The place to be....for the Characters, Places & Things on Television
Hawkins originally developed his exo-skeleton with the help of his associate John Stonebrake (Roger Rees) as a vehicle for him to walk after he was shot by a crooked cop and left paralyzed from the waist down during the L.A. Riots of the 1990s.
When Miles discovered the suit's superhuman strength and speed, he decided to fight crime as a vigilante known as M.A.N.T.I.S. To stop criminals, M.A.N.T.I.S fires special darts that impart a temporary paralytic shock.
Miles fought corruption from his secret headquarters beneath his coastal home near Port Columbia. Dr. Hawkins placed the following newspaper ad "Need Help? No One To Turn To? 1-500-4-MANTIS." He traveled via a flying car known as the Chrysalis, originally designed as a prototype for the police.
Miles' alter ego was eventually discovered by a police detective Lt. Leora Maxwell (Gaylyn Gorg) but instead of exposing Miles, she joined forces with M.A.N.T.I.S to battle crime and bring back justice to the streets.
A bicycle courier named Taylor Savidge (Christopher Russell Gartin) - who also knew about M.A.N.T.I.S. - did the legwork for Miles Hawkins.
M.A.N.T.I.S. stood for Mechanically Automated Neuro Transmitter Interactive System.

Frightfully good play
It's not even the end of the first quarter, but both Webster high schools are already rolling out their first drama productions of the school year.
The fun begins Thursday night, when students of Webster Thomas present The Calamityville Terror, just in time for Halloween. Here's the official word on the plot, taken from the Webster Thomas website:
I'm assured by director Kelly Cameron that both adults and kids will enjoy the show. Performances are Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in the Thomas High School auditorium. General admission tickets are $6 for adults and $5 for students and senior citizens and will be available at the door.
Twenty-one Thomas students are involved in the production, including cast and crew. They've been working very hard for the last few months to pull this together, so come on out and enjoy the show!

While many people know quite a few things about Prince, they might not realize what a sportsman his royal badness is. Lenny Kravitz stopped by "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" to talk "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," but the real meat of the discussion was about Lenny and Jimmy's mutual interactions with Prince.
Fallon had a ping pong encounter with the singer and says Prince easily beat him before disappearing. Kravitz says Prince is great at everything, including ping pong, pool and bowling. It seems Prince's strategy, beyond being "stupid good," is talking smack. He also does it all with style.
Lenny says during a bowling outing he had with Prince, the singer had a purple ball, because what else, and wore furry knee-high boots, instead of shoes. Prince would never be caught dead in a pair of rented bowling shoes. "He will kick you a** in an outfit," Kravitz says.
That doesn't stop Jimmy from throwing down the gauntlet though, challenging Prince to a bowling game or a doubles ping pong match. Fallon even recruits Kravitz for his team. Please let this happen.

CMV - immunocompromised host
Alternative Names: Cytomegalovirus - immunocompromised host
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a member of a group of herpes-type viruses that can cause disease in different parts of the body in people. This article discusses CMV in people with weakened immune systems.
Causes of CMV - immunocompromised host
Most humans are exposed to CMV in their lifetime, but typically only individuals with weakened immune systems become ill from CMV infection. Usually, CMV produces no symptoms. However, serious CMV infections can occur in people with weakened immune systems due to AIDS, organ transplants, bone marrow transplant, chemotherapy, or medicines that suppress the immune system.
A CMV infection may affect different parts of the body. Infections include:
- CMV esophagitis (infection of the esophagus)
- CMV gastroenteritis (infection of the stomach or intestines)
- CMV retinitis (infection of the eye)
- CMV pneumonia (infection of the lung)
- Mononucleosis-like illness
Once a person becomes infected, the virus remains alive, but usually dormant, within that person's body for life. Rarely does it cause recurrent disease, unless the person's immune system is suppressed due to medication or disease. Therefore, for most people, CMV infection is not a serious problem.
Primary CMV infection in pregnant women can cause harm to the developing fetus. See: Congenital cytomegalovirus
CMV - immunocompromised host Symptoms
The symptoms of CMV infection are similar to those of mononucleosis. In fact, in a small percentage of people with mononucleosis, CMV is the cause. The symptoms of primary CMV infection are:
- Fatigue
- General discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling (malaise)
- Joint stiffness
- Loss of appetite
- Muscle aches or joint pain
- Night sweats
- Prolonged fever
- Sore throat
- Swelling of the lymph nodes
- Weakness
- Weight loss
In immunocompromised people, CMV can attack specific organs. The major symptoms of these organ-specific infections are:
- Blindness
- Floaters in the eye
- Visual impairment
- Diarrhea
- Swallowing difficulties or pain
- Ulcerations with bleeding
- Coma
- Encephalitis with behavioral changes
- Seizures
Tests and Exams
Blood and urine tests can detect and measure substances specific to CMV. A tissue biopsy is often required to be certain of the diagnosis (except in the eye or nervous system).
Treatment of CMV - immunocompromised host
Several antiviral medications are available to treat CMV. These medicines require close monitoring for side effects. Antiviral drugs can help stop the virus from copying itself within the body. However, the drugs do not eliminate the virus from the body.
Prognosis (Outlook)
CMV infection in an immunocompromised person can be life threatening. The severity of the disease depends on the strength of the person's immune system. Research has shown that people who have had a bone marrow transplant have the highest mortality risk.
Any immunocompromised person, whether an HIV patient, organ transplant recipient, bone marrow transplant recipient, or other, should seek medical advice if any signs of infection occur.
Potential Complications
- Blindness
- Kidney impairment (from medications used to treat the condition)
- Liver damage
- Low white blood cell count (from medications used to treat the condition)
- Meningitis
- Pneumonia
When to Contact a Health Professional
Call your health care provider if you are immunosuppressed and you have symptoms of CMV infection.
Prevention of CMV - immunocompromised host
The following should be tested for CMV:
- Anyone who has symptoms of infectious mononucleosis, but has negative test results for mononucleosis and Epstein Barr virus
- Anyone who shows signs of hepatitis, but has negative test results for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C

Assassin 3, Bard 3, Sorcerer/Wizard 3; Domain: Metal 3, Trade 2
Casting Time: 1 Standard Action
Components: V, S, M/DF
Range: Touch
Target: Up to 1000 coins per caster level up to 10,000 maximum, coins must all be in a single bag or container.
Duration: Permanent
Saving Throw: None; Spell Resistance: No
This spell, beloved of adventurers who often find themselves with a lot of small change, transmutes coins of one sort into coins of another, 'rolling up' their value. It will turn 10 copper pieces into a silver piece, or 50 silver pieces into five gold pieces.
The spell requires a coin of recent mintage, of the highest value desired (for example, a silver coin will allow copper to become silver, but not gold or platinum). Having multiple coins (1 each of silver, gold, and platinum) is ideal. The "target" coin must have been minted in the past year and must be a common coin in an area within 10 miles of the caster; this spell cannot be used to turn copper pieces into antique coins worth far more than their metallic value. Indeed, the coins created by this spell, while of the proper weight and purity, are generally worn, nicked, and otherwise seemingly well-used (this is by design, as a sudden flood of glistening, newly-pressed coins in the hands of disreputable wandering mercenaries is likely to raise eyebrows).
A "tax" of 1% of the total value of coins transmuted is enacted by the spell; this raw material is part of what powers the transmutation.
All coins to be transformed must be in a single container, be it a sack, chest, box, and so on, including extradimensional storage. The spell affects 1,000 base coins per caster level and begins with the cheapest coins, seeking to combine them into the highest value possible. Hence, a fifth level caster with 5500 copper pieces and 100 silver pieces would end up with 4 platinum pieces, 9 gold pieces, 500 copper pieces, and 105 silver pieces. (At fifth level, the spell will "look" only at the first 5000 coins — 5000 of the copper pieces. One percent of this, the spell's "tax", is 50 copper pieces, or, five silver pieces. The 4,950 copper coins become 4 platinum pieces (consuming 4000 of the copper), 9 gold pieces (consuming 900 copper), and 5 silver pieces (consuming 50 copper))
False coins (as determined by their metal content, not necessarily their mintage) are not affected by this spell, making this an interesting way to sort out shaved coins, or coins containing admixtures of base metals. The spell can work on small pieces of pure metals not necessarily minted into coins, but cannot affect any piece weighing more than an ounce.
There is a legend that a powerful trickster-mage authored a reversed version of this spell, and tricked a dragon into casting it, thus entombing the dragon under a mountain of copper pieces. This reversed spell, if it ever really existed, has been lost to common knowledge.
This arose from last night's PF game, where I realized it was a shame to leave low-value coins just lying around because they were heavy and bulky and even a portable hole only holds so much, especially when you dump a petrified mammoth into it. (Don't ask.) It occurred to me that this would be a useful spell, and so, I wrote it up. Now, any spell that deals with precious metals is an open invite for a clever player to find ways to completely crash your game world's economy, and so, I tried to find appropriate limits that would keep it at the "handy utility" level, and not the "hyperinflation level". Many obvious combat uses are nullified by the simple expedient of the spell rolling up, not down — otherwise, you could bring a sack of 10 platinum pieces, cast this, and shower 10,000 copper pieces down on some unsuspecting enemy. The fact it costs 1% of the total wealth imposes, well, a cost on the spell, making it at least a tiny decision to use it or just get bigger bags or more hirelings. (I might kick it up to 5% or 10%, as I think about it.) The need to have local, current, coins is there because the first exploit I thought of is creating coins whose value to historians or collectors greatly exceeds their metal value. The idea that it could be used to "filter" fake or tampered coins was a happy inspiration as I thought about exactly what the magic could and couldn't do, and how it would react to lead slugs in the coin bag.
Thoughts on other possible loopholes which could/should be capped, or non-exploitative but clever uses, are welcome.
(I thought I posted this ages ago, but no searches return it. Weird.)
One of the best things I've seen that helps spell out a lot of the rules style debates on RPGs was pointed out to me by someone whose name I forget on RPG.net, namely, the difference between Common Law and Statutory Law.
In Common Law, disputes are settled primarily by judges and magistrates, who look to prior cases and try to apply the same decision to the same facts. There is no body of formal law, just an accumulation of cases, and the practice is to look through prior cases and use them to reach a conclusion. In different regions or different nations, different sets of precedents evolve, and there's no great need to reconcile them, as it's believed they reflect the beliefs of the people who live under the law.
Statutory Law relies on well-documented laws that specify what rules apply to what actions and what penalties to apply. In the event that a specific law can't be found, or the law is ambiguous, the judge is supposed to interpret the laws that are written to reach a conclusion that is consistent with prior law. This also forms a body of precedent, but the precedent is a record of how laws have been interpreted (and is often an impetus for the laws to be formally clarified), and is not the basis of the law itself. Consistency among different regions is very important; conflicting interpretations will be brought to higher and higher courts until a final decision is reached.
Those who want "rulings based" games like Common Law. They want a few broad guidelines, and they run their games based on their past rulings of situations. Two different DMs may rule very differently on the same action, but they are then reasonably consistent going forward in their games. They want game companies to provide guiding principles and a few examples, from which they'll build their body of precedent. They often want to pick and choose which facts may be relevant to a given case, and ignore what seems unnecessary.
Those who want "rules based" games like Statutory Law. They want a well-defined set of rules that spell out as many situations as possible. They recognize no set of rules can be complete, but they see the role of the DM as finding the closest possible rule and extending it just enough to cover the situation, and this then creates a new rule. They want game companies (the "legislature") to correct poor rules or provide final and absolute answers to contradictory rules. They want a clear listing of all factors to be considered when applying a rule.
Neither of these is likely to be absolute, and neither is "better" or "worse", but they satisfy different needs and appeal to different people.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. Senate panel appears likely to demand the release of a contentious torture report that has sharply divided lawmakers and the CIA, as two centrist senators joined the push Wednesday for a summary of the review to be declassified.
In a joint statement, Sens. Susan Collins and Angus King said the still-classified Senate intelligence committee investigation would show the CIA tortured some terror detainees in its battle against terror after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. And they accused the agency of mismanaging its "enhanced interrogation program."
Collins and King are among the newest members of the intelligence panel, which will vote Thursday on whether to demand that the 6,200-page report's summary and key findings be made available to the public. Collins is a moderate Republican. King is an independent who caucuses with Democrats. All Democrats on the committee are likely to vote for declassification.
That step would initiate a process that could exacerbate a bitter rift between Senate investigators and CIA officials that includes dueling charges of snooping and competing criminal referrals to the Justice Department. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, and the committee chair, accuses the agency of improperly monitoring the computer use of Senate staffers and deleting files, undermining the U.S. Constitution's separation of powers between the executive and legislative branches of government. The CIA alleges the intelligence panel illegally accessed certain documents.
The two sides also remain at odds over the contents of the classified report. Congressional aides and outside experts familiar with the document say it is harshly critical of waterboarding and other harsh interrogation methods, and concludes among other things that such practices provided no key evidence in the hunt for Osama bin Laden. The CIA disputes many of the conclusions in the report.
Collins and King said they don't endorse all of the investigation's findings. They said it was limited because no CIA or executive branch officials were interviewed and Republican staff wasn't involved. But they said it was important to allow Americans to make their own conclusions, using the report alongside a CIA rebuttal and any dissenting views among intelligence committee members.
"We remain strongly opposed to the use of torture, believing that it is fundamentally contrary to American values," the senators said. "While we have some concerns about the process for developing the report, its findings lead us to conclude that some detainees were subjected to techniques that constituted torture. This inhumane and brutal treatment never should have occurred."

A key property of living cells is their ability to react to internal or external stimuli with specific biochemical responses. Bacteria have evolved to sense and rapidly adapt to environmental stimuli by changes in gene expression. Molecular details of the stress response networks regulating these responses have been uncovered for many model bacteria. However, we still lack network-level knowledge of these responses across species, which is necessary to obtain a deeper understanding of cellular functions and to best apply results obtained with model bacteria to pathogenic bacterial species that are poorly characterized or cannot be cultured in a laboratory. In this application we focus on two of the common basic building blocks of bacterial stress-response networks: two-component systems and alternative sigma-factor networks. Combining theoretical, computational and experimental approaches, our multi-disciplinary team will explore two important aspects of network organization - feedback loops due to transcriptional autoregulation and co-transcription of network genes in the same operon.
The Specific Aims are (SA1) To understand the relationship between co-expression of bacterial genes from a single operon and stochasticity in information processing of the corresponding networks and (SA2) To assess the role of feedback regulation in alternative sigma factor and two-component system networks. For each Specific Aim the research plan will involve three essential components: (1) formulation and analysis of biophysically realistic but analytically tractable models of master-regulation modules of stress-response networks, (2) simulations and analysis of detailed models of particular networks in the model organism Mycobacterium smegmatis, and (3) experimental tests of predictions in M. smegmatis. This will lead to iterative and synergistic feedback between theories/models and experiments. The results of the proposed work are expected to reveal novel evolutionary design principles characterizing relationships between network architecture and dynamical performance across bacterial species, which are essential for the manipulation of naturally occurring networks and for designing synthetic gene circuits.
M. smegmatis is utilized as a model for pathogenic mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which still causes two million deaths a year worldwide. The networks under study have been associated with critical aspects of M. tuberculosis virulence -- susceptibility to antibiotics, persistence and dormancy. Thus, we expect to develop critical knowledge affecting our understanding of important human pathogens.

After slogging through World of Warcraft for several years, the last thing I want in a game is something that requires me to basically live a double life. I'd like an MMO where I could pop in and out, instead of dedicating multi-hour blocks that become the equivalent of a part-time job by the end of the week. And that doesn't include researching content for efficient strategies, researching in-game equipment for optimized tactics, bickering with people on the Internet about various aspects of gameplay, or ultimately regretting all the time I didn't spend socializing, reading books, accumulating income, learning a real-world employment skill, exercising, eating decently, or traveling.
About ten years ago, $100 was the norm for a very solid video card. Not coincidentally, there was a lot more competition in the market. Then came the dot-com collapse. ATI and nVidia emerged from the rubble, and people have been accusing them of price collusion for years. It would be pretty easy to do so, now that 3DFX, Matrox, S3, Rendition and the rest are largely out of the way in this sector of the market, or gone completely.
There's also the current economy to consider. The high-end cards have typically only comprised a small percentage of the market, and it's simply not realistic right now to expect someone to cough up $400-500 for just a video card when they can get an entire laptop for that much. Or, you know, pay the rent and put food on the table.

Water Baptism is not Salvation, the gift of Salvation is given to us by God through His grace and acknowledging the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. We encourage obedience to the Lord's command of Water Baptism by immersion (Mt. 28:18-19). This act symbolically declares that a believer's old sinful life died with Christ and that a new spiritual life with Christ has been raised. Therefore, in order to be considered for baptism, a person's life should reflect their new life in Christ and their commitment to obeying his Word. Candidates for Water Baptism must be of an age and understanding that they need to have a personal experience with God. We fully immerse the candidate in water symbolically representing the death and resurrection. Water Baptism is simply a person choosing to follow Jesus Christ and His teachings, openly proclaiming that you are a Christian. We baptize in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19-20. Water Baptism takes place several times throughout the year. For more information, contact the church office at 612.722.6687.

Food Fight: Oral Arguments in Prison Kosher Case Set to Begin
Texas Prison System One of Few Remaining Holdouts Restricting Access to Kosher Meals
For Immediate Release: September 27, 2012
WASHINGTON, DC – A heated legal fight over Jewish prisoners' access to kosher food will be heard when the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit hears oral argument Monday, October 1 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty and the law firm Latham & Watkins LLP are representing Max Moussazadeh, an observant Jew in the Texas prison system. They will argue that the restriction violates the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA).
Although thirty-five states and the federal government provide Jewish inmates with a kosher diet, Texas has refused to provide a kosher diet to Moussazadeh, despite the minimal cost, which is less than 0.02% of its annual food budget. There is mounting evidence that efforts to accommodate prisoners' religious beliefs reduce violence and recidivism.
WHAT: Oral arguments begin in Moussazadeh v. Texas Department of Criminal Justice
WHO: Anne Robinson of Latham & Watkins LLP will argue for Moussazadeh, before Fifth Circuit judges Carolyn Dineen King, Jerry E. Smith, and Rhesa H. Barksdale
WHEN: Monday, October 1, 2012 at 9:00 a.m.
WHERE: Room 223 of the John Minor Wisdom United States Court of Appeals Building, 600 Camp Street, New Orleans, LA
The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty is a non-profit, public-interest law firm dedicated to protecting the free expression of all religious traditions. The Becket Fund has a 17-year history of defending religious liberty for people of all faiths. Its attorneys are recognized as experts in the field of church-state law, and they recently won a 9-0 victory at the U.S. Supreme Court in Hosanna-Tabor v. EEOC, which The Wall Street Journal called one of "the most important religious liberty cases in a half century."

Enough is enough, food for there faith is a lame excuse. They should be so lucky there even feed basic food! They have no right's ! Our jail's arn't a vaction home for people convicted of a crime. In there country, Bread & water & a beating is a good day. We Americans are sick of paying higher taxes for stupid,waste of money law suits for prisoners right's in court. They should not have any rights , that's why there there because they took away right's from somebody or stole from our system.
Kosher, Halal, Are Muslims provided with food of their faith?

Straining to understand bending?
Regression analysis predicts springback's magnitude, variation
Before you can hydroform tube, you bend it. Then it springs back. You can compensate by overbending it, but first you have to predict the amount of springback.
Editor's Note: This article was adapted from the paper "Springback Characteristics of Bent Tubes for Hydroforming Applications," which was presented at the 4th Annual North American Hydroforming Conference & Exhibition, Sept. 25-27, 2006 London, Ontario, Canada.
The use of hydroforming technology continues to grow even though initial investment for a hydroforming line is high and production rates are low, when compared with conventional stamping. Its growth continues because, for many applications, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. Advantages include assembly simplification because several components can be consolidated into a single part; improved vehicle safety because hydroformed components often are stronger than components made with other methods; better fuel efficiency because hydroformed components often weigh less than other components; and better part quality because hydroforming offers accurate geometric dimensions and excellent consistency.
To become a hydroformed component, a straight tubular blank with predetermined requirements such as diameter, wall thickness, and material composition is bent to desired angles so the tube resembles the finished component. The tube then is transferred to a preforming tool to deform it to a near-net-shaped component. The preformed tube then is hydroformed to the desired geometric shape using controlled internal pressure and axial feeding simultaneously.
Strains in Tube Production, Fabrication
As the original hot-rolled or cold-rolled sheet goes through the forming steps of tube-making, bending, preforming, and hydroforming, it is deformed along a
complicated strain path that introduces strain hardening and therefore increases the material's strength. Typical strain values for aluminum-killed draw-quality (AKDQ) steel for each step are as follows: 5 percent to 15 percent for tube-making; 20 percent to 30 percent for tube bending; and 5 percent to 15 percent for hydroforming. 1 The data implies that relatively high plastic strains occur during bending.
Springback, which is the material's elastic recovery after bending, is defined as Dq = qt - qm, where qt is the target angle and qm is the measured angle. Springback equalizes stresses—it allows the stress field in the tube to return to a state of static equilibrium after the forces are removed. Proper correction for springback is required for two reasons: to allow the tube to fit into the hydroforming die cavity and to prevent pinching the tube when the upper hydroforming die closes. Therefore, accurate springback prediction is necessary to produce quality parts. Without proper compensation, springback can result in severe surface scratching or part failure.
The Study and Results
It is understood that for a given tube size and radius, as the target angle increases, the formation region becomes larger and therefore incurs more strain. The elastic recovery energy in the material after unloading increases as the size of the formation region increases. A tube bending study examined tube characteristics and process parameters to derive a mathematical formula for predicting the amount of springback.
The tube specimens are made from a hot-rolled steel alloy, POS-HF370, which was developed specifically for hydroforming. The tube made from this alloy is formed using electric resistance welding (ERW). Its characteristics are shown in Figure 1.
The test specimens are 1,000-millimeter-long tubes bent to 90 degrees on a CNC rotary draw bender and then measured using a 3-D scanner with a touch probe, which has an accuracy of ± 0.02 degree, according to the manufacturer.
The Variables. This study investigates two diameters and several variable process parameters to determine how much each variable influences the amount of springback.
Figure 2 shows the tube dimensions for the experiments and the D of bend, which is the bend radius divided by the tube diameter. Figure 3 lists the bending process parameters and how they varied in this study.
Figure 4 shows how springback varies as the target angle varies for Tube 1, which has a D of bend of 1.89. The amount of springback increases linearly as the target angle increases. For a 90-degree target angle, the amount of springback varies between 1.46 degrees and 1.80 degrees, depending on the amount of boosting force. Increasing the amount of boost reduces the amount of springback.
For 4.8 to 6.0 tons of boost, which is the normal range for hydroforming, springback for a 90-degree angle increases by approximately 0.7 degree as compared with the amount of springback for a 22.5-degree bend angle.
Linear regression predicts the amount of overbending needed to compensate for springback:
Dq = 0.815 + 0.012qB - 0.05BF ,
where qB is the target angle in degrees and BF is the amount of boost force in tons. The square of the correlation coefficient (R2) is 0.95, indicating that the correlation between the measured and predicted values is very good. For tube with a D of bend of 1.89, this equation predicts a springback to an accuracy of ± 0.3 degree.
For Tube 2, which has a D of bend of 1.47, the equation predicts springback to be linear (as it was for Tube 1) but greater. This is because the bending radius is tighter and the bending stress is greater, so the tube releases more elastic energy after unloading. With normal boosting, the springback varies from 3.2 degrees to 5.2 degrees, depending on the target angle (see Figure 5).
For a D of bend of 1.47, linear regression predicts that the amount of overbending needed to compensate for springback is:
Dq = 0.84 + 0.025qB + 0.164BF
The square of the correlation coefficient (R2) is 0.97, so this correlation between the measured and predicted values is better than it was for the other equation. For tube with D of bend that equals 1.47, this equation predicts a springback to an accuracy of ± 0.3 degree.
In addition to the target angle and boost force, this study investigated two other bending parameters: mandrel position and bending speed. Analysis of the data revealed that changing these parameters had little effect on springback. Adjusting them through their full ranges as specified for this study resulted in less than 0.1 degree of springback variation.
Based on these results, the conclusion is that the target angle and boosting are critical factors that affect springback, and that their effects are predictable using regression analysis.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Thank you very much for your hospitality! The apartment is well located and also very well equipped! Perfect for a couple! I highly recommend the apartment!
Merci beaucoup pour votre accueil!
L'appartement est bien situé et aussi très bien équipé! Parfait pour un couple!
Je recommande vivement l'appartement!
the first nice location u can walk to beach with in 5 mins that is the great part to me
me and my wife we almost spent time on the beach in nice of course u can
go old town it's little fat away but i only went to old town 1time only
if u stay in nice , i think u dont wanna do any thing just wanna lay down on the
beach So here is the best way in nice
We had a great stay in Nice, the property is very close to the tram, train, bike hire and a 10-15 minute walk to the old town. It is also close to a supermarket (monoprix) so we saved money cooking after a day on the beach. The apartment was clean, simplistic and with a spacious living area and the host was very flexible with our arrival and departure times.
Warm 2nd time I come ..... In addition the sheets and towels ..... For me the top
Accueil chaleureux 2émes fois que je viens .....En plus les draps et linges.....Pour moi le top
The host is service-minded, reliable and flexible. The apartment was small though fulfilled all the basic requirements, incl. a reasonably comfortable bed, basic kitchen and a surprisingly nice bathroom and toilet. Though the furniture is mainly IKEA quality (or lack thereof) it is a good place to spend a weekend in walking distance from the promenade (5 min), place Massena (15 min) and the old city (18 min). It's even got a Blue Bikes (Velobleue) station right next to the entrance. Even though the street outside is heavily trafficed, the windows blocked most of the noise and we had a lovely time in Nice. I can recommend a stay at Blvd Grosso for any young couple on a low budget trip to Nice.
Salvatore is a nice and helpful guy. The contact before we arrived was good and our early check-out was not a problem.
The appartment looks exactly like the pictures and was clean, but it is quite small and I would not recommend it for very tall people, more than 2 people or for a stay of more than 2-3 nights.
The location is great, next to the old town, 10 min. walk to the beach and with a nice view of the Garibaldi Square and the mountains outside Nice. The square has some traffic which starts very early in the morning so bring earplugs if you want to sleep with the windows open.
I have been a month in Niza and I've stayed in the studio on the Boulevard François Grosso. The studio was very nicely decorated, very clean and very bright too well that the studio is so close to the beach. Shopping are also nearby. Of course it was not big bother me in the studio a little noisy due to road traffic, but nonetheless has. It would be beneficial if you would notify the tenants that you are responsible for the linens and towels. Salvatore was always courteous and very pleasant. I can recommend the studio to anyone.
Ich bin eine Monat lang in Niza gewesen und hab mich im Studio am Boulevard François Grosso aufgehalten. Das Studio war sehr nett eingerichtet, sehr sauber und sehr hell. Auch gut, dass das Studio so nahe am Strand liegt. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten befinden sich auch in der Nähe.
Natürlich war es im Studio ein wenig laut wegen des Strassenverkehrs, doch nicht desto trotz hat es mich nicht gross gestört. Es wäre von Vorteil, wenn man den Mietern mitteilen würde, dass man selbst für die Bettwäsche bzw. Geschirrtücher verantwortlich ist.
Salvatore war stets zuvorkommend uns sehr nett. Ich kann das Studio jedem empfehlen.
Very nice host and a very nice apartment. We were much satisfied with our stay here!
We stayed 5 days and everything was perfect! The studio had everything we needed, the location just great and Salvatore top! We are arriving late in Nice, 21:30, no worries, Salvatore was there to greet us. He advised us on all our questions and was a pleasure to answer. And more to finish the day of departure, our flight was late, we had to make the studio for 12:00 but we arranged with Salvatore to retrieve the luggage later. He does everything to help you. I advise anyone that studio for a stay in Nice.
Nous avons séjourné 5 jours et tout était parfait! Le studio avait tout se qu'il fallait, l'emplacement juste géniale et Salvatore top!
Nous somme arrivés tard à Nice, 21:30, pas de soucis, Salvatore était là pour nous accueillir. Il nous a conseillé sur toutes nos questions et se faisait une joie d'y répondre.
Et en plus pour finir, le jour de départ, notre vol était assez tard, nous avons dû rendre le studio pour les 12:00 mais on s'est arrangé avec Salvatore pour récuperer les bagages plus tard. Il fait tout pour vous rendre service.
Je conseille à n'importe qui ce studio pour un séjour à Nice.
The studio was perfectly clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Everything was new and in good condition. The studio is well situated near the tramway station and walking distance from the centre of Nice and Vieux Nice.
Salvatore was very friendly and flexible about our late night arrival and early departure which was much appreciated. I would recommend this accommodation for a visit to Nice.

You can basically write in Beck's stats for every game. Game in and game out he is completing over 70% of his passes, throwing for around 300 yards and multiple touchdowns. Tonight, Beck threw for 313 yards and completed 77% of his passes for a 12-yard average per pass attempt, which is simply phenomenal. Beck completely riddled Wyoming's coverages throughout the game.
Running Backs: B+
It was an efficient yet unspectacular outing by BYU's running backs. They made plays when they needed to but were not dominate as I expected they would be in this game. Wyoming stacked the line, preferring to make Beck beat them. Curtis Brown had a good outing with 92 yards rushing, but Fui Vakapuna was a non-factor due to a gimpy ankle that limited his reps.
Wide Receivers: A
Michael Reed only had two catches, but they were both outstanding grabs, one of which went for a touchdown. Reed is starting to really use his superior size effectively downfield. He will continue to be one of Beck's better options over the top of coverage because he makes great adjustments on the ball in the air while shielding out smaller cornerbacks.
Zac Collie, Matt Allen and McKay Jacobson were all pretty quiet save for Jacobson's punt return, which I will get to later in my special teams grade. It was a solid game for the Cougar wideouts.
Inside Receivers: A-
Meikle's two dropped passes are the only thing keeping this unit from an A grade. Jonny Harline showed up big tonight, making several great grabs while showing great athleticism. He was Beck's go-to guy in most third down situations.
Offensive Line: B
The push of the OL in short yardage situations was not always what you would expect from this unit and they will need to work on that in future games. Pass protection was good again save for about three instances that led to sacks and hurries on Beck.
Defensive Line: A
These guys allowed nothing in regards to a running attack and mounted good pressure on Karsten Sween all game long. The DL did not make many plays individually but dominated their blocking assignments, allowing the Cougar linebackers free reign to wreak havoc which they did. The DL got it done.
Linebackers: A+
It is no longer sufficient to give this unit a mere "A" grade game in and game out. The Cougar linebackers flowed to the ball, filled just about every gap they were given, shot the gap on many plays, which led to losses, and shed virtually every open-field block thrown at them.
Cameron Jensen may have had his best game ever tonight, which is saying a lot for a player who has shown up big in every game this year. If memory serves correctly General Jensen personally stuffed three third and short attempts by the Cowboys. He also shut down one fourth and short attempt when he went "Kyle Morrell" by leaping over the line to stop Sween on a quarterback sneak.
What about the rest of the linebackers? They were again outstanding in every aspect of their play.
Cornerbacks: A
I ranted on our board earlier this week that people need to quit bagging on Justin Robinson, who has been very good all year long. In this game, he was outstanding. Wyoming actually attempted to beat him deep on several occasions, but Robinson was in perfect position each time and forced incompletions. Robinson should have had two interceptions in this game, but was outstanding none-the-less.
Ben Criddle mirrored Robinson's play on the other side allowing few complete passes. Criddle also showed up big by tackling players in the open field.
Safeties: A
Quinn Gooch would be my second pick for defensive MVP in this game. Early on, he cut the angle of Wyoming's very shifty and fast running back dropping him in the open field on a play that may have gone for a long touchdown run had Gooch not made the play. Gooch also made an outstanding play to intercept a Sween pass. He jumped the pattern and almost returned it for a touchdown.
Special Teams: A+
Kick coverages were outstanding once again, but it was the returns that set the tone for this game. Nathan Miekle had several productive returns but none as productive as when he almost took the opening kickoff for a touchdown.
I feel sorry for any fan who left the game early and missed McKay Jacobson's touchdown on a punt return. Jacobson showed every aspect of an effective returner on the play:
1. He immediately identified the open seam and split it. There was no hesitation at all, and he showcased his speed by splitting a seam that few players on either team could have done.
2. Jacobson maintained his balance and forward progress despite a pretty darn good hit by a Wyoming defender. Jacobson bounced off the hit without much of a stagger and then took it to the end zone.
3. Despite getting hit and already running for 60 yards, Jacobson still managed to cut the ball against the grain and maintain his distance from one of Wyoming's fastest defenders on his way to the end zone.
Offensive MVP: Jonny Harline
It would be easy to give it to Beck every week, but Harline gets it this week for making several great grabs including a touchdown and several third down conversions.
Defensive MVP: Cameron Jensen
For reasons already mentioned above, Jensen was truly the General of the football field tonight.

Mandatory Health Insurance Requirements
Health insurance is mandatory at Penn State for international students and their accompanying dependents (spouse and/or children).
Penn State requires health insurance for international students for several reasons, including:
- Health care can be very costly in the US.
- The US does not have a national health care plan.
- Health services may be restricted if you do not have health insurance.
Health Insurance Explained
A large group of people (both sick and healthy) pays an established amount of money for some protection against future health costs. Their money is put together in one fund, called an "insurance pool." When members of the fund get sick or injured and incur medical costs, money is taken from this insurance pool to pay for part or all of their costs. People in the US are financially responsible for their own medical or health care needs.
Fulfilling the Health Insurance Requirement
The requirement may be fulfilled in one of two ways.
- If you already have a comparable health insurance plan, you must complete a waiver form and provide the University with documentation.
- If you don't already have a comparable health insurance plan, you may purchase the Penn State Student Health Insurance Plan or you may buy coverage other than the Penn State plan, but it must meet established waiver criteria.
Late Fee
- There is a $50.00 late fee for students who fail to fulfill the mandatory health insurance requirement by the established semester deadline. There is a $100.00 late fee for students who don't fulfill the mandatory health insurance requirement the second time.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
But it was in 1964 that Guaraldi took his first step toward the music that would make him most famous. Lee Mendelson and Bill Melendez, a pair of television writers and producers, were working on a documentary about Charles Schulz, the creator of the popular comic strip Peanuts, and they approached Guaraldi to compose the score. The documentary never aired, but when Mendelson and Melendez teamed up with Schulz in 1965 to create an animated Christmas special featuring the Peanuts characters, they wanted a score with a different flavor than most Saturday morning cartoons, and once again asked Guaraldi to collaborate. A Charlie Brown Christmas was an immediate hit with audiences and critics alike, and has become a Yuletide perennial, broadcast every December, and Guaraldi's score -- by turns full of contemplative beauty and brimming with high-spirited joy -- was cited by many as one of the best things about the show. When Mendelson, Melendez, and Schulz began work on a second Peanuts special, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, Guaraldi was again invited to write the music. He became an integral part of the production team behind the specials (generally at least one was produced each year), and also wrote music for the Peanuts-themed feature film A Boy Named Charlie Brown. Guaraldi's work on the Peanuts projects kept him busy enough that he would release only six more albums during the rest of his recording career (including two albums for Warner Bros. that found him experimenting with electric instruments), though he kept up a schedule of live performances in addition to his television commitments. On February 6, 1976, Vince Guaraldi died of a heart attack in a hotel room in Menlo Park, California; he had completed recording of his score for It's Arbor Day, Charlie Brown earlier in the day, and was resting between shows during a nightclub engagement when he collapsed and never woke up.
Mendelson and Melendez continued to produce Peanuts specials after Guaraldi's death, but they acknowledged the pianist was difficult to replace, and in 1992, with It's Christmas Time Again, Charlie Brown, they went back to using Guaraldi's themes for the shows, as performed by David Benoit, a jazz pianist who has cited Guaraldi as a major influence. George Winston, Wynton & Ellis Marsalis, and Dave Brubeck have also paid homage to Guaraldi's music for the Peanuts specials, while a number of pop, rock, and hip-hop artists have recorded his pieces, including Danny Gatton, Gary Hoey, Pizzicato Five, and Game Theory. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Although health is normally not a key driver in confectionery purchasing and consumption, the rising level of interest in naturalness has been making an impact on the confectionery sector and driving the move to "clean labeling." Nearly 9.5% of all confectionery launches recorded by Innova Market Insights in the 12 months ending Sept. 30, 2012, used natural or additive-/preservative-free claims or both. This made it the most popular health claim overall for confectionery.
Sugar-free/low-sugar/no-added-sugar claims were featured on just fewer than 9% of introductions, organic on 3.3%, and low fat on just fewer than 2%. Levels of interest in natural and additive-/preservative-free claims are higher in the more developed markets, particularly in the United States and Western Europe where they accounted for 16% and 15% of total confectionery introductions, respectively.
Sugar confectionery and chocolate both featured a similar number of launches using natural and additive- or preservative-free claims, but their influence was far more significant for sugar confectionery, as they accounted for over 15% of total launches, compared with 9% for chocolate.
A recent development that could also help in the drive for clean-label confectionery has been the growing use of the natural sweetener stevia, which gained approval in the United States and Australasia in 2008, and in the EU in 2011. Confectionery launches featuring stevia have risen sharply, more than quadrupling over a 1-year period.
Lu Ann Williams, Research Manager at Innova Market Insights, confirms that interest in naturalness, all-natural ingredients, and the elimination of artificial additives has continued to be an area of considerable interest in the food and drinks market. "Looking at levels of new product activity, this trend seems set to continue, not only in the introduction of new clean-label lines, but perhaps more significantly in the reformulation of existing market-leading brands to meet clean-label criteria," said Williams.

According to the Patent Office, the WIPO has requested protection for the new pope's coat of arms and seals under art 6ter of the Paris Convention in that they constitute the state emblems of the the Vatican. There is a delicious irony there in that the WIPO is based in Geneva which was John Calvin's home town.
The Patent Office also claims that the new arms and seals may be inspected on the WIPO website. I did have a look but all I could find were representations of the previous pope's.
One of my first posts was on clergymen registering trade marks "Hallelujah! More Entertainment from across the Atlantic" 24 Aug 2005. Even though Mr Falwell was relying on common law trade marks which suggests that he must have some sort of reputation and goodwill it is not quite the same thing as protection under the Paris Convention. Is it.
Revised 17 Jan 2005 thanks to the comment from "Anonymous" below.

1 comment:
Actually it is article 6bis which protects well-known marks (to which you refer in the heading and final paragraph). Article 6ter (as you stated in the body of your post) protects "State Emblems, Official Hallmarks, and Emblems of Intergovernmental Organizations" which do not need to be well known (and hence can be a new Pope's arms) provided they meet the requirements of the Treaty.

More than 1 million people are dying prematurely every year from air pollution in China, according to a new analysis.
"This is the highest toll in the world and it really reflects the very high levels of air pollution that exist in China today," says Robert O'Keefe of the Health Effects Institute in Boston, who presented the findings in Beijing this week.
Alarm has been growing in recent years about the air in China. On many days in many cities, the air is thick with smog.
"When you get off the airplane, if you were to travel to Beijing, you would immediately feel your eyes stinging and your throat rasping," says Barbara Finamore, director of the Natural Resources Defense Council's China program based in Beijing.
It's so bad that people commonly walk the streets wearing masks. Parents won't let their kids play outside.
"There are many days where we cannot see the building across the street," she says. "It's a pea soup of pollution."
O'Keefe and other researchers decided to take a closer look at a massive report about the world's health problems that was released in December by the journal The Lancet.
They found that in China, approximately 1.2 million people die prematurely from exposure to outdoor air pollution.
In fact, about two-thirds of all the deaths from air pollution are now occurring in Asia, most of them in China. And air pollution has become the fourth leading cause of death in China.
"For the most part, the air pollution effects are generally manifested in frail populations — people with asthma are generally more susceptible to the effects of air pollution," O'Keefe says. "Also the very young and children who live in highly polluted areas for extended periods of time."
The main reason air pollution is such a huge and growing problem is clear — China's explosive growth.
"Cars are being added and trucks are being added to the streets in major cities at record numbers. Power plants burn significant amounts of very low-grade coal, and the energy consumption in China is rising dramatically." O'Keefe says.
But O'Keefe says there are hints the government is starting to take the issue more seriously. Just the fact that the government allowed O'Keefe to present his report at an open forum in the nation's capital is promising, he says
"There was a large amount of Chinese media there. I was very encouraged by that," he says. "And I think it's another signal that the government is serious about beginning to engage on this very significant public health problem."
The government also recently started doing something else to acknowledge the problem.
"They've put in place — and this is quite remarkable — a nationwide monitoring network that is reporting, in real time, levels of air pollution," O'Keefe says. "So for the first time the Chinese government is providing transparent levels of air pollution that the public can actually see."
Others agree that the new public monitoring system is a sign of progress. Only a few years ago, people just didn't realize what was happening.
"I remember going down the street and people saying, 'Very foggy day today,'" Finamore says. "They didn't recognize that it was smog and certainly deadly smog until that information started becoming available on a real time basis."
Still, Finemore is encouraged by other steps the government is taking, including efforts to clean up exhaust from cars and trucks and cut sulfur dioxide from coal-fired power plants in half.
"So I think the tide has turned in China. The government recognizes that the people are demanding cleaner air, cleaner water, cleaner food. And they have at least said they are going to do something about it," Finamore says.
But Finamore says the key will be whether the government follows through on its promises to start cleaning up China's filthy air.
