Willig has done it again, pulling the readers of her fourth historical fiction novel into Napoleonic England with grace and skill. Not only have Willig's writing style and plot formation improved drastically since her first book, but the sub-plot of Eloise Kelly enriches the story, rather than takes away from the plot (as in the first novel). After enjoying each of the Pink Carnation books, I can safely proclaim myself a loyal fan of Willig. I can't wait for more!
I skipped this entry in the series originally because I wasn't as interested in Mary and Vaughn. I have revised my opinion. True, their initial attraction isn't as intense or exciting to me, but that's because I'm a fan of star-crossed lovers. Two people that dislike each other, but only to hide their true feelings. Or when one person is madly in love but thinks the other person couldn't care less, except, of course, they do. Mary and Vaughn exhibit none of these behaviors, as is true to their characters. They are cynical and bitter, they have seen love stripped of illusions, and they are all too familiar with lust. When they realize that they are attracted to each other, they don't engage in much subterfuge. Although their initial courtship was different from others in the series, it was exactly as it should have been. Mary and Vaughn are almost the complete opposite of other heroes and heroines in the Pink Carnation series, and they would naturally act in a contrary manner. In fact, the whole tone of this novel is much darker and more sarcastic in humor than others. Also, after their first kiss, the author rewards us with romantic tension of the sort I crave, as Vaughn pretends complete disinterest in Mary, and Mary decides to catch Mr. St. George as her husband. Despite their intentions, the two are inescapably drawn together, and life contrives to provide a happy ending for the pair.Oh yes, there is a plot besides the romance, of course. The Black Tulip is still on the loose, and the Pink Carnation has asked Vaughn to use Mary as a decoy, a new tulip in his collection. The plan succeeds, but the spy is not so trustful, sensing a plot, and asks Mary to prove her loyalty by killing Vaughn. She attempts to stop him, showing the Black Tulip that her involvement is just a ruse, and risks her own life to help Vaughn after the Tulip successfully shoots him through the shoulder. The action is as fast-paced and fun as I've come to expect from the Carnation series, and blends with the romance to create a tidy little package of reading escapism. In spite of my first impressions, I very much enjoyed this novel. It is not one of my favorites, but it is still a delightful read.
All in all, a good story. A little light on chapters covering the modern-day drama between Colin and Eloise - when will they get their own installment?! - but as far as history goes, this one certainly fits in well with the series. Not being big on British history, the plot reveal near the end confused me...but still a good read.
I've always enjoyed the mixture of a modern story with a historical romance in these books.Although I like reading it, the current day plot is getting a bit thin-- Eloise Kelly is an American in England, working on research for her dissertation on spies in the Napoleonic wars. She's hit a vein of useful papers, and met a very interesting man, who happens to be guardian of said papers. Romance and research! A villain was introduced in this volume, which adds promise for the future installments.The meat of the book is the historical story. Until now, these have featured typical regency characters-- the woman with flaws that are modern day virtues, the men who are strong but ready to fall in love.Mary Allsworthy is beautiful, and really a bit of a bitch. She knows what she wants, and figures out what she needs to do to get it. She isn't mean-spirited, but other people aren't really a priority with her.Lord Vaughn isn't a particularly nice guy. In fact, those somewhat in the know are suspicious of whether he is in league with the Black Tulip, an infamous French spy.As you would expect, they both end up involved in the spy ring, and once you've been involved in a government plot together, can true love be far behind? Of course,there are complications, and of course they explain why Vaughn has become the unpleasant fellow he seems to be.I like the historical notes at the end. Of course, the author could be making those up as well, and I'd never know.An entertaining adventure with a slightly unusual romance, and a modern day framing. It works for me.

Dog won't lift or wag tail
I noticed last nite my dog is holding her tail close to her body. She is not wagging it. The same thing today when I got home from work. I can lift it and it doesn't seem to hurt, but then she turns around and tries to lick it. She stays in the back yard--doexn't get in the street. No other strange behaviors.
Here is one possibility: http://www.woodhavenlabs.com/limbertail-update704.html

Past mass extinction events linked to climate change
Rhett A. Butler, mongabay.com
March 29, 2006
Most mass extinctions were caused by gradual climate change rather than catastrophic asteroid impacts says Peter Ward, a paleontologist at the University of Washington in Seattle, in an upcoming article in New Scientist magazine.
As evidence, Ward cites new research that suggests the Permian extinction of 250 million years ago was caused by huge volcanic eruptions in Siberia which triggered catastrophic climate change and wiped out 95 percent of lifeforms in the world's oceans and about 75 percent of land creatures. Further, says Ward, there is evidence that the Triassic extinction involved higher temperatures. Examining carbon isotopes in rocks dating from the Triassic extinction of 200 million years ago, Ward and his colleagues found that "the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was up to 100 times what it is today, and that the levels fluctuated wildly over tens of thousands of years." This suggests a gradual increase in global temperatures doomed many of Earth's species to extinction. "The Triassic event isn't something that happened overnight," says Ward.
Ward's conclusion has significant implication in today's world where climbing carbon dioxide levels are producing higher temperatures.
Too late for frogs? Mounting evidence links the global disappearance of amphibians to changes in climate.
While Ward is well-respected in his field, not everyone agrees with his interpretation of ancient data. Many paleontologists still finger planetary impact as the primary culprit of past mass extinctions.
Regardless, it is evident that we are currently in the midst of a sixth great extinction event. One that is almost entirely of our making. Habitat destruction, introduction of alien species, and overexploitation has resulted in the documented extinction of more than 800 species since 1500, although the actual toll will never be known. Presently. extinctions are running at 100 to 1,000 times the background rate, according to the U.N.'s Millennium Ecosystem Assessment.
Past extinctions have shown it takes at least 5 million years to restore biodiversity to the level equal to that before the extinction event. Our actions today will determine whether Earth will be biologically impoverished for the 500 trillion or more humans that may inhabit the Earth during that future period.
The upcoming article appears in the April 1, 2006 edition of New Scientist. Zeeya Merali is the author.

Ethiopia will not be ready to open up financial and other essential sectors to gain World Trade Organization (WTO) accession until 2015, according to the Ministry of Trade.
This is in contrast with the 2011 Growth and the Transformation Plan (GTP), which promised the finalization of accession within its four-year term.
Geremew Ayalew, director general of trade relations and negotiations directorate at the Ministry of Trade (MoT), confirmed that the government targeted WTO accession in the GTP. However that is not going to happen, he said, as the government prioritized sectors such as telecom, finance and energy, meaning that opening up is not likely to happen until the end of 2015. Currently Ethiopia is in phase four of responding to the questions of the negotiating countries.
Canada, the US, and some European countries posed questions following the goods offer Ethiopia submitted a year ago. The Republic of South Korea joined the group for the fourth round, where some 168 questions were leveled at Ethiopia. Geremew argues that negotiations for WTO accession remain wide open, and determining when Ethiopia will secure its position with the organization is difficult to predict. He added that being a member of the WTO is not necessarily an attractive opportunity, and it could pose significant challenges if correct preparations are neglected. Ethiopia is negotiating on the import and export tariffs of goods and services with the WTO member states.
The current tariff measures at 35 percent, but after accession that figure may double depending on the predictability of the market. The goods offer is a document that details the amount of goods and services Ethiopia is willing to trade among the WTO members. It also is a document that states some 5,000 or so products of Ethiopia to which the country is willing to trade, based on market access negotiations.
The service offer is the most debated and challenging to Ethiopia, where some strategic government sectors are included in the accession process. The country is expected to provide the details of the service offer during the current Ethiopian fiscal year. In related news, a National Enquiry Point (NEP) is to be established as an information center to serve the WTO accession, together with local and international business entities. The NEP is to become the central database of Ethiopia, where essential information on trade and related sector enquires are to be facilitated across the country. The Ethiopian Standards Agency is the focal organization undertaking the upcoming launch of NEP operations.

Waldorf faculty members are a varied and dedicated group of individuals. They have come to the school with valuable life experience in fields outside of teaching, such as art, music, business, theater and sports. Many have taught previously in the public school system or in other private schools. Each of our teachers has participated in formal training at a recognized Waldorf teacher training center in the United States or in Europe.
In all Waldorf schools, a class teacher works with the same group of children for a number of years — ideally from first through eighth grade — monitoring each child's academic achievement and striving to help each student achieve their full potential. As the teachers' knowledge of the children deepens through the years, they are in an ideal position to contribute to the healthy intellectual, emotional and social development of each child. Through the challenge of teaching a new curriculum each year, the class teachers bring interest and enthusiasm to their work, and as students observe the teacher personalizing the world of knowledge, they grow in confidence that they, too, can master the many subjects before them.

Wipe that smile off your face!
Henry goes to confession and says, "Bless me Father, for I have sinned. Last night I was with seven different women."
the priest tells Henry, "Take seven lemons, squeeze them into a glass and drink the juice without pausing"
"Will that cleanse me of my sins, Father?" Henry asks.
"No," replies the priest. "But it'll wipe that smug grin off your face."

If you're reading this, then you either missed the Rapture or, because we're all still here, it just didn't happen. Sorry, Harold Camping. We have to wait a little while longer.
If Facebook feeds are any indication, everyone finds the false-start Rapture pretty funny—i.e. "Happy Raptur ..." and "Post-Rapture BBQ about to begin." Cathy Grossman writes that today has turned into a day of joking about "Apocalypse No."
The joke appears to be on Harold Camping and his earnest followers. After all, if you're reading this, you're still standing squarely on earth, not off with the angels where the true believers were supposed to be flown in a flash at 6 p.m.
Cathy links to a few good jokes and one-liners.
What are your post-Rapture plans?

Pros: it's attached to the engine only so engine torque won't shift it's location (into the AC pulley); it's an "open air" medium length pipe with a good "equal" cross-section that opens up to a 3.5" opening; it's easy to install; it sounds good; it's not as expensive as other units; it accepts the multitude of 3.5" i.d. cone pleated filters available if you ever want to try another manufacturer Cons: it's taking in under-hood air (do yourself a favor and make a CAI "box" out of sheet aluminum that mates with the inside of the hood around the filter); nothing else bad...
Current Mods:

The Ravens' best sound bites on Wednesday media days are traditionally provided by linebackers Terrell Suggs or Ray Lewis, or running back Ray Rice. All three spoke to a large gathering of reporters today, but it was quarterback Joe Flacco who stole the show with uncharacteristic candor.
What got the normally-reserved quarterback going was a question about the long line of elite quarterbacks who have won Super Bowls in recent years.

|"Your wooden arm you hold outstretched to shake with passers-by."
Pick a Harvard undergraduate almost at random and you will be astonished by the range of his or her accomplishments. Consider Carrie Ann Haberstroh '02, of Currier House and Lisbon, North Dakota, who took the fall term off to serve as Miss North Dakota and to compete in the Miss America Pageant. (Three College students have competed during the last decade.) Haberstroh's "talent" in the pageant was classical piano and her "platform issue" was Alzheimer's disease. A visual and environmental studies concentrator, she hopes to graduate with honors and a Scandinavian language citation. She has worked as a lifeguard and a swimming instructor and aspires to a career in advertising. Finally, she can throw the discus farther than any other woman in North Dakota. At least—as North Dakota State Discus Champion in 1998—she could when she was in shape.
His Radcliffe students in Philosophy 2A presented him with an azalea in April 1896, and Professor William James sent them a thank-you note, reports the American Heritage Dictionary of American Quotations. "The deepest principle of human nature is the craving to be appreciated," he wrote. He had omitted this deepest principle from his classic Principles of Psychology, he revealed, because "I had never had it gratified till now."
Each spring Harvard throws a party for faculty and staff members with 25 years of service. One of their number addresses the gathering. A year ago the speaker was Miles F. Shore '50, M.D. '54, Bullard professor of psychiatry. He celebrated the lore of Harvard. Touching on eccentricities of certain faculty members, he mentioned the late Arthur Darby Nock, Frothingham professor of the history of religion and senior fellow of the Society of Fellows—a man of British origin. "He never seems to walk; he glides with a hastening gait peculiar to himself," this magazine explained in a 1946 "Harvard Portrait." "The occasional cane and spats are merely appurtenances, signifying that some of the British tradition remains…."
"One morning," Shore told his audience, "one of the women who straightened up the rooms [in Eliot House] entered Professor Nock's room and found him seated naked on the floor, meditating. 'Jesus Christ,' she cried, to which he replied, 'No, Madam, only His obedient servant, Arthur Darby Nock.'"

Harvard spends vast energy these days protecting the use of its name. The University recently brought suit in South Korea, for instance, against a publisher who had for years been selling an educational publication called "Harvard Teacher." The case went all the way to Korea's supreme court, which ruled that the publisher did not have the right to use the Harvard name without permission.
While the University's attitude toward the use of its name has changed, there's nothing new about the abuse of it. Contributing editor Edward Tenner, Jf '72, came upon "The Tooth Tinkers," an article in the September 1910 number of Hampton's Magazine. "'Painless Parkers' have been extracting perfectly good teeth—and money—from gullible persons all over this country by promising cheap, 'painless' dentistry," the magazine warned, citing one establishment called the "Harvard Dental Companies." Such dishonest dental parlors drew crowds and had a hurly-burly air. "Just as Painless Parker yanked out a molar, he would stamp his foot, and the band would play, so that the audience couldn't hear the patient's cries."

Sorry guys, and I know I will probably get flamed for this basic question (and I have tried searching for the answer)
I downloaded a file from Blendswap (for Blender) it was a zip file, in it was the blend file and the texture images, I opened it up in Blender, then rendered it and it all came up textured and is quite a good looking model and ultimately the rendered image .
I then exported it as an OBJ so I could open it up in Bryce.
In the folder where I exported the OBJ is the OBJ file and the *.mtl file which I assumed are the materials.
I imported the file into Bryce and it came in OK but when I render it, it comes up in the grey default colour.
What happened to the textures ?
or mre to the point
How do I apply them to the model in Bryce?
Thanks in advance

The Secret Circle
The Secret Circle Recap of Season 1, Episode 19, "Crystal": Twisted Sisters
Thank the stars, The Secret Circle is back in our lives –– and you know what that means: We'll finally find out who Cassie's secret sister is! This week, our favorite gang of teenage witches (minus Sabrina) managed not to kill any seagulls with their emo love-making, but they did go crazy for crystals. Sigh, we know pet rocks are all the rage, but really guys? Buy a giga pet like normal people living in the '90s.
He's a Ladies' Man!
Eben's more powerful than ever since he became a vessel for demon worms, and the Circle are terrified of what he might do. Unfortunately, they only have one crystal, which is enough to kill half an inchworm. The answer to all their problems clearly lies with a bunch of geriatrics, so they decide to hunt down their grandparents and steal some pet rocks.
The Circle divides into groups to get the job done, but first Melissa (Jessica Parker Kennedy) runs into creepy Callum –– who wants to reconnect over a voodoo-gasm. Luckily, Jake (Chris Zylka) and his leather jacket appear out of nowhere to save Melissa's honor, but he accidentally reveals that they belong to a coven in the process. Great, now Callum wants to sell Jake's bodily fluids on the black market. (Cough, we'll take two bottles, cough.)
After bro-battling Callum, Jake meets Faye (Phoebe Tonkin) and Cassie (Britt Robertson), and they head over to his gramps' house only to discover he's a batty old conspiracy theorist who thinks Blackwell wanted to sperminate everyone in his Circle. Here's the deal: 300 years ago, 18 families escaped from Salem and split into three Circles. Then Blackwell swooped in and corrupted the West Coast Circle by "sowing his seed" all up in everyone's ovaries. Color us horrified.
Meanwhile, Gramps does have a crystal (score!), but he's hidden it in a mine. Why, you ask? Because the six Chance Harbor crystals form a giant crystal skull, which is the most powerful weapon in the history of magic. Are you thinking what we're thinking? One ring to rule them all, one ring to bind them....
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's Off to Work We Go!
While Jake and his bevvy of beauties learn about Salem, Melissa and Adam (Thomas Dekker) head over to her grandma's house and discover that she's a serious contender for Hoarding: Buried Alive. This old lady has more crystals than Jake has man-tanks!
Meanwhile, Faye is totally convinced she's Blackwell's other child, especially since Dawn's (Natasha Henstridge) diary reveals something about a steamy affair back in the '80s. Unfortunately, while the three amigos chat about the possibility of Cassie and Faye being sisters, Callum zooms up on his motorcycle and steals Grandpa Armstrong's map to the mine! There's only one thing to do – put Chance Harbor's new dynamic duo (a.k.a. Melissa and Adam) on the case. Cassie texts her buddies a map of the mine, and they track down the crystal before Callum can steal it. Turns out abandoned mines are super creepy, but Adam taps into his inner Tarzan and heroically swings across a giant precipice to grab the crystal like a pro. Unfortunately, Callum and his greasy hair show up, and after Adam fails to grab his gun, Melissa gives up their prize.
In other news, Diana's (Shelley Hennig) trying to have some alone time with Grant, but her date gets interrupted by one magical emergency after another. She heads down to the mine to meet her friends, and the situation promptly gets realer than real. First, Cassie almost chokes to death when she tries to enter the tunnel (dark magic repellent), then Adam bats his eyelashes like crazy, and then Faye nearly gets run over by Callum's motorcycle. Luckily, Cassie stops Callum with her mind, and the Circle mark him so he can never come back to Chance Harbor. Good riddance!
John Blackwell's still new in town, and he just wants to make friends, okay? First on the agenda is reacquainting himself with some haters, starting with Grandma Jane (Ashley Crow). Blackwell heads to Jane's house for some hang time, but little does he know that she and Charles (Gale Harold) have a covert plan to kill him with an ancient cruid!
Unfortunately, things don't exactly go as planned. Turns out that Blackwell secretly spelled the cruid to kill Jane, and as soon as Charles lights it up in the hopes of destroying Blackwell, Jane passes out on the floor and dies. Yep, Charles is officially a serial killer. Sigh, don't worry, Grams. We'll have the old folks' home pour some witches brew out for you.
Now, wipe those tears away and blow your nose, because Cassie's secret sister is about to be revealed! After ditching Jane's dead body, Blackwell heads to the clubhouse and has a quick bonding moment with Faye about the fact that she definitely isn't his love child. Meanwhile, Cassie meets up with Diana, who reveals her plan to quit the Circle to focus on her personal life. Diana also tells Cassie that she couldn't enter the mine without choking, and you know what that means! She's Cassie's sister-sister, and they're about to have so many bonding moments! Cue the sparkles, cue the music –– it's time to celebrate good times! No offense, Jane.

The Liberia National Fire Service (LNFS) has commissioned President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf as Fire Marshall of Liberia. In many areas, the fire marshal is responsible for enforcing laws concerning flammable materials.
LNFS conferred the honor on the President for her dedicated support to the Fire Service and being the first Liberian sitting Head of State to visit the entity during the Christmas and New Year celebrations.
The Liberian leader has gone to the LNFS office on Ashmum Street to thank the staff for a job well done during the year 2012 in serving the public. Upon the President's arrival, fire fighters were seen in joyous mood to receive her.
The President thanked the LNFS for the manner in which they have managed the entity and fought fire incidents in the city. She said government will continue to support the Liberia National Fire Service and provided a check for US$5,000 as Christmas gift for the employees.
Receiving the donation, he Director of the LNFS G. Warsuwah Barvoul thanked the President and encouraged her to provide sustained support for the Fire Service.
Director Barvoul called for more sensitization, among Liberians to help reduce fire incidents around the country. He however recommended for residents to adapt the use of Chinese lights instead of candle lights to avoid fire disasters in their respective homes.
He said President Sirleaf deserves the commission as Liberia's Fire Marshal for her commitment to the service, and noted that many Liberians overlooked the efforts of fighters.
The State Fire Marshall (SFM) is to promote public health and safety and to reduce hazards to life, limb and property. The SFM office performs its duties through inspections and investigations, including public awareness program and fire protection codes.

DIATHERIX Technology Offers Faster Diagnoses, Decreases Costs
A recent case study underscored what Dennis Grimaud knew already … the novel testing technology employed by DIATHERIX Laboratories, Inc. (DLI) not only offers a faster, more accurate diagnoses of a wide variety of infectious diseases compared to traditional testing, but the approach also has the potential to significantly lower costs by reducing patient infection rates, decreasing the days patients need to be kept in isolation, and prescribing fewer unnecessary or ineffective antibiotics.
With a corporate motto of "accurate identification leads to appropriate treatment," DLI uses an amplification process known as Target Enriched Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (TEM-PCR) in combination with the microarray detection platform for highly accurate, very fast results. Grimaud, who is chairman and CEO of DLI, said results are typically available the same day as the specimen arrives in the lab.
"We can look at up to 25 pathogens in a single reaction," he noted. "Most of the time, you do a single test … you get a single result. But with ours, you get multiple results." Grimaud explained the multiplex platform duplicates the substance being tested enabling very small amounts of material to yield results for an array of infectious agents … both viral and bacterial.
The company, which is headquartered in Cool Springs and has its CLIA-certified, high complexity reference lab in Huntsville, Ala., engaged in a pilot partnership with Kettering Medical Center in Ohio in August 2010. "We were anticipating a financial impact of roughly $225,000 in the first year," said Grimaud. Instead, the hospital realized a positive impact of $3.7 million.
Grimaud said DIATHERIX entered into an agreement with Kettering whereby DLI set up a laboratory at the hospital with no upfront investment from the healthcare facility. Having the country's only onsite hospital lab using TEM-PCR diagnostic technology meant test results were available within about six hours compared to traditional cultures, which typically take a minimum of 48 hours.
Catherine Bacheller, MD, an infectious disease specialist at Kettering, said the quick turn-around dramatically improved patient care, particularly for those with MRSA "and other multidrug resistant organisms where antibiotic decision-making has such an impact on patient morbidity and mortality." She continued, "Within a day, I have at my fingertips all the information I need to directly target the organism causing infection and to stop unnecessary, broad spectrum antibiotics with their associated side effects, toxicity and healthcare costs."
As part of the pilot study, Grimaud said patients who were going to be admitted for more than 24-hours post-surgery were tested, primarily for MRSA, 10 days prior to surgery. About 15 percent of patients were found to be colonized but didn't have active infection. In those cases, the patients were directed to use a nasal antibiotic and chlorhexidine soap. At the end of five days, that patient population was tested again. Given new regulations that decline reimbursement for treatment of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), Grimaud said it is vital that a hospital be able to establish that an infection was present prior to admission.
"If a patient was transferred from another institution or if they had a history of MRSA in the last 12 months, then they were automatically put into isolation," Grimaud continued of Kettering's MRSA protocol. "This (the rapid testing) took 67 percent of patients out of isolation within the first 24 hours."
By providing accurate information faster, Grimaud said physicians don't have to empirically treat patients. Instead, the provider is able to target therapy based on an identified pathogen with improved patient outcomes and a healthier bottom line.

I have never used this motherboard... there could be bugs in the BIOS, but
I usually assume such bugs are unlikely. This is apparently a server
motherboard, which is more likely to have an "ignore keyboard" option to
bypass the keyboard function test on boot. I don't think this option
usually disables the keyboard, though.
Note that unplugging and plugging in a PS/2 keyboard while the computer is
powered can burn out the keyboard electrical connection. I have
experienced this before. I think it is also possible that the keyboard
interface on the motherboard may get burned out by such mistreatment,
though I have (fortunately) not experienced this. :)

In most cases, you are disabling a serial port because you want to use the
interrupts and/or io ports it uses for a different device. Only the BIOS
can disable the hardware in a fashion that will allow this. (Not even
"boot.ini" on an NT system can do this.)

I've been thinking about this for a long time: God created Adam, and according to Darwin's evolutionary theory and natural selection, Adam could have been a monkey (Darwin's theory has come under attack lately, but for different reasons besides religious).
Islam, of course, forbids us to think of Adam (or Eve) as a primate, for various reasons, but mostly because animals and humans are different in the sense that humans have been granted free will. If Adam was a monkey (or the descendent of monkeys -- which is also impossible according to Quran since he was created a "man" before he was kicked out of heaven), then it would be difficult to reconcile the issue of free will.
"O mankind, be careful of your duty to your Lord, Who created you from a single soul, and from it created its mate, and from the two of them has spread forth a multitude of men and women.� (Al-Quran, Chapter 4, Verse 1)
"All of you are Children of Adam, and Adam was created from dust.� (Prophet Muhammad, pbuh)
And yet, fossilized findings tends to show a gradual evolution of early man -- the cro-magnons, the neandertals, etc. There must be a reconciliation between what scientiests have found and what the Quran tells us, but i'm unsure what it is.
Some websites i've found have been vague in their answers. Others have tried reconciling evolution and creationism, but have ended up sounding particularly dubious.
Looks like the thought i've given the subject is still incomplete. More research required.

Electromagnetic drift instabilities are considered for tandem mirror and field reversed plasma configurations taking into account effects of magnetic drift and finite ( = plasma pressure / magnetic pressure). Stabilization of drift modes due to finite plasma length along magnetic field lines is studied. Dispersion equation includes effects of the common actions of gradients of plasma density, ion temperature and electron temperature with no assumption of adiabatic response of ions or electrons for the ranges of perpendicular wave number values from k[perpindicular] < 1/Ti up to k[perpindicular] ~ 1/Te (Ti and Te are ion and electron thermal gyroradiuses). Instability induced turbulent transport is considered for mirror and field reversed magnetic configurations. Effect of sheared E × B flow on fluctuation level and transport is discussed.

Late Friday, Lady Gaga announced she's selling a self-designed "We Pray for Japan" wristband on her website; all proceeds from the $5 band will go to Japan relief efforts.
But celebrities haven't raised the rallying cry that they did after 2010's Haiti earthquake and 2005's Hurricane Katrina. As of Tuesday morning, no plans for a large scale benefit concert, telethon, or similar fundraising event had been reported.
When ABCNews.com asked representatives for Sean Penn if the Oscar-winning actor, who quickly latched on to relief efforts in Haiti and New Olreans, planned to do anything for Japan, they responded, "Mr. Penn continues to participate in relief efforts in Haiti."
So far, the extent of stars' efforts has been beseeching their Twitter followers to donate to organizations like the Red Cross.
Sheen took a break from his own troubles Friday to tweet his concern for the quake and tsunami victims, writing, "Curveball; Warlock edict; pain & devastation in Japan demands us all to dig deep & LOVE THEM VIOLENTLY Dogspeed my cadres of the Far East! C"
P. Diddy expressed his shock in similar fashion: "Oh man yall see this earthquake in japan??????!!!!!! Let us pray!!!! God bless Japan!"
On Friday and through the weekend, stars flooded Twitter with prayers. For A-listers, the news of the quake hit especially close to home -- many of them do publicity and perform in Japan.
"My prayers and love is with all of those in Japan. Wow my heart is breaking with every image I see. So sad! Praying hard!" Khloe Kardashian tweeted.
"So devastating to hear about the huge earthquake and tsunami Japan. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone there," "Glee" star Lea Michele wrote.
Back from a recent tour stop in Japan, Katy Perry wrote, "My prayers go out to anyone that is being effected by the disaster in Japan ... #prayforjapan."
Perry reiterated her message Sunday night: "Imagine... if we ALL texted REDCROSS to 90999 we'd have raised over 60million dollars for #JAPAN REFLIEF! BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE! BE!"

Adrian Barnett, in his article on Irish elk (25 March, p 36), expresses uncertainty as to the function of antlers. Surely, as in the case of modern red deer, they were reservoirs of minerals which were gnawed by the hinds at the time when their calf fetuses were growing rapidly.
The antlers must go somewhere after being shed. On my farm in Scotland I have seen not only hinds but also cattle and sheep gnawing at shed antlers, the soil being very deficient in calcium. Were it not for this, the place would be metres deep in antlers.

Developed by Subcommittee: D04.38 | Committee D04 | Contact Staff Manager
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers a reflectorized thermoplastic-based pavement striping material of the class that is applied to the road surface in a molten state by screed I extrusion or ribbon extrusion means. Retroreflectivity of the pavement marking compound is achieved initially by surface application of retroreflective optics at the time of pavement marking application. Upon cooling to normal pavement temperature, the pavement marking material produces an adherent reflectorized stripe of specified thickness and width capable of resisting deformation by traffic. The pavement marking compound includes retroreflective optics (glass beads or composite optics or both) that are incorporated into the material at the time of manufacture that provide retroreflective properties during the service life of the material. This specification is limited to: longitudinal applications in non snow plow areas, standard (non-profile) pavement marking applications, and applications on smooth asphalt or concrete surfaces. Asphalt seal coat applications, which use large aggregate resulting in a very rough, open grade finish, are excluded from this specification. 1.2 This specification includes: compositional and physical property requirements of the thermoplastic pavement marking material,requirements for the optics that are used to reflectorize the thermoplastic pavement marking material after application, Field performance requirements for the installed thermoplastic pavement markings, and material application requirements. 1.3 The values stated in inch-pounds units are to be regarded as the standard except where noted in the document. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
There is an increased interest by state and local agencies responsible for pavement markings to establish minimum field performance requirements for pavement markings. This specificatinon sets forth such a set of requirements for thermoplastic pavement marking materials that can be used by State Department of Transportations and municipalities to establish performance based pavement marking programs.
