Devoted to diesel
Leonard Roberson says he loves the smell of diesel engines. He loves their power. He loves the machines they power.
"For me, trucks and trains run hand in hand," says Roberson, an owner-operator leased to Tuscaloosa, Ala.-based Barnett Transportation, "Both of them have that power and that torque, and they both run on diesel engines."
He's been driving for nine years, three of them as an owner-operator, but his true love is model trains. Roberson's parents gave him a train set as a child, and he expanded his hobby until he was in his teens. In 1994, after losing his collection to a house fire, he "just sort of let it go."
When he moved to Northport, Ala., in 2006, Roberson says he resumed collecting when he discovered the Northport Train Depot. That's where he and about 25 others in the Black Warrior Model Railroad Society build and maintain an elaborate model train track and village in the converted building. Roberson has gathered more than 40 train engines and more than 200 cars from hobby shops and the Internet.
"As I got older, I wanted to get back into it," he says. "So that's what I ended up doing."

Bowstring Arch Bridges of Iowa (2004)
The graceful form of the bowstring arch bridge is a reminder of the economy and elegance of the bridge technology in the 1870s and '80s. The bowstring arch was popular for a short time and ushered the way to newer, sturdier truss bridge types. Today there are only 20 bowstrings surviving in Iowa. You can find photos and maps to their locations.
Clinton, Iowa: Railroad Town (2003)
Clinton, Iowa: Railroad Town
Large file - 154MB
Clinton, Iowa, one of the first railroad crossings over the Mississippi River, has been a major gateway to the Great Plains and beyond since 1859. For more than 100 years, the railroads employed thousands and supported a good quality of life in Clinton. Railroad activities peaked both nationally and in Clinton during and after World War II. By the 1990s, the Union Pacific was redeveloping their railroad facilities adjacent to Camanche Avenue and U.S. Highway 30. The legacy of the railroad in Clinton has been preserved in this study.
Hibernia: An Irish Immigrant Neighborhood in Burlington, Iowa (2000)
Hibernia: An Irish Immigrant Neighborhood in Burlington, Iowa
Large file - 60MB
Hibernia is mostly a memory today as is so many immigrant neighborhoods. However, there are several guideposts to the past that still witness to the history of years gone by, such as St. Patrick's Church, a beacon reflecting the Irish Catholic heritage. Murray Iron Works and the Embalming Burial Case Company and the worker's homes on the surrounding streets witness to the industrial/employee relationship of the past.
Indian Creek Channel (2010)
Council Bluffs, Iowa, 1936. Plagued for nearly a century by perennial flooding of Indian Creek, the City begins construction on a massive channelization project designed to confine the creek to its banks. Funded largely through a grant from the recently established Public Works Administration (PWA), the Indian Creek Channel, upon its completion two years later, would become the largest PWA undertaking in the State of Iowa. The construction of the Indian Creek Channel reduced both the number and severity of the city's subsequent floods, and profoundly impacted city's sanitary conditions, and both the residential and commercial development in Council Bluffs. The effects of the Indian Creek channelization, both practical and historical, are still realized today.

Leading Double Lives: The History of the Double House in Des Moines (2004)
How people choose to live depends on a variety of social and economic circumstances. The double house balances the convenience of an apartment with the psychological comforts of a home. At the turn of the century, double houses were very popular in many cities including Des Moines. This booklet tells the story of such homes in Des Moines.
Leaner Pork for a Healthier America (2000)
Since 1880, the State of Iowa has been the nation's largest pork producer; however, the popularity of pork throughout the United States has changed over time. The decline of pork among Americans during the 1960s, largely due to changing ideas about diet and the nutritional value of pork, initiated improved breeding practices to produce leaner hogs. By the 1980s, massive marketing efforts promoted pork as a healthy addition to the American dinner table. This booklet tells how the Northeast Iowa Swine Testing Station at New Hampton, Iowa, contributed to this recent chapter in the history of animal husbandry.
The Lincoln Highway Association's "Object Lessons:" (2004)
The Seedling Mile in Linn County, Iowa
As early as 1913, the Lincoln Highway Association (LHA) proposed a paved roadway from ocean to ocean. There were over a million motor vehicles while the road systems were unreliable, depending upon the weather. Because roadway improvements were initiated at the local level, the LHA encouraged "Seedling Miles" by obtaining corporate sponsors to donate cement to the locals that would pave a one mile segment. This would demonstrate the benefits of hard surface roadways. In 1917, Linn County was assured delivery of 3,000 barrels of concrete for their seedling mile.
Little Dairy on the Prairie (2005)
Iowa's dairy industry today looks very different from its heritage. Around the turn-of-the-20th century, dairy production moved from homemade cheese and butter production to the industrialization of the dairy farm and opening of cheese factories and butter creameries. The Oneida Cheese Factory in Jones County was archaeologically excavated in 2001. The dairy trends witnessed in Jones County are a microcosm of the larger premier dairyproducing region of northeast Iowa.
Marsh Rainbow Arch Bridges in Iowa (1997)
Marsh Rainbow Arch Bridges in Iowa
Large file - 90MB
The Marsh Rainbow Arch Bridge is a patented bridge design by James Barney Marsh, a graduate of Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (now Iowa State University). Around the turn of the 20 th Century, reinforced concrete was introduced in Iowa as an important new bridge construction material. Marsh used the new technology to encased steel truss arches in concrete to produce a sturdy yet esthetic arch bridge. This booklet touches on the important aspects of Marsh's life, business and industrial contributions.
Sioux City Grand Avenue Viaduct (2010)
Although nearly 75 years old, the Grand Avenue Viaduct remains an engineering achievement that solved one of Sioux City's worst traffic problems. In the 1930s, Sioux City's new viaduct offered a nearly mile-long colonnade that lifted motorists 28 feet above congested city streets and carried them from one end of the Floyd River industrial valley to the other in a matter of minutes. At a time when urban highways and elevated motorways captivated city planners and the public alike, the Grand Avenue Viaduct brought Sioux City fully into modern automobile age.
The Wever Bypass Excavations - Highway Archaeology Along the Great River Road in Southeast Iowa (2012)
This is a story about a highway project near the small town of Wever, Iowa, and an American Indian village that existed at the location prior to the Europeans' arrival. The culture that lived in this village existed in a 10 state region of the Upper Midwest and may have been the ancestors of tribes living in the Midwest when European explorers entered the region.

The Surreal Post-Punk Choreographer Celebrated in a New Book
The graceful majesty of ballet's peerless enfant terrible, Michael Clark, who forever redefined modern dance with his subversive and club-inspired choreography, is exquisitely captured in these dynamic images taken across his illustrious career. Leaving his hometown of Aberdeen to join London's Royal Ballet School in 1975 at the tender age of 13, the precocious Scot had choreographed 16 original works by the time he was 22, his "post-punk and high camp" performances selling out from New York to Tokyo. Collaborating with a coterie of musicians, artists, friends and lovers, including alt-rockers The Fall and performance artist Leigh Bowery, Clark exploded onto the infamously elitist stage, bringing dance to the masses and critics to their feet. "At his recitals the mandarins of Britain's 'high arts' would rub shoulders with a burgeoning and eclectic bohemia of rock stars, artists and musicians," explains Suzanne Cotter, one the editors of a new eponymous monograph from Violette Editions. "Many of them had never seen dance outside of a club or disco." Presenting hundreds of powerful images previously thought lost alongside four years of painstakingly collated interviews and essays, Michael Clark collects elucidating interviews, photos and essays from the legend's wide family of collaborators and colleagues, including Mikhail Baryshnikov, Wolfgang Tillmans, Grayson Perry and Ellen van Schuylenburch. In these exclusive extracts, the book's contributors expound on his unique genius.
Judith Mackrell, dance critic for The Guardian
Michael would be taking classes in the morning and then going out clubbing in the evening. Somehow his head and his body were able to combine those things. He was the interface between those two cultures at a watershed in dance history. He is completely a British product—the Royal Ballet and punk. In a way he was our genius underdog, and we've loved him for it.
Leslie Bryant, dancer and choreographer
One day, Michael performed a work-in-progress for me, a solo in a threadbare tutu, Vivienne Westwood bondage shirt and bare feet. I've never to this day seen anything so breathtaking, so technically flawless, so beautiful. I was agog. I started to throw things at him and hurl abuse because I was just so moved. And that's when I could see what everyone else was going on about. He was phenomenal.
Cerith Wyn Evans, artist and filmmaker; performer in Clark's Hail the New Puritan
He has always somehow been torn between his great respect for the classical tradition and a very powerful, anarchic, iconoclastic drive to expose its hypocrisy.
Charles Atlas, video artist; director of Merce Cunningham: A Lifetime of Dance
Coming of age when there was a more open attitude about being gay, it was something to have fun with and Michael used that. He knew sexuality was taboo.
Jann Parry, former dance critic for The Observer
There was a sense that Michael was actually performing with friends and family––a collection of people who were meaningful to him, lovers past or present, and dancers who were tough enough to bring their own qualities. They were not just unformed clay; they were individuals in their own right. Leigh Bowery was like the drunken uncle at a wedding that no celebration is complete without.

Murgh Tikka Masala
(Indian chicken masala curry)
Image by michaelhays
The chicken chunks for tikka masala are usually roasted first as for chicken tikka, but this recipe is simpler, and the chicken is just simmered in the creamy tomato sauce until tender.
4 to 6 portions
- Onion, chopped -- 1
- Garlic, crushed -- 3-6 cloves
- Gingerroot, peeled, thinly sliced -- 1-inch piece
- Oil -- 1/4 cup
- Coriander -- 1 tablespoon
- Ground cumin -- 2 teaspoon
- Turmeric -- 1 teaspoon
- Cayenne pepper -- 1/4 teaspoon
- Tomatoes, chopped or crushed -- 1 cup
- Chicken breasts or thighs, boneless, skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces -- 2 1/2 pounds
- Water -- 1/2 cup
- Salt and pepper -- to taste
- Yogurt or cream -- 1/2 cup
- Cilantro, chopped -- 1/2 bunch
- Lemon juice -- 1 to 2 tablespoons
- Garam masala -- to taste
- Add the onion, garlic and ginger to a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Add a little water if necessary.
- Heat the oil in a large pot, wok or kadhai over medium flame. Add the coriander, cumin, turmeric and cayenne and lightly toast in the oil until fragrant, 10 to 15 seconds. Add the onion puree and sauté, stirring frequently, for 5 to 8 minutes until cooked down.
- Stir in the tomatoes and simmer for 3 or 4 minutes. Then add the chicken, water, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until the chicken is cooked through and tender, anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Add more water as needed.
- Remove from heat and stir in the yogurt or cream, cilantro, lemon juice and a dash of garam masala. Adjust seasoning and serve with pulao or naan bread.
Murgh Tikka Masala Variations
- For true tikka masala, prepare the chicken as for the murgh tikka recipe and use the marinated, cooked chicken in the recipe above.
- Add more or less of the spices as you like. Adjust the heat of the dish by adding more or less cayenne pepper.
- Garnish the finished dish with some toasted cashews or almonds.
Made this recipe with the broiled chicken (linked above) and it was absolutely perfect! I've been trying a bunch of recipes, but this one was most similar to what I've gotten at restaurants. I'll never go out to eat this again.
Dairy Free recipe
Yummy! For a dairy free version of this recipe and for more on the origins of this dish, check out my blog post: http://blog.veenasmarket.com/2011/08/26/chicken-tikka-masala-quintessent...
jazz it up
I added more cayenne and some finely chopped Serrano peppers, plus a little bit of green pepper (capsicum). I also put in more tomato and curd/cream to get extra gravy. Very good served with homemade naan!
Murgh Tikka Masala
Cook on hob until you have added all the ingredients (switch to Chicken thighs for a tender meat) and bake in oven for 1hour + on a low heat so you can go out and have it waiting for your return. Steam some spinach blend and add at the end after the yogurt. Or add King Prawns or roasted veg/ veg mix ( butternut, mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes / green beans, red lentils) instead of the chicken.
Very tasty and delicious served with leftover yogurt mixed with a spoonful of mint jelly and chopped onions/toms and cucumber with popadoms.

Straight-up, there's an awful lot of a cappella going on lately. I can't explain this, but I like it. I've been a bit entranced by it since hearing a UGA group, With Someone Else's Money, do their version of a Ben Folds/Regina Spektor duet.
Aside from Folds' recent University A Cappella album, there's NBC's "The Sing-Off," and more shows coming up locally. Two Yale University a cappella groups perform in Atlanta this week, and you'll see yet more singers performing before "Avenue X" shows at Alliance Theatre this month.
AJCer Lynn Peiser wrote a bit about the local shows in "Guided by voices: A cappella music grows beyond campus borders":
Yale, being a breeding ground for collegiate all-vocal groups, is home to the oldest group, The Whiffenpoofs, who first sang their now-famous ode to Louis Linder, the owner of Mory's Temple Bar in New Haven, Conn., in January 1909.
Two Yale groups who grew out of that tradition, Out of the Blue and The Society of Orpheus and Bacchus, usually shortened to "The SOBs," are performing in Atlanta this week. They are both part of the time-honored Yale tradition of building a singing group through a frat-like rush process. Every year in September, prospective singers audition, attend performances, eat and drink with dozens of the campus' singing groups until the festivities culminate in a literal rush for the best singers in a chaotic event called Tap Night.
"One of the reasons I wanted to go to Yale was that I knew music was so important there that it replaced Greek life," said Stephanie Weinraub, 19, of Out of the Blue, who along with Harris Eppsteiner, 21, make up the two native Atlantans of the group.
Not to be outdone, here's the video of With Someone Else's Money doing "You Don't Know Me," a song that still makes me want to dance a little on the train ride home.

As kids, we all had all sorts of dreams about when we grew up. Ranging from the standard – doctor, lawyer, or police officer - to the absurd – professional wrestler – all of us wanted to be something.
For those of you who wanted to build your own supercar, your dreams are about to become reality, provided, of course, you have some resources to make the purchase.
Coming out of the land where anything and everything seems to be for sale is the patent design of an upstart American supercar company called Vollari. For every Ferrari , Lamborghini, and Pagani , there are ventures like Vollari that end up crashing to the ground before it even gets a chance to lift off. Sad, but true.
The people behind Vollari are selling the design rights, including design patents, copyrights, blueprints, 3D CAD data, a website, and even a prototype for the car, all at a fraction of the $450,000 Vollari spent on the venture.
So if you've got enough moolah in your hands, not to mention, the patience, determination, and fortitude to pick up where Vollari left off, you may end up realizing your childhood fantasies after all. It's going to be difficult given the current economic conditions that we're in, but hey, if other people were able to do it, who's to say you can't?

Ranked Game #19: Garen
Today's game was played as a duo queue game with RoG forum member NGAF. Our ratings were only 10 Elo apart, so we were naturally 4th and 5th pick — I've found that when you have two players duo queuing together with similar Elos, you will be 4th/5th 99% of the time. Anyways, this game is still fresh in my mind since I just played it (for once), so I'll try to go more in depth today.
Draft Order:
Miss Fortune Karthus
Caitlyn Vi
Jarvan IV Garen (VVinrar)
Lux Warwick
Sona (NGAF)
In today's NEW section, I'll do a quick analysis of the picking phase. The first three picks were safe picks that are usually difficult to counter. Caitlyn was picked because she does extraordinarily well at shutting down MF's strong laning phase, while Vi is a pick that can go either in the top or jungle, making sure you cannot be counterpicked. Afterwards, Jarvan ws one of the best possible picks against what was currently selected because it would ensure Caitlyn wouldn't be able to poke our team to death in "aram mode." The Lux/Warwick picks were terrible picks against our selected team because they basically countered their own team in the late game, while the last pick Sona should theoretically put a nail in the coffin for the pick game. Our team decisively won in the picking phase because of the enemy team's last picks.
In the laning phase, either team can pull an advantage. Garen wins lane against Vi easily, while Caitlyn/Leona has high potential to snowball in the bottom lane. On the other hand, both Warwick and Jarvan are relatively slow farming-based junglers, though Jarvan can pull off some decent ganks.
If our team makes it out of laning phase, we should be able to pull an easy win. It's a very bad idea to put two low damage + lockdown champions like Lux and Warwick together on the same team because if you survive their burst, you win. On the other side, we have two ubertanks and a counterinitiator, which means we should easily interrupt spell chains and win in teamfights.
Lane Matchups:
- Top: Garen vs. Vi
- Mid: Karthus vs. Lux
- Bot: Miss Fortune Sona vs. Caitlyn Leona
- Jungle: Jarvan IV vs. Warwick
Early Game:
Both teams take defensive starts at blue with little to no ganking presence. Literally nothing happens except a farmfest that is extremely atypical of this skill range.
10 minute score: 0-0-0, 76 cs. Ahead 30 cs top, behind 25 cs bot, rest of game is even, gold is even.
Mid Game:
Lux takes FB at 11:15 while Jarvan fails a gank. MF kills Leona under tower at 11:30 shortly after and then Caitlyn at 13:00. We take uncontested dragon at 14:30. Jarvan comes top to kill top tower at 17:00.
Sona kills Lux at 19:00 in a skirmish while Warwick kills our mid tower. We lose bot tower shortly after. At 19:45, Warwick and Vi try to kill Garen in jungle but the fight is turned into a 2-1 advantage for our team.
20 minute score: 1-0-1, 166 cs. Team kills 4-4, towers 1-2. Gold even
Late Game:
We take uncontested 20:45 drag. At 23:30, we take a 3-0 teamfight and first mid tower, but enemy team comes back and kills Karthus. At 25:30, an extended teamfight goes in our favor 4-2. At 27:45, enemy team kills Karthus at blue while taking a dragon. Our team is caught in a skirmish and loses 1-2 right after. We take first bot turret at 30:00.
At 31:00, we take a 5-2 teamfight in the enemy jungle, with Garen taking a triple kill (4 kills total). Garen catches and kills Leona at 32:45 and we take uncontested dragon. Final teamfight is a 4-0 at 35:00 and the enemy team surrenders.
Final score: 11-0-6, 236 cs. Team score 21-12, towers 5-2.
The good: Interesting enough for this Elo, nobody actually died for much of the early laning phase, and most champions actually farmed to a high silver/gold cs threshold. This made for a more interesting game than usual because items were built a lot faster than the average 1200-1300 game.
The bad: despite everyone farming up, everyone decided to jerk off, not pressure objectives, and turned what should have been a 15 minute laning phase into a 25 minute laning phase, with the bottom tower going down at the whopping 30 minute mark. For reference, the game ended in 36 minutes.
The game was exacerbated by our team never pressuring objectives. Everybody on my team made poor decisions, from consistently getting caught (Karthus) to not autoattacking (MF) or not actually using spells. Our team would have lost the game if the enemy team had sustained damage, but fortunately I was strong enough to 1v3 zone the enemy team in most teamfights. Even if we did not have a strong tank line or a poor laning phase, we still would have probably won the game due to our strong team composition.
Final score: 11-0-6, 236 cs. Team score 21-12, towers 5-2.
Cumulative record: 114-65-158, 4.18 kda, 4-5 on top, 8-11 overall. 1213 Elo.

I love researching new domain names. My first website was a forum for pay-per-click marketing. When I found the domain PerClickForums.com as an unregistered domain, I thought I was a genius. I sold the site and the new owners drove it into the ground (wish I still had the domain though). Later I came up with StartupHustle.com. What startup doesn't hustle a little at the beginning? When looking for a new domain you have to research to see if that great domain you just thought of is available. You might not buy a particular domain that moment as you are checking the availability of multiple names. Hopefully you weren't doing any domain research at NetworkSolutions.com recently. There are rumors is evidence that Network Solutions is registering domains that individuals are checking the availability of, and selling them at a higher price. I wouldn't even be able to describe my anger if that had happened to me.
Bill Hartzer wrote how this ethical business model was being conducted as he tried to register BillHartzerIsAwesome.com. Bill also list 12 other articles about this issue. Jay Westerdal also confirms these actions by Network Solution.
Network Solutions has responded to the front running accusations, but the damage is already done, and rightly so. I would recommend that you do any domain research and purchasing far from Network Solutions.
UPDATE: Network Solutions has announced that they will change their policy. Now they are only ripping you off half the time:
"One change is that the company will offer only an "under construction" page for sites that it has reserved…Another change coming soon is that Network Solutions will register domains only when people search for domains from the company's home page. No longer will it do so when people use the company's Whois search page."

Systems of Inequalities Help
Introduction to Systems of Inequalities
The solution (if any) for a system of inequalities is usually a region in the plane. The solution to a polynomial inequality (the only kind in this book) is the region above or below the curve. We will begin with linear inequalities.
Graphing the Solution Region for Linear Inequalities
When sketching the graph for an inequality, we will use a solid graph for "≤" and "≥" inequalities, and a dashed graph for "<" and ">" inequalities. We can decide which side of the graph to shade by choosing any point not on the graph itself. We will put this point into the inequality. If it makes the inequality true, we will shade the side that has that point. If it makes the inequality false, we will shade the other side. Every point in the shaded region is a solution to the inequality.
- 2 x + 3 y ≤ 6
We will sketch the line 2 x + 3 y = 6, using a solid line because the inequality is "≤."
We will always use the origin, (0, 0) in our inequalities unless the graph goes through the origin. Does x = 0 and y = 0 make 2 x + 3 y ≤ 6 true? 2(0) + 3(0) ≤ 6 is a true statement, so we will shade the side that has the origin.
- x − 2 y > 4
We will sketch the line x − 2 y = 4 using a dashed line because the inequality is ">."
Now we need to decide which side of the line to shade. When we put (0, 0) in x − 2 y > 4, we get the false statement 0 − 2(0) > 4. We need to shade the side of the line that does not have the origin.
- y < 3 x
We use a dashed line to sketch the line y = 3 x . Because the line goes through (0, 0), we cannot use it to determine which side of the line to shade. This is because any point on the line makes the equality true. We want to know where the inequality is true. The point (1, 0) is not on the line, so we can use it. 0 < 3(1) is true so we will shade the side of the line that has the point (1,0), which is the right side.
- x ≥ −3
The line x = −3 is a vertical line through x = −3. Because we want x ≥ −3 we will shade to the right of the line.
- y < 2
The line y = 2 is a horizontal line at y = 2. Because we want y < 2, we will shade below the line.
Graphing the Solution Region for Nonlinear Inequalities
Graphing the solution region for nonlinear inequalities is done the same way—graph the inequality, using a solid graph for "≤" and "≥" inequalities and a dashed graph for "<" and ">" inequalities, then checking a point to see which side of the graph to shade.

The room was immaculate, the bed was awesome, the maid was awesome. Breakfast on location is a plus
Location, I asked for a quiet room, the even number rooms are right next to an INterstate and very noisey all day and night. I was misinformed when I used my bank card for the room, I told them that I would pay cash, well, they double billed billed me, I am now over drawn on my checking account, if they would have told me I would have just put the money in the account when I came home. The breakfast was always cold Very misinformed
Location, staff and facilities.
Everything, we arrived early and there was one room ready so we where able to check in at 12pm. The staff where very helpful the room was clean and neat and fresh. The beds comfortable. Fridge and coffee maker present
Close to airport
Staff very friendly and personable. Room clean and in nice condition.
No problem issues
modern, quiet and cleanliness
Phylis was delightful. All the staff were friendly.
The bed was uncomfortable it felt like the mattress was sinking and left my husband and I with sore backs. The bedding although appeared clean did not smell fresh. Starbucks coffee is too strong, but many people like it so I understand why it is served. Many other motels offer a free continental breakfast, yours did not.

Designers Create Angry Birds Slingshot Controller
A fun new way to launch your favorite birds around.
It's hard to believe it's almost been three years since Rovio first released its Angry Birds mobile game. Whether you're still playing it or not, it seems like the Angry Birds brand has crawled into just about every corner of the world now. Earlier this year, the company celebrated the release of Angry Birds: Space with a giant sling shot monument.
Now, design students Andrew Spitz and Hideaki Matsui from the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design have created their own Angry Birds slingshot. Simply called Super Angry Birds, the device is a force feedback USB controller made using an Arduino-based microcontroller. Since playing Angry Birds with a mouse isn't nearly as satisfying as it is on a tablet, the controller lets users fling their angry birds in style.
Since the controller alone wasn't awesome enough for them, the designer duo also decided to create a miniature TNT detonator used to activate the special ability of certain birds. But as fun as this may look, the designers probably won't be mass producing them anytime soon if ever, so you'll just have to head on over to the project page to figure out how you can create your own.

As the sixth anniversary of the death of Bridgette Gearan approaches this month, investigators with the Galveston County Sheriff's Office say they have a person of interest in the case.
That person is currently a prison inmate in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
He's been in prison on unrelated charges. His identity is not being released.
Gearen was a single mom from Orange who was found dead on Crystal Beach on July 15th, 2007.
The 28-year-old had been beaten, raped and strangled.
On the day before her body was found, she had been at a beach house with her two-year-old daughter and friends.
Campers found Gearen's body about 100 yards from that house.

AC3 Festival 2009
This is the fifth year for AC3, offering three days of below-the-radar hip-hop spread out over multiple venues in East Atlanta and Little Five Points. National acts Rakim, Kidz in the Hall, Black Sheep, J-Live, People Under the Stairs and others share the stage with Atlanta artists such as Killer Mike, Collective Efforts and Psyche Origami.

Psychedelic Furs
A lot of post-punk British bands of the early '80s wanted to be the earlier version of David Bowie, which Bowie himself no longer wanted to be. The Furs' Richard Butler was the most successful, carving a distinctive style out of hero worship thinly disguised with a punky veneer.

Sunny DayReal Estate
Emo, punk rock's more sensitive offspring, got much of its blueprint from this cultishly adored Seattle band, which disbanded for the second time in 2001 only to reunite for another round of touring this year. It's not unassuming frontman Jeremy Enigk's fault that so many inferior talents have diluted his melancholy model.

These metal pioneers are getting a lot more respect than their forefathers, making it into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year on their first nomination.

No one would accuse Maxwell of being prolific. He's released just four albums in 13 years, and this year's "BLACKsummers'night" is his first since 2001. His classic-soul inspired sound is still remarkably powerful, and the album was worth the wait.

Grizzly Bear
It began as a bedroom-recorded, one-man project by Edward Droste. With 2006's "Yellow House," Droste recruited a band and ventured forth from his Brooklyn bedroom with his intricate and beautifully twisted electro-folk. In May, the band released "Veckatimest," an album of lush beauty that will still be revealing treasures when it lands on best-of lists at year's end.

A return to vitality with "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" earned the Irish superstars a Grammy for album of the year in 2006. This year's "No Line on the Horizon" is a disappointing muddle. That shouldn't stop this live powerhouse from delivering a mesmerizing performance during one of the year's biggest spectacles. The 360-degree, in-the-round-style stage promises unobstructed views from every seat. Early reports indicate that the band has managed to bring a surprising intimacy to the massive arenas hosting the shows.

Blink 182
The aging pop-punk boys from San Diego are back together after a five-year hiatus. Let's hope those missing years haven't resulted in too much maturity in Blink 182's live show. Back before the hiatus, the trio's gigs were always a blast of stupid, noisy fun. And it just wouldn't be a Blink show without poop jokes, sexual puns and other concerns of the average pre-adolescent.

Unless you've directly experienced bullying or cyber-bullying, you may not realize just how devastating it can be, especially to a child or teenager. As well as being deeply hurtful, bullying can leave anyone feeling frightened, angry, depressed, and totally undermined. But bullying should never be tolerated. Whether you're the one being bullied, or you're a teacher or parent who thinks their child is being bullied or engaged in bullying behavior, there are steps you can take to deal with the problem.
There is no single solution to bullying and cyber-bullying. It may take some experimenting with a variety of different responses to find the strategy that works best for your situation. To defeat a bully, you need to retain your self-control and preserve your sense of self.
By changing your attitude towards bullying you can help regain a sense of control.
Having trusted people you can turn to for encouragement and support will boost your resilience when being bullied. Reach out to connect with family and real friends (those who don't participate in bullying) or explore ways of making new friends. There are plenty of people who will love and appreciate you for who you are.

RIM thought it wiser to stop disputing Nokia's intellectual property and settled the patent row this Friday, when the companies announced they had entered into a new patent license agreement, ending all litigation between the vendors worldwide.
While litigation between Apple and Samsung continues, the focus of litigation in the smartphone industry could very well shift to other players, said Mark Newman, chief research officer at Informa Telecoms and Media's industry research division. It appears that relationships between the "biggest winners" in the smartphone industry are becoming better.
The major patent disputes in 2013 could very well be between second-tier smartphone vendors and the two big ones, he said.
"It will be particularly interesting to see if the more distressed handset vendors like Nokia are coming to see their patent portfolio as more strategic assets," said Newman.
Since Google bought Motorola Mobility to enhance its patent portfolio, companies like Nokia started to look at their own patents as a way to make money, he said. In 2013 there could be a tendency from the old handset makers that are less successful in the smartphone industry to start using their patent portfolio more.
China could also become a factor. "We expect to see further growth in the Chinese device sector," Newman said, adding that those vendors are likely to start exporting these phones. "It will be interesting to see if they start taking licenses," he said. If they don't, lawsuits would be a likely result, but they might be hard to win in China's home market, Newman added.
Consumers could very well pay the price for ongoing smartphone patent battles. Clearly, large patent dispute payouts add to the overall costs consumers pay in the market place for a smartphone today, Newman said. Although, for now, consumers seem to be willing to pay high prices for smartphones because they are so desirable, he added.
Big patent disputes will be as common in 2013 as they were in 2012, Newman said. "There is really no end in sight," he said, adding that there is always going to be a huge amount of innovation in the mobile industry, and people will keep wanting patent these innovations to protect them, he said.
The patent wars therefore will "absolutely continue", Newman said. "At least, for the foreseeable future."

important process temperature reduction. With the main advantage of
bringing some applications at industrial degree of feasibility....
Wafer Bonding
of Plasma Activated Surfaces
Wafer bonding behavior of plasma activated Si and
SiO2 surfaces was investigated. Process evaluation was performed by various
experiments. Surface energy of wafer pairs bonded after different storage
times at room temperature and after thermal annealing at 300°C was
investigated as a measure of surface activation
Wafer Bonding for 300
mm SOI Substrates Fabrication
Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) describes a sandwich-like structure in which a
monocrystalline silicon layer (named device layer) is electrically isolated
from the substrate by an oxide layer. Different fabrication methods are
competing today. A short review of the main specific challenges raised
nowadays by the specific process requirements will be reviewed in this
paper. An example of integrated automated SOI high production equipment
through direct wafer bonding will be presented.
