Silicon nanomembranes are extremely thin (<10 to 100s of nm), flexible, strain-engineered, single-crystal sheets. Their novelty is several-fold: they are flexible, they are readily transferable to other hosts and conform and bond easily, they are stackable, and they can take on a large range of shapes (tubes, spirals,ribbons, wires) via appropriate strain engineering and patterning. They provide the potential for new or enhanced application of Si

new nanophotonic, optoelectronic, and thermoelectric devices; and chemical and biological sensors. Many properties of bulk Si can be modified in SiNMs,including band structure and quantum properties, electronic transport, phonon distributions, and mechanical properties. Because they are so close, the two surfaces of the membrane become a significant influence on overall SiNM properties. In this talk I review SiNM processing (fabrication, strain engineering, and transfer) and some of the unexpected physical and electronic properties of
SiNMs. These include surface transfer doping via surface structures or absorbed layers, through-membrane elastic interactions to create periodic strain lattices, conduction band splitting and shifting with strain, and orientation- dependent carrier mobility enhancement with strain. Applications will be briefly addressed as time permits.

Article provided by Forefield Advisors
Everyone knows the stock market has its ups and downs, but just what's involved in recovering from a serious down? If you lose 10% one year but your portfolio returns 10% the next year, are you even again?
The short answer: no. The math of recovering from a loss isn't quite that symmetrical. You have to gain more than you lost to recoup all your losses. To understand why, let's look at a hypothetical example. Say you have a $50,000 portfolio. In Year 1, you suffer a 10% loss and are down $5,000. That leaves your portfolio worth only $45,000.
In Year 2, the market rebounds and your portfolio rises by 10%. However, that 10% increase is based on a $45,000 portfolio, not $50,000. That means the 10% return adds only $4,500 to your portfolio, not $5,000, leaving you still $500 down from where you started. You would actually have to earn a return of a little over 11% to get back to your original $50,000.
The bigger the loss, the bigger that rebound needs to be to get you even. For example, if that $50,000 portfolio had taken a 40% hit, as many did in 2008, you'd need almost a 67% increase to offset that $20,000 loss and get back to the original $50,000. That could take several years even if stocks perform well.
The challenge is compounded by investor psychology. Adjusting your asset allocation to aim for a higher return is one way to try to recoup losses faster. However, many investors find it difficult to take on additional risk after having watched their investments take a hit. And there's no guarantee that more risk will necessarily produce the desired result–at least not within the desired time frame.
The lopsided nature of recovery from market losses underscores why risk management is such a key component of successful portfolio management. Being realistic about the level of risk your portfolio involves and how much time you have to come back from potential downturns may help increase both your emotional and financial resilience.

Combining like agreement in algebraic expressions
If you are account all of my online writing again you already apperceive the basal algebra, such as variables, coefficients, algebraic expressions and polynomials. In this representation I am traveling to explain how to amalgamate like agreement in a polynomial or algebraic expression.
Like agreement in a polynomial accommodate the aforementioned variable. For archetype "3a" and "6a" are the like agreement because both agreement accommodate the aforementioned capricious "a". On the added duke "3a" and "6b" are not like agreement as they accommodate the altered variables "a" and "b".
To amalgamate like agreement aboriginal of all the agreement with the aforementioned capricious are accounting calm and again the coefficients are added or subtracted according to the accumulation rules. For example; attending at the algebraic announcement below:
2m + 7m
The aloft algebraic announcement is a polynomial and it looks like that it has two terms. But, both agreement has the aforementioned variable, appropriately we charge to aggregate both the agreement (I beggarly we charge to amalgamate both the terms) to accomplish one term.
To amalgamate 2m and 7m; we charge to yield a attending at the coefficients and their signs for both the terms. Both agreement accept absolute coefficients; appropriately add both coefficients 2 and 7 to get the new accessory 9.
Note that the capricious stays the aforementioned as explained below:
2m + 7m
= (2 + 7) m
= 9m
Hence we accept accumulated 2m and 7m (two like terms) to get 9m as the answer.
Now catechism arises that if should we allocate the polynomial; afore accumulation the like agreement or afterwards accumulation the like terms?
Always, consistently amalgamate the like agreement afore you allocate the polynomial. In our example; the polynomial 2m + 7m, we can't say it a binomial but it is a monomial because it has alone one appellation and which is according to 9m.
More examples for explanations:
1. 3a + 8a + 4a – 11a
= (3 + 8 + 4 – 11) a
= (15 – 11) a
= 4a
2. 8m + 5n – 6m – 9m
= (8 – 6 -9) m + 5n
Notice that "8m, – 6m and – 9m" are all like terms, but 5n is altered term, appropriately kept separate.
= (8 – 17) m + 5n
= – 9m + 5n
3. ab + 5a – 7a + 9a + 4c + 11ab – c
This polynomial has three kinds of altered terms; agreement with variables "ab, a and c", aggregate the like agreement as apparent below:
= (1 +11) ab + (5 – 7 + 9) a + (4 – 1) c
= 12ab + 7a + 3c
Keep in apperception that the agreement "ab" and "- c" accept coefficients "1″ and "-1″ respectively.
Hence, our acknowledgment is "12ab + 7a + 3c" is a trinomial.
So, these were few of actual actual basal examples to explain the accumulation like agreement in algebra and what I could do aural my little ability of the topic.

Discover how easy and effective classroom centers can really be! In this course, you'll learn how to create and implement activities that boost independent learning in the classroom.
You'll start out by learning what centers are (and aren't), what benefits they offer, and how to make the most of them. Next, you'll explore some very common mistakes teachers make with centers and gain tips for keeping your planning time to a minimum. You'll also get step-by-step instructions for creating a centers schedule all your students can use independently—even if they can't read. The insights you'll gain will show you how to adjust your centers routine for both your fastest learners and those who need more time.
Short on classroom space? You'll get great ideas for storing your centers and explore some alternatives to having a permanent spot for every center. You'll master an easy, effective process for introducing centers and their materials to your students, and develop strategies for what to do when things don't go quite as planned.
Increased small-group instruction time is one of the biggest benefits of centers, and you'll explore the kinds of instruction you can pursue during centers time.
Think centers can only be used for reading and language arts? Think again! We'll explore ideas for using centers to support instruction in math, science, and social studies. You'll also see how you can use technology (such as virtual bulletin boards, apps, and interactive white boards) in your centers to help keep your students engaged. By the time you finish the course, you'll not only have the knowledge you need to get the most out of centers—you'll have a wealth of resources and center ideas you can take and try so you can get started right away!

Each week, we'll ask our stable of scribes to weigh in on the three most important NBA topics of the day — and then give you a chance to step on the scale, too, in the comments below.
Week 27: Thunder's chances | Will Lakers contend next season? | Boston relevancy
You're Danny Ainge: How do you make the Celtics relevant again with that aging roster?
Steve Aschburner: Job No. 1 for Ainge is to implore Kevin Garnett not to make any hasty decisions on his playing future. Because if he did, he'd probably opt to shut 'er down for good. It's hard enough on him to be getting old, with diminishing powers and durability, but to be fresh off an elimination? No, Ainge needs Garnett to get away for weeks or even months, to decompress and realize how much he still craves the competition and needs the game. Then with Garnett, Paul Pierce and a repaired Rajon Rondo, plus pieces such as Jeff Green, Avery Bradley and Jared Sullinger, the Celtics would be relevant — OK, at least until the next 82 games picked them off one-by-one again.
Fran Blinebury: You don't. Not with that aging roster. It's time to turn the page and move forward with a recuperated Rajon Rondo as main cog while accumulating as much young talent as possible.
Jeff Caplan: Tough question. The first part of the answer is getting Rajon Rando back. And considering the recovery paths of Ricky Rubio and Derrick Rose, well, it will be interesting to watch Rondo's progress. I don't think trading Paul Pierce or Kevin Garnett in the offseason is the answer. GM Danny Ainge has little wiggle room financially. He's committed to Jeff Green, Jason Terry, Courtney Lee and Brandon Bass at pretty good salaries and multiple years. Jared Sullinger's return will help the front line. Backcourt reinforcement is necessary. Best plan might be to bring the boys back, make periphery changes and hope Rondo can get the job done. See what happens and if it's ugly, then a wholesale change in direction can begin at the trade deadline.
Scott Howard-Cooper: By not having that aging roster. The time has come to get to the future, and that means getting something for Kevin Garnett while you still can. That means a series of moves.
John Schuhmann: Well, you can't make the Celtics relevant again with that aging roster. You get back to relevancy by severing ties with the aging part and rebuilding. You have to take one step back to take two steps forward, and the longer you wait to take that step back, the longer it will take before you can get younger stars on the roster. With Rajon Rondo not likely to be back at 100 percent next season, and with how good the 2014 Draft is supposed to be, this summer is the right time to pull the trigger and say goodbye to Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. That's a lot easier said than done (and I'm glad I'm not Danny Ainge in this case), but next season would be a good time to be bad.
Sekou Smith: I don't, if I'm Danny Ainge, not with this aging roster of true warriors who are simply out of time. The only way the Celtics are made relevant again is by breaking this team up and replacing some of their older veteran stars with younger stars. Ainge has already engineered one championship team during his tenure and is certainly capable of doing it again. But the goal right now is just to make them relevant again, which is something completely different than making them a championship team again. The first step is getting Rajon Rondo back and healthy from the torn ACL that ended his season. Next up is perhaps the toughest call Ainge will have to make, and that's what to do with Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. It's time to get something for one or both of them. Bottom line, the Celtics don't remain relevant with this aging roster. They have to revamp the roster to make that happen.
Lang Whitaker: At some point the Celtics have to get younger, obviously, but if I'm Danny Ainge, I stand pat with this team at least until Rondo is healthy. This team has plenty of talented players and pieces, and I'd like to see them make one more postseason run with this crew. But the leash has to be pretty short: Pierce will be an expiring contract in 2014, while Rondo and Garnett expire in 2015. So if things aren't working, as soon as it's apparent I'd start shipping guys out and collecting draft picks and good contracts.

Sweet Lassi (Indian Yogurt Drink)
Lassi is an Indian yogurt drink. I often make it at home, but I've never quite been able to recreate the subtle tanginess of the drink. That is, until now. On our last trip to the local Indian restaurant, I asked the waitress about their preparation techniques, and she told me that they always add Bulgarian cultured buttermilk when making plain lassi. After that lunch, I stopped at the local Middle Eastern store, picked up a carton of buttermilk, and adjusted my recipe to her specifications. I've been making it this way ever since.
I use traditional Indian flavorings in my lassi, specifically elaichi ("cardamom" in Urdu) and rose water. My mother-in-law isn't a huge fan of rose flavoring, so I only added ¼ teaspoon of rose extract. You can add as much or as little as you'd like.
Yields: 6 servings½ cup superfine sugar (or granulated sugar), to taste
¼ cup water
2 cups plain yogurt
6 cardamom pods
1/3 cup milk, chilled
2/3 cup buttermilk, chilled
2 cups crushed ice
1/8 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon rose water (optional), to taste
Making simple syrup: In a small saucepan, dissolve the sugar in water. Bring to a near boil, lower the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. Let the syrup cool completely.
Extracting the cardamom seeds: Using a mortar and pestle. Pound the pods several times and the pod will release its seeds. Pick out the shells and discard them. Grind the cardamom seeds into a fine powder. Crush all the nits and gather about 1 teaspoon.
Assembly time: Combine the yogurt, buttermilk, milk, simple syrup, crushed cardamom, salt and crushed ice in a blender. Blend all the ingredients for about 2 minutes. While the mixture is blending, add the rose extract (if used). The consistency of the lassi should be smooth and frothy.
Pour into 4 glasses. Stir well; some cardamom powder minght sink to the bottom of the glass.
Serve chilled.
Some people like to blend the lassi with water instead of milk and flavor it with nutmeg and a hint of cayenne pepper, but I prefer not to.
You can decorate the top of the glasses with crushed nuts (slivered almonds, pistachios or cashews), just as it's done for other Indian drinks, such as sharbat.
I prefer to use superfine sugar. It's a fine-grained sugar and it dissolves much more quickly than regular sugar. You can add up to ½ cup of sugar to plain lassi, but it's not meant to be too sweet.
I used Greek-style yogurt because it's firmer and more dense than regular yogurt. I made my own yogurt last summer. It's easier than you imagine; making homemade yogurt doesn't even require a yogurt maker. You can click on the link for the recipe.
You can find rose extract at Indian stores. It's sold in small 0.7-ounce bottles.
I buy Bulgarian cultured buttermilk at my local Middle Eastern market. If you live in the Bay Area, check out the Rose Market -1060 Castro St, Mountain View, CA 94040.
I used the Vitamix blender for this recipe. It's kind of expensive, but so worth it. I got it as a wedding gift, and it's really powerful. It crushes ice into snow-cones almost instantly. It's perfect for smoothies. Just make sure there is some amount of liquid so that the motor does not burn. Vitamix also carries an additional container just for dry ingredients.

When you're looking for answers on hazardous (classified) location questions, where should you turn? Think of Articles 500 through 517 as a mini codebook dedicated specifically to that subject. Article 500 is the foundation — within it you'll find the definitions and general requirements that apply to all hazardous locations.
More specifically, the properties of materials present (or likely to be present) determine the hazard classification — and which 501-503 Article(s) apply. Article 504 provides the requirements for a certain protection technique known as "Intrinsically Safe Systems." Articles 505 and 506 provide requirements for the "Zone" method of area classification, which is an alternative method to Articles 500-503. The NEC classifies specific hazardous locations by use in Articles 511 through 517. Article 500 is also loaded with Fine Print Notes. While not Code requirements [90.5(C]), they are immensely helpful in making a hazardous location safe.
Key concepts. Grasping a few key concepts upfront will enhance your ability to comply with hazardous (classified) location requirements:
The Fire Triangle (Fig. 1) helps clarify the rationale behind hazardous (classified) location requirements. The three components are fuel, oxygen, and a source of ignition. Fire needs all three.
Locating wiring and equipment outside of the classified location provides the safest electrical installation — usually at the least cost [500.5(A) FPN].
As an installation standard [90.2(A)], the NEC doesn't cover battery-operated equipment. OSHA regulates the use of battery-operated equipment in hazardous (classified) locations.
"Explosionproof" means the device contains the explosion so external temperature won't ignite the surrounding flammable atmosphere. It does not mean the device protects against explosion [500.2].
Proper documentation is a requirement for all hazardous (classified) locations. It must be available to those who are authorized to design, install, inspect, maintain, or operate the electrical equipment [500.4].
Classification. Classification is not set by the entire facility. Rather, it is determined by individual room, section, or area [500.5(A)]. In fact, the same structure might contain a mix of different classifications. Although detailed descriptions of these classifications may seem overwhelming, they can be simplified by Class:
I: Presence of flammable gases or vapors that may be present in the air and in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or ignitible mixtures [500.5(B)].
II: Presence of combustible dust that may be suspended in the air with quantities sufficient to ignite or explode [500.5(C].
III: Presence of easily ignitible fibers or flyings that aren't likely to be suspended in the air in quantities sufficient to produce ignitible mixtures [500.5(D)].
Division. Confusion may also result when we append a "Division" to the Classification. We can cut through the fog there, as well.
Class I:
Class I, Division 1. Ignitible concentrations of flammable gases or vapors may exist in the course of normal operations [500.5(B)(1)].
Class I, Division 2. Volatile flammable gases or vapors would become hazardous only in case of an accident or some unusual operating condition — or under certain conditions [500.5(B)(2)]:
Where volatile flammable liquids or gases are handled, processed, or used, but are normally confined within closed containers and the gases would escape only in the case of accidental rupture or breakdown — or by abnormal operation of equipment.
Where ignitible concentrations of flammable gases or vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, but might become hazardous through abnormal operation of ventilating equipment.
Areas adjacent to a Class I, Division 1 location where flammable gases or vapors might occasionally be present unless prevented by adequate positive-pressure ventilation with effective safeguards against ventilation failure.
Class II:
Class II, Division 1. Where combustible dust may exist in any of these conditions [500.5(C)(1)]:
Nonconductive combustible dust is suspended in the air under normal conditions in sufficient quantities to produce mixtures that will ignite or explode.
Faulty equipment releases ignitible mixtures of dust, and the equipment becomes an ignition source.
Group E (to be defined shortly) electrically conductive combustible dust may be present in sufficient quantities to ignite or explode.
Class II, Division 2. Where a hazard exists because combustible dust [500.5(C)(2):
May be present in the air, due to abnormal operations, in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or ignitible mixtures.
Accumulation is normally insufficient to interfere with the normal operation of electrical equipment or apparatus, but where equipment malfunction may result in combustible dust being suspended in the air.
Accumulations on, in, or near electrical equipment could be sufficient to interfere with the safe dissipation of heat from electrical equipment, or could be ignitible by abnormal operation of electrical equipment.
Class III:
Class III, Division 1. Ignitible fibers or flyings are manufactured, handled, or used [500.5(D)(1)].
Class III, Division 2. Ignitible fibers or flyings are stored or handled other than in the manufacturing process [500.5(D)(2)].
Material group. The material group designates what the atmosphere in a given location contains. Groups A through D apply to Class I. Groups E, F, and G apply to Class II [500.6]. Class III hazardous locations do not have material groups. Here's a quick overview:
A: Acetylene.
B: Manufactured gas, hydrogen, butadiene, ethylene oxide, and propylene oxide.
C: Ethyl ether, ethylene, and acetaldehyde.
D: Cyclopropane, gasoline, propane, natural gas, methane, benzene, butane, and ethane.
E: Combustible metal dusts such as magnesium or aluminum powders.
F: Carbon black, charcoal, coal, or coke dusts.
G: Combustible dusts such as flour, grain, wood, or plastic.
Protection. You must protect electrical equipment and wiring within hazardous locations [500.7], but how? Use any of the following:
- Explosionproof enclosures (Class I locations)
These withstand and contain the force of an internal explosion — the hot gases within the enclosure cool as they escape [500.2].
- Dust-ignitionproof enclosures (Class II locations)
These exclude dusts. They will not permit arcs, sparks, or heat within the enclosure to cause ignition of exterior dust [500.2].
- Dusttight enclosures (Class II, Division 2 and Class III locations)
These prevent the entrance of dust or flyings. They have no openings to allow electrical sparks or burning material to escape [500.2 and 502.115(B)].
- Purged and pressurized systems
For Class I Locations (containing flammable gases or vapors), these permit general-purpose enclosures [500.2]. For Class II Locations (contains combustible dust), these supply positive pressure to general-purpose enclosures [500.2].
- Intrinsically safe systems (all locations)
These are incapable of releasing sufficient electrical or thermal energy to cause ignition of flammable gases or vapors [500.2]. None of the requirements in Articles 501 through 503, or 510 through 516 apply to intrinsically safe system installations, except as required by Article 504.
- Nonincendive circuits (Class I, Division 2; Class II, Division 2; or Class III, locations)
These are incapable of releasing sufficient electrical or thermal energy to cause ignition of flammable gases, vapors, or dust [500.2].
- Oil-immersed make-and-break contacts (Class I, Division 2)
You can install these in a general-purpose enclosure in an area that doesn't contain explosive or ignitible mixtures under normal conditions [500.2].
- Hermetically sealed contacts (Class I, Division 2; Class II, Division 2; or Class III, Division 1 and 2 locations)
You can install these in a general-purpose enclosure in an area that doesn't contain explosive or ignitible mixtures under normal conditions [500.2].
You can implement "other protection techniques used in equipment identified for use in hazardous (classified) locations" [500.7(L)]. The NEC doesn't explain what this means. But the use of the term "identified" provides insight. Article 100 defines it as, "Recognizable as suitable for the specific purpose, function, use, environment, application, and so forth, where described in a particular Code requirement."
Equipment. Equipment installed in any hazardous location must be identified for the "Class" and explosive, combustible, or ignitible properties of the specific gas, vapor, dust, fiber, or flyings that will be present (Group) [500.6]. But you can still use general-purpose enclosures for:
Class I locations that don't contain explosive or ignitible mixtures under normal conditions (Class I, Division 2) (Fig. 2), if the enclosures don't contain make-and-break contacts [501.10(B)(4)].
Signaling, alarm, remote control, communications systems and motors, instruments, and relays in Class II locations where the quantities of combustible dust aren't sufficient to produce a fire or explosion under normal conditions. See 502.150(A)(2) Ex, 502.150(A)(3) Ex, 502.150(B)(1) Ex, and 502.150(B)(3) Ex.
Intrinsically safe systems in any hazardous (classified) location. See 500.7(E), 504.10(B), and 504.20.
When installing heat-producing equipment (e.g., luminaires, motors), in a hazardous (classified) location, observe its markings for operation temperature or temperature range (T-Rating) as shown in Fig. 3. Table 500.8(B) has detailed information.
Thread conduit with a National Pipe Thread (NPT) taper of ¾ inch per foot. Assemble wrenchtight, with at least five threads fully engaged [500.8(D)]. Exception: For listed explosionproof equipment, factory-threaded entries must be made up with at least 4½ threads fully engaged.
So now you've seen the modular structure of the Articles that address hazardous locations. And you can see that breaking down the hazardous location designations by class, division, and material group — in that order — simplifies the task of correctly identifying and implementing the requirements for protecting equipment in hazardous locations. Remember the key concepts, and you'll have little problem correctly applying the other Articles in the Code.

Well, it isn't complete nonsense, unless you care to dispute the number of days in a year, hours in a day, or cpus in a dual node computer! The only term you're complaining about is the price of electricity. I'm not privy to the electrical rates that our school pays, they may well be an order of magnitude lower. My home rates certainly aren't, but then, I don't buy as much power as the campus. It's also not at all clear that the campus would sell power to the end users at the same rate which it pays the utility. I don't really understand your point about keeping the units running versus restarting them. Sure, it would be really bad to try to boot all 1000 nodes simultaneously, in all likelihood it wouldn't work. That's why they are typically started at N second intervals, where N depends on your hardware. Surely there is some N large enough so that the peak current draw during the restart never exceeds the random fluctuations observed when all units are running normally. Or is your point that the electricity company doesn't want the facility to draw _less_ current than it uses normally at steady state? On a somewhat related note, it would be nice if rack nodes had some graceful way to conserve electricity. For instance, something along the lines of: if the CPU utilization goes below 5% for 10 seconds ratchet the clock down by a factor of 10. When CPU usage goes above 90% ratchet for 2 seconds move it back up again. Notebooks can do this sort of thing, but it seems not to be a "feature" of most full size motherboards. This should also lower the average temperature in the case, at the expense of increased thermal cycling. Hard to say off hand if that's a plus or a minus as far as hardware longevity goes. Certainly it would be a plus in terms of energy conservation. Regards, David Mathog mathog at caltech.edu Manager, Sequence Analysis Facility, Biology Division, Caltech

Stony Brook Inn 1853 – 2018
The original house was built in 1853 and as far as we know was a private dwelling primarily used as a summer home. Details of this earlier period are sketchy at best. In 1930 the house was sold to Anton von Wening and in the mid '30s was turned into an inn - the Stony Brook Inn. Anton's daughters Constance and Helen operated the inn until the mid '40s. It is told that these spinster sisters slept in the attic when the inn was full. Nice and cool in the summer under that old slate roof!
In 1945 the von Wenings sold Stony Brook to Karl and Miriam Dresdner whose initials are still on the old brass doorknocker on the front door. They had two children, Hedl and Philip, who spent many summers in Shawnee. During this period there were many changes to the house. The front door, then facing Worthington Street, was replaced by a bay window across from the big old stone fireplace in the living room. The new front door replaced a small porch area and now faces River Road. The kitchen, complete with a big iron coal stove, was converted into the existing dining room. Fred Waring designed the step-downs from the front living room into the dining area.
After Karl Dresdner died, Miriam summered here until the mid '70s, after which Hedl, Philip, and their families used it sparingly until it was sold to Malcolm and Beverly Waring in 1983. Malcolm, the son of Fred Waring of Pennsylvanians fame, and Bev added some creature comforts including the heated swimming pool and spacious deck in the back yard.
In May 2000 we purchased the property and decided to grace Shawnee Village with a new Bed & Breakfast with an old name - Stony Brook Inn.

Texas Squirrels Now Fair Game With Air Rifles
Attention Texas squirrel hunters: Thanks to a recent vote from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission, you will soon be allowed to hunt squirrels with air-powered weapons. The new law, which was a part of the "2014-2015 Statewide Hunting Proclamation" discussed at a TPWD meeting on March 27, laid the groundwork for more open-ended hunting laws in numerous ways, including the adoption of air rifles for squirrel hunting use.
"The proposed amendment would also make air guns meeting certain specifications lawful for the take of squirrel," the Hunting Proclamation read. "The department has determined that modern air rifles have achieved ballistic performance characteristics that approximate those of rimfire ammunition at close ranges and are capable of humanely killing squirrels at such distances."
In other words, the Parks and Wildlife Commission has ruled that air guns are now powerful enough to serve as a humane and fair game method for hunting and killing squirrels. Not just any air gun will fit the bill though. As the proclamation explains, only rifles "meeting certain specifications" will be protected under the new amendment, meaning that hunters will want to check the wording of the law (and check their own weapons) before assuming that their air guns are ripe for squirrel shooting.
Specifically, air rifles used to hunt squirrels going forward will need to shoot at least a .177 caliber pellet (if not larger) and will also need to project that pellet at a speed of 600 feet per second. Older air guns weren't typically capable of reaching such specifications, but most newer models are.
The question for some longtime hunters will be: Why anyone would even want to hunt with a less powerful weapon? However, numerous members of the hunting population in Texas have shown excitement and anticipation for the new air rifle allowance, with their reasoning running a range of explanations. From those who think that air rifles in hunting will help to grandfather young shooters into the hunting experience to others who believe that the gentler "pop" of an airsoft gun will help hunters preserve their hearing, there are many perceived benefits to allowing air guns in squirrel hunting.
Furthermore, modern air guns are as powerful as certain types of rifles (specifically the .22 guns often used for squirrel and other varmint hunting) and can present a certain challenge and learning curve of their own. Some hunters looking to add a bit of spice and extra difficulty to their squirrel hunts will enjoy having a wider range of firearm options to choose from.
The allowance of air guns for squirrel hunting isn't the only change the Texas residents will notice next season as a result of the 2014-2015 Statewide Hunting Proclamation. On the contrary, the document included various other provisions that the Parks and Wildlife Commission approved, including expanded mule deer hunting seasons throughout the state and the implementation of an archery-only open season.

Watch Weezer's Drummer Catch a Frisbee While Performing
During Weezer's show over the weekend in St. Augustine, Fla., their drummer did something pretty remarkable. And yes, it involved drums. But it also involved something flying through the air toward him.
Patrick Wilson, who's been with the band from the start, has exhibited his drumming prowess countless times over the years, both onstage and on record. But this weekend, he took his game to the next level: He somehow managed to catch a Frisbee as Weezer were playing their hit song 'Beverly Hills.'
Not only that, he kept on playing. Close your eyes, and you wouldn't even know that a flying disc was caught and held by Wilson as he drummed away. See for yourself:
The band is reportedly working on its ninth album with producer Ric Ocasek, who was behind two of its biggest, and best, records: the Blue and Green albums.
Last week, the band offered a snippet of a new song. Check it out:

This is a guest post by kim. This post appeared on her blog for Ada Lovelace Day 2009.
A good place to start in honoring women is the Smithsonian's Women in Science gallery. Sure, it's got pix of Marie Curie, of whom everyone has heard. But it also has pix of many women engineers, scientists, and science educators who are not as well known, but who should be.
I choose to honor Annie Jump Canon (1863-1941), luminary in astronomical research and stellar classification. Although living in a time deeply ambivalent (if not hostile) to advanced education for women, and suffering from profound hearing impairment after a teenage bout with scarlet fever Annie graduated from Wellsely College in 1884 with a degree in physics. She returned there for graduate studies in physics and astronomy, eventually gaining an MA in 1907. During her time at Wellsley she was hired by the Harvard College Observatory, and along with several other women, paid a pittance (less than a Harvard secretary) to assist Edward Pickering to compile the Draper Catalog, a massive, annotated atlas of all the stars in the sky.
While she was part of this project (itsef funded by Anna Draper, a wealthy widow of an amateur astronomer), Annie was instrumental in defining the spectral classification system, which defines the star classes O, B, F, G, K, and M – a system based on stellar temperature that along with later enhancements is still used today. Annie's personal work included extensive cataloging of variable stars, including 300 for which she is credited as discoverer, and classifying over 230,000 stellar bodies, the most anyone has defined to this day.
You can read more about Annie and her work at a dedicated memorial at Wellesley's website. There are other pages about her here, and on Wikipedia.
I close with a quotation from her:
"In our troubled days it is good to have something outside our planet, something fine and distant for comfort."
Annie, shine on!

Conservation icon "Lonesome George," the last tortoise of his particular species, has died of unknown causes, Galápagos National Park authorities tell The Guardian. He was believed to be 100 years old.
"This morning the park ranger in charge of looking after the tortoises found Lonesome George. His body was motionless," the head of the Galápagos National Park, Edwin Naula, said on Sunday. "His life cycle came to an end."
Discovered in 1972, George was the last of the giant tortoises from La Pinta, one of the smallest islands in the Galápagos, The Guardian reports.
Galápagos giant tortoises can live up to 200 years, and there are some 20,000 still alive on the islands.
Galápagos National Park officials are planning tests to determine the cause of death and may embalm George so that he can be displayed in the park, Naula tells The Guardian.

A Letter in the Oct. 5, 2010, Tomahawk Leader:
Dear Editor:
In this day and age, I believe all of us unintentionally take the beauty and uniqueness of our water resources for granted. With the improvements in infrastructure and transportation, along with the continued advancements in technology, we are able to access and use these resources to our liking more quickly. … It's hard not to get caught up in the rat-race! However, for those of you that either live in or visit the Northwoods, have you ever taken the time to sit near a quiet lake shore and simply absorb the sights, sounds and feel of the serenity? … Yes, leave behind the cell phone, I-pod or whatever other technological gadget you're dependent on, and just enjoy the tranquility of the water and its surrounding environment. After this short experience, I'd be willing to bet that you'll be trying to take the time to experience this more often! You'll also likely gain more of an appreciation for the beauty and uniqueness, as well as the personal benefits, provided by our lakes, rivers and streams.
Unfortunately, along with the benefits associated with the ease of accessibility to these water resources come a number of problems that threaten their integrity, as well as the opportunities and benefits they provide for others to enjoy. Problems such as aquatic invasive species (AIS), improper shoreline development and pollution, are a few that have the ability to quickly degrade these deceivingly sensitive environments. Therefore, it is critical that we, as users and beneficiaries of these water resources, respect them, and do what we can to protect, and if necessary, try to restore them. Their sustenance is directly connected to our livelihoods here in the Northwoods.
Fortunately for us, as water resource users and beneficiaries, there are lake organizations. Lake organizations (associations and districts) consist of dedicated men and women willing to invest their efforts (time and money) to assure a long-lasting commitment to the protection and enhancement of local water resources, of which we all benefit from. I would encourage anyone, especially those that are fortunate enough to either have waterfront property and/or live near a waterbody, to join and support a local lake organization. If for nothing else, support them because their work helps to protect your pocketbooks! Yes, know that your property values are greatly affected by the health of the water in your surrounding area. In my position, I can honestly say that I've received phone calls from individuals interested in purchasing property, asking about the problem of aquatic invasive species on a particular waterbody, and what's being done about it. So if you think that contributing a few dollars annually to local lake management efforts is unnecessary, think again!
For those of you that don't live on or near a waterbody, but enjoy the benefits they provide, you should also consider joining a lake organization, support their efforts, and avoid harmful actions (e.g. using unclean equipment that potentially transports invasive species or harmful fish viruses, polluting, etc.). Thank you, and thank your local lake organization by getting involved in their efforts!
Lawrence Eslinger
Oneida County Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinator
Enjoy the benefits

Authorities are trying to determine what's causing a massive fish kill in the Shark River.
Monmouth County's health department received a report at 5:30 a.m., Monday. Officials say thousands of fish have died, but a total count has not been completed.
Public health coordinator Michael Meddis tells the Asbury Park Press moss bunker appears to be the affected species and the fish kill is mainly taking place in the boat basin in Belmar.
Meddis says bunker reproduce in large numbers and typically use a lot of oxygen.
State environmental officials tell the newspaper that preliminary test results showed acceptable oxygen levels and almost no algae in the water. They say "slightly low oxygen levels" likely resulted in a fish kill.

Mutton used to be my favorite in India and also readily available. Here in Colorado, I have to drive 1hr one way to get goat meat, so its becoming an exotic dish lately. Also because of this I end up buying it in bulk and hence will be relishing on mutton for a whole week. So this week I will be posting a few goat meat recipes. This is a very dry dish which is a bit spicy but can be served with rice or just as an appetizer.
Mutton (1 inch cubes) - 200gms
Onion (finely chopped) - 1
Green chillies (slit) - 2
Curry leaves - a sprig
Ginger-garlic paste - 1 tsp
Jeera (cumin seeds) - 1 tsp
Saunf (fennel seeds) - 1 tsp
Pepper powder - 1 tbsp
Jeera (cumin) powder - 1 tbsp
Coriander powder - 1 tbsp
Garam masala - 1 tsp
Turmeric - a pinch
Oil - 3 tbsp
Salt - as needed
Pressure cook the mutton with jeera, saunf and a pinch of turmeric with just enough water to cover the meat, for about 8 whistles. Heat oil in a pan and add chopped onions. Once the onions turn translucent add green chillies, curry leaves, ginger garlic paste, pepper powder, jeera powder, coriander powder, garam masala, salt and the cooked mutton. Fry in low heat till all the raw smell disappears from the powders and the mutton gets coated and roasted evenly. Serve hot with rice and sambar.

Author Notes: I used to travel all the time for work to Houston, and a few of my favorite restaurants there made caesars with a smokey edge to them, once I even had one with the romaine grilled over mesquite wood, and it was out of this world. This dressing is my take on these southern style caesars, a little smokey from the pimenton, and with rosemary thrown in for some herbal interest. Both the dressing and crouton recipes will make more than you need for a single salad, but I have built my recipes to accommodate my greedy kids who would kill me if I only made enough for a single salad at a time. This recipe calls for making a mayo from scratch, but if you don't have the time, or can't be bothered, substituting a good quality store bought mayo will work in a pinch. - Oui, Chef —Oui, Chef
Food52 Review: Smoked paprika and rosemary are usually show-stealing flavors, but Oui, Chef applies them in measured amounts so that his otherwise classic Caesar dressing is accented and rounded by a restrained smoky, earthy quality. The lemon zest is a thoughtful addition, supplying lightness and fragrance without extra acid. Though the leftover rosemary croutons make for an addictive snack, as Oui, Chef notes, you can easily cut that part of the recipe (by half or more) if you're only using one head of romaine. - Kristen —The Editors
Serves: 6-8
large, organic farm fresh egg
teaspoon water
teaspoons lemon juice - to taste
teaspoon kosher salt
cup vegetable oil
cup freshly grated parmesan reggiano
tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
teaspoons worcestershire sauce
cloves finely minced garlic
teaspoons anchovy paste, or 3 anchovy filets, finely chopped
teaspoon pimenton (smoked spanish paprika)
teaspoon finely minced fresh rosemary
Zest of 1 lemon
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Up to 1/4 cup of water to thin the dressing
cups hearty artisanal bread, cut into 1/2" cubes
tablespoon finely minced fresh rosemary
cup extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
heads of romaine lettuce (depending on how many people you need to serve)
- If making the mayo from scratch, place the first 4 ingredients into a mixing bowl, and using a whisk, mix them all together. Add the oil slowly, starting with just a few drops at a time, while whisking vigorously. When the emulsion becomes creamy, you may increase the speed with which you add the oil to a thin stream. From the beginning the mixture should be thick enough to hold its shape and look luscious and creamy. Add the oil too quickly and it will break, turning thin and soupy, so be careful. When all the oil is incorporated add remaining lemon juice to taste. If the mayonnaise is too thick, it can be thinned by whisking in a little water.
- Next, take 1 cup of your mayo (fresh or store bought) and add the next 9 ingredients to it, thin with a little water to achieve a salad dressing consistency. Taste for seasoning and reserve.
- For the croutons, preheat your oven to 375 F. Place the next 4 ingredients into a large bowl, and toss with your hands until all the bread cubes are coated with the oil. Pour the cubes onto a baking sheet and arrange in a single layer. Place the sheet tray in the oven and bake the croutons until golden brown, approximately 10-12 minutes. Remove them from the oven and let them cool on a rack to room temperature before placing in an air-tight container for storage. This recipe will make more than you will need for a single salad, but these things are so good, you'll be very happy to have extras.
- Wash and dry the romaine leaves, then tear them into bite sized pieces, place them in a bowl and cover them with a damp cloth. keep refrigerated until you are ready to dress your salad.
- To serve, toss the lettuce with just enough dressing to fully coat the greens, but not enough to drown them. Plate the salad, and top with a sprinkling of croutons and a few slivers of freshly peeled parmesan.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!
- This recipe was entered in the contest for Your Best Caesar Salad

My current boat is kept on a lift, it is few feet above the salt water needed for the AC cooling pump. Because of that I am unable to keep the boat's AC on dehumidifier mode while the boat is at my dock.
I am waiting the delivery of my new boat, which will be kept in the water at least for a year. I am wondering what are your experiences to control humidity, do you keep the AC on? If not what do you use?

Doug Cavanaugh had to disobey his mother to make her a household name.
The founder of Ruby's Diner, which will celebrate its 30th anniversary this weekend, got the idea for his restaurant chain when he jogged past a dilapidated building on the Balboa Pier. He envisioned a 1940s-style diner similar to the ones his mother, Ruby Cavanaugh, frequented as a child, and he realized that her first name would look perfect on a sign.
The only problem: She wasn't keen on it.
"We were originally going to call it the Balboa Diner, but that didn't have a lot of longevity to it," Doug said Tuesday afternoon at a booth inside the Ruby's in Tustin. "So we decided I was going to call it Ruby's Diner, and I asked Mom for her permission, and she immediately said, 'Absolutely not.'
"So, like any good son, I completely ignored her and did it. And so, on opening day, I had her walking out and I gave everybody the high sign, flipped on the neon sign where it said 'Ruby's.' She immediately began to pummel me. She got over it very quickly when she realized she was the star of the show."
Ruby, sitting next to him in the booth, added that she really hadn't been that offended.
"It was quite a thrill, really it was," she said. "It was cute."
Over the last three decades, that thrill hasn't subsided for Ruby, who often visits the restaurant's locations and gets besieged for autographs by children after they realize who she is. Usually, they hand her crayons, which the restaurant provides for young guests, and she responds by drawing a caricature of herself along with a signature.
Friday, she may be in demand more than ever, as Ruby's commemorates three decades with a private party on the Balboa Pier. Before that, the general public is invited to enjoy menu items at their original Reagan-era prices: $2.15 for a RubyBurger, $1 for fries and $1.60 for a milkshake.
"It's going to be a very fast-and-furious day of flying burgers out the window," said Doug, who grew up in Tustin and ran a restaurant on Nantucket Island before launching Ruby's.
The discount will be offered until the Balboa restaurant closes at 4 p.m. for the private celebration; other Southern California locations, excluding Shake Shacks or airport restaurants, will stay open until regular closing hours. The chain, which has 38 locations nationwide, operates throughout Orange County, including on the Seal Beach and Huntington Beach piers.
Those locations by the sea, according to Doug, complement the restaurant's theme of leaving modernity behind.
"The really neat thing for us is that it allows people to escape back to our era," he said. "As you're walking down that pier, the years pass by and you're surrounded by classic 1940s and '50s Americana."

If You Go
What: 30th anniversary celebration of Ruby's Diner
Where: Balboa Pier, off East Balboa Boulevard across from the Balboa Pavilion, Newport Beach
When: 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday; other Southern California locations (excluding Shake Shack and airports), 7 a.m. to closing
Cost: Free to attend; menu items offered at original 1982 prices
Information: (949) 675-7829 or http://www.rubys.com
Did You Know?
In honor of Ruby's Diner's 30th anniversary, here are some fun facts about the restaurant:
*The red and white color scheme inside the restaurant was inspired by Ruby Cavanaugh's first name. She joked that if her name were Pearl, the interior would have been entirely white.
*The real-life Ruby also served as the model for the drawing of the waitress on the restaurant's menu — it was based on a photo of her in her high school drill team uniform.
*The restaurant's original menu was tiny — just hamburgers and hot dogs for entrees, plus a handful of sides and sweet treats. It's expanded since then to include breakfast, veggie burgers and more.
*Founder Doug Cavanaugh says the chain's management discourages servers from addressing groups of customers as "guys," which he considers too informal. He prefers "folks."

You will be required to have a Fringe Button, along with your ticket, to be admitted into the show. For further details click here
Online purchase cutoff is 2 hours before each scheduled performance.
We suggest patrons arrive at the venue at least 15 minutes before the performance start time, as all performances are General Seating/First come, first serve.
No Latecomers – because of the set-up of our venues, patrons will not be admitted after the performance starts (no, not even one minute after). With so many performances taking place, it is imperative that we stay on schedule. Therefore, performances start precisely at their designated show times, and no one is admitted once the show has started.
No Refunds – because we return 100% of ticket revenue to the artists, we cannot offer refunds on their behalf.
