Being a key "historic monument " and Le Nôtre masterpiece with earlier contributions from de Serres, Molet and Regnard, the essential question for the Tuilleries project was not about reconstructing a Louis XIV garden but to recover the Tuilleries' dignity as the backdrop to so many important events as well as forming part of the architectural layering of the Louvre.
Here was an opportunity to establish a relationship with the Seine and the Musée d'Orsay, to solve the problem of inaccessibility to the river due to speeding traffic and to reinvest the waterside promenade with restaurant-pavilions. The Orsay footbridge would arrive directly at the Waterside Terrace amid 19th century bronzes with an enhanced view back to Left Bank.
Amid 17th century statues and Le Nôtre's dominant geometry and perfect horizontality, we proposed installations with landscapers and contemporary artists for various themes, for example The Grotto : underground access to the riverbank as a large, cool room, open to the Seine with a fountain – a relationship of water, meditation, shelter from heat or rain. The precise positioning of these interventions adheres to the 17th century coherence of the garden without fixing it and the events are immediately conceived as contemporary.
For the gardens to be truly part of Parisian life, they need to be alive by night as well as day, inciting visitors through scenographic lighting of the grounds and statues, lights from the kiosks in the central alleys and brasserie-bars on the Waterside Terrace, and a continuation of the luminous axis running from the Champs Elysées.
Specific improvements would include the puppet-theatre, wooden horses, swings, kiosks and furniture. Areas would be designated for a kind of open-air gym, an ice-skating alley and a huge, ultra-light glass umbrella to protect children's play from the rain.

Taipei (AFP) May 31, 2010
Taiwan's Asustek unveiled a new tablet device Monday combining an e-notepad and e-book reader as Taipei prepares to host Asia's biggest information technology trade fair.
With prices starting at 199 US dollars, the Eee Tablet "allows users to write on the screen just the way people write on their notebooks," a company spokesman told a news conference.
It also "features the functions of more powerful than general electronic books," he said ahead of Computex Taipei, which opens Tuesday.
Users will be able to turn a page as if reading a book and take a picture of handwritten text using a built-in camera before transforming it into a digital note. The device will hit stores in September.
And just days after Apple launched the much-anticipated iPad globally, Asustek also revealed the Eee Pad, which runs on Microsoft's Windows 7 and comes with a 10-inch or a 12-inch screen.
It expects the gadget to be available from the first quarter of next year, at up to 449 US dollars.
More than 1,700 exhibitors are taking part in the five-day Computex Taipei, featuring 4,861 booths and expected to greet around 120,000 visitors, including 35,000 international buyers, organisers say.
They expect the fair to generate around 20 billion US dollars in business.

1. Re: liveupgrade via hw raid T5240FilipFrancis-Exitas Apr 20, 2012 10:44 AM (in response to Jaroslav Karoli)Hi there,
From my experience HW and breaking the mirror you loose all data.
Is there is slice big enogh you can use on the same disk?
or on an other disk that is outside this HW volume.
The last time i did it was upgrading the server vial live upgrade to an other slice on a different volume.
Then boot from that slice .
destroy the hw volume where the system was running. Then create a 3 way mirror to the 2 boot disks after the sync detach the current boot disk and reboot
Then reboot the server to make sure it boots from those disks.
Hope this helps
2. Re: liveupgrade via hw raid T5240Jaroslav Karoli Apr 21, 2012 12:17 PM (in response to FilipFrancis-Exitas)As I sad, there is very bad configuration, from jumpstart configuration which I saw, there was small volume /var, swap and rest was dedicated to /. If there is way to shrink this slice (I know there is no way in UFS), it will be possible. Also we have only 2 disk configuration, so it means I see only one volume c1t0d0.
I'm just asking if there is some, non documented method to split this mirror because I also see this recommendetation.
Maybe there is possibility to personaly meet this server, detach for 2nd disk and connect it to 3.rd slot, we will became one way mirror and also, we will be able to see new disk (I hope), and this new disk we can use for live upgrade, after liveupgrade and everything working, destroy hw mirroring and create zfs mirror.
Another possiblity is use of SAN, but I'm not sure if we have FC card on all server in environment.
it looks this will be hard solution :(.

Diabetes Amputations
January 26, 2012 by staff
Diabetes Amputations, There has been a dramatic drop in the rate of diabetes-related amputations in the U.S., and experts attribute the improvement to better management of risk factors that lead to the loss of feet and legs.
The amputation rate declined by 65% among adults with diabetes in a little over a decade, the CDC reports.
Foot and leg amputations occurred in 4 out of every 1,000 adults with diabetes in 2008, compared to 11 out of every 1,000 in 1996, the CDC reports.
Non-injury-related amputation rates were still eight times higher among those with diabetes than adults without the disease.
Nevertheless, the decline shows that efforts to reduce the complications of diabetes are having a major impact, says American Diabetes Association President of Medicine and Science Vivian Fonseca, MD.
"This is very encouraging and important news for people with diabetes," he says. "The decline confirms the tremendous progress we have made in translating research into practice."

School Values • Admissions • Community Involvement • Fantastic Results 2013-14 • Safeguarding
New Hinksey School is a small, friendly community school located at the end of Vicarage Road, off the Abingdon Road. There are approximately 170 children on roll, aged from 3 to 11 years.
Our school was founded over one hundred years ago by the parish church of St John the Evangelist, and we are now a Voluntary Controlled school, staffed and maintained by Oxfordshire County Council in partnership with the Diocese of Oxford (Church of England).
Further information is available on this website.
New Hinksey Primary is a diverse primary school within the city of Oxford. We are welcoming and inclusive, serving our South Oxford community by providing an education of the highest quality, in accordance with Christian principles and the values that inform and underpin British society, in particular those of democracy, individual liberty, kindness and tolerance, equality of opportunity, freedom of speech and respect for law and order.
Our children come from many different backgrounds, and all are encouraged to explore the meaning of faith, spiritual growth, and religious observance in an atmosphere of tolerance and mutual respect.
Many different languages are spoken in the homes of our children, and their families have links with diverse parts of the world. Celebrating our multi-faith and multi-cultural nature is an important part of our school's identity. The school motto, 'Each one of us is special', expresses our commitment to nurturing pupils in an atmosphere of equal opportunity for all.
The school's relatively small size enables staff to know all the children in the school by name, and each child is valued as an individual with a unique contribution to make. We believe that children learn best when home and school work in creative partnership, and so we seek to involve parents, carers, and families in all facets of school life.
Parents and carers are always welcome in our school.
We are very pleased with the outcome of our recent Ofsted inspection. We hope you enjoy reading about the school's strengths, and celebrating with your children the many wonderful and positive comments about the children who are, after all, the very reason we are here.
We would like to thank everyone in our school community – parents and families, governors and local friends of the school - for their great support and friendship to the school.
Read the 2015 Ofsted report on New Hinksey CE Primary School here
We are a small multicultural school with a strong nurturing ethos. We have a Foundation Stage attached to the school. Parents need to apply to the local authority for a school place so that their children can start in the September after their 4th birthday. This school place is then theirs for the whole primary age range until they leave the school at the end of Year 6 – aged 11.
For more information visit www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/admissions
However, the school deals with admissions to the year before starting school. We have places for 13 part-time (mornings) children in their F2/nursery year. That is, children who are 3 years old by 1 September. This is a free entitlement. The entry point for those 3 years old by 1 September is usually at the start of the September term, but can be January or April if there are still places available. We recommend a September start to gain maximum benefit from the learning opportunities provided. We do not have places for children who turn 3 years during the school year until the following September.
Examples of the school's involvement in the local community include:
The safety and wellbeing of all our pupils is given the highest importance by all school staff. The school follows local and national guidance to protect children in our care from any form of abuse. All staff receive regular training in this area. The school reports annually on safeguarding to the Governing Body and to the Local Authority. A copy of the school's Safeguarding Policy is available from the policies section of this website or, upon request, from the school office.

Talk to baby's pediatrician first...
Unless your baby's pediatrician has prescribe it, I'd say no. Baby's belly is not ready for anything other than milk.
Yep, I would wait. The baby could be going through a growth spurt and may just need a few days of extra bottles/nursings.
Total agreement here too. An 8 week old is not ready for anything but formula or breast milk. Always make an appointment with your pediatrician and talk things over before changing a babies diet.
Great advice Lorraine Molina! It's generally not recommended at that age.

Help me with a Canadian debate
I'm having a discussion of sorts with a person on a different forum about gun ownership. She is very happy that Toronto (Canada) doesn't have people walking around with guns and claims Toronto has a very low crime rate because of it. I did a preliminary look up and it seems they do have a pretty low crime rate.
But, I know lack of gun ownership does not = lower crime. So, I'm really not sure what the correlation is there.
I notice that Labrador and Newfoundland have a very high rate of gun ownership and their crime rates are low, too.
I'm not a very good arguer. Does anyone have a good place for statistics regarding the Canadian gun control situation?
While I try to post correct answers or reply with some knowledge or meaningful response, in this case I can only say don't waste your time.
If you just have to, I would not rely on stats, but ask the simple question, what are cops for and what do they do?
Answer: uphold and enforce the law and protect citizens and themselves, where possible, with professional knowledge and skills.
In having and carrying a firearm, that is what I am doing.
Fear Fueling Gun Violence - Toronto Sun newspaper
Toronto struggles with rising gun violence
Staring down the barrel - CBC Toronto
Toronto's battle against gun violence and gangs
Google "gun violence" and toronto and you'll find a bunch more articles.
My brother lives in Toronto and we visit him often. 30 years ago, it was far safer than it is today. Gangs today are a huge problem there, and oddly enough they don't seem to worry about Ontario's gun control laws.
My sister-in-law is under the impression American cities are horrifically dangerous but that Toronto is safe. The fact is, there's no discernible difference anymore between that city and most American cities.
Lack of criminals lowers crime. Lack of law-abiding gun owners attracts criminals. Do the math.
I have to ask what is a low crime rate? Compared to where?
Also keep in mind that Canada has also decriminalized certain things that are still illegal here in the states, and that will account for some reduced crime rates.
But, you will never win an arguement with anti-gunners. You can provide stats until you are exhausted, and they will still blame guns for crimes. Ask this person if they feel safe enough to walk through the whole city of Toronto at 3 am alone. A truthful answer will be no. Then ask them if they would feel safer if walking along side an armed police officer at the same time of morning. A truthful answer will be yes.
I would be terrified to walk the streets in Toronto- drunk drivers. With all those cars, there must be drunk drivers.
Please note, the above IS hyperbole- just as is equating gun ownership with criminal acts. MOST cars are not driven by drunks, and MOST guns are not used by criminals.
However, you have a language barrier problem to deal with here. You are talking sense, and she is not. Let me know how that works out for ya. :rolleyes:
I've decided to let it go. She also claimed that she felt it was best to give a criminal whatever they wanted and just pick yourself up and get over it. :eek: Err, can't do that if you're dead. :rolleyes: I was really kind of shocked that anyone thought that way - and later, I figured her own comment did her in enough without me pursuing it further.
Switzerland has a low crime rate and there is an automatic weapon in almost every home. Mexico has a high crime rate and they have very strong gun control. England had low crime rates at one time now that they have strong gun control there crime rates are also up. The stats on England are easy to find. Crime rates have been going down over the years as gun ownership and CC has been going up in the US.
When she is the victim of crime, she may well rethink her position (presuming she survives). :rolleyes:

Well, this sure is good news for fans of zombie western comedies everywhere.
A few weeks back we did a story about how Glasgow Phillip's Undead or Alive: A Zombedy might be left floating for a while ("Undead or Alive Dead?" – August 2007). Today Daily Variety got word that, in fact, the film is one of the first Image Entertainment has picked up the distribution rights for!
Image has plans to release Undead or Alive on DVD in December, apparently dropping the A Zomedy subtitle, though the original intention of the acquisition was to put it in theaters. Why they decided to bypass that all together likely had something to do with the fact that it's a zombie western comedy with Chris Katan and the marketing alone would be a nightmare.
They did pick up a romcom, the Sarah Michelle Gellar vehicle Suburban Girl, and are considering theatrical for that, but this is just the first step on a much broader plan to get movies in theaters with the Image name attached. Why I'm not sure, since it seems like a huge sinkhole of money in this day and age, but I won't question it if more good horror gets the big screen treatment.
Keep it here for the Undead or Alive disc details as the roll in! For now, click here for my interview with director Glasgow Phillips about the movie and head on over to Image's official page for the film to check out its trailer!

Dare to Dream is an outstanding organization with a true heart for changing the lives of troubled youth for the better. A cadre of dedicated volunteers under the guidance of founder Jan Tennyson give countless hours each week to bring a positive message of hope for a more productive life to these youth who are caught up in the restorative justice system.
I have seen first hand the wonderful work that Dare To Dream does for children. Young people need to know that they are loved and are important. Dare To Dream provides mentoring and support for some of our most vulnerable children in a positive and meaningful way.
Dare to Dream is an awesome organization that has, for many years, reached out to not only disadvantaged and disenfranchised children but adults as well. DTD has a long track record of proven success ministering to those cast aside by our society. Jan Tennyson has been a tireless worker for the rehabilitation of children and is a seasoned veteran of working not only with other ministries, but government entities as well, bringing hope and help to many who would otherwise have none.
I have had the opportunity to serve with Jan and her Dare to Dream team of volunteers when they visit the Juvenile Detention Center in Dallas. Jan is committed to making a difference in the lives of youth and she makes sure that her volunteers are as committed. That's leadership by example if I've ever seen it. There is no doubt in my mind that she is changing the lives of children and the adults (volunteers) who serve them.
Participating in Dare to Dream Events and volunteering were some if the most meaningful and fulfilling times. I love Jan because she truly has a heart and love for what she does and the children to whom she ministers.
I've worked as a volunteer with Jan, who has such a heart for the children and their lives. She genuinely cares about them reminds them of their individual value and what purposes God has for them. This kind of heart and care is so beautiful and so infectious! I got the privledge to work at Casa Shelter and Marzelle as well as a mission trip to Romania. What an amazing organization! Dare to Dream is special foundation with a great mission to empower our young people!
Previous Stories
Dare To Dream is an amazing organization led by a remarkable friend, Jan Tennyson. Her heart and passion to encourage children in their lives is infectious! Jan invited me to come and give of my time back in 1997. I had volunteered with some great people and I have seen kids eyes light up with the good news of Christ - and to see that is a just priceless! I've seen hearts and lives transformed because of all that Dare to Dream does for kids. It truly encourages and inspires children to Dream Big with Gods truth of love alongside them.
I was a volunteer for Dare to Dream some years ago. I had the opportunity to share my testimony and experiences during several visits to a juvenile prison in Dallas, Texas. It touch my heart to see so many young lives impacted by crime and the lack of positive role models in their lives. The teenagers in this juvenile prison need to hear a message of hope and forgiveness; Dare the Dream served as a venue to help reach out to these kids with love and compassion. It was an honor to work along side with Dare to Dream on this initiative.
My wife, Anita, and I have volunteered with Jan Tennyson and Dare to Dream for years. Most recently, we help with their outreach to youth in detention. Every time we go, we see kids make decisions to follow Jesus. The practical and spiritual emphasis of this organization is truly changing the lives of young people. Being a part of this is one of the most rewarding experiences Anita and I have had. ...Paul and Anita Kerr

Paul & Anita - you are such a blessing. Thank you for volunteering with Dare to Dream and for your heart for our young people. Jan Tennyson
I am always amazed by the continuing effect that Dare To Dream foundation has on the lives of young people. Jan Tennyson and her volunteers have given hope to 1,000's of young people in sharing how Jesus has impacted their own lives.
I have known Jan Tennyson, founder of Dare to Dream, for many years. I have experienced the DTD impact as both a volunteer at the office and at their outreaches in various youth detention centers.
When DTD volunteers share their message of hope, encouragement and God's love, it is not only life changing for the youth, it is life changing for all the volunteers who participate! I have witnessed the tears of boys from 16-19 who are so moved just because some people they don't even know have taken time to show they really care about them. Dare to Dream is a wonderful organization that is well run and inspires "at risk" youth to know that they are valuable and can rise above their circumstances to be all that God created them to be. I am proud to be associated with such a great organization. Thank you Jan for Dare to Dream.
Linda D.
Dare to Dream Children's Foundation continues to advance God's kingdom by introducing Jesus Christ to disadvantage youth that are struggling to managing their lives in today's hectic world. By doing so under the direction and leadership of Jan Tennyson, Dare to Dream Children's Foundation is creating tomorrows leaders that will lead their families, communities, businesses, and most important, the Church of Jesus Christ. This organization is one of integrity and purpose, and has been recognized by leaders in the community as a nonprofit that truly impacts our society for the greater good.

About Jason MulliganJason Mulligan was elected a member of the Royal British Society of Sculptors in 2008. He has been involved in the carving and installation of a wide variety of public art projects across Ireland, Italy, India and the U.K. His first trip to Carrara in Italy was in 1996, assisting the sculptor Paul Mason. The impression he left with regarding stone carving has stayed with him ever since and the process of carving and the use of stone as a material has remained a necessary grounding in his search for form. For the last 10 years Jason has successfully delivered high-quality artworks for both the public and private sector; artworks that continue to explore his understanding of stone while also being informative and meditative for the viewer.

Biography / CV of Jason MulliganJason Mulligan is a sculptor from N.Ireland and has been based in England since 1992. He became an elected member of the Royal British Society of Sculptors in 2008.
Jason Mulligan studied Fine Art Sculpture at the University of Northumbria at Newcastle Upon Tyne after long deliberation about wanting to become an archeologist! It was no surprise to him that he ended up being drawn into the sculpture department, where the feel of stone and the wonders of geology awaited him.
In 1994 he was fortunate to meet and work with the Japanese stone carver and �Henry Moore Fellow�, Hideo Furuta who was based at the University. This was an influential and educational time for Jason regarding the process of stone carving as well as underpinning his philosophy towards his work, which relies heavily on references to nature and our human experience.
His first trip to Carrara in Italy was in 1996 assisting the sculptor Paul Mason on a private commission. He then returned to England and began an intensive period of five years working as a sculptors� assistant for the artist Hamish Horsley. It was here he had the opportunity to be involved in the carving and installation of a wide variety of public art projects across the U.K. such as `The Tibetan Peace Garden`, London, opened in 1999 by his holiness the Dalai Lama.
Jason Mulligan�s work is in private collections in France, Norway, Ireland and around the UK. He has successfully delivered high-quality artworks for both the public and private sector; artworks that continue to explore his understanding of stone while also being informative and meditative for the viewer.
Jason continues to work as a stone sculptor based on the appropriately named Quarry Farm in Kent, UK.
Artist Statement of Jason MulliganJason Mulligan`s Personal Statement
For me carving allows for the exploration of abstract geometries found within the landscape. These essential structures continue to influence and inform my ideas. This relationship between form and the surface of a sculpture is often worked using texture and colour to add a further layer of information to each sculpture. Issues that currently motivate me within my work deal with the hidden landscapes, histories, actions and characters that can charge an environment.

Finding the measure of an individual interior angle in any regular polygon
When finding the measure of an interior angle in any regular n-gon (n means any number), triangles are very helpful. As you can see in the left most diagram, a regular pentagon has been split into 3 triangles so 5-2=3 or n-2. In the regular hexagon on he right there are 4 triangles 6-2=4 or n-2. So to find the number of triangles is easy, it's n-2.
Hopefully you already know that the area of a triangle is 180 and since each corner of the triangle is a vertice in the polygon, we no that the sum of all interrior angles in the regular n-gon is the number of triangles x 180 so the number of triangles is (n-2) and so our forumla so far is 180(n-2)
Since we know that in any regular n-gon, all angles are the same measure, we can just divide the sum of all angles by the number of angles. So our final forumla to find the measure of any angle in a regular n-gon is 180(n-2)/n

Team Camps
Innovative Team Camp Format
While traditional preseason clinics and mini camps provide limited instruction on isolated techniques, our Weekend Warrior Team Camp is highly organized to focus on the skills and techniques that must be perfected for the upcoming season. In addition to the highly systematic technical progression, our Weekend Warrior Camps offer every member of your team an entire daily session dedicated to live wrestling, intense drilling, and serious training. We provide our campers with the opportunity to wrestle numerous matches of varying lengths while also including many "live situations". This variety helps maintain a high level of intensity while reinforcing and perfecting the techniques presented in our instructional sessions. We spend a great deal of time planning each weekend in order to provide the skill development and training that is most appropriate for that time in the pre season or early season cycle. Coaches who bring their teams to our Weekend Warrior camps consistently remark how productive and beneficial the sessions have been in the preparation of their teams for the upcoming season.
Attention Coaches:
Attend any weekend and your team will learn the techniques, drilling methods, and intensity that it takes to become a champion! We encourage you to attend camp with your team and see first hand how we will prepare your athletes for the start of the season. We offer coaching sessions with Ken and our staff, covering a wide variety of training methods and coaching techniques. Ken and our dedicated staff are available all weekend for questions and valuable personal feedback. We offer very generous group discounts and can arrange to have you or another adult attend camp with the team at no charge. We offer small group instruction at Weekend Warrior camps specifically designed for all ages and skill levels.
We offer the following substantial early enrollment group discounts for non-summer campers:
4+ wrestlers = $25 discount per wrestler
8+ wrestlers = $50 discount per wrestler
For everyone in a group to receive the discount, all applications must be sent in together at least two weeks before camp begins.
Even though 2016 summer campers do not receive the group discount because they already receive the 2016 summer camper discount, they can count towards the group total numbers.
If you have any questions, need more information, and/or to get your group enrolled, you can email:
or call: 814-466-3466.

This summary table contains detailed information about research studies. Summary tables offer an informative look at the science behind many breast cancer guidelines and recommendations. However, they should be viewed with some caution. In order to read and interpret research tables successfully, it is important to understand some key concepts. Learn how to read a research table.
Introduction: Tumor size is related to breast cancer recurrence and survival.
Data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program – which collects cancer data in the U.S. – clearly show as tumor size increases, breast cancer survival decreases.
Study selection criteria: Most recent SEER data on tumor size and breast cancer survival by lymph node status (whether or not the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes).
Table note: Relative survival compares survival rates (over a certain period of time) for women with breast cancer versus women in the general population.
For example:
Relative survival rates are averages though and vary depending on each person's diagnosis and treatment.

The Brad Johnson era is over in Dallas.
The Cowboys released the veteran backup QB after two seasons with the team. Johnson started three games last season in relief of an injured Tony Romo. He went 1-2 in those game and threw five interceptions and two touchdowns.
Johnson, 40, won Super Bowl XXXVII as the starting QB of the Buccaneers.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said earlier this week upgrading his backup QB position is a priority for the offseason.
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State.

Annoyingly explosive hoverboards may become a thing of the past if a Stanford-designed solution takes off.
Their idea? Stop the device from overheating in the first place.
Shutting down the explosion-causing lithium battery before it overheats, gets volatile, and becomes a fire hazard could be the best solution, researchers at the university think.
Lithium batteries, of the kind found in smartphones, tablets, Boeing 787 Dreamliners, and the controversial two-wheeled scooters often called "hoverboards," can be volatile.
It's an unfortunate bi-product of energy—it explodes from time to time. After all, it's energy. That's what you got.
Mostly, as is the case in the smartphone and the now-corrected 787s, the technology can be tamed through the use of regulated charging, hard individual-cell containers, and special internal circuits to prevent uneven power distribution within the battery. Careful manufacturing helps, too.
'Thin seperators'
However, if the battery's "thin separators" get damaged in use, or are faulty to begin with, all bets are off, the Economist says in an explainer.
One gets a manifestation scarily described as "thermal runaway." The thing just keeps getting hotter until it catches fire or explodes.
"Lithium batteries can also be damaged by using them in hot environments, and by excessive discharging and charging—which is why most lithium batteries contain special circuits to prevent this," the Economist says. "Catching fire if something goes wrong, then, is in their nature."
A lot of hoverboard owners can attest to this.
Nomex bags
Solutions employed for years by lithium polymer battery users in the radio-controlled arena, such as in hobbyist drone building, have included storing and charging the batteries within fireproof bags.
The material is DuPont's Nomex, the stuff fire-fighter suits are made from. It doesn't catch fire. The Velcro-sealed bag contains the volatility in the event of a problem.
Digital charging
Another solution, often used in conjunction, is sophisticated digital charging, where each lithium polymer cell in the battery pack is balanced to equal voltage to the others.
Hobbyists can monitor the charging in real time too, and watch for anomalies displayed on a digital readout that can indicate a failed, and potentially problematic, lithium battery. They then discharge and discard it.
Stanford's solution is to simply shut the lithium ion battery down before it overheats.
The scientists have developed a thin film made from polyethylene and have embedded it "with nanoparticles of graphene-coated nickel."
That mixture detects overheating and shuts the battery down. Importantly, it does it without killing it. The battery can then be re-used, unlike with other shut-down techniques, such as adding flame-retardant material to the electrodes within the battery.
"We attached the polyethylene film to one of the battery electrodes so that an electric current could flow through it," says Zheng Chen, lead author of the study, on Stanford's website.
"To conduct electricity, spiky particles have to physically touch one another. But during thermal expansion, polyethylene stretches. That causes the particles to spread apart, making the film nonconductive so that electricity can no longer flow through the battery," Chen says.
"If the temperature reaches about 150 degrees Celsius, the electrolyte could catch fire and trigger an explosion," Stanford says on its website.
When the lithium-ion battery gets above 70 degrees Celsius, the film expands; when it drops below that, the polyethylene and graphene shrinks back and allows power to flow again.
The question one might ask, of course, is whether you actually want the lithium battery to automatically restart if it has a problem.

The KRK12sHO powered subwoofer is the perfect High Output choice for professional studios, where ultra-accurate bass extension and maximum sound levels are required. Powered by a massive 400 watt amplifier and a strengthened version of our signature Kevlar woofer, the KRK12sHO is the no-compromise way to hear what is happening in the depths of your mix. Subwoofers allow you to use smaller main monitors, make it possible to monitor the essential low frequency range and can be a great solution for space-challenged control rooms or mixing environments.
While subsonic frequencies are heavily implemented in some musical genres, all studios benefit from the use of a sub to monitor this low frequency content. With the prevalent use of home theater systems, as well as commercial systems in clubs and cinemas - production studios require the capability to identify and correct problems such as unwanted low frequency components, exterior noise, microphone rumble and vibrations. The increase of home and project mastering means many potentially great pieces of music are being poorly represented when played back on a larger system. When dealing with subsonic frequencies if they cannot be heard accurately they cannot be mixed accurately.
Having an incredibly capable subwoofer is critical when it is combined with powerful near-field monitors, such as the Exposé or a VXT8 driven to high sound pressure levels. In a stereo configuration the subwoofer will have to produce the bass that would normally be generated by the monitors -- that alone can exceed the headroom of an ordinary sub. In a surround sound configuration the subwoofer has to reproduce all of the low-frequency information from five or more channels as well as the demanding bass content of the LFE channel. These challenging applications can place demands far exceeding the capabilities of normal low frequency drivers and power amplifiers. This is where the performance of the KRK12sHO shines.

Candidates for the 2008 congressional races have until Sunday to meet deadline to file reports to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) detailing campaign finance activity through June 30, the end of the year's second quarter. But a number of candidates are beating the clock, and CQPolitics.com this week is providing roundups of some of these early money numbers.
The following listing, compiled Wednesday, is not meant to be comprehensive. Candidates and their campaign committees who want to bring their second-quarter figures to our (and potentially our readers') attention are invited to contact CQPolitics.com at email@example.com.
• Kansas' 2nd District. Republican Jim Ryun, a former five-term House member who lost to Democrat Nancy Boyda in 2006, reported raising more than $350,000 in the past three months for his comeback effort in the 2nd District, which includes Topeka and has a Republican lean. Ryun will be opposed in the Republican primary, though, by state Treasurer Lynn Jenkins.
• Maryland's 1st District. Republican state Sen. Andrew Harris reported raising $179,000 for his primary challenge to nine-term Rep. Wayne T. Gilchrest in a Republican-leaning district that includes the state's Eastern Shore region. This will be the latest in a series of conservative challenges to Gilchrest, one of the most centrist House Republicans.
Harris is an anesthesiologist, and he received $10,000 from the Illinois-based American Society of Anesthesiologists PAC — as well as contributions from other political committees of medical associations and from individuals in the medical profession.
Harris also received contributions from some political committees affiliated with Maryland state legislators — including state Sen. Richard F. Colburn, who took 38 percent of the vote in a 2004 primary challenge to Gilchrest.
CQPolitics.com reported Tuesday that Gilchrest this year has sided with House Democrats against House Republicans more frequently than any other GOP member so far this year. Gilchrest sided with the Republican position 52 percent of the time on such votes.
• North Carolina's 8th District. Democrat Larry Kissell, whose underfunded challenge to Republican Rep. Robin Hayes fell short by just 329 votes last November, said that he had raised about $140,000 and banked about $100,000 for his rematch campaign in a district that includes parts of Charlotte and Fayetteville.
Kissell is getting a much earlier start than in the 2006 campaign cycle; for that contest, Kissell filed candidacy paperwork in November 2005 — just one year before the election. Kissell filed a new statement of candidacy in March 2007, more than a year and a half before the 2008 election.
Democrat John Autry, whom Kissell decisively defeated in the 2006 primary, also has filed candidacy paperwork for next year's race.
• Michigan's 7th. Democrat Jim Berryman, a former state senator who has signed on to challenge first-term Republican Rep. Tim Walberg in Michigan's 7th District, raised $50,000 for the second quarter and has nearly all of it on hand as of July 1, according to his filing with the FEC.
Berryman's take is significantly less than that of fellow Democrat David Nacht, a lawyer who announced Monday he had raised $161,000 for the quarter and had $129,000 on hand.
• Arizona's 6th District. Four-term Republican Rep. Jeff Flake — a leading scourge of congressional spending earmarks — raised $217,000 in the April-through-June period, his filings with the FEC indicate, significantly more than the $53,000 he raised during the same period last election cycle. Flake, who represents the southeast suburbs of Phoenix, had $581,000 on hand as of July 1.
Flake's seat is not considered particularly competitive — he won the past two elections with more than 70 percent of the vote.
• New York's 26th District. Republican Rep. Tom Reynolds — a five-term incumbent who chaired the party's House campaign committee during the 2006 election cycle, in which the Democrats gained a majority in the chamber — raised $292,000 for his 2008 re-election effort, according to his filings with the FEC. Reynolds had $586,000 on hand as of July 1.
Already lined up to challenge Reynolds for the western New York seat is Democrat Jon Powers, an Iraq war veteran who announced Wednesday he raised $112,000 between June 1 — the date he filed as a candidate — and June 30.
Reynolds faced the toughest re-election campaign of his career in 2006, but prevailed over Democrat Jack Davis by 52 percent to 48 percent.
• California's 26th District. Democrat Hoyt Hilsman loaned his campaign $100,000 in his quest to topple 14-term Republican Rep. David Dreier. Hilsman, director of a nonprofit organization promoting equality of opportunity and economic growth, raised an additional $60,000 and had $150,000 on hand as of June 30.
It is not certain, though, that it will be Hilsman who faces the powerful incumbent, who is the ranking Republican and former chairman of the House Rules Committee. Hilsman faces a primary against at least two Democratic competitors.
• Washington's 2nd District. After losing by 28 percentage points to Democratic Rep. Rick Larsen in 2006, Republican Doug Roulstone begins his rematch campaign in a less than desirable financial position. Roulstone, a retired Navy officer, loaned his campaign $10,000 for a total of just $46,000 raised and $37,000 on hand as of June 30.
Roulstone lost by 64 percent to 36 percent last fall despite national Republican Party interest in the race. Roulstone's military background was viewed as a potential advantage in a district that contains a Navy base and Naval air station.

The meetings will take place in London on July 8, Boston, Los Angeles and Lima on July 11, and New York and Santiago on July 12. Proceeds from the sale will help finance a tender on Credito Real's 7.5% 2019s, on which the company has US$425m outstanding, according to Thomson Reuters data. Argentina's Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires has hired Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan as joint bookrunners and Standard Chartered as lead manager to arrange a series of meetings with fixed-income investors ahead of a potential 144A/Reg S US dollar-denominated Basel III compliant Tier 2 bond issue.

The notes will be secured by a percentage of hydrocarbon royalties to be paid by the Argentine branch of Pan American Energy to the Province, the rating agency said. The notes, which will be issued under New York law, will start amortizing in 24 quarterly instalments after a grace period of four years. The Province has the legal capacity to increase or reopen the issue size up to US$650m. Chubut plans to use half of the proceeds from the sale to refinance existing debt and the remainder to fund infrastructure work.

The borrower is seeking to raise 10-year money and has mandated Citigroup and Deutsche on the deal. The announcement comes after Pampa Energia agreed earlier this year to purchase a 67.2% stake in Petrobras Argentina for US$892m. Petrobras Argentina's is rated B3 by Moody's. Argentine power company Pampa Energia will also hire four banks to lead a new international bond sale that will refinance debt taken out to fund its acquisition of Petrobras's Argentine assets. The company plans to hire Deutsche Bank, Citigroup, ICBC and Banco Galicia to lead the bond sale, which will refinance a US$700m bridge loan extended by the same lenders, Pampa chairman Marcelo Mindlin told IFR. Mexican real-estate developer Grupo GICSA has finished investor meetings through JP Morgan and Santander. The company has been marketing a US dollar bond, which is expected to be rated BB/BB-.

More June 4 books at libraries
Hong Kong Public Libraries has ordered 250 more copies of books relating to the June 4, 1989, crackdown. The titles include Prisoner of the State: The Secret Journal of Zhao Ziyang, published last month as late Communist Party leader Zhao Ziyang's memoirs in English and Chinese. As of Wednesday last week, the libraries had 1,162 copies of 149 titles on the Tiananmen incident.
Four Greenpeace protesters appeared in Eastern Court yesterday to face charges of public nuisance and trespassing on public land. The protesters unfurled a seven-storey-high banner at government headquarters in Central on Tuesday calling for official action on climate change. Three protesters pleaded guilty and were fined HK$3,000. The fourth defendant, Edward Chan Yue-fai, did not enter a plea, pending legal advice, and will appear again on July 15.
Measure helps city's taxpayers
About 835,000 people do not need to pay any salaries tax after the Legislative Council passed a measure to raise the one-off tax reduction for 2008-09 salaries tax and tax under personal assessment to 100 per cent - with a ceiling of HK$8,000. All 1.4 million taxpayers will benefit and 565,000 of them, who have to pay salaries tax, will get the HK$8,000 rebate.

Marilyn In My Dreams
With this picturepaid homage to the iconic beauty of Marilyn Monroe depicted in this picture as though an individual associated with fantasy. Orange hair supplemented the implied iconic personality of the artist's idol.
Famous for his depictions of the portraits of famous persons the artist have a few collection of true masterpieces as it is. Abstracted; the image had drawn another part of the artist's preferred genre. For shielded from upfront ridicule the artist provided Marilyn another level of obscurity.
Adoration and not only rapport lurked in every possible crack, nook and cranny but every time an abstraction is presented some petty and vulgar person will always interrupt the view with a rather twisted irony. That is but sometimes crazy notion of fanatical involvement but in the case of this artist subtlety is my world now.
