About yilin
I am a student in the University of Liverpool. And I missed my dogs in China very much! I have keep dogs since I was a little girl, I like to be with them and they like me too. Now I have two dogs in my home, one named lancy, she became my family for about 8 years. She is clever and tractable. Last year, she was ills and I felt bad and take her to pet hospital. I worry about her every day and night. Thanks god, she is fine now. The other dog is called larry, he is a little boy that celebrated his first year on the 11th of Sep 2015. He is lively all the time and like playing with us. I would like to spend time with dogs, so I found this platform. I feel excited that I can meet many lovely dogs during my days in Liverpool. However, because I am a student I may be in classes sometimes. Hope I stay with dogs!+ More

Call it "beautiful decay": these stunning photographs, taken by David Stark Wilson, show the interiors of the future home of the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAM/PFA).
Just as with the new Magnes, which unveiled its new space on Sunday, BAM/PFA is to be housed in a 1920s-era building originally designed as a printing plant for UC Berkeley. It is located at 2120 Oxford Street at Center Street, in the heart of downtown.
Is it not fitting that, as the demand for printed thesis, documents, books and monographs has waned, the engine rooms that produced these volumes are now being put to good use while remaining in the cultural realm?

JUNEAU - Even as the state of Alaska prepares to break ground on a 1,500-bed, medium-security prison, a newly released national study says investments should be in rehabilitating prisoners instead of locking them up.
"We cannot build our way to public safety," says a report titled The Long Reach of American Corrections released Monday by The Pew Center on the States.
"With the costs of imprisonment rising and the benefits failing, our ability to keep communities safe depends more than ever upon our ability to better manage the 5 million offenders on probation and parole," says the report.
The study examined the number of people in the corrections system - those incarcerated, on probation or on parole - and the money spent on corrections from 1982-2007.
According to the report, 1 out of every 88 Alaskans is incarcerated in a state or federal prison, placing it 12th nationally.
The report says 1 out of every 61 adults in Alaska are either on probation or parole, placing it 33rd nationally.
A separate study presented in January to the Alaska Legislature by the University of Alaska's Institute of Social and Economic Research - or ISER - says Alaska's inmate population could go from roughly 5,300 to 10,500 by the year 2030.
If the state spent an additional $4 million annually on existing rehabilitation and prevention programs, that population could be closer to 9,500, according to the ISER study.
Making those investments, however, is a tough economic sell in a state facing a financial crunch with the dropping price of oil and the public demanding immediate results, said Stephanie Martin, ISER's assistant professor of economics and public policy.
"The state wouldn't start to see any return for probably at least five years, but after that it becomes tremendous," Martin said. "It's just hard for people to think like that. It's easy to do on a computer, but politically it's tougher to do."
According to the Pew study:
- Alaska spent $240 million or 4.7 percent of its general fund on corrections last year, 2.2 percentage points less than the national average even though comparative state-to-state spending is difficult to pin down because of variances in calculations.
- The cost for one day spent in prison is nearly $129 per inmate, or the same amount for one prisoner's total costs for either 90 days of parole or 22 days of probation. The national average for prison is $79 per day, or 10 days of parole or 22 days of probation.
- For every dollar Alaska spent on prisons in 2008, it spent 6 cents on probation and parole. Only data from 34 states was available, but among those, 14 cents was spent on probation and parole for every dollar spent on prisons.
- Forty-one percent of those under correctional supervision - be it probation, parole or incarceration - was in prison or jail at the end of 2007.
Joseph Schmidt, the state's Department of Corrections commissioner, said he agrees with the study's assertions that corrections departments need to be proactive to ease the burden on the prisons. The department has a $246.3 million budget. Of that $13.1 million is spent on parole and probation programs.
Plans for the new prison in Palmer would enable Alaska to house 700 prisoners currently in Arizona facilities. The Alaska prison is scheduled to open in 2012.
"Confinement is the foundation of the system, but we are trying to move away from the philosophy that incarceration will solve the problem," Schmidt said.
One program launched two months ago at Spring Creek Correctional Center in Seward involves 264 inmates to be released within 6 to 18 months. The program closely follows a Federal Bureau of Prisons guide in helping inmates transition back to life outside prison.
Prisoners attend parenting and anger management classes, receive tutoring in life skills such as house hunting and job interviewing, and they work on getting vocational skills or a high school diploma.
"We are focusing on re-entering society, so they don't come back into the system," Schmidt said. "What we are hoping is that we don't grow our prison population to a point where we can't afford it."

Geezer makes time for tribe - and wisdom
Published 7:53 pm, Friday, July 26, 2013
The Old Geezer is huddling in a blanket under a lifeguard stand on Seaside Park's West Beach when we spot him one day last week. As we walk across the sand toward him, we pick up what at first sounds like an approaching thunder storm, but soon quickly becomes apparent is only The Geezer's rolling stream of curses that would be censored out of an HBO series.
Sadly, this being a family newspaper and all, we cannot quote any of this envelope-pushing invective, amazing as it is for its creativity and sheer power. As we pour the sand out of our wingtips, we ask The Geezer what, short of having one's foot in a bear trap, might be cause for such language.
"Sonny," he says, poking his head out from his wool shroud, "did ya ever ... see anything like this ...weather? (Note: three dots represent the more impressive strings of additional curses.) One day, we're getting' grilled like a rump roast over a ... July Fourth bonfire and the next we're colder than a package of ... Green Giant lima beans. When we're not boilin' or freezin', we're so wet moss grows on the back of my neck. Now comes the Vibes folks. Nice people, but besides fencing me out of two-thirds of my home, they seem to think I'm some kind of free Smithsonian exhibit.
"They take my picture with their ... iPhones and just ... stare like zombies for hours like maybe I'm just a cardboard cutout or some ... thing. It gets better by Sunday; by then most of them are just staring into empty space."
The hot cup of Ovaltine we had wisely brought along in a thermos has the desired calming effect on The Geezer, also dampening the verbal firestorm. He even agrees to answer a few questions from readers.
Fair Gamer: Fred Limpson of Oxford wants to know if you are as thrilled about the just-arrived Royal Baby, Prince George, as he is.
Old Geezer: Oh yeah, Fred, I hardly slept all week wonderin' whether it'd be a little Prince-y or Princess-y. When I heard the news, I did a little dance and sang a chorus of "God Save The Queen" right here on the beach. I still think the USA needs to have a monarchy of its own. I mean besides Donald Trump. Think of the tourist bucks we could rake in from the ceremonial changing of the guard at the National Security Agency.
Fair Gamer: Benton Denton of Shelton asks if you can unravel the mystery of that $400,000 the city paid a contractor to build a driveway to his own house after that same contractor had already agreed to build it himself for $200,000.
Old Geezer: two words, sonny: It's Bridgeport.
Fair Gamer: That's actually three words, but never mind. Fred at Woods End Deli wonders how he can fill the void left by the sudden departure of Paula Dean from the culinary scene.
Old Geezer: Well, sonny, if I were him, and despite the physical resemblance, I'm not, he might put a pitcher of melted butter on every table to give those great homemade soups a calorie kick. Hey, how about some shoo-fly blintzes?
Fair Gamer: Branch Hickey of Lordship wants to know if you ever took performance-enhancing chemicals and, if so, why.
Old Geezer: Look, sonny, the day my performance needs to be enhanced will be the day I turn in my hand-carved ivory choppers. Of course I'll admit nobody ever offered me $200 million to do what I do best but if they ever do I'll likely give it some thought.
With that, The Geezer flung off the blanket and waded into the Long Island Sound for his daily swim to Port Jefferson. We shouted for him to watch out for the ferry wake, but he was already past the first buoy.

I know the Game Thread is about to be posted, but take a second to read this. According to John Fay, after having all night to think about it, Dusty Baker exercised poor judgment in responding to Derek Lowe's ramblings after last night's game. Really, really, unprofessional stuff by Baker.
It really got ugly when a reporter asked Baker if it bothered him when a player says he doesn't respect you?
"Man, I don't care," Baker said. A lot of people don't respect me. He don't respect himself. The word was whatever he did and said probably there was a good chance he was drinking at the ballpark and he don't remember what he said or what he did. OK.
"When he said I shook my finger at him to say I didn't have nothing to do with it. It wasn't to say I didn't have anything to do with it. It was to say: Don't mess with me or my team. That's what that means. He better learn sign language. OK."

A Quick Check-In
Just a little well-known StL trail-nugget. Is there anyone who doesn't know where this is?
If not, then please educate yourself.
In teh meantime, we have a few news items to mentiorn.Our power grows, as an increasing number of our troops have carnal knowledge of how to cleanly ascend the Greensfelder babyheads. Please speak with T0rrez and Mash0r regarding these items.
Next up, there are soon to be exciting developments in the works on the "Team Seagal Textiles" front. But I can't divulge anything beyond that - you'll have to keep paying attention to this blog, in the same way that Criss Angel stays glued to his textbooks as he studies to become a Pediatric Proctologist.
In even moar exciting news, One of our newer members to the team (but a familiar face to the local mtb/cx scene) Dr. Roland Sallinger (seen here) has officially become the first Soldier to get accepted into the Infamous Leadville Trail 100 - yes, the one that goes so high into the mountains, that he may actually catch a glimpse of Energor. No doubt, he will soon be ramping up his saddle time to previously unheard-of levels. He has asked us if we could take chamois cream donations for his training effort, as he will most certainly need it. Used or still in the package, it's all going to a good cause - the Save Scooter's T'aint Foundation.
No doubt this winter has been a good one for most of us, most notably yours truly, as I have secretly procured a fancy new trail weapon:
Next up on the radar, the Death By Hills ride. It should be one of the "5 Monuments of St. Louis Cycling", much in the same way that There are the 5 monuments of cycling over in Europe. The only difference is that this one includes chest hair and probably some death metal. Well, at least there will be both of those in my car on the way over. Life without death metal would be like being the President of The National Yogurt Association - weak as fuck. Which is the opposite of Pro As Fuck, or "PAF." (Or in DaveyB's case, STLPAF.)
These are the only new year's resolutions you need to worry about: Listen to death metal, ride Death By Hills, and donate to the SSTF.
End Transmission
-Casey F. Ryback
P.S. Oh yeah, and also ride Cedar Cross. It's gonna be more fun than beating Criss Angel to death with a 3 foot long dildo, while he's levitating.

Well Dr Roland, take it from a man of experience you want to start your Leadville taint training with a 100 grit lined chamois and work your way up to 20 grit ASAP. Once you attain this superior state of taint substitute the chamois butter with tiger balm. If you carefully adhere to this training regime you will be feeling fresh enough for a post Leadville celebration with Criss Angel.

Tech Guest Viewpoint: Avoiding Time-Series Demand Forecasting
Silicon Valley's Winchester House confounds visitors from around the world. An eccentric heiress spent decades adding endless rooms and hallways, doors that lead to nowhere, and random structural additions — turning a home into an inscrutable, imposing and meandering oddity.It's a prime example of add-ons gone wild — and a good analogy for the state of retail forecasting today. Many of today's retail forecasting systems have been added to and tweaked over decades until they have become imposing and complex, leading to a burdensome, difficult to maintain and a vastly different expression of their original intent — to provide retailers with accurate forecasts that lead to greater insight on the drivers of consumer demand, improved sell-through, successful promotions, and greater profitability.The time-series forecasting methods still used by most retailers today…

Indian State^ Social Classes and Secularism
The demolition of the Babri Masjid at Ayodhya on December 6, 1990 has again revealed the serious weaknesses and vulnerabilities of the Indian state to protect and promote its own values and commitments to democracy and secularism. A deeper analysis is required to understand and explain the emergence of militant and violent communalism of the Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs during the 1980s in India. A secular state in a multi-religious society is confronted by militant religious assertions and identities by all the major religious communities in the country. A secular state becomes very vulnerable if the major religious communities assert their separate religious identities and social order faces militant religious confrontations. The events of the 1980s have clearly established that India has a weak secular state and the state is involved in a basic struggle to defend secularism in the face of emerging militant religious assertions in society. Further, the developments of the 1980s clearly establish a need for an examination of the relationships between the Indian state and complex and contradictory social forces and processes which have generated social conflicts on the basis of competing identities. Indian society and the state are a product of a long historical process and it is imperative to focus attention on the historical forces which are at work in India. Marx had observed about the mid-nineteenth century that:
We, like all the rest of Continental Europe, suffer not only from the development of capitalist production, but also from the incompleteness of that development. Alongside of modern evils, a whole series of inherited evils oppress us, arising from the passive survival of antiquated modes of production, with their inevitable train of social and political anachronism. We suffer not only from the living, but from the dead.1
Every significant social explanation about Indian society and state emerges from the above mentioned observation of Karl Marx. First, India has a long history and the settled-society witnessed many state

Superstitions are common in various cultures, often linked to magic and astrology. When taken to an extreme, they are an alternative to science or religion, attempting to provide an 'explanation' to establish chains of cause and effect and predict future events. Simple superstition is very common feature of normal childhood thinking, when we believe that we can make things happen by making a wish, or prevent bad things from happening by a simple action. However, when superstitions persists in adults it is generally driven by fear and insecurity; it reduces the feeling of uncertainity in the world and makes us feel more in control of our destiny.
Superstitious rituals in OCD are similar to 'normal' superstitions but tend to be more complex and lengthier; like other compulsions, they become disabling, and can be finished only when the persons feels comfortable. A person with OCD will want to repeat the ritual if it is not done in a precise way or at the 'right' time, or if they are not feeling completely comfortable or right. Superstitious rituals are believed to have the function of eliminating or neutralizing bad events that have come to mind. Examples include counting up to a magic number or multiples there of, repeating specific words or images, stepping in special ways when walking, washing off bad ideas or memories, and touching certain things in a special way or a particular number of times. Superstitions can also leads to avoidance of certain numbers, colours, ideas or words (e.g. the devil) which are associated with bad events.

Late news from around the clubs
Page Tools
Bulldogs five-eighth Braith Anasta is not expected to play against Sydney Roosters at Telstra Stadium tonight due to a rib injury. It's anticipated Corey Hughes will be promoted from a five-man bench to halfback with Brent Sherwin switching to five-eighth.
Sydney Roosters beat the Dogs 35-0 in their last contest and coach Ricky Stuart said: "We know they will looking to restore some lost pride. We've spoken about it."
Halfback Matt Orford (hand) and winger Matt Geyer (knee) are expected to play for Melbourne against Wests Tigers at Olympic Park tomorrow night - but centre Steve Bell (foot) remains in serious doubt.
Bronson Harrison is the man to drop off the Wests Tigers bench if everyone else is fit.
Newly re-signed Newcastle prop Adam Woolnough is confident of overcoming a shoulder injury to play against Parramatta at EnergyAustralia Stadium tomorrow night.
Parramatta coach Brian Smith noticed an increase in the focus of his players since their meeting on Monday.
St George Illawarra hooker Mark Riddell may be tempted to repeat his applause of himself after scoring a try a couple of years ago when the Dragons face the Cowboys tomorrow night at the scene of the most famous post-try celebration - WIN Stadium.
North Queensland have added young prop Matthew Scott to their travelling party but have no injury concerns.
The addition of Karl Temata to the bench for Sunday's game against Canberra was the first act of new Warriors coach Tony Kemp yesterday. "There is an injury there but I don't want to say who it is," he said.
Canberra will know this morning if interchange forward Luke Davico (ribs) will be able to make the journey to Ericsson Stadium. Josh Miller is on stand-by.
Manly have lost Chad Randall from their six-man bench for Sunday's Brookvale Oval game against Penrith, after he injured his knee in a training mishap on Wednesday. Coach Des Hasler said second-rower Sam Harris (back) and reserve Shayne Dunley (chest) remained in doubt.
Penrith are hoping to continue an unbeaten run against Manly which stretches back to 1999.
Brisbane five-eighth Darren Lockyer will have tests on his ribs today to determine if he is to play against Cronulla at Suncorp Stadium on Sunday.
Prop Shane Webcke (ribs) and hooker Shaun Berrigan (hamstring) have already been cleared. Lockyer would replace the nominated pivot, Ben Ikin.
Cronulla coach Stuart Raper will decide on a travelling emergency after watching the Sharks' premier league side play Western Suburbs tonight.

J/A+A/401/997 Wilson-Bappu relation in late-type stars (Pace+, 2003)

ADC_Keywords: Stars, late-type ; Equivalent widths ; Rotational velocities Keywords: stars: distances - stars: late-type - line: profiles Abstract: Wilson & Bappu (1957ApJ...125..661W) have shown the existence of a remarkable correlation between the width of the emission in the core of the K line of CaII and the absolute visual magnitude of late-type stars. Here we present a new calibration of the Wilson-Bappu effect based on a sample of 119 nearby stars.

and objectives
The main objective of the project was the analysis of the food quality
of transgenic crops and their derivatives. The two different aspects to
be analysed in detail were agronomic and processing quality and food safety.
Transgenic tomato was chosen as a model crop.
We were primarily interested in analysing the insect resistance trait
encoded by the Cry1Ab gene. However, as most, if not all, transgenic plants
will, in addition to the trait of interest, also contain and express selectable
marker genes which are necessary for the identification of transgenic
cells in vitro, we have also included in the study one of the most
frequently used examples of such genes, namely, neo (NPTII).
Approach and methodology
Production and analyses of transgenic tomatoes
Based on greenhouse evaluations, two transgenic lines were chosen for
the agronomic evaluation of the crop in the field. A field trial was done
during the 1993 season in Piana di Monte Verna (Caserta, Italy). The harvested
fruit was used for two purposes. Part was used for the preparation of
different types of processed products: peeled tomatoes, chopped tomatoes
and tomato concentrate. The remaining part of the harvest was concentrated
by freeze-drying and used in a feeding trial. The composition of the freshly
harvested tomatoes, including parameters important for processing such
as percentage dry matter, pH and sugar content, was determined. Expression
levels of Cry1Ab and neo were measured. Relevant chemical and physicochemical
data, as well as Cry1Ab and NPTII content, were also determined on the
processed products.
Safety assessment
The safety assessment focused on the analysis of proteins purified from
recombinant over-expressing micro-organisms. As Cry1Ab has known toxic
effects in insects, emphasis was placed on studying this protein. Less
exhaustive treatment of the marker protein was performed. A series of
in vitro characteristics of the proteins were measured and the
potential in vivo effects were estimated. This strategy was designed
to answer the following questions:
Do the newly introduced proteins cause general toxic effects in mammals?
To answer this question both in vitro and in vivo approaches
were designed. Degradation of the proteins was followed in the presence
of digestive enzymes (pepsin, trypsin and chymotrypsin) in simulated conditions
of the gastrointestinal tract. Digestibility of Cry1Ab has also been studied
in vivo through feeding of unique high doses of Cry1Ab protein.
General toxic effects were, in addition, analysed by short-term oral feeding
in rats and rabbits. Effects on blood cells and human cell lines were
also studied.
Does the introduced Cry1Ab protein show specific toxic effects in mammals
similar to the effect observed in insects?
This analysis was based on the observation that the first step in the
interaction between Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal crystal
proteins and the target insects consists in the interaction of the protein
with specific receptors. Different tissues of the gastrointestinal tract
of rodents and primates, including humans, were screened for the presence
of receptors to these toxins.
Does the genetic modification of the tomato result in changes in nutrient
content and the presence of naturally occurring toxins?
Lyophilised powders of tomatoes harvested were submitted to a detailed
analysis. Beside the content of the newly introduced protein, total protein
content, fat, carbohydrate, fibre, vitamin C and mineral content were
compared. The lyophilised tomato powders were also mixed with rat feed
at a concentration of 10 % and were used in a 90-day feeding trial.
Main findings and outcome
No differences have been found between the characteristics of both transformants
and their non-transgenic counterparts in fresh or processed products.
Both Cry1Ab and NPTII proteins are unstable in simulated gastrointestinal
conditions. They degrade into fragments with molecular weights below 10
kDaltons. The toxic effect of Cry1Ab on insects is highly specific and
no specific receptors were found along the gastrointestinal tract of mammals.
In addition, no histopathological effects were found upon ingestion of
Cry1Ab by mammals. Orally administrated Cry1Ab does not exert adverse
systemic effects in rats or mice. No indications of immunotoxic effects
were found upon histological examination of lymph nodes, spleen and Peyer's
patches of treated animals. In addition, no specific antibodies against
Cry1Ab could be detected, nor was there a general increase in total IgG.
No haemolytic potency of Cry1Ab was observed in in vitro experiments.
No major changes were observed in the chemical composition of transgenic
tomatoes as a result of the insertion of the novel genes. Transgenic tomato
powders mixed into the rat diet had no adverse effect on the development
of the animals. The average daily intake of tomato powders corresponded
to a daily human consumption of 13 kg fresh tomatoes. Food intake, body
and organ weights were normal and examination of the tissues showed no
indications of toxic effects.
It is strongly suggested that neither NPTII nor Cry1Ab presents major
risks to the consumer in food, even at elevated concentrations.

Bobbins–The Nor-Bobbin
This bobbin was designed by Norm Norlander as a complement to his Nor-Vise, a true rotary tool. It allows the rotary tier much greater control of the thread than any standard bobbin because it will retract the thread that has been pulled out. The bobbin kit comes with 3 extra spools and a winding hub that allows the user to readily wind thread onto the precisely made aluminum spools. Winding can be done with an electric drill or with the vise. Both are fast and easy.
In rotary tying it's essential to pull the thread out and hank it over a post out in front of the vise so that it doesn't wind back up while using the rotary vise feature to apply chenille, yarn, hackles, etc. If the bobbin doesn't retract the thread, then the tyer is faced with mechanically re-winding the thread after every operation. That's a real pain in the you-know-where. With Norm's Nor-Bobbin, the thread is easily pulled out and easily retracted, making rotary tying not only fun, but efficient, as well.
Notice in the photo below that the thread is wrapped a couple of turns around one of the legs of the bobbin. That's to provide just enough friction to prevent the bobbin from rewinding by itself, when you hang it down while tying. Extra thread tension is achieved by touching the spool with your finger(s).
Cutting the thread can be a problem unless you know how to use the bobbin. Pull it out about 14 inches and the clutch engages, allowing you to pull out extra thread that won't be rewound. Then when the thread is cut, it will still extend beyond the end of the ceramic tube. One can also hang the bobbin on the thread post before cutting.
While designed specifically to work with Norm's great rotary vise, the Nor-Bobbin can be used independently, giving the tyer the ability to retract thread swiftly and easily.
When you buy a Nor-Vise kit you not only get the necessary thread post with the vise, but you get the Nor-Bobbin kit and a very nicely done DVD explaining how to use all the parts of the Nor-Vise Rotary Tying System.

"Peak" of Atlantic Hurricane Season approaching
Southeastern NC will likely experience beautiful weather for most of the Labor Day weekend, but other areas are not so lucky. A potential tropical system in the Gulf of Mexico may bring heavy rain from the Texas coast to Alabama coast. Once the system moves over land, it will likely weaken and merge with a cold front. The combined system may bring heavy rain to North Carolina next week.
Elsewhere, "Katia" will likely stay over open water without making a US landfall. Still a few "indirect" effects (heavy surf and rip currents) will be possible along the East Coast by the end of the weekend.
Remember, September 10 marks the peak of Atlantic Hurricane Season. You can always see the latest tropical updates at Hurricanes 101

In the not too distant future, home computers may perform faster and stereo systems may sound better because of a research and development effort starting at the University of Houston this year. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has awarded the campus $5.5 million to fund a Center for the Commercial Development of Space. This center will develop applications for the vacuum in low earth orbit, a process ex pected to lead to the production of high quality microelectronics and computer components in space. The UH center is officially designated as the Center for the Commercial Development of Space Vacuum Epitaxy Technology. Physics professors Paul C. W. Chu and Alex Ignatiev will serve as Director and Associate Director, respectively. Sponsored through NASA's Office of Commercial Programs, the center receives five years of NASA seed funding. By the end of that period, NASA expects the center to be in a position to operate without NASA funding under support provided from a combination of public and private sources. In addition to NASA's commitment, Univeristy Park will provide $1 million of support through space, equipment, and cost sharing, and a current consortium of seven industry and government organizations has committed $900,000 for the first year. However, during its first five years, the center may attract in excess of $16 million in support from a consortium expected to have more than 15 supporting organizations from industry, government, and higher education. The vacuum epitaxy technique, incorporation molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and chemical beam epitaxy (CBE), is a high-technology process that grows thin films of extremely pure material almost atom by atom. In fact, it has been described as the most powerful technique for materials synthesis, according to Chu. However to achieve high purity, the process relies on an ultrahigh vacuum environment, something that is difficult to achieve in large volumes on earth. That is the unique aspect of this center; the proposed use of the vacuum in space for development and production of the next generation of microelectronics and computer chips. "Previous efforts have focused on the advantages of the zero-gravity environment of space. Ours is the first proposal to take advantage of the space vacuum," Chu says. The naturally-occurring vacuum in low earth orbit is not as good as the best vacuum achievable on earth, Chu says. However, with a little manipulation, low earth orbit space becomes an ultra-high vacuum much better than vacuums attainable on earth. The manipulation is done by a structure called a wake shield. As the shield passes through space, it literally clears the way of atoms and molecules, creating an ultra-high vacuum directly behind the shield, Ignatiev ex- 155

'Brutal Imagination' Examines Fear
Published 7:00 pm, Monday, January 7, 2002
AP Drama Critic
Fear can do quite a lot, especially when it conjures up evil out of the color of a person's skin.
That fear _ and the effect it has on the one accused _ gets a harrowing examination in "Brutal Imagination," poet Cornelius Eady's powerful look at race in the context of the notorious Susan Smith case.
A little background first. In 1994, Smith, a young white woman, told South Carolina authorities a black man hijacked her car and drove off with her two little boys. The car _ and the bodies of her sons _ were found in a nearby lake. Nine days later, she confessed to the crime, but not before this imaginary black man had almost become real.
In Eady's two-character play, which opened Tuesday at off-Broadway's Vineyard Theater, the man, here christened Mister Zero, fills the stage. "When called, I come. My job is to get things done," says this creation of Smith's fantasies. "I am not the hero of this piece. I am only a stray thought, a solution."
Yet the man takes on a life of his own, particularly in Joe Morton's sardonic, often funny and thoroughly mesmerizing performance. Zero, dressed in a knit cap, plaid shirt and dark pants, meditates on what he stands for in white society. At one point, Zero calls forth mythic black figures from Smith' subconscious _ Uncle Tom, Aunt Jemima, Buckwheat, among others _ to give historical significance to her stereotyping.
Sally Murphy's unnerving performance skillfully negotiates a fine line between cold-blooded calculation and delusional innocence. With a soft Southern accent, Murphy makes you feel the weight of the woman's desperation.
"Brutal Imagination," based on a book of Eady's poetry, has been roughly divided into nine sections, corresponding to the nine days of Smith's deception _ from the day of the drownings to her confession. Eady's language is terse, yet lyrical without sounding artificial. His last work for the stage, the musical "Running Man," was a Pulitzer Prize finalist.
The play, which lasts a brief 75 minutes, has been given a vibrant production by director Diane Paulus and gets a huge assist from a jazz-flecked score by Diedre Murray. The music, played by a four-person combo sitting offstage, serves as a soundtrack to the piece, often underlining the action but never overwhelming it.
The setting, designed by Mark Wendland, is as chaotic as Smith's mind. A table piled high with objects _ two chairs, a car door, a baby's car seat, a teddy bear _ becomes the vehicle in which Smith and her creation set off on their tragic adventure. Overhead, bare light bulbs extend out into the audience, spotlights that will eventually shine the truth on Smith's lies.
"Brutal Imagination" defies easy classification. Stage tone poem. Music-theater piece. Extended dialogue. Whatever the term, Eady's latest venture makes for a vivid theatrical experience.

What is Coltan? 5 Facts You Should Know
Here are five key facts about coltan you need to know.
You might not have heard of coltan, but it's likely that it is present in products you use every day. From smartphones to laptops to medical equipment, coltan is key for a range of electronic devices.
However, the mineral is often the subject of controversy given that it comes from the conflict-ridden Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). So what is coltan? Here are five key facts about coltan that you need to know.
1. It's where tantalum and niobium come from
Coltan, or columbite-tantalite, is an ore from which niobium and tantalum are extracted. As a 2014 report from the US Geological Survey notes, the minerals are often found together, but have very different properties and applications; nearly 80 percent of the world's niobium is used in high-strength, low-alloy steels, while tantalum is key for the world's electronics industry.
The US Geological Survey lists Brazil, Canada and Australia as the leading producers of tantalum and niobium mineral concentrates. However, in terms of mined tantalum production, Rwanda comes in first place (even though it's an open secret that much of Rwanda's mineral production comes from other countries), followed by the DRC. In these countries, coltan is often mined through artisanal operations.
2. Coltan provides the tantalum used in smartphones
About two-thirds of tantalum is used to construct electronic capacitors, a fundamental component of cell phones and other electronics. Tantalum has contributed hugely to the miniaturization of handheld electronic devices as it allows electricity to be stored in small capacitors. In other words, coltan is a key component of modern life.
Tantalum is also extremely ductile and can be drawn into a thin wire. Because it causes no immune response in humans, it is also used to make surgical appliances, as a replacement for bone, as a connector of torn nerves and as a binding agent for muscles.
3. It's mined by hand
Coltan may be an important mineral when it comes to modern electronics, but as mentioned above, the methods used to mine it are not modern at all. As a report from the Daily Mail explains, coltan is often mined by hand in the DRC, with rock and sand being panned and filtered until the mineral sinks to the bottom.
Even at the Luwow mine, now deemed a "conflict-free" mine, conditions are harsh. The Daily Mail states that 12-hour days are often required, and that "mine safety procedures are non-existent."
4. It's a conflict mineral
Many investors are no doubt aware of tantalum's conflict mineral status, so it should come as no surprise that coltan falls under the same banner. According to ABC News, there are reports that neighboring countries, including Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi, smuggle coltan from the DRC to fund conflicts in the region, although all countries deny that is the case.
"By one estimate, the Rwandan army made at least $250 million over a period of 18 months through the sale of coltan, even though no coltan is mined in Rwanda," states ABC.
So where does all of this coltan end up? Its path is hard to trace, but regulatory authorities are doing their best to ensure that electronics companies are not funding conflict in the DRC by buying coltan. For example, the US Securities and Exchange Commission's conflict minerals rule, part of the Dodd-Frank Act, requires publicly traded manufacturers to disclose to investors whether any of the tantalum, tin, gold and tungsten used in their products may have originated in the DRC. Taking it a step further, European Parliament voted in May 2015 to move to ban all products containing conflict minerals.
That said, companies in the US have so far been slow to change how they handle imports of coltan and other conflict minerals. What's more, the Dodd-Frank Act is currently slated for an overhaul under US President Donald Trump.
5. It's harmful for gorillas
Coltan mining has also caused significant destruction of gorilla habitats in the DRC. As Cellular News notes, "the U.N. Environment Program has reported that the number of eastern lowland gorillas in eight Dem. Rep. of Congo national parks has declined by 90% over the past 5 years, and only 3,000 now remain." Gorilla habitats have been reduced as forests are cleared to make way for mining operations.
In addition, the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada states that there have been reports of armed rebel groups and miners "eating meat from chimpanzees, gorillas, and elephants in the Kahuzi Biega National Park and on the Okapi Wildlife Reserve."

Awesome!! One problem.... there would be a winner in the first few minutes of a debate. LOL
Yeah, every spot would be marked within 20 minutes.
This game should be marketed with, "For 2-99 players with IQ's of 75 or lower."
Talk about a game where nobody wins...
Wow! That is pure jokes. You could build a stand up comedy routine around that crap. lol.
I might find a pic of a bingo piece and put it on the center square since it's essentially a free space.

text: The Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC), the international body that sets the rules for tuna fishing in the region, finished a five-day meeting in Manila late Thursday night (NZ time). The annual meeting involved more than 30 countries from the Oceania region, Asia, Americas and Europe.Pacific scientists this year advised that a total ban on fish aggregating devices (FADs) combined with greater regulation of longline fishing in spawning areas would be the most effective way to save overfished Pacific bigeye tuna(1). Greenpeace was also calling for marine reserves to be established in four high seas pockets known as the Pacific Commons. These conservation measures, among others, were rejected by the WCPFC.Lagi Toribau, head of the Greenpeace delegation to the WCPFC says the meeting was a disaster."The big corporate players won and will continue their plunder for short-term profits at the expense of our oceans' health," he says."The governments here should be held accountable for failing to protect vulnerable species that form the backbone of many economies in the Pacific, and provide food and livelihoods to coastal communities across the region."Politics once again have failed our oceans. The onus now is on consumer markets to demand sustainable products on the shelves. By rejecting tuna caught by purse seiners using FADs and switching to more sustainable methods, consumer action can rescue our oceans."Earlier this week John West, Australia's largest tuna brand, pledged to phase out FAD-caught tuna (2). Two other brands sold in New Zealand have made the same commitment with Foodstuffs changing about 85 per cent of its Pams range to more sustainably caught tuna. Greenpeace is urging New Zealand's largest tuna brand, Sealord to do the same or better.Shark conservation was also on the WCPFC agenda. The meeting agreed to end the practice of setting nets on whale sharks and using them as living FADs but rejected a Pacific Islands proposal to ban shark finning at sea. The Greenpeace ship Esperanza arrived in Manila, ahead of the WCPFC meeting, after a one-month expedition in the Pacific region which revealed illegal and unsustainable fishing activity (3).Greenpeace's campaign to halt the decline in Pacific tuna stocks was the subject of a one-hour documentary which premiered on New Zealand television earlier this week. Titled 'Karli Thomas and the Raiders of the Last Tuna' it can be viewed at http://tvnz.co.nz/karli-thomas-and-raiders-of-last-tuna/sspecial-ep1-video-5259289EndsNotes to Editor:1) http://www.pnas.org/content/109/44/18221.abstract2) http://johnwest.com.au/john-west-confirms-its-commitment-to-sustainable-tuna3) Findings from Greenpeace's expedition are available online at: http://www.greenpeace.org/seasia/ph/press/reports/Greenpeace-International-findings-at-sea-November-2012/

West Brom 2 Chelsea 1
Peter Odemwingie paid tribute to Shane Long's courage after the West Brom striker kept his personal anguish a secret from his team-mates.
Long rode an emotional rollercoaster at the Hawthorns after the death of his grandmother last week. He revealed a T-shirt which read 'Rest in Peace Nan' after he netted the opening goal.
But it was only afterwards that his team-mates learned what he had been through.
"We wondered why he was a bit quiet," said Odemwingie. "After the match we were celebrating with some music in the dressing room and he wasn't with us. I asked him, 'are you not happy?' and he still didn't tell me what had happened. I learned only when I began doing interviews.
"He deserves all the respect for playing because it was a big game for us and he was there working hard and playing very well. A lot of credit to him for that."
Albion boss Steve Clarke had offered Long the option of skipping the match on compassionate grounds. He chose to play, though dashed away immediately afterwards to return to Tipperary for the funeral.
But not before he had opened the scoring for Albion with a 10th-minute header — his fourth goal of the season — and crossed for Odemwingie to score the second-half winner after Eden Hazard's equaliser just before half time.
Long troubled the Chelsea defence all afternoon — particularly the centre-back pairing of Gary Cahill and David Luiz — and was a deserved recipient of the sponsors' man of the match award, even though Albion goalkeeper Boaz Myhill laid equally strong claims by keeping out Daniel Sturridge twice to deny the visitors a point.
The result heaped more worry on to the shoulders of Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo ahead of a big week for the club. He has seen Chelsea's four-point lead at the top of the table crumble over the last four games and they now trail new leaders Manchester City, who they meet at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, by four points.
Before that, Di Matteo's team face a critical Champions League trip to Turin to face Juventus, a game the trophy holders can ill afford to lose.
Chelsea have not kept a clean sheet for eight games, and after their defensive fragility was exposed once again, Di Matteo hinted he may temporarily abandon the attacking style — built around his midfield trio of Juan Mata, Hazard and Oscar — for a more defensive outlook.
That could lead to one of the three being left out of the starting line-up in Turin and there must also be a question mark over Fernando Torres's place after another ineffective performance.
Di Matteo admitted he is puzzled as to why Chelsea's form has dipped.
"It is very difficult to explain. It is not just one year, it has been three years in a row," said Di Matteo. "I don't think it is psychological and I don't think it is just an individual issue. As a team we have to be better defending. You don't defend with one player, you defend with the whole team. It is defensive organisation that we need to look at and maybe I have to do some changes."
WEST BROM: Myhill 8; Jones 6, Tamas 6, Ridgewell 6, Olsson 6; Morrison 7 (Dorrans 70, 5), Mulumbu 7, Yacob 6, Gera 6 (Brunt 70, 6), Odemwingie 7; Long 8 (Rosenberg 80).
CHELSEA: Cech 6; Azpilicueta 6, Luiz 5, Cahill 6, Bertrand 6; Romeu 5 (Oscar 62, 6), Mikel 6 (Ramires 80); Moses 6, Hazard 6, Sturridge 6; Torres 5 (Mata 62, 7).

A new trend in photography known as "rooftopping" is gaining attention.
Photographer Tom Ryaboi takes daring photographs from the tops of Toronto skyscrapers. Often shown standing on the edges with a camera in hand, the results look almost surreal. To get to the tops of the skyscrapers, "rooftoppers" have to go through great measures to slip past security guards and dogs. But I think the results are worth it.
Just looking at the photos gives me a bit of an adrenaline rush, what do you think of them?

Click to listen to Doug Paisley's 'Learn to Lose (feat. Feist)'
In "Learn to Lose," Doug Paisley shares a piece of hard-won knowledge: "Take my advice and study the blues / Don't wait too long to learn to lose." Against a lush, melancholy melody, the Canadian country singer-songwriter describes the complex and unpredictable relationship between memory, novelty and nostalgia, the things we lose and the things we carry with us. At first blush, some of the song's most memorable lyrical images – childhood novelty toys like "arrows through the head" and Mexican jumping beans – may seem trivial, but Paisley says that to him, they're essential.
"There are people who take serious things lightly and those who take light things seriously," Paisley explains. "Cecil Null said 'I've forgotten more than you'll ever know,' and I've always remembered the display case of jumping beans on the candy store counter."
The new song features backing vocals by Feist, who also appeared on Paisley's most recent album, Constant Companion. On April 17th, No Quarter will release Paisley's Golden Embers EP, a collection of tunes recorded during his December 2011 tour. A new full-length will follow in the fall.

The managing partner of Pinsent Curtis' London office, Graeme Brister, has been elected as a director of the Institute for Citizenship Studies, a body that promotes the constitutional rights of UK citizens.
Brister said the issue of individual rights was becoming increasingly important in UK law. "This is why we want to be involved," he said. "For both selfish and altruistic reasons."
Brister, who would welcome a UK Bill of Rights, said that as a senior member of Pinsents, his support for the institute's concerns about the ordinary citizen would set a good example to the firm's younger solicitors. He added that Pinsents was also extremely keen to be closely involved in what it saw as a "blossoming" area of the law.
"Our firm can contribute to the debate and influence the direction of the institute," he said.

This interesting little piece of news can be read either way. It might be read as saying that if Twitter can get monetising mobile traffic right then Facebook will be able to do the same thing. Or the other way around: it Twitter can currently monetise mobile while Facebook is still facing huge problems in doing so perhaps there's something entirely different about the two offerings meaning that one can and the other just won't be able to?
Twitter has generated more advertising revenue from its mobile platform than from its website on many days in the last quarter, CEO Dick Costolo said Wednesday, highlighting Twitter's progress in squeezing ad dollars out of the growing number of smartphone and tablet users worldwide.
"We're borne of mobile," Costolo said in response to a moderator's question about the difference between Facebook and Twitter. "We have an ad platform that already is inherently suited to mobile, even though we launched our platform on the Web and only started running ads on mobile recently."
As I say, you could read this either way about Facebook's prospects on mobile. Given that someone else is successfully monetising that traffic then Facebook should be able to, with a bit of tweaking, do the same. And of course this is important as Facebook is increasingly being accessed by mobile phone and it is indeed having problems in monetising that traffic. It's not too much of an exaggeration to say that how or whether Facebook manages to monetise that traffic is the most important determining factor of the company's future value.
However, we can read the same facts the other way around as well. If someone is able to do that monetisation and Facebook isn't might it be something fundamental wrong? Not the tactics being used, but the whole reason that people use one service or the other? If that's the case then Facebook is in for a fairly torrid time of it, isn't it?

Well it finally got here, you know

Nick Saban spoke at a Nike football camp in Louisville this week. A high school coach was there taking notes. One of the notes concerned a recruit using Twitter. From Coach Bird's blog:
Retracted a scholarship from a player who had 32,000 tweets between signing day and first day of camp. How much was he thinking about football? He was obviously in it for the wrong reasons.
I have tweeted 46,000 times in about 4 years. I sometimes wonder if I'm in it for the wrong reasons. [via @mengus22]
UPDATE: In the two minutes since this post went up, that entire post was pulled and now this is on the front page:
After reviewing notes again, Saban used tweeting kid as an example of someone who was not in football for the right reasons. I do not know if the scholarship was pulled or not. The notes from the Saban Louisville Clinic have been taken down until corrections can be made.
Oh well. This is what used to be a great story. Let's just pretend.
