REFERENCE MATERIALSThe first place to look when beginning research on a topic is in reference material: specialized dictionaries, encyclopedias or handbooks. These allow you to check names, dates and places, find additional information, look up unknown terms, and check for the proper spelling of words. They are particularly helpful for finding basic background information on a topic, and are often the only place many students may need to look to find answers to their questions. They may include bibliographies (lists of additional materials on a topic, usually considered by the author to be the best materials on that topic) that you can use to find other materials.

UnNews:Live M2 Flamethrower found on JetBlue Boston-Newark flight
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Live M2 Flamethrower found on JetBlue Boston-Newark flight
Where man always bites dog
Thursday, March 22, 2018, 18:23:59 (UTC)

12 July 2011
NEWARK, New Jersey -- In the cockpit of a JetBlue plane JetBlue crew members found a lit and fully operational M2 Flamethrower strapped onto the back of the pilot's seat on the flight from Boston.
Federal US officials are attempting to determine how a Flamethrower was brought on-board a JetBlue flight that landed at Newark airport in New Jersey, although there is a strong suspicion that it was smuggled into the plane by the pilot for self-defense in case of a skyjacking.
The FBI said on Monday that there was no indication the flame throwing war-weapon, found on Friday, was intended for an attack. The pilot, who refused to answer questions about the incendiary device when grilled by the media, had no comment other than a hazy-eyed murmur, which sounded like, "The horror! The horror!"
Members of the airline's crew were cleaning the JetBlue aircraft at 2220 local time (0220 GMT) on Friday evening when the Flamethrower was discovered. The weapon was handed over to the Transportation Security Administration.
FBI spokesman Bryan Travers said on Monday it was fairly clear that the captain was the person most likely to have brought the M2 on Flight 1179.
"Pilots get caught bringing stuff onto the plane all the time," he said. "But we're just not sure how the captain planned to use the weapon in case of a mid air incident. Surely a Flamethrower could never be deployed inside a flying airplane!" Travers warned. "Even when confronted with box cutters!"
Authorities said they gave the weapon to the Port Authority of New York, before it was handed over to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the body responsible for groping and sexual harassment while engaged in security screening of passengers.
Port Authority spokesman Steve Coleman told the Newark Star-Ledger newspaper there was no indication the Flamethrower had been fired before it was brought on the flight, which had carried 96 potential terrorist passengers from Boston to Newark.

I spent a good while window shopping for a suitable watch. I am more happy with my decision. The honeyed gold wrist band is extremely attractive and not heavy. The champagne dial is clear and easy to read at a glance. I personally do not like a crowded face so this one is pleasing to the eye. The jewelled surround is understated elegance. Overall, this is a very feminine, delightful watch offered at a very affordable price.

A rise in HBOS shares and an endorsement from one of the City's biggest fund managers yesterday provided some relief for the underwriters of its £4bn fundraising.
The underwriters, led by investment banks Dresdner Kleinwort and Morgan Stanley, could be left holding millions of HBOS shares because its share price has been stuck below the 275p subscription price. Investors have until this morning to take up their rights to the shares. Many are expected to turn their back on the issue as they can buy the shares more cheaply on the stockmarket.
But yesterday's 5% rise to 268.25p may at least give the underwriters some comfort that their losses might not be as large as first feared and convince some major institutional investors to participate after all. The underwriters might also be able to find new owners for the stock after Schroders indicated it was considering buying shares in the lender.
Schroders sold out of HBOS in March 2006 after James Crosby resigned as chief executive when the shares were trading around £10 a share. Richard Buxton, head of UK equities, is now considering taking a fresh holding because he believes the shares look cheap. The result of the rights issue will not be known until Monday while Barclays is expected to reveal today how many shareholders participated in its £4bn placing. It will raise a further £500m from an investment by Japanese bank Sumitomo Mitsui.

Hastings native Derek Stepan earns spot on Olympics team
Moments don't get much more dramatic than the few that unfolded late Wednesday afternoon.
They just had to wait for the game to get over to find out for sure.
Of course, the game went into overtime.
And of course, the game went into a shootout.
"That was the longest overtime and shootout I've ever watched in all my days," said Derek's father, Brad.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, little boys and girls wearing Team USA jerseys took the ice. On the backs of their jerseys were the names and numbers of each player that had made the team.
Slowly the boys and girls turned around then, clear as can be, was the name Stepan. He made it.
"We didn't know until they turned around," said Derek's mom, Trish Coakley. "We saw it just like everybody else."
"To see that kid turn around and have his name on the back of that sweater was an unbelievable feeling," said Brad Stepan. "What an honor for him. All the sacrifices and all the things he's had to do to get there – it's pretty remarkable."
Coakley was watching the game with her husband, Chris, and her daughter Josie Stepan. When they saw the Stepan last name, they could barely contain themselves.
"I don't know how to put it into words," Coakley said. "We called Derek right away. Then of course our phones started to go crazy. It was fun to talk to all the family members who were calling. Then there was this adrenaline rush. Is this really happening?
"It still doesn't seem real yet. I guess I've said that with a lot of the stuff that has happened with him. It's just unreal."
The Coakleys will be traveling to Sochi, Russia, for the games. They fly out in early February and hope they don't return until after the gold medal match on Feb. 23.
The United States opens the tournament with a game on Feb. 13 against Slovakia. Games are also set against Russia on Feb. 15 and Slovenia on Feb. 16.
"This morning, I was making some travel arrangements, and it was hitting me that Derek is going to the Olympics," Coakley said. "I can't believe it. I'm happy for him. He's worked really hard."
Brad Stepan is the current head hockey coach at Rosemount High School. He said it doesn't appear likely that he will be attending the games.
Josie Stepan won't be able to attend the Olympics. She's a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and will be continuing her studies during the games.

I'm lying in bed yesterday evening, reading W. E. B. DuBois and watching a light snow fall on the bare-limbed trees outside my window. I am quite content - until I hear this interaction from my living room:
[friend #1]: Where are you off to?
[friend #2]: West Gym. Do you think I need a jacket? Probably not, right?
[friend #1]: No way, it's super warm out.
(As a reference, if Carleton campus were New York state, my house would be Albany and West Gym would be Buffalo.)
I drop my book, snatch my computer, and check the temperature.
It's eleven degrees out.
Oh gods of the cold, what sort of beautiful monsters have you created out of us?

Melanoma health centre
Bowen's disease
Bowen's disease is an early form of skin cancer causing a red, scaly patch on the skin that may be mistaken for a rash, eczema or psoriasis.
Bowen's disease is caused by the abnormal growth of cells in the outer layer of the skin ( epidermis) and is a very early form of squamous cell skin cancer which is easily curable.
Bowen's disease is also called squamous cell carcinoma in situ.
Occasionally, in about three to five people out of every 100 who have Bowen's disease, it can invade the deeper layers of the skin and if left undiagnosed and untreated, can turn into a type of skin cancer which can spread to other parts of the body.
How do you get Bowen's disease?
In many cases the cause is unknown but we do know it doesn't run in families, isn't infectious and isn't due to an allergy.
Long-term over exposure to the sun (especially among fair skinned people) is probably the most important risk factor but it can occur in areas that haven't been exposed to the sun. Previous radiotherapy (for a different cancer) in the affected area is another risk factor, as is exposure to arsenic or engineering oils, although this is very rare. It's also more likely to affect people who take medication to suppress their immune system (for example, those who have just had an organ transplant).
Occasionally, Bowen's disease can affect the genital area. This is usually linked with the human papilloma virus ( HPV). There are different types of this common virus and some are linked with cancers, such as cervical cancer.
Bowen's disease is more common in women, and it usually affects people over 60.
Symptoms and diagnosis of Bowen's disease
Bowen's disease can grow anywhere on the body but it commonly occurs on sun-exposed skin, especially the head, hands and lower legs.
To begin with it looks like a red, scaly patch (1-3cm across) or sometimes like raised spots or warts. The affected skin can become itchy and sore, and may bleed and scab.
Bowen's disease is often diagnosed simply by its appearance to the naked eye. This can be confirmed by taking a sample of skin ( biopsy). This is usually done by a dermatologist (specialist in skin diseases). A local anaesthetic is given to numb the area and a small part of the affected skin is removed. The sample is then sent for examination at a laboratory where it will be looked at under a microscope.
What is the treatment for Bowen's disease?
There are a number of different treatments available for Bowen's disease depending on where it is on your body, the size, thickness and the number of patches.
How well the skin is likely to heal afterwards will also be taken into consideration. For example the skin on the lower legs tends to be tight and more fragile (especially in older people) and as a result, there may be problems with it healing.

Vcc must be applied simultaneously or before Vpp, and removed simultaneously or after Vpp. When programming an MXIC EPROM, a 0.1uF capacitor is required across Vpp and ground to suppress spurious voltage transients which may damage the device. AUTO IDENTIFY MODE The auto identify mode allows the reading out of a binary code from an EPROM that will identify its manufacturer and device type. This mode is intended for use by programming equipment for the purpose of automatically matching the device to be programmed with its corresponding programming algorithm. This mode is functional in the 5 °C ambient temperature range that is required when programming the MX27C512. To activate this mode, the programming equipment must force 0.5(VH) on address line A9 of the device. Two identifier bytes may then be sequenced from the device outputs by toggling address line A0 from VIL to VIH. All other address lines must be held at VIL during auto identify mode. Byte A0 = VIL) represents the manufacturer code, and byte (A0 = VIH), the device identifier code. For the MX27C512, these two identifier bytes are given in the Mode Select Table. All identifiers for manufacturer and device codes will possess odd parity, with the MSB (Q7) defined as the parity bit.
FAST PROGRAMMING The device is set up in the fast programming mode when the programming voltage OE/VPP 12.75V is applied, with VCC 6.25 V, (Algorithm is shown in Figure 1). The programming is achieved by applying a single TTL low level 100us pulse to the CE input after addresses and data line are stable. If the data is not verified, an additional pulse is applied for a maximum of 25 pulses. This process is repeated while sequencing through each address of the device. When the programming mode is completed, the data in all address is verified at VCC ± 10%.
READ MODE The MX27C512 has two control functions, both of which must be logically satisfied in order to obtain data at the outputs. Chip Enable (CE) is the power control and should be used for device selection. Output Enable (OE) is the output control and should be used to gate data to the output pins, independent of device selection. Assuming that addresses are stable, address access time (tACC) is equal to the delay from CE to output (tCE). Data is available at the outputs tOE after the falling edge of OE, assuming that CE has been LOW and addresses have been stable for at least tACC - tOE.
PROGRAM INHIBIT MODE Programming of multiple MX27C512s in parallel with different data is also easily accomplished by using the Program Inhibit Mode. Except for CE and OE, all like inputs of the parallel MX27C512 may be common. A TTL low-level program pulse applied MX27C512 CE input with OE/VPP ± 0.5V will program that MX27C512. A high-level CE input inhibits the other MX27C512s from being programmed.
STANDBY MODE The MX27C512 has a CMOS standby mode which reduces the maximum VCC current It is placed in CMOS standby when is at VCC 0.3 V. The MX27C512 also has a TTL-standby mode which reduces the maximum VCC current to 1.5 mA. It is placed in TTL-standby when is at VIH. When in standby mode, the outputs are in a high-impedance state, independent of the OE input.
PROGRAM VERIFY MODE Verification should be performed on the programmed bits to determine that they were correctly programmed. The verification should be performed with OE/VPP and CE, at VIL. Data should be verified tDV after the falling edge of CE.
TWO-LINE OUTPUT CONTROL FUNCTION To accommodate multiple memory connections, a twoline control function is provided to allow for: 1. Low memory power dissipation, 2. Assurance that output bus contention will not occur. It is recommended that CE be decoded and used as the primary device-selecting function, while OE be made a common connection to all devices in the array and connected to the READ line from the system control bus. This assures that all deselected memory devices are in their low-power standby mode and that the output pins are only active when data is desired from a particular memory device. SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS During the switch between active and standby conditions, transient current peaks are produced on the rising and falling edges of Chip Enable. The magnitude of these transient current peaks is dependent on the output capacitance loading of the device. At a minimum, 0.1 uF ceramic capacitor (high frequency, low inherent inductance) should be used on each device between VCC and GND to minimize transient effects. In addition, to overcome the voltage drop caused by the inductive effects of the printed circuit board traces on EPROM arrays, 4.7 uF bulk electrolytic capacitor should be used between VCC and GND for each eight devices. The location of the capacitor should be close to where the power supply is connected to the array.

Scoring hasn't exactly been in vogue this season across the Big 12.
That's why scorers are such a valuable commodity.
And it also made for a project for this blog today. Namely, we wanted to figure out who was the Big 12's leading scorer, in terms of points per minute.
The conference's leading point-per-minute scorer in Oklahoma forward Romero Osby.
The muscular 6-foot-8 power forward is coming off a career game after torching Texas for a career high 29 points and eight rebounds in the Sooners' 73-67 triumph over the Longhorns.
"We really believe that Osby's one of the best players in the league," UT coach Rick Barnes told reporters after the Sooners' victory Monday night.
His point-per-minute average bears out Barnes' claims.
Here's a look at the Big 12's leading scorers, in terms of a 40-minute average. Only those players who have played at least 250 minutes this season were ranked.
1. Romero Osby, Oklahoma, 23.2
2. Pierre Jackson, Baylor, 22.0
3. Tyrus McGee, Iowa State, 22.0
4. Ben McLemore, Kansas, 20.8
5. Jaye Crockett, Texas Tech, 20.4
6. Sheldon McClellan, Texas, 20.1
7. Georges Niang, Iowa State, 19.6
8. Rodney McGruder, Kansas State, 19.3
9. Dejan Kravic, Iowa State, 19.3
10. Will Clyburn, Iowa State, 18.8
11. Isaiah Austin, Baylor, 18.4
12. Aaric Murray, West Virginia, 18.2
13. Cory Jefferson, Baylor, 17.9

Faith Into Action
Faith in action. Sometimes it's tough. These days as I sit and have my quiet time in the morning, I think about my faith a lot.
Having a near death experience, not knowing whether or not I would make it out of the surgery alive, has made me that way.
Each day that my feet hit the floor, I thank God immensely for the time that I have been given.
I stay home while my wife is at work, I homeschool our three kids. It is a huge change for us all. Although it has been five years since my surgery, life is such a struggle. I mean,, being more than half blind, has been a mojor change for more me. It has completely changed who I was. It would be different if perhaps I could drive. Then I would at least be able to get around.
But having gone from a successful pharmaceutical sales professional to a half blind stay at home dad who teaches his kids and does all the household stuff like cooking, cleaning, and laundry is crazy.
Our Faith In Action
Logistically speaking what we have on our hands is a complete nightmare to say the least. We depend on so many people for rides to and from so many locations. Don't get me wrong, I am so, so grateful for all that our friends do for us, we could never repay all the kindness. It's just that you have no idea how crazy it is.
Two weeks ago while the temperature was in the 40's my wife dropped off my youngest daughter and I at a gas station, to catch our connecting ride to school. As my wife drove away for work it dawned on me.
My family's Faith was truly the only thing keeping us all together. It was the only thing keeping my wife and I together. It was the only thing that we can explain to our kids about why things are the way that they are. My wife and both wish things were different.
I have tried hard to hide my blindness from any potential employer. I have filled out so many resumes and been to so many interviews, but nothing seems to work out. Not being able to drive or work in a changing environment has limited many potential jobs for me. Not looking for sympathy, I'm just stating a fact.
It is so very crazy.
How do we do what we do? I mean anyone in their right mind would be done this crazy mess by now. How do we do it.
I answered my own question that day waiting for our ride to school out in the cold with my daughter Mandy.
It is because we know and believe with our innermost being that God and his overflowing wisdom has a plan for us.
How do we know this? It is because we have been practicing what we believe. It is because we don't put our faith up on a shelf somewhere and go to it when it is needed. We put our faith where our mouth is.
Faith is not just a noun that you have and simply hold on to it. Yes you do hold onto faith, but you can't just hold on and not practice faith. Faith has to be intentional and consistently put into practice as in faith the verb.
Faith in action can do more because it is allowing the power of God to work in your life. My family and I, we know that today, because God has a plan, we can do this.
I encourage you to practice what you believe by reading, praying, and holding onto and going where you are called because your faith through God can make it happen.

These are busy times at the London offices of Premier, subject of seven-part fly-on-the-wall documentary The Model Agency (Channel 4). Queen bee Carole sits at her table, the hub of everything, surrounded by her workers. The banter and bitchiness fly back and forth. Your models are ugly. Yours are old. Ha ha ha ha ha. It's good natured though. "The underlying love, if you like, is there in the team," says Carole. They're like family. Some of them are family: Chris the money man is Carole's brother, Sissy is her daughter.
Sometimes someone picks up the phone. "How tall are you?" they ask. Then, "That's not tall enough, bye." There may or may not be someone on the other end.
Suddenly there's a major crisis that is making Annie, who's in charge of the young models, extremely stressed and tearful. Annie lies on the sofa, whining. "I've got something so big going down on my phone I can't cope," she cries. Then she goes round the office asking everyone for tissues and sniffling, so they all know how upset she is.
The crisis is that one of the girls, 16-year-old India, who's out in New York, is having second thoughts about the whole model thing, as a career. How dare she? Chris is quite angry about it. "Does she realise how big the opportunity is?"
"She does, actually," says head of scouting Anthony. "That's the really sad thing."
"It's just unbelievable. What is she going back to?"
"Just regular life, regular life as a teenager."
"Well, it's just the amount of hours and effort that Carole, Annie, you, the phone calls . . . I mean, Jesus Christ, it's just outrageous."
Chris is right – it is outrageous that a 16-year-old should want some kind of normal life instead of making money for him. Especially after all the calls. Who does she think she is?
Crisis meetings are held, mostly on the pavement where cigarettes can be smoked. (Oi, don't flick your fag ends into the road, Carole, someone has to pick them up!) Tearful, stressed-out Annie thinks she can make India see sense, if she can just talk to her. She flies out to New York, for some delicate negotiations.
"This is kind of like, you can come back to it, but then there'll be like 20 other girls, who have, you know, in between, you know what I mean, that's the only thing, the only, you know, I just don't want you to make the mistake as, you know, some of the other new faces have, you know what I'm trying to say don't you?"
No, not really, Annie. You talk a lot of shite. All of you do. Except India, who is about the only articulate, intelligent person on this show. She explains her doubts and the insecurities she feels about the profession, that yes it's exciting and everything to be taken off to New York, but "in my head it was telling me that I needed to go out and do normal things, go to the cinema, see my friends".
Why do people let the cameras in to make these programmes? Publicity, and a hunger for recognition or fame, I suppose. And vanity too; they think they're going to come out well. No one ever does. Why do they think they were approached in the first place? Because a TV company wants to make a seven-part documentary about an ethical industry full of sane, rational, clever, hardworking people? Can't wait for that one.
Yes, I'm sure a lot of it is created in the edit. But, to be honest, I think watching this lot even in real time would still be jaw-dropping. They don't just hang themselves, they then chop their own heads off and stick them on the railings.
Can they really exist? I take a detour on my cycle into work, via Covent Garden and the offices of Premier. I know I'm there by all the fag ends in the street. And there, through the window is the table, with Carole and her gaggle of idiots. It's not so good like this, because I can't hear what they're saying.
Oh yes, that's the other thing about The Model Agency: it's absolutely fascinating.

Remember that world record that Usain Bolt set over the weekend in the 100, breaking a world record that he set in the Olympics? He just set another one, this time in the 200…again, breaking his own record. Bolt has run in five sprints, and won all five…each with another world record.
"Just coming out there, I'm just waiting for the lights to flash 'game over,' cause I felt like I was in a video game," said Shawn Crawford, who finished fourth. "That guy was moving — fast." via.
It's only a matter of time before he gets popped for drugs, right? How can one guy be so quick for such a span of time…and then get FASTER month after month? So far, nobody's accused Bolt of being a woman, which makes sense. It's not like he's scrubbing countertops or anything.


text: In May 2009 I toured a newspaper facility with a group of students and a field recorder. Recently I decided to revisit the recordings and found that one of them was laden with the varied-pitched warning beeps of several robotic paper transporters moving about the printing facility. Here's a duet study that combines the use of the Pro-One with the recording in a similar fashion to the last two examples.

On 28 October I attended the COAG summit on violence against women in Brisbane. This ground breaking summit brought together Australia's heads of government with experts across a range of disciplines addressing violence against women. I was invited to attend by the ACT government to represent women with disabilities.
Each state and territory invited key non-government experts in their jurisdiction to attend. The Federal, ACT and Queensland governments invited 1 woman with disability each, so there were 3 women with disabilities present within the 190 delegates to the summit.
Women with disabilities experience half of the reported cases of violence against women in the ACT (ABS) and this level is similar across all jurisdictions. Yet only 3 women with disabilities were invited to attend the summit, and disability was buried within a discussion group looking at diverse experiences of violence which included violence against men. Despite feeling marginalised and silenced I worked closely with long-time colleague Carolyn Frohmader of Women with Disabilities Australia to put the many concerns of women with disabilities on the table and to have them considered as solutions were proposed.
The summit commenced with each first minister outlining what measures had been undertaken in their state/territory to address violence against women. Most governments focus exclusively on domestic violence rather than the broader issue of violence as outlined in CEDAW obligations. Violence against women with disabilities combines both gender based violence with disability violence and discrimination, what is known as multiple disadvantage or intersectionality, and is often outside legal definitions of domestic violence so women with disabilities are often forgotten or marginalised by government policies. This unfortunately happened again at the COAG summit although we succeeded in having some key conversations with influencers, including some state premiers, about what needs to be done to address this.
During the summit the third action plan to address violence against women was launched. These action plans are the implementation strategies for the National Action Plan which is now in its sixth year. Women with disabilities are one of four key priority areas for the National Plan, but once again little has been outlined to meaningfully address the levels of violence experienced by them. There is stronger language in the third action plan, but there is still no real commitment by the federal government to back this with action.
Until violence against women with disabilities is considered a high priority issue and is addressed specifically by government policies, the levels of violence will remain high. No government in Australia has yet made this commitment or outlined strategies, except Victoria which held a royal commission into the violence experienced by people with disabilities and is now implementing its recommendations.
Christina Ryan attended the COAG violence against women summit with funding support from the ACT government.

When you first arrive in Paris, your first order of business should be to get introduced to the city. This process is not unlike getting introduced to someone new at a cocktail party – while you could just walk up out of the blue and say hello, you may well get a nicer reaction if a mutual friend brought you into the conversation.
In the same way, having some assistance from a mutual friend (AKA someone who lives in or knows Paris very, very well) in getting to know the city can make a world of difference.
There are several ways you can get to know the city, including the many organized Paris tours which run on both land and water. These may seem impersonal, depending on the size of the group, but they can help you get a lay of the land so that when you go back exploring on your own you have a better idea of where things are and even sometimes which sights you want to skip entirely. And if you sign up for a smaller group tour, you'll feel more like you're getting a city tour from an old friend than from a tour guide.
Here are a few options to consider for tours of Paris.
Paris Tours
Paris is a big enough city with enough variety that there are several ways to take a tour of Paris. You can do overview tours by bus, boat, or on foot, or you can focus on specific elements of the city – food, shopping, history, etc. You can also do several tours in one visit to Paris to get an even broader picture of the kind of city it is.
If you opt for one of the tours that are hop on/hop off (usually buses or boats), they often come with a headset so you can listen to a recorded guide in your own language. Sometimes there's a real live person as a guide, but that's less common on a tour when people will be getting on and off throughout the trip.
There are also tours that are specifically designed to be smaller groups, so you can have more interaction with your guide and have a more personal experience.
Sample Paris Tour Options:
- Paris Boat Tours
- Paris Walking Tours
- Paris Tours from isango! – including shows at Moulin Rouge, Seine Cruises, Dinner at the Eiffel Tower, bus tours, and more
- Context Travel Tours of Paris – smaller groups, walking seminars
- Paris Greeters: Hang Out with Real Parisians
- Paris Walks: Offering Walking Tours of Paris
Day Trips from Paris
There's enough in Paris to fill an itinerary of several weeks, but it's also well-placed to take day trips into the surrounding area to explore life outside the French capital. Many of the most popular day trips are easy enough to organize on your own, and there are also tour companies ready and waiting to escort you to any one of the nearby towns or attractions if you prefer.
Most of the day trips from Paris don't include much in the way of free time, but one thing you want to find out before you book one is whether there are any costs you'll need to be taking care of on the day of the tour. For instance, while the cost of a day trip to Versailles may include the services of a guide for the entire day, it may not include train fare or the admission to get into Versailles. Also, for tours of more than a half-day there is usually a plan for a meal midway through, so be aware that you may need to bring extra cash to pay for a light meal or snack.

Adventure Trips in Paris
The words "Paris" and "adventure travel" may not seem to go together well, but in this case the term "adventure travel" simply means that these organized tour groups aren't the big-bus variety. They're more like the kind of trip you'd organize for yourself if you had the time and energy to do so, with independent travelers in mind.
Often with these small group tours there's lots of free time in each destination, but the big things are taken care of – your transportation between each city, your accommodation each night, any day trip excursions, and guided tours of the main attractions. The trips that include Paris can include other stops in France and elsewhere in Europe, and they can be very general or more specific (food/wine tours, hiking tours, etc.), so look around to find the one that suits you best.

In the computational world, where speed is king, fifteen zeros is the current frontier. The new wave of petascale supercomputers going online around the world in the coming months are capable of performing at least one quadrillion, or 1,000,000,000,000,000, floating calculations per second. In exponential notation, a quadrillion is shortened to 1 x 10^15, so clever computer scientists declared October 15th (get it?) to be Petascale Day, a celebration of this new computational land speed record and its ability to transform science.
Here at the Computation Institute, we observed the day by hosting a lunch event with the University of Chicago Research Computing Center, putting together a roster of six talks about these powerful machines and the new types of research they will enable. The speakers, who hailed from Argonne National Laboratory, the University of Chicago, and the Computation Institute, talked about the exciting potential of the petascale, as well as the technical challenges scientists face to get the most out of the latest supercomputers.
To put petascale in perspective, the computer you're reading this on likely works at the gigascale — armed with a processor that can do some number of billions of calculations per second. That sounds like a lot, but it's still a long path from the gigascale, via the terascale (where most of today's supercomputers and computing clusters sit), to the petascale, which is roughly one million times faster than your laptop. The latest home computers achieve faster speeds through the use of multi-core processors which can split up the computational workload among 2, 4, or 8 processing unit, and the same strategy is employed by the new class of supercomputers as well, although in their case the number of cores is fast approaching one million.
Take Mira, the new supercomputer currently being installed at Argonne National Laboratory, which carries 1,024 16-core nodes. Per rack. And there are 48 racks, bringing the grand total to 768,000 cores. That's enough horsepower to make Mira the #3 fastest supercomputer in the world when it reaches "full production mode" in 2014, said Katherine Riley, Manager of the Scientific Applications Group at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF). At peak strength, Mira will be a 10 petaflop machine (capable of 10 quadrillion calculations per second) that will provide over 5 billion computing hours to scientists around the world who want to use the supercomputer for research.
Reaching the petascale with Mira is only the latest milestone for the ALCF, which was founded by the Department of Energy in the mid-2000's (along with a twin facility at Oak Ridge) to bring computational clout to ambitious science projects, Riley said.
"If you wanted to solve very, very large scale problems, you had very few places that you could go," Riley said. "So the way these facilities were built was not just to build a large facility and drop it on the floor, but to bring experts into the facility so that people could actually talk to computational science experts about how they could run their problems on these machines."
But the challenge of harvesting the maximum rewards out of unprecedented computational power ability remains relevant below the petascale as well, said H. Birali Runesha, director of the Research Computing Center at the University of Chicago. At the heart of the RCC is the Midway computing cluster, which might develop an inferiority complex next to Mira if computers had feelings, what with only 3,200 computing cores. But Runesha said that the RCC sees its hardware as building blocks bridging the gap between researchers using their desktop computers and world-class machines such as Mira. Many scientists don't need petascale computing to run the applications they need for their research, Runesha said, and many more don't know how to write the software that truly capitalizes upon such powerful resources.
"The hardware evolves so fast, but the software is really lagging behind," Runesha said. "The bulk of the work happening on campuses with graduate students and researchers is at a scale below 100 processors. There is a lot of work that needs to be done even at the terascale level before moving to the petascale level."
When researchers are ready to make that jump, there will be a lot of local petascale computing time available for request. In addition to the billions of computing hours Mira will bring to the table, a sibling from downstate will also share the load. Blue Waters will be a 760,000-core (380,000 floating point unit), 1 petaflop supercomputer housed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. As Computation Institute Fellow Michael Wilde described it, Blue Waters will serve a very similar audience of scientists and engineers looking to increase the scale of their computational research. Fifty million of the computer's core hours will be allocated to the Great Lakes Consortium for Petascale Computation, an alliance of 28 universities, laboratories, and even K-12 school districts including the University of Chicago (You can apply now for some of those Blue Waters hours here).
As with all powerful new tools, scientists will also spend a lot of time on Blue Waters and other petascale machines of its ilk, learning how to make their applications perform well on these integrations of leadership-class computing, storage and networking facilities — underscoring just how much still needs to be learned about our powerful new computational abilities.
"The machine was also focused to some extent on achieving computer science and computer technology innovation," Wilde said. "A fair amount of focus on the machine will be on architectural research and on software research to begin to understand what kind of softwares we need to keep a machine this large sustained."
[But what can scientists do with all these quadrillions of calculations in medicine, chemistry and economics? Are they ready for the petascale? Find out in Part 2 of the Petascale Day recap tomorrow, featuring talks by Robert Grossman, John Hammond and Svetlozar Nestorov.]

WNC earns possible rematch
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. -- All nine starters contributed to a 15-hit attack that helped lead Western Nevada College to an 11-6 victory against Middle Georgia at the JUCO World Series on Monday.
What doesn't show up in the box score, however, is the defensive effort that matched those hits as the Wildcats (47-13) won their second straight elimination game to stay alive in the double elimination tournament at Suplizio Field. WNC plays again Tuesday at 3 p.m. against the loser of a game between Howard College and Shelton State (played later on Monday night).
Mike Stiles, Lance Ray, Brian Barnett, Mike Long, Jerome Pena and Daniel Zylstra had two hits each to lead WNC's offense. Eric Maupin and Ray hit solo home runs, Pena's two-run triple gave the Wildcats a 6-3 lead in the fifth inning and Barnett drove in two runs with a bases loaded double that made it 10-6 in the eighth.
Every one of those runs was needed against a potent Middle Georgia club that collected 14 hits and would have scored more if not for at least a half dozen sparkling defensive plays. In the end, reliever Jake Waardenburg came on with the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth inning and retired the side on a low liner to Zylstra at shortstop.
"That might be as good a hitting lineup top to bottom as we've ever faced," WNC coach D.J. Whittemore said. "So to hold them to six runs feels real good."
Barnett set the tone in the top of the first inning. With a runner on second and two outs, Middle Georgia cleanup hitter T.J. Rich hit a long drive into the gap in left-center that Barnett ran down and caught to retire the side.
WNC scored twice in the bottom half of the inning when Stiles doubled and scored on Mike Long's ground ball out. Pena followed with an RBI single.
Maupin homered over the left field fence with one out in the second to give WNC a 3-0 lead. Middle Georgia tied the score in the fourth inning when Josh Purvis hit a three-run homer. The Wildcats came back to regain the lead with three runs in the fifth, highlighted by Long's RBI single and Pena's two-run triple into the gap in left-center.
The Wildcats never trailed again, but there was no lack for drama.
Long's diving catch of Shawn Payne's sinking line drive in center field retired the side with two runners aboard in the third inning. Payne, the dangerous No. 3 hitter in Middle Georgia's lineup, stroked a low liner that Zylstra caught and doubled a runner off first base to end the fifth. Kramer Champlin, who came on in relief of starter Josh Moody in the sixth, made a barehand pickup of a slow roller down the third base line and threw a strike to Maupin at first base to retire the side with two runners in scoring position.
Middle Georgia scored twice to pull to within 8-6 in the eighth inning, and the Warriors were threatening to do more damage before Champlin, the Scenic West Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Year, retired the side on two strikeouts and a comebacker.
In the bottom half of the inning, Jay Skilton drew a leadoff walk and advanced to second when Stiles laid down a sacrifice bunt. Ray, who had homered over the center field fence in the seventh, was walked intentionally to put runners on first and second. Barnett capitalized on the situation as he drilled a line drive double to center field, bringing both runners home. Barnett later scored on a throwing error to make it 11-6.
"We've got hitters everywhere," said Ray. "You can't just pitch around our guys. Everybody picks everybody up. That's what's good about our team."
Middle Georgia loaded the bases with two outs in the ninth before Waardenburg came on to slam the door shut and earn his first save of the season.
"Junior College World Series, bases loaded, two outs, yeah, I'd say that was a big situation," Waardenburg said. "Coach just told me to forget the runners, it was all about the batter."
Moody (6-0), who allowed four runs and seven hits over 5.1 innings earned credit for the win. The Arizona State-bound left-hander struck out three, walked one and hit one batter.

Chapter 17: Ly's Growth (3)
TL: Haku
Edited: Stealth
Through the training skill, Ly's Potential increased little by little. And whenever his Potential's digit changed by 10, the growth range of Ly's stats increased whenever Ly leveled up.
'As expected, Beginner-level Training skill was a fraud skill!'
In the Kailan community, instead of seeing the hidden classes as a better class than the normal class, they saw it more strongly as a slightly different and rare class. This was because the users with the hidden classes weren't particularly stronger than the users with the normal classes.
However, Ian thought that wasn't correct all the time. When a hidden class is received, appropriate experimentation and thinking were needed according to the class and optimized nurturing is needed, but he thought that because people raise their hidden class just as they would a normal one, which is why it becomes average.
And while raising a hidden class himself, Ian was realizing that his assumption was right.
'All monsters have a distinct Potential and depending on this Potential, the stat range increased per level up is decided.'
Increasing Potential meant that the Monster's class itself was rising. And the skill that was able to raise that Potential was precisely 'Training'.
Ian, who received that enlightenment, immediately opened the skill window. And he invested all the skill points that he hadn't used since the beginning and saved up onto 'Beginner-level Training'.
He was tempted for a moment to maybe invest into 'Beginner-level Tactics' as he was low on Leadership and couldn't catch the bear, but he automatically thought that he did a good job holding back.
- You have invested all of your skill points towards 'Beginner-level Training'.
- As 'Beginner-level Training' skill has reached lv 5, it has been reinforced to 'Intermediate-level Training'.
Ian checked the skill window with a satisfied expression.
Intermediate-level Training
Classification: Active Skill
Skill Level: Lv 0
Proficiency: 0%
Cooldown Time: 25 minutes
- For 15 minutes, the appointed Familiar will be put into 'Training' status.
- The Familiar in the 'Training' status will have a higher understanding towards commands than usual and will learn the commands.
- The more 'Training' is repeated, the Familiar's 'Potential' increases.
- The higher 'Intermediate-level Training's skill level, the bigger the range to increase Potential.
Ian brightened up. It didn't show up in the information window, but the range to increase Potential per training time would have for sure increased as well. And above all, the cooldown time had reduced 10 minutes.
With the application of the option to reduce the cooldown time that was attached to the 'Necklace of Pitch Darkness' that he just obtained, he was able to use it every 20 minutes.
Ian, who solved a big curiosity, put his notebook back into his chest with a satisfied smile.
'Now I feel much better.'
Like a person who had just solved their constipation, Ian's expression was incredibly bright.
Before he began to hunt again, Ian checked Ly's Potential once again.
'His Potential is at 94. We'll be able to hit 100 soon enough.'
Since the growth range changed every 10 digits, Ian felt incredible anticipation wondering what change there would be when there was an increase in digits themselves.
"Damn it, I've wasted almost 1 hr."
Ian, who checked the time, grumbled to himself as he lifted his bow again. If limitless training without getting tired was a talent, Ian had an incredible talent. And shortly after, he reached lv 20.
Jinsung logged off according to the lunch time he had decided and consumed a simple meal of bread and milk.
Click-. Click-.
Of course, even at this time, he was diligently searching for information about Kailan with one hand holding the mouse.
"If I studied like this, I would probably be a judge or a doctor by now, right?"
Jinsung, who mumbled out meaningless words, watched a video while taking a bite of his bread. It was a combat video on one of the new classes that were released along with the update, the Black Magician.
It was the lv 18 user that was the highest-level Black Magician currently up in the community.
"Ooh, the skulls are cuter than I thought."
Jinsung, who was diligently clicking his mouse, finished his milk and without hesitation, he stood up from his spot. It was time to sit back inside the capsule.
"Shall I log in now?"
However, just then, Jinsung's smartphone started ringing.
Ring-. Ring-.
'What the hell? There's nowhere to be getting a call from…'
It was a situation just as rare as the chance of getting dragon armor from catching slime.
Jinsung, who slightly flinched at the unexpected situation, checked the calling number.
'This is an unknown number… I've paid off all my school loans, maintenance fees I paid last time… where exactly am I getting a call from?'
Ian considered just ending the call but because it was a call in such a long time, he decided to pick up the phone.
- Yes, this is the number of student Jinsung, right?
It was even a thin and beautiful voice of a woman. Jinsung felt his heart throb a little.
"Yes, I am?"
- I am Lee Jihyun, the teaching assistant of Korea University's Virtual Reality major department.
"Ah, yes, TA, hello."
The heart throbbing was only a moment and as soon as Jinsung heard that it was a TA, he was nervous. This was because Jinsung had a lot of parts where he felt guilty because of his lack of responsibility towards his school life, to the point none of his professors thought that he was a current student throughout the whole semester.
- Yes, it's nothing else. You know Lee Jinook Professor, right?
If it was Lee Jinook Professor, Jinsung knew him. This was because he was also the head of the department.
"Yes, I know him."
- The Professor asks that you call him.
"Call… him?"
He began to be seized by unknown anxiety.
- Yes.
"Can I… know the reason why?"
- It's most likely because of student Jinsung's mark…
Jinsung's hands started to shake.
'What the hell? I was thinking that it wasn't an academic warning, no way that its probation? No, I've attended all classes of The Understanding of Virtual Reality, so they should have given me a D.'
Jinsung, who collected his unsteady heart, opened his mouth.
"Excuse me… TA. "
- Yes?
"What would happen if I don't call the Professor?"
- Ah, right. If student Jinsung doesn't call the Professor, he said he'll send your report card home… Of course, you know that home doesn't mean your rented room here, right?
Jinsung's pupil began to shake again.
He couldn't let that happen. Jinsung had no confidence in controlling his father's wrath that would explode out as soon as the report card went home.
'At the sweet age of 20, I may be forced to return to farming.'
The scarier thing than returning to farming was the chance that he might had to sell his capsule away.
Jinsung had no other choice.
"Looks… like I'll have to give him a call."
- Oh-ho, good thinking. Let's meet next semester, student Jinsung.
As the call ended, Jinsung had an expression as if he had lived his whole life. He didn't know that the phone call he hadn't had in a long time would leave this much mental damage.
"Ha… right, I need… to call. Do I have Lee Jinook Professor's number?"
Fortunately, he had the number. He believed he saved the number at the Freshman Orientation.
Jinsung, who calmed his anxious heart with deep breaths, called the Professor shortly after.
- Yes, this is Lee Jinook.
"Hello, Professor. This is Park Jinsung. I heard you were looking for me…"
A dry voice rang through the phone.
It was like the voice of a middle-aged delivery man of a Chinese restaurant that had an overload of orders on a rainy day.
- Park Jinsung? Ah, right, the freshman. That's right, I did tell you to call me.
"Yes, for what reason you were looking for me…."
- Are you asking that right now because you don't know?
Jinsung opened his mouth again after suppressing the desire to say 'I don't know.'
"By any chance, is it because of my marks?"
- That's right. Is there some bad situation in your home? Or did you get dumped by your girlfriend… Why exactly have you not done anything in your major and get an academic warning in your first semester?
Jinsung flinched again at the word academic warning.
"Academic… warning? Don't I have… two Fs?"
At Korea University where Jinsung was attending, it was an academic warning if you got 3 Fs in one semester. If it was two academic warnings, then it was expulsion. For someone who was not very afraid of getting a low grade, Jinsung's reason for being afraid of getting an academic warning was here.
- That's right, you have two Fs so far. That's why I'm thinking about giving you your third F.
An obvious threat!
Jinsung's two hands shook.
He wanted to say 'What do you exactly want from me, Professor', but Jinsung wasn't that fearless of a student.
"What do I need to do then, Professor…"
- Firstly, let's hear the reason why you're neglecting your major.
Truthfully, there was never a case where in university, not even high school, a Professor personally called saying that you weren't studying hard.
However, the Virtual Reality department was a new department newly created at Korea University. Especially Lee Jinook Professor's passion and pride towards the department was on a different level from others, so Jinsung's negligence was unacceptable.
Meanwhile, Jinsung was thinking about how to respond and thought hard of a stunt that he could pull.
'I had no choice because I was gaming… would make me sound like I've gone crazy, wouldn't it?'
Firstly, Jinsung slightly tested Lee Jinook Professor.
"Professor, the reason why I came into the Virtual Reality department."
- Tell me.
"I had a not-so-small interest in 'Virtual Reality' ever since, and it was because I felt a longing towards the infinite possibilities."
- … So?
"There are many reasons why 'Virtual Reality' is currently getting so much attention right now, but one of the biggest reasons is because of the game 'Kailan', right?"
- That's true.
Jinsung swallowed his dry saliva.
From now on was important.
"If you want to catch a tiger, don't you have to go into the tiger's den?"
Lee Jinook Professor's sense was fast. He figured out what Jinsung was trying to say instantly.
- So you're saying you've been playing a game all day, so you couldn't do well in your studies…?
"It's not for the purpose of just playing games all day, Professor. It was to more closely research about the Virtual Reality world implemented in Kailan that is surprisingly realistic…"
At Jinsung's lame excuse, Lee Jinook sent off a reproach.
- So then, what level are you?
- I'm asking what level are you? If you've worked so hard, you must be ranked in the Korean server ranking, no?
For a second, Jinsung felt his body stiffen as if it was hit by lightning. He thought even a tear would drop at his sadness.
'If only I didn't reset…!'
For the first time, he regretted resetting his character. If it wasn't for resetting, he could have confidently said 'I am ranked' here.
"I… That is… Professor."
- Why can't you say it?
However, he couldn't think of an excuse to say.
He wanted to ask himself.
'Jinsung, why can't you say it…'
That's why he could only say the truth that sounded more like a lie than an actual lie.
"I was originally a lv 93… but I reset just a while ago… So I'm lv 20… right now…"
The more he said, Jinsung's words became muddled.
At those words, the Professor couldn't help but feel ridiculed.
- What? Are you kidding me…
However, Jinsung had little words that he could say.
"But it's the truth, Professor…"
