Dark Will (Salramm in heroic Stratholme). If you want a more aggressive setup, Bands of the Stoneforge (Sjonnir in heroic Halls of Stone) and Golden Limb Bands (Krik'thir in heroic Azjol-Nerub) do a good job. I think Bindings of Dark Will are better than the T6 bracers, but not by enough to make me want to put in a lot of time to get them.
Horn-Tipped Gauntlets (Gal'darah in heroic Gun'drak) are the best option for gloves out there with a healthy amount of defense and gobs of expertise. Gauntlets of the Water Revenant (Ichoron in heroic Violet Hold) are a good second choice. Giant Sized Gauntlets are purchasable at revered from the Frenzyheart Tribe and are good if you are looking for some extra avoidance. Borderland Fortress Grips (Felmyst in Sunwell Plateau) fall behind a bit, but the 2 sockets make them a reasonable alternative if you've got them and are looking to cut down your gear farming.
There are a few good choices for belts. If you want a strong defensive item, Ancient Aligned Girdle (Anub'Arak in heroic Azjol-Nerub) is probably for you. If you want to get a little more aggressive then Skadi's Iron Belt (Skadi the Ruthless in heroic Utgarde Pinnacle) is a good option and the socket means you get some versatility. If you want to get really aggressive and you are already crit immune, Flame Bathed Girdle (Keristrasza in heroic The Nexus) is an excellent choice. Waistguard of Living Iron is available from the badge vendor, but it really is not significantly better than the other options, only spend the 40 badges if you have terrible luck with drops.
Bolstered Legplates (Cyanigosa in heroic Violet Hold) are excellent and the huge amount of defense on this item means you can take liberties in other slots and stay crit immune. If you want some more avoidance though, Legplates of the Infinite Drakonid (Chrono-Lord Epoch in heroic Stratholme) are a solid choice. If you want a very aggressive piece, Staggering Legplates (Ingvar in heroic Utgarde Keep) would be pretty good even without any sockets, but the 2 sockets make them excellent. Special Issue Legplates, purchasable at honored from the Argent Crusade are not as good as the other options, but if you have bad luck with some of the drops, these are pretty solid.
The boot selection is a little slim. Sabatons of Draconic Vigor are purchasable at revered from Wyrmrest Accord. These are probably the best boots out there as they have a lot of defense, more stamina than the other options and some hit rating which is always nice. Terrace Defense Boots(Trollgore in heroic Drak'tharon) look pretty good and they have a socket which gives them the edge over Slaughterhouse Sabatons (Meathook in normal Stratholme). There is no option if you want a pair of boots with avoidance stats on them so I will be keeping Onslaught Boots around just in case.
There are a lot of good ring options out there and they are all pretty defensively oriented. Unsmashable Heavy Band (Ingvar in heroic Utgarde Keep) is the only ring with any aggressive/tps stats on it. Keystons Great Ring (Tharon'ja in heroic Drak'tharon) is a great ring (c wut i did thur) that no tank should be without. Band of Torture (Drakos in heroic The Oculus) and Woeful Band (Maiden of Grief in heroic Halls of Stone) are good options as well. The rings are all similar in terms of stat distribution and none of them is significantly better than the other so just use whichever to you get your hands on first.
Trinkets are always a funny thing and I think Blizzard often has a hard time itemizing them appropriately, especially for tanks. Consider that one of the best melee dps trinkets comes from Gruul, the best tanking trinkets come from Karazhan and a heroic, Neltharion's Tear was a strong performer for much of the expansion and I know several healers that still use Rejuvenating Gem. There was even a quest reward trinket from the Burning Steppes that played a major role in the Moroes fight at the beginning of the expansion (Luffa, the part about bleeds cast by enemies over 60 was added in later). That said, there aren't any trinkets from the level 80 5-mans that appear to be outstanding. Essence of Gossamer (Hadronok in heroic Azjol-Nerub) has a bunch of stamina, which is always welcome, but the chance on hit effect is pretty lackluster. Lavanthor's Talisman (Lavanthor in heroic Violet Hold) looks like an updated version of the Auto-Blocker except slightly worse since the passive effect is block rating instead of block value. Seal of the Pantheon (Loken in normal Halls of Lightning) looks decent and the defense is great if you are struggling to be crit immune, but I am not particularly impressed by the 'Use' effect – its not bad, its just not quite good either. There aren't any other trinkets that seem to be designed for tanks that I noticed, but there are two more trinkets that I think could be interesting for threat generation. Depending on the proc rate and internal cooldown, Vestige of Haldor (King Ymiron in normal Utgarde Pinnacle) might be really good or it might be something that you just use for funsies. Meteorite Whetstone (King Ymiron in heroic Utgarde Pinnacle) could be the new Dragonspine Trophy which was an excellent threat trinket if you could somehow manage to get one in front of every physical dpser in the raid. I'll probably get some use out of my Commendation and my trusty Pocket Watch might even make an appearance occasionally. Trinkets never really go out of style, you should think long and hard about ever getting rid of one.
Valor Medal of the First War is a waste of badges. It may seem like a new version of Moroes' Lucky Pocket Watch, but its not, it's a piece of garbage. The pocket watch was an 'oh shit' button because the use effect was very powerful – almost 16% dodge – but it only lasted for a short period of time. The Valor Medal's use effect lasts twice as long as the Pocket Watch, but it is only half as effective – 7.5% dodge. If there is a fight where you need to be able to get 7.5% dodge on demand, save your badges and use the Pocket Watch, which gives just slightly less dodge rating – 300 vs 335.
Shields and weapons on the other hand are pretty much the opposite end of the spectrum from trinkets – 9 times out of 10 the item with a higher ilevel is just plain better. Red Sword of Courage (King Ymiron in heroic Utgarde Pinnacle) blows the competition out of the water. The Interrogator (Drakos in heroic The Oculus) is the next best option followed by Eternally Folded Blade (Volkhan in normal Halls of Lightning). Royal Crest of Lordaeron (Mal'ganis in heroic Strat) is the top shield but if you are horde and can't bear the thought of carrying around Alliance paraphenalia, Crygil's Discarded Plate Panel is available for 35 badges of heroism and has almost exactly the same stat distribution. The next best option is Bulwark of the Noble Protector (Keristrasza in heroic The Nexus). After those three shields, there is a serious drop in quality. For a ranged weapon, I like Hardened Vrykul Throwing Axe (General Bjarngrim in normal Halls of Lightning) and Tracker's Balanced Knives (BoE from trash in heroic Utgarde Pinnacle) but the best option is Stolen Vrykul Harpoon which is a reputation reward from the Frenzyheart Tribe and is purchasable at revered.
Don't get fooled by pretty purple pixels. Most of the stuff I am recommending is blue/superior but the ilevel is 200 which means they have the same stat budget as Naxx-10 loot. Just because something is epic doesn't necessarily mean it is better. With that in mind, I didn't bother to look at any of the craftable gear because it is going to be crazy expensive (especially for the first few months of the expansion) and not significantly better than gear you can get for free if you put a little effort into grinding out heroics.

Timeline of the United States' Constitutional Law
June 30, 2017
Bringing together a host of resources, Oxford University Press has created a timeline detailing the history of the United States' constitutional law.
Reaching back to the documents that influenced the drafting of the Constitution of the United States, such as the Magna Carta and the English Bill of Rights of 1689, it takes you on a tour of the formation of the United States of America and its original governing document, the Articles of Confederation. Further to this, it details the formation and development of the Constitution of the United States, from the drafting of the original seven articles of the constitution in 1787 to the 27 amendments that have been ratified. It also covers other essential documents, such as the constitutions of each of the 50 states and selected landmark Supreme Court cases, without which any history of US constitutional law would be incomplete.
To provide additional information about these topics, the timeline incorporates links to freely available content from various OUP online resources.
