Sharmeka Moffitt, 20, remains in critical condition at LSU Medical Center burn center in Shreveport, LA, two days after she was attacked and set on fire by three men dressed in white hoodies.
STORY: Really?! Black Woman Attacked & Burned By 3 Men Wearing White Hoods
Last night her mother spoke out, saying that Moffitt has sustained burns over 60 percent of her body.
According to The News-Star:
Her mother Edna Moffitt and family members spoke to reporters Monday afternoon at the medical center. Moffitt said her daughter could be hospitalized for a month or longer.
Moffitt said the family was shocked by the attack.
"I have never known anything like this to happen in Winnsboro," Moffitt said.
The attack happened Sunday evening at Civitan Park in Winnsboro, Louisiana while Sharmeka was walking in the park on a paved trail.
While authorities have not declared the attack on Moffitt a hate crime, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is involved in the investigation along with state and local authorities.
The FBI defines a hate crime as a traditional offense like murder, arson or vandalism, but with an added element of bias.
Congress has defined a hate crime as a "criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, ethnic origin or sexual orientation."
A hate crime is not a distinct federal offense, however, the federal government can and does investigate and prosecute crimes of bias as civil rights violations, which fall under its jurisdiction.
Moffitt could not confirm the race of the attackers.
According to reports, her car was painted with a racial slur and the letters "KKK," her family said. Moffitt called 911 to report the attack, but was unable to identify her attackers.
Louisiana State Trooper Albert Paxton said this morning police are analyzing DNA gathered from the scene of an attack on a woman in Civitan Park in Winnsboro with hopes it will identify suspects in a crime that could have been racially motivated.
Moffitt is set to undergo surgery at LSU Health Sciences Center in Shreveport today as she remains in critical condition.
"We're analyzing DNA evidence with hopes that we can find some matches,"
Our thoughts and prayers are with Moffitt as she undergoes surgery today.

Ask-A-Linguist Message Details
Subject: | Non-native pronunciation of English |
Question: | Many German adults learning English pronounce ''the'' something like ''ze'', whereas many Dutch pronounce it as ''de''. Neither German nor Dutch have a voiced /th/, but both languages have /d/ and /z/. So why does one language tend towards /z/ while the other tends to /d/? |
Reply: | This interesting question relates to a current trend in sociolinguistics. For the last 30+ years, we have talked about dialectal variation in English in the following places: 1. countries where English has been a dominant native language for several generations and where a large proportion of the population have ancestors who came from Britain (UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada) -- Braj Kachru called these the 'Inner Circle'. 2. countries which were colonies of the UK (and, in a couple of cases, of the USA) and where English retains an important part in communication inside the country (such as India, Nigeria, Philippines). There may be large numbers of native speakers, but few of them have ancestors who came from Britain. Kachru called these 'Outer Circle'. We did not talk about the third kind of country as having dialects of English, though: 3. countries where English is not used within the country (except in classes or with foreigners)and is almost never a native language. Kachru called these 'Expanding Circle'. It is only in the last 10 years or so that there has begun to be serious study of the use of English in the Expanding Circle. One thing that is emerging is that these countries have dialects of English too, so they have their own traditions of pronouncing English. Most of these pronunciations will be transmitted from teachers to students in the process of learning English, and (like all accents) will be reinforced by hearing English spoken by one's peers. Native speakers of English from (for example) the UK who have moved to (for example) Germany as a child sometimes find that if they retain their native accent, they are laughed at in English classes, and they adapt by speaking English with a German accent. If you look at migrants in places like France or Germany, you can see that their children will acquire the English-accent of their place of upbringing rather than the one associated with their language of origin. A child who migrated from Vietnam to Germany at age 8, for example, will grow up speaking English with a German accent, while another child who grew up in Spain will learn English will a Spanish accent.

Bug Buffet
Trip Start
Dec 16, 2009
Trip End
Jan 09, 2010
But what was really scary were the roaches that we encountered in the room last night - still not as big as the ones in the Canary Islands (see blog entry entitled "Is that a cockroach, or a small dog?" http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog-entries/pwong/canaries-2007/1198797120/tpod.html), but still rather large. Smart little buggers too, as they quickly hid when I tried squashing one of them. I had been keeping a little bag of cookies in my backpack, and decided to move that outside of the room, in case it was attracting them. I left it on a table out in the sitting area last night, and when we woke up this morning, it was gone. It could have been the Riad's workers cleaning up, but I don't doubt that these giant roaches walked by and took the entire bag!
Mary was quite concerned last night that they would crawl all over her as she slept, since she's now been traumatized by the repeated feasts that fleas/bugs have had on her legs over the past four trips. She's become quite a popular Bug Buffet with various insects.
Up at 6 AM to get ready and pack up for the start our 3-day tour to the Sahara dessert. Despite the limited amount of sleep, it was quite a good night's rest, as it was some pretty high-quality sleep. The minivan came to pick us up and continued on to the Place, where additional guests boarded. I am sad to report that it wasn't like in the pictures shown to me last night by the tour rep, and there were no Spanish females on board :( I quietly sobbed in a little corner of the van ...
The tour is quite inexpensive, so our driver didn't function as much of a guide, only occasionally announcing where we were stopping. Really, all we were paying for is transportation to and from the departure point for the camel tour into the Sahara.
We later stopped for a bathroom break, where I picked up some mint tea in the hopes of warming up - no such luck! But it did help ward off motion sickness later on, as the van whipped around tight and twisty little corners up in the mountains.
There is some very interesting scenery in the mountains and valleys of Morocco, which is quite unexpected, given the common notion that it's purely a land of desert and Nomads. Interesting rock formations, palm trees, and streams ... some of the valleys are much greener than you would expect.
Our stop for the evening was somewhere in the Dades Gorge - a very cold hotel! Though temperatures are much lower in Canada, the inside of buildings are frigid here because they lack any sort of heating or insulation. Too bad it was dark by the time we arrived, because the hotel's terrace probably had spectacular views of the stream located at the base of a rock face. The hotel's basement was pretty creepy - dark, and ominous.
The dining hall was the only place that was warm in the entire building, with a fireplace and a propane heater fired up. We wanted to sleep in the dining hall because it was so warm, but unfortunately, had to trudge back up to our little igloo of a room. It wasn't so bad once you were underneath the sheets and three blankets, but once you stepped out it was a shock to the system. It was a long, cold night in the dessert!

Editors' Review
+Red-eye: In horror movies, it's usually a bad sign. It's a bad sign in your snapshots, too. Now that digital cameras are everywhere, so is red-eye. Fortunately, so are free tools to remove redeye from your digital snapshots. Like Free Red-eye Reduction Tool, which is both an accurate name and apt description for this simple photo editing app. LifeSniffer's free tool makes it supereasy to correct red-eye from portraits and groups, removing the (occasionally alarming) effect that can make family snapshots look like horror movie stills with just a few mouse clicks.
Free Red-eye Reduction Tool's user interface is compact and basic in its features, but efficient, with everything you need right on the toolbar. This toolbar's controls let us move, copy, and adjust the image and display scale; save and print images, and other basic operations, including copying whole or selected areas to the clipboard. We started by opening an image to correct, and we didn't have to search very hard to find a snapshot haunted by ghoulish red-eye in our Pictures library. This program is largely automatic in operation: Open a photo, zoom in on the red-eye, select the area by dragging with left mouse button clicked, and let the button go. The tool does the rest, though if you don't like the results, you can lighten or darken them using a slider. Icons let us save all modifications to the image or save them as a copy to a specific location. Free Red-eye Reduction Tool did the job on our examples on the first attempt. Help file? It don't need no ... well, you get the idea. But this program is very easy to use, with nothing hidden and nothing to set.
We've used other red-eye correction tools, and they're not especially challenging, but we've never seen one as quick and easy as this one before now. Banish red-eye from your photo collection before the zombies and demons take it over, with help from Free Red-eye Reduction Tool.

Community members provide input at first public session
ST. MARYS - The school district and Fanning - Howey Associates hosted a community meeting Thursday night seeking public input on school facilities: build, renovate or make do with what's there now.
About 60 people attended the meeting at St. Marys East Elementary School, and, after the breakout session, highlighted what they believe needs done and what preconceptions need to be addressed.
"Bogus," was the pronouncement of Memorial High School senior Brandon Kill, representing his breakout group.
"The idea that 'the (high) school (building) was good enough for me and it's good enough for my grandchildren' is just bogus," he said as he listed many areas that need updating and/or replacing. Among those concerns is parking, technology, classroom size, antiquated climate control and other burdens of an 85-year-old building.
School board Vice President Craig Gottschalk and Fanning - Howey representatives Steve Wilczynski, Gene Scholes and John Clark welcomed the group with the fine points of the Ohio School Facilities Commission.
OSFC is the multi-billion dollar initiative set in motion in 1997 by Senate Bill 102. The commission's charge is to provide funding, management oversight and technical assistance to Ohio school districts for construction and renovation of school facilities.
St. Marys recently was moved from 244 in the ranking of districts to receive state funds to 234. The state finished 29 districts last year ending with 207.
"It's fairly definite St. Marys will be eligible for funding in 2008 and possibly in 2007," said Wilczynski, Fanning/Howey principal in charge of the St. Marys project.
The district is starting afresh with planning for OSFC funds. The 2001 levy, which voters nixed in 2001, and its inter-related master plan for new buildings are both past history.
Options now run the gamut from do nothing to small additions/renovations to brand new facilities. At the end of the meeting each audience member received a handheld remote to vote on various possibilities.
The group on Thursday night voted 74 percent for separate middle and high schools. Another vote showed 16 percent for grade level schools, as opposed to neighborhood schools as exists now.
The majority favored keeping Skip Baughman Field at its current location.
"We're extremely pleased with the number of people attending this evening. This is a great beginning," Scholes told The Daily Standard. "We'll take all we'll learn at these public meetings and inform the board of education (at the October 11 meeting)."
The next three meetings, which will present the exact same format and information, are set for 7 p.m. Tuesday at West Elementary School, 7 p.m. Thursday at McBroom cafeteria and 10 a.m. Oct. 2 at the Community Public Library.

HI-TEC is 100% confident there is no better way to put their ion-mask HPi footwear to the test than by supplying Martin Dreyer, one of the most respected multi-sport athletes and adventure racers in the world, with the latest in hydrophobic HPi trail running footwear – the V-Lite Infinity Pro!
Change a life
Martin Dreyer has won the gruelling Dusi Canoe Marathon seven times but in January 2008 made history when he and Michael Mbanjwa, a young man from the Valley of a Thousand Hills (Kwazulu Natal, South Africa) won together.
Martin was appalled at the harsh living conditions these young black sportsmen, who mostly grow up and live next to the Dusi River, endure and so Martin set about developing his "Change a life" Academy. With sponsorship from Computershare, USN and HI-TEC. Martin is making a difference in his quest to change lives.
HI-TEC fully support Martin's "Change a Life" program and has supplied him and his team with the V-Lite Infinity Pro to compete with in the Dusi Canoe marathon. This is no ordinary challenge. Martin hand-picked his team from rural villages in Natal where they all were essentially cattle herders and never had any experience in a boat or canoe.
Martin Dreyer's Change a Life Team certainly exceeded his wildest
expectations. In his words "Going into this Dusi, because I wasn't paddling, I never thought
I could be on 'cloud nine'. I was wrong; I'm still floating – ecstatic with the boys'
performance and extremely proud of their achievements. Two Dusi golds and seven in
the top twenty – someone please pinch me!"
"Adversity is the breakfast of champions"
A true son of the African soil, Martin's outlook on life is "Adversity is the breakfast of champions" and there is no such thing as "bad weather, just soft people".
As we know Africa infects the soul and in this world of chaos where poverty and hopelessness reign supreme, a humble young man has taken it upon himself to make a difference.
(See below for more information about Martin Dreyer)
Born in 1968, Martin was your typical White River 'plaasjapie' whose secondary school years at Woodridge College in Port Elizabeth did nothing to dampen his passion for the outdoors. He spent more energy on hang-gliding, underwater hockey, climbing, lifesaving, running and scuba diving at UCT than he did on studies. In 1993, armed with a BCom degree, Martin took off for the West Coast of Canada and spent the next six years enduring the hardships of commercial fishing in the icy cold waters of the Pacific Ocean. That experience taught him many new skills and life lessons, but most of all the dawning realisation that there had to be more to life!
HI-TEC have signed an exclusive sponsorship deal with Martin whose accolade of achievements include Land Rover G4 World Champion, 7 times Dusi Canoe Marathon Champion and top international adventure racer competing in the Raid Finals & Adventure Racing World Championships, to name a few!!

Mandi Abdo arrives in Toledo Municipal Court for arraignment. She is accused of murder, aggravated burglary, and aggravated robbery in a Feb. 6 break-in at the home of 83-year-old Cecelia Sobecki. Police say Ms. Sobecki was pushed to the floor twice during a robbery and died two days afterward. The Lucas County coroner ruled her death a homicide.

A woman accused of murder, aggravated burglary, and aggravated robbery this month involving an 83-year-old Toledo woman has been ordered held in jail on a $1 million bond.
Mandi Abdo, 25, of 1248 Yates St., who is charged in the Feb. 6 crime at the North Toledo home of Cecelia Sobecki, was arraigned Monday in Toledo Municipal Court. Ms. Abdo s preliminary hearing was set for Monday.
Ms. Sobecki, of 567 Austin St., died Feb. 8 in St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center. The Lucas County coroner ruled her death a homicide. Police said she was pushed to the floor twice when she refused to hand over money.
During the arraignment in front of Judge Robert Christiansen, Ms. Abdo stared at the floor most of the time.
Her family members left the courtroom immediately after the arraignment, refusing any comment.
Family members of the victim were not in the courtroom.
Ms. Adbo was a suspect in a couple of other burglaries that occurred during the past several weeks when police put out a Crime Stopper request seeking information about Ms. Sobecki s death, authorities said.
She became a suspect in Ms. Sobecki s death after police said they received several calls.
Aware that police were looking for her, Ms. Adbo called investigators and made an appointment to be interviewed by them, Toledo police Sgt. Phil Toney said.
A lengthy interview took place Friday night, after which she was arrested and charged in the case, the sergeant said.
In October, 1998, Ms. Abdo, who at the time was a runaway 15-year-old foster child, was shot in the back during a dispute with a 19-year-old man, according to an earlier story in The Blade.
Wanted at the time on two petty theft warrants for allegedly shoplifting candy and personal hygiene products, she failed to appear for a hearing that month in Lucas County Juvenile Court.
Instead, she ran away, The Blade story said.
She s not violent. She s addicted to the streets, said Felissa Parker, her foster mother at the time.
In the story, she described the girl as generally well behaved and conscientious about school and her chores.

Is there any way to separate out the environment name from the build configuration for the web.config transforms? Currently the transforms are only applied when the environment name matches a build configuration exactly.
We have a solution that is a shared code base between a few different projects so we have many different transforms but they are actually the same environment.
e.g. project1-uat, project2-uat etc
I would like to just have 1 single UAT environment within deployment manager but be able to specify the build configuration on each deployment. Currently the dashboard looks a mess with 12 different environments (4 for each project).
Ideally I would like to say to deployment manager
Deploy Project1 to UAT using Environment="UAT" and Configuration="Project1-UAT" but I can't find a way of doing that.
Is this even possible?

Jules Laforgue, who did not receive the critical appreciation he deserved in France until the mid twentieth century, remained outside the established patterns of French middle-class life for most of his twenty-seven years. The second of eleven children, Laforgue was born in Montevideo in 1860 to young French parents, and moved to France aged six, to Tarbes, the hometown of his father, a teacher. In 1867 his parents returned to Uruguay, leaving Jules and his older brother Emile in the care of their cousin's family. Following the parents' return, the reunited family moved to Paris in October 1876, only for Laforgue's mother to die in childbirth the following April.

Gnome 3.8 Released
The new Gnome release includes privacy and sharing settings, allowing more user control over access to personal information.
The Gnome Project has officially released Gnome 3.8. According to the website, this latest version provides new features, fixes, and improvements and is the outcome of six months of effort by Gnome developers and their partners and contains 35,936 contributions by approximately 960 people.
Gnome 3.8 includes new privacy and sharing settings that let users control who can access content on their computer, how much personal information is displayed, and whether activity-tracking features should be enabled. Newly added OwnCloud integration additionally lets users track activities and protect personal information.
Gnome 3.8 also includes a new view for launching applications. The "Frequent" tab shows the most commonly used applications, and the "All" tab shows all of your applications to make it easier to find them. Gnome's web browser also has been enhanced to provide a faster web experience, and animation rendering has been improved for smooth transitions and window resizing.
The latest release now comes with Gnome Classic, which offers a more traditional desktop experience. According to the website, Gnome Classic configures the desktop to include popular Gnome 2 features but provides the underlying power of Gnome 3 technologies.

Coming into the season one of the bigger questions was whether or not Robinson Cano was ready to hit out of the no. 5 spot in the Yankees lineup. Afterall, protecting Alex Rodriguez in the batting order is a big deal.
If that question wasn't answered on opening day when Cano went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI, and a run scored there probably were no doubters left when he started off with a 10-game hitting streak that saw him crush four home runs. By the end of April he had a line of .400/.436/.765/1.201 with eight homers and 18 RBI's.
That hot start has turned into a hot season. Cano has maintained a .323 average, a .945 OPS to go along with 36 doubles, 25 home runs, and 87 RBI's. He hasn't even trailed off as the season has progressed, putting up a 155 OPS+ the first half and a 158 OPS+ so far in the second half. Even the knock against him last season, that he couldn't hit with runners in scoring position, has been forgotten thanks to a 147 OPS+ in those situations this year.
Cano's bat doesn't tell the whole story about just how good he's been in 2010 as his glove work has been equally superb. He's got soft hands, a quick transition on double plays. His range is good, not great, but his strong arm makes up for that. Combine all of that together and he is second in UZR with a 3.2 only behind Orlando Hudson in the American League.
Unfortunately for Cano, Miguel Cabrera and Josh Hamilton play in the same league and those two players are having absolutely monster seasons.
Cabrera leads the trio in OPS+ with a 186. He has 40 doubles , 33 home runs, and 106 RBI's. He's even walked more than he's struck out, 79 BB vs. 77 SO. He is ahead of Cano in runs, doubles, home runs, RBI, BB, batting average, OBP, slugging, and OPS. The only way Cabrera might not take the MVP is because his team isn't going to make the playoffs.
That brings us to Hamilton. Hamilton's season is only slightly less impressive than Cabrera's and he's carrying his team to an AL West title. With a league leading .357 batting average, 30 home runs, and a 1.042 OPS he leads Cano in runs, hits, doubles, homers, RBI, stolen bases, average, OBP, slugging, and OPS.
The thing that Cano has going for him that could help him get back in the MVP race is his defense and his position up the middle. Cabrera is a below average defender and plays first base, a non-premium position. Hamilton is average in center and slightly below average in left, where he gets most of his starts. If he was a full-time starter in center field than he might be equal to or even have a slight edge over Cano defensively, but 90 starts in left vs. just 38 in center.
Looking at WAR, wins above replacement which takes into account defensive ability and position, this is a pretty close race. Cabrera leads the three with a 6.3 WAR, Cano is second at 6.2 and Hamilton is pulling up the rear at 5.7. However, when you break down the numbers, I just can't see Cano beating out either of these two stars who are having huge seasons.
I'm sure not everyone will agree with my assessment so here are the stats for the trio and you can decide:
Rk | G | AB | R | H | 2B | HR | RBI | BB | SO | BA | OBP | SLG | OPS | OPS+ ▾ | |
1 | Miguel Cabrera | 127 | 461 | 92 | 157 | 40 | 33 | 106 | 79 | 77 | .341 | .435 | .646 | 1.082 | 186 |
2 | Josh Hamilton* | 125 | 490 | 91 | 175 | 39 | 30 | 93 | 40 | 93 | .357 | .409 | .633 | 1.042 | 173 |
6 | Robinson Cano* | 128 | 496 | 89 | 160 | 36 | 25 | 87 | 48 | 60 | .323 | .386 | .558 | .945 | 156 |

Abstract | In this dissertation I discuss the synthesis of graphene using chemical vapor deposition on Ni and Cu substrate, as well as various applications using CVD graphene. ❧ Chapter 1 gives a brief introduction of graphene, the electrical properties of graphene, and chemical vapor deposition method of graphene synthesis. ❧ Chapter 2 discusses a simple, scalable and cost-efficient method to prepare graphene using methane-based chemical vapor deposition on nickel films deposited over complete Si/SiO2 wafers. By using highly diluted methane, single- and few-layer graphene were obtained, as confirmed by micro Raman spectroscopy. In addition, a transfer technique has been applied to transfer the graphene film to target substrates via nickel etching. Field-effect transistors based on the graphene films transferred to Si/SiO₂ substrates revealed a weak p-type gate dependence, while transferring of the graphene films to glass substrate allowed its characterization as transparent conductive films, exhibiting transmittance of 80% in the visible wavelength range. ❧ In chapter 3, continuous, highly flexible, and transparent few-layer graphene films synthesized from Ni film were implemented as transparent conductive electrodes (TCE) in organic photovoltaic cells. Graphene films were synthesized by CVD, transferred to transparent substrates, and evaluated in organic solar cell heterojunctions (TCE/poly-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene:poly styrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS)/copper phthalocyanine/fullerene/bathocuproine/aluminum). Key to our success is the continuous nature of the CVD graphene films, which led to minimal surface roughness (~0.9 nm) and offered sheet resistance down to 230 Ω/sq (at 72% transparency), much lower than stacked graphene flakes at similar transparency. In addition, solar cells with CVD graphene and indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes were fabricated side-by-side on flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates and were confirmed to offer comparable performance, with power conversion efficiencies (η) of 1.18 and 1.27%, respectively. Furthermore, CVD graphene solar cells demonstrated outstanding capability to operate under bending conditions up to 138°, whereas the ITO-based devices displayed cracks and irreversible failure under bending of 60°. Our work indicates the great potential of CVD graphene films for flexible photovoltaic applications. ❧ In chapter 4, we discuss comparative study and Raman characterization on the formation of graphene on single crystal Ni (111) and polycrystalline Ni substrates using chemical vapor deposition. Preferential formation of monolayer/bilayer graphene on the single crystal surface is attributed to its atomically smooth surface and the absence of grain boundaries. In contrast, CVD graphene formed on polycrystalline Ni leads to higher percentage of multilayer graphene (≥3 layers), which is attributed to the presence of grain boundaries in Ni that can serve as nucleation sites for multilayer growth. Micro-Raman surface mapping reveals that the area percentages of monolayer/bilayer graphene are 91.4% for the Ni (111) substrate and 72.8% for the polycrystalline Ni substrate under comparable CVD conditions. The use of single crystal substrates for graphene growth may open ways for uniform high-quality graphene over large areas. ❧ Chapter 5 discusses a vapor trapping method for the growth of large-grain, single-crystalline graphene flowers with grain size up to 100 μm. Controlled growth of graphene flowers with four lobes and six lobes has been achieved by varying the growth pressure and the methane to hydrogen ratio. Surprisingly, electron backscatter diffraction study revealed that the graphene morphology had little correlation with the crystalline orientation of underlying copper substrate. Field effect transistors were fabricated based on graphene flowers and the fitted device mobility could achieve ~ 4,200 cm²V⁻¹s⁻¹ on Si/SiO₂ and ~ 20,000 cm²V⁻¹s⁻¹ on hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). Our vapor trapping method provides a viable way for large-grain single-crystalline graphene synthesis for potential high-performance graphene-based electronics. ❧ In chapter 6, a simple, clean, and highly anisotropic hydrogen etching method was developed for chemical vapor deposited graphene catalyzed by the copper substrate. By exposing CVD graphene on copper foil to hydrogen flow around 800 °C, we observed that the initially continuous graphene can be etched to have many hexagonal openings. In addition, we found that the etching is temperature dependent. Compared to other temperatures (700, 900, and 1000 °C), etching of graphene at 800 °C is most efficient and anisotropic. Of the angles of graphene edges after etching, 80% are 120°, indicating the etching is highly anisotropic. No increase of the D band along the etched edges indicates that the crystallographic orientation of etching is in the zigzag direction. Furthermore, we observed that copper played an important role in catalyzing the etching reaction, as no etching was observed for graphene transferred to Si/SiO₂ under similar conditions. This highly anisotropic hydrogen etching technology may work as a simple and convenient way to determine graphene crystal orientation and grain size and may enable the etching of graphene into nanoribbons for electronic applications. ❧ Brief conclusions are drawn in chapter 7. Future directions of graphene are also discussed in chapter 7. ❧ In summary, this dissertation starts from CVD graphene synthesis and fulfills with various applications using as-synthesized graphene material, which proves the potential of CVD graphene for device application, OPV cells, and other possible applications. With the continuous improvement of graphene quality, as well as the promising application results shown in this dissertation, we should expect many more applications that exploit all kinds of unique properties of graphene in near future. |

U.S. sending 20 more F-16s to Morsi's Egypt
The first four jets are to be delivered to Egypt beginning Jan. 22, a source at the naval air base in Fort Worth, where the planes have been undergoing testing, told FoxNews.com. The North African nation already has a fleet of more than 200 of the planes and the latest shipment merely fulfills an order placed two years ago. But given the uncertainty in Cairo, some critics wonder if it is wise to be sending more top gun planes.
"Should an overreaction [by Egypt] spiral into a broader conflict between Egypt and Israel, such a scenario would put U.S. officials in an embarrassing position of having supplied massive amounts of military hardware … to both belligerents," said Malou Innocent, a foreign policy analyst at the Cato Institute. "Given Washington's fiscal woes, American taxpayers should no longer be Egypt's major arms supplier."

Siegfried & Roy welcome 3 snow-white lion cubs
LAS VEGAS — Magicians Siegfried & Roy are welcoming three new snowy white lion cubs to their Secret Garden habitat on the Las Vegas Strip.
The 14-week-old felines were born near Johannesburg, South Africa, and brought to the Mirage casino three weeks ago. They will be available for public viewing starting on Friday.
The cubs are named Freedom, Madiba and Timba-Masai, and have rare white coats after inheriting their parents' recessive genes. They are expected to weigh 500 pounds each when they reach their full size in two to four years.
Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn discontinued their magic stage show after a white tiger named Mantecore attacked Horn during a 2003 performance.
But they continue maintaining the Secret Garden zoo, which features white tigers and white lions.

My Best Friend (Mon meilleur ami)
Down on his luck Bruno, maintains an upbeat demeanor despite the fact that his wife recently left him for another man.
[DVD Review]
Over the years, Patrice Leconte has proven himself quite adept at plumbing the depths of the human psyche by placing two people with nothing in common in an emotionally-explosive predicament.
In Intmate Strangers (2004), it was an unhappily-married woman who started sharing confidences with a tax attorney she mistook for her new psychotherapist.
The Man on the Train (2002) paired a straitlaced professor with a bank robber he befriended at a pharmacy. Girl on the Bridge (1999) revolved around the relationship of a 21 year-old nymphomaniac and the middle-aged circus performer who talked her out of committing suicide. You get the idea.
With My Best Friend, the Oscar-nominated director (for Ridicule) has served up another fascinating double character study, this starring Daniel Auteuil as Francois, an arrogant, antique dealer who's phenomenally successful, except for the fact that he no one likes him. When Catherine (Julie Gayet), his business partner, points out this failing, he claims to have plenty of friends.
Skeptical, she challenges him to produce his best friend by the end of the month or else surrender possession of his prized Greek vase. Francois immediately accepts the dare, but soon finds none of his acquaintances considers him a friend.
After being rejected by everyone he already knows, he sets his sights on manipulating Bruno (Dany Boon), his regular cab driver, into helping him win the bet. So, unfolds My Best Friend, a sinuously intriguing French farce set in and around a Paris often presented from the perspective of a perambulating taxi.
Down on his luck Bruno, maintains an upbeat demeanor despite the fact that his wife recently left him for another man. And he freely shares with Francois his secret of why he's so beloved by all his customers, namely, the three S's, being sociable, smiling and sincere. Sadly, strategic Francois can't take this advice to heart, but only sees his cheery chauffeur as a naïve, lower-class loser to be exploited, which doesn't bode well for his hopes of holding on to his cherished vase when he tries to pass off Bruno as his best friend during the denouement.
A satisfying, cinematic masterpiece with an invaluable message about the meaning of real relating.
Excellent (4 stars) Rated PG-13 for strong profanity. In French with subtitles. Running time: 95 minutes

It's not all doom and gloom for women who wish to reproduce in the future, as science offers near-eternal ovarian youth. Says the good Dr. Siber, "A woman could freeze her ovary at age 19 and have a 19-year-old ovary aged 40."

Grateful Dead album, released 1970
"I will say that I still love American Beauty but I cannot think of another of their albums I'd still listen to without cringing at some point." - dannye "For once a truly beautiful album cover is more than matched by the record inside" - Andy Zwerling (Rolling Stone)
Mea Culpa. I don't think I actually listened to any Grateful Dead albums until 2005. It's my own fault, being born and brought up across The Pond in England, and being a Rolling Stones fan, to boot. Of course, I must have heard their songs played on the radio, but was never moved enough recognise the band as distinct from any other, let alone actually buy an album. As a result, my expectations of the band and their music were skewed. Whenever I heard people talk about the Dead, I imagined them to be playing some sort of hardcore psychedelic acid rock, hence I left them alone, veering more toward The Doors and Pink Floyd. For whatever reason I imagined both those bands were English, rather than American in origin, and at that young age, I imagine that I was still full of musical chauvinism. My later recognition of The Doors as an American band did not move me, and I continued to enjoy them.
At any rate, I had never stopped to pay attention to the Dead's music until I settled in California, and was exposed to Christine's music collection, which in its own way, was as eclectic as mine. I could write a bloody book about the opening of my mind to other forms of music and different artists, but I will for now content myself with this band, and this particular album.
First Impressions
Surprise, surprise! The Grateful Dead is not all about 60s druggy/psychedelia after all! It's all about rock'n'roll, and American folk tradition, a little country, and of course a good deal of West Coast Sound. I wasn't sure whether to be disappointed or delighted, at first. Some tracks I'd heard before, and of course, because I'd never associated the songs with the band, was quite amazed. Truckin' was one classic example, and darned if it wasn't almost as much Beach Boys as rock. It was rather like seeing my breakfast egg wink at me.
I wasn't really able to hang my hat on anything at first listening. After all, I lacked the cultural background to fully appreciate what they were about. Real "Country music" was something I still had to come to terms with, after years hearing only the most commercial (and awful) C&W on British radio playlists. I have to admit now that identifying the threads of real Country music, and American folk, was part of the key to really getting to enjoy this new sound.
A Little Background
This was the Dead's fifth studio outing, and the recording started soon after Workingman's Dead, and was produced by Stephen Barncard. The cover, so Wikipedia informs me, contains an ambigram; the letters for the word "Beauty" can also be read as "Reality". Myself, I had to squint to see this, but then my eyesight is not what it was.
Musically, it's a little bit rock'n'roll and quite a lot of folk music, with nods to both country and bluegrass styles. I remember the song Truckin', which was one of two released as singles, the other being Ripple. I have memories of hearing Friend of the Devil many times on the radio, and had assumed it to be a single, though it was not.
The band at the time consisted of Jerry Garcia (guitar, vocals, piano), Mickey Hart (percussion), Robert Hunter (who wrote many of the lyrics), Phil Lesh (bass guitar, vocals), Bill Kreutzmann (drums), Ron McKernan (harmonica and vocals) and Bob Weir (guitar and vocals).
Listening Notes
My first impression I have already mentioned; the lack of the psychedelic influences I'd been expecting (the band had moved away from the acid music by the late 1960s). My second was "Wow, so this is an intriguing mix!", and it is. The roots of the component parts being largely unknown to me, I nevertheless explored with some delight. As I began to dip in, slowly the essence of Americana began to unwind from the eclectic weave.
Box of Rain is a slow and simple Country track, gentle and emotional, yet not sappy. Layered guitars, good vocal harmonies and a superb intro make this an ideal opening. Worthy of note to DeadHeads is the inclusion of Phil Lesh on lead vocals, on his recording vocal debut.
Friend of the Devil is a wonderful, classic track, oft-covered but rarely improved upon. With some wonderful guitar work and awesome mandolin by David Grisman, it's a great favourite of mine, a song I love to sing along with. One day I will learn all the words, and join in the tale of a man on the run from the Law and the Devil. Its wondrous American folk style makes for easy listening, and it's by far the catchiest tune on the album.
Sugar Magnolia is quite a poppy love song, smooth and sensual, but that does not do it justice. Some great steel guitar is woven in and out of solid vocals and percussion, and although it is a three-minute song, seems too short; I always want it to last a little longer.
Operator follows with a nice-and-simple Country guitar-picking intro, clear and steady rhythm and whilst it's a decent song, I nonetheless feel that the vocals let it down a little. Woven with some blues harmonica, it's a straightforward enough song, but doesn't stand out, at least not for me.
The opening of Candyman could almost be from a Rolling Stones song. It's a little bluesy, with a lot of rhythm laid over by good Country guitar work. I find myself humming along easily, but not convincingly attached to the lyrics. Nice tune.
Ripple is slow Country, and quite beautiful. Both lyrically and musically, it delighted me on first hearing, and the more I listened, the more I got from it. It is a track to listen to if one wants the best from it. The harmonies have a little Gospel feel, and whilst it appears simple at first, subsequent playings reveal ever more detail, from a perfectly-timed choral harmony to simply heavenly mandolin. Classic, beautiful and haunting. Hear it a dozen times for full effect, and then segue into Brokedown Palace. The pace slows, the vocals are more relaxed, but the feeling is very similar, though with a little more Gospel and more of an R&B feel. Emotional, almost religious, it's almost inseparable on the album, but lacks the delicacy of Ripple.
Till The Morning Comes is one of the "rocky" tracks, with a lot more of a 60s sound than the rest of the album. It's a nice change of pace after the preceding reflective tracks, is a lot more open and certainly more simply produced.
Attics Of My Life is beautiful in a very different way - think Beatles meets Beach Boys. In some ways it's a disappointment, as the tempo is so slow that I almost fell over it. I may upset fans if I say it's quite plodding, but I'm going to say it anyway. I feel that it's a minute too long; I can only take so much four-part harmony. I really want to hear Pick Floyd cover this, just for kicks.
Truckin'. Ah, what more need be said? It's the story of a touring band, "Chicago, Detroit and New York, and it's all on the same street". Listen, and you'll hear the sound of the cat's eyes as the tour bus drives over them. It's practically flawless, energetic and with a few surprises thrown in. All in all, it's a biography; listen carefully and almost the whole history of the band is there, the drug use, run-ins with the Law. It's all summed up in the famous line toward the end, "What a long strange trip it's been".
Is it a classic? Well, yes it is, even if as dannye said that the band is hard to listen to with a straight face. The album has aged a little, seems a little hippie today, but is to me representative of a musical turning point. Thank you, Grateful Dead, you created a marvel which has become a part of the soundtrack to my own truckin' life. I will long love your harmonies.

THURSDAY, July 10, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Most professional football players who have shoulder stabilization surgery are able to return to the game, a new study finds.
Shoulder instability is a common injury among NFL players, but their rate of return after surgery to fix the problem has been unclear, the study authors explained.
The new study included 60 players who had shoulder stabilization surgery. Ninety percent of those who had this procedure successfully returned to play, defined as playing in at least one regular season game. The return rate was 82 percent for those who had open surgery and 92 percent for those who had minimally invasive (arthroscopic) surgery.
On average, players returned to play 8.6 months after surgery, according to the study that was to be presented Thursday at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine annual meeting in Seattle. Findings presented at meetings are considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
"Our study highlighted the success rate of return to play following shoulder stabilization surgery. Age, number of games before surgery, and career length were not statistically different between those that returned and those that did not," study author Dr. Matthew White, of the American Sports Medicine Institute in Birmingham, Ala., said in a society news release.
"It was also interesting to note that players selected before the fourth round of the NFL draft were 7.6 times more likely to return to play following shoulder stabilization surgery. Additional investigation on shoulder function and outcome scores long-term would also be beneficial in this group of athletes to determine better standards of care," he added.

I never thought that in my first big girl job, I would be blogging about losing weight. But here I am, and here's my story. For hundreds of people to read. Here goes…
Flashback: Two weeks ago.
Everything I put on to wear to work seemed just a tad too tight as I threw one shirt on the ground and grabbed another out of my closet. As the pile of discarded too-small clothes began to build over the week, I began to wonder. I hadn't weighed myself in almost a year; surely I could not have gained that much weight since then? So I went shopping in search of a scale.
Upon entering the store, my eyes were pulled to the bathing suits that stood just off the entrance, which made me forget all about my scale worries and begin to daydream of laying on the beach this summer. It didn't take too long for my daydreaming to become quite a nightmare as I looked in the dressing-room mirror. After trying on a few suits, I realized I did not need a scale to tell me the harsh truth… I quickly pulled my jeans & sweatshirt back on and texted my good friend: "quickest way to ruin a girl's day: try on bathing suits!!! blah."
Needless to say, I didn't get anything I tried on; but, I did leave the store with a scale in hand and a sense of dread that seemed to weigh on me (yep, pun intended). As soon as I got home, I unpacked the scale and hopped on. 166 pounds.
Whaaaattt?! Last time I weighed myself (which granted was almost a year ago), I had weighed 148 pounds. So where did this [almost] twenty pounds come from?! I put my hands on my hips and pursed my lips as I glared down at the number. As I shifted my weight from side to side, the number went up and (my heart lifted) way down. No need to worry! The scale must be broken!
At work the next day, I joked to my co-workers about how I had to return the scale over lunch because—I scoffed—it just had to be broken. But deep down, I had a feeling that perhaps I was getting a little bigger, my clothes (definitely) a little snugger. I knew I could stand to lose a few pounds.
Then, my boss told me about the Jockey weight loss challenge that was starting the next week; she and a couple others wanted to start a team and they needed another person—would I want to join?
Well, I already felt guilty enough about returning the scale just one day after I'd bought it (what do I say when the cashier asks why I am returning it? Is it really defective?).
So, Jockey weight loss challenge, here I come.
And I hope that you'll come with me! As I go through this challenge for the next 12 weeks, I would love for you to follow along with me. I'll be posting about the challenges of eating healthy, squeezing cooking and work-outs into my busy days, trying new workouts, the triumphs that I'll feel as I shed some weight, and the set-backs that will come surely my way as well. I could definitely use some encouragement, advice and support from YOU—and at the same time, I hope you find those things for yourself as well as I share my experiences, tips, and insights.
So it begins…
Fat Stats:
Starting weight: 166 pounds.
Week 1: 163 pounds.
Goal weight: 145 pounds.
Until next week – your fearless blogger,
P.S. Follow me on Twitter to see more updates on how I'm doing: @jockey_amanda
P.P.S. My Jockey team rocks—we lost 18 pounds total! Go team!

BERLIN – Travel operator TUI Deutschland says it is resuming some tours to Egypt after the German government relaxed its travel advice for the country.
The German branch of travel giant TUI PLC says it will reopen hotels and begin flights to the Red Sea coast immediately.
The company said in a statement Wednesday that it was also considering resuming tours to Cairo, Luxor and the Nile.
Like most European travel companies TUI halted tours to Egypt after an Aug. 14 crackdown against followers of ousted President Mohammed Morsi.
The move was a blow to Egypt's tourism industry, which once accounted for over 11 percent of the country's gross domestic product.
Company spokeswoman Anja Braun said Egypt is TUI Deutschland's seventh-most popular destination, particularly favored by European sun-seekers during the winter months.

Dodgers re-sign League to fill closer role
The Dodgers took care of one of their top off-season priorities Tuesday by reaching agreement on a new three-year contract with reliever Brandon League.
Dodgers GM Ned Colletti said League had been re-signed to serve as the team's closer – and he will be paid like one. Acquired from the Mariners at the non-waiver trade deadline in July, League will reportedly make $22.5 million over the length of the three-year deal and could add a fourth year at $7.5 million by activating a vesting option with 55 games finished in 2015.
After losing the closer's job in Seattle early last season, League took over that role for the Dodgers down the stretch with Kenley Jansen sidelined by an irregular heartbeat. Jansen is recovering from a surgical procedure to treat that arrhythmia. But Colletti said League will go into the 2013 season as the Dodgers' closer.
"We think after what he did the last two, three weeks of the season that closer is the role (for him)," Colletti said Tuesday. "That's what he was in Seattle in 2011 and part of 2012. After we acquired him the role was a little different. But he was obviously very, very solid for us -- so that's where we start."
League, 29, was an All-Star closer for the Mariners in 2011 when he converted 37 of 42 save situations. But he lost that role in May after blowing four of eight save chances in one stretch and pitching to a 4.43 ERA. After his trade to the Dodgers in late July, League's struggles continued. His ERA was 10.80 (six runs on nine hits in five innings) after his first seven appearances with his new team, but he allowed just one run and eight hits while striking out 22 in his final 22 1/3 innings of the season, converting all six save chances after stepping in for Jansen.
"Everyone has their ups and downs. That somebody struggles isn't the end of the world," Colletti said, crediting pitching coach Rick Honeycutt and bullpen coach Ken Howell with helping League make adjustments in his delivery that keyed his turnaround.
"At the end of the season, he was as good as anybody in baseball."
The Dodgers are also interested in re-signing free-agent relievers Randy Choate and Jamey Wright, though Colletti said no progress has been made in those discussions. The Dodgers' bullpen ERA of 3.23 in 2012 was fourth in the National League and maintaining that high level of relief is something Colletti put high on his off-season agenda.
"When you look at this division and who we have to compete against, everyone has a bullpen that has power guys, great experience, great depth they can march out there every night," he said. "We made this (re-signing League) a priority."
Colletti denied published reports that the Dodgers were open to a trade involving outfielder Andre Ethier. "It hasn't been discussed," he said. ... Dodgers right-hander Chad Billingsley threw two simulated innings Monday and appears to have healed sufficiently from the partially torn ligament in his elbow to avoid surgery. Billingsley's season ended in late August due to the injury and the Dodgers were concerned he might need Tommy John surgery, which would have sidelined him for the 2013 season.

Research has shown that the vast majority of American adults do not get nearly enough calcium in their diets. Calcium deficiencies are usually even more common for those maintaining a vegetarian or vegan diet. The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for calcium is between 1000 and 1200 mg for everyone over the age of eight. For this reason' many doctors may advise patients to start taking a calcium supplement. A quick comparison of the many calcium supplements available on the market will reveal obvious differences—it will also show that Designs For Health's Calcium Malate Chelate is one of the best.
Calcium offers many benefits. Most notably' your body uses it to help keep your teeth and bones healthy and strong. However' the mineral is also involved in nerve signaling' proper heart function and the contraction and relaxation of muscles. Treatment with a calcium supplement such as calcium citrate malate helps boost your calcium levels; it may also help prevent or treat health conditions like high blood pressure' osteoporosis' premenstrual syndrome (PMS)' rickets' high cholesterol' obesity and hypoparathyroidism (a condition characterized by abnormally low levels of the parathyroid hormone). Studies are ongoing and seek to explore further uses for calcium supplements.
Calcium malate chelate is different from other supplements in that it's a formulation in which calcium and malic acid are bonded to each other' which enhances absorption by your body. Malic acid is contained in its natural form by fruits and vegetables' including apples. Through the process of chelation' Calcium Malate Chelate Vegetarian Capsules by Designs for Health has been manufactured to have a larger absorption rate than calcium carbonate' calcium citrate' and calcium hydroxyapatite. Most impressively' calcium malate chelate has even been shown to be absorbed by the body than the calcium from milk!
Designs for Health was founded in 1989 by a team of clinical nutritionists' and puts science first when creating products and formulas. Ever since then' the company has focused on manufacturing dietary supplements that contain quality' natural ingredients at effective dosages. It strives to provide the best products for health care professionals and patients.

We had to remove this throwback from our vault! Before the Dominican actress had a full glam squad, she was rocking a natural look in casual jeans and a white top. We love her long natural hair!
Dania embodied a flamenco dancer in an embellished bright skirt, chic tank top, and low-slicked bun at the Latin Billboard Music Awards.
The Heroes star attended a NBC Universal celebration in a pale yellow summer dress paired with black peep-toe shoes. The Covergirl looked very 'easy breezy'!

The beautiful Covergirl modeled a multi-colored dress with a deep-plunge neckline at a T-Mobile Sidekick LX launch event. The golden accessories added to the look perfectly.
Dania isn't afraid of rocking color and this pink number proves it! The Dominican actress wore the couture dress at the People's Choice Awards 2010 in Los Angeles.
Dania arrived at 67th Annual Golden Globes after party in a figure-flattering purple dress and finished off the look with blue pumps. Love it!

Fred is a an awesome guy, and I've really enjoyed getting to know him. We hung out together in Northern California a while ago and got along like a Starbucks on fire. Take some time and visit his blog… he's got all kinds of good stuff on there. Also, he recently interviewed me for an upcoming This Week in Photography, which I will link to as soon as it goes live!
Daily Photo – The Rainy Forest in Hakone
Hakone is a wonderful and remote part of Japan. The bullet train only took me so far before I switched to a smaller series of trains to get me out to this spot. It is nationally known as a place for rest and spiritual relaxation. I was already on vacation, so I decided to double down and take a vacation from the vacation and super-relax. I spent the day out exploring places like this before retiring in the evening with the most intense hotbaths of my life.


text: Amen to that, I've been thinking the exact same thing. Govenor Cuomo is an idiot, this assualt weapon, high capacity argument is BS. Yes they want your guns. I own a Ar and AK and they are defensive or hunting weapons not assault weapons. They have never jumped out of the closet and assaulted anyone. Assault is an action(verb), and should not be implied as a definition of a rifle(noun). In essense the argument of Cuomo is we don't need a 2nd amendment, just turn in your so called assault rifles and we the government will dictate to the citizens what firearms they need for self defense and hunting. Cuomo is a traitor to the Constitution and for a politician he should well know the 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with hunting game, it's major premise is for the defense against foreign invaders, and mainly a defense against a domestic tryannical government. Which in my opinion is getting pretty darn close. Thomas Jefferson, please pray for us. Getting back to the subject, I have renewed my NRA membership for 3 years and have contacted all my representatives both at the state and federal level. Let's beat them back folks!
