PITTSBURGH (AP) - A day after falling out of first place, the Pittsburgh Pirates made a trade they feel will bolster their offense.
And it was welcome news to manager Clint Hurdle and his players.
The Pirates acquired outfielder Marlon Byrd and catcher John Buck from the New York Mets on Tuesday, hoping the veterans can help the franchise to its first playoff berth in 21 years.
The Pirates began the day a half-game behind St. Louis in the National League Central after the Cardinals took sole possession of first place Monday night with an 8-5 win over the Cincinnati Reds. The Pirates were idle.
The Pirates sent the Mets minor league infielder Dilson Herrera and a player to be named later in exchange for Byrd, Buck and cash considerations. Pittsburgh had claimed Byrd off waivers and were able to work out the four-player deal with New York.
"It's pretty neat to see us make a move like this," Pirates second baseman Neil Walker said. "We didn't expect something to happen this late. You usually figure it is something that would happen at the (July 31 non-waiver) trade deadline.
"But these are established guys who can help us get to where we want to go."
Byrd, 35, is hitting .285 with 21 home runs and 71 RBIs this season, including .345 with seven homers against left-handers, and will give Pittsburgh needed depth in the outfield while leadoff hitter Starling Marte recovers from a sprained right hand.
Buck, 33, is batting .215 with 15 home runs and 60 RBIs. Since the beginning of the 2010 season, Buck's 63 home runs as a catcher rank third in the majors. He will back up Russell Martin.
Both players are expected to join the Pirates for Wednesday night's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Neither Byrd, a 12-year veteran, or Buck, in his 10th season, have played in the postseason.
"Marlon Byrd is an impactful bat with significant numbers against left-handed pitching and John Buck is a strong receiver who works well with a pitching staff," Hurdle said. "Those were areas we were looking to improve upon and strengthen and the trade also adds a couple of layers of experience to our club."
Mets manager Terry Collins was sad to see Byrd and Buck go, calling them "two very good professionals."
"I can't tell you how much value they brought to this team," Collins said.
Pittsburgh is searching for offense to take some of the pressure off a pitching staff that has carried the team for long stretches during the first five months of the season. The Pirates lead the majors with a 3.21 ERA, though there have been signs of wear and tear this month. Pittsburgh is 11-12 in August and has seen a 4-game lead over St. Louis two weeks ago turn into a virtual tie.
Byrd has been red hot since the All-Star break, hitting .311 with 11 doubles, three triples, six home runs and 20 RBIs in his last 38 games. His presence should help an offense that is batting just .244 on the year, including an abysmal .223 with runners in scoring position, the second-lowest average in baseball.

Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar is similar to Dove's other Beauty Bars and is not recommended. Although this bar cleanser is fragrance-free, it still contains soap constituents that can be drying for skin and definitely do not rinse well. The residue this cleanser leaves on skin can impede the performance of leave-on products such as exfoliants and moisturizers.
No bar is milder. Its gentle cleansers and natural, soothing ingredients help keep your skin soft and smooth, without fragrances, preservatives and dyes.

Dove At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; available in every major drugstore and mass-market store; some very good body washes.
Weaknesses: The Beauty Bars are not as bad as true soaps, but all bar cleansers present problems for skin.
From its beginnings in the 1940s with its still-available original Beauty Bar, Dove has expanded and the curiously curtailed its selection of skin-care products to the point where their facial care offerings are back to nothing more than bar cleansers.
Although their Beauty Bars have their share of problems (such as containing drying ingredients and not rinsing well), they're better than traditional bar soap. However, if you can get past your propensity for bar cleansers, neighboring lines at the drugstore offer better, gentler, water soluble cleansers (the kind Dove has offered in the past).
Where Dove holds sway at the drugstore is with its vast selection of body washes. Although the formulas often differ only by fragrance, for the most part they are excellent, affordable options, especially for normal to dry skin. The body washes in their men's line aren't quite as elegant as those in the main line, and guys should know their skin will do just fine with Dove's regular body washes.
Note: All Dove products contain fragrance unless otherwise noted.

The new Beautypedia Team proudly and unequivocally maintains the commitment to help you find the best products possible for your skin. We do this by relentlessly pursuing and relying on published scientific research so you will have unbiased information on what works and what doesn't-and the sneaky ways you could be making your skin worse, not better!
The Beautypedia Team reviews all products using the same research, criteria, and objectivity, whether the product being reviewed is from Paula's Choice or another brand.
I also agree with the other reviewer who says this is an excellent bar soap. I was also recommended this by a dermatologist. My mother-in-law as well as my grandmother were also told to use this by their dermatologists. It leaves my skin so soft and clean without any irritation. Other so called gentle products don't even come close to being as gentle on my skin as this! I always come back to this because of how gentle it is for my incredibly sensitive skin.
Yes, it can be pore clogging but never irritating.
I have used Dove's sensitive skin beauty bar for years, I am 60. I disagree with the poor rating. My dermatologist uses this, too. My dry skin is so soft and supple after using this wonderful bar! I sometime will work up a good lather and add a little baking soda to it and it becomes a great scrub cleanser a couple times a week. I would give it a Best rating! My face is very moisturized after using Dove.

Another BS rip-off--I bought this when it first came out in a LARGE bottle--liked the smell and sunscreen, but that's about all.This year it's back, but in a tiny tube half the size-- for the same price! No way I'd get it now.

I normally like skin care stuff from the Body Shop, and I'd been using this moisturizer for a couple of months before writing this, but I'm pretty much done with it and I still have half a tube left. I had pretty normal skin but it got all wonky after using this. The citrus smell is nice, but the moisturizer is greasy and heavy and it doesn't even absorb on the skin. It broke me out on my forehead and other parts of my face, made the skin on my nose flaky, and it beaded under my foundation. I'm now using Cetaphil.

This moisturizer is more expensive as compared to Vitamin E. But it is oily, and difficult to apply it evenly on my skin. Won't buy it again.

I've used this moisturiser for more than 6 months and there's still some in the tube which may last another 2 months. Price is reasonable. I have normal to dry (drier these days), no breakouts, no pimples. I used this in the morning only. Not greasy, not sticky, absorve easily. However, I dun feel nothing about the vit C in this. No changes none whatsoever on my skin. I'm 27, few fine lines around the eyes. May not buy again since I bought 2 last time, may rethink about it in about a year time.

I bought this mostly for the sunscreen and vit C combo. I use moisturizer sparingly, but it still seemed heavy. They're a little misleading about the products usage. Site says its for face and neck. It pretty much is a sunscreen, it has the consistency and smell of one. For the price, I could buy 3 times as much REAL suncreen. Would not buy again.

An excellent titanium dioxide based sunscreen, and the best orange smell around! Besides, you get a lot of product for little money. But it�s not for me: it didn�t moisturise enough my skin; it kind of sat there and shined, and it made me break out in the forehead (I never broke out before).

I loved the smell and the consistency of it. It seemed to absorb fast, but then it turned greasy and shiny right away. I liked that it made my skin look nice and dewy, but it made me break out. I have normal to combination skin (oily in the tzone), and this gave me a few bumps and some pimples.

This lotion goes on nice and light ( a little goes a long way) and really moisturizes my face, making it feel super-soft and smooth. I like the fact that I don't have to put on an extra sunscreen, too. However, I took one lippie off for the strong Orange Juice smell that this stuff has (really clears up the sinuses!)

Crime, courts and legal issues in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin
The rarity of courthouse cleaning
We've worked in the Milwaukee County Court complex for a few years now, long enough to notice that bags of garbage left in hallways and jurors' old food trays waiting for days outside of courtrooms are so common as to be unremarkable, if unsanitary, sights.
We've seen the same elevator sit out of commission for months on end and seen cockroaches, at various times, in most areas of the building (including one of unusual strength bravely defying the water flow in a restroom).
Once, a maintenance man even pointed out to us that he'd had to come into our rented office to mop. The reason? The garbage bag he'd left in a hallway overnight had been taken out of a restroom down the hall, but someone in the restroom outside a busy criminal court had evidently relieved himself into the garbage bag.
The maintenance man had left the bag outside our office door long enough that the human waste leaked into our workspace. To his credit, he did bring bleach to mop it out with.
So we're familiar with the maintenance status of the county courthouse. And it is with this depth of experience we report seeing something today we've never seen before:
A county worker vacuuming the floor of a Safety Building elevator.
We thought about taking a picture. Is the president coming?
Update: here's what the hallway outside the Journal Sentinel's sixth-floor Safety Building office looks like right now:

10. A device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the useful electromagnetic radiation has a frequency in the range 0.1 THz to 20 THz.
11. Use of a filter in a device having a first medium for propagation of an em-wave and a semi-insulator material for coupling the em-wave from the first medium into a second medium of lower refractive index than the first medium, thereby to filter out radiation that has a frequency greater than the frequency that corresponds to the semi-insulator band gap.
[0001]The present invention relates to a device and method for optimising
the output of electromagnetic radiation from a material, for example from
a non-linear material in which the electromagnetic radiation is
generated. A particularly important use is in the extraction of terahertz
radiation from a non-linear material of high refractive index into free
space, via an intermediate semi-insulator material device.
[0002]When electromagnetic (em) radiation propagates from a first medium into a second medium, it is subject to the effects of optical refraction and Fresnel reflection, arising from any difference in the refractive index of the two media at the wavelength of the em-wave. With reference to FIG. 1(a), the magnitude of the optical refraction experienced by the em-wave in propagating from a first medium of refractive index n l into a second medium of refractive index n2 is described mathematically by: n1 sin(α1)=n2sin(α2), where a, is the angle within the first medium at which the em-wave strikes the interface between the two media, and α2 is the angle within the second medium at which the em-wave transmitted through the interface leaves the interface, each angle being measured relative to the normal or perpendicular to the interface.
[0003]When n1 is greater than n2, then there exists some angle α for which when α1 equals α then α2 equals 90 degrees. When this condition exists the em-wave is guided along a direction parallel to the interface and not transmitted into the second medium. Further, when α1 is greater than α, the em-wave is totally reflected at the interface resulting in the em-wave being returned into the first medium rather than being transmitted into the second medium, this being the principle of total internal reflection and used widely in fiber optic devices. While advantageous in fibre optic devices, the effect of total internal reflection can be detrimental to devices where transmission from a first medium of high refractive index into a second medium of low refractive index is desired.
[0004]With reference to FIG. 1(b), the magnitude of the component of the em-wave reflected from an interface between a first medium of refractive index n1 and a second medium of refractive index n2 at or near normal incidence is approximated and described mathematically by: R=(n1-n2)2/(n1=n2)2. When the difference between n1 and n2 is large, it is easily seen that the magnitude of the reflected component of the em-wave also becomes large. For example if n1, is five and n2 is one, then R is close to 45%. In many optical systems this is a detrimental loss and so means are sought to circumvent or mitigate the effect.
[0005]One solution, as shown in FIG. 1(c), is to insert an additional layer of material of intermediate refractive index (n3), i.e. n2 is less than n3 that is less than n1, between the first and second media. Excluding any affect due to interference between transmitted and reflected components, the total transmission is then given by the product of the transmissions of the em-wave propagating firstly from medium 1 into medium 3 then medium 3 into medium 2. For example, if n3 equals three and n1 and n2 are as above, the total loss is reduced to close to 12%. If the interfaces between the media are substantially parallel and the intermediate layer made appropriately thin (typically a quarter of the wavelength of the em-wave) then it is the case that interference effects can be used to further reduce the magnitude of the reflected component to close to zero, this being the principle of operation of single-layer anti-reflection coatings.
[0006]A particular example of where it is advantageous to use a device of intermediate refractive index to improve coupling of an em-wave between media of high and low refractive index is in the extraction of terahertz (THz) wave radiation from a nonlinear crystal, where for example the THz radiation has been generated in the non-linear crystal through the process of parametric wave generation. FIG. 2(a) illustrates this, showing a coherent beam of electromagnetic radiation, referred to as the pump wave 4, used to stimulate a non-linear process in a non-linear optical material 5. This divides the energy/power of the coherent pump 4 into two newly generated parametric waves, typically referred to as the signal 6 and idler 7 waves. The signal wave is usually defined in the literature as the wave providing the useful output from the device, although that is not invariably the case. The ratio in which the pump energy/power is divided between the signal and idler waves is determined by phase-matching processes and is always subject to conservation of energy, where the energy of a pump wave photon is equal to the sum of the energies of the generated signal and idler wave photons.
[0007]Within these constraints, there is considerable interest in extending the spectral coverage of parametric devices. This is because they are often used as sources of coherent electromagnetic radiation in spectral regions either not covered by any other sources or where a single parametric-wave source is capable of replacing a number of sources that would otherwise be needed in order to provide the spectral coverage required. A serious limitation encountered in attempting to extend the spectral coverage of parametric generation to new regimes of the electromagnetic spectrum is the detrimental effect of absorption within the non-linear material of one or more of the three waves involved in the non-linear interaction. As a result the spectral coverage attainable with a particular parametric generation scheme is often determined by the onset of such absorption rather than by the non-linear or phase-matching characteristics of the non-linear material. Hence, it follows that elimination of such a restriction results in improved spectral coverage attainable through the parametric generation process.
[0008]One solution to the problem of absorption in the non-linear material is to employ a configuration of interacting waves such that the wave subject to excessive absorption exits the non-linear material as rapidly as possible after its generation. This wave is usually, but not invariably, the signal wave, and is usually, but not invariably, the wave with the longest wavelength of the three waves involved in the parametric process. Two principal methods for bringing this about have been identified. One of these is based on using non-collinear phase matching in such a way as to cause the wave subject to absorption, which as previously stated is usually the wanted signal wave, to rapidly walk out from the non-linear material in a direction that is substantially lateral to the propagation direction of the pump wave, as shown in FIG. 2(b).
[0009]In FIG. 2(b), the wavelength of the signal wave is substantially different from the wavelength of the pump wave and the idler wave is close to being collinear with the pump wave. Hence, the propagation direction of the signal wave is substantially lateral to the propagation direction of the idler wave as well as the pump wave.
[0010]Examples of this technique are described in the articles "Efficient, tunable optical emission from LiNbO3 without a resonator", by Yarborough et al, Applied Physics Letters 15(3), pages 102-4 (1969); "Coherent tunable THz-wave generation from LiNbO3 with monolithic grating coupler", by Kawase et al, Applied Physics Letters 68(18), pages 2483-2485 (1996); and "Terahertz wave parametric source", by Kawase et al, Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics 35(3), pages R1-14 (2002), the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0011]FIG. 2(c) illustrates the phase-matching process for FIG. 2(b) through a so-called k-vector diagram where kp, ki, ks are the wave vectors of the pump, idler and signal respectively within the non-linear material 5, angle e is the angle subtended by the pump 4 and idler 7 waves and angle φ the angle subtended by pump wave 4 and signal wave 6. A difficulty with this approach is the extraction of the signal (THz) wave through the non-linear crystal to air interface, due to the previously described effect of total internal reflection. It is usual that the angle of incidence the signal wave makes with this interface is greater than that for which total internal reflection is observed.
[0012]One known approach, as described for example by Kawase et al, Applied Optics 40(9), pages 1423-1426 (2001), to avoid reflection at the non-linear crystal to air interface is to apply to the interface a device fabricated from the semi-insulator material silicon, this having a intermediate refractive index (n3) of around 3.2, so that the total internal reflection condition (α) at the now non-linear crystal to silicon device interface is greater than the THz (signal) wave angle of incidence. Thus, the THz wave propagates through the interface, albeit with some loss due to Fresnel reflection.
[0013]If a silicon device having a second surface opposite and parallel to the first non-linear crystal to silicon interface surface is used, the problem of total internal reflection would be translated to this silicon to air interface. With reference to FIG. 3(a), the silicon device 9 used is prismatic in form, having a silicon to air interface 12 angled to the first interface 11 such that the THz wave in the silicon impinges the silicon to air interface 12 at an angle that is near normal to the plane of the face, hence less than the total internal reflection angle for this interface, and so transmitted through the silicon to air interface 12, but again subject to a Fresnel reflection loss.
[0014]A problem with the use of silicon in THz devices is that free carriers can be created when the material is subject to illumination by light at a frequency higher or wavelength shorter than the material band-gap, which in the case of silicon is around 1 micron in wavelength. To limit the effects of stray light, as shown in FIG. 3(b), a screen 13 has been used, described for example by Kawase et al, Applied Optics 40(9), pages 1423-1426 (2001). Here the screen 13 is positioned so that it prevents pump wave light from impinging the prismatic silicon output of a coupling device that is applied to a MgO:LiNbO3 non-linear crystal. In this case, the pump wave light otherwise impinging the silicon prism arises from parasitic reflection from other optical components 14 within the THz parametric generation system.
[0015]According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a device comprising a first medium for propagation of an em-wave, a semi-insulator material for coupling the em-wave from the first medium into a second medium of lower refractive index than the first medium, and a filter for filtering out radiation that has a frequency greater or equal to the band gap of the semi-insulator. Preferably, the filter is between the first medium and the semi-insulator material.
[0016]By filtering out radiation that can stimulate free carriers in the semi-insulator material, the deleterious effects of free carrier generation can be avoided.
[0017]The first medium may be a non-linear crystal. Preferably, the em-wave is generated in the non-linear crystal through the process of parametric generation or difference frequency mixing. Although it has not previously been reported in the art, the inventors have recognised that free carrier generation in the semi-insulator material due to scatter of the pump and/or idler or difference frequency mixing waves within the non-linear medium can have a significant detrimental effect on the transparency of the semi-insulator, particularly at THz frequencies.
[0018]The filter may be a dielectric coating designed to be highly reflecting at the pump and/or idler or difference frequency mixing wave wavelengths and applied to the nonlinear crystal or the semi-insulator device or devices. While the materials used in such coatings are usually regarded as being opaque to THz radiation, and hence not appropriate, it is the case that the coating may be typically less than a few hundred nanometers thick in the case of a single layer coating and just a few microns thick in the case of a more complex multi-layer coating. Consequently, materials of high absorption coefficient at THz frequencies may be usefully employed, because absorption over the short path length can be tolerated.
[0019]The coating may be a single-layer dielectric coating. The design of the coating is dependent upon the refractive index of the first and semi-insulating material. The media refractive indices determine the coating material refractive index required, while the wavelength of the em radiation determines the thickness. As the coating is designed to block at least some of the scattered pump and/or idler radiation in the case of parametric generation or the scattered difference frequency mixing wave or waves in the case of difference frequency mixing, the design wavelength is usually, but not invariably, in the near-infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
[0020]Alternatively, the filter may be a multi-layer dielectric coating. Again, the design of the coating is dependent upon the refractive indices of the first medium and the semi-insulator material. However, the reflection from the coating is a distributed process across all the multiple coating layers. Consequently, a high degree of reflection from such a coating can be achieved independent of the refractive index properties of the medium into which the em radiation is propagating. In the case of a near infrared wave propagating from a non-linear crystal into a semi-insulator material that may have a high refractive index at this wavelength, the affect of the refractive index of the semi-insulator material on the multi-layer dielectric coating design can then be substantially mitigated.
[0021]The filter may be an absorbing filter, preferably having an absorption coefficient for the pump and/or idler or difference frequency mixing wave wavelengths that is significantly greater than for THz frequencies, in order that it may be usefully employed to substantially block said pump and/or idler or difference frequency mixing wave wavelengths yet substantially transmit the THz wave. An advantage of this is that the efficacy of the filter in absorbing the near infrared radiation is independent of the angle of incidence at which the infrared radiation impinges the absorbing filter. This can be important as the near infrared radiation to be absorbed arises due to scatter within the non-linear crystal. This scatter will be produced in all propagation directions and so impinge the absorbing filter over a large range of angles.
[0022]Suitable materials for an absorbing filter include, for example, plastics, paints, ceramics and papers. Where the thickness of the absorbing filter is of the same order of magnitude as, or greater than, the wavelength of the THz frequency radiation, care must be taken in respect to the refractive index of the filter material used. This is because optical refraction and Fresnel reflection effects must be considered in this regime.
[0023]The semi-insulator material may be a semi-conductor material such as silicon.
[0024]According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method that involves the use of a filter in a device having a first medium for propagation of an em-wave and a semi-insulator material for coupling the em-wave from the first medium into a second medium of lower refractive index than the first medium, thereby to filter out radiation that has a frequency greater than the frequency that corresponds to the semi-insulator band gap.
[0025]Various aspects of the invention will now be described for the purpose of example only and with reference to FIG. 4, which is a schematic diagram of a parametric device with a semi-insulator device for improved output coupling.
[0026]FIG. 4 shows a device for non-collinear parametric generation of THz radiation. This has a nonlinear crystal 5, which in response to a pump wave 4 generates parametrically a signal wave 6 and an idler wave 7. To enable coupling of the generated signal wave 6 from the nonlinear crystal 5, which would otherwise be totally internally reflected, an array of silicon prisms 9 is provided. Between the nonlinear crystal 5 and the array of prisms 9 is a dielectric coating layer 10. This layer 10 is selected so that it can prevent pump wave 4 and idler wave 7 radiation scattered within the nonlinear crystal 5 from impinging the silicon prism array 9. This is provided on an outwardly facing side 11 of the non-linear crystal 5. Any suitable material could be used for the filter provided it is able to block or otherwise prevent transmission of light into the array at the wavelengths of interest. For example, where it is acting as an absorber, the filter may include plastics, paints, ceramics and papers.
[0027]In use, as the pump wave 4 and idler wave 7 propagate through the nonlinear crystal 5 they are subject to scattering, resulting in a small proportion of the radiation 15 from these waves propagating in all directions within the nonlinear crystal 5. Some of the scattered radiation impinges the side face 11 of the nonlinear crystal 5 where it is substantially blocked from propagating into the silicon prism array 9 by the single-layer dielectric coating 10. Hence, the signal wave can be coupled into the prism array, whilst free carrier generation is minimised.
[0028]As a specific example, the nonlinear crystal 5 is magnesium oxide doped lithium niobate (MgO:LiNbθ3). The pump wave 4 is derived from that class of lasers based on the neodymium active ion, for example neodymium yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd: YAG) having a wavelength of 1064 nanometres. It is usual that the pump wave 4 is made to propagate along the crystallographic x-axis of the MgO:LiNbθ3 nonlinear crystal 5 with polarisation parallel to the crystallographic z-axis and further that the generated idler wave 7 propagates within the nonlinear crystal 5 at an angle of around 0.7 degrees to the pump wave 4 in the x-y crystallographic plane with polarisation parallel to the crystallographic z-axis.
[0029]For this condition the generated signal wave 6 has a frequency of 1.4 THz and propagates at an angle of 65 degrees relative to the pump wave 4. Thus for a nonlinear crystal with sides parallel to the crystallographic x-axis propagation of the signal wave 6 is at an angle of 25 degrees relative to the normal of side face 11. This angle is greater than the total internal reflection angle for a nonlinear crystal to air interface, however, the application of the silicon prism array 9 to the side face 11 allows efficient coupling of the signal wave from the nonlinear crystal into the silicon prism array. The silicon prism array 9 is designed so that the signal wave 6 in the silicon prism array impinges the silicon to air interface 12 at close to normal incidence. The prism angle β to achieve this is around 43 degrees. Preferably the prism array is fabricated from high resistivity (>10 kohm/cm) silicon so that the absorption loss experienced by the signal wave 6 is minimised. By having the filter 10 between the non-linear crystal and the array 9, free carrier generation in the silicon can be minimised.
[0030]The above description of a specific embodiment is made by way of example only and not for the purposes of limitations. It will be clear to the skilled person that minor modifications may be made without significant changes to the operation described. For example the coating may be a multi-layer dielectric coating or an absorbing coating or may be applied to the semi-insulator device or devices or may be an appropriate filter, preferably a blocking filter, simply clamped between the semi-insulator and first medium from which the em wave originates.

It took two years, roughly 100 interviews, a dozen workshops and two and a half hours in three acts, for 1812 Productions to birth It's My Party: The Women and Comedy Project. But Jennifer Childs' examination of why women are funny (Christopher Hitchens' infamous Vanity Fair article stating the opposite gets mentioned and drop-kicked out of the room early on) still seems to be suffering some labor pains.
The trouble comes from both the show's content and its form. Its ensemble of seven includes some of Philly's funniest and best-loved performers: Melanie Cotton, Charlotte Ford, Drucie McDaniel, Bi Jean Ngo, Cathy Simpson, Susan Riley Stevens and Cheryl Williams. And while each gets the opportunity to riff an Anna Deavere Smith-style anecdote or two, not all work as comedy, which is the point of the whole effort. Simpson's tale of lovemaking in lockdown? Hilarious. Williams' bout with breast cancer? Brave, touching, but not funny. (You want funny breast cancer? Google Tig Notaro and be richly rewarded with a brilliant standup routine and overt lesbian perspective, something sorely missing from this show.)

The new system will be available commercially and improve upon current technology, in terms of image quality and cost-effectiveness. It is compatible with all imaging devices, will translate and display data immediately and in its entirety, and allows for user-friendly manipulation of the data for evaluation and analysis.
Gregory Wilson, associate vice president for economic development and strategic partnerships says the license agreement represents a first for Kent State University.
"This is the first novel imaging system licensed from the university," Wilson says. "The agreement illustrates the diversity of research activity and commercial potential within the Kent State University system."
Standing Rock Imaging, LLC, has committed to maintaining a presence in Northeast Ohio, and hopes to employ residents of the region in the further development and production of the technology.

what's the rush?
Last night I made a comment to my husband about wanting to meet my baby.
He gets all happy and says "Well maybe we can have a christmas baby!"
I said "No, he's not done learning things in there yet. He'd be in the hospital. I doubt we'd be able to take him home right away"
He says "Oh. Well then stay in Uterus School dude!".
Single cutest thing he's said to the baby yet.

Seriously not everyone has some magical fun pregnancy you never want to end. Not all of us miss it either. I never once felt "empty" after DD. I want my body back--sue me.
Guess what? I've not had a magical pregnancy either. I effing hate pregnancy. This is my pregnancy after two losses, so, like, I'd super love for baby to be safely in my arms at 37 weeks. I'm no unicorn and I resent the implication
I agree with OP 100%
I retract my first statement & would like to go with most women in the world bug me.
Sassy Panda Baby Reagan Lynne-12/30/12
I never once felt "empty" after DD
I also said every woman I've talked to, which doesn't include you, sooo...
I so agree. I was a little annoyed by that young lady's post of wanting to be induced because she felt uncomfortable. I understand now she has kidney stones. Okay fine. Being able to carry life inside of you is a miracle..you can pop over to the infertility boards for proof of that. Even though I'm having trouble sleeping, my hips hurt and my feet are swelling..I feel so blessed to be able to go through this journey..especially after a lost.
I understand some women have to be induced due to medical reasons however to do so because the pregnancy is an inconvenience to you is downright selfish.
"Laughter is a tranquilizer with no side effects."
It's not entirely crazy to want babies out- fetal mortality does go up at the end of pregnancy - way up post-term. It's very tricky though because there's a fine line for sure!

Jon Stewart -- primary news source to half of America under the age of 35 -- has a few questions for the President on his drone program and the view the Administration has that it can target for assassination US citizens without due process.
I do enjoy it when Stewart turns his humor on Democrats--a rare enough pleasure in and of itself. What was even more enjoyable about this piece was the extent to which his normally slavish, left- of center studio audience was not able to muster its customary sense of humor, given the fact that "the one" was the in the humor cross-hairs. Their discomfort registered in their quietude.

Bionic Commando Rearmed 2
Question from chandler55
How do I beat the final boss?
The one with mcnamara?
5 years ago
Accepted Answer
First of all you've gotta avoid all the missiles he sends. He'll first send missiles from the right, just duck and grab the ones that are going to aim at you with your bionic arm. Then they come from above and both sides, just avoid the above ones and then duck and the side ones will go over your head. Then they come the right again, do as I said above. Then the left, same as I said above but with the left. Then he makes them come from the sides and above again, do as I said above.
Now, here's where you deal damage to him. He'll throw a ball down. Grab it, pick it up, and roll it (IMPORTANT - ROLL IT! Do NOT throw it) at him to blow up the tower he is on. Then simply run at where he was (do not worry, you won't fall off the edge) and you'll go round the next part of the building.
Simply repeat that 3 times to win.

TULSA — As of last month, Tulsa-based TokenEx technology company is providing an extra layer of security to the encrypted credit card data of tens of millions of online donors to World Vision, a global humanitarian organization that offers aid to countries throughout Africa, Eastern Europe, Asia and the Americas.
The Seattle-based nonprofit is using TokenEx's unique data security platform that replaces primary account numbers with "tokens" that can't be decrypted, said Alex Pezold, co-founder and chief executive.
World Vision and other customers retain only tokens in their environments, versus actual credit card information, he said. So, they no longer carry the risk of fraud and theft of sensitive information, he said.
Six-figure deal
TokenEx's deal with World Vision, which was completed in April, was in the six-figure range, Pezold said.
Tokenization was developed several years ago, but the technology only recently was endorsed by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council, he said. "Now, more and more competitors are getting in this game," he said.
Pezold said World Vision chose TokenEx, which he and Jerald Dawkins formed three years ago, because "we lead the pack when it comes to solutions that will enable our customers to easily embed and integrate tokenization into their existing technologies and business processes."

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Don't look for defending Daytona 500 winner Jimmie Johnson to take many chances in Thursday's qualifying race.
Johnson already wrecked one car in the exhibition Sprint Unlimited last week and really likes the Chevrolet his team has prepped and ready for "The Great American Race" on Sunday.
So Johnson was one of a handful of drivers who turned few laps in the two practice sessions Wednesday.
He says he doesn't want to risk wrecking his car, and Hendrick Motorsports having to call for the backup to be sent from North Carolina.
