Fan slaps Beyonce on backside during concert in Copenhagen
Beyonce was performing in Copenhagen while on her "Mrs. Carter Show" tour, when a fan in the crowd decided to reach on stage and slap the singer on her backside.
For obvious reasons, the 31-year-old singer didn't take it well.
"I will have you escorted out of here," Beyonce yelled in the microphone towards the disrespectful fan.
Another fan in the audience managed to capture the incident on camera and, as you would expect, the video went viral online.

Commentary: Two great theories, neither up to today's task
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Some of the biggest names in economics gathered at the University of Chicago in November 2002 for a 90th birthday celebration of the brightest star of them all. Milton Friedman, a Nobel laureate and seminal thinker, was returning to the university where he had made his name.
|More from MarketWatch.com:
Oil's Set for a Summer of 'Slumps or Sizzle'
Free Imprisoned Executive Talent
Government's ETF Warning is Meaningless
One of the speakers was a Federal Reserve governor, Ben S. Bernanke. In a scholarly address, he endorsed Friedman's view that the Fed was instrumental in causing the Great Depression with a tight monetary policy that turned a contraction into something much, much worse.
In concluding, he addressed Friedman and Anna Schwartz, co-authors of the magisterial "A Monetary History of the United States," in which that thesis originally appeared. "I would like to say to Milton and Anna…regarding the Great Depression: You're right, we did it. We're very sorry. But thanks to you, we won't do it again," Bernanke said.
He kept his word. When the financial crisis and recession descended six years later, Bernanke, now the Fed chairman, followed Friedman's monetarist playbook to a "T": He flooded the system with liquidity and stuffed banks full of reserves in a series of desperate efforts to stanch the new Great Contraction.
"Bernanke is following a monetarist depression-prevention model laid out by Nobel laureate and libertarian patron saint Milton Friedman," the libertarian magazine Reason wrote in 2009. "Trillions of dollars have been staked on the insights of 'monetarism'… A series of Fed policies many libertarians find repugnant are being championed by a man claiming to take his chief inspiration from the most influential libertarian economist of the 20th century. "
Meanwhile, Presidents Bush and Obama took the route of another legendary economic theorist, John Maynard Keynes. In two, maybe 2 1/2, economic stimulus packages, they used all the Keynesian tools — direct tax rebates, temporary tax cuts, boosting unemployment insurance, bailing out state and local governments and building infrastructure — to boost consumption and thus make up for the sharp plunge in private demand.
The government spent nearly $1 trillion on stimulus programs. The Fed boosted its reserves by $2 trillion. Now, almost three years after the fall of Lehman Brothers, gross domestic product is growing at less than 3% annually, while the official unemployment rate is 9.1%. Add those who are working part time and the total is over 15%.
Theories of a previous century
Many economists agree that the drastic measures taken probably prevented a repeat of the Great Depression. But the "recovery" has been so weak that much of the public thinks, with good reason, that we never emerged from recession.
Truth is, the giants Friedman and Keynes have met their Waterloo in a housing depression that shows few signs of recovery, a financial crisis that has suppressed growth and a looming debt crisis in Europe and the U.S.
We're witnessing the collision of theory and reality. And when that happens, no matter how elegant or persuasive the theory, reality always wins.
"This stuff doesn't work the way it used to work," said Mark Skousen, who edits the Forecasts and Strategies investment newsletter and has written many books about economics, including "The Making of Modern Economics."
Skousen, who founded the annual FreedomFest conference, is a free-market libertarian. But he doesn't stick to a party line and knows the strengths and weaknesses of the economists he writes about.
Keynesianism, he told me, "always comes back during a crisis. It's not good as a growth promoter." We learned that during the 1970s, when Keynesian policies led to stagnation.
Keynes believed that recessions were the result of shortfalls in demand, and the government needed to spend money to get us out of that deep hole. It didn't matter what it spent on — roads, bridges, wars, even pyramids, as Keynes famously suggested to President Roosevelt — just as long as it spent.
Fervent Keynesians like economist Paul Krugman argue that the stimulus package wasn't big enough to bridge an "output gap" (the drop in economic activity caused by the recession) so deep it became a chasm. Krugman recommended a stimulus nearly twice what Congress passed, about $1.3 trillion to $1.4 trillion.
Unfortunately, the Obama stimulus package was a big mess, containing tax cuts nobody knew about, transfer payments to state and local governments and only a third spent on infrastructure, which should have been the whole thing. And of course it added greatly to an already ballooning deficit.
Skousen pointed out that "all of the studies show the spending multiplier is relatively weak — one to two times." In other words, for every dollar you spend on Keynesian programs, you get a dollar or two added to national income.
But, he said, "the money multiplier has been estimated to be three or four times," meaning that for every dollar the central bank injects into the economy, it generates three or four dollars in commercial banks. Presumably the banks would then loan that money to businesses.
Unfortunately, housing remains so weak and consumer spending so fragile that U.S. business owners are reluctant to hire new workers. And banks, stung by the financial crisis, are hoarding cash to meet more stringent capital requirements rather than lending.
No wonder money is sitting on their balance sheets rather than circulating in the economy, as Friedman's theory predicted it would.
The Fed's easy money policy is also weakening the dollar and creating some food and energy inflation, which in turn crimps domestic demand as consumers pay more in the grocery store and at the pump. And although stock prices have risen, the gains have been offset for many by the decline in home values.
Meanwhile, technological innovation has allowed businesses to raise output without hiring more people. And globalization continues to drive jobs overseas where multinationals are hiring big time.
The bottom line: The tools that governments have used for decades just aren't doing the job anymore, including supply-side tax cuts, which didn't boost GDP growth or employment much in the 2000s.
The Canadian way
Skousen would like to see a more business-friendly restructuring of the tax and regulatory system of the kind Canada started in the mid-1990s. "They cut everything — government went from 53% of GDP to 39%," he said. Result: 11 years of balanced budgets, lower unemployment than the US, and a milder recession.
Some of those ideas are worth trying, but Canada has one-tenth our population and more tightly regulated banks, is a big energy and commodity producer and already has government-run health care.
Maybe all that money sitting in our banks' coffers will begin to circulate in the economy again, ultimately vindicating Friedman. But most likely we're in for a long period in which government action can't fix our problems.
"There's no free lunch in monetary policy," said Skousen. Nor is there one in fiscal policy, either. That could mean tough times for a lot of people.
Somewhere some brilliant economist might be figuring out a new way to solve these knotty problems. If he or she succeeds, there'll be a Nobel Prize with his or her name on it. Only then will we be able to move beyond great 20th Century thinkers like Friedman and Keynes, whose moment has now passed.

En Masse forced to go "deeper" for TERA westernization
En Masse's detailed how it localised MMO TERA for its upcoming western release.
Speaking as part of its latest Race and Class update, the company said the localisation involved plenty more than translating languages.
"Some people hear the word 'westernization' and think, 'You mean translation,'" it reads.
"To truly westernize, though, we have to go deeper than that. Yes, there are times when funny translation mishaps drive us to change things, but as we westernize TERA, we're looking at the game as a whole and distinguishing what type of gameplay our players want and what kind of story will pull them in.
"Working with the development team, our bottom-line goal is to make sure that when you sit down to play, you feel that TERA was made for you."
The MMO will also let players play by plugging in their Xbox 360 controllers to PCs.
TERA releases in the west in mid 2011. It launched last week in South Korea.
Thanks, Massively.

300-Word History Lesson: Colin Powell and the WMDs That Didn't Exist
Ten years ago this week, in a presentation to the United Nations Security Council that he would later call "one of my momentous failures," then-Secretary of State Colin Powell made the case for a U.S. invasion of Iraq. "Leaving Saddam Hussein in possession of weapons of mass destruction for a few more months or years is not an option, not in a post-September 11th world," Powell said. Six weeks later, on March 20th, the war in Iraq began with precision missile strikes on Baghdad, a tactic dubbed "shock and awe."
In fact, as the world learned soon enough, the intelligence that Powell based his speech on was seriously flawed—Saddam Hussein did not possess WMDs, and none were ever found in Iraq. By September 2005, Powell himself was on national television describing his U.N. appearance to Barbara Walters as a lasting "blot" on his record.
Powell's elaborate presentation included satellite photographs of what he claimed were facilities for the manufacture of chemical and biological weapons, and the "eyewitness" account of an Iraqi engineer who ran a mobile WMD lab. He dramatically displayed a vial of white powder as he described Iraq's extensive stockpile of anthrax. "My colleagues," he said, in what turned out to be his most self-damning claim, "every statement I make today is backed up by sources, solid sources. These are not assertions. What we're giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence."
As Powell has acknowledged, they were anything but.
If the WMDs weren't real, the war in Iraq certainly was. It lasted more than seven years and left 4,487 American servicemembers dead and 32,226 wounded. Iraqi deaths exceeded 100,000.

Dan's Mountain State Park is a state park in Allegany County, Maryland, located 9 miles (14 km) south of Frostburg, next to the town of Lonaconing. The park occupies 482 acres (195 ha) on 16-mile-long (26 km) Dans Mountain.
Dans Mountain was named after Daniel Cresap, the son of Thomas Cresap and an early settler of Allegany County, who fell from a tree on the mountain while hunting bear cubs. According to the legendary tale, Cresap's hunting companion, the Delaware Indian Nemacolin, found his unconscious body and using a horse and litter dragged him home to safety.[3]
Activities and amenities[edit]
The park features a wide variety of wildlife, mountain streams, and scenic overlooks as well as a pond that is stocked annually, an Olympic-sized swimming pool with modern bathhouse, and concession stands that serve the area from Memorial Day to Labor Day.[4]
Dan's Rock[edit]
Dan's Rock, the highest point in Allegany County at 2,898 feet (883 m), is part of Dan's Mountain Wildlife Management Area and can be accessed from Old Dan's Rock Road in Midland. There is no direct access to Dan's Rock Overlook from Dan's Mountain State Park.

Wii U: New Super Mario Bros. U revealed at E3 (trailer)
It would be weird if Nintendo's chubby, moustachioed plumber didn't get a look in at the games giant's E3 press conference and, thankfully, we weren't disappointed. New Super Mario Bros U - for the company's latest console, Wii U - may not be a deep and rich 3D platforming experience, but something tells us that this 2D sideways scrolling title may be one of the best yet.
First part of the proof of concept demos Pocket-lint saw on the Wii U last year, this new Mario game will introduce many new features, including Miiverse social gaming functionality. It will also be able to be played using the new Wii U GamePad and conventional Wii remotes, with up to five players able to play at once.
There will be both co-op based gameplay and versus, with the latter having a mechanic that can have rivals trying to stop each other's progress by placing game world obstacles in the way.
We'll be getting some hands-on time with New Super Mario Bros U on the E3 show floor shortly, but for now enjoy the official trailer that's just been made available.
What do you think? Disappointed there's no 3D Mario game yet? Or does this tick all of the right buttons? Let us know in the comments below...

you are viewing a single comment's thread.
One of the problems with arguing about who is the greatest driver is the fact that in racing the driver is one of two primary variables that determine whether there is a win or not. The car's performance obviously has just as much to do with it.To remedy this dilemna, I'll propose a new system. The drivers should not be assigned to one team. The drivers should rotate from team to team, taking turns driving for each team. Let's see Massa take a shot at it in a Spyker. I wonder how Sutil would do in the Ferrari? Under this system you could more accurately determine who is the best driver and who builds the best cars.No one needs to tell me about the complications this would cause, it's impracticalability (is that a word?), or the various shortfalls of the plan. It would be interesting.
Impracticality and impracticable were the words I combined to make impracticalability. Whatever.

A new lab to encourage creativity
Creativity is often neglected in academic curricula, mainly because nobody really knows how to teach it. I believe in the "messy play" approach.
I often try to retrace the steps that led to conceiving our scientific experiments and I usually reach the conclusion that it happened when thinking about something else, during periods of intellectual stimulation, often triggered by busy research activity.
As an experimentalist I believe that you need to be making and doing, fiddle in the lab, ask yourself simple questions and link concepts together before you can have that great idea. Creativity escapes traditional frontal teaching (and teacher-centred teaching), instead it requires dirty hands and individual (student-centred) effort.
With this idea in mind Matthew Howard and I have founded the Wheatstone Innovation Lab, a space for students to experiment, research unsupervised and train their creativity. Named after Charles Wheatstone, the legendary scientist working in King's College London (in the same lab!) it is designed to promote disruptive thinking. Think about it as the garage where Steve Job and Steve Wozniak invented the first Mac or the shed where Marie Curie discovered radioactivity.
We have been fortunate to be supported by the faculty of natural and mathematical sciences of King's College London and in particular by Mike and Rosie who strongly believed in this idea, and now we are preparing the first activities: makehatons, researchatons, hackatons!
If you are in King's check it out here!
Ph.D. position in Nanophotonics of Complex Network
Are you interested in studying the nature of light and how it interacts with nanoscopic bits of matter? We have a Ph.D. opening in our group, in the Physics Department in King's College London.
The project combines network theory with nanophotonics, with the goal of studying how single emitters can be controlled and boosted in nanophotonic networks, towards quantum optics at the nanoscale.

Tuning random lasing in photonic glasses
We have just published a new theoretical model including frequency interaction and mode competition in random lasing which allows to predict resonance-driven tuning of random lasing. As it builds on solid previous models, we believe that it could be of practical use to predict the behavior of your random lasing system. If you are interested in the code just contact us.
Tuning random lasing in photonic glasses, Michele Gaio, Matilda Peruzzo and Riccardo Sapienza, Optics Letters 2015.
Tuning random lasing in photonic glasses
We present a detailed numerical investigation of the tunability of a diffusive random laser when Mie resonances are excited. We solve a multimode diffusion model and calculate multiple light scattering in presence of optical gain which includes dispersion in both scattering and gain, without any assumptions about the β parameter. This allows us to investigate a realistic photonic glass made of latex spheres and rhodamine and to quantify both the lasing wavelength tunability range and the lasing threshold. Beyond what is expected by diffusive monochromatic models, the highest threshold is found when the competition between the lasing modes is strongest and not when the lasing wavelength is furthest from the maximum of the gain curve.

The freelance postdoc experiment
We are all well aware of how difficult is to get a permanent position in academia. The employers are very cautious as the tenured position comes with a very strong contractual stability and in some country with immortality (as civil service status). The postdocs work longer and longer hours to face the increasing competition. Academia needs more and more advanced skills that can only be acquired with years of experience but it refrains from rewarding it with a permanent job. An interesting alternative is that of the academic freelancer as proposed by Katie Rose Guest Pryal here, as a mean to alleviate the intense and extenuating life of a postdoc or not-tenured academic.
We have already started such an experiment, as I have hired a recently graduate and unemployed colleague to perform some theoretical calculations that we need for our experiments. The difference with respect to a normal collaboration is that this time I am paying him by the hour and he is performing the work choosing his time and without being based in London, just coming for a meetings to discuss the results. All the other discussions are done by Skype, email and probably soon in Slack.
In this way we can reward skills and actual hours of work, and potentially we can resolve personal issues such as family relocation etc… Would this work also for experimental work? It is hard to tell, but I could imagine having a setup in my house and performing experiments on demand as a freelancer does. Shared facilities similar to maker and hacker space could also make lab space and equipment more accessible.
Sooner or later we will have to invent a new way to develop science, a research 2.0, and it may start by embracing new concept such as remote and freelance work.
Logos for science projects – NQO COST Action
Here some test for the logo of our COST Action on Nanoscale Quantum Optics that will start shortly.
Together with Andrè Xuereb we have produced this first logo. I like that it highlights that nanotechnology deals with the constituent of matter down to the nanoscale. In particular nanophotonics is the science of light (hence the colour) coming from nano-structuring and nano-optics.
Moreover, inspired by the previous logo of the MIT medialab our logo can be made slightly different for each use, as the complex colour pattern can be modified to be unique with a large set of combinations available.
Technically, I have used Cinema4D with the script voxel from robleger.com.
Will post also the next iteration shortly, any comment welcome.
I got various comments, so I have decided to change the style. Here the new versions…

Percolating Plasmonic Networks for Light Emission Control
After a long time we have complete our study of plasmonic networks and how they control the fluorescence decay rate of individual nano-sized emitters. Here below links and abstract.
Link to the paper: Faraday Discussions, 2014, DOI: 10.1039/C4FD00187G
Abstract: Optical nanoantennas have revolutionised the way we manipulate single photons emitted by individual light sources in a nanostructured photonic environment. Complex plasmonic architectures allow for multiscale light control by shortening or stretching the light wavelength for a fixed operating frequency, meeting the size of the emitter and that of propagating modes. Here we study self-assembled semi-continuous gold films and lithographic gold networks characterised by large local density of optical states (LDOS) fluctuations around the electrical percolation threshold, a regime where the surface is characterised by large metal clusters with fractal topology. We study the formation of plasmonic networks and their effect on light emission from embedded fluorescent probes. Through fluorescence dynamics experiments we discuss the role of global long-range interactions linked to the degree of percolation and to the network fractality, as well as the local near-field contribution coming from the local electro-magnetic field and topology. Our experiments indicate that local properties dominate the fluorescence modification.
Slack for science
Is Slack.com the right collaborative tool for science?
I have just start to test its capabilities. My hope is that it will combine many platforms and separated tools into one organic, searchable and multi-platform service.
For scientific research I now use Dropbox for file sharing, Googledocs and Sharelatex for article writing, Papers for article management, Evernote for notes and Wonderlist for tasks, plus the usual various chats, Twitter and Skype for remote discussions. Still I keep wasting time searching for files and bits of discussion lost here and there.
Slack holds great potential as it merges all communication tools in a single clean workspace, hosted on the clouds, linked to all the other services (e.g. dropbox, Github or Googledoc) with excellent notification (which could still be improved). I especially like the ease of use mobile, browser and standalone app, and the file management with good searching tools. Code can also be inserted with syntax highlighting by simply hitting ⌘ + ⏎.
All these features are very promising but will it survive the everyday use of our research team?
A glance into crystallisation
Macroscopic systems such as hard micrometer beads can undergo crystallisation in a way similar to atoms in our conventional crystals. The larger size means that we can observe the crystallisation process under the microscope, and be mesmerised by it:
As a technical note, after some time you can see how the crystal self-heal its defects as the hexagonal packing is the least energy configuration. The video is in real time (1 frame/5 sec) and the apparent jump is due to the structure changing not to video editing.

You took a 1080p video, and wanted to demonstrate to us by uploading it in 720p? lol upload it in 1080p!!
How to play or see or download 1080p video in iPad ?? Me using ipad 3rd genertn
I am doing 1080p rip in MP4 in 2-pass. Love the result!
1080p video recording with hdmi output. Micro sd card slot. 128gigabyte capacity.
1080p content will become low def on the new screen. Where's that 1600p?
It's even better on the iPad.
MKV 1080p videos convert so beautifully.
4g lte
Quad core
Broken heart mender wouldn't b bad either.
Most 1080p monitor are retina displays because most people view them from 2+ ft away.
Avid is afaik not able to produce Full-HD (1080p).
iMovie is.
Do any of you know the date of that real racer will go 1080p.
Movies must be 720p- 1080p will not play on the iPad. Check your camera setting.
So,can I playback 1080p movies on apple tv via airplay?
Apple tv is only 720p? Wow. Get a ps3 or the Sony thing and rock out with 1080p!
Yeah, the new iPad(3rd gen) support 1080p in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov, so there is no problem to put the 1080p .mov on the new iPad and no need to crop~
I have encoded several 1080p bluray movies into 720p MP4s. There is nothing wrong with video quality. Its sharp, and looks pretty much just as...
Perhaps wait for a release of Real Racing 2 HD that supports 1080p out?
The current version available in the AppStore is 1.02 and has been...
...iPad 2 only plays up to 720p videos on it's own, if I were to put a 1080p video on it and use a VGA adaptor to output it to a 1080p television,...
some peoples eyes see driffrent stuff then others. like some people tell tell between 720 and 1080p
I wondered if there is an app there that can support both 1080p and .mkv video files?
I have VLC, it plays .mkv but not good with 1080p.
the iPad 2 could output 1080p over HDMI. I can't imagine the new one can't do that.

I am sure Elrond is half-elven, so Arwen is too. I recall something saying Argorn was half-elven as well. Shouldn't half-elves not have to become mortal to marry each other?
Saying that someone is "half-elf" is a way of saying that they have an elven parent and a mortal one. Elrond fits into this category (his mother, Elwing, was an elf; his father Earendil was a human). But one is not thereby "half-human, half-elf" - one has to choose between being an elf and being a human:
Thus, at the time of the War of the Ring, Elrond is quite definitely an elf. Arwen gets that same choice.
But Aragorn is quite definitely a human; he's a descendant of Elros. Thus, he is going to die; and Arwen makes the choice to die as well, that is, to be under the Doom of Men, in order to be with him. It is only at the very end of her life that she sees what's involved with this and regrets it:
She doesn't seem to ever reconcile herself to it.
I doubt she had to; rather she decided to.
There's precedent for a full-blooded (immortal) Elf marrying a mortal, where the Elf retains (or seems to retain) their immortality:
There doesn't appear to be any requirement that an immortal must become mortal in order to marry a mortal; in fact, they can't. Lúthien is the only full-blooded Elf who did this, and she had to die and be reborn. Only half-Elves of the line of Eärendil were given the mortal choice.
Having said that, by all accounts Arwen decided to give up immortality; bear in mind the words she uses when professing her love to Aragorn:
And what Tolkien writes in Letter 153:
Notably, he frames her choice in terms of Lúthien, not in terms of mortality/immortality. I'll get to why I think this is important in a moment.
The question then becomes: why did she make the choice?
Tolkien's remark above gives one clue; "the choice of Lúthien" is described thus in The Silmarillion:
If we take the Professor at his word, then one of Arwen's motives is revealed: she's so in love that she would rather die than spend the rest of eternity without him.
As well, though there's no evidence she was thinking along these lines, I've commented before that the nature of the Eldar is such that there are practical benefits to not marrying beneath your mortality:
But that's perhaps reaching for explanations; I tend to agree with Matt Gutting that she wasn't thinking that far ahead.
1 There's actually in-universe speculation that Tuor was granted immortality, though personally I find it doubtful; I'm particularly intrigued by Tolkien's statement in Letter 153 that "'it is supposed' (not stated) that he as an unique exception receives the Elvish limited 'immortality'"
As half Elves, Elrond and his brother Elros had to choose between being mortal men or being immortal Elves. Elros became a man, Elrond became an Elf.
So it isn't that loving Aragorn itself requires Arwen to become a mortal; staying in Middle-earth after Elrond departs will make her become a mortal.
As for Aragorn being a half-Elf, he isn't. See the answer to this question to see just how little Elven blood ran through Aragorn's veins. He was something like 0.00000000000000000677% Elf.
