I'm getting some great feedback on whether or not to cross-post and which blog should host what type of content. For the e-mailers, please post a comment to the blog itself. I want other people to see your ideas if possible. The general consensus is this- post technical content (and more of it) on either blog (definitely MSDN), and keep the personal stuff off MSDN blogs.
Keep the feedback coming- unless something changes, I'll probably start cross posting this week. I'm looking at w.bloggar, but if you have any other suggestions please let me know.

AbstractNot Available We propose to construct a novel random phase mask that takes advantage of new gray-scale lithography to improve the performance of high throughput volumetric memories. The focus of the effort will be to produce a phase mask prototype during Phase I that can be integrated onto a Displaytech megapixel spatial light modulator to form an optical write head during Phase II. The proposed Phase II device would be capable of around 3 Gbit/sec throughput. Although this is much faster than the capacity of current recording media, its availability will remove another obstacle to constructing high performance volumetric memory systems and will spur the development of better recording media.

Dreier Accomplice Miller Granted Two Years' Probation
July 7 (Bloomberg) -- Robert L. Miller, who once worked as a lawyer with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, was sentenced to two years' probation for helping New York law firm founder Marc Dreier defraud hedge funds.
U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood imposed the sentence today in New York.
Miller pleaded guilty to impersonating a representative of a Canadian pension plan and an Icelandic hedge fund official as part of Dreier's scheme to sell a phony $44.7 million note. Miller said Dreier paid him $100,000.
The attorney "began spiraling down into the abyss of alcoholism and mental illness" before agreeing to help Dreier, Miller's lawyers said in court papers. He has cooperated with prosecutors, his lawyers said.
Dreier is serving a 20-year sentence in federal prison in Minnesota. He admitted selling at least $400 million in phony notes to hedge funds to pay for his lavish lifestyle and prop up his now-defunct 250-lawyer New York firm, Dreier LLP.
Another admitted Dreier accomplice, former broker Kosta Kovachev, was sentenced to 46 months in prison in March.
The case is U.S. v. Miller, 09-01077, and the Dreier case is U.S. v. Dreier, 09-00085, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Trip Seven
Trip Seven
Trip 7 Productions
Someone needs to have an intervention with Trip Seven. The Arkansas-based trio's press materials lament the label of (gasp) "jam band," adding that, really, if you listen very carefully, they're actually so much more than that. It's the ol' we transcend all genres self-description that proves true about as often as rumors of a GNR reunion.
Well, I listened carefully and tried to give the guys the benefit of the doubt, but if it jams like a Phish and sings like a Phish, it's a jam band. Consider: On a 13-minute-plus jam-heavy O.A.R.-esque tune titled "Solar Reign," lead guitarist and singer Joey Farr offers: "We knew when that rain was in the air/If we didn't get too high there could be rainbows everywhere." The second track, "Little Ball Sparkle," combines funkified String Cheese Incident instrumentals with Jack Johnson-like vocals. Then there's the 14-minute-plus "Alpha/Human B," which opens with a quick riff reminiscent of Van Halen and then spirals into something that belongs on The NeverEnding Story soundtrack, awkwardly alternating between the two for the duration.
Trip Seven may hit the occasional power chord and strive to rawk, but if the band looks hard in the mirror it'll find a young-sounding jam band with an undeniably talented lead guitar player still finding his way. Embrace it, brahs. It's not a damnable offense. (Skylar Browning)
Trip Seven jams at the Top Hat Thursday, June 1, at 10 PM. Cover TBA.
Brightblack Morning Light
Brightblack Morning Light
Matador Records
Lilting string tones, chiming percussion and general languid breeziness lend a spooky but decidely unsinister quality to Brightblack Morning Light's eponymous album of hippie-crystal trance music.
Slide guitar harmonics augment unhurried Fender Rhodes electric piano chords—both wafting melodically over mesmerizing cymbal work that supplies the music with ethereal momentum. Adding to the hazy sense of progression are vocals that sound as though they've been processed through a water-filtered cloud of vaporized hashish, or maybe just a session with Mazzy Star's recording engineer.
It's the perfect soundtrack for a lazy hour in a pillow-filled wall-tent furnished with hookahs but lit by fiber-optic cable. For while a premodern sensibility of caravan meandering resides in its seductive and dulcet tones, the Arabesque tableau shimmers unsteadily before a tingling perception of technology that's inescapable, given the heavily altered acoustics of the vocal tracks.
Instrumentation aside, the compulsively laid-back tempo of Brightblack Morning Light's music is the songs' characteristic feature. Those willing to surrender will undoubtedly be swept away, but a listener could just as easily step out of the current entirely. (Jason Wiener)
Brightblack Morning Light plays The Loft Saturday, June 3. Doors 9 PM. Cover TBA.
Pep Love
Hieroglyphics Imperium
Just because certain types of music are labeled "underground" doesn't necessarily mean they're the most interesting or innovative. Never is this truer than within the various strands of underground hip-hop, and Pep Love's solo debut Ascension is a perfect example.
It's not that Pep Love—a member of California's acclaimed Hieroglyphics crew—doesn't have talent as a rapper; it's evident he's spent countless hours refining his sensible, straightforward rhymes. The problem is that his precise delivery and smooth cadence is so refined it's boring at times. And his lyrics, which cover such mundane topics as loving life and taking responsibility for your actions, follow suit—never reaching for colorful metaphors or intricate storytelling.
What's frustrating is that Ascension does have a few tracks that hint at Pep Love's greater talent. "Act. Phenom" is a highlight, especially with lines like: "Get a clue or get ridiculed when I spit a few/hollow point verbs that'll riddle you pitiful punks/with chunks ripped from your body."
But otherwise the album seems mired in middle ground, treading lightly on terrain already well-worn in the increasingly crowded underground hip-hop landscape. (Ira Sather-Olson)
Pep Love plays with DJ Lex Friday, June 2, at The Loft. Doors 9 PM. $8.
Old Time Relijun
K Records
Musical chaos, if not carefully crafted and syncopated a la the madness of Tom Waits or the distortion of Sonic Youth, often comes across as nothing more than just that—chaos. Old Time Relijun's latest offering, 2012, takes a bold and at times maniacal stab at synchronized discord, yet unfortunately falls short of making the whole thing work, settling for untenable chaos instead.
The album is reportedly named after the mythically apocalyptic date when the Mayan Long Count calendar ends, and so it is fitting that 2012 is space-agey and futuristic. Overall, it's a ballsy and creative effort, but ultimately almost to the point of pretension. The songs play out seemingly without structure, which is presumably intentional, yet the cacophony often seems too forced, and the songs grate irritatingly.
The lyrics of vocalist/saxophonist/guitarist Arrington Dionysio are candid and often funny, but he moans and screams like David Byrne being castrated. Old Time Relijun's attempt at an otherworldly sound is successful, but it's not clear at what expense. Collectively, 2012 meshes less like a futuristic dance party and more like the reek of a head-aching hangover. (Rachel Carlson)
Old Time Relijun plays The Raven Cafe Tuesday, June 6, at 10 PM. $6.

Has anyone potty trained their toddler that wasn't talking yet? I want to start potty training my 23 month old, but he only says a few letters and makes a few sounds. Does anyone have any advice that might help me? Also can anyone recommend a good potty training book that they may have used?
potty training toddler that doesn't speak
Comments (10)
I would personally wait till the toddler could express his/her need to use the toilet . There are certain signs of readiness ( read more here www.babycenter.com/toilet-training-... ). Basically if he is ready to learn new things, & not resisting go for it slowly. Eventually he will learn.

www.pottyscotty.com (great doll!) Potty Patty for girls
My girl has Down syndrome and I have been using this with her AND SHE'S GETTING IT!!! She has only one word - HI!, but I figured since she can tell me when she wants to eat, she can learn about her body and tell me when she needs to go. I didn't wait for her to show any interest - I figured I'd be waiting forever for that. I just started with the www.3daypottytraining.com method and then showed her the video for about two weeks before I did the 3day method and she is really getting it. She always poops in the toilet (I started with the toilet because of the cool flushing action and not a potty) and most of the time she will pee in it. She usually signs potty to let me know she needs to go, she's not 100% consistent with it, but she'll get there. I'm not worried about it at all.
Chris - Olivia (3/2009) with T21 & Apraxia & ALL Leukemia survivor.One and done! I'm old and tired!
Try sign language or a basic signal, a "new" sound that means "potty" (puh puh or tee tee would be good bc it could be expanded into potty later), or even just encouraging him to get up and walk toward the bathroom when he needs to potty.
Good luck!
If we kept our elderly in wet or dirty diapers it is abuse but insisting a 3 or 4 year old wear one is "waiting until theyre ready". LOL! Like a PP said, what if you have one of those 3 or 4 year olds that resist? Do you still wait?
I would use a sign that not necessarily the American sign language sign but one that you and your child understand. At age 2 you may get resistance as that's a tough age but 2.5 is the worst so do it now or you'll be waiting til she's over3. Moms try to train 2.5 year olds and decide theyre not ready when ready when really, it's too late and the child is in a phase of independence, defiance, boundary defying and rapid development. There's so much going on and they're so active and busy that sitting to poop is the last thing they want to do.
Watch videos on YouTube like Alleke potty video with her, read potty books from your library or check indigo, there's lots. Always let her see you go. Use a doll, any doll, and train it with your DD to go potty. Use prunes for poop and a hidden syringe like from baby medication, for pee.
Do bare bum for a few days and watch her super close. When she's about to go, throw her on potty and praise her. Give a small treat.
Go on Nuts nd Bolts of potty Training board for support. The first post has lots of links to check out. Please read the thread. A PP on this thread gave you good tips too. Go for it!
I completely agree with the last poster. I waited with my DD because she had a gross motor delay and couldn't pull her own pants down. When she finally could, she was 3 and strong willed beyond belief. It took over a year of misery to get her trained and she still at 4 1/2 shows signs that it was traumatic for her, including purposely dehydrating herself so she won't have to pee a lot -- sometimes she'll go only three times a day, often very dark yellow.
When my DS came along, I decided to proceed very differently. He was non-verbal when I started him at 11 1/2 months but I taught him the potty sign and repeated it every time he sat down, every time we talked about it, every time he went. He was signing regularly by 16 months, when his only spoken word was "bigdog" (LOL, all one word). He's 26 months now and we're pretty much done.
I recommend the book "Diaper Free by 3" if you want a method. I got it from the library and read it in a few days. It was really helpful.
Happy Mommy to Peanut (girl, 6/27/07), Bean (boy, 12/11/09), and Sprout (girl, 10/31/13)
I have an extra Signing Time: It's Potty Time DVD if you are interested. My ds loves dancing to the music it has. It's fun.
It is more than possible. Good luck.

This is terrible. I have been the victim of identity fraud and it takes years
to clear up.
In my case the perp even got a Costco card and Costco had his picture on file. I gave the picture to the police and they were not interested.
The major problem is the credit reporting agencies and financial institutions are very lax in how they allow accounts to be opened. Credit reporting agencies want to be able to sell your information. Banks and credit card companies also want it as easy as possible for you to use credit.
Two major reforms:
1. If a bank or credit card company allows a person to open an account fraudulently they must be required to clean up your account and pay all damages. This will not stop until this happens. Currently if a credit card is used at a store fraudulently the store eats it, not the credit card company.
2. You can put a credit freeze on your information. This means your credit information cannot be accesses or new credit accounts created unless you allow it. You even get a pin number. This should be the default condition and it should be free.

I cannot believe a Utah Government and County Health Department people would have a system that would handout social security and other sensitive information to the world. It is handed to the world on a platter and the people that depended on the government for the safety and welfare of society are the ones holding the bag, empty bag, that is. With that type of information the bad guys, and there are a whole bunch of thems-guys out there, even in Utah, they will use that information for potentially years to come. The system, if it can be breached, will. Where is the system that is to protect these people that rely on the government to protect the information that the government has required for 70 plus years? It is not just a one-time slip up where the truck driver deliving the tapes didn't deliver them and parked in his parking lot overnight and then they were magically gone in the morning. There is a system problem, and if the State thought the system was good because it is similar to what the Federal agencies have, they are wrong. This type of mistake is unforgiveable. Audit now.

Folks, this is just a precursor to the fraud and waste and cost that will happen
if Obamacare is inacted. The local news here in the Dallas area is
investigating a bunch of orthodontists that are scamming the system and it looks
like tens of millions of dollars or possibly more.
The people running these government systems have no skin in the game so they don't care what kind of monies they pay out. Medicare has turned out to be much of a scam. And this is running up taxes and medical costs!

The Repubs. (my party preference BTW)have completely and totally controlled the State of Utah for far too long.

The state giveth and the state taketh away. We send our taxes to the omniscient, omnipotent government and where it stops, nobody knows. There is little accountability for civil servants at the state or federal level (unless you spend $800,000+ for a Las Vegas junket) and it is virtually impossible to fire even a grossly incompetent state employee.

The problem I have is that there are a great number of people who had their information shared even though they were never part of medicaid/medicare. For example, my son is on the list of possible victims at the age of 5 because he went to a hospital for care. Why is the state gathering information on people who are not on thier systems? Scary thought for those who want the government to control all healthcare.

By the time of presentation, the recently agreed format for the component digital video tape recorder should have been accepted by the CCIR as a worldwide standard. The format includes four channels of digital audio each with an independent editing capability. It will be the object of the proposed paper to describe the format with particular emphasis on the error control strategy, the integration of the audio and video digital data into a common packet format, and the implications from a systems viewpoint including the area of synchronous v asynchronous operation.

When we go home, it's not five minutes before I'm bounding up the stairs to my room, the room with mocha-colored walls that my dad let me pick the paint for, where the bookcase is still filled with my books and the windows overlook a backyard I've watched, year after year, turn from green to brown to white winter snow before my eyes. I plop down my bags and head back to the kitchen, a kitchen where the fridge holds unending options, from last night's leftovers to fresh cherries and strawberries to kombucha. At night, Tim and I share the big wooden sleigh bed I've had since eighth grade, and we hear my parents' voices in the room below us before we fall asleep. My brother makes us banana pecan pancakes for breakfast, and my mom bakes a chicken pot pie from a book I love, and Tim pulls together spinach-ricotta gnocchi, and I chill a tray of coconut dreams.

Blueberry Cookie Dough Truffles (Gluten-Free)
(We're still away visiting family, but we couldn't wait to share this recipe with you. With any luck, we'll be making it again in Chicago!) We're walking through the grocery store, and Tim's telling me about this idea he has for using up the case of blueberries in our cart (because apparently it's an annual tradition). "It'd be like a cookie," he's saying, "but you wouldn't bake it, and there'd be blueberries mixed inside. Then, we'll dip them in chocolate!"

Nashville Food Trucks: local meets mobile in Tennessee
[It's a little ironic to be posting something I like about Nashville right when we are miles and miles away from it, but, nonetheless, while I'm showing Tim that quiet place where time slows down, we're showing you something about the place we call home. We'll be slower to respond this week (no Internet at the cabin!) but we'll be back here as soon as we can.] Here's the thing about Nashville: it's not Chicago. I mean, I've liked Music City since the day I came but, besides Tim, there's little about it that feels like home. It's smaller and it's hotter and you can drive 30 minutes in almost any direction and end up in the kind of empty town that feels like someone must be pulling your leg. Everyone's a hipster. Or a hippie. Or a musician or a writer (!) or a debutante. And there are a lot of times I have someone who's not from here ask me what it's like to be from here, and I want to say to them, who me?

SAN ANTONIO (July 31, 2014) A man died early Thursday morning in an exchange of gunfire with a San Antonio police officer who was responding to a report of a cfar theft.
The officer spotted the man crouching behind a car, San Antonio police chief William McManus said.
The man ran and the officer followed him, he said.
Then the man jumped a fence, stopped and opened fire on the officer, who fired back, McManus said.
The man fled, but the crew of a police helicopter later spotted his body in a nearby field.
His name wasn't immediately released.
The officer was placed on administrative leave until an investigation is completed, which is standard protocol in such cases, McManus said.

PLATO 2.0 has recently been selected for ESA's M3 launch opportunity (2022/24). Providing accurate key planet parameters (radius, mass, density and age) in statistical numbers, it addresses fundamental questions such as: How do planetary systems form and evolve? Are there other systems with planets like ours, including potentially habitable planets? The PLATO 2.0 instrument consists of 34 small aperture telescopes (32 with 25 s readout cadence and 2 with 2.5 s candence) providing a wide field-of-view (2232 deg 2) and a large photometric magnitude range (4–16 mag). It focusses on bright (4–11 mag) stars in wide fields to detect and characterize planets down to Earth-size by photometric transits, whose masses can then be determined by ground-based radial-velocity follow-up measurements. Asteroseismology will be performed for these bright stars to obtain highly accurate stellar parameters, including masses and ages. The combination of bright targets and asteroseismology results in high accuracy for the bulk planet parameters: 2 %, 4–10 % and 10 % for planet radii, masses and ages, respectively. The planned baseline observing strategy includes two long pointings (2–3 years) to detect and bulk characterize planets reaching into the habitable zone (HZ) of solar-like stars and an additional step-and-stare phase to cover in total about 50 % of the sky. PLATO 2.0 will observe up to 1,000,000 stars and detect and characterize hundreds of small planets, and thousands of planets in the Neptune to gas giant regime out to the HZ. It will therefore provide the first large-scale catalogue of bulk characterized planets with accurate radii, masses, mean densities and ages. This catalogue will include terrestrial planets at intermediate orbital distances, where surface temperatures are moderate. Coverage of this parameter range with statistical numbers of bulk characterized planets is unique to PLATO 2.0. The PLATO 2.0 catalogue allows us to e.g.: - complete our knowledge of planet diversity for low-mass objects, - correlate the planet mean density-orbital distance distribution with predictions from planet formation theories,- constrain the influence of planet migration and scattering on the architecture of multiple systems, and - specify how planet and system parameters change with host star characteristics, such as type, metallicity and age. The catalogue will allow us to study planets and planetary systems at different evolutionary phases. It will further provide a census for small, low-mass planets. This will serve to identify objects which retained their primordial hydrogen atmosphere and in general the typical characteristics of planets in such low-mass, low-density range. Planets detected by PLATO 2.0 will orbit bright stars and many of them will be targets for future atmosphere spectroscopy exploring their atmosphere. Furthermore, the mission has the potential to detect exomoons, planetary rings, binary and Trojan planets. The planetary science possible with PLATO 2.0 is complemented by its impact on stellar and galactic science via asteroseismology as well as light curves of all kinds of variable stars, together with observations of stellar clusters of different ages. This will allow us to improve stellar models and study stellar activity. A large number of well-known ages from red giant stars will probe the structure and evolution of our Galaxy. Asteroseismic ages of bright stars for different phases of stellar evolution allow calibrating stellar age-rotation relationships. Together with the results of ESA's Gaia mission, the results of PLATO 2.0 will provide a huge legacy to planetary, stellar and galactic science. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 25 (7 ULg)

ORIGIN is a proposal for the M3 mission call of ESA aimed at the study of metal creation from the epoch of cosmic dawn. Using high-spectral resolution in the soft X-ray band, ORIGIN will be able to identify the physical conditions of all abundant elements between C and Ni to red-shifts of z = 10, and beyond. The mission will answer questions such as: When were the first metals created? How does the cosmic metal content evolve? Where do most of the metals reside in the Universe? What is the role of metals in structure formation and evolution? To reach out to the early Universe ORIGIN will use Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) to study their local environments in their host galaxies. This requires the capability to slew the satellite in less than a minute to the GRB location. By studying the chemical composition and properties of clusters of galaxies we can extend the range of exploration to lower redshifts ( z ˜0.2). For this task we need a high-resolution spectral imaging instrument with a large field of view. Using the same instrument, we can also study the so far only partially detected baryons in the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM). The less dense part of the WHIM will be studied using absorption lines at low redshift in the spectra for GRBs. The ORIGIN mission includes a Transient Event Detector (coded mask with a sensitivity of 0.4 photon/cm[SUP]2[/SUP]/s in 10 s in the 5-150 keV band) to identify and localize 2000 GRBs over a five year mission, of which ˜65 GRBs have a redshift >7. The Cryogenic Imaging Spectrometer, with a spectral resolution of 2.5 eV, a field of view of 30 arcmin and large effective area below 1 keV has the sensitivity to study clusters up to a significant fraction of the virial radius and to map the denser parts of the WHIM (factor 30 higher than achievable with current instruments). The payload is complemented by a Burst InfraRed Telescope to enable onboard red-shift determination of GRBs (hence securing proper follow up of high-z bursts) and also probes the mildly ionized state of the gas. Fast repointing is achieved by a dedicated Controlled Momentum Gyro and a low background is achieved by the selected low Earth orbit. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 40 (6 ULg)
High precision astrometry mission for the detection and characterization of nearby habitable planetary systems with the Nearby Earth Astrometric Telescope (NEAT)

A complete census of planetary systems around a volume-limited sample of solar-type stars (FGK dwarfs) in the Solar neighborhood (d ≤ 15 pc) with uniform sensitivity down to Earth-mass planets within their Habitable Zones out to several AUs would be a major milestone in extrasolar planets astrophysics. This fundamental goal can be achieved with a mission concept such as NEAT—the Nearby Earth Astrometric Telescope. NEAT is designed to carry out space-borne extremely-high-precision astrometric measurements at the 0.05 μas (1 σ) accuracy level, sufficient to detect dynamical effects due to orbiting planets of mass even lower than Earth's around the nearest stars. Such a survey mission would provide the actual planetary masses and the full orbital geometry for all the components of the detected planetary systems down to the Earth-mass limit. The NEAT performance limits can be achieved by carrying out differential astrometry between the targets and a set of suitable reference stars in the field. The NEAT instrument design consists of an off-axis parabola single-mirror telescope (D = 1 m), a detector with a large field of view located 40 m away from the telescope and made of 8 small movable CCDs located around a fixed central CCD, and an interferometric calibration system monitoring dynamical Young's fringes originating from metrology fibers located at the primary mirror. The mission profile is driven by the fact that the two main modules of the payload, the telescope and the focal plane, must be located 40 m away leading to the choice of a formation flying option as the reference mission, and of a deployable boom option as an alternative choice. The proposed mission architecture relies on the use of two satellites, of about 700 kg each, operating at L2 for 5 years, flying in formation and offering a capability of more than 20,000 reconfigurations. The two satellites will be launched in a stacked configuration using a Soyuz ST launch vehicle. The NEAT primary science program will encompass an astrometric survey of our 200 closest F-, G- and K-type stellar neighbors, with an average of 50 visits each distributed over the nominal mission duration. The main survey operation will use approximately 70% of the mission lifetime. The remaining 30% of NEAT observing time might be allocated, for example, to improve the characterization of the architecture of selected planetary systems around nearby targets of specific interest (low-mass stars, young stars, etc.) discovered by Gaia, ground-based high-precision radial-velocity surveys, and other programs. With its exquisite, surgical astrometric precision, NEAT holds the promise to provide the first thorough census for Earth-mass planets around stars in the immediate vicinity of our Sun.

The "Ice Giants" Uranus and Neptune are a different class of planet compared to Jupiter and Saturn. Studying these objects is important for furthering our understanding of the formation and evolution of the planets, and unravelling the fundamental physical and chemical processes in the Solar System. The importance of filling these gaps in our knowledge of the Solar System is particularly acute when trying to apply our understanding to the numerous planetary systems that have been discovered around other stars. The Uranus Pathfinder (UP) mission thus represents the quintessential aspects of the objectives of the European planetary community as expressed in ESA's Cosmic Vision 2015-2025. UP was proposed to the European Space Agency's M3 call for medium-class missions in 2010 and proposed to be the first orbiter of an Ice Giant planet. As the most accessible Ice Giant within the M-class mission envelope Uranus was identified as the mission target. Although not selected for this call the UP mission concept provides a baseline framework for the exploration of Uranus with existing low-cost platforms and underlines the need to develop power sources suitable for the outer Solar System. The UP science case is based around exploring the origins, evolution, and processes at work in Ice Giant planetary systems. Three broad themes were identified: (1) Uranus as an Ice Giant, (2) An Ice Giant planetary system, and (3) An asymmetric magnetosphere. Due to the long interplanetary transfer from Earth to Uranus a significant cruise-phase science theme was also developed. The UP mission concept calls for the use of a Mars Express/Rosetta-type platform to launch on a Soyuz-Fregat in 2021 and entering into an eccentric polar orbit around Uranus in the 2036-2037 timeframe. The science payload has a strong heritage in Europe and beyond and requires no significant technology developments. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 48 (3 ULg)

The magnetic field plays a pivotal role in many fields of Astrophysics. This is especially true for the physics of the solar atmosphere. Measuring the magnetic field in the upper solar atmosphere is crucial to understand the nature of the underlying physical processes that drive the violent dynamics of the solar corona—that can also affect life on Earth. SolmeX, a fully equipped solar space observatory for remote-sensing observations, will provide the first comprehensive measurements of the strength and direction of the magnetic field in the upper solar atmosphere. The mission consists of two spacecraft, one carrying the instruments, and another one in formation flight at a distance of about 200 m carrying the occulter to provide an artificial total solar eclipse. This will ensure high-quality coronagraphic observations above the solar limb. SolmeX integrates two spectro-polarimetric coronagraphs for off-limb observations, one in the EUV and one in the IR, and three instruments for observations on the disk. The latter comprises one imaging polarimeter in the EUV for coronal studies, a spectro-polarimeter in the EUV to investigate the low corona, and an imaging spectro-polarimeter in the UV for chromospheric studies. SOHO and other existing missions have investigated the emission of the upper atmosphere in detail (not considering polarization), and as this will be the case also for missions planned for the near future. Therefore it is timely that SolmeX provides the final piece of the observational quest by measuring the magnetic field in the upper atmosphere through polarimetric observations.

The DynaMICCS mission is designed to probe and understand the dynamics of crucial regions of the Sun that determine solar variability, including the previously unexplored inner core, the radiative/convective zone interface layers, the photosphere/chromosphere layers and the low corona. The mission delivers data and knowledge that no other known mission provides for understanding space weather and space climate and for advancing stellar physics (internal dynamics) and fundamental physics (neutrino properties, atomic physics, gravitational moments...). The science objectives are achieved using Doppler and magnetic measurements of the solar surface, helioseismic and coronographic measurements, solar irradiance at different wavelengths and in-situ measurements of plasma/energetic particles/magnetic fields. The DynaMICCS payload uses an original concept studied by Thalès Alenia Space in the framework of the CNES call for formation flying missions: an external occultation of the solar light is obtained by putting an occulter spacecraft 150 m (or more) in front of a second spacecraft. The occulter spacecraft, a LEO platform of the mini sat class, e.g. PROTEUS, type carries the helioseismic and irradiance instruments and the formation flying technologies. The latter spacecraft of the same type carries a visible and infrared coronagraph for a unique observation of the solar corona and instrumentation for the study of the solar wind and imagers. This mission must guarantee long (one 11-year solar cycle) and continuous observations (duty cycle > 94%) of signals that can be very weak (the gravity mode detection supposes the measurement of velocity smaller than 1 mm/s). This assumes no interruption in observation and very stable thermal conditions. The preferred orbit therefore is the L1 orbit, which fits these requirements very well and is also an attractive environment for the spacecraft due to its low radiation and low perturbation (solar pressure) environment. This mission is secured by instrumental R and D activities during the present and coming years. Some prototypes of different instruments are already built (GOLFNG, SDM) and the performances will be checked before launch on the ground or in space through planned missions of CNES and PROBA ESA missions (PICARD, LYRA, maybe ASPIICS).

Fabrication, packaging and experimental results on the calibration of metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetectors made on diamond are reported. LYRA (Lyrnan-alpha RAdiometer onboard PROBA-2) will use diamond detectors for the first time in space for a solar physics instrument. A set of measurement campaigns was designed to obtain the XUV-to-VIS responsivity of the devices and other characterizations. The measurements of responsivity in EUV and VUV spectral ranges (40-240 nm) have been carried out by the Physkalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Germany at the electron storage ring BESSY II. The longer wavelength range from 210 to 1127 nm was measured with monochromatic light by using a Xe-lamp at IMO-IMOMEC. The diamond detectors exhibit a photoresponse which lie in the 35-65 mA/W range at 200 nm (corresponding to an external quantum efficiency of 20-40%) and indicate a visible rejection ratio (200-500 nm) higher than four orders of magnitude.

The taste is very good and the color so beautiful. But it was a bit too sweet for our taste. Thanks Brenda :) Made for the apple events in the Spain forum.
I love this cocktail! The apple Schnapps was a new flavor for me, as I usually only have peach or peppermint on hand, so I was really surprised at how much I liked the apple. Pineapple juice in anything is good & this drink is no different. I've made it twice actually. The first time I made it exactly as stated and it was a beautiful blue until I added enough pineapple juice to fill the rocks glass; then it turned green. Well, I couldn't post a photo of a green cocktail to a recipe called Blue Light Special! :) So, the next afternoon I made it again, upping the Schnapps to about 1-1/2 oz, 1/2 oz each of the vodka & curacao and then just topping off with the pineapple juice to fill a martini glass. The bonus is that I got to enjoy this drink all over again! Thanks for posting, Bren!Made & enjoyed for Spain & Portugal Forum's Cooking with Apples event. :)
Beautiful and delicious! It's a little cold here in Maine to be drinking this today, so I'll probably save the next one for summer! Thanks, Brenda! Made for my PAC Fall 2009 co-host.

MARTINS FERRY The oil and natural gas boom brought on by the Marcellus and Utica Shale is still in its infancy stages in the Ohio Valley, at least in terms of economic impact.
But that impact is coming.
Linda Woggon, the executive director of the Ohio Shale Coalition, attempted to relay that information to a gathering Wednesday afternoon in Martins Ferry, hosted by the Belmont County Shale Coalition.
Woggon, who is also the executive vice president of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, gave a presentation attempted to summise the findings of an economic impact study funded through the OSC.
"Pennsylvania produced an economic impact study early in its Marcellus play," Woggon said. "We decided it would be a good first project for the Ohio Shale Competition.
"We started last summer to pull together data and make some assumptions and project economic impact for Ohio from there."
Woggon noted the study period ranges from 2011-2014, looking at only upstream and midstream benefits of the Utica Shale only.
In the OCS' estimation, the Utica play will be the more lucrative of the two considering the possibility to wet gas as opposed to the Marcellus.
The study team used conservative projections for all variables.
It used four major areas of investment for making its projections: leasing, royalties and right-of-way payments; road construction; drilling and completion of wells and midstream infrastructure.
Its findings projected the annual production of oil and gas from the Utica Shale growing to nearly $10 billion in 2014 ($9.6B).
The total value added to Ohio's economy will amount to $4.9B. Labor income is coming in just less than $3.3B.
By 2014, the study also projected more than 65,000 jobs will be created or supported. State and local tax revenues are projected in the nearly $434M range.
While Woggon noted the study didn't factor in any downstream economic impact, i.e. manufacturing, hydrocarbon consumers, etc. she did note that those figures should be part of the future updating of this study.
As the shale play further ingrains itself in the Ohio Valley, the researchers will have better, more solid numbers to base their projections on.
She did touch on a few downstream effects, explaining it will be a significant part of the overall positive benefits to Ohio.
"We'll see a rebirth in the manufacturing economy," Woggon said. "Shell is planning that cracker plant in Western Pa.
"A lot of companies are going to want to locate near that plant and will build new facilities and create jobs."
Woggon also touted the online database created for the 12 rural counties in Southeastern Ohio. This was created so producers can make their companies and information available online to industry members looking to hook up with suppliers.
The website is located at www.ohioshaleenergy.com and companies are encouraged to get listed in what is being called the Ohio Shale Supply Chain Database.
It's important to not only list what your company has to offer, but to make sure you know exactly what you have, how much and how quickly you can get more.
When those companies call, they don't have time to sit around and wait for answers, Woggon said. If you're not ready, they will find someone who will.
That's one of the unique opportunities/challenges posed by the shale boom.
Another, Woggon explained, is the upcoming rapid growth that will hit local communities.
"Some communities have struggled with the very rapid growth," Woggon said. "It takes revenue, ramping up safety forces. There is a lot of wear and tear on the infrastructure.
"We will have to get our arms around that issue."
Another problem is making sure there is a well-trained and available local work force to take advantage of the increased job opportunities.
Local technical and community colleges can play a major role in tackling this problem by providing targeted training and programs aimed at getting the work force ready.

Some Borrelia species are the causative agents of tick-borne Lyme disease responsible for different disabilities depending on species and hosts. Borrelia are highly motile bacterial cells, and light microscopy shows that these spirochetes can associate with each other during movement. Using cryo-electron tomography, we observed closely associated Borrelia cells. Some of these showed a single outer membrane surrounding two longitudinally arranged cytoplasmic cylinders. We also observed fusion of two cytoplasmic cylinders and differences in the surface layer density of fused spirochetes. These processes could play a role in the interaction of Borrelia species with the host's immune system.

Skip to comments.US forces turn on Iranians

"...It's time we recognized the nature of the conflict. It's total war and we are all involved. Nobody on our side is exempted because of age, gender, or handicap. The Islamofacists have stolen childhood from the world." [FReeper Retief]
"...That the totalitarian force pitted against freedom wears a religious makes this civil war among mankind all the more difficult to engage. Loving freedom as we do, it seems reprehensible to deliberate against a religion. But this is no ordinary religion as it demands absolute obedience of all to their religion at the cost of freedom itself." [FReeper Backtothestreets]
No, kick their asses....then smite them
I don't think so. Congress is talking about pulling the plug for funding Iraq.
As angry Americans laid seige to the Capitol building.....
I feel the same as you. You don't go to war to shake hands. You go to war to KILL THE ENEMY on sight!! I hope and pray that the army has been given new instructions to actually kill the enemy. Political corruptness does not win wars. CO
Shia cleric---Fat boy?
Oh how I would love to see "angry Americans lay seige on the Capitol and all the stupid liberal riff raff in it". Those are the asses that really need to be kicked.
This is a really important turn of events with a lot of implications.
If the mullah's were to lose the arab shiite territory of Khuzestan with its oil pipelines and refineries, Iran would be living on pastichio nuts and flying carpets...
It's time to kick some Iranian a$$.
You always have the coolest stuff!
This should have happened long before now.
Nancy Pelosi and her gang of Liberals never met a terrorist they didn't love and feel sorry for.
Political correctness is directly responsible for most US casualties in OIF.
From day 1, we've refrained from displaying the flag when crossing the Kuwait-Iraq border. We've not returned fire when being fired upon from mosques. We let Moqtada al-Sadr get away and let his forces fight another day.
If we don't change the ROE to give PC the boot, we're toast.
Bottom line ... our most dangerous enemies are the enemies within. We need to silence the Frankfurt School minions in the media, the Gramsci disciples in the DemocRAT party, and the one-time recipients of KGB support in Hollywood and academia once and for all. Even if it takes suspending habeus corpus to do it.
Kill enuff of them and they will eventually tire of dying.
Propagandists at work....
The press is the propaganda arm of the American left and they have an agenda...see this:
"You didn't see LeFors out there did you?"
"LeFors? No."
"Good. For a minute there, I thought we were in trouble."
Did you know that our Troops actually know how to read?
Did you know that the IEDs actually have labels on them that can be read even after they blow up?
You know, made in China.... and stuff? Can you add 1 plus 1?
Why shouldn't they leak such information?
Tar and Feather futures are up.
Kill them, cut them into little pieces, and send the pieces to Achmadjibberjabber.
May the glow follow your soldier into the valley.
That information is old news. Now it is in your
face confirmed.
Look at the US Bases in the area. Iran and Syria
should be very worried. My evil twin would had
nuked those Shia Islamic holy cities years ago but
Dick Cheney's not so secrete earthquake resonant
frequency satellite could do the job just as well.
Just as a sidebar thought, April or May oil futures
contract to the call side should be a good play. Those
pipe lines could be toast if the Shite's hit the fan.
First off, if you were to read the story, it implies that Bush has signed off on pursuing the Iranian's more aggressively and this story called it "clandestine" meaning that the order was to be kept a secret and a politician leaked this. It's no secret that the Iranians leave tell-tale industrial signatures and that troops and intel know this as we all do here on Freep. If you feel the need to belittle me thats your prerogative but try to keep it in context.
We are in this together.
LOL it's cool, I understand. I get pissed after a few refreshes and when I visit MEMRI.

Uranos Sarikaya: Cave restaurant
Mustafa took us to this cave restaurant for lunch. It is obviously a place that many tour guides take their clients. You get served a three course meal and listen to various live Turkish music. It was OK.

S.O.S. Restaurant & Cafe: BEST KEBAP IN GOREME
central location, indoor and outdoor dining, eager staff. i got there pretty late in the evening but they fired up the oven for me anyway.
Favorite Dish: they have the best tasting kebaps in goreme! servings are generous and the bread is served freshly baked and in large portions.
Address: along muze cad
Directions: just behind the otogar (bus station)
Alaturca: Nice decor, average food
We had dinner at this restaurant on our first evening in Goreme after touring the Open Air Museum. It is located in the center of Goreme and offers traditional Anatolian cuisine. The restaurant is very inviting when you walk in. We had a look at the menu and it seemed to have a good variety with modest prices, perhaps a bit high, but not too much so. There is a sitting area on the first floor with some ambiance that you can enjoy a drink or snack before dinner. We came in out of the rain and were content to just sit for a while. The atmosphere was relaxed and there was no pressure to order anything. This was pleasant. Eventually we ordered some tea that was quite delicious.
When we were ready to eat, we adjourned to the upstairs dining area. While not as meticulously decorated as the downstairs, it was open and spacious with well arranged tables and a central bar area. It did not seem particularly busy, but it was the winter season too. Our waiter was friendly and attentive and endeavored to be helpful with suggestions. He had to consult with other members of the staff a couple times regarding our questions on the menu, but I think he was new to the staff and wanted to be sure he was giving us the right answers. We were in no hurry so this was fine.
I will have to say that the food did not really live up to what the menu promised. There was nothing particularly wrong with the combinations of food in the dishes or the presentation, but in the preparation I think. I had some fish, which I thought was rather dry. The seasoning on the accompanying items seemed a bit uninspired too. My friends seemed to enjoy their dishes more than I, but there was nothing to rave about either. My assessment would be that you can expect something very average here, at a price that doesn't quite match the quality of the food. This restaurant is recommended in several tour books, but I found it a bit disappointing.

Dibek Restaurant: do it in Turkish way
Very 'local' restaurant that you basicly sit on the floor and eat in very nomadic way.There are lovely cats all around and rest. provides local food only , like manti (boiled pastry in mince and topped garlic yoghurt)
Favorite Dish: mantiiiii
Address: On the way to central mosqueAdd to your Trip Planner
cappa restaurant: Good turkish food
The best meal I had over there was a vegetarian dish. They cooked it in a closed pot. They served it to me with a hammer. I had the opportunity to open the pot with the hammer.
Good advise: hit it softly the pot cracks pretty fast.
Directions: It's opposite to where the road to the open air museum starts.Add to your Trip Planner
Art Cafe, Uchisar: Highest sunset Point in Kapadokiya is at Art Cafe
One of us went through the museum doors to see the Uchisar castle. The rest ( three of us) sat outside around waiting for him to return. The only restaurant in the area has valley view and numerous canopies with tables underneath. The owner, a friendly and warm Turkish gentleman who has spent half his life in Germany came along and invited us in. We resisted and he told us that we don't need to order anything. He then joked and asked if we would like tea with milk ( free, as we were his 'guests' not his customers). The Turkish have tea without milk; clearly he was referring to our Indian origin. I asked him how he knew we were from India, and that is how the conversation started. The host signaled to someone behind in the kitchen and we were offered tea. Later when my husband came down from the castle we sat and ordered some food. Enjoyable/delicious meal. Unhurried and tasty. Sat about, walked, talked. Played with the dog ( beautiful pet dog who plays around in the area). Then we waited for the sunset. It was cold and windy and the owner offered us ( three of us- me and our kids) warm shawls. The sunset was beautiful. It is the best place in the valley and perhaps the whole area to watch the sun setting since Uchisar Castle is the highest point around. They have barbeque and dancing at night in the open air restaurant.

Debek: Old World Turkey
This is in a family run restaurant in a 475-year-old building. They make their own wine and serve it in cups that reminded me of what one would see in a Bible movie. The food comes in generous portions and was delicious.
Ala turca Restaurant: try manti !!
Located right in the centre of Goreme (opposite to bus station ) provides beatiful view via its terrace and also has a lovely courtyard with lots of cushins on the grass.
Favorite Dish: I love meze 'cold starters' plate with glass of cold raki and after a huge t-bone steak will do :)

First of all view is fantastic : a terrace with huge formation view-which is known as Ortahisar castle-and also provides kind of mummy museum that illustrates local living &scenes from late century.You can try shephard kebab but their olive oil based veggies are worth to try either.
Favorite Dish: fried cheese rolls , beans in olive oil and stuffed vine leaf.
Address: Ortahisar centre
Directions: Take a dolmus from goreme and get off by the ortahisar junction.10 minutes walk down to town centre

Safak Cafe & Restaurant: The best Corba (Soup)
We sat at the chairs & table in front of the Safak Cafe and the young guy approached us immediately, we're not really hungry so we ordered the lentil soup and a cola. Soup costs only TL5 It was really tasty along with the delicious bread. I guess that was the best corba we had in Goreme. Served by a mid-aged lady who maybe the cook or owner of the cafe/resto.
They also serve other dishes for lunch & dinner like kebab, gozleme and meatballs.
Favorite Dish: Lentil soup...the best!

Local Restaurants: Kebab et al...
I don't have this habit of remembering the names of retaurants where I enjoyed the food - not a good habit!
We wandered to the small town of Goreme and we found this local resto that serves kebab and other stuff. They have delicious food and the resto has a diplay of nice rugs and carpets, they're for sale if you happen to inquire.
There's also a fine dining resto called Alaturca, just in the middle of the town centre. Not hard to find, near the Blue Moon Hotel.
We did not eat out much as the weather was so cold at night and we prefer to take the food at the hotel (Travellers' Cave), simple but tastes really good.

Orient Restaurant: The menu is incredible
The food was exquisite, the service was superb, and the maitre D (I think he owns the place) was extremely courteous and funny. We ate in the inside dining room (once) and the veranda (twice). The decor and the atmosphere are enchanting. The wood oven adds warmth to the dining room and coupled with the owner artifacts give the place its own unique look.
Favorite Dish: I ate there 3 times during 1 week. Once I had the rack of lamb, moussaka, and the special dessert.
Once we shared a few dishes (tapas style): Sac Tava, Moussaka, Kofte Kebab, Samasos, Chicken Saute, Fried Calamar, the 3 of us drank a bottle of Cappadocian wine, and again shared the desserts Baklava, Cheese Plate and Yoghurt with Honey. The last time we ate at Orient, the maitre D chose our meal and again we shared the dishes, the Mezze was particularly memorable; we decided to have baklava for dessert.
Directions: Orient Restaurant is located in the entrance of Goreme and just 2 minutes walk from bus station. On the way to Rose Valley, past the Turkish bath.Related to:

This restaurant is near the end of the Ilhara Valley walk. The food was pretty standard fare, but it was cool to be able to eat at a table set in the middle of a river.

I would like to amend order quantities on received ordered before the order is invoiced.
For example, if a customer ordered 5 of a particular product but we only have 4 in stock, I would like to ship 4 units and invoice them for the 4 units only.
Is there a plugin that can do this?
