In the past few years, significant progress has been achieved in the development of room-temperature semiconductor detectors, particularly those based on CdZnTe (CZT) crystals. Several types of electron-transport-only detectors have been developed: pixel, coplanar-grid, cross-strip, drift-strip, orthogonal coplanar strip, and virtual Frisch grid, many of which are now commercially available. Despite all these varieties in the detector designs, they have many common features and problems. This review summarizes the common detector design constraints and related factors limiting performance of CZT detectors: bulk and surface leakage currents, surface effects, properties of Schottky contacts and surface interfacial layers, charge sharing and loss in multielectrode devices, charge transport nonuniformities, and fluctuations in the pulse height for long-drift-length devices. We also describe unique capabilities at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY, for CZT device characterization and recent progress utilizing these tools.

The Mentality of Transportation/Planning Bureaucrats
There is no more statist rag in the world than the New York Times, and the entire worship of the government and its regulatory apparatus was on display in an op-ed on transportation written by two college professors. Now, the op-ed must be read to fully comprehend the utter economic ignorance, the uncluttered belief in untrammeled state power, and just the snobbery and arrogance that seems to define the worst of New York City's Official Religion: Worship of the State.
First, they write that the city is in danger of becoming like a "Third-World" city because there are "poorly-regulated" private transportation. They write:
If you've ever spent time in a city in the developing world, chances are you've experienced a transit system that relies almost entirely on private commuter services. Thanks to low barriers to market entry — often anyone with a working van or bus can pick up passengers — the streets are clogged with a motley assortment of vans and buses, few of them in optimal working condition. The results are, not surprisingly, higher levels of pollution and more accidents and traffic fatalities than in cities with strictly regulated public services.
Mr. Bloomberg and the Taxi and Limousine Commission have offered assurances that better regulations will keep the city from becoming an American Calcutta or Rio de Janeiro. But that's an easy promise to make, and probably an empty one: New York's experiences with crane and building-code regulations demonstrates that enforcement usually costs more than policymakers are willing to spend, especially in lean fiscal times.
Oh, but it gets much, much better. The solution, of course, is to make sure that government limit transportation alternatives for consumers, including the government-sponsored cartel:
Private transit service will also incur social costs. For starters, because the new vans don't accept MetroCards, passengers who want to transfer from them to a public bus or train have to pay twice — a significant burden for residents with modest incomes who live along the affected routes.
Second, relying on private service means replacing well-paying transit employees with a lower-paid and typically untaxed labor force. Private van operators have reported working 14-hour days, seven days a week, for about $200 in daily pay — before maintenance expenses. These drivers have no health insurance, retirement or disability benefits. Adding more informal workers to the New York work force, even as the number of public employees is decreased, is no way to build a robust local economy.
Translated into English, this passage is saying that unless people receive government salaries and benefits, then they certainly should not be permitted to impede upon a government monopoly. Yes, the way to build a "robust" economy is to deny employment opportunities and force up the real price of public transportation.
They end with this missive:
Finally, increased dependence on fragmented transit service could be an obstacle to Mayor Bloomberg's environmental agenda, PlaNYC 2030, a vision for the next 20 years that relies heavily on an expanded and well-integrated public transit system to all parts of the city. Lobbying by newly entrenched private operators would likely pressure the city to retain inefficient parts of the status quo — to their benefit and at the public's expense.
True, the Bloomberg administration considers private transit services a temporary solution, to end as soon as the money to restart the affected routes is found. But City Hall needs to adopt a clear end date and make a meaningful investment in rigorous public regulation, including oversight and inspection, to ensure high-quality labor and vehicle standards.
On the other hand, if the operations are to continue indefinitely, then they need to be quickly integrated into the Metropolitan Transit Authority system, with MetroCard connectivity.
Above all, City Hall needs to recognize that when it comes to public programs, seemingly convenient stopgap measures can easily take on a pernicious life of their own. If it doesn't, one of the nation's most forward-thinking mayors will be responsible for taking his city's transit system back into the past.
This is exactly the kind of elitist thinking that claims to be supporting "the poor" when, in fact, they see "the poor" as nothing but wogs who get in the way of the bureaucrats' own grandiose plans for them.

Let's get this out up front - you are going to love this Inn! It perfectly compliments the beauty and uniqueness of this island paradise. And the staff perfectly compliments the Inn. This is a quiet inn, with lots of charm.
We were personally welcomed by Luke, the Innkeeper. A transplant, too, he provides the perfect overview of the inn and the island, making you feel as if you are their only guest and they stand at the ready for you! He showed us to our room, introduced us to the resident bald eagle mating pair, and told us of the small herd of (very) small black tail deer. He even told us of the suicidal tendencies of the resident slug population following a rain event! His informative and humorous dialogue is a must see!
The restaurant is superb. An intimate dinner or a round table discussion with new acquaintances is equally possible. I hope you find, as we did, that the other guests are there under the same pretences as you. Great food, good drinks, beautiful setting and enjoyable company - what could be better.
Throughout the day and early evening, you will find a small coterie of guests on the bluff overlooking the sound. Dawn and sunset are both gorgeous, but don't miss the latter. Bring your binoculars or spotting scope as the eagles are generally visible. Good conversation is the order of the day, but it is also a great place to sequestor yourself with a good book and cup of coffee/glass of wine/etc.
The Inn is centrally located on the island. Moran State Park is a 10 min drive - don't miss the hike/ride/drive to the top of Mount Constitution. It is a must. Also, there are several whale watch charter boat companies on the Island. We had luck with Deer Harbor Charters. Also, the town of Eastsound offers shops and a couple of fun restaurants, too. We had great burgers for lunch at The Lower Tavern and an incredible pie from Pizzeria Portofino! The former is a local bar with great pub grub a pool table and outdoor patio. Get a pizza pie, pickup a bottle of wine and head for a secluded spot on along the waterfront or back to your room's deck - a great call!
Suffice it to say, this inn was the golden nugget from the trip. We loved the island, the people and the culture. We will be back. And that is not unusual, based on the feedback we got from other residents.
The San Juan's are well known for their beauty and semi-remoteness. In other words, you come here because you want to be here!! Along with everyone else here. Artisans and environmentally conscious adults seem to dominate the locals. Many are transplants.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Welcome to Inn at Ship Bay. We are an eleven room, owner operated, Country Inn and Restaurant at the top of a bluff with unobstructed southern views over the waters of Ship Bay. The Inn is built around the historic 1869 Adam's farmhouse in the center of heirloom plum, pear and apple orchards. Inn at Ship Bay is located one mile from the village of Eastsound on Orcas Island, the largest and most mountainous of the San Juan Islands. Join us for a comfortable and relaxing Orcas Island experience ... more less

Not for this meetup but in general it would be good if the lectures were in English for us with pathetic Hebrew knowledge. Bitcoin knows no borders and I would guess there are more foreigners with a btc-interest in Tel Aviv than me.

6 Reasons You Should Plant an Herb Garden
- Cooking with fresh herbs is fun; it feels very "chef-y" to do things like chiffonade.
As the seasons shift, our bodies cycle through an organic ebb and flow of change that serves to harmonize and create balance within us. These changes are usually influenced by the seasons themselves: hours of daylight, foods that are abundant at particular times of the year, weather patterns and seasonally inspired activities.
Although your body will adjust to these changes naturally, it never hurts to integrate some simple tweaks into your routine to aid in the transition and link yourself more intimately with the season that is upon you.
It is important that we change with the seasons just as nature does by adapting our daily habits, yoga practice and food choices. During the winter season, the energy of the Earth and its creatures is drawn inward. We can use this time for restoration and introspection, just as many plants and animals use it for hibernation. In preparation for the spring, it is important to slow down and rejuvenate.
There is a rule in Ayurveda that "like attracts like." That is why the kapha and vata doshas can become provoked and aggravated during the dry, dark, cold months of winter. This is because the climate is alike the qualities of these two doshas. If kapha or vata are triggered, digestive fire plummets, leaving you more susceptible to colds, poor circulation, joint pains and negative emotions. Here are some yoga and lifestyle tips that can help you to balance your doshas this season.
"Our garden has gotten people so fired up," says Kate Weaver, a lead volunteer in a team of Gaiam employees who's bringing a new organic garden to life at our Boulder, Colo., headquarters. "I've never seen so much heart go into anything."
I've come to realize that one of the keys to creating healthy, flavorful meals is using fresh herbs as much as possible. But it kills me to pay $2 for a bunch of wilting cilantro when I just need a tablespoon to sprinkle on my bowl of chili. So, after years of living in an apartment with no outside access save a dreary fire escape, I finally have a porch and a yard—the perfect places to plant a container herb garden.

CD-ActionMay 13, 2013I had an impression Digital Extremes wants to make a deal. They pretend to have developed a great game (which they haven't) and I was supposed to pretend I'm having great time (which I didn't). [CD-Action 06/2013, p.54]
Apr 29, 2013In the end, this is a solid cover-based third-person shooter with co-op, a decent story, with some technical shortcomings and mediocre graphics root it firmly in the realms of licensed gaming. Still, Trek-fans will get about 10 hours of worthwhile entertainment out of this.
Apr 26, 2013What Star Trek does well is to achieve a serviceable level of entertainment. However it never stands out thanks to derivative design and occasional shoddy corners. If this was a cheaper, downloadable title I'd score it more favorably but this is competing in price and scale with bigger and more impressive games with a well practiced bag of last year's tricks.
May 30, 2013In the end, it's almost exactly what you'd expect from a big-budget cash-in based on a big-budget summer blockbuster. Flashy, but ultimately soulless and empty.
May 5, 2013With classic re-imagined 60's villains, great banter between Kirk and Spock plus a story that's actually interesting, the game is unfortunately let down by dated graphics and glitchy gaming mechanics.
Play UKMay 27, 2013Despite a few issues Star Trek: The Video Game turns out to be a surprising amount of fun. [Issue#231, p.72]
May 5, 2013At it's current MSRP, Star Trek is destined to dock at the nearest starbase for good. However, if you really enjoy co-op third person games (who doesn't?), even if they aren't very good, you might circle back to this one later when the price is far, far lower.
Playstation Official Magazine AustraliaJul 12, 2013As a game based on a movie, Star Trek is ok. This is no rush job but it lacks either the expertise or imagination to make it passable as a game in its own right. And who the hell would bother with that. [July 2013, p77]
Jun 3, 2013There was an obligation for Digital Extremes to have done something much better than what was done here.
May 23, 2013Star Trek doesn't play it smart: the game gets stranded in a galaxy full of cliches typically associated with TPSes, ignoring at the same time the stronger aspects of Roddenberry's creation.
May 21, 2013As it is we have something that is good for little more than use as an interactive movie.
May 6, 2013A clear example of how not to develop a tie-in. The plot is convincing, but everything else, from the gameplay to the technical department, does not deserve your attention.
May 6, 2013Star Trek is a dish best served to Trekkies who want to fight their way through the bowels of the new Enterprise and see what the new sickbay and engine room look like while they occasionally blast things.

Real Salt Lake heads east seeking elusive back-to-back wins
Brian Nicholson, Deseret News
Two weeks ago as Real Salt Lake prepared to host the L.A. Galaxy, defender Tony Beltran talked about what a great opportunity the match was to build momentum and prove to MLS that retooled RSL is still one of the league's elite.
Surprisingly, RSL fell flat against the Galaxy in a surprising loss at Rio Tinto Stadium. Two weeks later, it's in a very similar situation — trying to shed the inconsistency monkey.
In each of Real Salt Lake's three wins prior to last Saturday against Vancouver, the club followed those victories up with shutout losses. It's not really the statement Jason Kreis would like his team to make.
"I feel like any successful team in our league has the ability and the capability to put together a string of games. You need to have a winning streak somewhere in your season," said Kreis, who said he believes RSL is ready for such a streak.
Despite traveling across the country for a difficult midweek game at the New England Revolution this Wednesday at 6 p.m., Real Salt Lake is anxious to try and win back-to-back games for the first time in 2013.
The Eastern road swing includes a match at Montreal this Saturday, a difficult stretch indeed but one the players are looking forward to.
"I really enjoy playing midweek games, because you just get sharper, you don't have to train as much in the week. This is what you play for, more games the better it is for me as a pro. I'm excited for it, I think it's going to be two good challenges for us," said defender Nat Borchers.
Wednesday's match is the first midweek game of the season for RSL, and Kreis admitted the line-up decisions weren't going to be easy. On the one hand, he'd love to build on the momentum from last weekend's win against Vancouver and start the same 11 players, but on the other hand he must factor in fatigue both from last weekend and then for the Montreal match.
The potential return of strikers Robbie Findley and Olmes Garcia from injury also gives Kreis more line-up options.
Returning home with the maximum six points is the ultimate goal, but Ned Grabavoy said he'd like to see RSL put its best foot forward at New England.
"You look at Wednesday night and say if this is a game we can grab three points, let's do it. Then that way you're maybe not going into Saturday really feeling like you have to get something 100 percent," said Grabavoy.
Wednesday is Real Salt Lake's first appearance at Gillette Stadium since a 2-0 win at the Revolution on April 9, 2011. Despite the turf field, it won there in 2010 as well.
Against a New England team that's only scored four goals in eight games this season, the timing seems right for a strong showing from RSL. At the same time, Kreis said his team is in no position for overconfidence.
"If we take anything for granted and we look at our opponents and say that they're struggling in one area or another, that's typically when we get ourselves in a lot of trouble. We have to respect our opponents and know what they're capable of. They do have a lot of nice attacking players," said Kreis.
The Revolution are 1-1-1 at home this season, with that lone win coming on April 27 against Philadelphia. Real Salt Lake is 1-3-1 on the road.

INDIA: FDI will benefit retail sector - Tesco CFO
More overseas investment would benefit India's retail sector, Tesco CFO Laurie McIlwee insisted today (8 December).
McIlwee said the Indian government's decision to put on hold its plans to ease restrictions on foreign ownership in the country's retail industry will be to the detriment of consumers.
"It's probably a missed opportunity for customers, given the challenges of retail and supply chain in India. There's a lot of know-how around the world about how to run multi-brand retail and the likes of ourselves, Carrefour and Wal-Mart have got something to offer," McIlwee told just-style's sister publication, just-food.
Yesterday, India's ruling Congress Party confirmed that plans to reform the country's retail sector had been suspended amid fierce opposition from some local politicians and retailers.
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said the move to allow overseas investors to own 51% of multi-brand retail outlets would not be implemented until "a consensus is developed through consultation among various stakeholders".
The Indian government claimed the reforms would create jobs and modernise the country's supply chain. Opponents, however, say that allowing the likes of Wal-Mart Stores, Carrefour and Tesco to have greater access to India's retail market would put local retailers out of business.
McIlwee indicated that there would have been little change to Tesco's strategy in India even if the reforms were pushed through. Tesco runs cash-and-carry outlets with its local partner Tata Group, the Indian conglomerate. The UK retailer also operates Tata's Star Bazaar multi-brand stores for the Indian company on a franchise basis.
"Frankly there probably wouldn't have been much of a difference in terms of our strategy in India with or without FDI," McIlwee said. "There are multi-brand outlets that Tesco runs - Star Bazaar. We're the franchisee that runs those stores. There would have been more of those."
The Tesco finance chief said it was "impossible to tell" whether the reforms would go through. "This initiative has come forward so many times and has got very close to the line and not crossed it and even now crossed the line and gone back across it. We're just focusing on running our business in India as it is."
