Camera in hand, I visit the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Ion Storage Group and photograph the Ion Trap Quantum Computing experiment described in this blog last week.
If you haven't read that previous article , you'll probably want to do so now in order to understand what we are looking at today: a very constrained state-of-the-art quantum computing experiment which proves that ion-trap technology can be employed with a reasonable degree of accuracy to perform two-qubit computations.
The cartoon at the left by John Jost of NIST represents ions used for quantum computations (in red) paired with their cooling ions (in green). One pair is being transitioned by laser light.
Atomic Clock Watcher
You really cannot wander the halls of NIST without getting quantum mechanics all over you!I was early for my appointment, so public information officer James Burrus killed time with me the same way hosts have killed time at NIST with guests since at least 1991 (the last time I visited): he took me to see the Atomic Clock, which physicist Thomas P. Heavner of the Atomic Standards Group explained to me.
Cesium is cooled to near absolute zero and then excited by laser to shoot up and fall back down a sort of chimney, thus passing twice through a microwave aperture. Microwave energy nominally at the cesium frequency of 9192631770.0 Hz is projected through the cesium, which fluoresces in proportion to the right-on-ness of the microwave frequency. The frequency is corrected by the dual observation, one pair of observations per second, and used as a oscillation signal to the clock.
The Nearly Mystical Apparatus
When the time came, I was received very cordially by Jonathan Home and David Hume who explained their experiment and the apparatus, as well as allowing me to take photographs (while keeping me from angles of attack that would expose my eyes to injury by the lasers). Their partners in the effort, John Jost and David Hanneke, were not present.

Pretty much everything you see in the picture above (including the physicist!) is busy when the experiment is running. The ion trap itself (described below) is a small part of the collation. Most of the equipment in the picture consists of lenses, mirrors and crystals. The lenses and mirrors control the angle of the electric field vector of the light. The crystals attune laser light to frequencies necessary to transition quantum states in the ions which are the subject of the experiment.
In a existential juncture between quantum mechanics and swords-and-sorcery, crystals are impinged upon by acoustic waves (sine waves generated by realtime control programs) which makes a diffraction grating to tune light to the desired frequencies.
Be Vewy, Vewy Qwiet, I'm Trapping Ions
Here the ion trap (a printed multilayer wafer with a channel in which the ions can move one-dimensionally) is mounted in the "round generator-looking thingy with red wires on it" in the center of the picture. Photo: Jack Woehr
The ion trap is a slot in two wafers. They each have a set of 7 gold electrodes. The ions sit in a vacuum between the electrodes, which are sequenced to move ions along the center of the trap.The flat wafer, much like a printed circuit board, is the white object seen edge-on in the picture. Laser light can be projected through the trap to perform quantum operations on the ions.
The Ion Trap. The needle-shaped slot to the left is the one-dimensional freedom of motion for the ions. Photo: J. Jost/NIST
The gold leads control the electrodes used to move the ions up and down the slot. The order of the ions in the slot cannot be changed in this experiment; motion is one-dimensional only. In a practical quantum computer you would want to be able to move the ions two-dimensionally so that they could pass around one another and into another region, i.e., into another qubyte register. In the present experiment, they must remain in order. The trap holds up to 10 ions.
Free the Beryllium Two!
Two beryllium atoms in the Trap (Photo: J. Jost/NIST). Two magnesium atoms are also present but do not fluoresce so do not appear in the image.
Every 20 millisecond experiment results in a number of photons which are counted by a photomultiplier tube. Hundreds of sequences are run and the photon count averaged. The point is that ions in one orientation of the quantum state being used as 1|0 in the quantum computation will fluoresce under laser light, and in the opposite orientation will not do so. Thus, the correctness of the result can be evaluated by counting photons.
Homebrew Conventional Software Tools
The experiments are run by a C++ program running on a workstation. Bison is used to create a compiler. Text is written in the ".dc" files and then compiled into FPGA control files by this compiler. C++ is also used for organizing data storage, and the graphical interface to control the experiments. It also interfaces in real time with the FPGA to extract the data, though not on the timescales of a single sequence in the experiment. Typically every 200 sequences there is an interrupt from the computer, which allows the C++ generated program on the computer to download information from the FPGA and upload new control variables.
Red and Green Laser Light Seen As Festive
Here is the laser source for the experiment. The rigid tube glowing green on the right is full of iodine ions and the pink plastic tube at the bottom is full of dye which gives off light of the right color when excited by the laser light. Photo: James Burrus
The ions engaged in computation are beryllium. Each beryllium ion is paired with a magnesium ion. Laser light is used to perform quantum transitions on the beryllium ions, but also to cool the magnesium ions (whose entanglement with the beryllium ions does not include the state being used for computation) thus cooling the beryllium ions.
The laser light is derived from "dye lasers", in which jets of dye are shot up into green "pump" laser light which excites electrons in the dye. As they cascade down they get to a transition and decay emitting red light. The decay is enhanced by a four-mirror cavity which allows light on the desired frequency to build up. The length of the cavity determines the frequency. The green laser light is used to access a particular transition of the red dye; it is the red dye which is emitting the light.
The actual desired light is twice the energy of the red light produced by the dye. So there is a second set of cavities that build up a lot of red light and send it into a crystal, which converts the red light into ultraviolet light.
The nastiest job in the lab, Jonathan and David told me, is cleaning the dye bucket. Just one of those sacrifices we make for science, I suppose ...

By Susan Arthur, KF8 Nicaragua
Dear readers,
I am a Kiva Fellow in Managua, Nicaragua, working with field partner CEPRODEL. I've been here for a couple of weeks now, and am thrilled to announce Kiva's first novela: "As the Microfinance Mundo (World) Turns."
Novelas are soap operas which are very popular in Latin America and on Spanish-language television in the U.S. On this blog, I will unveil the story of Doña Cony as she seeks credit so she can open a "comedor" or small restaurant on the front porch of her house.
Located in Batahola Norte, a poor neighborhood in northwestern Managua not far from the old U.S. Embassy and right across the street from a park where young men shoot hoops or play soccer, the house is also kitty corner from a Cultural Center, where Doña Cony worked for eight years as a cook.'
Be sure to watch the video for a rare opportunity to see Doña Cony resting in a hammock on her porch, the site of her future restaurant.
Will Dona Coñy seek credit from one of Kiva's field partners in Nicaragua? Will she apply at CEPRODEL? Will she qualify? What does she have to do to get a loan? Stay tuned for upcoming episodes of "As the Microfinance Mundo Turns."

Tom Sachs Movies

July 7 – Tom Sachs Movies
"Any time you teach something it's an opportunity to define it in greater depth and seriousness for yourself. So the movies are and continue to be a way for me to understand my practice in depth." Tom Sachs
Tom Sachs, described in the New Yorker as "a mix of mad scientist, obsessive tinkerer, cult guru, task master general, starry-eyed theoretician and workout champion," created "the studio" as a means to accomplish the incredibly ambitious work that has made him one of today's most inspiring and influential sculptors. Referring to "the studio" as a teaching hospital, Sachs produced rules-of-operation, postindustrial films that are required viewing for all studio applicants. These films can be found at tomsachs.org and are available to anyone. This access has given Sachs's "movies" a cult-like following thanks to their practical wit and philosophical insight. In each of these brief instructional films there is as much poetry as instruction at play, and in the end, their straightforward, unforgiving demands seem like words to live by for all.
After Sachs's spring 2015 Tuesday Evenings lecture was received with great enthusiasm, it was clear that these short films should be screened as part of the Modern's new Tuesday Evenings at the Modern: Films program. Sachs generously agreed to our holding a one-night festival to offer fans and newcomers an opportunity to gather together to watch, consider, and discuss favorites such as Love Letter to Plywood, How to Sweep, Color, Space Camp, and Ten Bullets.

Tuesday Evenings at the Modern: Films is a new summer program. As an extension of the very popular lecture series Tuesday Evenings at the Modern, which is offered 10 weeks in the spring and fall of each year, this film-based weekly program runs through the summer months and strives to continue the consideration of ideas and issues pertaining to the art and architecture of the Modern and to contemporary art in general.
Selections for screenings are related to or recommended by artists and speakers who have participated in the lecture series or are otherwise affiliated with the museum. There is nothing particularly prescriptive about the line-up, but as with the lecture series, themes can be found and connections made. To create a full experience, these presentations include a brief introduction and opportunity for discussion following the films.
Seating is available in the Modern's auditorium at 6:30 pm, and the program runs from 7 pm to no later than 9 pm. The museum's galleries and Café Modern are open until 7 pm on Tuesdays during the run of Tuesday Evenings at the Modern: Films.
This program is free and open to the public. Up to two free tickets can be obtained at the admission desk beginning at 5 pm the day of the screening.

If you're making a quilt, using a patchwork style is fine. If you're knitting together an MLS defense, it's not so ideal.
Nonetheless, San Jose Earthquakes coach Frank Yallop will head into Saturday having to recast a back line that suffered another blow last weekend against Colorado, when left back Ramiro Corrales sprained his left knee in a challenge against the Rapids' Kosuke Kimura.
If center back Bobby Burling – who's listed as probable after being knocked out of the Colorado game with a bruised toe – can't go, things become even more severely scrambled.
In that instance, Yallop would likely start a center back who has two weeks' worth of time at the position this season (Brandon McDonald), another center back who has spent the last month-and-a-half playing right back (Jason Hernandez) and an outside back who just joined the team on Friday (Tim Ward).
The last spot would be filled either by a rookie (Steven Beitashour or Justin Morrow), or by moving his team's best offensive catalyst, Bobby Convey, to the back line.
[inline_node:304125]And all of this comes with a Kansas City team on a four-match unbeaten streak bearing down on them.
"The worries for any coach, any time you're going against a team that's played together for a while, [are that] we're going to put together guys in a week and not have any games and kind of throw them out there and see what happens," Yallop told MLSsoccer.com.
"But that's the reason you train hard every day, so you stayed clued in to what the team is doing."
Adding to the fun is the inability to get much training time for the new group. Ward was absent Tuesday, back at home finalizing his move from Chicago in the wake of his sudden trade from the Fire to the Quakes. Burling sat out as well because his injury, although even if he had participated, the injury-riddled team could only muster enough bodies for seven-on-seven, half-field drills.
"I think a lot of things that started to come together for us in the first part of the season were due to having a lot of the familiar faces, guys playing week in and week out and creating chemistry," said Hernandez, who will likely inherit Corrales' captain armband, if only temporarily. "When you bring new guys in, obviously it's a different kind of chemistry, and you work to know where each other are and see how we can relate on the field."
If Burling can play effectively, it would make Yallop's job easier. Then he would only have to worry about how to replace Corrales, who played all but seven minutes of the Quakes' first 16 matches but is expected to miss at least four weeks.
Ward has played on the left in the past, but is predominantly right-sided and won't even have the benefit of a full week of training. Morrow is a natural lefty, but he's clocked only 46 minutes all season.
[inline_node:312191]Convey might be the best answer, in part because it could allow Yallop the ability to get another attacking player on the pitch without losing Convey's contribution completely, thus bolstering an offense that's scored five goals in its last seven games.
Convey had arguably the Quakes' best chance in Colorado with a 91st-minute blast from distance that he took after sliding back to fill Corrales' role.
"Wherever Bobby is on the field, he's going to be looking to create and be dynamic," Hernandez said. "Obviously, we want him as close to the goal as possible, so left wing is our preferred and his natural position.
"But being left back, he can most definitely get up the line and provide good support and good crosses from out there, and probably have a lot of space to deal with things. If that's where he plays, it could be a huge bonus for us, getting his tireless work rate up and down the line."

Sorry if the question is old but I wasn't able to figure out the answer yet. I know that there are a lot of divisibility rules, ie: sum of digits, alternate plus and minus digits, etc... but how can someone derive those rules for any number $n$ let's say. I know it could be done using congruences, but how ?
Thank you !

I like a game which you need usehero gold to play. If you want to be online to play this game, I can borrow hero online goldto you. When you have hero online money, and than you can go on this game. Of cause, when you are first to play, you can hero money. If you have enough buy hero gold, you will be able to different games.
Later my friends told me that if I want to play the game better I should go to earn the Perfect World Gold, so I was very quickly risen to thirty levels, and then I started to play the game alone.I go to Buy Perfect World Gold to treat myself in this game. However she was also very sad when I was hurt, she was sorry about this to me and I did not complain her at last. I was very happy and we went to earn the Perfect World Silver to equip us to become strong. Today I play the game again and I can get a lot of Perfect World money for her, I take her to upgrade and then add her experience. I have a lot of cheap Perfect World Gold and I want to give her in the game, i can have a lot of pw gold if my skills of playing the game well.

Review: TDK Life on Record EB950, BA100, and BA200 Earphones
Companies that sell in-ear monitors seldom talk much about the technologies inside their products. But they should, because there are big differences between the ~$20 Philips and Skullcandy IEMs you buy at Target and the ~$200 models you get from Etymotic or Shure.
Usually, relatively inexpensive IEMs use dynamic drivers, which are essentially miniaturized versions of conventional speaker drivers. Like the woofers and tweeters in your home or car speakers, they have voice coils attached to diaphragms that move to make sound.
Most expensive IEMs use balanced armature drivers. A balanced armature looks much like a teeter-totter. The tiny "lever" of the teeter-totter — the armature — is wound with wire and suspended in a magnetic field. As electrical signals pass through the wire, the armature rocks up and down. One end of it is connected to a diaphragm, which moves to make sound.
Some IEMs have two, three, or more armatures. Some use hybrid technology, with a dynamic driver handling the bass and one or two armatures handling the mids and highs.
Generalizing about which technology is best is dicey because the only way to compare them directly would be to have samples of each technology tuned for the same frequency response, supplied with the same tips, etc. But manufacturers seldom tune their low-priced models the same way as their high-priced models.
However, we happened to get three models from TDK that use three different driver technologies: dynamic, single-armature, and dual-armature. So I thought it'd be fun to run them past our headphone listening panel — without telling them what technologies they were hearing or what the prices were — to see what they thought.
The three models are the $79 EB950 dynamic earphone, the $199 BA100 single balanced armature earphone, and the $249 BA200.
You can see from the accompanying photos that these are three very different earphones. The EB950 is the most conventional; it doesn't look much different from most other dynamic IEMs. The BA100 is a comparatively long device, designed to fit deeper into your ear while also sticking out further than normal. The BA200 employs the over-the-ear cable routing seen in IEMs from such companies as Phonak and Shure.
Three IEMS. Four listeners. One favorite.
Our panelists — S+V contributing tech editor Geoff Morrison, and L.A. voice actress Lauren Dragan, L.A. jazz musician Will Huff, and I — compared the TDK models using a Rane HC 6S six-output professional headphone amp, with a Denon DVD-2900 DVD/SACD/CD player or our smartphones or MP3 players as source devices. Although we used the Rane amp to make quick comparisons easy, all of these earphones can be driven effectively by pretty much anything with a headphone jack, including phones, computers, and other portable devices.
I'd assumed that the panelists would be impressed with the bass power of the EB950 dynamic, more impressed with the mids and highs of the BA100 single-armature model, and even more impressed with the mids and highs of the dual-armature BA200. But I was wrong.
Over and over, the most enthusiastic comments I heard concerned the BA100. "It looks weird but fits surprisingly well," Geoff said, later calling the BA100 "the best of the bunch." Lauren was even more enthusiastic. "This is the best in-ear headphone I've tried in all my Sound+Vision tests," she raved. "There's a decent amount of bass, and you can hear the distinct pitches of the bass notes. The mids and treble are clean and accurate." Will also remarked that he liked the BA100's accurate midrange, although he preferred the EB950 for its weightier bass.
I got to spend the most time with the BA100s, and came away with a favorable impression of the sound—but was also disappointed that TDK didn't put more thought into the industrial design. The earpieces hang pretty far out of your ears, and the cables are attached at the ends of the earpieces, so a slight, accidental tug on the cables can easily dislodge the earpiece. I also had fit issues. Even though I have the largest ear canals of all the panelists, I can almost always find a medium or large tip that fits me. Yet none of the silicon tips TDK provided was large enough to give me a good fit. The Comply foam tips gave me an adequate, although still imperfect, seal.
Still, the BA100 sounded great to me. The mids and treble are spectacular, with loads of detail and such a smooth, natural sound that even Vince Neil's vocals on Mötley Crüe's "Kickstart My Heart" didn't sound grating as they almost always do with other headphones. The treble, in particular, sounded smoother than that of the $119 Phonak Audéo PFE 012 single balanced armature earphone I recently tested, although the PFE 012's fit and ergonomics far outshine those of the BA100.
Probably partly because of the mediocre seal I got and partly because of the BA100's bass-shy balance, I never got a satisfying bottom end out of this model, but the bass I did get was smooth, even, and precise. To me, the BA100 sounded like a great minimonitor instead of like a great tower speaker.
Next in our panelists' assessment — and remember, they didn't know anything about the earphones they were listening to except that they were all TDKs — was the EB950. Will liked it a lot: "It's like being hit with a 10-foot wave of sound," he enthused as he listened to Linda Ronstadt's Round Midnight CD, complementing the EB950's potent bass response and enveloping ambience. But Lauren and Geoff thought the tonal balance too bass-heavy. "It's muddy and thuddy," Lauren said.
My extended audition of the EB950 left me with the opinion that the bass sounded punchy, with somewhat exaggerated dynamics, but that it wasn't grossly out of proportion with the mids and treble. To me, it sounded like a home theater system with a really good subwoofer that was turned up about +3 dB too loud for my taste. The midrange and treble sounded competent enough, but never compelling. In my opinion, the sound seemed pretty typical for a midpriced dynamic earphone. In a comparison with the $99 SOL Republic Amps HD, the EB950 wasn't embarrassed, and in fact it had a little more zip and excitement in the upper treble. Yet the Amps HD always sounded more natural and involving.
The BA200 got the least amount of love from the panel. Geoff and I both noticed problems in the upper midrange and lower treble. "It has better detail than the other two, but too much sibilance," he said when he was listening to singer Radka Toneff's recording of "The Moon's a Harsh Mistress" from her Fairytales CD. To me, the BA200 sounded as if the midrange response was uneven, accentuating certain frequencies in a way that, yes, increased the sibilance and also robbed voices of that gorgeously natural sound I heard with the BA100. I have to wonder if the BA200's somewhat rough midrange results from the crossover between the two balanced armature drivers.
Lauren found the BA200's bass rather feeble and poorly defined, although she and I both preferred the BA200's fit to the BA100's. Will's comments converged with mine: I noted an "overall lack of energy" while Will said, with perhaps a trace of puzzlement, "It lacks everything."

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The Daytona International Speedway promises the ultimate fan experience, but at the finish line at Saturdays race, it was anything but.
"Daytona racetrack -- there's two seriously injured people here, OK?" a 911 caller said. "We've been calling for paramedics and no one has showed up. We need help quick."
Dozens of fans were injured, some critically, after being hit by flying car parts that were supposed to be held inside the track by a catch fence.
"Following an incident like this, we have to look at what actually happened and what to do with it," Speedway president Joie Chitwood said.
He said NASCAR is conducting a full review to find out why a tire and an engine penetrated the fence and flew into the stands. Chitwood said the catch fence was constructed by on-sight Speedway engineers in 2010 after a similar accident at Talladega Superspeedway.
"In 2009, we had an issue with Carl Edwards getting into the fence, and following that, we had an engineer come in and do a structural review and decided under his recommendation to replace all the fencing in Daytona that occurred prior to the 2010 season," Chitwood said.
He wouldn't say how long the review process would take. Race fans who witnessed it all say accidents are inevitable.
"You got to be naive to think that something that weighs 3,000 pounds going 200 mph, the fence is going to stop it," Greg Gilson said.
Gilson was 20 rows above the area of the stands that was sprayed with flying debris, and in his opinion, changes to the fence would obstruct fans' view of the action.
"I don't think they need to change it, I don't," he said. "If they put something there to keep cars out, you won't be able to see through it. Something like this hasn't ever happened."
Others say they'll never sit that close to the track again.
"I never thought about it," Joe Lucas said. "We've been to other racetracks with cars coming at you at 200 mph."

Chocoholic: Chocolate Chip Gulab Jamun
Get the Recipe
Take a stroll through the Little India section of Singapore right now, from Race Course road, deep into the narrow and crowded side streets, and it's like the area has just exploded with color and lights. Strings and strings of bright blinking lights, flowers, glitzy garlands, and any kind of festive bling you can think of cloak just about everything. Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, is right around the corner. It's a major celebration here, and in honor of that, I've decided to recreate a classic Indian dessert, Gulab Jamun.
You've probably seen Gulab Jamun before, most likely in a silver serving dish on the sweets end of an Indian buffet line. They're little golden balls of cake soaked in a heady and aromatic sweet syrup. Most likely you've never given much thought as to how it's made. I had no idea either, until I decided to make it myself.
What I discovered was that Gulab Jamun is super easy to make. A simple dough of all-purpose flour, milk powder, leavener, butter (traditionally ghee), and milk are hand-rolled into spheres. Then, just like a mini doughnut, the balls are quick fried in oil. Finally, the fried balls are submerged in a flavorful syrup typically made from cardamom, saffron, and honey. As they cool, the firm and cakey-textured balls of fried dough soak up the syrup like a sponge. Delicious.
For my Gulab Jamun, I wanted to inject chocolate into the recipe, but I also wanted to do it with restraint. A few recipes that I came across for a "chocolate gulab jamun" looked just like a bowl of moist chocolate munchkins—tempting, but too far off course for this particular dish. I love the traditional flavors of gulab jamun so much that I didn't want to mess with a good thing. The best way to keep the chocolate flavorful but not overpowering was to add a handful of chopped chocolate to the gulab jamun dough. All else would stay the same. For the chocolate, I chose a 70% bittersweet because it's bold enough to stand up to the sweet soaking syrup. A sprinkling of pistachios on top add crunch. Served either at room temperature or chilled, these tender, drenched chocolate chip cakes are a fun twist on a classic, as well as a tasty way to introduce yourself to the world of Indian dessert making.

This represents about a year of work for us. I am really proud of our team, especially since we reached initial operational capability on 1 January 2009.
I would like to thank James Barlow and Rob Renew for sponsoring our application; Sarah Gori for leading our application process; David Bianco for helping Sarah with technical aspects of the process; and our security team members for assisting with meeting FIRST's criteria.
If you are a member of an incident detection and response team but your team is not part of FIRST, please check out the membership process. I advocated joining FIRST for three reasons:
- Joining FIRST is a sign to the world that your team has reached a certain level of maturity, stability, and capability.
- The membership process itself will help focus your team's operations and may help justify process and capability improvements that you may or may not realize you need.
- FIRST is a community of like-minded professionals with whom you can share information, practices, and lessons that might not be suitable for wider discussions.
When I speak at FIRST 2010 in Miami in June I will describe our membership process and more generally how to build a Fortune 5 CIRT. The conference is open to non-FIRST members, so please consider attending it.
Finally, I am still trying to fill a few of the roles listed here. I am particularly interested in finding a system administrator with FreeBSD and MySQL database experience, for our Information Security Infrastructure Engineer (job 1147859 at www.ge.com/careers). Please consider applying for one of the other roles within GE as well, listed below my jobs. Thank you.

Albuquerque police looking for teen they say shot brother in leg
Victim, 12, is expected to recover
Police in southwest Albuquerque are looking for a 16-year-old boy suspected of shooting his 12-year-old brother in the leg Wednesday.
The shooting occurred at 737 97th St.
Isaac Lopez's aunt brought him to a fire station at 57th Street and Central Avenue after he'd been shot, not wanting to wait for emergency responders.
He's expected to recover.
The victim's grandmother, Sophie Lopez, told police the boy's 16-year-old brother pulled the trigger, but she doesn't know how he got his hands on a gun.
"I would say it was an accident. I don't think it was done intentionally," Lopez said.
Detectives are trying to determine the circumstances of the shooting.
Lopez's grandmother said several children and teens were hanging out at her house Wednesday morning. One may have brought the gun, thinking it was a toy, she said.

Carbon dioxide, saltwater and mud have been used as natural remedies in the state spa resort of Bad Pyrmont for more than 500 years. Even Peter the Great is said to have enjoyed their therapeutic properties.
The resort, idyllically situated on the Weser Renaissance Route, combines wellness and health with a charming mediterranean atmosphere.
Culture and health
In the historic spa gardens, for example, visitors can stroll along baroque tree-lined avenues and retrace the steps of Queen Luise of Prussia through the palm garden. The town's superlative appeal is complemented by an outstanding range of arts and entertainment including cabaret, jazz, theatre and concerts, which carry the town's reputation as a centre of music far beyond its borders.
Drink to your health
As you would expect, there is no shortage of health facilities in the state spa. The 'valley of bubbling springs' not only offers visitors the chance to bathe in its saltwater, but also to take it as a therapeutic drink. Six mineral springs in total allow the health-giving properties of the saline water to be sampled.
Harmony, movement, relaxation
A Pyrmont mud bath is particularly curative, aiding joint mobility, helping the muscles to relax and stimulating circulation. The Königin-Luise-Bad health centre offers a wealth of expertise with a range of preventative and rehabilitative treatments. And after a treatment session, the Hufeland thermal baths are the perfect place to unwind before a stroll through some of the loveliest parks in Europe.

LONDON - A Pakistani schoolgirl who was shot in the head by the Taliban is in stable condition after undergoing two successful operations to reconstruct her skull and restore her hearing, the British hospital treating her said Sunday.
Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital said doctors for 15-year-old Malala Yousufzai, who was targeted for advocating girls' education, were "very pleased" with her progress after five hours of skull reconstruction and ear surgery on Saturday.
"She is awake and talking to staff and members of her family," the hospital said in a statement, adding that she would continue to recover in the hospital until she is well enough to be discharged.
The teenager drew the world's attention when she was shot by Taliban militants on Oct. 9 on her way home on a school bus in northwestern Pakistan. The Islamist group said they targeted her because she promoted girls' education and "Western thinking" and criticized the militant group's behaviour when it took over the scenic Swat Valley where she lived.
At age 11, Malala began to write a blog under a pseudonym for the BBC about life under the Taliban in the Swat Valley. After Pakistan's military ousted the militants in 2009, she began publicly speaking out about the need for girls' education. She appeared frequently in the media and was given one of the country's highest civilian honours for her bravery.
The shooting sparked outrage in Pakistan and around the world, and her story has captured global attention for the struggle for women's rights in Pakistan. In a sign of her reach, the teen made the shortlist for Time magazine's "Person of the Year" for 2012.
Malala was airlifted to Britain from Pakistan in October to receive specialized medical care and protection against further Taliban threats. She is expected to remain in the U.K. for some time after her father, Ziauddin, was given a diplomatic post based in the English city of Birmingham.
So far, doctors say she has made very good progress. She was able to stand, write and return home, and doctors said they have seen minimum signs of brain damage.

Hayne*. who is connected with both the School of Education and the College of Commerce, has written a discussion concerning the need of a teacher-training program in business education, which appeared in a recent issue of the California Quarterly of Secondary Education. "Business education Is an integral part of all education and provision should be made adequately to train those teachers who will be in charge of thi* work In secondary schools," states Professor Haynes. "For some time it was practically impossible for a teacher desiring to teach business education subjects lo prepare adequately for his chosen field In many teacher-training institutions, ln fact, in lome ttates it was necessary, and still I*, for this prospective teacher to secure his general training from a school of education and his technical content-material from a private buti-ness school " Outstanding trends in business today," education at the present Ume. ac cording to Professor Haynes, are as follows: Increased opportunities on the part of the teacher for pro-feisional growth and Improvement; deterring of specialized technical business education in secondary schools: fitting the curriculum more closely to the needs of business; closer correlation between business and the school: allowing college credit for business educa-toin courses: and attracting to the business education curricula some of the moil able student enrollment. ln regard to this last trend, Professor Haynes decile* the fact that in certain communitle* throughout the country, *tudent* of relatively ■ nferlor ability have been and still are advaed to enter tht business education department.

Best Guess: White House Deficit Projections vs. Reality
In February 2008, the Bush administration forecast a $407 billion budget deficit for the next fiscal year. It was off by more than 200%.
To be fair to President George W. Bush, he was no longer in office when fiscal year 2009's spending plan was settled. The economy was already in freefall. That meant less tax revenue alongside more spending on social-safety-net programs and a large economic stimulus program.
But a big miss on budget projections is nothing new. Even in relatively steady times, the executive budget blueprint is based in part on wishful thinking about policies and economic growth.

Global Impact 2013
Welcome to Global Impact 2013, Deloitte's annual report. A snapshot of the depth and breadth of the Deloitte story, it provides facts about our network and highlights of our work, culture, people, and broad range of businesses.
Executive message
Welcome to Deloitte's 10th Global Report—a worldwide review of our network's unwavering commitment to quality and the impact we've made in FY2013.
Vision and values
Deloitte aspires to be the first choice of the most sought-after clients and talent. We share this aspiration across the network and pursue it As One. Mindful of our role in society, our obligation to member firm clients, and our responsibility to our people, we are not afraid to aim high.
Investment in quality
Quality. It's a common thread woven through the Deloitte culture that marks all that we do. It's also a perpetual quest. Our commitment to continuous improvement allows us to meet the high standards and expectations of regulators, clients, and the investing public. We also view our investments in quality as helping create the conditions that will enable society to prosper.
World-class businesses
The world has changed. And, continues to change. How to keep up? Or, better yet, get ahead? To help clients solve their most complex problems, our firms integrate across a breadth of capabilities and leverage a truly global network to serve clients wherever they choose to compete.
Deloitte's 47 member firms have offices in over 150 countries and territories. Our firms around the world serve clients in these locations as well as many others.
Outlook and strategy
Many leaders turn to Deloitte for solutions to their most difficult issues. We've proven our ability to help organizations face severe external forces. To ensure our own growth, we collaborate with government, community, and other leading organizations and continually enhance our capabilities to be able to address outside forces before they can shape us.
Strategic acquisitions
With nearly 30 acquisitions across the network in FY2013, Deloitte has significantly augmented member firm service offerings and global delivery, particularly in the areas of innovation and service capability.
Performance numbers
FY2013 performance infographics, including revenue, headcount, locations, and community investments.
Clients & Insights
Clients want to thrive, not just survive. Here are stories from around the Deloitte network that demonstrate the transformational impact of inventive problem solving, a multidisciplinary portfolio—Consulting, Financial Advisory, Tax, Legal, Enterprise Risk Services, and Audit—analyst-recognized capabilities, deep industry know-how, and a truly global reach.
Innovative solutions
Innovation—both sustaining and disruptive—is imperative to survive and thrive in a world of exponential change. Can it be taught? Can it be put into practice to achieve repeatable results? We think so. Deloitte's integrated innovation capability combines business strategy and management consulting with design expertise to help clients predict what's around the corner and get ahead of the competition.
Financial leadership
With changing regulatory requirements, complicated tax laws, health care implementation, economic woes, and evolving stakeholder demands, among others, CFOs today are under considerable pressure. Deloitte's Global CFO Programs guide CFOs throughout their career journey to better navigate complex business challenges and support them in their efforts to help their organizations succeed.
Multidisciplinary offerings
What do large-scale transactions, mission critical strategy implementation, and the day-to-day operations of a multinational corporation have in common? Complexity. Deloitte's multidisciplinary offerings coordinate global delivery of services that address financial, tax, legal, HR, technology, risk management, and other considerations to help clients understand local market intricacies and identify global opportunities.
Audit quality
Consistent delivery of world-class audits. Working proactively with regulators around the world. Contributing to policy development to improve audit quality. Helping companies adopt international reporting standards. These are just some of the ways Deloitte fulfills its public interest role.
Ethical management
Supply chain risk ranks among the top concerns of executives, because of its potential impact to a company's brand and reputation. Yet many admit their risk management programs are not adequately effective. Deloitte helps member firm clients identify supply chain issues and resolve human rights risks.
Protecting client data
A new breed of criminal is waging war online. The frequency and ingenuity of cyber attacks continues to increase, placing great strain on organizations to protect their stakeholders. Our firms around the world have been helping companies detect fraud and prevent computer crime for years. As the largest information technology consulting practice in the world, Deloitte intensifies its focus on cyber resilience to help organizations recover from intrusions and get back to business quickly.
Broader services
Today's businesses must contend with increasingly complex legal and tax challenges. To help clients address the tax and legal implications of globalization, Deloitte has expanded its service portfolio. In Europe, broader services include a burgeoning legal practice—with 1,100 lawyers, Deloitte Legal is the sixth largest legal services organization and provides holistic guidance to multinationals in 55 countries.
Expanding clients' horizons
In a changed and increasingly competitive world, companies are seeking new markets, customers, and investment opportunities beyond their national borders. Deloitte's Country Services Groups combine the vast capabilities and experiences of a cohesive global network with local know-how and connections to help companies deal with unfamiliar cultures and business environments.
Advancing the greater good
When business joins forces with organizations who seek to advance the greater good, all parties can prosper and society—above all—benefits. Whether enabling responsive government or implementing efficiencies to improve social enterprise outcomes, Deloitte considers it a privilege to help those who seek to deliver public benefit.
Connecting clients, customers
Data proliferation is creating a rich minefield of insight into market needs and customer behaviors. For those who can make sense of it, big data can be a competition-quashing boon. In the past year, Deloitte continued to enhance strategic insight and analytical capability to deliver to member firm clients digital solutions that drive revenue.
Talent & Opportunity
One person can make a huge difference. We see that every day at Deloitte. Now, imagine the impact a global team of 200,000-plus, working together, can make. Get a glimpse of what it means to be a member of the Deloitte network.
Deloitte talent experience
Four key attributes distinguish the Deloitte talent experience: lead, develop, flex, and connect. Global and local talent programs are designed to support Deloitte people in creating their own career experiences, offer opportunities to do meaningful work, and allow them to grow, learn, and lead at every point in their careers.
Growing leaders is what we do. Our commitment to building strong leaders at every level is constant and experienced by all Deloitte people—from new hires to experienced professionals, from emerging talent to seasoned partners. We do this to strengthen connections and collaboration across the network, enabling our people to deliver high quality service.
International experience
Business is global. Therefore, doing business successfully requires global mindsets and borderless thinking. At Deloitte, international opportunity is a cornerstone of our talent experience and central to member firms' ability to serve clients well wherever they operate. Prioritizing mobility opens the door to a world of opportunity—for our people and member firm clients.
Workforce transformation
Consider French law firm Taj, a part of the Deloitte network: Half of its executives are women and give out of the 10 highest-paid employees are women, as are 42 percent of the firm's partners. Just as impressive is the 70 percent growth the firm achieved in a difficult economy. For Taj, business success coincides with its efforts to improve diversity and inclusion.
Global talent security
Keeping 200,000-plus people safe—around the clock, wherever they are in the world—is the mission of DTTL's Global Security Office (GSO). With Deloitte people traveling extensively, the GSO works tirelessly to anticipate and mitigate risks, provide security plans and support, offer guidance about general and country-specific travel issues, and create contingencies for crisis to ensure a swift response, if necessary.
Economies & Communities
Being a leading global professional services provider brings both opportunity and responsibility. We apply our skills and resources where we can make the greatest impact. Find out how we are advancing economic prosperity and social wellbeing in our communities.
Economic integrity
No country is immune to corruption. Its immoral and corrosive effects damage industrialized and developing countries. Deloitte is active in the fight against corruption, contributing to a more accountable global market. We support compliance functions, internal controls, robust training, and public policies and principles that raise business standards to help organizations recognize, resist, and confront corruption quickly.
Environmental sustainability
A global network of more than 200,000 people has a measurable influence on the environment. We're working to ensure that influence will be positive overall. Deloitte vigorously promotes environmental sustainability across the global network. And, the 800-plus dedicated member firm sustainability specialists are helping clients transition to sustainable business models and practices that will deliver long-term financial growth.
Preparing youth for tomorrow
Helping young people reach their full potential is a global mission. Working alongside educators, nonprofit leaders, and governments, Deloitte is leading the development and delivery of programs that are enabling young people to develop the citizenship, employability, professional, and entrepreneurship skills they need to thrive.
Delivering social impact
Humanitarian, environmental, and economic progress are more than aspirations; they are at the core of our organizational mindset. Deloitte member firms use their advisory capabilities to help solve the big issues we face today. We focus our efforts where we can make the biggest difference and align ourselves with organizations that share our goal to improve social impact.
Operations & Governance
Trust—fostered through quality, integrity, and consistency in every interaction—is at the heart of how we work. Here are examples of how Deloitte works diligently to earn trust and confidence.
Organizational structure
The Deloitte network comprises firms that are members of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (DTTL), a UK private company limited by guarantee. This structure allows our network to be a leader at all levels, because its central governance policies are sensitive to the professional environments and cultures of individual countries.
Leadership and governance
Diligence fosters trust. Maintaining strong governance and leadership structures, at both the global and member firm levels, helps Deloitte maintain high levels of quality and integrity and earns our network the trust of member firm clients, our people, the capital markets, and the public.
Influencing public policy
Our commitment to promote confidence and economic growth underpins our active participation in the dynamic regulatory and public policy debates around the world. Deloitte collaborates with stakeholders and contributes to policy development to improve audit quality and shape the development of strong and functioning capital markets.
Risk management
Maintaining high quality requires rigorous, diligent risk management. Risk touches every person at Deloitte. Clients depend on member firms to protect their data and serve them without conflict of interest. We work extremely hard to avoid mistakes, anticipate and manage risk, and sustain our commitment to quality.
Ethical muscle helps us recognize ethical issues when they arise, handle difficult situations with sensitivity and good judgment, and raise our voices when things don't feel right. Programs designed to promote and sustain ethical conduct, a set of global Ethical Principles and Shared Values, and multilateral efforts with leading external organizations help us build and strengthen ethical muscle.
Independence and quality are the foundations upon which Deloitte is built. They are essential to our integrity, our impartiality, our obligation to serve the investing public, and member firms' ability to retain and attract clients.
Data privacy and security
Vigilance in data privacy and security begins at home, where we protect and assures the confidentiality of our people and member firm clients. Robust processes and new technologies and services are reviewed and implemented to ensure we continue to meet internal privacy and security standards.
Reporting process
The Deloitte 2013 Global Impact Report aims to provide Deloitte stakeholders with a truly global and balanced picture of our impact on society and ongoing commitment to remain a leader in our professions.

Two of the Bay Area's most well known companies are getting into bed together.
Apple has finally launched its EasyPay point-of-sale system that is uses in its own stores for third party vendors and the iPod maker has its first customer.
The Gap's Old Navy division has reportedly signed on to use the iPod-looking devices to check customers out with their purchases.
Apple has been using the technology for years, which has helped eliminate the need for standing in line at some stores. You simply find what you are looking for, find an Apple employee anywhere in the store and check out with a credit card.
The system will also allow Old Navy to print customer receipts wirelessly to nearby printing stations.
The move is expected to help Old Navy deal with the holiday shopping rush by being able to check out customers quicker.

Police looking for man who groped girl at Austin High
He's also accused of following another student walking to the school
Crime Stoppers needs the public's help to track down a man who groped a student last week in a hallway at Austin High School, and tried to lure another student two days later as she walked to school.
At about 12:45 p.m. on Feb. 4, the suspect entered the school at 1700 Dumble, approached a female student and asked for directions to the campus's front office, according to a Crime Stoppers press release. As she escorted the suspect to the office, he grabbed her by the waist and began to kiss her mouth and neck.
The student struggled and was able to force the suspect away. He then pinned her to a wall, and made a second sexual advance. She continued to struggle, and this time was able to get away. She notified school officials and police immediately put the campus into a "lockdown." The suspect eluded a search of the campus, the press release states.
Two days later on Feb. 6, another female student told police that she was walking to school about 7:30 a.m. when she noticed a man following her.
The suspect crossed the street on the 5400 block of Jefferson and gestured toward a vacant house, telling the student, "Hey girl, you want to go with me." She immediately reported the incident to authorities on campus, and later identified the man as the same suspect from the previous incident.
The suspect is described as Hispanic male, about 5 feet 5 to 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing about 200 pounds, and having elaborate and distinguishing tattoos around his neck and shoulders.
Anyone with information about the case is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-8477 (TIPS) or the Houston Police Department at 713-308-3200. All tipsters remain anonymous.
A video of the suspect at the school, from the Crime Stoppers' YouTube page, is available below.

Watch a Guy Prank People at a Grocery Store — By Paying for Their Groceries
There's a guy named Andrew Hale who does internet pranks and weird video experiments. His latest one is kind of holiday-themed . . . he secretly paid for people's groceries right before they checked out, then filmed their reactions.
He doesn't reveal that it was him, and it's definitely interesting to see people become emotional when they get a nice surprise.
But as one commenter pointed out: Why pay for people who were already prepared to buy the stuff? Like, wouldn't it be better to buy groceries for people who straight-up couldn't afford them? Still . . . it's nice to see a good-natured prank once in a while.

Dwareg Dwarf[edit | edit source]
The Dwareg dwarves are nomadic tribes that travel trough deserts on specific routes, trading mostly for necessity, although it is not unheard of for them to try and profit off their trades. It depends largely on their tribe. Each tribe has their own color, witch they wear on their shields and on scarfs. They travel in caravans and on giant lizards, that pull their caravans. Their social standing can be determined by how long and how complicated the weave in their beards are. The chief of the tribe is usually the oldest warrior in the group, and also the biggest. Knowing how to write is rare in the tribes, but not impossible. They write on rocks the name of their tribe to designate the route they follow.
Physical Description[edit | edit source]
The Dwaregs have hair ranging from blond to straw to dark brown color, with eyes brown or blue. They have a strong build, almost like a barrel, and are very muscular. An adult Dwareg usually has a long beard, with a more or less intricate weave. Their hair is also usually long. They have tan skins and often have blue tattoos.
Origin[edit | edit source]
They are ancient families of dwarves who, many generations ago, got their cities overun with goblins. Following that, they became nomads.
Clothing[edit | edit source]
They usually wear tan or earth colored clothing, usually made of lizard leather. They also wear scarves with the color of their tribes on it. If they are warriors, they wear a leather armor.
Lands[edit | edit source]
Being nomadic tribes, they have no cities or villages. They do have traveling routes and designated rest spots. They usually have one or two recall points at each edge of their traveling route across the desert.
Food Acquisition and Diet[edit | edit source]
They often trade for their food on their different stops, and they often eat things that can be kept for a long time including potatoes, alcohol, and live stock. If they got their food by themselves, it will usually be a lizard that died of old age, of things that can be found in the desert (example: scorpion). They always cook their meat.
Dwellings[edit | edit source]
They live in tents made of animal skins.
Personality[edit | edit source]
A usual member of the Dwareg will act very patriotic towards their own tribe, always favoring it over any other faction. As a whole, they are warlike, prefering to end their quarrels with a fight, although they understamd the principle of mercy. As individuals, diplomacy is not out of the question. They are comfortable over and under land alike, but they are afraid of water (to an extent). Most of what a Dwareg will do will be in favor of his tribe. They usually underestimate any female with a delicate build, male and female Dwareg alike, although they are not sexist.
Relations[edit | edit source]
They get along well with mostly any races, especially with warlike races. They dislike orcs, goblins and dragons, both because they are natural enemies and because of territorial disputes. They will often underestimate any race with a delicate build, but will not go as far as to discriminate, so as not to offend.
Alignment[edit | edit source]
They are usually Loyal or Chaotic Good, and are never Evil.
Religion[edit | edit source]
They are either atheist of worship Moradin.
Language[edit | edit source]
They always speak Dwarven and Common, and can speak Goblin, Orcish and Undercommon.
Names[edit | edit source]
Male Names: Balin, Dáin, Durin, Dwalin, Fundin, Gimli, Glóin, Kíli, Náin, Óin, Thorin Thráin, Thrór.
Female Names: Artin, Bardryn, Diesa, Eldeth, Falkrunn, Gurdis, Helja, Kathra, Kristryd, Mardred, Riswynn, Torbera, Vistra.
Racial Traits[edit | edit source]
- +2 Constitution, –2 Charisma.
- Humanoid (Dwarf):
- Medium: As Medium creatures, Dwareg dwarves have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
- Dwareg dwarf base land speed is 20 feet. However, Dwareg dwarves can move at this speed even when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load (unlike other creatures, whose speed is reduced in such situations).
- Low-light vision: A creature with low-light vision can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of shadowy illumination. It retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions. A spellcaster with low-light vision can read a scroll as long as even the tiniest candle flame is next to her as a source of light.
- Stonecunning: This ability grants a Dwareg dwarf a +2 racial bonus on Search checks to notice unusual stonework, such as sliding walls, stonework traps, new construction (even when built to match the old), unsafe stone surfaces, shaky stone ceilings, and the like. Something that isn't stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A Dwareg dwarf who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a Search check as if he were actively searching, and a Dwareg dwarf can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. A hill dwarf can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up.
- Weapon Familiarity: Dwareg dwarves may treat dwarven waraxes and dwarven urgroshes as martial weapons, rather than exotic weapons.
- Stability: A Dwareg dwarf gains a +4 bonus on ability checks made to resist being bull rushed or tripped when standing on the ground (but not when climbing, flying, riding, or otherwise not standing firmly on the ground).
- +2 racial bonus on saving throws against poison.
- +2 racial bonus on saving throws against spells and spell-like effects.
- +1 racial bonus on attack rolls against orcs and goblinoids.
- +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against monsters of the giant type. Any time a creature loses its Dexterity bonus (if any) to Armor Class, such as when it's caught flat-footed, it loses its dodge bonus, too.
- +2 racial bonus on Appraise checks that are related to stone or metal items.
- 2 racial bonus on Craft checks that are related to stone or metal.
- Automatic Languages: Dwarf, Common.
- Bonus Languages: Orc, Goblin, Undercommon.
- Favored Class: Barbarian
- Level Adjustment: +0
