Huge Britney fan but this is definitely her worst album. Where did the passion go? Maybe it doesn't help that she lipsyncs all the time. They're killing her talent. I doubt she contributes to the song writing.

The radiation hardness for fast neutrons, high energy protons and 60Co gamma rays of planar detectors processed from highly oxygenated silicon detectors obtained by using high temperature (1200°C), long time (> 200 hours) oxidation technology, are compared with standard silicon detectors. For fast neutron irradiation it is found that there is no advantage of using highly oxygenated silicon FZ detectors as compared to the standard ones in terms of full depletion voltage degradation as measured a few days after radiation. For a gamma ray dose of 250 Mrad, the standard detectors of all resistivities (1 kΩcm to 5.6 kΩcm) invert the space charge sign, while there is little change in space charge density for oxygenated ones. For proton irradiation, the rate in full depletion voltage increase (β) is 2.3 times less than that fur neutron irradiation. The difference in radiation hardness is explained in terms of effect of radiation induced disorder regions (clusters of vacancies) on the introduction rates of divacancies in the oxygenated silicon

I bought a new HE Washer & when I was doing research on HE detergents, I decided to go the natural way. I am very sensitive to detergent anyway & I knew they contained harmful ingredients, but I did not know the extent of it! The information I uncovered was nothing short of alarming. I plan on making my own laundry soap, but I needed to get started with something in the meantime. Charlies Soap seemed to fit the bill for me. I read alot of information online & decided to give it a try. The stuff is GREAT! I have absolutely nothing bad to say about it at all. Also, I have been a faithful user of Downey for many years. I loved the original april fresh pink top formula, but the past few years, it has gradually changed & now it doesn't even seem to be the same product. Well, my problem has been solved with this washing powder... YES, it is true! Although I miss the scent of the old downey, that lingered for days & days, I am happy to have found this great product that eliminates the need for it! The laundry comes out feeling soft & the towels are becoming absorbent once again. I haven't noticed any static cling either.I now have the ingredients to make my own soap & I will give it a try. But if it comes up short to Charlies, I will remain a loyal customer. Thank you Charlie, for making this great product & thank you drugstore.com for your excellent service!

Comments about Charlie's Soap Laundry Powder, 100 Loads, 2.64 lb:
Charlie's soap gets the clothes clean without chemicals. They don't smell like perfume that interferes with your own fragrance of the day. After using Charlie's soap, with NO softener, clothes can be taken out of the dryer virtually static-free.

Be Careful deceptive advertising
By Patricia
from Florida
describe yourself Homeowner
See all my reviews
I ordered this product for the first time because drugstore.com advertised a free Pur D'or sample bag of freebies with a $40 of natural products purchase. I ordered on May 5th and didn't receive my order until May 17th. The Charlie soap was not in the plastic container with scoop as advertised. It came in a cheap ziplock bag with no scoop. I don't even feel like using it now since I was misled and lied to about the packaging. Also, I didn't receive the Pur D'or sample bag either. It is listed on my receipt but they claim whoops they ran out after I ordered $40 worth of the required products to receive it. Several other items were missing from my order also. The customer service was a nightmare. So, I can't speak for this soap as I haven't used it yet. But I was deceived about the plastic container and scoop so I don't trust the product now.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I like the fact that there are no fillers or perfumes; great for sensitive skin. However, I don't think it cleans as well as it claims. For really dirty clothes, I need to soak in a concentrated solution.

Outstanding product, highly recommend
By emell
from Kapaa, HI
After comparing multiple environmentally friendly laundry soap options, I was very happy to find Charlie's Laundry Powder. It is incredibly economical, so I was quite skeptical as to how effective it would be. It surpassed my expectations, and is my go-to product for my home and for vacation rentals that we manage.

We are a family of two and a container of this has lasted a year. It is extremely easy to use and it works great !!
Awesome product!
By locavore
from NH
I've used this detergent for years and have been very pleased with the results. It is perfect for my very sensitive skin, does not use synthetic fragrances (it is unscented), and cleans well in all temperatures. It is also great in high efficiency washers. It does not remove stubborn stains without a pre-soak or stain treatment, but I can accept that. The large size is very economical and eco-friendly.
Washes clean, no preservatives, no hives
By Itch-Meiser
from Honolulu, Hawaii
Very happy with this laundry soap. After All Free & Clear reformulated recently, I had full-body hives. No more! Thanks, Charlie.
Please follow all care instructions on your garments. Run a large/heavy load with two (2) doses of Charlie's Soap Laundry Powder and a few old rags to clear your washing machine of any residue left by other garments. It may take 3-5 washes before those old residues are fully removed and you notice the long lasting benefits of Charlie's Soap for Laundry - low suds, softer clothes, clean scent, etc. When in doubt, re wash. For an ida of what your laundry will eventually look like, wash a load of bath towels 3 consecutive times. If you have hard water, consider adding Charlie's Soap Booster to your wash.

Algorithm 710: FORTRAN subroutines for computing the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a general matrix by reduction to general tridiagonal form
Tridiagonal matrix
In linear algebra, a tridiagonal matrix is a matrix that has nonzero elements only in the main diagonal, the first diagonal below this, and the first diagonal above the main diagonal. For example, the following matrix is tridiagonal: The determinant of a tridiagonal matrix is given by a continuant of its elements. Determining an orthogonal transformation to tridiagonal form can be done with the Lanczos algorithm.

Fortran (previously FORTRAN) is a general-purpose, procedural, imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing.

Reduction (mathematics)
In mathematics, reduction refers to the rewriting of an expression into a simpler form. For example, the process of rewriting a fraction into one with the smallest whole-number denominator possible (while keeping the numerator an integer) is called "reducing a fraction". Rewriting a radical (or "root") expression with the smallest possible whole number under the radical symbol is called "reducing a radical".
more from Wikipedia
Eigenvalues and eigenvectors
The eigenvectors of a square matrix are the non-zero vectors that, after being multiplied by the matrix, remain parallel to the original vector. For each eigenvector, the corresponding eigenvalue is the factor by which the eigenvector is scaled when multiplied by the matrix. The prefix eigen- is adopted from the German word "eigen" for "self" in the sense of a characteristic description. The eigenvectors are sometimes also called characteristic vectors.
more from Wikipedia
In computer science, a subroutine, also termed procedure, function, routine, method, or subprogram, is a part of source code within a larger computer program that performs a specific task and is relatively independent of the remaining code. As the name subprogram suggests, a subroutine behaves in much the same way as a computer program that is used as one step in a larger program or another subprogram.

Matrix (mathematics)
In mathematics, a matrix (plural matrices, or less commonly matrixes) is a rectangular array of numbers, symbols, or expressions. The individual items in a matrix are called its elements or entries. An example of a matrix with six elements is Matrices of the same size can be added or subtracted element by element. The rule for matrix multiplication is more complicated, and two matrices can be multiplied only when the number of columns in the first equals the number of rows in the second.

Definition: This entry gives a figure for the average number of children that would be born per woman if all women lived to the end of their childbearing years and bore children according to a given fertility rate at each age. The total fertility rate (TFR) is a more direct measure of the level of fertility than the crude birth rate, since it refers to births per woman. This indicator shows the potential for population change in the country. A rate of two children per woman is considered the replacement rate for a population, resulting in relative stability in terms of total numbers. Rates above two children indicate populations growing in size and whose median age is declining. Higher rates may also indicate difficulties for families, in some situations, to feed and educate their children and for women to enter the labor force. Rates below two children indicate populations decreasing in size and growing older. Global fertility rates are in general decline and this trend is most pronounced in industrialized countries, especially Western Europe, where populations are projected to decline dramatically over the next 50 years.

I've stayed at several Holiday Inn Expresses (Expressi?) and have learned what to expect from them; a comfortable room, free breakfast, and not a whole lot of flash. The "lack of flash" shouldn't be taken as an insult - I'd rather see a hotel spend money to update their rooms or keep their employees happy than to have bells and whistles in the lobby.
We got this room through Priceline at a very good rate, but in order to get a room with two beds we checked in as soon as we got into the area. The front desk clerk told me I was booked for a room with just one bed, but that she would get us switched to a room with two. I got our keys and left without going to the room.
That was my mistake. When we got back that evening, we went up to our room to find - one bed. I rolled my eyes and went down to the front desk to see what happened to our room, hoping that we'd be able to get a room with two beds (the whole reason for checking in as early as we did). They were able to (on a different floor, much to my son't dismay), so outside of that little hiccup, we were fine.
Room was fine otherwise. Breakfast was good - a typical HIE breakfast spread. The boys were fascinated with the "pancake machine", though the pancakes that came out of it were overcooked and not very good.
All in all, a good stay. Nothing to rave about, but nothing to really complain about either. Location would probably give this place a 3.5 overall rating, just because it's right in the center of the city and close to everything.

Broadwater develops FRP covers for radiotherapy machine
Broadwater Mouldings Ltd has developed a range of fiber reinforced plastic parts for a radiotherapy systems designed to improve targeting of tumour tissue.
Human care company Elektra asked Broadwater to mold the parts needed for the world's first high-field high energy magnetic resonance image guided linear accelerator (MR-linac) platform.
The MR-linac is designed to improve targeting of tumour tissue while reducing exposure of normal tissue to radiation beams. It will allow physicians to precisely locate a tumour, as well as lock onto it during delivery, even when tumour tissue is moving during treatment or changes shape, location or size between treatment sessions.
'Broadwater Mouldings is proud to be associated with the new MR-linac platform and will continue to work with Elekta, to ensure the pioneering research enhances the field of cancer care,' said Carl Reddington, project engineering manager for Broadwater Mouldings. 'In early 2014 Broadwater produced 'safety covers' for the machine testing of the MR-Linac. Since then we have been involved in the design and development of covers which can be supplied directly to a hospital or clinic. Broadwater have helped Elekta design a covers set which can be manufactured cost effectively providing a variety of semi-gloss and high gloss components.'

* Nikkei down 0.2 pct, Topix up 0.4 pct * Equities' 12-mth fwd P/E falls to level last seen in early April By Dominic Lau TOKYO, July 1 Japan's Nikkei average seesawed on Monday morning after posting its biggest one-day rise in three weeks in the previous session, although long-only investors were picking up banking shares. The Nikkei slipped 0.2 percent after trading as low as 13,624.90 and as high as 13,746.72. The index jumped 3.5 percent to a three-week high of 13,677.32 on Friday. "Volume overall is on the light side. There is not a whole lot of trend of what we are buying recently. But it does seem like there is a bit of banking buying today," a senior trader at a foreign bank said, adding that his bank's buy orders outpaced sell orders. "Better activity from long-only investors, more so than hedge funds. "Maybe it's because Hong Kong is off that were are seeing less volume from (hedge funds) today" Lender Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, up 2.3 percent, was the most traded stock on the main board by turnover, followed by rival Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group , up 2.6 percent. The senior trader said investors remained cautious on China, Japan's second-largest export market, ahead of the final reading of the June Purchasing Managers' Index, due out at 0145 GMT. Some currency-sensitive exporters were supported by a weaker yen. The Japanese currency was last traded at 99.35 yen to the dollar, down from Friday's high of 98.370, as investors resumed pricing in the possibility of the U.S. Federal Reserve beginning to scale back its bond-buying programme as soon as its September policy meeting. Among the exporters on the rise were Daikin Industries , Toyota Motor Corp, Mazda Motor Corp and Sony Corp, up between 0.5 and 3.4 percent. Japanese manufacturers' sentiment turned positive in the three months to June for the first time in nearly two years, the Bank of Japan's quarterly Tankan survey showed, a sign the recent market turbulence has yet to hurt the feel-good mood created by the government's reflationary policies. The broader Topix index gained 0.4 percent to 1,138.18, with volume at 19 percent of its full daily average for the past 90 trading days. On the losing ledger, wireless operators SoftBank Corp and KDDI Corp slipped 0.9 and 1.2 percent, respectively. The Nikkei rallied more than 80 percent to a 5-1/2 year peak on May 23 since November, when prime minister Shinzo Abe's election campaign promised bold fiscal and monetary expansionary policies to revive the world's third-largest economy, dubbed "Abenomics." But since then, the benchmark has lost 14 percent on concerns over the Fed paring its stimulus, slowing growth in China, and disappointment over Abe's growth strategies. Japanese equities' 12-month forward price-to-earnings ratio fell to 13.3 - a level not seen since early April - from a three-year high of 16.3 reached four weeks ago according to Thomson Reuters Datastream. The Nikkei is still up more than 10 percent since the BOJ announced radical monetary stimulus on April 4 and has risen 31 percent this year.

ôFlowers in the Attic,ö by V.C. Andrews. Pocket Books.
Ask any V.C. Andrews fan about the 1987 film adaptation of ôFlowers in the Atticö and sheĺll probably tell you that itĺs all wrong. The film soft-pedaled the novelĺs incest, altered the ending, and screwed up most of the details (it was arsenic-laced doughnuts, not sugar cookies). They didnĺt even include the tar incident.
What a relief that the upcoming Lifetime TV movie adaptation promises to be faithful to all the dark and sordid details of the novel. After all, many of us have been waiting three decades to climb up the stairs to the attic with Cathy again.
ôFlowers in the Attic,ö a novel about four children who are locked up and mistreated in their rich grandparentsĺ mansion while their conniving mother tries to win an inheritance, was published as adult fiction in 1979, and it was as adult fiction that it hit the New York Times best-seller list within weeks, despite the fact that nobody had ever heard of V.C. Andrews. But reading ôFlowers in the Atticö quickly became a rite of passage for teenage girls in the 1980s. Copies of the book and its sequels were passed from girl to girl, as if we could peer through the novelsĺ foil-embossed keyhole covers to the powerful secrets within. For many of us, ôFlowers in the Atticö was the start of a love affair with V.C. Andrews that lasted throughout our teens, until it was replaced, somewhere around our first college lit class, by a sense of mild embarrassment. Oh, it was a phase, we told ourselves.
And yet, as all the buzz about the Lifetime adaptation reveals, we are clearly not over ôFlowers in the Attic.ö For women of my generation, Cathy Dollangangerĺs story continues to possess a weird, singular power. Itĺs also an elusive one, and most of us have a difficult time articulating why Cathyĺs story embedded itself into our imaginations, and why weĺre so excited to revisit it now.
So why was ôFlowers in the Atticö so uniquely appealing to its first teenage readers? The novel is narrated by Cathy Dollanganger, who is imprisoned with her siblings at the age of 12 and finally escapes at the age of 15. Itĺs a harrowing tale of abuse and neglect that includes beatings, starvation and poisoning. Itĺs also, notoriously, the story of an incestuous love affair between Cathy and her older brother that culminates in sexual assault. Sure, those shockingly novel themes attracted readers, but the emotional payoff for teens was much deeper than the thrill of reading something taboo. In large part, ôFlowers in the Atticö drew its power because it gave voice to a visceral, adolescent feeling of being held hostage by your own family.
Cathy is restricted by her mother, disapproved of by her mother and ultimately abandoned by her mother. Any teenage girl could relate; even if we didnĺt share the abuses she suffered, we felt all of her adolescent feelings of victimization, hopelessness and resentment Ś especially at our own mothers. Cathyĺs experience vindicated our own feelings of how unfair our treatment was by our families, and the litany of horrors she suffers fueled a powerful sense of righteous anger.
ôFlowers in the Atticö contained the emotional stuff of adolescence that was missing from the YA novels that proliferated in the 1970s and Ĺ80s. Even Judy Blume, queen of important YA topics, wouldnĺt get close to this dark, messy territory. Like Blumeĺs ôForever . . .ö Ś the other novel girls passed around in the 1980s, due to its semi-titillating-and-very-informative content about safe sex Ś the books we were supposed to be reading to help us cope with our various adolescent challenges delivered many reassurances that things would eventually be OK. By contrast, ôFlowers in the Atticö indulged our fear that things were so deeply screwed up that they might never be OK. Near the end of ôFlowers in the Attic,ö Cathy even comments on how inadequate media is for addressing her emotional life:
Chris and I had educated ourselves from reading so many books, and television had taught us much about violence, about greed, about imagination, but it had taught us hardly anything that was practical and useful in preparing us to face reality.
Survival. Thatĺs what TV should teach innocent children. How to live in a world that really doesnĺt give a damn about anyone but their own Ś and sometimes, not even their own.
The novel addressed the disconnect between feelings that were hard for us to acknowledge and fiction that we were supposed to like. Despite its excesses, it conveyed a sadness about being robbed of normalcy that felt authentic to teens who were experiencing varying degrees of their own family dysfunction. In that way, ôFlowers in the Atticö was a uniquely comforting story.
But V.C. Andrewsĺ ability to give voice to the chaotic anger of our teen lives isnĺt the only reason why ôFlowers in the Atticö resonates with us still. The novel and its sequels also recognized an abiding fear that has shaped women of my generation: the fear of turning into our mothers. As Cathyĺs love and adoration of her mother, Corrine, turns into bitterness and anger in ôFlowers in the Attic,ö she becomes determined to get free of her family and be nothing like her mother. Yet through the decades that span the novels that follow, Cathy finds herself becoming more and more like Corrine. ôPetals on the Windö (1980) is driven by Cathyĺs desire for revenge, which compels her to look and behave like Corrine in order to seduce her husband. By the end of that novel, Cathy has also begun to duplicate her motherĺs choices: She begins an incestuous family with her brother, lies to her children about his identity, and finds herself installing childrenĺs beds in her own attic. The final words of ôPetals on the Windö are Cathyĺs ominous monologue: ôBut . . . I am not like her! I may look like her, but inside I am honorable! I am stronger, more determined. The best in me will win out in the end. I know it will. It has to sometimes . . . doesnĺt it?ö
Revisiting ôFlowers in the Atticö is a bit like reading it alongside your teen self. You can replay all the emotions you had when you first read it, but you canĺt really feel them anymore. Itĺs not nostalgia that draws us back to Flowers in the Attic and the Dollanganger novels. And itĺs not because theyĺre fun, either. (The novels are neither as good as you thought they were, nor as a bad as youĺd like to remember them.) Instead, itĺs because V.C. Andrews continues to give voice to feelings that are hard for us to acknowledge. Like Cathy, we got out of our motherĺs attics Ś but we never quite escaped them.

Secure enterprise Dropbox-like service deployed across Claranet VDC in Germany
Frankfurt/Hamburg, Germany, November 7th, 2012 - Enterprise cloud synchronization provider, TeamDrive, and managed services provider, Claranet, today announced TeamDrive has been selected as the first, secure, file sharing and collaboration software application for the Claranet Virtual Datacentre (VDC). TeamDrive Systems, a key Claranet partner, ensures secure and scalable file sharing and collaboration to enterprise customers in the protected Claranet datacenter. TeamDrive delivers a simple, secure file sharing and storage service that works the way users work - from anywhere on any device - to meet user requirements without sacrificing IT control.
TeamDrive's co-founder and CEO, Volker Oboda said, "TeamDrive collaboration software and the Claranet VDC combined provide a powerful, scalable, secure and future-oriented communication solution."
Every user can convert the contents of a folder on his PC, notebook, smartphone (iOS / Android) or tablet into a secure shared space with just three mouse clicks. Users are able to continue working as usual at their computers without investing in training. People can use this shared space with any number of personally "invited" users. OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, pdf, photographs, videos and all other file formats can be instantly and securely exchanged. Automatic versioning, backup and file synchronization enhance all aspects of productivity. TeamDrive does its work almost imperceptibly in the background.
Olaf Fischer, managing director at Claranet adds, "Users maintain complete control over their documents with TeamDrive's built-in encryption technology in Claranet's certified enterprise-class cloud service VDC, where security standards are very high, despite its ease of operation and flexibility."

Indeed, it is somewhat safe to assume that in IT any transformative effort is likely to also have a modernizing effect, and thus, we can see these as levels of improvement efforts. However, many businesses are being led to believe if they don't transform now they risk becoming ...

I think they should try to get this deal done, but at the same time they should not mortgage the future but trading promising, young center Andrew Bynum. Bynum will carry the torch for the Lakers long after Kobe has retired; albeit, the Lakers do need some kind of shakeup or else this season could be lost.

But its a no deal without Lamar or Bynum. I hope the Lakers dont deal away their future franchise in Bynum. Lamar maybe, but not Bynum. I hope the Nets still trade away Kidd for Brown, Mihm, Mckie and Williams.
