Scylla (HD 11964 c, P152) is a planet which orbits the yellow G-type subgiant star HD 11964, meaning the star has just ran out of hydrogen fuel in its core. The star is considerably larger but cooler and lot more luminous than our Sun. It is approximately 107 light-years or 33 parsecs from Earth towards the constellation Cetus in the caelregio Hippocampus.
Scylla is a so-called blue Jupiter with no global cloud cover as it lacks suitable chemicals for clouds at a temperature of 509 K (536°C or 457°F), although there are few bands of high-altitude clouds near the equator and the poles. This planet takes 38 days to orbit the star.
Scylla is named after the monster in Greek mythology that lived on one side of a narrow channel of water.
Discovery and chronology Edit
Scylla was discovered on August 7, 2005 by a team of astronomers led by Paul Butler. The team used the spectrometer mounted on the telescope in Lick Observatory and found that this star wobble caused by planets. On that same day, the second planet Deino was also announced but reported unconfirmed.
Scylla is the 145th exoplanet discovered overall, 119th since 2000, and 24th in 2005. Scylla is also the 4th exoplanet discovered in the constellation Cetus (2nd in 2005) and 19th exoplanet discovered in the caelregio Hippocampus (4th in 2005). Scylla is the first planet discovered in the HD 11964 system, despite its designation HD 11964 c (a is not used because the parent star uses this letter to reduce confusion). More accurately, this planet is also designated HD 11964 P1. However, at the time of its discovery, this planet was designated HD 11964 b. Note that the chronology does not include speculative brown dwarfs (objects with minimum masses below 13 MJ but with speculative true masses above 13 MJ).
Orbit and rotation Edit
Orbit Edit
Scylla takes 3.28 megaseconds (37.9 days) to orbit the star at an average distance of 1.114 microparsecs (0.2297 astronomical units), which is 59% the average distance between Mercury and the Sun. Scylla orbits with an eccentricity of 0.298, which corresponds to the distances ranging from 0.782 to 1.446 μpc (0.1613 to 0.2982 AU). The planet moves at an average velocity of 65.05 km/s and it varies from 54.50 to 74.11 km/s during its orbit. Like some of the hot Jupiters known, Scylla orbits opposite to the rotation of the star, so-called retrograde orbit. The retrograde orbit maybe caused by the orbit being flipped by the gravitational interactions with three other planets in this system just after the planet formed. It's speculated inclination to line of sight is 173° (−179.78° to star's equator). The argument of periastron is 102°, which is the angle between periastron and ascending node. The longitude of ascending node is 250° counterclockwise from the origin of longitude at First Point of Aries as seen from north. Adding argument of periastron and longitude of ascensing node yields 352° in longitude of periastron.
Parent star observation and irradiance Edit
When viewing HD 11964 from one of its moons since this planet is a gas giant with no solid surface, that sun would appear to be 47 times brighter than the Sun as seen from Earth, corresponding to its apparent magnitude −30.93. The angular diameter of HD 11964 as seen from Scylla is 2.251°, which is 41⁄2 times the angular diameter of the full moon and sun as seen from Earth, because Scylla orbits nearly 41⁄3 times closer to the star than Earth to the Sun. However that magnitude and angular diameter of a star change during its planetary orbit because the orbit is eccentric. During half of its year when the planet moves closer to the star, the sun would appear to get brighter and larger, while at the other half when the planet moves further away from the star, it would appear to get dimmer and smaller.
Scylla receives 20 kilowatts worth of stellar energy over every square meter, which is 14.75 I⊕. However with its eccentric orbit, its irradiance varies from 12 to 41 kW/m² or from 8.76 to 29.93 I⊕.
Rotation Edit
Scylla takes 909 hours, 52 minutes, and 35 seconds to rotate once on its axis, which is nearly 38 Earth days. The rotation velocity is 504 kph, or 313 mph. This planet rotates in the same direction as its revolution, but opposite to the rotation of the parent star. Scylla is tidally lock, because its period of rotation is identical to the period of its orbit. The tilt of this planet is such that its north pole points to the constellation Coma Berenices (in Noctua) while the south pole points to the constellation Sculptor (in Solarium).
Structure and composition Edit
Mass and size Edit
Using the speculated inclination, its speculated true mass for Scylla is 0.97 MJ or 308 M⊕. This planet had a minimum mass 0.11 MJ or 35 M⊕. It is classified as mid-Jupiter in the planetary mass classification scheme. This planet has a radius of 71.747 megameters, which is slightly bigger than Jupiter. Scylla has density 1.16 g/cm³, which is a little denser than water.
The radius mentioned does not mean it is measured from the center to anywhere on the planet's surface. There are really three types of radii, mean radius (average when measuring from the center to everywhere on its surface), equatorial radius (from the center to the surface at the equator), and polar radius (from the center to the surface at either poles). The radius mentioned is its mean radius. Its equatorial radius is 72.945 Mm whiles its polar radius is 71.746 Mm, a difference of 1.199 Mm. Using these values, circumferences can be calculated using the equation 2πr. The calculated circumferences are 455.815 Mm (mean), 458.326 Mm (equatorial), and 450.794 Mm (polar). Its aspect ratio is 0.98357, derived by dividing polar radius/circum. from equatorial radius/circum. Because of its equatorial bulge, the surface gravity at the equator is lower than at the poles since the gravity is inversely proportional to the square of its radius.
Gravitational influence Edit
Scylla has gravitational force nearly 2.4 times stronger than Earth's and 90% that of Jupiter's. The object falling to the planet accelerates at 23.4 m/s² or 76.7 ft/s². If you weigh 150 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 356 pounds on Scylla. So a person standing on Scylla would weigh as much as a lion, tiger, and black bear on Earth!
The roche limit, where a 3 g/cm³ moon tear apart by tidal forces, is just 0.173 lunar distances (66.4 megameters), which is 0.915 planetary radii. The hill radius, the boundary where the gravitational influence of the planet is identical to the star, is just 4.24 lunar distances (1.63 gigameters), which is 221⁄2 times the radius of the planet. The stationary orbit, where the satellite's orbital period is identical to the rotation period of the planet, analogous to the Earth's geostationary orbit, is about 3148 Mm, which is 43.16 planetary radii and eight times the distance between Earth and the Moon. The stationary velocity, the orbital velocity at stationary orbit, is 6.2 km/s or 3.8 mi/s. Since the planet takes 30¼ days to rotate, then a moon would take 30¼ days to orbit the planet at stationary orbit, which is very similar to the Moon's orbital period around the Earth.
Interior Edit
Below Scylla's outer envelope (atmosphere), the weight of all the gases pressing down produce a tremendous pressure. That pressure allow hydrogen and helium to condense in the upper mantle despite the higher temperatures deeper down. In the lower mantle lies liquid metallic hydrogen where hydrogen can conduct electricity under even greater pressure heated beyond its critical point. In the lower mantle, the temperature is 11,400 K (11,200°C, 20,100°F) and a pressure 190 GPa. At the center lies a core of rock and metal with a mass 22 Earth masses, roughly 7.1% the total mass of the planet. The temperature of the core is estimated to be 20,200 K (19,900°C, 35,800°F) and an estimated pressure 4.2 TPa.
Atmosphere Edit
Scylla's atmosphere composes of 95.8% hydrogen and 4.1% helium. Scylla's composition other than hydrogen and helium is considerably different compared to the four giant solar system planets because this planet orbits much closer to its star. Scylla contains no ammonia in the atmosphere. However, this planet has gases that are not found in our solar system, such as hydrogen chloride, phosphorus pentachloride, octane, and disulfur dichloride. Also there are no ice crystals in the atmosphere because it is too hot.
Scylla doesn't have a global cloud cover and this planet appears deep blue, although it has bands of noctilucent clouds around 5° north and south of the equator, another bands at 65° north and south of the equator, and significant cloud cover around the poles. These clouds are made of phosphorus pentachloride. These cloud bands are shaped by the planet's fast rotation and zonal jets. These clouds form from a localized concentrations of PCl5, which are produced by the chemical reactions between hydrogen chloride and phosphine using cosmic rays and ionized particles from the parent star as their catalysts.
- 5HCl + PH3 → PCl5 + 4H2
This jovian planet is cloudless as the mean temperature is 553 K (280°C or 536°F). Because there are no clouds over most of the planet, it may have only a light wind and no storms.
Magnetic field Edit
This planet has a strong magnetic field, one-and-a-half times stronger than Earth's. Even though this planet has no clouds, it can still produce auroras when the stellar activity is high.
Moons and rings Edit
Scylla has one moon and no rings. The moon, designated as Scylla I or HD 11964 c1 is a volcanic moon that orbits close to the planet, at a distance of 122,341 miles or 196,889 kilometers, which is two times closer to the planet than Moon's distance from Earth. This moon has mass 1.27 Lunar masses and has diameter 0.867 Lunar diameters (1,872 miles, 3,013 kilometers), corresponding to its density 6.54 g/cm³. This moon has gravity 0.280 g (2.75 m/s²). If you weigh 150 lbs on Earth, you'll weigh just 42 lbs on Scylla I. So the average weight for adults on Scylla I is as light as the average weight for 5 year olds on Earth!
The volcanism on the moon is caused by the strong tidal bulges exerted by the parent planet, just like Jupiter exerting a lot of tidal bulges on Io which causes volcanism.
Future studies Edit
The method will use to study Scylla might be direct imaging to see what this planet actually looks like. But direct imaging of this planet can be difficult to achieve because this planet orbits real close to its star, only 23% the distance between Earth and the Sun. Maybe looking for transits across the star would be a better idea, but it is speculated that this planet will not transit since the speculated inclination is 173°, which is almost face-on. Even with the difficulty of direct imaging and low probability of transit, the inclination of Scylla's orbit can still be constrained using astrometry from Gaia, James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), or Space Interoferometry Mission (SIM). Constraining the inclination is important for measuring its true mass.
Perhaps in about two decades, direct imaging of this planet can be achieved using the Advanced Technology Large-Aperture Space Telescope (ATLAST). The direct imaging can then constrain the size of this planet. After constraining its size, density and surface gravity can be calculated. Using the density of the planet, astronomers can probe the interior and estimate the mass and size of the core. Astronomers will also study the mantle and its temperature of the core using astroseismology. Using the spectrometer mounted on the ATLAST, it can constrain its temperature and study the chemical makeup of the atmosphere. Using the same method, the rotation rate can also be constrained using Doppler shifts. Using the rotation rate and circumference of the planet (calculated using 2π radius), rotation period can then be calculated. In orbit around the planet, moons can be detected using the transit across the planet, detecting the wobble of the planet, or even direct imaging. Rings can also be detected using just two methods: transit or direct imaging.

Thank you for all jobs well done. Quotes are competitive, responses timely, pickups quick, packing top-notch, paperwork and scheduling are accurate and well coordinated...You are clearly my recommendation to anybody that asks.
I value the partnership we have with BTX. Their services, from storage to shipping, and everything in between can't be beat. But most of all, I value the people that make BTX the best to work with...I'm treated like a good friend where my needs are the most important at that moment.
Over approximately 8 years, we have developed a high level of trust in the skills and experience of BTX when dealing with Titan's freight issues. We look forward to continuing our business relationship for years to come.
A true partnership in my opinion is when your freight forwarder gets a good understanding of your shipments so that he can and is willing to make decisions about them as I would. BTX has always taken care of our shipments as if they were their own.

zsh - a bash alternative that's easily customizable with oh-my-zsh
I think I now what you are thinking right now: "Why do I even NEED an alternative to bash?". And I can tell you I thought the same, too. Bash is perfect, there's auto completion, a command history and all those neat things that help you being productive when using the shell.
And then one day in mid-2011 I discovered the Z shell and once I read about all the nice features it has, I started being even more productive and I fell in love with this tool.
In this tutorial, I will guide you through the installation of zsh, show you some of the many awesome features that this shell brings to your terminal and I'll give you some tips on how to use this shell with your customizations on any machine that you use.
On Debian and Ubuntu, you only need to install the zsh package via apt, MacPorts and Homebrew both also provide a package zsh. For other systems, please have a look at the official project homepage.
You can start the Z shell with
zsh and just play around with it. To make it your default shell (and say goodbye to the bash) run:
[code lang="bash"]
$> chsh -s `which zsh`
The zsh is based on the bash, so if you work with it, you may be familiar with many features. The Z shell is still in active development and provides many functions that power users of the bash may miss in it. I'm going to show you some of them here.
Spelling correction
Zsh tries to help you when you send an unknown command and performs spelling correction on your input. Consider this example:
[code lang="bash"]
$> cta foobar
zsh: correct 'cta' to 'cat' [nyae]?
Suffix aliases
You may know aliases from bash, but zsh gives aliases even more power: you can assign aliases for prefixes, e.g. if you want to open all files with the suffix .rb in vim do the following:
[code lang="bash"]
$> alias -s rb=vim
$> foo.rb
You don't have to type vim foo.rb just foo.rb will then do just the same.
On my day-to-day work, I use mostly three or four directories (or subdirectories of them) where I do all programming stuff. One of them is ~/Workspace. To go there, regardless of where I am at the moment, I set up a hash alias that points there. It's simple but saves me a lot of typing.
[code lang="bash"]
$> hash w=~/Workspace
It's just another form of an alias and now I only have to do cd ~w to go there. Awesome, isn't it?
auto cd
I think cd is one of the most used commands in any shell and it can be annoying to type that two letters (and the blank) over and over again. zsh allows you to simply leave them and will detect if what you want to cd to is a directory and do the change.
[code lang="bash"]
$> /usr/local
$> pwd
$> ~w && pwd
The history in zsh is even more powerful than that in the bash. You may already know CTRL-R to search in the history, zsh has this too. But consider this: you type "ruby" and want to have all commands that started with that term. Just press arrow up and you will only see entries from the history that started with "ruby".
[code lang="bash"]
$> ruby
$> ruby foobar.rb
$> ruby test.rb
The auto completion features are one of the main causes why I love zsh. I find it very annoying, that autocompletion in bash is case-sensitive. This is not the case in zsh. And zsh allows programmatic autocompletion, so there's even autocompletion for kill(1) and you can chose the PID with your arrow keys!
zsh supports advanced globbing, e.g. if you use
ls **/*.html, the shell will list you all files in any directory under . that has the suffix html.
advanced cd
cd in the zsh has another nice feature: you can use it to change the directory by substituting parts of the current working directory with a new part. Let's say you are in /usr/local/bin and want to go to /usr/lib/bin, just do this:
[code lang="bash"]
$> cd local lib
$> pwd
These are just the most important features for me. I use them really often in my day-to-day work, if you want get more details have a look at the ZSH guide.
Using zsh from more than one machine
If you own more than one machine, you might want to have all you customizations (aliases and such) on all your machines. I solved this problem with git. Versionize your customizations and put them on github (or another provider). Take a look at my .home repository, it contains all my basic settings.
Feel free to fork and add your own settings :)
using oh-my-zsh
Robby Russell started an interesting project named oh-my-zsh, where zsh lovers share plugins, settings and themes that help you being even more productive on the shell. EDIT: don't use the original as it introduces some bugs and is said to be very slow. Use the fork from sorin-ionescu instead. You can find it here on github. It also allows you easy customization of your shell prompt. Here's mine:
As you can see, when I am in directories that contain a git repository, the shell shows me which branch I'm on (develop). The blue part is the directory I'm in (last part of the path only) and the yellow chars are the hostname. When I am working as root, a bold red label "root" would warn me of that fact.
That's the end of my little overview on zsh, but I hope you liked it. Try the Z shell and you'll see that it's fun and easy. Have fun! :)

Weird Virus or system problem... Help :S
You seem like you guys know what your doing, so. Anyways, I'm pretty sure I have a virus on my computer (either that or hardware malfunctions), But a few weeks ago I turned on my computer and all my music was gone. Itunes wouldn't open because "the required folder could not be found." I had a copy of all my music files in my "Libraries," but when I opened that, there was nothing there. I tried to restore default libraries but nothing happened.
Along with a lot of other weird shit, like I'm not able to change my desktop background because of an internal problem, and can't get certain programs to stop running, most things are normal.
Also, if it is a virus, Norton internet security doesn't consider it one, or can't detect it, and my other antivirus program won't open.
Can someone tell me if it really is a virus or if it's just a system problem? Thank you in advance.
|My System Specs
|02 Apr 2011
Please try the following in this order:
1. Go to a folder where you thought your music was stored. Right-click on the folder, and check to see if the Hidden attribute is checked. If it is, uncheck it and see if your music is still there.
2. Boot in Safe Mode with networking, and then download, install, update and run a FULL scan with Malwarebytes. Post the results here.
3. Download the F-Secure bootable ISO image, and burn it to a CD/DVD at 4x speed. Don't run it yet - lets first see what Malware bytes coughs up.
Also give us some more information about your system (eg. desktop, laptop, OEM OS, retail OS etc.). You mentioned another anti-virus software - which one is it?
|My System Specs
|02 Apr 2011
First off, when I open up libraries, its not like the folders are there and empty, but the folders are not there. I'll try and boot in safe mode and try step 2 now.
i'm running a desktop computer, Gateway (don't know the model), quad core processor, windows 7, and I've had it for a year and a few months. Don't know if any of that info helps but if you want specifics I can find out.
|My System Specs
|02 Apr 2011
So I ran the scan in Safe mode with the antimalware you suggested and had 48 infections :\
here are the results
|My System Specs
|02 Apr 2011
OK. Most of this looks like adware, but Trojan.Spyeye is also present and is more of a risk as it may steal confidential information.
c:\usxxxxxxxx.exe\config.bin (Trojan.SpyEye) -> No action taken.
Is your Windows 7 an OEM version, or a separate retail copy of Windows 7?
|My System Specs
|02 Apr 2011
I'm ran it again to be safe, but I already deleted the trojan. Some more viruses were found because last time I had to stop it before it finished completely. However, even though I'm glad those are off my computer, it still hasn't fixed any problems listed before. Do you know if this is hardware issues?
|My System Specs
|02 Apr 2011
We first need to make sure your system is clean before tackling any hardware issues.
You need to do a FULL Scan, not a QUICK scan. Also boot into Safe Mode to do these scans. Redo a FULL scan in Safe Mode, and quarantine/delete any items it finds, and post the logs again please.
You also need to tell me:
1. What other anti-virus you are using on your system - you mentioned two of them?
2. Is your Windows 7 an OEM, or retail version?
|My System Specs
|03 Apr 2011
I'll do the other scans in the morning, but Windows 7 came with the computer. Didn't put it on myself. And the other antivirus was just microsoft security essentials.

Cleveland Indians: 5 Intriguing Prospects Who Are Rarely MentionedJune 3, 2012
When people talk about the minor league prospects in the Cleveland Indians organization, they mostly discuss a small number of players. Names such as Francisco Lindor, LeVon Washington and Chen Lee are the some of the most usual suspects.
While those names are exciting to talk about, there are just as many intriguing prospects that are very rarely mentioned.
Here are five of those rarely mentioned prospects that fans of the Tribe should be excited about.
RHP Cody Allen (2012 stats thru 17 games: 1-1, 2.39 ERA, 26.1 IP, 33 K)
Right-handed relief pitcher Cody Allen is one of the most talented pitching prospects in the Cleveland organization. However, his name almost never comes up when talking about Tribe prospects.
He was drafted by the Indians in the 23rd round of the 2011 June First-Year Player draft. He played college baseball at High Point University.
In his first year in the organization, Allen worked his way up from Cleveland's low-level Single-A team up to their Double-A team. He made an even more impressive ascension this season by climbing from High-A ball all the way up to Triple-A.
If he can continue to strike people out at his current rate, he could be on the major league team before anyone has ever even heard of him.
DH/OF Jeremie Tice (2012 stats thru 42 games: .306 AVG, 11 HR, 45 RBI, 1.034 OPS)
Right-handed hitting outfielder/DH Jeremie Tice has been putting up impressive numbers on the Indians High-A team so far this season. He has shown a good balance of hitting for power and hitting for average. However, his name is seldom brought up when discussing future Tribe stars.
Tice was drafted in the 2008 First-Year Player draft in the sixth round. He was chosen out of the College of Charleston. He was previously selected by the Florida Marlins in 2006 but did not sign.
During the 2010 season, Tice ranked third among all Indians minor league players in RBI by driving in 79 runs.
If he can continue to swing the bat well as he advances through the organization, he should be wearing a Tribe uniform at the major league level in a few years.
RHP Steven Wright (2012 stats thru nine starts: 4-2, 1.72 ERA, 52.1 IP, 48 K)
Starting pitcher Steven Wright might not be considered a prospect by some because of his age. At 28 years old and only at the Double-A level, Wright might just be a late bloomer. His numbers so far this season have been unarguable impressive.
Wright was drafted in the second round of the 2006 First-Year Player draft. He attended the University of Hawaii. In the 2008 season, Wright finished second among all Cleveland minor league pitchers in innings pitched, fourth in ERA and fourth in strikeouts.
With some of the pitching prospects at Triple-A finally getting the call to the big leagues, Wright may soon get his chance at that level. If he can continue to pitch in Triple-A the way he has so far this year in Double-A, then Wright just may earn his way into the Indians major league rotation.
LHP T.J. House (2012 stats thru 10 starts: 6-1, 2.24 ERA, 60.1 IP, 54 K)
Starting pitcher T.J. House is another player in the Tribe's minor league system that does not garner much attention. However, the big left-handed pitcher has begun to show why the Indians chose him right out of Memorial High School in Picayune, Mississippi in the 16th round of the 2008 First-Year Player draft.
Even with the departure of Alex White and Drew Pomeranz in the Ubaldo Jimenez trade, T.J. House is one of the reasons Cleveland still has a deep starting pitching pool in the farm system.
1B Jesus Aguilar (2012 stats thru 50 games: .310 AVG, 5 HR, 25 RBI, .391 OBP)
Right-handed hitting first baseman Jesus Aguilar is one of Cleveland's best power-hitting prospects. At 6'3" and 257 pounds, Aguilar has the potential to someday become the power hitter from the right side of the plate that the Indians have been searching for for the past several years.
Aguilar was signed by the Indians as a non-drafted free agent in 2007. His best season came in 2011 when he was near the top of the farm system in several offensive categories. He finished last season ranked first in RBI with 82, second in home runs with 23 and third in hits with 131.
Although he is still playing Single-A ball, Aguilar should finish the season in Double-A. Aguilar will turn 22 at the end of June, so he still has plenty of time to continue to develop his dangerous bat.
While the top prospects in the minor league system might have the best chance to make an impact at the major league level, these five players definitely should start making their way onto the radar of both the Indians organization and fans alike.

Nigerian primary and secondary schools remained shut Wednesday as a nationwide strike over pay increases by the teachers union entered a second week with no solution in sight. The teachers launched the strike on June 30 to force the government to implement the promised pay deal after talks to avert the work stoppage broke down. Gilbert da Costa in Abuja has more for VOA in this report.
The union representing Nigerian college teachers decided to hold a three-day strike Wednesday to show its support for the Nigeria Union of Teachers, an umbrella organization representing primary and secondary school teachers in the oil-rich West African country.
Nigeria's most powerful union, the Nigeria Labor Congress, says it may join the strike if the government fails to resolve the dispute. Several civil society groups are also backing the strike.
Nearly half of Nigeria's 140 million people are under 16, and the stoppage is having a huge impact.
Clement Wasah of Community Action for Popular Participation, which promotes community participation in governance, says the strike is putting the future of millions of young Nigerians at risk.
"Majority of Nigerians have their children in public primary and secondary schools," he noted. "And this strike is coming at a time when those in secondary schools have prepared for the national examination. They are back at home, some of them are now engaged in street hawking, in the farms and so on. What it means is that many of the potentials, children from the poor homes who are in public schools, who may be able to go beyond secondary school may have their chances scuttled."
The Nigerian government says it would pay the new salary to teachers in federally-run schools, but it would not force state and local authorities to pay the enhanced rate in schools set up by them. The union is insisting that all teachers in the country should benefit from the new pay.
Teachers are among the lowest paid professionals in Nigeria. Union officials say a letter of appeal has been sent to President Umaru Yar'Adua, himself a former teacher, to intervene in the crisis.
Farouk Lawan, chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Education, says he has requested a meeting with the president over the matter.
"We raised the issue on the floor of the floor of the House of Representative and the house in a resolution resolved to request the federal government to begin the implementation of the TSS [Teachers' Salary Structure]. We have also taken the step to meet with the president to push for an accelerated response to the issue," he explained.
Many Nigerians feel the government is putting off reaching a settlement because the children of the rich do not attend state schools and most private schools have not been affected.

For the third time this week, I've bought a new book on BookFinder.com for less than the price of the cheapest used copy (including shipping).
My city is working on a climate action plan, which residents are being asked to respond to. I'm doing some background reading about the issues, and as part of that, I purchased two recent British books on the topic via BookFinder.com; in both cases, the price of a new copy was less than that of the used. For example, I bought Kyoto2 by Oliver Tickell for $17.45, far less than other new offers (e.g. $24.94 from Amazon.com), and a dollar less than the cheapest used copies. (All prices are postpaid to the U.S.)
My wife and I are trying to plan a vacation together, but we don't know really where to go (our vacations invariably revolve around visiting family). So we went to the local library last week and checked out a lot of travel books; among them, we both liked Make the Most of Your Time on Earth, a book of travel ideas. We just used BookFinder.com to buy a $16.47 copy from ValoreBooks, $1.06 less than the cheapest used copy, and $3.36 dollars cheaper than the Amazon.com new price.

My gut reaction is that there's just too much shit on sites that doesn't matter.
Sites are over engineered, over designed, over written, over weight.
And although there are some compelling "minimalist" sites (which frequently require just as much heavy lifting just out of sight), that's not what I'm talking about either. One can be too minimalist, just as one can be too Modern or any other style. And! Some minimalist sites push minimalism as an agenda too far, good information architecture be damned. (a worthy critique of the site you're on, by the way)
But then there are a sweet spot of fantastic visual design, excellent copy, and suitable development.
One example that I had ZERO to do with is Columbia College Chicago's site. www.colum.edu
In addition to simply looking great, there's a little PHP to handle online forms, and that's it. It's just HTML, JS, and CSS (from the looks of it, it's Foundation 5 SASS originally).
They also deleted 97% of their pages and applications went up 80%.
They thought about what it is they needed to say to be useful for their readers, and had the discipline to get rid of stuff they no longer needed. That's how you get results.
Content Strategy is not content marketing. Don't let too much of one destroy your site.

In "Conferences debate homosexuality" (May 7), staff writer Elizabeth Baier implies that the two views on homosexuality presented at recent Fort Lauderdale conferences are equally valid.
What the writer does not highlight is the fact that there is overwhelming scientific research that reparative therapy does not work. The American Psychiatric Association, American Psychological Association and National Association of Social Workers -- representing over 300,000 mental health professionals -- have all explored the research and ethics of reparative therapy and have come to the conclusion that reparative therapy is not only ineffective, but harmful.
Having people come to a conference and say they have been cured of being gay may sound convincing, but many of these so-called "ex-gays" have been shown to be either "still gay" or "never gay."
Mental health professionals subscribe to the ethic, "Do no harm." This guideline is also important for religious leaders and parents who have concerns about their children's well-being.

Hello again! Last week, contour drawing. – This week we were turning form. I think mine turned out ok. The paper I was using had a lot more tooth than it should have. For some reason the recommended brand doesn't come in smooth any more. The new way of holding my pencil is also holding me up a bit. I need to practice.
The roadblock with the pencil is my left-handed brain. So, it may sound weird to you right-handers, if you've never had to learn something from a lefty. But looking at how a pencil is being held in a right hand and converting that to how I would hold it and use it in my left hand is kinda tricky. Try to learn something from an "other" hander and you will understand.
Once, in wood shop in 9th grade, I was using a jig saw. I had my hands placed exactly where the shop teacher explained they should be for safety. My hands were backwards. You know what that means? I came about five jig saw cuts close to cutting my left thumb off. Luckily, I moved my hand in time.
Next week we start charcoal. This week – practice adding value!

International study centres are now dotted round the UK in both the most obvious and the least expected places. These centres serve as a means of teaching young people (usually from age 11-16) academic English and introducing them to English culture and English education. The aim of most of these schools is to provide a gentle transition for foreign (non-English-speaking) adolescents into life in an English school, often as boarders, and to prepare them for either A levels or, in some cases, the IB diploma, which then leads to university entry. In some cases GCSEs or IGSCEs are offered alongside intensive English language programmes to facilitate this preparation.
Independent boarding and day schools
It appears that as a growing number of independent boarding and day schools have seen the income potential of attracting foreign national pupils, some have opened international study centres as what might be described as adjunct 'feeder schools' within the main school. However, you might want to investigate the following as you consider this option:
- What criteria are used to determine admission at the various ages of entry? There may be an admissions test, but how does the school effectively assess non-English speakers, and their previous learning?
- How are English language and other assessment tests administered? Can this be done in the home country, and if so under what conditions?
- What are the qualifications of the teachers working with these pupils? What level of training do they have to teach EAL (English as an Additional Language), and what experience do they have of working sensitively and effectively with children from all over the world?
- How can the school demonstrate its understanding of the transition challenges faced by young people moving to the UK from another country? How does the school handle the orientation of new international pupils, and effectively integrate them into a cohesive community?
- How culturally, linguistically and economically diverse are the pupils who attend the international language centre? Large numbers of pupils from the same country may tend to talk amongst themselves rather than working on learning English. Wealthy pupils with extravagant spending habits can create a different sort of divide.
- Does the school encourage international pupils to celebrate and share their culture and linguistic heritage?
- How flexible is the school about dietary or religious practices?
- How knowledgeable are teachers about multilingualism? Many pupils intend to go to university in Britain, but need to keep up with their own language to a high academic level.
- How much interaction do the international study centre pupils have with the regular pupils? Do they share classes, sports, trips or accommodation? If the main school is both day and boarding, what proportion are boarders? Who will be around in the evenings and at weekends?
- How does the local community respond to the presence of a large group of international pupils? Are they welcoming, tolerant, or ambivalent? (This is a consideration for schools in small villages or towns or more rural locations.)
- How will the school handle any homesickness or culture shock? Does it make it easy for pupils to stay in touch with their families?
- What is the school's communication policy with parents? It parents do not speak English, it may be worth asking if there is anyone on the school staff who can speak the parents' language in the event of an emergency.
- How will the school manage the guidance and counselling with foreign pupils about the next stage of post-16 education (A level or IB, and course selection)?
- Ask what percentage of the international students are accepted into the school's sixth form after they have finished the international study centre programme. Where do those go who have not gained places, and how does the study centre help with finding a place elsewhere?
- Of course, parents of international pupils will want to know the information all parents seek from schools: inspection reports; pastoral, health and safety (including medical emergencies) and safeguarding policies (including off-site travel privileges and transport); examination results, university destinations. In the case of the latter two it is good to be specific about the international pupils as well as the overall pupil population
- Those who need visas to study in the UK must ensure that the study centre or school has the appropriate authority to issue CAS letters for the pupil.
- Lastly, those working via an educational agent, should make sure any financial arrangements are clear, and ensure that the international study centre is also in agreement with any transactions that are to take place with third party agents. Transparency about such matters is in the interest of all parties.

Our shipping customers vary widely, from art dealers and hospitals to families and estates. However, shipping wedding gifts is among some of our most unique jobs.
Shipping wedding gifts is a challenging task. Most gifts are given in their original packaging. For electronics and kitchen accessories, we keep the items in their original packaging and pack them in boxes with Styrofoam peanuts. For more fragile items, such as china, glass, and crystal, we have to remove all pieces from the original packaging. Each item is carefully prepared for shipping to adhere to our strict standards.
All packages are insured for their full value and shipped via FedEx or UPS. For weddings in Houston where the bridge and groom are moving elsewhere, we've handled the entire household in addition to wedding gifts.
As a result of our 25+ years experience and friendly customer service, we've had many satisfied brides and grooms refer us to their friends and family. Let us know if you have a wedding approaching. We'll be happy to serve all your shipping needs.

Corporate-sponsored Iowa laws should not be tolerated
Corporations — including Walmart, Bayer, GlaxoSmithKline, and Kraft Foods — are helping to write bills proposed in the Iowa House of Representatives.
The American Legislative Exchange Council is a quiet organization founded in 1973 with the goal of advancing a platform of, according to its website, "limited government, free markets, federalism, and individual liberty." The Exchange Council is composed of large corporations and state lawmakers; together, they craft "model bills" that are then pushed by Exchange-Council members across the nation.
Some legislators are pushing bills based on — or even identical to — the Exchange Council's model legislation right here in Iowa. The use of model legislation drafted in part by private entities is an affront to the democratic process and to the federalism that the Exchange Council claims to advance; Iowans have a right to know which legislators are collaborating with big business, and they should reject these legislators and their agenda.
The Exchange Council lists some, but not all, of the model legislation on its website. The other legislation was acquired by the Center for Media and Democracy, an admittedly left-leaning group, which made the legislation available to the public as part of its "American Legislative Exchange Council Exposed" project.
Since the beginning of the legislative period in January, there have been at least five bills that borrow language or complete text from the Exchange Council's model legislation: HF6, an act requiring a searchable tax-rate database; HR4, a resolution aiming to withdraw Iowa from the Midwestern Regional Greenhouse-Gas-Reduction Accord; HF95, which would require voters to present photo identification; HSB19, which gives only state government the power to pass firearms restrictions; and HF285, which forces an annual report on "intellectual diversity" in Iowa's public universities. Other bills, including bills that aim to counteract federal health-care reform and prohibit the state from regulating firearms during an emergency, are part of Exchange Council's agenda but not written by the organization.
None of these bills passed, and few made it out of committee. But even the proposal of legislation taken directly from a public-private partnership is concerning. Taking bills straight from the drafting room (where they were composed in part by private interests) to the floor of the Iowa House — without any mention of the origins of the legislation — bypasses citizen input and undermines the principles of democratic governance.
Rep. Ralph Watts, R-Adel, sponsored or cosponsored three of the five Exchange-Council bills that the DI Editorial Board found. When asked, he played down the significance of the group. "There's nothing sinister, there's nothing secretive about it," Watts told the Editorial Board on Thursday.
"The Exchange Council is open to the public. Anyone can be a member."
Anyone who pays the large fees required, except for lawmakers, who receive a vastly reduced bargain rate.
The Exchange Council isn't a conspiracy; it's not some big-business Illuminati. But it is a serious imposition of private interests into public governance. Instead of bills being written specifically for the needs of a state, or even state collaboration to solve regional problems, they're written en masse for reproduction in legislatures across the country. Bills pushed by national corporate interests are difficult for average citizens to fight; nationwide identical legislation at the state level takes advantage of more-accessible federalized power to effectively advance a particular agenda. While this agenda is conservative, a liberal organization like the Exchange Council would be just as damaging to the democratic process.
Iowa doesn't have the worst case of Exchange-Council perniciousness; that dubious honor goes to Wisconsin, whose Republican-dominated Congress has pushed through numerous Exchange-Council bills, including the infamous collective-bargaining measures, a voter ID bill (nearly identical to that pushed here in Iowa — it came from the same model legislation), and (in the early 2000s) a spate of telecom deregulations.
The legislators responsible for the Exchange Council bills in the past legislative session include Rep. Clel Baudler, Rep. Renee Schulte, Rep. Dawn Pettengill (who received $8,500 in campaign contributions from Exchange-Council corporations in 2010), and, of course, Watts. These legislators are failing to do their jobs. Representatives are elected to serve the needs of their constituents, which they cannot do if they are simply mouthpieces for private interests. If we allow Iowa's legislators to simply copy and paste bills that have already been voted on by big business, there is hardly a need for them; they are turned into middlemen.
Not all legislators who support Exchange-Council legislation necessarily know the origins of these bills. But many do, and many, including Watts, are responsible for perpetuating privately generated bills in the Iowa Legislature.
In a remarkable display of implausible denial, Watts told the Editorial Board he'd been advocating for HR4 — which would remove Iowa from the Midwest Regional Greenhouse-Gas-Reduction Accord in a boon to business — for a long time, and that he wasn't sure how similar it was to the Exchange Council bill.
It is, of course, identical.

Whisk together the granulated sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch, salt and 1/3 cup of the milk in a large bowl.
Heat the remaining 2 2/3 cups milk in a large saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Whisk half of the hot milk into the egg mixture until smooth, and then gradually whisk the egg mixture into the saucepan with the remaining milk. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly, and cook, continuing to whisk, until the mixture thickens, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the peanut butter until melted. Transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly, stirring a few times to prevent a skin from forming. Pour the filling into the crust, smoothing it out so that it reaches the edges of the pie crust. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and chill until set, at least 4 hours.
When ready to serve, whip the cream and confectioners' sugar in a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer until medium/stiff peaks form.
To assemble, top the pie with the whipped cream and garnish with the peanuts and chocolate chips.

Shannen Doherty marries Kurt Iswarienko in Malibu
Shannen Doherty married Kurt Iswarienko in Malibu on Saturday.
Let's hope the third time's a charm for Shannen Doherty: The former Charmed actress wed for the third time Saturday, marrying Kurt Iswarienko in Malibu.
The actress, who appeared back at her old zip code on 90210, announced her engagement to photographer Iswarienko in June -- at the same time she announced her upcoming reality show, The Shannen Doherty Project. The show will follow the lead-up to the couple's big day.
"This is an opportunity for audiences to get a rare sneak peek into the real Shannen, who has been notorious about guarding her private life," said WE tv's Senior VP of Original Programming and Development John Miller. "Her situations are familiar and [that's] what will make this series stand apart from other celeb-reality shows."
This is Doherty's third trip down the aisle. Her marriages to both Ashley Hamilton and Rick Salomon -- better known as Paris Hilton's sex tape partner -- each ended after nine months.
"Marriage to me is such a gigantic commitment that it's not something I'd ever go into lightly anymore," she told People last year. "I've learned my lesson."
Remember when Tori Spelling said she wanted to plan Shannen Doherty's wedding? We don't think she actually did, and she more than likely wasn't at the wedding. Spelling gave birth to her third child last week, and her most exciting tweet from the weekend read, "Sorry haven't tweeted. Been in baby bliss. Can it really be that I've been blessed w/newborn that sleeps 5-6 hrs in between feedings?"
Doherty herself has not tweeted to fans since December 2010. The Shannen Doherty Project is scheduled to debut in January on WE tv.

One of the first places that novelist Narrelle Harris and I visited on our first visit to London in 1990 was Baker Street, home of the great fictional detective Sherlock Holmes.
The Holmes novels and short stories have remained great favourites of ours over the years, supplemented by the fine TV versions starring, respectively, Jeremy Brett and Benedict Cumberbatch as Holmes.
Reflecting on the great detective, we realised the 60 adventures related by Dr John Watson via Sir Arthur Conan Doyle contain recurring life lessons which we would all do well to learn.
In Narrelle's blog Mortal Words she outlines the first six of these truths, so you might like to visit there first then return to this page.
For here are our final six Truths of Sherlock Holmes, with some of my London photos and references to stories which you can read via this link to Project Gutenberg. For your pleasure, there's an extra added bonus truth at the end:
7. It's a dangerous habit to finger loaded firearms in the pocket of one's dressing gown.
Goes without saying, even when confronted by Professor James Moriarty.
(See The Final Problem)
8. The days of the great criminal are past.
Holmes whinges almost constantly that crime has become dull and uninspired. The life lesson we can draw from this is that every job has its tedium and drudgery; there has to be some uneventful time available to update Holmes' biographical indexes and commonplace book, after all. But hang in there. Something interesting will show up eventually, possibly disguised as a routine task.
(See The Solitary Cyclist and just about every second story in the canon)
9. Holmes already knows everything, so your only hope is to confess the whole story, in a clear narrative structure.
If you're going to make a confession, make sure it's concise and in neat chronological order, so any nearby friend and colleague of the detective can easily take notes for later publication.
(See The Devils Foot, The Abbey Grange, The Blue Carbuncle, The Resident Patient and big chunks of A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of Four and The Valley of Fear)
10. It's never the gypsies.
Conan Doyle was always even-handed with his villains, who came from all walks of life. But never, apparently, from gypsy clans. They had enough on their plates, what with being blamed for every instance of horse stealing and petty theft throughout Europe. So much for stereotypes.
(See The Speckled Band; The Priory School; Wisteria Lodge)
11. You can't come up with a solution that ignores some of the facts.
On several occasions, police detectives (aka Scotland Yard bunglers) devise a theory they think is good enough, even though it leaves some quirky facts unexplained. This always turns out to be a bad idea, when Holmes shows them up by incorporating these facts into the correct solution. The moral is to not put the cart before the horse; let the facts lead you to the correct answer.
(See The Dancing Men, The Six Napoleons)
12. Run a mile from self-confessed "faddy people".
Their curious and seemingly harmless fads will inevitably prove to be cover for sinister deeds. Basically, if someone asks you to put on an electric blue dress and sit at a window while he tells you funny jokes, decline. It's probably not your colour, anyway.
(See The Copper Beeches, The Three Gables)
(See The Copper Beeches, The Three Gables)
And a bonus truth to make it a baker's dozen:
13. As you value your life or your reason, stay away from the moor.
Even if you do like dogs.
(See The Hound of the Baskervilles)
To delve further into the truths of Sherlock Holmes (for it is a capital mistake to theorise without data):
- Buy the original books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
- Buy the Granada Sherlock Holmes TV series starting Jeremy Brett and David Burke/Edward Hardwicke
- Buy the BBC Sherlock TV series starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman

GB romped to an easy victory in World Champions in Croatia this afternoon - setting up a gold-medal match against Ukraine tomorrow
Britain hammered Romania 6-1 in the World Championships Division 1B in Croatia.
Sheffield Steelers' captain Jonathan Phillips set GB on the road to an emphatic victory over Romania
He scored after three minutes and was a helper on Jonathan Boxhill's goal at 10;52.
Britain also enjoyed a 2-0 middle period, Robert Farmer and Colin Shields scoring.
Rob Dowd, back from illness, assisted on the first and another Steeler Ben O'Connor on the second.
Matthew Myers added a fifth at 48 minutes.
Ben Bowns was robbed of his shut out, when Ervin Moldovan Horvath netted a consolation with four minutes remaining.
GB had controlled the game and outshot Romania 58-11 including 23 shots in the second period.
Head coach, Pete Russell, said: "We did well out there. It wasn't pretty but we did what we had to do.
"They are such a focused bunch of guys and nothing seems to put them off their stride.
"This was a game we were expected to win and they went out and did that.
"It sets up a massive gold-medal match tomorrow and it is a game we have been building towards all week.
"It's exciting and we will now focus our attentions on Ukraine."
GB's final game against Ukraine tomorrow faces-off at 1pm in the Dom Sportova Arena (12noon UK time).

I am a bit concern what you guys are writing first of all it makes sense the first is as strong as madara no one complain how strong he was when he appeared. Second the first was called the god shining just some chapters ago, the guy fought the nine tails, now in his first appearance can you guys say he could defeat the nine tail ? Answer is no. And why is because his personality was practically block from the beginning of et, was it not mention by second that now they were reborn at 80 percent makes sense they are so powerful. Where is the plot hole ? No one before this chapter had seen the first true strength so now that you see stop bitching and accept it. Where is the retconning ? Can't call it that, is not like the power of dead characters had been measure in fact many et characters came out to be stronger than usual. This days people find anything to complain about just enjoy the chapter is better than the past what 50 we seen.

If the first was suppose to be this strong, we should have known when Orichimaru summoned him, or sometime else during the first season.
But since we didn't, we can assume that even the author didn't intend for the First to be this strong, and I can understand why some people would take some issue with that.
That being said, I don't really read or watch Naruto for sound logic or to find it's fallacies. I read for enjoyment, and you're right, these last few chapters has been some of the best that I've seen. I don't have time to be a critic when I see the awesomeness that we are witnessing.

back when madara and hashirama were alive, madara had none of those things and therefore should have been much weaker than edo-madara (although still very strong of course). but i agree with yogotah. i'm not really complaining. i'm just pointing out that the first wasn't intended to be so super strong when compared to hiruzen and minato, but now he towers above everyone else, even madara, since madara had to use the kyuubi's power to stand on even ground and he wound up losing

Kishimoto started to make Hashirama and Madara the titans towering above everyone else mirroring the future Naruto and Sasuke at the end of part 1 when he made gargantuan statues of them at the gorge of the end. Virtually every arcs since then have had characters hyping them to kingdom come.
It was a retcon many years ago but it has been this way for nearly two third of the story now.

One could also ask how did this godlike ninja die so early. Also why didn't Madara return to rule the world after the 1st died. But of course many questions are answered a bit later by the author. Of course usually the answer itself can raise even more questions and complaints One example was lately how could Naruto keep using the kyuubi's chakra with so many clones when it was clearly stated that he can't make clones in kyuubi mode. The answer itself came a bit later, but it also raised the question: why is the kyuubi suddenly so friendly with Naruto after all the years of hatred and rage.

Pretty much what Hunter said. If anything I feel everyone else has a been slightly retconed into this cookie cutter ninja role and the so called "dangerous ninja world" has been retconed into the "ninja world that had dangerous villanous ninja, that all died years ago (with the exception of the former Akatsuki)", moreso then the past Hokages not being overpowered enough.
Now back to the scheduled kickass...

BTW one more reason for Hashirama to join Naruto in this battle is to show him his power, since Naruto wanted to surpass all the past hokages he should be aware what sort of godlike powers he has to surpass

Hashirama isn't the end all be all,he has a unique ability but he can be beat just like anybody in this story.Just spray him with weed killer.What i mean is that every jutsu has a weakness and every power has an anti power.Even Bijuu power isn't the greatest,it's all how you use what you got.Shikamaru defeated the imortal Hidan and he did it with brains more than with chakra levels.

Don't you think that Naruto has hit a power ceiling? He's done sage, he's mastered the nine's tail power....I really don't know what else he could do to get stronger....but I can hear Kishi's voice now saying " Don't tempt me, don't tempt me "

Naruto, right now, is almost just pure strength with some ingenuity mixed in. If he could ever actually learn how to harness that strength in truly productive manner then he would easily surpass all that came before him.

I think Naruto has received so many power-ups in quick succession during this arc that people just don't really realize how ridiculously powerful he is become.
The guy just supercharged thousands, tens of thousands of fodders into pseudo Jinchuuriki increasing their power hundreds folds without breaking a sweat and chakra cloaked them into a blade that cut the limbs of a being who knocked down a Bijuudama with a flick of its finger.
Learning something new is so last year, now it's just do it. Whatever *it* is.

The day after an intense race at the Motorland Aragon circuit, MotoGP held its first full Michelin tire test since Sepang this year. The track was open to any teams wishing to give the Michelin tires a spin, or work on the setting of their bikes.
Fourteen riders elected to make use of the opportunity, including both Repsol Honda riders, the Tech 3 Yamaha duo, both LCR Honda riders, and the Aprilia men, along with Scott Redding, Aleix Espargaro, Danilo Petrucci and Valentino Rossi.
Michelin had brought three rear tires and four front tires to Aragon, keen to get some data from the circuit, as they have not had much testing at the track, and very little in the dry.
