The physicist and Nobel Prize winner Wolfgang Ketterle once described it as an "identity crisis" of atoms: If atoms are caught in a trap and cooled to a temperature close to the absolute zero point, they condense – similar to vapour condensing to water – and take on an all new condition: They become indistinguishable. This collective condition is called – named for its intellectual fathers – Bose-Einstein condensate.
Physicists at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) have now succeeded for the first time worldwide in producing a Bose-Einstein condensate from the alkaline earth element calcium. The use of alkaline earth atoms creates new potential for precision measurements -- for example, for the determination of gravitational fields. Because as opposed to previous Bose-Einstein condensates from alkali atoms, alkaline earth metals react one million times more responsively to the wavelength at optical excitations – a fact which can be used for super exact measurements. Theresults have now been published in Physical Review Letters.
Quantum mechanical background
Atoms in gases at room temperature behave like a wild bunch: They fly pell-mell at different speeds, collide with one another, and are then hurled again in another direction. However at extremely low temperatures close to the absolute zero point at zero Kelvin (–273.15 degrees Celsius) they nearly come to a standstill. At this point, the laws of quantum mechanics come into effect; these cannot be observed in everyday life and have an unsettling effect on many a non-physicist. The idea of atoms as small spheres does not work any longer. In fact, atoms can now only be described quantum mechanically by waves. Like water waves they can overlap each other. In the case of a Bose-Einstein condensate, the wave functions of up to one million atoms are so synchronised that they pile up to form a giant wave. These formations can grow to one millimeter in size and they can then be photographed. The microcosm presents itself macroscopically – it becomes visible for the observer. In the past few years, such Bose-Einstein condensates have been used for diverse investigations on the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, as a model system for solids or in quantum information.
Potential applications
The wave patterns of excited Bose-Einstein condensates are very responsive to their environment. Thus, by investigating these patterns it is possible to produce highly responsive interferometric sensors, e.g. for magnetic fields but also for gravitation. For the manipulation und excitation of condensates light is used. All Bose-Einstein condensates produced so far worldwide have a common disadvantage: Their broad optical transitions do not allow any precision excitations. In the case of Bose-Einstein condensates from alkaline earth atoms (e.g. calcium and strontium, both of which are being investigated at PTB as to their suitability as optical clocks) their super-narrow optical transitions offer novel potential for precision investigations. Conceivable is their use on satellites, e.g. by geophysicists, who study the deformation of the Earth and thus the change in gravitation.
At PTB it was possible for the first time worldwide to produce a Bose-Einstein condensate from alkaline earth atoms. To this end, 2·106 calcium atoms precooled in a magneto-optical trap were loaded at a temperature of 20µK into optical forceps. Due to the weakening of the holding force hot atoms vaporize, whereby the remaining atoms are cooled. At a temperature of typically 200 nK the critical temperature is reached with 105 atoms. Of these, approx. 2·104 atoms can be cooled to form a pure condensate.

Fergie Taking The Year to "Spend Time with Hubby"
Fergie is in no rush to record a follow-up album to her 2006 solo debut "The Dutchess" this year.
The Black Eyed Peas singer tells Access Hollywood: "I've got a lot on my plate and this year is more about simplifying and really paying attention to the projects that I have on my plate and spending some time with the hubby, you know?"
Of course the "hubby" she is referring to is actor Josh Duhamel, famous for the television show Las Vegas and movies such as Life as We Know It and Transformers. Married since January 2009, the couple weathered tabloid controversy when Josh was accused of cheating on his new wife with a stripper named Nicole Forrester less than a year into the marriage, a claim Josh vehemently denied.
On top of alleged infidelity rumors, the couple have had hectic work schedules since their nuptials. Fergie embarked on "The E.N.D." tour with her Black Eyed Peas bandmates and Josh has reprised his role in the Transformers sequels.
What specific aspect of domestic bliss is Mrs. Duhamel looking forward to?
"Cleaning out my closet," she says.

Know that kid from Two And A Half Men? He is highest-paid kid on televsion, thanks to his $250,000 per episode paycheck on the CBS sitcom starring Ducky (Jon Cryer) and Shady (Charlie Sheen), the New York Post reports. Angus, who's 16, has starred on the show since 2003, and likely bags royalties from syndication — craziness!
But get this: Miranda Cosgrove gets $180,000 per episode of iCarly, and Selena Gomez nets $25,000 a pop for Wizards Of Waverly Place.
What is Angus doing with all that $$$? Starting the Angus T. Jones Foundation for Charlie Sheen Survivors?

know I have another question!
I want to change the size from a HFM or VFM! I try it with sublayout() and with setExtent(). But I think the only value I set is the maximum width or height, but I want to set the permanent size of the manager. Know the manager is so wide like the field which is in it. Anybody understand me and can help me?
regards Maja
Did you call setExtent before or after the call to super.sublayout?
Know I call setExtent() only!
public CustomVerticalFieldManager(long style, int width, int height){ super(style); super.setExtent(width, height); } protected void paint(Graphics graphics) { graphics.setBackgroundColor(); graphics.setColor(); graphics.clear(); super.subpaint(graphics); }
03-04-2010 08:54 AM - edited 03-04-2010 08:55 AM
So ok maybe I can explain it a little bit more!
I want that it looks like:
| | |
| | Field1 |
| Field | |
| | Field2 |
| | |
Know it looks like
| | |
| |Field1|
|Field| |
| |Field2|
| | |
anybody an idea?
Here's a quick-and-dirty Manager that uses half the width of the screen. You could put two of these in a HorizontalFieldManager and your layout would look like your picture.
NB: this is not necessarily good Manager design, it's just an example that works.
public class HalfWidthManager extends VerticalFieldManager { private int halfScreenWidth = Display.getWidth() / 2; protected void sublayout(int width, int height) { super.sublayout(getPreferredWidth(), height); setExtent(getPreferredWidth(), getPreferredHeight()); } public int getPreferredWidth() { return halfScreenWidth; } }
Can we set width and height of HFM and VFM object without subclassing them ?
Are there any methods that sets the width and height directly on objects of HFM and VFM .
HorizontalFieldManager mTitleFieldManager = new HorizontalFieldManager(); mTitleFieldManager.anyMethodToSetWidthOrHeight();
Any help ?
"Can we set width and height of HFM and VFM object without subclassing them ?"
There are cases where you can set height to width, using style bits like USE_ALL_WDITH. But these specific layout managers have been designed to take all the width (for HorizontalFieldManager, and height (for VerticalFieldManager) that they need. Given this design criteria, the RIM developers did not feel it necessary to offer the methods you are suggesting.
However there is nothing stopping you writing your own manager that does this, or extending HFM or VFM to attempt to do this. I suggest you try to write your own Manager, the effort of doing this will make you appreciate what is going on in the supplied Managers better too I think.
"Are there any methods that sets the width and height directly on objects of HFM and VFM"
Pretty much the same comments apply to this question too.
Does this help or have I misunderstood the question?
Hi peter
You got everything absolutely correct. Thanks for your reply.
It means we cannot provide hardcoded values (like field.setwidth(100Units) or field.setHeight(100Units)) to the width and height properties of a particular field or manager.
Yes will do the necessary subclassing.

Forums >Racing>Avenue of the Giants race and (mostly) trip report
Nice report, and sounds like your Ave. went much better than my Big Sur (30-40 mph headwinds in parts, ugh). I love that drive in the Smith River Canyon. And now I know where to eat next time I'm through Arcata!
30-40 mph winds- yikes! I've thought about Big Sur a few times, but it is even further away than the Ave. You should write up a report of your race.
They just retired in Grants Pass- you might see them out on hikes or taking some natural history seminars/classes, that kind of thing. I think Christie has joined a hiking group of some sort. They are liberal politically and may get involved on something along that line. Mick also has Saquatch fever, so if there are any sightings, he'll be there. It was lower Table Rock ( I think- the one furthest to the West), what a neat spot- that oak savanna was interesting, too.
good! this town needs more liberal politically minded folks!. My DH and I often get so incredibly exasperated at the mentality of people in this town. I could use a bunch of adjectives to describe it but I'd surely offend some people, but it would be along the lines of right wing wackos.
(we are from Seattle, so quite the change from the progressive area we lived in)
LOL at Sasquatch fever. My son and his best buddy (12 yr olds) love to sleep out in our camper at night in the summertime and do their sasquatch calls and wear their night vision goggles.
Wow, a Pt Townsend native ( I grew up in Mt. Vernon- in Chimacum now). Was '81 the first year for Rhody? I understand it was a full marathon for the first year or two. I just ran it on Sunday for the 15th or 18th or something time- 12K. Great fun and a yearly tradition for me.
I think 1978 was the first year. In 1981 I was enrolled in a high school PE class called Running and Conditioning (or something like that). The race was one of two final tests. The other test was a 10-mile run. I was really slow by 1981 standards (most runners were so thin and fast!), but I loved it. I wonder if kids still have the chance to take classes like that?
Gatsby Bird have you ever run the Dipsea up in Marin county?
Gatsby Bird
have you ever run the Dipsea up in Marin county?
Hey just saw this. No, have not ever done the Dipsea but it's on my bucket list, if I can figure out the right voodoo to get a spot. I grew up in Mill Valley but didn't start running until many years later.
very interesting to see how they accept the entries into the Dipsea. They do openly accept "bribe" money, for real
Apparently the Dipsea bribes go to charity so I can't complain too much about that, although I'm also not quite desperate enough to bribe my way in!
Back on topic: I learned that a running club friend was 4th place female finisher at the Ave this year!

The Truth About Marissa Mayer's Surprise Deal With Google (GOOG, YHOO, MSFT)
Updated 6:22 am, Tuesday, February 19, 2013
A couple weeks ago, Marissa Mayer surprised a lot of people in the industry when the company she runs now, Yahoo, announced plans to outsource some of its ad sales to the company that made her famous and she quit in July, Google.
In a note on its corporate blog, Yahoo said it had signed "a global, non-exclusive agreement with Google to display ads on various Yahoo! properties and certain co-branded sites using Google's AdSense for Content and Google's AdMob services."
The news was surprising for a couple reasons.
- When Mayer quit Google in July for the job at Yahoo, she didn't do it in the friendliest way. A source tells us she gave Google only 30 minutes notice. Then, a couple months later, she poached another Google executive, Henrique De Castro, and made him her number two.
Shortly after Mayer arrived at Yahoo, she squashed a similar deal that her predecessor, interim Yahoo CEO Ross Levinsohn, had in the works.
So, what gives? Why did Mayer do the deal now? What does it mean?
We asked several people in the industry – all of whom happen to be ex-Yahoos, some of whom work at companies that do business with Yahoo.
Here's what they had to say.
Ex-Yahoo #1:
"Marissa certainly wants to move the search deal from Microsoft to Google... Maybe this is the first of a few chess moves."
Ex-Yahoo #2:
That deal has been in the works forever. [Former interim CEO] Ross [Levinsohn] and [former Yahoo corporate development executive Jim] Heckman were pushing for that big time.
The deal addresses two key issues:
Bid density. The hope is that this deal creates a really stable price floor raising rates across the board. Because [Yahoo's display advertising exchange, Right Media] has been under-invested in on many levels, the amount of demand is significantly less than the amount of supply, so economical principals dictate that as such, prices will fall. This deal may impact pricing and yield management that impacts all campaigns all the way through the sales org by creating a new equilibrium point.
If you look at Yahoos financials, their display ad business which is the main one they control (not search) is continuing to decline. Sales leadership is weak and good sales execs continue to leave. This deal signals the fact that they do NOT have a good handle on how to run their own business.
Make no mistake, it's a bandaid. It doesn't address their fundamental issues it just masks the symptoms for awhile.
"Why doesn't Ross Levinsohn just send you the strategic plan that he presented to the board and you'll know what they do next"
Insiders seem to be split on what the deal really means.
But one thing is clear: Yahoo's deal with Microsoft is likely forcing it to accept lower revenue per search than a comparable deal with Google would.
So Mayer would be crazy if she weren't trying to either shift to Google or use Google as leverage to extract a better deal from Microsoft.

I knew there were going to be repercussions from Coco Crisp's hard slide last night. And the Tampa Bay Devil Rays didn't waste any time. In his first at bat, Crisp was hit on the right hip by James Shields. The Boston Red Sox centerfielder charged the mound and both benches emptied for the fight. Shields missed with his right and Coco grazed the pitcher with his. The brawl ensues. Watch it for yourself!

Whereas crow's feet can sometimes give the eyes a worldly look, bags under the eyes and droopy eyelids or brows can give an exhausted or sad appearance. The face can be brightened and restored to a more youthful appearance with blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery. Traditionally done through an incision under the lashes to remove skin and fat, Doctor Berkowitz takes a more logical approach-replacing the protruding fat from the orbit and grafting more fat around the eyes when indicated. The excess skin is tightened overall by the use of the erbium laser or removal of a pinch of skin, if necessary.

Great appartement on a wonderful spot in town. Very relaxed for a London based house. The bed was really good as well and the garden enchanting.
We loved the house, great location near Victoria station, quiet. Delightful owners were very friendly. We were less impressed with the agent who was not friendly. In addition we had to pick up the key in Fulham, far away from public transport. Having caught the Heathrow Express into Paddington, this was very inconvenient. If it had been a weekday it would have been doubly difficult, even with taxis.
The Belgravia Apartment is the place to stay in if you want to be close to the heart of London.
Everything was perfect, the house and Rita
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The Apartment was perfectly fine, the shower could have been warmer ;-) but was promised to fixed, so all good. The 4 day requirement is a bit inflexible for business travelers, since things can change, but I would def. stay there again. It is a wonderful location and it certainly has everything one needs.
Very cosy apartment and lovely surrounding.
The host is very helpful and friendly.
This residence is gorgeous - plenty of high-quality space in a quiet street, just a few steps off Kings Road with what you'll need of good food just round the corner.
Mrs Alessandra Agnello was a very nice, relaxed and helpful agent to receive us and later to see us out. She is precise and to the point, in a most professional way that at the same time makes one feel at home whilst not in doubt what to do.
Highly recommended!
Todo excelente. La acogida de Nicola, el barrio de Brestlavia tan tranquilo y en el centro, la casa con libros y música... Nos hemos sentido como en casa.
Solamente he sugerido que reparen las cortinas y las manillas de las puertas.
Nous avons beaucoup apprecie notre sejour et n'hesiterons pas a y revenir.Maison tres bien placee au coeur de Londres et tres typique.
Sejour tres agreable dans tous les sens du terme

Budget Cruising/Bluewater Cruising
Budget Cruising Given the discussions in another thread regarding cruising (especially bluewater cruising) on a very tight budget, I thought we might take a stab at putting together a list of what would be the BARE MINIMUM of: boats, gear, education to cruise with at least MINIMAL SAFETY. I think this will provide some good insight into the realities of cruising on a budget and the things we have to have and want to have. I hope it will force us all to consider those things that are critical systems and may, in effect, force us to turn back time to a day when many of the gadgets we take for granted were not available. I would like this to be an open discussion. I think those with experience living aboard, cruising, and being offshore will provide the best insight. Be conscious of the advice you give, because there may be many that will read this and follow it. Going offshore, or into the water at all, can be risky business. Best to go prepared. Maybe putting all of our thoughts together we can figure a way to do it on a budget. Thanks. - CD PS THis is the first of what may be several neccessary edits in our discussion: A boat that will be good for cruising North AND South America. A boat that can make the jump to Bermuda. A boat that can make a minimum 5-7 days at sea with at least MINIMUM SAFETY. I also want to discuss the gear required to do that. The boat is only a piece. |
Overly small and simple may be just that. It takes a certain amount of skill and knowledge to make any voyage be it coastal or blue water. Know how to nav. by paper. Electrical problems happen at the worst possible time. KNOW PAPER CHARTS. Race boats are well fit for the race marks, cruisers are well built for cruising. My boat will never race and a small J will not likely cruise. Know your boats purpose and use/exploit it. Buy a bay boat if that is your dream, buy a blue water boat if that is your dream, buy a racer if that is your dream. Crossing the lines dramatically is seldom successful. |
I will not be able to provide a lot into what makes the best boat to go on, as I opt for more of the creature comforts a small boat would not be able to handle.
Things that are important, in any bluewater/cruising boat, in my opinion, are: 1) Tankage. THis is especially true for water. 2) Good seaberth. 3) LOTS of storage, with a lot of that being below the waterline. We take a lot of can goods... others may not. But there will be many things you carry that add negative stability if above the waterline. This will likely be more of a factor on a small boat. 4) A well draining cockpit. I have been pooped once, and should have been who knows how many times before that. I think this is imperative as the time it happened to us were were only 24 hours/120-130 miles from shore. 5) Some method of cooking. I would probably put this as a critical system. 6) Decent lazarette for sails and gear. 7) Windvane or autopilot or the ability to put it on. You cannot make a passage without it if you are singlehanding... at least not safely. I would put this as a critical system too. 8) A SOLID, DRY Cabin with high-end portholes and hatches (the latter if going offshore). 9) Deep bilge and an electric bilge pump. I feel the latter is a mandatory - though this will require a battery. I guess the elctric bilge pump could be debated??? Thoughts? 10) VHF? I feel a handheld is the very minimum. However, could it be debated that you have to have a base unit?? The power/receive will be vastly better. Thoughts? This requires a battery. 11) Intl/Colreg recognized lighting. Mandatory... but could you get buy with a solid white light powered by lamp oil? 12) Sextant, and the ability to properly use it. 13) Charts... paper, not electronic. 14) Radar reflector. I feel this is madatory. Others will dissagree. I am trying to think of a way around batteries, and an engine. I think you can get by without an engine. I am not positive about the batteries. Unfortunately, if you have a battery, you are now forced into a way to charge it. THat means solar (expensive), wind (unreliable and marginally expensive), or an engine (which now is maintenance, weight, fuel, spare parts, etc). THoughts??? - CD |
Sailor Preparation:
I think that education is probably the most important part of the three. Without a proper background and skills, trying to go bluewater in a budget boat is going to be be far more dangerous than it would be otherwise. Also, they need to have some pretty solid sailing experience IMHO. The Boat: The next most important thing is having a good boat with solid bones. Some boats are far better suited for this than others... some good pocket cruisers include: most of the small Alberg designs: Cape Dory 25, Pearson Ariel, Triton, Alberg 30, etc. The Albin Vega, Southern Cross 28/31, Elizabethan 31, Flicka, PSC Dana 24, Westsail 32, and Bristol 29.9 are also good choices. Some small multihulls that would be good choices are the Heavenly Twins 26, Catalac 8m, and the Iroquois. Some of the Cross, Piver and Brown designs are quite good, but most were home built, and will probably have construction and durabilty issues, so I'd avoid them unless you have special knowledge of them. Boat Gear: IMHO can be relatively minimal. This is especially true on a smaller boat, since it won't have the ability to support a lot of the more complicated systems found on larger boats. It also doesn't make sense to stock up on expensive systems that aren't well suited to the pocket cruising lifestyle or mentatlity. Books: John Vigor's book, Twenty Small Sailboats to Take You Anywhere is a good starting point for anyone thinking about doing this. The Pardeys have written quite a bit about this, and I'd recommend their books and Don Casey's The Sensible Cruiser as starting points for the budget cruiser's library. Thomas Firth Jones's Multihull Voyaging is a good book for those interested in budget cruising in a multihull. Navigation Gear: Paper charts, a GPS, hand-bearing compass, dividers, parallel rule, pencils, binoculars are a minimum. While I'd agree with most of what CD said, I think the lighting depends on what size boat you've got. A masthead tricolor is probably a necessity for offshore work, and deck level lights for in-hoarbor/coastal work. |
Sextant? I think we are long past the sextant era.
Bringing a sextant (very expensive) requires all the appropriate books (very expensive) and the knowledge to do the calcs. I'll take a boatload of GPS receivers first. Cheap, no books, no calcs, better accuracy, works in all lighting and weather conditions. |
A GPS requires batteries. It is something else to fail. Given the minimum amount of space, money, and other saftey gear, I elected to take it off of the mandatory list.
The truth is that you can get a handeld lat/lon gps very inexpensively. However, what if it fails offshore? You have a backup? Backups start costing money. What if you got swamped? I do not want this to turn into another sextant thread. I carry one on my boat, but I am not one of the people that advocates it either. I feel a solid gps and backup(s) are the way to go... but I am not budget minded. I am thinking bare minimum. Would you still opt out of the GPS in place of a... Cape Dory 25, for example?? Thoughts? - CD |
To back up what you said, SD, I would put good seamanship above almost anything. That takes a lot of time to develop and, in theory, costs nothing.
Non-chartplotting GPS units are relatively cheap... you can get two or three for the price of a sextant, and many can be powered by both AA batteries and the house bank on the boat, with a proper power cord.
Yup... Seamanship is key to bluewater sailing on a small boat. I wouldn't say a Drascombe Lugger is a particularly good choice as a bluewater cruiser, but Webb Chiles was able take one 3/4 of the way around the world in a near circumnavigation.
Actually, technically, it was two Drascombe Luggers, since one got confiscated in Egypt. Quote:

TORONTO – Embattled Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is being sued by his sister's ex-boyfriend for allegedly conspiring to have the man beaten in jail to prevent Ford's illicit behaviors from becoming known.
A lawsuit submitted Wednesday by Scott MacIntyre alleges the mayor was behind an assault at a Toronto jail in March 2012 that was intended to keep MacIntrye quiet about Ford's abuse of alcohol and drugs.
The lawsuit alleges MacIntrye was threatened with "dire consequences" if he did not remain quiet. He was in jail after being charged with threatening the mayor, for saying he would expose his "unsavory activities," the lawsuit says.
MacIntrye alleges Ford conspired with Payman Aboodowleh, who coached football with Ford, to have one of their former players, who was also in jail at the time, to beat MacIntyre up.
Ford and Aboodowleh arranged for staff members at the Metro West Detention Centre to "ensure "there was no supervision or surveillance of the area" where the alleged assault occurred, the lawsuit says.
Ford's lawyer, Dennis Morris, said the allegations are "without fact or foundation."
When questioned further if the mayor had conspired in any way to harm MacIntyre, Morris said, "The answer is no."
Ford offered no comment when reporters asked him about the lawsuit.
The mayor acknowledged last year that he had smoked crack, but he has rebuffed pressure to resign.
The lawsuit also names Ontario's Ministry of Correctional Services, which is responsible for the province's jails, Aboodowleh and Aedan Petros, the former football player who MacIntyre alleges attacked him.
MacIntyre is seeking $1 million in damages.

Russian police detain opposition leader Navalny at Moscow protest
MOSCOW, March 26 Russian police detained opposition leader Alexei Navalny in central Moscow on Sunday at a rally which Navalny had called to protest against corruption.
* Wall Street lower as profit-taking sets in * Gold falls with drop in dollar * Oil declines on worries over demand in China By Leah Schnurr NEW YORK, July 26 The dollar fell to a five-week low on Friday on expectations the Federal Reserve will underline its intention to keep interest rates low for a long time at its upcoming policy meeting, while stocks fell as investors took profits from recent gains. The drop in the dollar pulled gold lower, though bullion was still on track for a third week of gains. But oil, which typically benefits from a weaker dollar, slipped on worries about falling demand in China, the world's second-largest energy consumer. The dollar has tumbled this month as Fed officials have moved to soothe concerns about plans to withdraw stimulus. A Wall Street Journal report published online on Thursday contributed to the greenback's latest fall. It said the Fed, which will begin a two-day policy meeting on Tuesday, may debate tweaking its forward guidance message to hammer home that it will not raise rates any time soon. The dollar was down 0.4 percent against a basket of currencies. The greenback earlier hit 81.548, its lowest since June 20 and just above chart support at 81.506, its 200-day moving average. In addition to the Fed's meeting, the market's tone next week could be determined by a round of U.S. economic indicators, culminating in the government's monthly report on non-farm payrolls on Friday. "Folks are just treading water. They just want to see the big numbers next week to get some directional guidance," said Samarjit Shankar, director of market strategy at BNY Mellon in Boston. The dollar's slide began on July 10, when minutes of the Fed's June meeting gave investors second thoughts about when the U.S. central bank would start reducing stimulus. Last month the Fed said it expects to start slowing the pace of its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases later this year. Chairman Ben Bernanke has since stressed that the timeline is not set in stone and could change if the economic outlook shifts, comments that soothed Wall Street and the bond market. The dollar's weakness pushed the euro to a five-week high of $1.3296. But it erased gains to last trade at $1.3277, slightly lower on the day. U.S. stocks were lower in afternoon trading as investors took in a busy week of earnings results. Among the major companies to report, shares of Amazon.com were up 2.9 percent after earlier hitting a record. The company reported a second-quarter loss on Thursday but its domestic business expanded quickly. More than a half dozen investment banks raised their share price targets on Amazon on Friday. The Dow Jones industrial average was down 37.65 points, or 0.24 percent, at 15,517.96. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 2.80 points, or 0.17 percent, at 1,687.45. The Nasdaq Composite Index was up 0.79 points, or 0.02 percent, at 3,605.98. With the S&P 500 up about 18 percent for the year, Friday provided an opportunity for modest profit-taking. For the week, the S&P is down about 0.4 percent, its first down week in five, but the index is up 4.9 percent so far this month, its best month since January. The Nasdaq is up 5.5 percent for July so far, its best monthly gain in a year and half. Six of the 10 S&P 500 industry sectors declined and 22 of the 30 Dow components were also down. . "Traders are booking in profits, knowing that next week you're going to have some significant data that could dictate a large move in all asset prices to the upside or downside," said Drew Nordlicht, managing director and partner at HighTower San Diego. "Next week couldn't be a more pivotal, economically packed week." The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note was up 4/32, the yield at 2.5605 percent. The pan-regional FTSEurofirst 300 closed down 0.3 percent, its first weekly drop in over a month. World stocks slipped 0.2 percent. Nevertheless, it was a milestone day for Europe, marking one year since ECB President Mario Draghi's "Whatever it takes" speech that turned the tide in the euro zone debt crisis. Italy and Spain have seen their two-year bond yields fall from 5 and 6.4 percent, respectively, before Draghi's speech, to under 2 percent, saving them immense amounts in interest payments. Gold slipped but was still on course for a third weekly gain. Spot gold fell about 0.9 percent on the day to $1,321.69 per ounce as buyers cashed in on the day's $1,340 peak, up around $150 from the three-year low hit on June 28. Brent futures for September dropped 48 cents to $107.17 per barrel after posting a 46-cent gain on Thursday. U.S. light crude for September settled down 79 cents at $104.70 a barrel. Oil prices were dampened by worries over demand from China after China's industry ministry ordered companies across 19 industries to close outdated capacity by the end of September.

Building bonds among Jewish youth is an important foundation for strengthening the future cohesion of the religious community.
Jewish summer camps, which became popular in the early 20th century, bring together Jewish youth who would otherwise not have met while also using this social atmosphere to reinforce Jewish teachings.
In order to do this, Camp Lown, which opened in 1945 in Oakland, held traditional Shabbat services on Friday night. Camps like Lown encouraged Jewish youth to associate their religious tradition with fun and strong communal bonds.
Research has demonstrated that Jews who attend summer camp are more likely to be involved in the Jewish community later in life.

5 Reasons Owning Scroll Saws Will Change Your Life
If you are in the woodworking business, why would you want to have a scroll saw machine in your arsenal? It is actually a very convenient tool to have, since it is better than using a coping saw or the bandsaw when it comes to working with wood and doing intricate patterns. The scroll saw is a machine that is either operated by a pedal or powered by electricity, which is similar to how a sewing machine looks like. However, instead of using a thread and needle to stitch together cloth or putting a pattern on it, the scroll saw makes use of blades of varying degree in order to create intricate patterns. While the machine itself is quite popular amongst woodworkers, it is also used for other types of materials such as metal. The name of the machine is derived from the traditional utilization of making the scrollwork, which are sculptural ornaments that are featured a lot in scroll-head styles, like the ones on scrollking.
So much for the official background of what woodworking is capable of, especially with this machine, you need to learn more about what the reasons are with considering to own a scroll saw machine.
One of the most popular reasons why a lot of woodworkers prefer to have the scroll saw machine is because it is very quiet when it is running. It doesn't create a lot of dust or particular shavings dealt with slicing and making patterns from the machine.
One thing that makes a scroll saw so convenient to use is that you can make a lot of woodworking projects with it. You may have already seen a lot of woodworking projects at the malls wherein they customize according to your order. There are also some pre-made such as the shape of a deer, or the details of the head of a particular animal. You often see them in different shapes, patterns and sizes which are grouped together to form a particular style. The machine is widely used amongst creating wood decorations that can't be done quickly with the use of manual machines like the coping saw, not to mention they can get quite painful when you use it in sawing through hard wood. You can even make delicate, small ornaments used for decorating the walls or the Christmas tree. You can find a lot more patterns, especially the ones that you have designed on your own.
Another reason is that it is great for kids! Some kids love to play with the tools used in woodworking, but most of them are too dangerous that they might be cutting themselves rather than the material they are working with. If your kids have the urge in creating various woodworking projects, it is best to let them work with the scroll saw machine instead. Kids as early as 8 years old can start working with the machine, with the guidance of an adult on how to operate it.
The patterns that you can create on your woodworking projects are easily done with the scroll saw machine. Did you know that you can create interior cutouts without making any entry slot? All you need to do is remove the blade, insert the wood onto where the blade lies beneath and attached the blade again.
You are also able to control the speed of the blade using its variable speed dial. The use of the speed is to adjust it depending on the kind of material you are going to use.
There are probably more reasons why woodworkers or handicrafts people love to use the scroll saw, but these are just some of the common reasons. You might find more when you experience using it on your own woodworking projects.
Coolest Metal Detector Finds – Unexpected Discoveries
Underground relics, metal bombs from ancient times, gold treasures etc. All of these mind blowing hidden treasures can possibly found using a Metal Detector. This machine was intentionally made to find unrevealed wealth. If compass can guide you on places where you are not familiar with, metal detectors will help you discover secret treasure and not all machines are capable of doing such incredible thing.
Furthermore, metal detector can also detect land mines which is until now used by military people. This device is also used in airfields in many countries nowadays to secure the security of all people that is around the area. There is a broad ability that this machine can do. Really expect the unexpected when it comes to metal detector. There were plenty of discoveries that this device already made that until now creates goose bumps when you talk about it.

4. Know where you want to focus
A big mistake that many women make is thinking that shapewear will "fix" all the areas they want to support. Sometimes that can happen, but oftentimes it doesn't.

This highlights the need to think about the areas you want to focus on. That will help you to determine which shapewear best meets your needs.
5. Set a budget
This will help you not to spend more than you want to budget for your shapewear. It's OK to spend a little more than you've budgeted for your clothing. However, it's also important to try to stay within your budget as much as possible.

Comment Re:If this intellectual property is like your hous (Score 1) 309
So as I said before, I don't believe the government can do anything for $1/year, the administration alone of recording the request would easily be a hundredfold more expensive. Let alone validate that the request is original and deserves copyright.
Secondly, if I have to request copyright globally, because my website is global, then it's not $1/year but with 200 countries worldwide a lot more. If any country decides that copyright has to be requested in person, or it costs $1000,-, or it's only accessable by locals, then it becomes impossible for consumers to get worldwide copyright.
If I make a digital creation and somebody pirates it in for instance Congo, I'm probably not loosing a potential customer and missing money. However if that same person uploads my creation online then anyone worldwide can download this. They are downloading a creation from a Congo-lean which is not copyrighted in any country worldwide. That this person would not have been entitled to create this if he would have lived in a country with copyright is regardless, he did nothing illegal in his country and you download an unprotected work.
That means that downloading and sharing of every single creation, protected or not, is completely legal as long as somebody in an uncopyrighted country copied it at some point.
Your idea would basically make it impossible to create copyrighted content and protect it, given that we live a global economy.
Same thing here. If a work is worthless to you, so be it; that's your decision to make. But I see no reason to help you attack someone else who was willing to take a chance. Especially since there'd be no copyright, which means that anyone, including you, could still directly compete with them.
I'm not saying a work is worthless to me, it's just not worth to pay thousands of dollars a year to protect it globally. And without it, if you succeeded with your idea locally you have no ability to go global because somebody else has very likely already copied it there. It also means that if I make a significant investment to create something, be it money or time, if I don't instantly copyright it globally people can freely copy my work into that nation, saturate the market and make it impossible to sell my idea there.
I fully agree with you that the current system is flawed, but you are converting it to the patent system which in my opinion is way more flawed then the copyright system at this point. I personally think the proper solution should be in reasonable terms after which copyright ends together with clear and useful fair use legislation. And also add clear and appropriate punishment for copyright violation. I'm from the Netherlands and I find the current law here that downloading is not illegal but uploading is quite reasonable.
However as soon as you start putting tax in this on a per country basis you break the entire worldwide market of digital and easily copy-able goods. That makes it near impossible for consumers to earn money online and would break the whole economy of websites, ebooks, movies, music and anything else that is effortless to copy.

Hitting Surge Continues as Peterson Belts Two Home Runs
April 6, 2013 SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Paige Peterson had no explanation for how she hit three home runs in one day. All she knew was that her pair of round-trippers Saturday afternoon helped light up the scoreboard in DePaul's 11-0, six-inning victory over Syracuse. That gave the Blue Demons a sweep of the BIG EAST Conference doubleheader after Mary Connolly's home run, triple and five RBIs in game one had led to a 15-6, six-inning triumph. DePaul (22-13, 9-1 in the BIG EAST) has now won nine of its last 10 games and has scored 44 runs in its last three games. "I never hit three home runs in one day in my whole life---youth softball, travel ball, anywhere," Peterson said. "Every pitch you hit over the fence looks down the middle. "On my home run in the first game, I knew an inside pitch was coming so I took a step back. On the other two homers, I was just seeing the ball well. Everything looks good." Peterson's solo shot in the second inning staked DePaul to a quick lead. Her two-run shot in the fourth and Bree Brown's two-run homer made it 5-0. Kirsten Verdun joined the home run derby with a two-run shot in the sixth. That six-run inning also included Connolly's two-run single, a Hannah Penna RBI single and a manufactured run. "It was a slugfest," said DePaul coach Eugene Lenti. "They are really hitting the ball well, and we had seven home runs in the doubleheader. "We try to take a simple approach. Be aggressive and go after the good pitches right away. There's no logical reason for it. Hitting is such a fickle thing. Let's just ride the wave." It was like a mini tidal wave as the Blue Demons outscored Syracuse 26-6 in the doubleheader and cranked out a total of 28 hits on the day. Just three days earlier, Penna had six RBIs in an 18-5, five-inning conference triumph over Seton Hall. "We have a lot of good hitters on this team," said Peterson who had five RBIs in the doubleheader. "If we all show up, this is what's going to happen every single time. "We have a lot of talent and we work hard taking extra batting practice to get better. We feed off each other. When one player starts hitting the ball, we all think we can do it." Overshadowed by the offensive flurry was the stellar effort of winning pitcher Hannah Penna. The junior right-hander shut down Syracuse (13-19, 1-4) on just two hits and finished with eight strikeouts and two walks. DePaul will go for the series sweep with a 10 a.m. game against the Orange on Sunday. NOTES: Peterson hit three home runs on Saturday while Connolly, Verdun, Staci Bonezek and Bree Brown each had one... Connolly had seven RBIs in the twin bill while Peterson and Verdun each had five RBIs and Dodd, Bonezek and Brown each had a pair of RBIs... Verdun was 5-for-7 in the doubleheader and Connolly 4-for-6... Dodd went 5-for-8, Peterson 3-for-7 while Allie Braden, Bonezek and Brown each had two hits on the day... in the stretch of nine wins in the last 10 games, the Blue Demons have scored 11 runs in a game, 13 runs twice, 15 and 18.
