One of the more interesting land tests was Operation Plumbbob conducted in 1957. A little town was erected around the blast site complete with animals such as pigs and rabbits. 710 pigs were exposed to shot Priscilla, all died from blast and radiation.

Nuclear weapons ..
The scary parts about the nuclear programs are ...
Roosta Friday Feb 11 07:47 PM
I saw a programme on telly a few years back that said that there is about 25 briefcase sized nuclear weapons missing and in circulation in the world. Frightening stuff....

What made so many surface to air missiles useless to terrorists? Batteries went dead.
Worry little about the nukes. Worry far more about biological and conventional weapons. History should make that obvious. Destructive weapons using the simplest technology and not stuff hyped in movies should worry you more.
That is the genius of the 11 September attacks. Even Tom Clancy was predicting such an attack. And yet they walked right in, even with fake NJ Drivers Licenses, to attack the WTC, Pentagon, and a field outside Johnstown. Where were all the expensive, hyped, high tech weapons? How did they slaughter so many school children in (forgot the name) last September? Guns hidden underneath a floor. There is the greater danger in part because we hype the wrong threat.

Granted, there are simplistic terrorist means to inflict damage .. but the terrorists desire is for a ''high impact" hit on America .. could you imagine the rejoicing in Muslim terrorist centres if they managed to pull off a nuclear hit in the heartland of America??

My father was in the Air Force in the 1950s. He was based in Hawaii and was responsible for testing of cloud samples to determine when the Soviets were doing testing, as well as, I suppose, to see what the distribution patterns of fallout for our own nuclear blasts were.

Having had my curiosity aroused by what appears to be an excellent book (if you get the mad notion to scan the whole tome, Wolf, count me in for a .pdf file copy of it...), I spent some time looking for info on space-based nuclear testing. It seems there's a video out on this topic, and my local library system has it, so I'm going to be reserving that very soon, along with some of the other videos by the same group of documentarians.

I have a poster leftover from college of an atomic test. I never did know which one. This book may help me identify it. I really need to get that framed and hung.

As for the Demolition Charges - those are the ones they usually call "Backpack nukes" - you can see them at the National Atomic Museaum in Albuqurque (sp) The exhibit explained that the initial idea was that IF the US was invaded, they wanted to be able to destroy the Hoover Dam and some others to deny the enemy the use of the water/and or electricity.
Just remember, most of the really "odd" nukes have been pulled from service, because the percieved need is gone, either because the threat isn't there anymore (Invasion - yeah, right) OR because we have come up with technology to do the same job with a lot smaller bang
One "interesting" then you can see in looking at "western" militaries, at least since the 1960s. They have been spending a LOT of money to develop SMALLER weapons that have less "collateral" damage. I mean, you've seen pictures of the "MOAB" and the "Bunker Busters" - they replace nukes to do the same job.
Just a point of view of someone who studies military history for fun
glatt Monday Feb 14 09:52 AM
I've never heard of nuclear testing in space before. Not detonations of bombs anyway. I would be surprised if it is true.
Bitman Monday Feb 14 07:49 PM
Funny, I have tons of responses to this stuff, none of it very insightful. Oh well.

FusedVR Attempt To Rebuild Fruit Ninja VR From Scratch
As some of you already know, hitting and swinging things with handheld motion controllers in VR is incredibly fun – usually more so than it looks to the average bystander.

In light of its release, FusedVR, have announced that they will be attempting to recreate Fruit Ninja as part of their weekly series of Live Streamed VR tutorials.

Grovo.com, a new online training site, is running a campaign to help generation XO around the world. They are donating $1 for every person who signs up (the service is free) between now until December 31st. They are also thinking about how to help new XO users learn to use the Internet in different ways. Here's some background on Grovo from one of their early case studies. I can't wait to see is a series of tutorials like this on how to use, say, the most popular sites in a very different online stting, like Nigeria or Korea (where I have a hard time figuring out the social and procedural norms).0

Companies like Uber and Lyft can soon start offering rides in West Virginia under a new law approved by Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin.
The Democrat signed a bill Tuesday letting ridesharing companies operate in the state. The Republican-led Legislature passed it with only a handful of `no' votes.
The law takes effect July 1.
It applies to companies using smartphone apps to book rides.
Companies will need a nondiscrimination policy and must comply with nondiscrimination laws.
The law requires a Division of Motor Vehicles permit, car insurance, underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage, a zero tolerance drug and alcohol policy, and driver background checks.
Charleston and Morgantown have been mentioned as likely locations for ride-booking companies.
In a statement, Uber said it looks forward to offering rides in the coming months.

John Stephenson wrote: AMSAT-NA and AMSAT-DL will determine the exact orbits when they fire the onboard rocket engines. They will both be Molniya orbits similar to AO-13. Wayne replies: P3E is planned to go into a Molniya (high-inclination HEO) orbit. The new Eagle brochure states that Eagle will have limited propulsion capability to merely boost the perigee of the initial GTO orbit (low-inclination HEO). So P3E's apogee would be in far northern latitudes (like AO-13's early years) and Eagle's apogee would be near the equator (like AO-40). The coverage footprints are significantly different, and the orbital period and daily precession would be different as well. I think it's a GOOD thing that the two satellites will be in different orbits. The P3E orbit maximizes east-west DX range for folks in the northern hemisphere. The Eagle orbit maximizes north-south DX range for everybody, and is much more useful for folks in the southern hemisphere. If both satellites get to their intended orbit, hams in the northern hemisphere will be able to contact almost every place on earth without needing an relay link between the satellites. I doubt that "internet relay" contacts would be valid for awards such as DXCC. Wayne Estes W9AE Oakland, Oregon, USA ---- Sent via firstname.lastname@example.com.

Three Tech Stocks Kicking Off 2013 with a Bang
Feb 04, 2013, 08:50 EST
LONDON, February 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Banks and Home Builders have faired to be the winners of 2012 with gains upwards of 50% for the 2nd half and entire 2012 calendar year respectively. However closing the year off and the introduction to the 2013 calendar year has to go to the techs.
Akami Technologies (NASDAQ: AKAM) is looking at approximately 30% closing out 2013 and introducing the 2013 calendar year. Agreements with AT&T, Acquisition of Verivue, and the "Best place to work in 2013" can only be a few of the reasons for investors ROI over the past 60 calendar days. Earnings are due out tomorrow so this is definitely one to keep on your watch list for at least the next 48 hours.
MEDL Mobile, Fountain City, California based mobile app company announced the beta launch of their latest creative brainchild today and it is absolutely phenomenal. Dubbed Hang w/, the platform allows real-time live video to be sent from one phone to many phones at the same time. It is the first live mobile broadcast service for fans and celebrities. Hang w/ followers will view a short ad and then go directly to live feed from the celebrity smartphone. Another advertisement ends the broadcast. Those broadcasting earn a percentage of the revenue generated based upon the number of followers who are "hanging w/" them.
Limited public investment opportunities exist in the mobile monetization arena. Competitor Glu Mobile (NASDAQ: GLUU) is an option, but clearly does not offer the spectrum of services to clients that smaller MEDL offers nor does it have the library of app options that MEDL has built and continues to build. Gluu has a market cap of $158.93 million as opposed to MEDL's $9 million market capitalization, yet MEDL has left the larger company in the dust as far as growth rate and options for consumers. Millennial Media, Inc., another mobile advertising company, has 100 times the market cap of MEDL yet has not experienced nearly the growth that MEDL has this past year.
Another approximate 25% gainer over closing out 2012 and opening 2013 was VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN). VeriSign gets a fee every time somebody registers a domain name and more than five million domains have been added to the internet in the third quarter of 2012 alone. An increase of 2 percent over the previous quarter. Just 60 days ago, the Commerce department extended its contract to manage the registry for another six years. The mean opinion is a "hold" on the stock, but keep an eye on it as more ideas equal higher profits. And we are betting on global innovation.

Who does Kevin Durant remind you in the NBA Finals?
Magic Johnson? Michael Jordan? LeBron James?
I have to go with Anna Nicole Smith.
The late, great bombshell started out as a waitress at Jim's Krispy Fried Chicken in Mexia, Texas, then worked in a Houston strip club.
There she met an older gentleman named J. Howard Marshall. Smith became the World's Greatest Gold Digger when she married the 89-year-old oil tycoon.
She was 26.
Durant was 27 when he married the J. Howard Marshall of the NBA last July.
By signing a free-agent contract with the Warriors, Durant essentially admitted Oklahoma City was Jim's Krispy Fried Chicken and he'd never strike...

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN — A roadside bomb killed four American troops in southern Afghanistan, the U.S. said Friday.
Two service members were killed instantly in the blast Thursday and two others later died of their wounds, the U.S. said in a statement. No further details were released.
So far this month, 25 U.S. service members have died in Afghanistan, according to an Associated Press count.
Elsewhere, four Afghans, including at least two civilians, died Friday during a battle between militants and a U.S.-Afghan force in Ghazni province.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization-led coalition said two militants fired from a building and troops shot back, killing two gunmen. It said troops later found two civilians who died of their wounds.
Ghazni Police Chief Gen. Khail Buz Sherzai said the dead were all civilians.

Geek Pride Day!
Had no idea that this existed but it does. The question is I guess, are you geek enough to celebrate?
MSQGanner CenturionIdk if i'm geek enough to celebrate but i am enough to recieve geeky gifts lol
the1npc n00bumm maybe? I usually wear glasses so thats like 2-3 points right there
Ozzi CenturionI don't think i'm geek enough. If you asked me this question a few years ago I would have been geek enough.
AnThMaN n00bI love videogames and blogging about them, but that's all. Maybe ill buy a few tshirts here n there and own a racing cockpit for forza. Is that enough to make me a geek?
DjDATZ n00bI'm not sure I'd qualify... My life has been overruled by a sport that I am crazy about. I do still work an IT job, get sucked into my devices way too much, and game as much as I can!

Hi there! I'm open to basically anything, my limits are: 1)outdoor/public, 2) eating a whole load of scat, 3) putting scat inside of my vagina. Other then that, I'm all game!
My base price for custom videos is $30, with a price increase based on content/complexity. Something that would qualify for only the $30 would be simply watching me shit in white panties, or on the floor.
I love to make customs, so shoot me a message! <3

Founded in 1902, Cadillac is one of the oldest of all surviving American automobile brands. By 1909, when they were acquired by General Motors, Cadillac had already established itself as a leader of innovation and luxury. Many features that we take for granted on today's cars can be traced back to Cadillac – the first electric starter, the first electric lamps, the first synchromesh transmission, the first dual-plane crankshaft V8 and even the first V16 engine. Cadillacs were renowned for their exceptional build quality and elegant style, and Cadillac designers and engineers strove to live up to their slogan: "The Standard of the World".
The 355 series was an 8-cylinder model manufactured between 1931 and 1935. It was available in variety of standard body styles that ranged from a formal limousine to a sporting 2 door convertible coupe. Cadillac had previously had a naming system where the model name coincided with the engine size, but for some reason that changed in 1931 and the 355 carried over the Series 353's 5.8 liter, 353 cubic inch V8 L-head engine. Output was a stout 95 horsepower, plenty enough to give the big Cadillac very respectable performance for its day and earn Cadi

It has been suggested to me to do a whole Baja Turbo swap; Engine, Turbo, Sport Shift 4EAT and all.
It has been suggested to me to do a whole Baja Turbo swap; Engine, Turbo, Sport Shift 4EAT and all.
I don't think it was ever clearly answered in this thread, but to answer conclusively... the Sport Shift feature on Baja and 3rd-gen Legacy is exclusive to specific 4EAT Phase 2, Version 1 transmission assemblies with a special Sport Shift solenoid. It might be possible to add this solenoid and the harness to connect it to the valve body, or replace the valve body altogether with one from a Sport Shift enabled 4EAT:

I chimed in on an old NASIOC thread on Sport Shift. My hopes of a straightforward Sport Shift transmission swap into my '98 BK were crushed when it was explained to me that the Phase 1 Engine & ECU will not talk to the Phase 2 Transmission and TCU.
However, '99 Legacy owners could take advantage of their transition year and probably make it work with their Phase 1.5 Engine/ECU and Phase 2 Tranny/TCU:
What is the difference between the '98 Legacy ECU for Phase 1 EJ25D, and the '99 Legacy ECU for Phase "1.5" EJ25D? If they are interchangeable, then maybe the Sport Shift TCU could be made to work in pre-'99 Legacy 2.5's?
My JDM Sport Shift assembly arrived today, It's pretty nice! So anyway I talked to the transmission shop just before closing, they took it for a test drive and agreed with my symptoms, which they described as "weird" haha. Tomorrow they'll take off the pan and have a look inside for metal bits. Seems like it could be a parking gear issue.

I was hoping to pioneer a Phase 2 Sport Shift into a Phase 1 Legacy, but I could only have the transmission shop stall for so long while I researched transmission harness wiring diagrams. They rebuilt my factory transmission and it wasn't cheap. The car is ready to pick up today. I did have them install the JDM Sport Shift gear selector, but I'll have to install an aftermarket TCU at a later date to enable manual shift features.
Well 2 LEGT is finally back on the road:
Original TZ-series Phase 1 4EAT transmission rebuilt
(EDIT: It's not the same case, the bellhousing code is different than original code).
New differential clutch packs (there's going to be a bit of chatter in tight turns for a few hundred miles until they break in), solenoid assembly, banner kit, pump assembly, CV axle shaft, TransGo RE4R01A-HD2 Stage 2 Performance Shift Kit, new torque converter, and new external transmission cooler:
They put in my JDM Sport Shifter using my adapter harness for regular automatic gear selection:
Mark, the transmission shop owner/head tech, was pleased that the harness worked plug-and-play perfectly:
Clearly I need to come up with a better shifter surround, I'm thinking a bit of black neoprene. For now I've got a bit of black gaffer tape to cover the edges of the shifter. It looks awful, but hopefully not for long:
Later this summer I'll look into the Forced Four shift box setup and put the Sport Shift gate and JDM Sport Shift steering wheel to actual use:

I am trying to swap a jdm https://m.ebay.com/itm/JDM-02-05-SUB....c100890.m2460 trans in my forester and I was wondering how you swaped the sport shifter.
I'm hoping the one from a baja is plug and play. Which wires did you have to merge or did you run new wires to the tcu?
In hoping I can swap that trans into my 04 fxt, baja tcu and a baja sport shifter and get the vtd in there too.
How is your legacy and have you installed the stuff to get the gear selection?

Congratulate Samsung. :)
By looking people surrounding you, it is firm mostly use Samsung nowadays. :)
These are only the numbers of handsets shipped by each manufacturer as opposed to how many have actually been sold. Samsung could have shipped 10 million of their SGS3 to USA, but if only 1 million were sold so far and 9 million are still sitting in stores around the country then thats not a good thing. We need to see the sales figures, not the shipment figures.
Well done Samsung,you're their for the sole reason that people buy your products because they have a choice.
Congrats to Sammy once again..........Sammy is no.1 because they make the best devices..........Sammy should release their next Galaxy note when iPhone 5 will release and at the same time they should upgrade to Jelly bean to beat iPhone5.........
whether u hate it or love it, it has killed nokia from no 1 spot n put it on no 2 wereas in smartphone category they throw apple on 2nd spot n my eyes hardly see nokia WPs as they r much far from 1st or 2nd spot... Same way LG, HTC,.motorola, sony,all r behind samsung... Whether u believe it or not, but samsung is way ahead thn u all n one more thing if u dont believe in these figures thn u should not be allowed to comment or browse this site...i think i made u cry,,, well keep some for 3rd and 4th quarter of thz year... :-P

Not all Filipinos are poor. That's quite a bit harsh judgement. Even on my previous comments i stated that, "NOT ALL Filipinos can afford......".

The options are: take a carrier plans for smartphones or buy it on installment basis. Cash basis is quite hard if you don't have a decent job.

Oh, btw, you might want to guard the samsung store and check if they are all really buying those then come back here and defend your thought.=)
MarkusLeto, 17 Jul 2012I choose Nokia and Sony always.. never Samsung. Ugly Sammy phones.Huh, samsung ugly? No, absolutely not Mr.! You must have had a nasty experience with a fake one, sorry!
Great, You guys deserve it coz you work so hard! Kuddos to Danish & team (in Kenya)...and everyone else globally!

We choose to go to the moon.Why?Because we can and we choose samsung and not poor duff antique windows phones.Long live samsung you deserve it.Show nokia and crapple what competition is.Well i meant show apple not nokia as there no competition.
It is not that surprising to see Sammy increasing their smart phones sales. Congratulation Sammy. Just keep on improving the smartphone design, reliablility and battery performance.
Ok I bought Samsung S3 after using IPhone for 2years and drop the Samsung S 3 once the inner literally cracked but iPhone dropped more than 6 times already very disappointed with durability of the Samsung ......
Now Apple fans can thank profusely to Samsung. They will get their iPhone sooner than expected. That's called competition and is always welcome.
Apple starts feeling the pressure of a real competitor that is beyond the lawsuit trick and the only thing they have left to do is move on, catch up, shake that lazy a$$ of theirs to release phones in a faster pace than once a year. Let's hope iPhone 6 (or whatever it gets named) hits the shelves around summer next year.
Thank you Samsung. You deserve to be thanked from both Android and iOS sides, for bringing capable gadgets that challenge Apple's monopoly over top tier smartphones, thus accelerating the market and giving us better quality products. Long live to both platforms (even 3 with WP, if it ever makes it to the major leagues)!
thank you guys! thanks a lot! to nokia, sony, & LG thanks for all your suppports!
I choose Nokia and Sony always.. never Samsung. Ugly Sammy phones.

Welcome to my new NMR blog. I hope to use this blog to discuss interesting new publications in the literature.
Today I'm going to review a recent JACs communication by Perrone et al.
The title of this paper is '"NMR Chemosensing" Using Monolayer-Protected Nanoparticles as Receptors.'
A chemosensor is a "molecule of abiotic origin that signals the presence of matter or energy". As a very general concept, a chemosensor can be imagined as a "supramolecular receptor" that selectively binds its target (the analyte), which causes some measurable change in a physical property (such as absorbance, redox potential, relaxivity, etc.) It does not take a vivid imagination to dream up uses for chemosensors and thus, there are many scientists in the world making chemosensors. To distinguish their chemosensor from all the other sensors out their, Perrone and co-workers make the following observation regarding the current state of chemosensor research: for most chemosensors "the signal produced arise from a property of the chemosensor itself and therefore does not provide any direct information on the identity of the analyte detected." These authors approach is the opposite. In this publication they describe a chemosensor in which the analyte-sensor interaction alters a physical property of the analyte. The measurement step queries physical properties of the analyte not the sensor. OK. It is novel. Is it useful? (I am not 100% convinced that the author's approach offers advantages over the more common receptor-centric approach, but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt at this stage.)
How do they makes these sensors? They use 2nm diameter gold nanoparticles coated with thiol monolayer, which seems to be the expertise of this group. This monolayer is amphiphilic (for example, 7 carbon alkyl chain linked to a triethylene glycol head group via amide, 1).
Next, a mixture containing 70 uM chemosensor and 7 mM of 3-5 water soluble organic acids or sulfates (see the roster below) in D2O is prepared.
A curious choice of molecules! I wonder how the authors settled on these five.
At any rate, let's get down to the experiment It is expected that hydrophobic molecules will partition into the hydrophobic moiety of the monolayer, whereas hydrophilic molecules will interact with both the polar headgroup and polar solvent. This mixture is probed using a NOE-pumping experiments, that works like STD NMR. Briefly, the nuclear spins of aliphatic region of the monolayer are perturbed (inverted or saturated). Some of this perturbation is transferred via NOE to small molecules partitioned into the hydrophobic monolayer. Assuming these molecules are in fast exchange with free solvent, there will be signals in the resulting spectrum that arise from the analyte (not the sensor) as a direct consequence of interaction with the sensor. The fact that the analyte has to be in fast exchange with the receptor has consequences for the detection limit, acquisition time and affinity towards the receptor.
The first example presented is a mixture of 4, 7 and 8. The chemosensor + NOE pumping experiment shows remarkable selectivity and signals from only one molecule are detected!
The top spectrum is the aromatic region of the 1D 1H of a mixture of 4, 7 and 8 at a concentration of 7 mM in D2O. The bottom spectrum is the aromatic region of the NOE-pumping experiment of the same mixture with 70 uM 1-coated gold nanoparticles. I am impressed. Two comments, though. First, you can almost see a little bit of 7 peaking out of the noise. Am I wrong? Second, the authors do not mention the experimental conditions of the NOE-pumping experiment. I understand that this publication is a JACs communication and the authors do not have a lot of space for extraneous information. It is just that I'm curious about the sensitivity of the NOE-pumping experiment. How many scans did they have to record to get the bottom spectrum? (At a later point in the paper it is implied that the acquisition time is 4 hours using NOE-pumping.)
The authors follow up on this experiment by demonstrating the selectivity of their chemosensor. For instance, in a mixture of three isomers of salicylate (4, 5 and 6) with 1-coated nanoparticles, the NOE-pumping experiment only show signals for 4. (This data can be found in the SI. I have no idea why the author's buried it there.) Once again I am impressed, even if a bit of 5 and 6 seem to peak out of the noise. The authors measure the apparent association constant, as well, to demonstrate that quantitative analyte detection with their chemosensor. The detection limit for salicylate is 2.5 mM (OK, now I am a bit less impressed. By the way, at the end of the paper the author's mention STD-NMR can be used in lieu of NOE-pumping. Using STD-NMR the detection limit is 250 uM and the acquistion time is 30 minutes. Why did they bother with NOE-pumping?) At this stage the authors have convinced the reader that their 1-coated
nanoparticle in combination with the NOE-pumping experiment is
selective for sodium salicylate, even in the presence of isomers. The
authors do not report results for the detection of salicylate (4) in a solution enriched in 5 and/or 6.
One might accuse them of dodging the issue of false positives, but I'll
cut them some slack because this article is a JACs communication. The authors are excellent communicators and do a nice job of leading their audience away from the short-comings by highlighting the positives. I wish I were this skillful at this technique!
Since the authors have convinced us of the "what", they turn the "how" and "why". Why do 1-coated nanoparticles and the NOE-pumping experiment detect 4 and not 5? It goes back my introduction of their technique. Hydrophobic molecules partition themselves into the aliphatic moiety of 1. The authors note that the elution order of a mixture of 4-8 using reverse-phase C18 HPLC is 8 << 7 < 6 < 5 << 4. The interpretation of this result is that 4 is the most hydrophobic. Likewise the computationally predicted logD at pH 7.4 concurs with the elution order. In other words, it seems salicylate really is more hydrophobic than the isomers and the chemosensing technique described in this publication relies of this fact. Of course, this highlights a potential weakness in selectivity. Will you ever be able to distinguish between two hydrophobic compounds (with equal C18 retention time and/or logD)? Can we modify the chemistry of the coating thiols to distinguish molecules using a property other than hydrophobicity?
The authors put a positive spin on these questions. Let me quote the paper. "Since there are no limitations on the chemical structures of the analytes and the nano particle-coating thiols, the NOE pumping experiment has the advantage of very general applicability." Really? No limitations? The authors make 2 and 3-coated nanoparticles and return to their mixture of 4, 7 and 8 at a concentration of 7 mM in D2O. The aromatic region of the NOE-pumping experiment with 2-coated nanoparticles as the receptor shows signals from 4, 7, 8 and an impurity of 8 (middle spectrum, below). The authors refer to this result as "different selectivity." I would call this NO selectivity myself, but hey you say PO-TAY-TOE, I say PO-TOT-TOE. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ3fjQa5Hls). The aromatic region of the NOE-pumping experiment with 3-coated nanoparticles as the receptor shows signals from 4 and 7 (bottom spectrum, below).
Let me conclude by stating that I do not want my criticisms to overshadow the excellent science in this communication by Perrone et al. I am a nobody, whereas the authors are doing the hard, creative work of producing scientific knowledge. I am genuinely impressed by their approach and I appreciate that this publication is the first step in a long journey. Having said that I will be more impressed when they design a sensor to detect something a bit more interesting than 5 mM salicylate spiked into urine! One example that springs to mind is enantiomeric impurities. There are pharmaceuticals (for examaple, penicillamine - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penicillamine) that have a single chiral carbon. One enantiomer is a powerful therapeutic agent; the other is a deadly poison! In 2004 Tsourkas and co-workers published a communication (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15114571) describing an antibody-based magnetic relaxation switch capable of detecting an impurity of 0.1 uM D-Phenylalanine in the presence of 10 mM L-Phenylalanine. (That is 99.998% ee if you are keeping score at home!) It is difficult for me to see how the monolayer-protected nanoparticles introduced by Perrone et al. will approach this level of sensitivity and discrimination.

You know who has been of help? I can tell you right now it's the American People that's been the one's who have helped," he explains. According to Gowan one wealthy individual came forward to donate an entire tractor trailer truck of emergency generators to the town. "It didn't come from the Government let's put it this way," Gowan explains stiffly.This is just one example of how the plight of those injured by Sandy has been ignored by the mainstream media, and how Barrack Obama has not been held accountable to the same standards George W. Bush was in wake of Hurricane Katrina. Gowan becomes obviously emotional when he talks about the Government's reaction to his pleas for help."I believe in the American Flag because number one I served my country … I don't believe in our Government sometimes. I took my flags down because of the storm, but it's back up [sic]. I believe in that flag. There's a lot of things I don't believe in but I believe in that flag."How are folks getting by? Gowan explains: "We're a tight knit community here and we are helping each other out."----------------------------------------------------He's got alot of views for it. He interviews a Vietnam vet, that's who "Gownan" is.

IN a speech Oct. 27, Russian President Boris Yeltsin announced plans to ban a newly formed political opposition front of former Communists and extremist nationalists.
President Yeltsin told a meeting of senior officials of the Foreign Ministry that the National Salvation Front, which held its founding meeting Oct. 24, was illegal and unconstitutional, according to the official Itar-Tass news agency.
"The Front calls for the overthrow of the lawful authorities, destabilizes society, and sets people against each other," Yeltsin said. "This is impermissible and urgent measures must be taken."
However, no specific decree or law has yet been drawn up, the head of the president's press service, Anatoly Krasikov, told the Monitor. "The president, as a citizen, was discussing the ways of preserving democracy," he said. The issue might be discussed at a scheduled Oct. 28 meeting of the president's Security Council, the most powerful inner decisionmaking body in the Yeltsin administration, the official said.
The move against the most hard-line opposition to the government comes at a time of rising political tensions. Yeltsin has squared off against the Parliament for going ahead, over his objections, with a meeting of the country's supreme legislature on Dec. 1. The National Salvation Front, whose members include numerous members of the Parliament, plans to use that meeting as an occasion to seek the resignation of Yeltsin and his Cabinet and the formation of a "national salvation cabinet."
The Front claims a membership of 50,000, according to its chairman, parliamentarian Ilya Konstantinov. He told the independent Interfax news agency that the Front would press for abandoning the radical market reforms of the Yeltsin government, returning to state-controlled prices and government control over industrial and agricultural enterprises. While the Front plans to hold mass meetings, strikes, and demonstrations to press its views, Mr. Konstantinov also said they would act through parliamentary me ans.
YELTSIN and his close allies in the government however have depicted the group, which includes many hard-line Communists and neo-fascists, as a force akin to those who attempted the putsch in August 1991. "This is a terrible threat, but the West is yet unaware of it," Yeltsin said, urging the Foreign Ministry to explain this danger through its embassies abroad.
Yeltsin also vowed to continue the government's reform policies despite the growing criticism and calls for formation of a coalition government that would slow the reform pace.
"I consider it my high priority task to defend the policy of transformations in Russia and ensure its progress," he said. He attacked the decision to convene a December meeting of the Congress of Peoples Deputies as a "purely confrontational [decision] intended to boost another turn in the spiral of political struggle between the two branches of power."
The opposition in the Parliament to the government comes not only from the Front but also from the centrist Civic Union, a four-party alliance that includes the lobby of factory directors led by former Gorbachev aide Arkady Volsky. They claim to support reforms but seek a shift away from "shock therapy" approaches. The Civic Union has been calling for the ouster of a number of ministers, aides of reform chief and Acting Premier Yegor Gaidar.
"The change of government is unavoidable," wrote Vitaly Tretyakov, editor in chief of the respected Nezavisimaya Gazeta, in an article Oct. 27. "Consequently the government should be changed as soon as possible and on the president's initiative. A new government should be a coalition," Mr. Tretyakov said.
Prime Minister Gaidar told reporters Oct. 24 that he had the full backing of the President. Yeltsin, in a meeting with American financiers Oct. 26, said that changes in the Cabinet are possible, but in the meeting with the Foreign Ministry he made it clear that those changes would not include Gaidar or the foreign minister, both targets of conservative attack.

The Academic Jeopardy Process
Definition of Academic Status
At the conclusion of each semester (fall and spring), students who earn a cumulative GPA lower than a 2.0 will receive a letter from the Registrar's Office indicating one of the following three academic statuses according to University Policy:
- Academic Warning: Students earning a cumulative GPA lower than a 2.0 at the completion of their first or any subsequent semester. Part-time students will be evaluated every twelve (12) credits beginning with the completion of twenty-four (24) credits and will receive an Academic Warning whenever this evaluation shows their cumulative GPA to have fallen below 2.0. A student is allowed only one semester of Academic Warning. Please refer to the University Policy - Academic Warning/Probation Requirements for a complete description and specific requirements for students on Academic Warning.
- Academic Probation: Students earning a cumulative GPA lower than a 2.0 after receiving an Academic Warning in any semester will be placed on Academic Probation. A part-time student who has received an Academic Warning must bring his/her cumulative GPA up to 2.0 or higher within twelve (12) semester credits attempted, or will be placed on Academic Probation. Please refer to the University Policy - Academic Warning/Probation Requirements for a complete description and specific requirements for students on Academic Probation.
- Disqualified: A student is disqualified from the university if, at the end of a probationary semester, a 2.0 cumulative GPA has not been earned. A part-time student who is on academic probation must bring his or her cumulative GPA up to 2.0 or higher within 12 credits attempted or will be dismissed. Under policy of the university, disqualification is effective immediately before the beginning of the next regular semester. If a student under Academic Probation earns the GPA required for good standing, but then again falls below the 2.0 GPA, the student will automatically be disqualified.
Any student, regardless of status, is eligible to take summer or winter session courses at KU. Remember, when attempting to improve your GPA by repeating a course; you MUST repeat the same course at KU.
If you are disqualified and feel that you have made significant academic progress, or there were extenuating circumstances which caused you to earn a low cumulative GPA, you may want to petition the Undergraduate Exceptions Committee for an additional semester of Academic Probation.
- To petition for an additional semester of probation: Click on the Undergraduate Exceptions Committee Petition Form
All students who are receiving Financial Aid must satisfy academic progress requirements. Click here to review information on Academic Progress Requirements for Financial Aid. Contact the Financial Aid Office with questions.

The Swiss National Bank and the People's Bank of China agreed to establish a bilateral currency swap line, bolstering access to trade finance in the Swiss franc (CME:S6U14) and strengthening the international use of the yuan (CME:QTU14).
The agreement allows the two central banks to purchase and repurchase as much as 150 billion renminbi ($24 billion) over the next three years, the Zurich-based central bank said today. The PBoC has also granted the SNB an investment quota of 15 billion renminbi for the Chinese interbank bond market.
China is loosening exchange-rate controls in an overhaul of its $9 trillion economy. At the same time, Swiss banks are pushing for the country to become a center for yuan trading in Europe, as they are faced with the prospect of the loss of banking secrecy for offshore clients,
"The swap agreement is a key prerequisite for the development of a renminbi market in Switzerland," the Swiss central bank said, adding that the quota for the Chinese bond market will allow the SNB's foreign-currency reserves to "be diversified even further."
The SNB has amassed nearly 450 billion francs ($500 billion) worth of foreign-exchange reserves as a result of its campaign to keep the franc weaker than 1.20 per euro (CME:E6U14).
"It's a big step for both countries," SNB President Thomas Jordan told Swiss public broadcaster SRF in a radio interview broadcast today. "It's in our interest, in the interest of Switzerland, that we invest our currency reserves in China."
Diversified Holdings
As of the end of the first quarter, the SNB held 47% of its reserves in euros, 27% in dollars and 8% in yen, with the rest invested in currencies including the Korean won. The majority of its holdings were in highly rated government bonds, with 15% in equities.
The Swiss finance ministry in Bern said in a statement it "expressly" welcomed the step.
China started pushing for the wider use of the yuan outside the mainland in 2010. Germany's Bundesbank and the Bank of England signed deals with the PBOC earlier this year. China's yuan overtook the euro to become the second-most used currency in global trade finance after the dollar, the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication said in late 2013.
Geneva is a major trade-financing hub, and Switzerland's free-trade agreement with China came into effect earlier this month. Switzerland is the second European country after Iceland to have signed such a deal.
Today's agreement is a "positive step," Martin Maurer, secretary general of the Association of Foreign Banks in Switzerland, said by telephone. His organization has called for Swiss banks to increase their role in yuan financing. "It's extremely important in light of the FTA."
Thanks to the FTA, China agreed to cut tariffs on Swiss watches, machinery and chemical imports from companies including Swatch Group AG and robot-maker ABB Ltd.'s Swiss unit. China will overtake Germany as Switzerland's biggest export market by 2035, according to a survey by Credit Suisse Group AG.

Owndrives and Suprafiles are garbage. Openload is fine for what it is, but they convert to highly compressed mp4. I've always come here for quality and convenience, but convenience is out the window lately.
I want the 4 GB mkv's, but both of these hosts are always throttled on the server side at ~600 KB/s. You're talking hours to download a goddamn movie. My internet is 75 MB/s. A 4 GB movie takes less than 10 mins.
I've been going to Reddit to get the same high quality file locker links more and more lately. 2 hrs vs 10 mins. Icefilms is slower to post new releases, and the hosts are an absolute joke. I used to love this site. I hope you guys get your shit together.

|Miss USA -National Costume Competition at the 2013 Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow
I'm literally speechless, so here's what a few fashion and beauty experts had to say about the costume.
"The Miss Universe National Costume contest is a tradition as old as Miss Universe itself. It is meant to showcase the culture of a nation to the entire world. That is why when Miss USA Erin Brady stepped out of the stage like an Optimus Prime from the Transformers, she effectively pushed the envelope way too much."
"Sure, we can have outrageous costumes sometimes but never had we seen such an irrelevant costume that does not represent American core values and culture."
"If anything, it symbolizes the excesses of American consumerism and its addiction to video games and technology. It is a travesty to the American sensibilities and to the Miss Universe tradition at its peak."[Source for Quotes]
Check out some of my favorite costumes from the 2013 Miss Universe Pageant.

User:Joshdoe/Burke Centre Conservator article
This is a draft of an article to appear in the Burke Centre Conservator, a newsletter for Burke Centre, Fairfax County, Virginia, which is distributed to around 7000 homes and businesses. I release this as public domain or equivalent.
Now published: diary entry, burkecentre.org PDF of the newsletter
Draft submitted to editor
As some of you are aware, Burke Centre has a trail map that was created several years ago with the help of Robert Pew from RestonPaths.com and Oaks Trustee Luanne Smith. It is a good basic map that is available in print at the Conservancy office and online. However there are several shortcomings, chief among them is the lack of an interactive online map and a finer level of detail. Have you ever wanted to know the fastest way to walk to the library using the trails, or to be able to search for all tot lots with swings, or to see exactly where cluster boundaries are located? Imagine a website that has this kind of information and even allows you to add missing features. This is all possible thanks to a project called OpenStreetMap.
OpenStreetMap (OSM) was started in 2004 to allow the creation of a free and open map of the world. If you're familiar with Wikipedia, OSM follows the same model by allowing users to correct or enhance the map through the website OpenStreetMap.org. This is radically different from how other online maps work, but allows communities to map the features that are important to them.
So what can be mapped? There is no limit to what can be added to OSM, though I've been focusing on the trails that cover Burke Centre. Once a trail is in OSM, websites like Open.Mapquest.com can use the data to create walking directions that follow the sidewalks and trails. I've added additional information such as stairs and curb ramps, which can be used to determine what areas are wheelchair accessible. Adding such objects as bridges, tot lots, and even waste baskets are not only useful to residents, but can also serve as an inventory of Conservancy assets.
How can you participate? The simplest way is to use the map, and to tell others about it. The website Open.Mapquest.com allows you to report errors or missing features on the map, which will then be seen and corrected by other OSM contributors like myself. The next level of involvement would be to provide suggestions and feedback on what you think should be mapped. With the website WalkingPapers.org you can print out a section of the map, sketch in changes, and upload it to the website or mail it to me. Of course you can edit the map yourself, and if there is sufficient interest, we could arrange for a training session.
I've talked to a few of the Trustees, as well as the Open Space Committee, and they are very interested in the potential of this project. Hopefully we can have a presentation and discussion on this to see what level of involvement Burke Centre Conservancy itself wants to have, which could include sponsoring scout mapping projects. In the mean time I will continue mapping, with the goal of creating the best map of Burke Centre. Why don't you check out your neighborhood on Open.Mapquest.com and see how it looks?

There's something magical and thrilling about following a butterfly through the air. To get a closer look at the little winged wonders, it used to be necessary to catch them in a net, damaging their delicate wings and bodies along the way. To teach children how to explore and observe nature without causing any harm, designers Zhang Cheng, Tuo Jin, Lin-en Wang, and Xiaoneng Jin have created the E-catch Net that lets the insect pass through with ease. As the bug travels through the hoop, its body is scanned and the information collected may be downloaded to a computer for further study.
Once the butterfly has been scanned and its information entered into a computer, a program creates a print-out that contains an image and instructions on how to fold an origami figure. While the E-Catch net does not allow for close-up inspection in full dimension, it at least strikes a balance between play, learning, and kindness towards the environment. The invention has the advantage of keeping both bug and child safe and free to observe without having to house decomposing specimens. Using data to identify species or make a virtual collection is a wonderful way to train the next generation of biologists while also familiarizing children with technology and the ethos of leaving as little impact as possible.

Not a State secret
A Speed Post letter may never reach the person it's addressed to. This is desi fail mail.india Updated: Dec 28, 2010 23:17 IST
Now we never said that our postal services should function like greased lightning. We are quite used to letters taking an inordinately long time to reach their destination, if at all. And in case you thought that you had to suffer such delays because you are a minor cog in the wheel, be assured that our postal services are an equal opportunities discriminator.
Yes, even the highest in the land are not accorded any special privileges as the astounded home minister P Chidambaram found when a letter from him on a matter of grave import addressed to West Bengal chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee reached Kolkata five days after it had been posted. Why, you might ask, are official communications sent by post and not on the electronic mail. It is because, according to some antiquated law, official classified documents have to be sent by Speed Post, which as we have seen is anything but that. H ow we wish that communications of less import were to follow this route. Then those wishing to sell you land, villas, water purifiers and insurance would have to nip down to the post office and cough up a nifty amount to send their information by Speed Post. Which, if all goes well, we will never get. What bliss that would be.
Worry warts among you might fret that important communications could fall into the wrong hands if they were sent by Speed Post. Clearly, you have never visited a post office. If anyone has the patience and dedication to sift through the millions of letters supervised by the work-averse postal staff, then he or she deserves to get their hands on State secrets. But chances are that you will never get anything worth a Wikileak. Will this latest incident speed things up in our postal services? We'll keep you posted.
