The small three-cylinder engine also hauled in two other awards – Best New Engine and Best Engine Under One-Litre – presented by Engine Technology International magazine, and based on votes cast by 76 journalists from 35 countries.
"This is a fitting victory for a truly remarkable engine," noted awards chairperson Dean Slavnich.
This marks the first time Ford has clinched the International Engine of the Year title in the 13-year history of the awards.
"We set the bar incredibly high when we set out to design this engine," says Ford global powertrain VP Joe Bakaj. "We wanted to deliver eye-popping fuel economy, surpris- ing performance, quietness and refinement – and all from a very small three-cylinder engine."
The engine – small enough to fit on an A4 sheet of paper – was designed at Ford's technical centres in Dunton, in the UK, and Merkenich, Germany. The engine is built in Ford's plants in Craiova, Romania, and in Cologne, Germany.
It combines turbocharging, direct fuel injection and variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust to deliver the power of a larger engine with the fuel efficiency of a smaller unit.
One-litre EcoBoost innovations include an exhaust manifold, cast into the cylinder head, which lowers the temperature of exhaust gases to enable the optimum fuel-to-air ratio across a wider rev band. There is also a unique cast-iron block that warms the engine more quickly than a conventional aluminium block, cutting the amount of warm-up energy required by 50%, which, in turn, reduces fuel consumption.
The engine also has two main engine drive belts which are immersed in oil to deliver a quieter, more efficient engine.
The one-litre EcoBoost 100 PS delivers fuel efficiency of 4.8 ℓ/100 km and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of 109 g/km. The 125 PS model returns 5 ℓ/100 km with CO2 emissions at 114 g/km.
"If downsizing is the way ahead, there is currently no better example than this. [It has the] same power as the naturally aspirated 1.6 ℓ engine it replaces, and is much punchier to drive," said one of the UK journalists involved in the awards, John Simister.
"With good torque at the very low end, this high-tech three-cylinder turbo gives the driving performance of a small turbo diesel, but without noise and vibrations," added Christophe Congrega of French-based L'Automobile Magazine.
In its first full month of sales across Europe, more than 4 700 customers ordered a Focus one-litre EcoBoost, accounting for nearly a quarter of all Ford Focus cars ordered in Ford's 19 traditional European markets.
Ford of Europe plans to triple annual production of vehicles equipped with efficient EcoBoost petrol engines to around 480 000 units by 2015, up from 141 000 in 2011.
The one-litre EcoBoost engine will be made available in Ford models in the US and in Asia-Pacific and Africa, South Africa included, next year.
The winner in the 1.4-litre to 1.8-litre category of the engine awards was once again – for the sixth time in a row – the 1.6-litre, four- cylinder, direct-injection turbo petrol engine developed in cooperation by PSA Peugeot Citroën and the BMW group.

ABSTRACT: We review our recent results on Single File Diffusion (SFD) of a chain of particles that cannot cross each other, in a thermal bath, with long ranged interactions, and arbitrary damping. We exhibit new behaviors specifically associated to small systems and to small damping. The fluctuation dynamics is explained by the decomposition of the particles' motion in the normal modes of the chain. For longitudinal fluctuations, we emphasize the relevance of the soft mode linked to the translational invariance of the system to the long time SFD behavior. We show that close to the zigzag threshold, the transverse fluctuations also exhibit the SFD behavior, characterized by a mean square displacement that increases as the square root of time. This cannot be explained by the single file ordering, and the SFD behavior results from the strong correlation of the transverse displacements of neighbouring particles near the bifurcation. Extending our analytical modelization, we demonstrate the existence of this subdiffusive regime near the zigzag transition, in the thermodynamic limit. The zigzag transition is a supercritical pitchfork bifurcation, and we show that the transverse SFD behavior is closely linked to the vanishing of the frequency of the zigzag transverse mode at the bifurcation threshold. Special Issue Comments: This article presents mathematical results on the dynamics in files with longitudinal movements. This article is connected to the Special Issue articles about advanced statistical properties in single file dynamics,28 expanding files,63 and files with force and advanced formulations.29Biophysical Reviews and Letters 12/2014; 09(04):333-348.

ABSTRACT: We study the zigzag transition in a system of particles with screened electrostatic interaction, submitted to a thermal noise. At finite temperature, this configurational phase transition is an example of noisy supercritical pitchfork bifurcation. The measurements of transverse fluctuations allow a complete description of the bifurcation region, which takes place between the deterministic threshold and a thermal threshold beyond which thermal fluctuations do not allow the system to flip between the symmetric zigzag configurations. We show that a divergence of the saturation time for the transverse fluctuations allows a precise and unambiguous definition of this thermal threshold. Its evolution with the temperature is shown to be in good agreement with theoretical predictions from noisy bifurcation theory.Physical Review E 06/2013; 87(6-1):062135.

ABSTRACT: We study with numerical simulations the transverse fluctuations in quasi-one-dimensional systems of particles in a thermal bath, near the zigzag transition. We show that close to the zigzag threshold, the transverse fluctuations exhibit an anormal diffusion, characterized by a mean square displacement that increases as the square root of time. In contrast with the longitudinal fluctuations, this behavior of the transverse fluctuations cannot be explained by the single-file ordering. We provide an analytical modelization, and in the thermodynamic limit we demonstrate the existence of this subdiffusive regime near the zigzag transition, showing that it results from overdamped collective modes of the system. These calculations are extended to finite systems, in excellent agreement with the simulations data. We also exhibit some effects of the thermal fluctuations on the zigzag transition, and analyze them in the light of stochastic bifurcation theory.Physical Review E 03/2013; 87(3).

ABSTRACT: We consider a finite number of particles with soft-core interactions, subjected to thermal fluctuations and confined in a box with excluded mutual passage. Using numerical simulations, we focus on the influence of the longitudinal confinement on the transient behavior of the longitudinal mean squared displacement. We exhibit several power laws for its time evolution according to the confinement range and to the rank of the particle in the file. We model the fluctuations of the particles as those of a chain of springs and point masses in a thermal bath. Our main conclusion is that actual system dynamics can be described in terms of the normal oscillation modes of this chain. Moreover, we obtain complete expressions for the physical observables, in excellent agreement with our simulations. The correct power laws for the time dependency of the mean squared displacement in the various regimes are recovered, and analytical expressions of the prefactors according to the relevant parameters are given.Physical Review E 06/2012; 85(6).

ABSTRACT: We study the position fluctuations of interacting particles aligned in a finite cell that avoid any crossing in equilibrium with a thermal bath. The focus is put on the influence of the confining force directed along the cell length. We show that the system may be modeled as a 1D chain of particles with identical masses, linked with linear springs of varying spring constants. The confining force may be accounted for by linear springs linked to the walls. When the confining force range is increased toward the inside of the chain, a paradoxical behavior is exhibited. The outermost particles fluctuations are enhanced, whereas those of the inner particles are reduced. A minimum of fluctuations is observed at a distance of the cell extremities that scales linearly with the confining force range. Those features are in very good agreement with the model. Moreover, the simulations exhibit an asymmetry in their fluctuations which is an anharmonic effect. It is characterized by the measurement of the skewness, which is found to be strictly positive for the outer particles when the confining force is short ranged.Physical Review E 04/2012; 85(4 Pt 1):041137.

ABSTRACT: We study the Single File Diffusion (SFD) of a cyclic chain of particles that cannot cross each other, in a thermal bath, with long ranged interactions, and arbitrary damping. We present simulations that exhibit new behaviors specifically associated to systems of small number of particles and to small damping. In order to understand those results, we present an original analysis based on the decomposition of the particles motion in the normal modes of the chain. Our model explains all dynamic regimes observed in our simulations, and provides convincing estimates of the crossover times between those regimes.Physical Review E 07/2011; 84(1 Pt 1):011101.

Roland Emmerich's 'Stonewall' Adds 'How to Make It in America' Actor (Exclusive)
Jonny Beauchamp will star opposite Jeremy Irvine in the gay rights film, which is set during the riots of June 1969.
Newcomer Jonny Beauchamp has been cast in Roland Emmerich's gay rights film Stonewall.
The film, which will star Jeremy Irvine, tells the story of the riots of June 1969 after police raided the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village. Emmerich's film will focus on one man's political awakening sparked by the riots, which became a galvanizing event for the gay rights movement.
STORY: Roland Emmerich Calls Putin the 'Most Dangerous Man in the World' at Pussy Riot Event
Emmerich, the helmer of White House Down and Independence Day, will direct from a script by Jon Robin Baitz. Emmerich, Michael Fossat and Marc Frydman are producing. Executive producers on the Centropolis Films production are Kirstin Winkler and Adam Press.
Beauchamp, an up-and-comer who appeared on TV series How to Make It in America, would play Ray Castro, another gay activist and one of the first men arrested during the riots. He's also a love interest for Irvine's character.
Beauchamp, whose upcoming films include indie Thirsty (out in September), is repped by Michael Einfeld Management.

David Serero: French opera star in London
French baritone David Serero will be bringing his unique brand of opera to London next week. The singer, who has both performed under the baton of Placido Domingo and dueted with Jermaine Jackson, will be singing a wide range of material at a gala for Israeli food charity Meir Panim followed by a West End concert at the Dominion Theatre on October 18. Serero says he is looking forward to the performances: "There will be everything from Yiddish to opera to razz standards. It' going to be like a big holiday to lots of musical destinations."

The more effective tool for the job (that won't cause the phase issues to nearly the same extent) is a simple studio gobo, which is a frame, sometimes with a baffle, with sound absorbers attached. This allows the musician to play at enough volume to sound the way the musician wants to sound, while at the same time allowing absorption. The player can experiment with how much or little absorption is needed by careful placement of the thing. If necessary, the amp can be miked up very effectively by the sound guy:
This is how amps and drums are isolated for live band recordings with everyone playing together. It's not expensive to do this, and I honestly don't understand why live performance venues like clubs don't have these on hand to control volumes.

Tilting the amp raises the front edge and bottom of the cabinet off the floor. This does a small amount of decoupling the amp from the floor and reduces structure borne vibrations transmitted from cab to floor, and resonances a little. It also aims the speakers at the player and they beam less at listeners in the upper midrange and higher frequencies, where speakers tend to get ice-picky.
The little bit of decoupling they do and the angle also helps to reduce bass boom, because it reduces reflections off the floor called half space reinforcement. However, tilting the cab back can actually make things worse in a very reflective, "live" room like a gym, or sometimes even a club.
The gobo serves a different purpose entirely - it is designed to isolate the sound coming from the speaker from the general wash of noise produced by a band, so that it can be properly miked up, and because it absorbs sound pressure to a decent degree, it allows the player to crank the amp a little more without causing deafness to the audience. Does it also tend to reduce boominess of the bass? Yes, a well designed one can because it acts as a bass trap. It can also be used to shield the audience from direct beaming from the speakers. And if you have a sound man, it makes his job much easier by helping to isolate instruments from one another.
Tilting the cab in a large, live room like a gym just causes the sound to reflect and bounce around the room in a different way than not tilting it back, but it does very little to solve the other issues, and like anything else, can cause more problems in some rooms and do next to nothing in others.
On the other hand, a gobo will reduce the amount of uncontrolled bounce of sound around a room, and generally create a tighter sound, if used with a little experimentation.
In the studio it isn't unusual to surround a cab with gobos on the sides, front and on top of the cab, and stick a mic in front of the grill, to reduce bleed and sound pressure levels.
We've all heard the glare, echoes, and indistinct sound of a band in a room that's too live. The purpose of the gobo is isolation and absorption to reduce that.
While I was still practicing law in the late 80s, after the kids went to bed, my wife would want to watch TV. So I built a recording studio. I did it mainly because I needed a place to practice music where I wouldn't drive everyone crazy with noise, and because I always preferred making music to listening to it or watching someone else do it.
After making that investment of time and resources, I figured I should understand what I was doing, both musically and with the recording process itself.
So I read the classic F. Alton Everest Master Handbook Of Acoustics. It's a standard text in most college audio courses. At the time I was also reading the Rimsky-Korsakov book on orchestration. I became so immersed in this material that I began to do more and more work in the studio. Eventually what started as a hobby became my livelihood.
But I like to read. I'll read anything.
As a kid if there was nothing interesting to do I'd read the encyclopedia. I must have picked up a lot of information!
Wait a minute! They had encyclopedias way back then? They must have been hand scribed.

This kind of setup would be to obtain more isolation than usual in a live recording setting. In most cases, one or two gobos would offer enough isolation for live use or live recording. The idea is simply to keep sounds separate but not completely isolated.
These same kinds of gobos can be stacked on top of one another to give more isolation to, say, a vocalist, or a drummer, or acoustic guitarist. Most studios all over the world have gobos of one kind or another for these purposes. These happen to be nice ones made by a company called Taytrix. They're small enough to be stacked as needed, and don't interfere with lines of sight between players.
Here's a more typical setup in a larger studio, with large gobos to separate the players; these have windows permitting sight lines. Usually gobos like these are on wheeled trolleys so they can be arranged as needed:

ET congressmen running on conservative credentials
DesJarlais-Stewart 4th District race tightens
WASHINGTON — East Tennessee's all-Republican congressional delegation seemed to be coasting toward re-election until revelations about U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais' personal life reinvigorated Democrats and threw at least his political future in doubt.
DesJarlais, a Jasper Republican who is finishing up his first two-year term, is locked in a hard-fought race against Democrat Eric Stewart, a state senator from Belvidere, in Tennessee's 4th Congressional District.
Stewart has seen his fundraising surge and national Democrats have spent thousands of dollars on attack ads after lurid details leaked from DesJarlais' 12-year-old divorce, including allegations the antiabortion doctor-turned-congressman had an affair with one of his patients and then urged her to get an abortion.
Here's a closer look at the DesJarlais-Stewart race and the other congressional contests:
4th District
DesJarlais has condemned the revelations about his personal life as "dirty politics" and charged that "rather than running against a Democrat, I'm running against an old divorce."
Stewart, however, said the disclosures have shaken up the race by showing DesJarlais for whom he is.
"It has shown a level of hypocrisy to the voters that the congressman has gone up to Washington, voted and said he believes one way, yet when he has been put in that position, he has made a different choice," Stewart said.
DesJarlais concedes that the leaks have had a negative impact but argues that he's still well-positioned to win the race. His campaign released a poll this week showing him with a 13-point lead. Stewart's campaign says its own poll shows the race to be a dead heat.
DesJarlais said voters should return him to office because he has kept the promises he made when he ran two years ago, such as voting to repeal the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, and has taken tough votes to hold the line on the deficit and spending — votes that, at times, have put him at odds with his own party.
Stewart said he would not vote to repeal Obamacare because parts of the law are good, such as barring insurance companies from denying coverage for pre-existing conditions, but he says other parts of the law must be fixed.
He also accuses DesJarlais of being too partisan and promises that he would work with Democrats and Republicans to come up with solutions to the nation's fiscal problems.
3rd District
U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann promised to be a fiscal and social conservative when he first ran for Congress two years ago.
The Ooltewah Republican said he has kept that promise and is asking voters for a second term because "I am the proven conservative in this race."
"I think I have been an effective congressman," he said.
Fleischmann faces Democrat Mary Headrick, a Chattanooga physician who says voters are frustrated by Congress' failure to solve problems, by the obstructionist tactics of lawmakers like Fleischmann, and by big money's impact on politics.
"Because of our political system, those with the capital are winning," she said.
Headrick has little capital for the race — she has raised just $110,000, compared to $1.3 million collected by Fleischmann. Still, she has attacked Fleischmann for working to curb environmental regulations and eliminate the capital gains tax for two years.
"He is selling our country to the highest bidder," she said.
Fleischmann counters that placing a moratorium on the capital gains tax will encourage investment and create new jobs. If re-elected, he said he will continue to fight "reckless spending" and will continue to pursue a seven-point jobs plan to put the country back to work.
2nd District
U.S. Rep. John J. Duncan Jr., a Knoxville Republican in office nearly 24 years, insists he is not taking his re-election for granted, even though his challenger, Democrat Troy Goodale, has little money, little name recognition and, by his own admission, little chance of winning.
"I'm still just as enthusiastic about my work as I always have been," Duncan said.
Goodale, a political-science professor at Tusculum College, said Duncan is "a good guy from all accounts" but has been in Washington for so long that he's out of touch with most East Tennesseans.
"I don't think our congressman has ever had to live from paycheck to paycheck, as I have all of my life," Goodale said.
Duncan is running on a platform that includes slashing federal spending, a non-interventionist foreign policy and developing more domestic sources of energy.
Goodale wants more government investment in jobs-training programs and to give tax breaks and other incentives to companies that create jobs in the United States instead of outsourcing them overseas.
1st District
U.S. Rep. Phil Roe, a Johnson City Republican, is the heavy favorite for a third term in a race against Democrat Alan Woodruff, a constitutional and tax lawyer from Gray in Upper East Tennessee.
Roe, a physician, has been an outspoken opponent of the Affordable Care Act and expects to play a key role in crafting a new health-reform law if Obamacare is repealed.
Woodruff says Obamacare is far from perfect but supports taking steps to fix the law, such as reducing the use of unnecessary and expensive testing and passing tort reform to cut malpractice suits.
U.S. Senate
U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, a Chattanooga Republican running for a second term, may be Tennessee's safest bet for re-election this year.
His opponent, Mark Clayton, who lives outside of Nashville and has worked as an insurance salesman and flooring installer, won a crowded Democratic primary but calls himself a "tea party-style conservative."
He has no money, has been practically invisible on the campaign trail and has been disavowed by his own party because of his ties to an organization that the Southern Poverty Law Center calls an anti-gay hate group.
In an article last month, The Washington Post described Clayton as possibly "America's worst candidate" in 2012.

7 Ways To Nab Great Street Photography With A Compact Digital Camera
New compact digital cameras that have street smarts and a great price
Thanks to improvements in image quality and shutter responsiveness, a handful of compact digital cameras have become viable options for street photography. Here's how to get the most out of small-sensor cameras on the street.
In an article I wrote for the Adorama Learning Center a short while ago, Digital Cameras for Street Photography: An Opinionated Guide, the response was clear: "By the time I buy a camera, lens and accessories, this is gonna cost me a couple of grand, or even more. I can't afford that! Whatcha got for us poor folks?" My answer is: If you're willing to compromise, you can get a very serviceable street camera in the $500 range. Here's how to choose 'em—and use 'em.
The Leica M is the camera of choice for street photography, but it is out of the financial range of most street shooters. Sub-$1,000 interchangeable lens cameras such as the Sony Alpha A6000 and Fujifilm X-E2 (both of which cost under $700, not including the lens) offer amazing image quality, even at high ISOs, intuitive controls, and stealthy qualities street photographers desire.
There are also a growing number of options if you prefer a camera with a built-in lens. The most popular of these is the Fujifilm X100T, with its built-in 35mm (equivalent) lens for around a grand. You can save money by going for a camera with a smaller sensor, sensor, such as the Canon G16, Panasonic LX100, or Fujifilm X30—which cost between $449 and $599 at Adorama—you can get a camera that is just fine for quick street shooting with reasonably good image quality. No, it won't be as tack sharp as what you'll get with a Leica M and a 28mm Summicron, but at 8x10 or even 11x14, if you're shooting at ISO 400-800 (depending on the camera) you probably won't notice the difference. You almost certainly won't see any difference if all you want to do is share your images online.
The Pansonic Lumix LX-7: There's no viewfinder, but for compositional reference purposes I mounted a 28mm optical finder similar to the Voigtlander 28mm finder on the flash shoe, then zoomed in slightly to approximately match the angle of view.
If you choose to go with a compact rather than one of the $1,000-and-up models, here are some things to know to help you get the best possible photos on the street, low-budget edition:
1. Choose the right camera: Look for the following specs when buying a compact camera for street photography: Manual focus; manual exposure; an eye-level viewfinder (digital or optical) and/or a flash shoe (get an optical flash-mount type viewfinder that you can use for eye-level compositional reference). Check reviews and user chat to find out if the camera has any lag time. With autofocus turned off, you should use a camera with no more than 0.1 second of lag time. Remember: When shooting on the street, split-second timing will make or break a shot.
2. Take advantage of the small sensor's strengths: A small sensor requires a shorter focal length lens to cover a 35mm equivalent angle of view. For street shooters, that means you'll get really deep focus, even at the smallest apertures. I recently shot with the new Panasonic LX7, which has an f/1.4 lens. As you can see in the above image, shot at f/4, everything from 3 feet to nearly infinity was in focus!
3. Understand the small sensor's limits: Don't expect high image quality when shooting above ISO 200; you might be able to get away with using ISO 400 if you apply noise reduction in post-processing (turn off or minimize noise reduction in-camera) and get acceptable 8x10 or even 11x14-inch prints.
4. Go stealth: Turn off the camera's beeps and alerts so you don't attract attention while shooting candidly. Another reason to shoot manual focus: The AF assist light is a beacon saying "hey everybody, I'm taking your picture!!!" The good news? Since your camera is inevitably smaller than most larger-sensor cameras, you and your camera will be less visible or intimidating when you approach strangers on the street. Tip: When choosing a camera color, leave the fashion statements to the window displays (see photo, above, shot with the Panasonic LX7) and avoid brightly-colored cameras. Black or silver are best.
5. Break the speed limit: Use the highest shutter speed you can get away with, given the ISO limits, to better freeze the action and reduce camera movement. Try to keep your speed at a minimum of 1/250 sec, higher if possible. Remember, you can use the widest aperture and still get great depth of field; use that to your advantage to keep shutter speeds high.
6. Take a ton of photos: Memory is cheap! Shoot like crazy, and don't edit yourself. You can do that later. Photograph anything that looks interesting, get close (work that wide-angle lens!) and keep shooting.
7. Frame quickly and carefully: An eye-level viewfinder is important because it is easier to frame an image that way; using an LCD monitor can be awkward. In the photo above, even though it looks casually composed, I studied this scene and composed carefully. Also, since the Panasonic LX7 I was using has virtually no shutter lag, I was able to capture the woman's fleeting expression and awkward body language. (An exception: If your camera has a flip-up LCD, you can shoot as if you are using an old-fashioned waist-level Twin Lens Reflex camera, as many classic street shooters like Diane Arbus, Vivian Meier, and Harry Callahan did, and which I did in the shot below with a Polaroid Z340.)

Norwich — U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal was greeted at Kelly Middle School Thursday by several city school officials who quickly ushered him back into the cool drizzle to make a point.
Superintendent Abby Dolliver showed the senator how he would approach the locked doors as an outsider. Blumenthal hit the buzzer and gave his name when school secretary Sue Benoit answered the call inside the office.
"Would you like to come in?" Benoit asked.
"I hope so," Blumenthal responded.
But he had to negotiate through a second set of locked doors just inside the main entrance. Students and staff can enter the main hallway, but visitors are directed to a separate door and buzzed into the office.
In the office, Benoit and School Resource Officer Anthony Gomes showed Blumenthal the video monitoring system that can display or zoom in on images from any of the 53 cameras, including nine outdoor cameras. The cameras hold data for 30 days.
"I haven't found a school that has that number of outside cameras," Blumenthal said.
Kelly was the fourth school Blumenthal has visited thus far in a tour of the state in advance of the Senate's consideration of his "Secure Our Schools" proposal, which would provide at least $40 million to school districts for improvements such as locks, cameras, monitors and lighting.
Kelly Middle School underwent a $40 million renovation and new construction project that opened a year ago in January. Blumenthal said he was impressed by the school's security features and said they could be models for his security enhancement program.
Interior double doors in the Kelly hallways at various locations also are equipped with magnetic locks, allowing school officials to close off sections of the school. That system is used routinely during evening recreational programs that use the school gymnasium near the front of the building, Dolliver said.
Norwich Police Lt. Christopher Ferace, the Norwich police school liaison officer, said the locking door system is designed to "slow" any forced entry by an intruder.
"The idea is to slow them down," Ferace said. "Every single second counts."
Kelly students had no school Thursday, but teachers from throughout the district used the building for a professional development training day. Blumenthal and school officials interrupted one program in the school community room, where about 35 special education teachers were seated.
Teacher Susan Bernstein asked the senator for his opinion on whether schools should hire armed guards. The Enfield school board voted 5-4 Wednesday to hire security guards for all 11 schools at a cost of more than $600,000 per year.
"Is that the message we want to send to our families?" Bernstein asked.
Blumenthal said he believes that decision should be left to individual school districts. He said he personally prefers school resource police officers, who also provide mentoring and counseling services and direct interaction with students. Norwich restored two resource officers to the middle schools in this year's budget after they were removed in budget cuts two years earlier. Another six police D.A.R.E. officers work regularly with elementary schools.
"My opinion is districts need to make those decisions individually," Blumenthal said. "For some districts, armed guards might be very valuable."

Sun Ra Listening Session With Kevin Arrow at The End/Spring Break
"I have a special connection to Sun Ra," insists artist Kevin Arrow.
And this Saturday at the end/SPRING BREAK, he will be leading a special listening session, presenting Sun Ra's recordings decade by decade.
Arrow's seen Sun Ra many times over the years, both in Miami and New York. Most notably, he remembers meeting Sun Ra at the Cameo Theater in the mid '80s when the venue was putting on incredible shows by the Dead Kennedys, Sonic Youth, and Bob Dylan.
He also saw Sun Ra perform in Tobacco Toad's second-floor speakeasy. But the band wasn't on stage. They were playing in the middle of the audience.
But the connection doesn't stop there. In the early '90s, Arrow had his own Sun Ra-only transmission on Beach Radio, a pirate station out on Miami Beach. After the illegal operation was shut down, the station went live on the internet. And he continued with the show, blending Sun Ra's instrumental music and spoken word stuff.
To close this Saturday's listening session, Arrow will be showing off the full spectrum of Sun Ra, from the noisiest to the jazziest. The presentation will also include slides, sounds, and live footage. It'll be interactive. And maybe, just maybe, there'll be dancing.
Kevin Arrow's Sun Ra Listening Session. Saturday, July 23. the end/SPRING BREAK, 155 NE 38th St., Miami. The event begins at 8:30 p.m. Visit end-springbreak.com.

Arizona marks third anniversary of immigration law
PHOENIX — Opponents of Arizona's landmark immigration law took note of the
measure's third anniversary Tuesday by urging lawmakers to repeal the
legislation that sparked a national debate over border security and immigrants'
The hard-line plan was signed into law in 2010 after years of complaints that
the federal government hadn't done enough to address Arizona's role as the
nation's busiest point of illegal entry.
Democratic state Sen. Steve Gallardo, who has tried unsuccessfully for years to
get the Republican-led Legislature to overturn the law, said the legislation
known as Senate Bill 1070 helped unite national lawmakers and business leaders
against such policies, which he said went too far. Gallardo attributed President
Barack Obama's victory in 2012 partially to voters incited over the law that
sparked waves of protests and ended up before the U.S. Supreme Court.
"If there was one thing we can be thankful for is that 1070 woke up the
sleeping giant," Gallardo said. "It motivated Latino voters to get involved."
Latino activists gathered for a vigil Tuesday night at the Arizona Capitol lawn
to drive support for federal immigration changes.
"The goal of the event is to raise awareness about the fact that immigration
is about people … and to urge the Arizona Legislature to repeal SB1070 and
leave the responsibility of implementing and enforcing U.S. immigration policy
to federal authorities," said organizer James Garcia.
Republican state Rep. John Kavanagh said Arizona's "self-deportation" style
measure is still crucial to fighting illegal immigration.
Meanwhile, Obama and Republicans and Democrats in Congress are pushing for the
nation's first immigration overhaul in nearly three decades. Republicans,
including Kavanagh, portray the proposed national law as amnesty that will
trigger future waves of illegal immigration and put a strain on state and
federal social service budgets.
Arizona's law represents "a message to the federal government that we want
security," said Kavanagh, one of the measure's sponsors.
The U.S. Supreme Court struck down sections of the law in 2012, including the
requirement that immigrants obtain or carry immigration registration papers. It
upheld a requirement that Arizona officers question the immigration status of
those suspected of being in the country illegally.

Agree with Verdun. I think it more likely too dry soil.
Yes you can cut it with a hack saw or sharp knife. You just stick it in a bucket and add water until it looks like soil.
There must be woodland near you with lichen covered twigs? It is a sign on clean healthy air.
I have used Coir for Palms and other plants that need moist but free draining soil. It dries out quickly and allows root growth. I used it more for 'baggie method' seed germination and it worked well. Biggest problem is finding it in the UK at a decent price.
Pull the stem - are the rootsfine? I am thinking vine weevil grubs.
Light frosts then a fleece is all you need and must be cheaper than a box? Any stronger frost then at least all the foliage will die back/stem turns to mush. All depends also if it gets winter sun or not, next to a warmish wall, sheltered spot.
The other method for overwintering Pelagoriums is to strip most of the foliage off, most of the soil and hang them dry in a frost free dark place and bring them out in early spring...it does work but they look very sorry for themselves for the first month.
The sheds (B&Q, Homebase etc) will have them from late November.
The answer is to improve the soil. Add in lots of manure, bark and compost to improve the structure. Do not walk on beds when you have done so. Over time it will be lighter.
Why do you need to use a spade so much? I only use forks (garden and hand) on my clay loam soil as I have lost so any spades at the beginning. My cheap as anything fork has lasted. I rarely need to dig anything up now and rarely use a spade.
When you walk on it can you see water come up or when you dug into it?
If it is a new build then they normally come with a 10 year warranty on builder defects. if you soil is liquid then it sounds like a lot of water is getting in but then draining enough to not flood out...leaking pipe? Your builder should carry out tests and meet all costs. If it is not a leaking pipe then you may need a french drain.

Study finds it plays key role in development of defective cells in type 2 diabetics
THURSDAY, May 8 (HealthDay News) -- Reduced activity of an important gene during fetal development appears to increase vulnerability to type 2 diabetes later in life, new research suggests.
Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), which causes low birth weight in newborns, has been linked to the development of type 2 diabetes and other diseases when a child grows up.
And decreased activity of the Pdx1 gene during fetal development has been linked to susceptibility for type 2 diabetes later on. The gene plays an important role in the development and function of pancreatic beta cells, which produce the hormone insulin. Insulin is necessary to transport sugar from the blood stream to the body's cells for energy. People with diabetes either don't produce enough insulin or aren't sensitive enough to the insulin that is produced.
The Pdx1 gene, however, had no mutation in animals with IUGR, presenting a mystery to scientists: If there is no mutation, why is the gene permanently altered?
"What happens in the intra-uterine environment? Why does that lead to the development of diabetes later in life?" asked Dr. Rebecca A. Simmons, senior author of a paper published in the May issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
"What in intra-uterine life makes that beta cell not work properly even after you've been born into a normal environment?" added Simmons, an associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
Using a rodent model of IUGR, the researchers found that "epigenetic" changes were responsible for the lowered activity -- the gene was not totally silenced but was "markedly reduced," Simmons said. Epigenetic changes are basically changes in the structure of the DNA that occur when the cell divides and the DNA is replicated. These changes interfere with the ab

Symptoms Similar To Radiation Poisoning Killing Seals/Walruses - Russia, Alaska, Canada - Scientists Fear Could Be Infecting Entire Ocean
Poster Handle
Post Content
link to hisz.rsoe.hu
"The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration declared a recent rash of seal deaths to be an "unusual mortality event" on Tuesday. More than 60 seals have died and 75 found diseased in Alaska with skin sores and patchy hair loss. The Fish and Wildlife Service has also identified diseased and dead walruses."
"In most cases, necropsies and lab tests have revealed
skin lesions, fluid in the lungs, white spots on the liver, and abnormal growths in the brain. Some of the seals and walruses have undersized lymph nodes
, possibly a sign of weakened immuned systems."
link to hisz.rsoe.hu
A mysterious and potentially widespread disease is thought to have contributed to the deaths of dozens of ringed seals along Alaska's Arctic coast. Scores more are sickened, some so ill that skin lesions bleed when touched.
The animals are an important subsistence food, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has proposed listing them as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act."
""Right now we're leaning toward it being a virus, and that could weaken their immune system,""
"Reports of nearly 150 other seals with the illness have come in from villages outside Barrow, population 4,200, as well as from Chukotka, Russia, and Tuktoyuktak, a village on the northwestern corner of Canada, Herreman said."
"He's concerned the illness will spread up the food chain, affecting other animals and hunters near Kotzebue Sound."
""I'm scared they might pass it on one way or another and the whole ocean could be affected," Shiedt said. Folks in the Barrow region also are worried.
Many of the Slope's Inupiat residents are about to begin hunting for seals, and some are wondering if they are safe to eat, Herreman said."
"The sickest ones don't move much on the beaches and they have blisters or wounds that bleed easily, including around the nose, eyes and especially the rear flippers. Others have lost much of their hair.
"They're not deathly skinny. It's not like they're dying from malnutrition."
