15 June, 2009 - THE GOOD THINGS IN LIFE NEVER CHANGE
15 June, 2009
-- London, UK, June 15th, 2009: ManageMyHosting, the website hosting division of the larger ManageMyServices Group are celebrating a new, exciting and significant milestone for their business. BASICHOST.net , the budget hosting operation, has now provided low cost web hosting for over five years. What sets this milestone apart is that their trademarked budget hosting package has remained just $9.95 per year since its inception, nearly five years ago. Such stability shows that ManageMyServices has taken total care of their customers and their longevity implies the total quality they provide by giving customers total control over their accounts.
In an uncertain economy luxuries tend to be removed from the family budget. However, at less than 3 cents per day this discounted hosting package is likely to be as valuable as it ever was. The package provides users with a contract free 200 megabytes of website space, an easy to use DirectAdmin hosting panel, 5 gigabytes of bandwidth and the ability to host one domain. In simple terms that is enough for a single user to run a blog with regular updates while sharing photos with his family and sending regular e-mails.
It is not just about the price says budget hosting guru and founder Nick Laws, it is the fact that in those five years of service, we have not only provided cheap and affordable website hosting, but the service has been stable the whole time. He goes on to say that in this economy, and at this time, people are not just price conscious but they are security conscious. The fact that we have provided stable web hosting for five years, at such low prices, is quite an achievement.
ManageMyHosting is the premium hosting division of the ManageMyServices group. For monthly and yearly fees, with no contract, small businesses are able to have an easy to use hosting account. BASICHOST.net is the division aimed at individuals who wish to put simple projects online at a low cost. BASICHOST.net offers low cost annual hosting packages with generous space and bandwidth with quality support.
Established since 2005, the ManageMyServices group is the parent organisation for ManageMyHosting. Besides individual website hosting through BASICHOST.net, premium personal and business hosting solutions through ManageMyHosting.com the company also offers dedicated servers and backup storage services to prevent data loss as well as domain names, SSL certificates and more through ManageMyName.com

1 May, 2009 - WHT? DATA LOSS? MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE LET THEM MANAGEMYBOX!
1 May, 2009
-- London, UK, May 1st, 2009: ManageMyBox, a dedicated server lease provider and a division of the larger ManageMyServices Group have recently launched their new Offsite Backup service. For as low as fifty cents per gigabyte this service allows website owners to keep a carbon copy of their important data. With the recent and crippling effects of data loss at Web Hosting Talk and the growing value placed on data such a product will allow online operators to take total care, provide their users with total quality and thus take total control of their companies.
The backup storage, made available to ManageMyBox customers immediately, is located off site for added security and keeping with their total quality promise most server management customers will be eligible for free backup. Offsite backup adds an additional layer of protection from physical and malicious online attacks. The goal is to ensure that no customers suffer through the devastating financial effects of data loss. The recent attack on Web Hosting Talk is estimated to have lost up to six months worth of data, something many smaller businesses would be unable to bounce back from.
According to ManageMyBox founder Nick Laws the time just felt right. Most of our customers earn their living from their data. We sat down and asked ourselves, how can we protect that?. He goes further to state that ManageMyServices has seen exponential growth each year. We are always asking if there are any services we can provide to add value for our customers while keeping the quality of our brand. This was a clear winner.
ManageMyBox offers dedicated server leases and has been in operation for over four years. Besides reasonable prices the company prides itself on offering value added products such as skilled technicians and remote backup. The remote backup service is available to all ManageMyBox customers for as low as fifty cents per gigabyte with no setup fee.
Established since 2005, the ManageMyServices group is the parent organisation for ManageMyBox. Besides dedicated servers and backup storage services to prevent data loss the company also offers small, individual website hosting through BASICHOST.net, premium personal and business hosting solutions through ManageMyHosting.com as well as domain names, SSL certificates and more through ManageMyName.com

It seems mailman, by default, spoofs its outgoing message with the "from" address of the person who posted the message. The envelope mail-from is not spoofed, but rather the P2 FROM. Is this configurable to d a send-on-behalf or simply change to some other static address?
A bit old question, but here some suggestion solution.
I will try to explain how the default mailman behavior.
Email from email@example.com was sent to firstname.lastname@example.com (a mailman list). Both envelope sender and firstname.lastname@example.com have value "firstname.lastname@example.com".
As mailman receive it, it rewrites envelope sender to email@example.com. Now mailman forward it to other members with envelope sender: firstname.lastname@example.com and From header: firstname.lastname@example.com.
The problem is, as April 2014 the Big Email Provider Yahoo activates DMARC in their domains. As the result, if DMARC-aware mail server spot the Yahoo address in From header but it wasn't sent from Yahoo server, the server will reject it.
Mailman developer adding fix in Mailman version 2.1.16. It now has option from_is_list

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to radial arm saws, and more particularly to a safety top for use in safe operation of radial arm saws while providing improved dust collection.
2. Description of Related Art
Radial arm saws are routinely found in wood working environments for use in various wood cutting applications. Over the past several years, the use of the radial arm saw has expanded significantly due largely to versatility and simplicity of use. Today, radial arm saws are in use in wood working shops, garages, even retail outlets, such as hardware and home improvement stores.
A typical radial arm saw includes a work table having a horizontal flat top work surface with a vertically projecting backstop, commonly referred to as a fence. The material to be cut, such as a piece of wood, is supported on the work surface and against the fence. At the rear of the work table a vertical column extends upwardly. Extending horizontally from the top of the column is a radial arm, which is capable of rotation about the column, but which is generally positioned over the top of the table. A rotary power saw is suspended below the radial arm by a carriage adapted for travel along the length of the radial arm. In most operations the saw is positioned over the work table and is moved along the radial arm to cut a workpiece positioned on the work surface.
While the radial arm saw is an efficient and proven power tool, there remain a number of problems and shortcomings associated with the operation thereof that heretofore have not been adequately solved or addressed. One such problem associated with the radial saw operation relates to the substantial amount of sawdust created and dispersed when cutting. The sawdust generated by a radial arm saw ranges from very fine dust particles to larger wood chips. While this problem has been widely recognized for many years, radial arm saw manufacturers have failed to develop an effective dust collection system for use with these saws. One common, yet ineffective, solution has been to provide the saw blade with a protective guard or hood adapted with a suction port connected to a vacuum-generating dust collection system by a hose. That attempt, however, has proven unsatisfactory and generally ineffective.
As a result of the persistent problems associated with saw dust, the background art reveals a number of attempts directed to dust collection systems for use with radial arm saws. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 2,839,102, issued to Kido, discloses a dust collecting attachment that mounts behind the guide fence of a radial arm saw. The attachment defines slotted openings aligned with kerfs in the guide fence, and is attached to a suction-generating dust collector apparatus. U.S. Pat. No. 3,322,169, issued to Hilliard, discloses a dust collector for a radial arm saw including a rectangular shroud having an inlet and a tapered tube extending rearwardly therefrom for connection to a vacuum hose. U.S. Pat. No. 3,401,724, issued to Kreitz, discloses a dust collector for a radial arm saw comprising generally funnel-shaped hood positioned at the rear of the work table. The wide hood inlet opens toward the front of the work table and a narrow outlet is connected to a dust collector apparatus. U.S. Pat. No. 4,144,781, issued to Kreitz, discloses a dust collector for a radial arm saw including a generally funnel-shaped flat-bottomed shroud connected to a vacuum hose. The top and bottom of the shroud are contoured so that the shroud partially surrounds the column which supports the radial arm saw. U.S. Pat. No. 4,742,743, issued to Scarpone, discloses a radial arm saw accessory comprising a grid structure formed in the table surface in proximity to the fence to permit passage of sawdust therethrough.
It appears, however, that the above-referenced advances in the art of radial arm saw dust collection have not been successful in substantially containing and collecting sawdust generated by the radial arm saw. Accordingly, those devices have not gained widespread acceptance. Thus, there exists a need for improvements in radial arm saw design. More particularly, there exists a need for an improved dust collection system for use with radial arm saws.
Another serious problem present with the widespread use of radial arm saws relates to operator safety. More particularly, during normal use the rotating saw blade often comes in close proximity to the operators hands and fingers. As a result, numerous individuals have been seriously injured by inadvertent contact with the rotating saw blade while operating the radial arm saw. The problem is complicated since operation of the saw requires the user to move the saw/blade across the work surface while cutting thereby increasing the risk of injury. The risk of injury increases when the saw is used by inexperienced operators in garage shops or employees in retail locations. Despite the serious risk of injury inherent with conventional radial arm saw designs, manufacturers have failed to provide adequate measures intended to prevent injury.
The background art reveals a number of attempts directed to protecting operators from injury while operating radial arm saws. These attempts include blade guards intended to prevent the operator's hand from contacting the rotating blade. Blade guards, however, have proven ineffective. Other attempts include providing work piece guides and push devices designed to assist the operator in positioning the work piece. U.S. Pat. No. 5,678,467, issued to Aigner, discloses a handle adapted for holding or pushing wood during the sawing process. The Aigner device, and others in the art, provide handle-like structures that engage the wooden workpiece such that the user's hand is positioned away from the cutting plane. The prior art further reveals a number of work piece guides, primarily for use with table saws. Representative disclosures of such devices are found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,026,173 (Livick), U.S. Pat. No. 4,469,318 (Slavic), and U.S. Pat. No. 4,485,711 (Schnell). These devices, however, are adapted for pushing and guiding the workpiece though the cutting area, and are generally not suitable for use with a radial arm saw wherein the saw blade is moved through the workpiece. Accordingly, there exists a need for improvements directed to radial arm saws directed to protecting operators from injury by securing the workpiece.
The present invention overcomes the disadvantages and shortcomings in the art by adapting a radial arm saw with a safety top configured with a cutting box enclosure for containing and collecting substantially all of the sawdust generated when in use. The safety top further includes spring biased push blocks that function to hold the work piece in place during the sawing process while maintaining the user's hands safely away from the saw blade. In accordance with the present invention, a radial arm saw is adapted with a safety top providing an improved work surface, a fully integrated structure that contains and captures substantially all of the sawdust and particles generated by the saw, and integrated push blocks that are mechanically biased to secure the workpiece in engagement with the fence.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved safety top for use with radial arm saws.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved dust collection system for use with radial arm saws.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide advancements in control systems for radial arm saws.
In accordance with these and other objects, which will become apparent hereinafter, the instant invention will now be described with particular reference to the accompanying drawings.
Safety top 100 includes a generally planar work surface 102 and a backstop or rip fence 104 (hereinafter "fence") vertically projecting therefrom. Work surface 102 defines a pair of slotted apertures 106 that function as guide slots for push handles 108. Each push handle 108 includes a base 108A, a vertical end wall 108B for engaging a workpiece, and a cutout portion 108C to facilitate grasping thereof by the user. Base 108A includes a downwardly projecting tongue sized for slidable inserted engagement with slotted aperture 106.
Each push handle 108 is mechanically biased toward fence 104 by a spring loaded biasing mechanism preferably disposed on the bottom surface of work surface 102.
Safety top 100 further includes dust collecting cutting box 130 mounted on and projecting above work surface 102. Cutting box 130 is preferably mounted in alignment with power saw 40, and particularly saw blade 42 for reasons more fully discussed hereinbelow. Cutting box 130 is bounded by a floor formed by the work surface 102, and further includes a top 132, opposing sides 134, and front and rear walls 136. Top 132 defines a plurality of slotted apertures ("slots"), including a saw blade slot 137 aligned with saw blade 42, and left and right slotted apertures 138 disposed on opposing sides of blade slot 137 and in parallel relation therewith. Saw blade slot 137 allows saw blade 42 to pass below cutting box top 132 during the sawing process. Left and right slotted apertures 138 function to provide the user with a line of sight through cutting box top 132 to the cutting area disposed below. Cutting box sides 134 include portions thereof formed by brush bristles 135 connected to and projecting downwardly from top 132, extending forward from fence 104. Brush bristles 135 allow a work piece to be inserted into cutting box 130 and automatically form a seal to contain saw dust within cutting box 130. The present invention further contemplates providing the saw portion with a specially adapted semi-circular shroud 150 in partial covering relation with the saw blade. Shroud 150 defines a bottom opening having a generally rectangular cross-section, which opening includes brush bristles 152 attached to the peripheral edge thereof. Shroud bristles 152 project downwardly from shroud 150 and are in sweeping contact with the cutting box top 132 thereby forming a dust seal between shroud 150 and top 132 as the saw moves back and forth while cutting the work piece.
Cutting box 130 thus defines an internal chamber wherein the rotating saw blade meets the work piece during the cutting process and functions to contain the sawdust and wood chips generated as the blade cuts through the wood. Accordingly, cutting box 130 is further adapted for connection to an external dust collection system. More particularly, cutting box 130 is adapted with first and second dust collection outlet ports, referenced as 160 and 162 respectively. Each outlet port provides a connection point for attachment of a hose from a vacuum generating external dust collection system. Since vacuum type dust collection systems are well known, those systems shall not be further detailed. Outlet port 160 is preferably located rearward along cutting box side 134 and thus places the interior of cutting box 130 in fluid communication with the external dust collection system.

As further illustrated in
The operating sequence for a radial arm saw adapted with a control panel according to the present invention is a follows. A red indicator light 202A on the keypad indicates that power is being supplied to the radial arm saw control panel. The user enters the appropriate security code on the keypad to initiate operation. As should be apparent, any suitable code may be used. Upon entry of the appropriate code, a light 206A on control button 206 illuminates indicating that a predetermined operation period, such as five minutes, has begun. The user then must pull control button 206 to automatically supply power from the control panel to the radial arm saw and dust collection system, at which time beacon 208 is activated thus providing a visual signal/warning that power has been supplied and the systems are operational. Shortly before expiration of the predetermined operation period (e.g. 30 seconds prior to expiration) alarm horn 210 sounds as a signal that the saw will automatically shut down shortly. While the system is programmed to allow operation for a predetermined period of time before automatically shutting down, the period of operation may be extended by re-entering the authorization code. If, at any time, the operator wishes to manually shut the systems down he simply must push control button 206.
The instant invention has been shown and described herein in what is considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment. It is recognized, however, that departures may be made therefrom within the scope of the invention and that obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art.

Robert Suter
Professor, Physics
EducationPh.D., Clark University
In collaboration with scientists at Sector 1 of the Advanced Photon Source synchrotron, we are developing a high energy x-ray diffraction microscope (HEDM). This new type of microscope allows for non-destructive mapping of internal microstructure components (crystalline grains and defect fields) in three dimensions inside polycrystalline and even polyphase materials. Being non-destructive, the technique makes it possible to watch the response of microstructures to thermal and/or mechanical treatment well away from the influence of surfaces. A wide range of applications are possible, including questions of basic science (grain growth or phase transformation dynamics) and of industrial interest (fatigue and cracking phenomena).
Both the measurements and the reconstruction of microstructures are challenging. My group at CMU has developed advanced computational techniques and software for generating the microscope output through analysis of hundreds of detector images of diffraction patterns. Computations are performed at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center and on a dedicated cluster in the Physics Department. Interpretation of obtained three dimensional data sets is aided by interaction with other particiapants in the CMU Materials Research Science and Engineering Center.
In addition to the above, I run the Physics Department's x-ray scattering laboratory where measurements are carried out on a wide variety of materials systems including thin solid and fluid films and biologically relevant lipid membranes.

Character Lighting
**Rig is provided with courtesy by MeryProject.com**
***Background is photographed by Yours Truly (me)***
So it has come to week 2! I am flying off in two days so I won't be able to edit this or post any update about week 3.
Anyway, the current assignment is really interesting despite being tedious. Character lighting, basically portrait lighting, with the inclusion of background lighting - you have to match the lights with your background image.
As challenging as it sounds, I had fun! Eyes lighting is still very tricky for me, so I am just gonna keep trying.

It still feels like it has something missing. Hmmm... Waiting for critique right now and then I am gonna try it out again. What did I miss out... hmmmmm...

Hey yo!
I haven't been updating this blog since eons ago but anyway~
Starting a new course this month, my favourite subject - LIGHTING! Learning the basics all over again, hope I can become better at it once I get the hang of it again. Week 1 started out with a really interesting assignment.
You can't change the position or texture of the objects in the scene but you can frame it and light it however you want. Sounds just about right, it seems close enough to a real production workflow.
The above image is just a snippet of mine. Gotta brighten it here and there, adjust the shadows and darker areas. Colors too! *pulls hair while waiting for renders for the 10000000000th time*
Fun awaits. :D

CGMA The Art of Color & Light Wk 4
The most fun assignment by far.
By avoiding color picking, we tried to match the colors from our references. It is hard, definitely, but absolutely fun!
Got a little too carried away with the details which made the whole render too messy. Need to break down into even simpler shapes. More studies to be done.

Diabetes Health Center
High Blood Sugar Raises Cancer Risk
Jan. 11, 2004 -- A study involving more than a million people offers some of the best evidence of an association between diabetes and an increased risk of cancer.
Researchers have found having elevated fasting blood sugar levels increased the risk of dying from cancers of the pancreas and liver, and several other malignancies.
Obesity has been associated with many negative effects on health, including some types of cancer. Because investigators took into account obesity, which is the biggest risk factor for type 2 diabetes, the findings indicate that having diabetes or being at risk for it is an independent risk factor for developing cancers.
The study was conducted in Korea, which has a much lower incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes than the U.S. Only about a quarter of the population is overweight or obese, compared with more than half of Americans.
The research is reported in the Jan. 12 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"What this means is that the public health implications of this finding would be much greater for the United States than for Korea," study author Jonathan Samet, MD, tells WebMD. "Certainly, obesity drives blood sugar and obesity is a known risk factor for certain cancers. So this could be one of the ways in which obesity increases this risk."
1 in 31 Cancer Deaths
Approximately 150 million people worldwide have diabetes, but that number is expected to double within the next two decades as the population ages and becomes more obese and less active. While the association between diabetes and heart disease is well established, the role of diabetes in cancer has been less well understood.
In this study, researchers examined the relationship between fasting blood sugar levels and diabetes and the risk of specific cancers in just under 1.3 million Koreans enrolled in a government-run health insurance plan. During 10 years of follow-up, there were 20,566 cancer deaths among the men in the study and 5,907 cancer deaths among women.
After controlling for known cancer risk factors such as smoking and alcohol use, researchers found that the men in the study with the highest fasting blood sugar levels (those greater than 140 mg/dl) were 29% more likely to die of cancer than men with the lowest levels (those less than 90 mg/dl). The difference among women with the highest and lowest blood sugar levels was 23%.

Youngsta's Top Reasons to #lovecapetown
He's been making waves in the Mother City's Hip Hop scene since 2011 but at heart, Youngsta (born as Riyadh Roberts.) is just a #lovecapetown boytjie with big dreams.
Hailing from the bustling Wynberg in the Southern Suburbs, the 22-year-old rapper has had his sights set on fame since the tender age of 12, when he wrote and recorded his debut single. A decade later, Youngsta is reaping the rewards of pursuing his dreams and can proudly lay claim to the title of South Africa's King of Street Rap , as well as performing alongside some of music's greatest artists including U.S. legend Lil Wayne.
Being Southern Suburbs' girls ourselves with a keen appreciation for the Hip Hop genre, we couldn't wait to meet the enigmatic Youngsta at Hajila Movement , a clothing store in quirky Observatory, and the charismatic performer did not disappoint. In the video below, he shares his tale of success and just why he #love(s)capetown:

Just put on Bestop Trektop
Hey guys, just put on my Trektop last night and just have a couple quick questions for anyone who has one.
1. I rolled the top back last night, but when I went to put it back on this morning, I was physically barely even able to get the hooks to reach the windshield panel. They did not stretch far enough, so after I tightened them, it was not flush with the top of the windshield. I know these are supposed to be extremely tight in order to be most effective, but is there an easier way to connect the top? Is there something I should do first in order to make it physically manageable?
2. In all of the advertisements for the Trektop, they mention how you can roll up the back window? Does anyone know how to do this or if there is a way to do it that allows it to connect back together easily?
Thanks for any help, suggestions, or hints you guys have for this. I am so excited for summer!
I don't have one, but soft tops in general can be difficult to deal with if it's below 70 degrees.
Lets see some replies.....I am planning on getting the Trektop for next winter. I removed my soft top completely and am going to try and survive the summer with only a safari top and the doors in the rain. Luckily I keep the Jeep in a garage at home...and can park it inside my shop during the day.
I don't know how to easily roll back the back window though.
My softtop used to be very hard to latch by myself (normally had the girlfriend push on the back bar).
If I had to do it by myself, I would sit in the seat and pull/slam the top forward...you can manipulate the hook a little to get a couple extra mm...push on the latch and sometimes it will pop the hook in.
To roll the back window up, just roll her up...inside there are stretchy strips with a button...I keep my strips buttons and slide the loop over each end of the back window when rolled up.
hope this helps.
We recommend taking the window all the way out. Otherwise it puts a lot of stress on the zipper. I don't think the Trek has straps or loops to hold it in place while rolled to the top, if that's what you're asking.
Leave it in the sun, and it will stretch out and get easier to connect. There's no real order that you need to follow - it may be easier to to connect the windshield latches first, then work on the back belt rail. With a Supertop or factory top, you can pull down on the bows to get a little flex, and use that to hook in the fabric. But with a Trektop, obviously you can't pull down on the sports bar, so the first few times it goes up and down are definitely challenging.
Awesome thanks for the replies. It is relieving that it will stretch out a bit. I was breaking a sweat (literally) trying to get my top back up last night!!
I broke a sweat my first time too. :rolleyes:
*Goes back to the first time driving with the top down*
I'm breaking a sweat just thinking about it!!!
It is WAY easier to start at the wind shield. Like everyone has said, the colder temps make it harder. i also find that if the windows have been wrinkld too much they dont stretch out readily. it may take time.
Here is what I do.
1) Open and stretch top out.
2) Hook front latches but DO NOT close
3) Connect rear corner post panels
4) Close front latches
5) Put in windows
Easy Peasy even when its cold.
I have a Trektop and love it. It looks cool and now that I've had it for awhile, it has stretched enough for me to be able to take it off and throw it on easy enough. As indicated give it time. I still have issues if the weather is colder, but every top will as it will shrink.
As Geoff indicated, there isn't a "real" way to roll up the back window. I just take mine completely out when I want to and tuck it between my back seat and front seat so it doesn't blow around too much, or just leave it at home.
I do the same, except I hook the back corners before the latches.
Hey guys.. this isn't a regular top, there is no latches on a trektop.

Greek atomic theory49(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12518View Description Hide Description
Physics began about 600 B.C. with the Ionian Greeks and reached full development within three centuries. The creation of the concept of the atom is understandable within the context of Greek physical theory; so is the rejection of the atomic theory by the Greek physicists.
Atomism from Newton to Dalton49(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12519View Description Hide Description
Newton's achievements, both in the P r i n c i p i a and the O p t i c k s, were firmly rooted in an atomistic theory of matter, resembling aspects of modern nuclear physics in its emphasis on fundamental particles held in differing arrays by short and long‐range forces. Marred by premature sophistication, its parameters of particle size and shape and interparticulate forces could not be quantified. Although it inspired many scientists of the eighteenth century and was further developed into a qualitative theory which intrigued scientists into the twentieth century, Newtonian unitary corpuscular (or atomistic) matter theory was replaced for most investigators by a variety of substances for which the particulate nature was of less concern than the character of their gross behavior. It was on this basis that Dalton developed his new (chemical) atomism, reifying the multiplicity of substances with separate atoms for each, distinguished by operational differences in their chemical atomic weights.
Kinetic atom49(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12520View Description Hide Description
In the middle of the 19th century, physicists abandoned the idea of heat as a special kind of matter in favor of the idea that heat was a ''mode of motion'' of ordinary matter. From this ''dynamical'' view of heat, they proceeded to a more precise ''kinetic'' theory and, along with it, the idea of the kinetic atom. This paper will survey the research of men like Joule, Kelvin, Maxwell, Clausius, and Boltzmann, as it comments on the basic conceptual issues involved in this area of the history of physics.
Rutherford–Bohr atom49(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12521View Description Hide Description
Bohr used to introduce his attempts to explain clearly the principles of the quantum theory of the atom with an historical sketch, beginning invariably with the nuclear model proposed by Rutherford. That was sound pedagogy but bad history. The Rutherford–Bohr atom stands in the middle of a line of work initiated by J.J. Thomson and concluded by the invention of quantum mechanics. Thompson's program derived its inspiration from the peculiar emphasis on models characteristic of British physics of the 19th century. Rutherford's atom was a late product of the goals and conceptions of Victorian science. Bohr's modifications, although ultimately fatal to Thomson's program, initially gave further impetus to it. In the early 1920s the most promising approach to an adequate theory of the atom appeared to be the literal and detailed elaboration of the classical mechanics of multiply periodic orbits. The approach succeeded, demonstrating in an unexpected way the force of an argument often advanced by Thomson: because a mechanical model is richer in implications than the considerations for which it was advanced, it can suggest new directions of research that may lead to important discoveries.
Correcting a widespread error concerning the angular velocity of a rotating rigid body49(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12522View Description Hide Description
In obtaining the instantaneous angular velocity of a rotating rigid body, a large number of standard textbooks uses an incorrect argument by only considering the rate of change of the Euler angles but disregarding the simultaneous rate of change of the corresponding time‐dependent rotation axes. Therefore, a correct and concise derivation of this quantity for a rather general case is given, which also reveals that the usual simple formula does not at all arise as the erroneous textbook reasoning suggests, but as a consequence of certain generalized commutation relations satisfied by Euler rotations.
Mechanical resonance of a plastic strip49(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12523View Description Hide Description
An experiment to illustrate mechanical resonance has been designed for use in lower division laboratories. The apparatus and procedure have deliberately been kept as simple as possible. The basic experiment yields measurements of amplitude versus driving frequency, but a fairly simple elaboration allows for measurements of the phase lag as well.
Educational aspects of the structure of physics49(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12524View Description Hide Description
The structure of physics, which consists of physical concepts and their relationships, can be treated as an instructional variable by teachers who make the following choices: defined versus derived concepts, operational versus paraphrase (formal) definitions, theoretical versus empirical relationships. Different forms of the structure of physics will emerge from treatments that differ in these respects. For beginning students, reliance on operational definitions and empirical relationships is recommended. For advanced students, paraphrase definitions and theoretical relationships lead to more efficiency and elegance.
Investigation of student understanding of the concept of acceleration in one dimension49(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12525View Description Hide Description
This paper describes a systematic investigation of the understanding of the concept of acceleration among students enrolled in a variety of introductory physics courses at the University of Washington. The criterion for assessing understanding of a kinematical concept is the ability to apply it successfully in interpreting simple motions of real objects. The main thrust of this study has been on the qualitative understanding of acceleration as the ratio Δv/Δt. The primary data source has been the individual demonstration interview in which students are asked specific questions about simple motions they observe. Results are reported for the success of different student populations in comparing accelerations for two simultaneous motions. Failure to make a proper comparison was due to various conceptual difficulties which are identified and described. Some implications for instruction are briefly discussed.
Physics of sprinting49(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12526View Description Hide Description
Sprinting is described by a simple physical model. The model is used to predict the differences between the recorded times for races on a straight track and on a curve. It is shown that the choice of the running lane makes a non‐negligible difference.
Extended Mach principle49(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12527View Description Hide Description
A self‐consistent universe picture is developed, leading to the extended Mach principle that the origin of all the laws of physics lies with the universe as a whole. The meaning of symmetry of the laws of physics and symmetry of the universe and the connection between symmetries and asymmetries of the laws of physics and those of the universe is discussed in general and for specific cases. An explanation of Hamilton's principle is offered. Predictions of the model are presented. It is suggested that the material is very suitable for informal discussions with students.
Energy levels in helium and neon atoms by an electron‐impact method49(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12528View Description Hide Description
Electronic energy levels in noble gas atoms may be determined with a simple teaching apparatus incorporating a resonance potentials tube in which the electron beam intensity is held constant. The resulting spectra are little inferior to those obtained by more elaborate electron‐impact methods and complement optical emission spectra. Singlet–triplet energy differences may be resolved, and the spectra of helium and neon may be used to illustrate the applicability of Russell–Saunders and other, ''intermediate,'' coupling schemes.
Constants of motion and Hamiltonians49(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12632View Description Hide Description
It is shown that for one‐dimensional motion a canonical momentum can be defined based on the first integral of the equation of motion. By substituting the so defined canonical momentum into the first integral, one obtains a Hamiltonian.
Diffusion in dilute gas mixtures and the Einstein relation49(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12514View Description Hide Description
An Einstein relation between the mutual diffusion coefficient D 12 and the effective mutual friction coefficient β12 can be derived for a dilute gas mixture from Maxwell's transport equation. β12 may be calculated by elementary means to give Chapman's and Enskog's first approximation for D 12. This paper emphasizes the importance of the Galilean transformation properties of β12 and D 12 and shows how they provide a simple demonstration of why D 12 is independent of the gas composition.

Patagonia Men's Better Sweater 1/4-Zip
Durable, fits well, warm. Fits awkwardly—bunches in the armpits and creates muffin top illusion. Fabric loses softness and gets sort of rough after multiple washes. It also pills quickly making the sweater look raggedy just after a couple wears. Very warm, great to layer with though the pullover is awkward to take on and off. Would recommend the full zip over the 1/4 zip. Very durable to tears and snags. Breast pocket is nice to hold a card or bit of cash, but kind of useless overall. Full review

Michael Sisam took over as Heretaunga Intermediate principal in May, since then he has set positive goals to improve the school short and long term. He shares his education philosophy with Amy Shanks.
1 Give us a short history of your roles before Heretaunga Intermediate?
I started teaching at Maidstone Intermediate in Upper Hutt in 2000. I moved to Frimley Primary School in 2005. I worked as a scale A teacher, before being made team leader, then assistant principal, then deputy principal for three years prior to being appointed principal of Heretaunga Intermediate.
2 What goals have you set for the school, short term and long term?
Increase the roll numbers by creating a positive atmosphere for students, staff, whanau and community.
Ensure that we are the intermediate school of first choice for all our contributing schools of Camberley, Frimley, Mahora, Raureka and Ebbett Park and any other Year 7 and 8 students who live on the western side of the railway line.
Increase the amount of professional development for teachers to be able to provide quality learning programmes for the needs of our students.
Bring high expectations, a sense of pride, and positivity to the name of Heretaunga Intermediate.
3 Tell us what you do differently to other principals?
It is all about the relationship with students, staff, whanau and the community. If all parties are made to feel valued, it helps make the core role of schools, teaching and learning, easier. It also helps build the home-school partnership in creating the right learning environment for individual children.
Taking an interest in the students by working alongside them in the classroom, and on the sports field.
4 What is your education philosophy?
My philosophy is based round the 21st century learner. The use of e-learning, formative assessment, and an inquiry learning approach to engage, motivate and make students responsible for their learning are at the core of my philosophy.
All children's needs are different. Programmes need to be designed to improve weaknesses and build on strengths and interests of each student. At the same time, core life skills of high expectations, self-discipline, and independence need to be forefront of all aspects of education in the school setting.
5 How important is the wider life of the school: sporting, drama and cultural activities?
I'm a keen supporter of children being involved in sport, music, drama, and cultural opportunities, and developing their own interests as a way of helping them be fully engaged in learning. Intermediate schools are the perfect place to provide these experiences as our students transition from primary to secondary school.

Feb. 24, 2000 (Cleveland) -- Natural doesn't necessarily equal good or healthy, says Lt. Commander Karl M. Jacobs, MD, who warns that so-called natural supplements, such as ma huang (a.k.a. ephedra), can be the cause of both mental and physical problems.
Ma huang has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine as a stimulant and a treatment for asthma. It has recently become popular as a dietary supplement, despite the fact that between 1993 and 1997 the FDA reported 34 deaths and 800 medical and psychiatric complications associated with ma huang.
And more recently, Jacobs and a colleague, Kenneth A. Hirsch, MD, PhD, report in the journal Psychosomatics that ma huang use can cause psychoses and mood disorders in previously healthy patients. They describe two cases in which previously healthy, young Marines exhibited extreme symptoms, including violence, after regular use of supplements containing ma huang and its active ingredient, ephedrine.
In two cases reported by Jacobs and Hirsch, healthy, enlisted men showed evidence of psychotic episodes during use of supplements containing ma huang. In one case, a 27-year-old Marine became suicidal and extremely irritable. The Marine's behavior was so disruptive that he faced dismissal. His mood returned to normal when he discontinued the supplement. In the second case, a 20-year-old Marine experienced extreme psychosis while taking the supplement. He, too, returned to normal when the supplement was stopped. In each case the men had a maternal family history of depression.
Jacobs, a division psychiatrist for the 1st Marine Division at Camp Pendleton in California, tells WebMD that the natural supplement market is very attractive to health-conscious people, especially younger men and women who may be seeking ways to boost their stamina or aid in weight loss attempts.
But patients should discuss use of any supplement with their physicians, and physicians should conduct a "brown bag inventory" of all supplements and medications, Jacobs says. In such an inventory, patients are told to put all their medications and supplements into a paper bag and bring them to the office so that the clinician can thoroughly review all medications. It is particularly important to warn about supplements containing ma huang if the "patient has a relative, such as a mother, with a history of depression or if the patient has [high blood pressure] or other [heart] disease, because ma huang causes an increase in blood pressure, heart rate, and [breathing]," Jacobs says.

'El Beso De La Victoria:' Sealing The World Cup With A Kiss
In Spain, it's already being compared to the kiss Alfred Eisenstaedt captured in Times Square in 1945. The allied forces claimed victory over Japan; World War II was over and a young sailor spontaneously planted one on a young nurse.
Yesterday, during a a live interview, Spain's goalie Iker Casillas just couldn't help himself and surprised Sara Carbonero, his journalist girlfriend, with an impromptu kiss.

Former Virginia executive chef enters plea to embezzlement charges
A former chef at Virginia's executive mansion was sentenced Wednesday after entering a plea to a charge that he stole food from the first family's kitchen.
Todd Schneider entered a no contest plea to two misdemeanor embezzlement charges less than a month before he was scheduled to stand trial.
Schneider was ordered to serve six months in jail on each charge, with the time suspended. He was also ordered to pay $2,300 to the state in restitution for the food he took.
The case against Schneider led to a misconduct investigation against Governor Bob McDonnell, and entangled Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, who is also running for governor.

Treasuries Fall on U.S. Manufacturing Rise, Fed Minutes Release
Treasury 10-year notes fell for the first time in five days as a report showed manufacturing in the U.S. expanded in December at the fastest pace in six months, damping demand for the safety of government debt.
Longer-maturity bonds led the move lower as the Federal Reserve said it will for the first time make public its own forecasts for the federal funds rate, minutes from the Dec. 13 Federal Open Market Committee said today. Bonds dropped earlier as stocks rose globally amid signs economic growth is improving.
"The data was better than expected," said Anthony Cronin, a Treasury trader in New York at Societe General, one of the 21 primary dealers that trade with the Federal Reserve. "Bonds started to sell off after FOMC. The market was anticipating a lot more from them."
The 10-year yield rose seven basis points, or 0.07 percentage point, to 1.95 percent at 5:01 p.m. in New York, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. The 2 percent note due in November 2021 fell 20/32, or $6.25 per $1,000 face amount, to 100 15/32. The 30-year yield climbed nine basis points to 2.98 percent.
About $161 billion of Treasuries changed hands in New York today through ICAP Plc, the world's largest interdealer broker. The figure is the highest since Dec. 21. The daily average for 2011 was $285 billion.
The difference between the yields on the two-year note and the 30-year bond widened to 2.73 percentage points, the most since Dec. 27 as the Institute for Supply Management's factory index climbed to 53.9 last month from 52.7 in November, the Tempe, Arizona-based group's data showed today. Fifty is the dividing line between growth and contraction, and economists surveyed by Bloomberg News forecast the gauge would rise to 53.5.
FOMC Minutes
FOMC "participants decided to incorporate information about their projections of appropriate monetary policy" into their Summary of Economic Projections starting with their next meeting, the minutes from the Dec. 13 meeting showed.
The move marks another stride toward greater transparency under the chairmanship of Ben S. Bernanke.
"Anything that they can do to give more transparency is important," said William Larkin, a fixed-income money manager who helps oversee $500 million at Cabot Money Management Inc. in Salem, Massachusetts. "We are likely moving toward the end of the cycle at some point. So if they can feed us more data, it will smooth that transition."
The difference between yields on 10-year notes and Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, a gauge of trader expectations for consumer prices over the life of the debt, reached 2.01 percentage points today, the most since Dec. 28. The average over the past decade is 2.13 percentage points.
U.S. payrolls rose by 150,000 in December, after a 120,000 gain in November, a separate survey showed ahead of the data on Jan. 6.
'More Optimistic'
"People are more optimistic," said Charles Comiskey, head of Treasury trading in New York at primary dealer Bank of Nova Scotia. "The data in the U.S. has been generally better than expected. That's reflected in the prices."
In a statement released Dec. 13 after a policy makers meeting, the Fed said the economy in the U.S. is maintaining its expansion even as the global economy slows. The Fed left unchanged its statement that economic conditions are likely to warrant "exceptionally low" interest rates "at least through mid-2013." The central bank lowered its target interest rate to a range of zero to 0.25 percent in December 2008.
Policy makers are unlikely to raise borrowing costs in 2012, with benchmark rates to stay at or close to zero in the U.S. and Europe, according to Pacific Investment Management Co.'s Mohamed A. El-Erian.
Pimco's View
Pimco advises investors stay in the five- to nine-year range in bonds for safety and to earn income, El-Erian, chief executive and co-chief investment officer of the world's biggest manager of bond funds, said in a radio interview today on "Bloomberg Surveillance" with Tom Keene and Ken Prewitt.
The central bank also said last month it would continue its exchange of $400 billion of short-term debt with long-term securities to lengthen the average maturity of its holdings on its balance sheet, an effort traders dubbed Operation Twist.
Treasury yields also trended up amid data this week that showed manufacturing in Germany, China and Australia expanded. China's purchasing managers' index was increased to 50.3 from 49 in November, the logistics federation said Jan. 1. In Germany, the index for December was revised to 48.4 from 48.1, Markit Economics said yesterday. Australia's manufacturing index climbed to 50.2 last month from 47.8 in November, the Australian Industry Group and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP said.
Trading History
U.S. 10-year yields will rise to 2.17 percent by the end of first quarter, according to the median forecasts of 72 economists in a Bloomberg News survey.
Treasuries returned 9.8 percent in 2011, the most since 2008, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch Indexes.
The decline in 10-year Treasuries today pushed yields five basis points above those on German bunds.
Treasury yields typically increase in the first four months of the year while bund yields have historically fallen in January before rising in the next four months, MacNeil Curry, head of foreign-exchange and interest-rates technical strategy at Bank of America Corp. in New York, wrote in an investor report based on historical data dated yesterday.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy are scheduled to meet in Berlin on Jan. 9 to work on ways to curb government spending in the region.
Governments of the world's leading economies have more than $7.6 trillion of debt maturing this year, with most facing a rise in borrowing costs. Led by Japan's $3 trillion and the U.S.'s $2.8 trillion, the amount coming due for the Group of Seven nations and Brazil, Russia, India and China is up from $7.4 trillion at this time last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
