Introduction to Lattice Dynamics by Martin T. Dove
Book DescriptionThe vibrations of atoms inside crystals - lattice dynamics - is basic to many fields of study in the solid-state and mineral sciences. Lattice dynamics is becoming increasingly important for work on mineral stability. This book provides a self-contained text that introduces the subject from a basic level and then takes the reader through real applications of the theory. The book is aimed at advanced undergraduates, graduate students and research workers in the earth and solid-state sciences who need to incorporate lattice dynamic treatments into their work. Applications include the use of lattice dynamics instabilities to study the origin of phase transitions in crystals and the use of vibrational spectra to obtain information about inter-atomic forces.

Summary | Excerpt | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
Leonardo Padura's latest novel, Havana Fever, is a cold-case
investigation into the disappearance of a beautiful bolero singer forty-seven
years prior to current events. Padura does a wonderful job of crafting the
mystery. Clues are revealed gradually, building suspense and ultimately leading
the reader to its dark but satisfying conclusion. Purely as a mystery novel,
Havana Fever is top-notch and a terrific example of modern noir.
The real highlight of the book, though, is Padura's rich and evocative writing style. He brilliantly conjures up both the smoky nightclubs of Batista's Havana in the 1950s and the city's present poverty, comparing and contrasting the two different eras. Both are dark, gritty and rife with corruption. The modern scenes in particular are cloaked in an oppressive, unrelenting gloom that doesn't begin to lift until the book's final pages. ...
About the Author
Leonardo Padura was born in 1955 in Havana and lives in Cuba. He has published a number of short-story collections and literary essays but international fame came with the Havana Quartet, all featuring Inspector Mario Conde. Like many others of his generation, Padura had faced the question of leaving Cuba, particularly in the late 80s and early 90s, when living conditions deteriorated sharply as Russian aid evaporated. He chose to stay. And to write beautiful ironic novels in which Soviet-style socialism is condemned by implication through scenes of Havana life where even the police are savagely policed. The crime novels feed on the noises and smells of Havana, on the ability of its inhabitants to keep joking, to make love and music, to drink rum, and to survive through petty crime such as running clandestine bars and restaurants.
Padura's ...

Do Gentlemen Really Prefer Blondes? by Jena Pincott
Book DescriptionCosmopolitan meets Scientific American in this entertaining and informative question-and-answer book on human attraction. Based on the latest studies in science, Do Gentlemen Really Prefer Blondes? answers more than 100 wild, weird, and very pressing questions, including: -Why do some men smell better to you than others? -Are good dancers also good in bed? -Why are more women than men bisexual? -Can your genes make you adulterous? -What can you tell about your date by looking at his or her hands? -Why aren't there more male muses? -Why do blondes seem to attract the most attention from men? All of these questions have answers that are based in science, and author Jena Pincott explains the reasons for love and attraction, and to what extent our dating and mating lives are controlled by urges and instincts. Organized into three sections-Behaviors, Bodies, and Brains-Do Gentlemen Really Prefer Blondes? provides useful, funny, and accessible answers to these questions.

Sanchez faces axe as Fayed loses his patience
Lawrie Sanchez is facing the axe from Mohamed Al Fayed, with only victory against Newcastle United tomorrow likely to save his job.
The former Northern Ireland boss is coming under increasing pressure at Craven Cottage, just eight months after walking out on the international post to take over from Chris Coleman.
Fulham have won just two league games this season - both at home - and Sanchez is expected to be out of a job early next week unless they earn a win against Newcastle.
Harrods boss and Fulham owner Al Fayed is understood to have lost patience with Sanchez, who he handed a substatial transfer fund in the summer.
Just under than £10million of that was spent on Northern Ireland quartet Chris Baird, Aaron Hughes, Steve Davis and David Healy, who all performed so well for him in the international stage.
A further £6million went on striker Diomansy Kamara, but he has been a major flop and hasn't even come close to justifying that price tag.
With the January transfer window looming Sanchez is hoping to have more money to spend in order to stave off relegation, but with only goal difference separating them from the relegation zone, his 22nd game as a Premier League manager may be the last.
It is only just over a week ago that Newcastle manager Sam Allardyce was himself coming under intense pressure, but a home draw against Arsenal followed by victory against Birmingham City has lifted the mood at St James' Park.
If the Magpies boss follows up those results with victory at Fulham then Sanchez will be the next Premier League manager to get the boot rather than him.
Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate is the current bookies favourite to be next to go, with Sanchez second.

My wife and I were in Maui for our honeymoon and I had been taking lessons to get my private pilots license so I knew I had to find an opportunity to go up for a bird eye view of the islands. After just a bit of research I found Maui Aviators, called and set up a reservation, and they...
Flew with Eric....bomb island, lanai, molokini..this was my third flight with Maui Aviators. You can't beat the value compared to a helicopter tour. As with all my flights with Maui Aviators, this flight was amazing. Eric is an awesome guy, has a great sense of humor, and as good a pilot as anyone I've flown with........I would recommend taking a...
Eric is very knowledgeable, and a great guide. Excellent customer service! We had a great flight! Hope to make this an annual part of our Maui vacation!
One of the greatest flying experiences of my life with Eric Gilbert,CFI.,CFII of Maui Aviators. I have been flying for 35 years I contacted Maui Aviators at Kahului Airport and checked out a C172 with Eric for a scenic flight. Having a CFI along really helps with the workload in a new flying environment. What an amazing flight! Eric is...
I was on a family holiday in Kehei and I am a commercial pilot. Everyone knows that as a pilot all we want to do is fly whenever the opportunity arises. So I did some checking around online and called these guys. I opted instead of an actual checkout to go for an hour and a half flight with instructor...
As a low time Canadian pilot (150 hrs) visiting Maui I appreciated the guidance and support from Eric who flew along with me, managed the radios and provided guidance around the islands.
We experienced the spectacle of the Whale Birthing season from 500' above the water, flew over Maui, Molaki, Lanai and points between.

I have been a pilot for three years and it is always a bucket list item for me to try to take a local flight anytime I am on vacation. So I contacted Maui Aviators at Kahului Airport and checked out a C172 with Eric...
Met Eric for my BFR. They could start earlier than our scheduled time so they called to see if I could move things up. Worked out great and we were done in time for lunch in the little town of Paia. Great day, awesome service and got my BFR done in an awesome location!
My brother and I had a great flight with Eric Gilbert. The weather was beautiful and we were able to fly around 3 different islands in the hour and a half that we spent with him. He shared with us a great amount of his knowledge of the different places we flew and we really enjoyed it. Thank you!!!

Bradley has described the debates between Federalists and Antifederalists over the No Religious Test Clause and how, during the state ratifying conventions, inflated concerns of Catholic takeover led to fears that "one Protestant sect might gain national ascendancy and oblige [another Protestant sect] to conform to its ways." Bradley, "The No Religious Test Clause," 701 (emphasis added). Although equality among Protestant sects was the norm throughout the nation, that had only been the case in most states since 1776. The disestablishment of Anglicanism had stemmed from the colonials" resentment of the Episcopal Church, with its hierarchical ties to England. Ibid. Now, the newly-achieved sect-equality guaranteed by state constitutions and bills of rights, argued the Antifederalists, was in jeopardy of being nullified by a Congress that might re-impose Anglicanism by its power vested in the Supremacy Clause. Ibid., 701-12.

During the Civil War, Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase instructed the United States Mint in Philadelphia to prepare a new inscription for coins. Chase wrote, "no nation can be strong except in the strength of God, or safe except in His defense. The trust of our people in Cod should be declared on our national coins." See letter of Salmon P. Chase to James Pollock (9 December 1863), in R. Patterson and R.

After President Theodore Roosevelt ordered the motto removed in 1907--believing that stamping the motto on coins was sacrilegious and without legal warrant--the first mandatory requirement for the use of "In God We Trust" on some coins (e.g. pennies) was passed in 1908.

Read an Excerpt
Steven DeLong blinked. His stare alternated between the TV screen in front of him and the piece of paper in his hands. 03, 09, 25, 27, 28, 45. He'd chosen the same numbers he always had when he bought petrol and a Power Play Lottery ticket. He'd just never read them on the winning screen before.
Am I seeing things? He rubbed his eyes, noticing his hands were trembling, and looked back at the TV. The numbers hadn't changed. According to the announcer, he'd just won ninety-seven million dollars. Or possibly a share of the ninety-seven million, if someone else picked the same numbers. I'm not greedy. I can share. He giggled, sounding like a lunatic on crack, and forced himself to stop.
He'd read a semi-joking article online telling new lottery winners what to do when they first discovered they'd won. Don't tell anyone was the first rule. Stick the ticket into a resealable plastic bag and keep it safe was another. Proceed with a normal routine. Steven's heart beat so wildly, he wasn't sure that last one was even possible.
From a drawer in the kitchen, he withdrew a sandwich-sized bag and sealed the ticket inside. He placed the bag on his coffee table, unwilling to let it out of his sight. He sat on the floor, knees pulled tightly to his chest, in front of his sofa. Mind racing a million miles per hour, he hugged his legs and rocked back and forth.
Do I tell someone? There were very few people he'd choose to let in on the secret. The thought of telling his mother made him chuckle. She was an insanely religious woman. Gambling was a big no-no. But then again, so was being gay. Steven obviously hadn't done everything his mother's religion recommended.
Norma DeLong had wrestled with his sexual preference and finally accepted it. He doubted she'd have as big a struggle accepting the ninety-seven million dollars. They might have different views on how to spend it, though.
Note to self—telling Mother can wait.

Generals out of the VIJHL playoffs
There will be no game seven Sunday for the Oceanside Generals, as the local Jr. B hockey squad saw its season come to a disappointing end down-Island on Friday in a 3-2 loss to the Peninsula Panthers.
The Generals, who lost the first three games of the VIJHL first round best of seven playoff series, looked to have righted the ship with back to back wins, and went into Friday's game six fully expecting to bring the series home to Oceanside Place.
Peninsula opened the scoring just over five minutes into the game, and went up 2-0 with a power play marker at 11:51. Nathan Deyell (Taylor Gray, Dylan Haugen) scored with 89ght seconds left in the frame to cut it to 2-1 at the first intermission.
Another fast-paced game with lots of flow - there were only four penalties called on the night two on each team - the Panthers scored the only goal of the 2nd at 19:41 to go up 3-1, and Taylor Gray (Luciano Somerville) scored Oceanside's last goal of the 2011/2012 season at 16:37.
Oceanside outshot Peninsula 30-29 on the night with Panthers' starter Stephen Heslop winning the goaltenders duel and earning the game's first star.

Clostridium difficile is a bacterium that causes mild to severe diarrhea and intestinal conditions like inflammation of the colon. It is the most frequent cause of hospital acquired diarrhea.
Clostridium difficile spores persist for a long time in the environment. Transmission due to contaminated environmental sources and poor hand hygiene practices contribute to its spread within health care institutions. Public Health Ontario provides testing and a range of resources and services for the surveillance, prevention and control of Clostridium difficile infections.

A New Mexico paper has declared Barack Obama the next POTUS!
The New Mexico Sun News printed the headline "Obama Wins" in its election edition on stands today, with "Special Collectors Edition" printed in bold red type.
Seems the Sun News is a bimonthly newspaper and the Oct. 26-Nov. 8 issue had to hit the streets — and the newsstands — before the election.
So, based on the polls, the editors made a logical leap of faith and declared Democrat Barack Obama the winner.
Explaining their choice, the editors wrote, "When it comes to calling the winner of a presidential election, everyone wants to be first. The New Mexico Sun News hereby claims that achievement."
The alternative newspaper asks readers to get out and vote, "even if we did spoil the ending for you."
Maybe not. Remember that "Dewey Beats Truman" headline?
And that Florida hanging chad mess?
It ain't over yet. So everyone get out and vote on Tuesday!
Are you concerned that the media's blitz about Barack' Obamas lead may cause Democratic voters to get lazy and not go to the polls next Tuesday?

Project 3 examines adaptive changes in the metabolic support of contractile function subsequent to sarcomere remodeling. This project relates to the central theme of the program project, by investigating metabolic remodeling in hearts with altered myofilament sensitivity to Ca[2+], and the potential to reciprocally influence myofilament activity through altered metabolic signaling. The overall objective is to determine if myofilament modifications induce adaptive, maladaptive, and/or cardioprotective shifts in metabolic pathways. The work examines whether the pathophysiological stress induces reciprocal changes in both metabolic activity, through AMPK-linked shifts in competing modes of substrate oxidation for energy production, and contractile function, through resulting affects of acyl-derivatives on contractile function via phosphorylation of sarcomeric proteins. The primary hypothesis is that: Chemical modifications of the contractile/regulatory proteins, specifically within troponin and possibly the regulatory myosin light chain, influence metabolic phenotype which reciprocally effects sarcomere activity by altering the chemical environment of the cytosol. We propose three specific aims: 1) Determine the balance between fatty acid oxidation and storage in pressure overloaded, transgenic mouse hearts that express the fetal/neonatal isoform of troponin I, ssTnl, an apparent model of stress resistance, and test for attenuation of potentially maladaptive changes in oxidative metabolism that occur during pressure overload cardiac. 2) Elucidate alterations in the metabolic support of contractile function at baseline and during B-adrenergic stress, in mouse heart models of myofilament modifications that will or will not develop familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC), and also display altered AMPK activation 3) Determine the metabolic responses to rescue of hearts from TG mice with high Ca[2+] sensitivity and FHC, by crossing with a mouse heart model of desensitized myofilaments.
These aims will be accomplished though a unique approach, combining NMR determinations of metabolic flux and enzyme expression with experiments on myofilament function and proteomics. The experimental plan will enable study of the three-way link between metabolic flux, AMPK activation, and Ca[2+] sensitivity of the sarcomeres in the pathogenesis of cardiomyopathy.
The research investigates poorly understood mechanisms that may contribute to the development of heart failure. Specifically, results will define the changes in how the diseased heart muscle consumes and stores fuels, such carbohydrates and fats, in response to impaired cardiac function and the reciprocal effects of such metabolic changes on contraction of heart muscle.

Migraines and Cardiovascular
Aura symptoms like visual disturbances. They could be numbness of one side of the face or weakness. "I couldn't physically talk and that easy the worst migraine I had in my life," Hailey recalls about one migraine. Around twenty percent of those with migraines have aura. Now, new research shows they are an indicator of an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Dr. Richard Lipton, Director of the Montefiore Headache Center, says, "What is new about the Kirth study is that he demonstrated really for the first time that women who have migraine with aura really have a high risk of heart attack, angina, and a needing a procedure to treat their corroded arteries." Compared to those without migraine those with migraine and aura had a greater than 2.1 increased risk of serious cardiovascular disease and a greater than 2.3 percent increase risk of dying from it.
"In general migraine suffers are under served by the health care system. People aren't availing themselves to the benefits of current treatments we have available," Dr. Lipton says. So at very least, maybe now there's a serious enough reason for patients to go seek and get adequate medical care for a condition that appears to be more than just a pain it's a killer.
"I don't think this study should frighten woman who have migraine with aura but I do think the important thing is to address what ever risk factors for heart disease you have and those are things in reality that everyone should be doing anyways," states Dr. Lipton. "I take a low dose aspirin routinely everyday because I am aware of my increased risk for stroke but I also exercise routinely and now I am just trying to increase my cardiovascular output and generally eat a well balanced diet," says Hailey.
There is still a big question of what people should do about it…such as be more aggressive at considering a daily aspirin to protect the cardiovascular system. The data is not out yet on men, but it would make sense that if a man has migraine with aura, then yes, he would be at an increased risk for cardiovascular disease and death, especially because men at a younger age are at a higher risk of cardiac death than women.Disclaimer

The Republican presidential frontrunners have declined an invitation to be involved in a PBS debate on minority issues at a black college, to be hosted by Tavis Smiley. Earlier in the year, all but one GOP candidate declined a similar NAACP event. Ditto for a debate on a spanish language television channel. You can read the story here.
It has now become obvious what these men are doing, and I'd like to utter a string of curse words here at the cowardice they are displaying. I submit that if the Republican frontrunners are too afraid to air their views in front of what they perceive will be a hostile crowd (90% of black people vote Democrat, and PBS has a pronouned leftward lean), then THEY ARE NOT FIT TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. The president of the country represents ALL the people of the country, not just the ones it is politically convenient to represent. If they are afraid they will be asked some hard questions, well boo-hoo, then get out of the race. They are SUPPOSED TO BE ASKED HARD QUESTIONS. I had similar disdain for the Democratic candidates earlier this year when the Dems all passed on a debate because it was being hosted by conservative leaning Fox News. It looks to me like we have a bunch of spineless jellyfish wanting to become the leader of the free world and commander in chief. I have only one word in response: NO !
How about all you candidates grow a pair ? Okay, maybe not you Hillary, but the rest of you better man up. You all make me sick.

Microsoft Launches SQL Server 2016 for Hybrid Cloud Databases
The wait's over. Microsoft's cloud-enabled, analytics-friendly database is now generally available.As promised, and after a year of numerous preview releases, SQL Server 2016 is now generally available along with the customer support and software assurance benefits that come with hitting the milestone, announced Microsoft on June 1. SQL Server 2016 is the latest in a growing portfolio of "cloud-first" enterprise products from the Redmond, Wash., technology company. The software is equipped with hybrid cloud capabilities that enable businesses to stretch their database workloads into Azure, Microsoft's cloud computing platform. In addition to accommodating workloads that can put a strain on on-premises servers, the software's Stretch Database companion service can be used to slash data center storage costs. Customers can toss their warm and cold data onto "low-cost public cloud storage" provided by Azure, Mark Jewett, director of product marketing for Microsoft's Cloud Platform unit, told eWEEK back in March. Whether scaling database workloads to the cloud or using inexpensive cloud storage, SQL's hybrid cloud features are built-in and require little if any changes to applications or management workflows other than enabling the new functionality. SQL Server 2016 was also built with business analytics in mind, according to Joseph Sirosh, corporate vice president of Microsoft's Data group.
"It introduces a new paradigm where all joins, aggregations and machine learning are performed securely within the database itself without moving the data out, thereby enabling analytics on real-time transactions with great speed and parallelism," he explained in a June 1 announcement. "As a result, analytical applications can now be far simpler and need only query the database for analytic results."

text: Posted April 29, 2004 I must say I have never ever watched a film featuring Fred Astaire & Ginger Rodgers... On reading Balanchine's bio, I learned that he liked them a lot, and that his "Who cares?'" was somehow inspired on their style. Which of their movies would you recommend that I see (if they are still at all available somewhere)? thanks a lot silvy Share this post Link to post

Since we have had 9 days of rain in a row here,
figured I would check out the weather. We are going
for the record of 11 days, but looks like today will
be sunny, so that's out... which is FINE with me.
Although it looks like we are going to get a break
here, NE is going to get hit again... my heart goes
out to those folks.
And to those south/SE of me... watch out, they are
claiming you will be hit tonight.
So what are the plans of the weekend? Nothing
interesting here... but hoping it drys up today so I
can get some garden work done.
but we all know these weatherman lie... it was to be
sunny here yesterday, but then the storm and hail hit
mid day.... sigh.

I was wondering if there is some way that I can have my Arduino Duemilanove execute commands on my computer (which is running Ubuntu 8.04.1 amd64).
#!/usr/bin/perluse Device::SerialPort;my $port = Device::SerialPort->new("/dev/ttyUSB0");$port->databits(8);$port->baudrate(9600);$port->parity("none");$port->stopbits(1);$number_of_chars_to_read=1;$command0="mplayer video.ogv";$command1="mplayer aud.mp3";$time="1";while(my $code=$port->read($number_of_chars_to_read)){print "$code";system("$command0") if($code eq "a");system("$command1") if($code eq "b");}
void setup(){ Serial.begin(9600);}void loop(){// logic.........int char = 97;Serial.print(char);// prints the ASCII string "97" which is a lowercase "a". .........// logic}}
Button char lang Linux_or_Unix_cmd actionButton0 -> '0' -> high_level_lang -> system("$command0"); -> play video0Button1 -> '1' -> high_level_lang -> system("$command1"); -> play song0Button2 -> '2' -> high_level_lang -> system("$command2"); -> play song1Button3 -> '3' -> high_level_lang -> system("$command3"); -> play video1Button4 -> '4' -> high_level_lang -> system("$command4"); -> launch app0
Can't call method "xxxx" on an undefined value at ./trial001.pl line xx.
sudo apt-get install libdevice-serialport-perl
[...] one preliminary is to sort out exactly what commands you want to issue. That is independent of getting that command triggered somehow.If you can't do what you want from the Ubuntu command line, then I can't see how you can get it done from an external trigger.
