Joe Nichols Brings Family on the Road to Make It 'Home Away From Home'
Being on the road a lot can take its toll on country stars, especially when they have to leave a family behind. Joe Nichols makes it a point to take his family along for the ride whenever it's possible, because he knows it's not always easy for them.
"With 'Sunny and 75' doing so great, it's validating and that's a tremendous feeling," Nichols said about his current hit (quote via Country Weekly). "It's been worth all the struggles to get here, but the people that probably paid the biggest price is my family. Missing them and being gone a lot and not being able to be there and experience a lot of things with them, that's worth noting."
Of course, the singer is referring to his wife, Heather, and his baby girl, Dylan. To help him make it easier on the family of three, he takes them along whenever he possibly can.
"If it's a long trip, then it's probably not a good idea, but if it's an easy stop-to-stop trip, if there are four dates in a row that are short drives overnight that we can get to with ease, then it makes more sense," he explained. "We've done that before and it's great. It makes the road feel much less like an away-from-home deal, and I appreciate that."

Contributed by Laurent Robin, MEMS Analyst, Yole Développement
Until 2009, the MEMS industry was traditionally driven by the automotive area. This was true for pressure sensors for instance, and also for inertial sensors: MEMS accelerometers for airbags became the first high-volume application for MEMS inertial sensors. But whereas the market for motion sensors is now mature for many automotive applications, more and more consumer electronic devices integrate MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes.
Often considered as more mature than the gyroscope industry, the accelerometer industry has seen a significant announcement in October: the fast-growing MEMS accelerometer manufacturer Kionix (USA) was acquired by the Japanese company Rohm (J).
Since that time this explanation has been expanded and discussed throughout the MEMS industry around the world. More specifically, the discussion has led to the amount paid by Rohm for Kionix. According to the analysis by Yole Finance of the financial statements of Rohm released in Japan in early November of this year the amount was 21.0 Billion Yen or approximately $233.0 million in cash. This is a Price-to-Sales-P/S multiple of 4.5x (the me-dian P/S for MEMS from 2000-2009 is 2.15 and the mean is 3.37) which is a premium of 36% compared to the mean average of 3.37. This price can be explained by several factors. The major one is that there is not so much private MEMS company successful in the con-sumer field. Kionix was one of them so there were probably several companies willing to ac-quire them: big IC players, gyroscope manufacturers… And if we look more specifically at the industry situation in Japan, we can guess that the Japanese industry needed to get stronger competencies in MEMS accelerometers and acquisition was the only possibility.
Consumer electronics is now the largest MEMS market: a major change for the motion industry
Driven by cellphones devices, the market is now higher for MEMS accelerometers in the consumer area: the latest estimates from Yole show a $465M market in the consumer area versus $439M in the automotive field. If we consider MEMS gyroscopes, the automotive market is still the greatest, but will be passed by the consumer one in the coming years: the annual growth through 2013 is estimated to be 27.3% compared to 2.5% for the consumer and automotive markets respectively.
This implies many changes for the industry. Pressure on price has never by so high. With in-creasing volumes many players are shifting to production on 8": ST Microelectronics (IT), In-venSense (USA), Bosch Sensortec (D)… And this also implies many new technical chal-lenges: the integration of multiaxis sensors on the same chip, the reduction of mounting space and now the integration of several sensors in a cluster. Examples of developments moving in this direction are numerous. InvenSense announced a multichip, 6 degrees of freedom solution (with 3 gyroscope and 3 accelerometer axes) just a few months ago. Ad-vances in monolithic integration have also been shown by SensorDynamics (Austria) with an accelerometer and gyroscope on the same chip and with advances from Wacoh (J) which aims at a 5 degrees of freedom sensing solution with a single structure! And the imminent release of the first 3-axis gyroscopes will certainly be a key step toward more integration.
However it is noteworthy that the consumer area is not the only one to be significantly im-pacted by MEMS motion sensors. MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes are pushing to-ward higher performance for use in defense and aerospace applications.
Products with only 1 to 10°/h bias stability of gyroscopes (tactical grade) are now reaching the market! Applications such as missiles and ammunitions are very demanding for MEMS technology. Yole estimates that MEMS-based Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) already account for 40% of units in the missile area! The number of players developing hig perfor-mance solutions is still increasing. Northrop Grumman has shipped its first MEMS IMUs, de-veloped by Litef (D), Thales has also unveiled impressive advances on their silicon gyros-cope development. Other players have released new gyroscopes which are, for some of them, in direct competition with some fiber-optic gyroscopes: Sensonor (NO), SSS/AIS (UK/J), Systron Donner (USA) and Gladiator Technologies (USA). The accelerometer area is also showing progress, with higher stability MEMS accelerometers from Colibrys (CH), and with an innovative optical detection technology offered by Lumedyne Technologies (USA), which is even capable of reaching navigation-grade performance, for space applications!
3-axis gyroscopes announced: a major step toward low cost MEMS IM-Us
InvenSense, with its reputation for innovation in the gyroscope area, announced the first 3-axis gyroscope a few weeks ago. This product is predicted to be a blockbuster for the motion sensing industry: it is surprisingly small (only 0.9mm thick with a 4x4mm² footprint!), cheap (less than 3$ in volume) and ready to be integrated in many applications, complete with digital output. The range is wide (2000°/s), making it ideal for the future generation of gaming systems, but this gyroscope is still highly sensitive thanks to its 16-bit resolution ADC. Yole has learned that this product has already been in sampling by selected customers since February 2009. The target date for full production, which is imminent (Q1 2010) seems thus quite realistic.
Although intended for gaming or pointing applications, the first products to integrate this 3-axis sensor could be cellphones, because product life cycles are shorter than gaming sys-tems and set-top boxes.
ST Microelectronics reaction has been immediate, with an announcement of a 3-axis gyros-cope a few weeks after only. Another 3-axis gyroscope development comes from start-up Qualtre (USA). The technology used is fairly disruptive, since a resonant disc is used (BAW principle). With a renewed management team, the company is close to hitting the market, with a 3-axis gyroscope in sampling at the beginning of 2010 and general availability planned for the summer. 6-axis solutions with integrated accelerometer are also on the com-pany's roadmap.
Such small and cheap solutions are a first step toward a cheap inertial measurement unit based on MEMS technology: 3 axis gyroscopes and 3 axis accelerometers together in the same small package could be offered at a price of 3 to 4$ very soon. The gaming and handset industries are very hungry for such solutions.
The latest Wii game controller already integrates a dual axis gyroscope combined with a separate single axis gyroscope, respectively from InvenSense and Epson Toyocom (J). Used with the original 3-axis accelerometer, this gives an IMU function performed by 3 separate chips today. Yole estimates than more than 10M of such solutions have already been sold.
The gaming industry has validated the need for motion sensing: for their next generation of products in 2010, Sony (PS3 motion controller) and Microsoft (Natal project) have an-nounced than they will use innovative motion sensing concepts. In some cases however (the Natal project), optical sensors within a special camera may be preferred to MEMS gyros-copes and accelerometers.
This market for MEMS IMUs is thus just emerging in the consumer electronics area; Yole predicts that MEMS IMUs will represent a $348M market in 2013, driven by cellphones, gaming systems and TV remotes. This will be the biggest market for MEMS IMUs, although many applications are growing as well in the industrial and medical areas: sitcom antenna stabilization, surveying equipment, directional drilling… This fragmented market for in-dustrial applications should represent $143M for MEMS IMUs in 2013. In the defense and aerospace area the market is already significant and should continue to grow to $305M by 2013: some applications are already mature (aircraft safety instruments) when others are growing (missile guidance, autopilots for UAVs) and new applications are still emerging: soldier navigation, ammunitions & smart bombs… However if one look at the automotive area, the need for MEMS IMUs is still unclear (cf Figure 1).
An evolving competitive landscape for gyroscopes and accelerometers
Kionix acquisition in October is a sign of the rapid evolution of the gyroscope and accelero-meter competitive landscape. The motivation is clear from Rohm's side: this is a very ambi-tious group trying to become a world leader in sensors. And for Kionix investors this was probably a good time to sell the company. Kionix has been very successful with an esti-mated 17% market share in accelerometers for consumer electronics applications in 2008. But the competition from the leader ST Microelectronics has become strong and Kionix will now be able to benefit from the infrastructure of a big IC player such as Rohm. This is also probably a sign that the evolution of the accelerometer industry is moving toward more inte-gration at the die level: there is not only a need for integration of more complex signal processing but also a need for integration of new functions and sensors. Memsic (USA/CN) is another company which should benefit from the possibility of integrating different types of sensors together: in addition to their accelerometer products (now in 3-axis), Memsic has launched a line of magnetometer products.
Several other players are working on innovative technologies for manufacturing magnetome-ters with the aim of integrating those components with accelerometers and gyroscopes.
The competition has also changed in the gyroscope area. Traditionally dominated by Japa-nese players (Panasonic, Epson Toyocom, Murata), new players have developed innovative products and have been able to integrate new applications successfully. InvenSense is probably the best success story: with 100M gyroscope axes shipped so far, the company now dominates the consumer field and continues to innovate with several projects in hand. Prior to the 3-axis gyroscope announcement, InvenSense launched a 2-axis digital gyros-cope optimized for cellphone applications, allowing the cellphone market to takeoff as soon as next year… However the competition against ST Microelectronics is difficult: ST Micro has increasing market traction thanks to its recently introduced 2-axis gyroscopes. The success of the Italian company can be explained by its successful experience by its accelerometer products and by its strategy of driving down prices.

Most of us know Thomas Edison for his work with the light bulb, but how many of you are familiar with his studies in horticulture?
An aged Edison purchased 13.5 acres of land outside Ft. Myers, Fla. around 1900. That property, now known as the Edison Botanic Research Laboratory, was formally dedicated in February, 2012. Edison's wife, Mina, bequeathed the original property to the cty of Ft. Myers in 1947. The lab is now a registered Florida Historic Landmark as well a National Register Historic Site.
Edison first visited the area in 1885, desiring to set up a lab and growing fields to cultivate bamboo. His plan was to grow different varieties of the plant and test the feasibility of bamboo strips as filaments in light bulbs. That dream fizzled, so to speak, but the inventor loved the area so much he used the property as his get-a-way retreat. A good friend, Henry Ford, eventually bought property neighboring his.
Around 1928 Edison struck up a scientific and business partnership with Harvey Firestone (the tire dude). Their primary interest was developing an alternative to rubber from plants that could be grown in this country. Together, Firestone, Ford and Edison each put up $25,000 and founded the Edison Botanic Research Corporation.
Edison would go on to test over 2,200 different species of plants at the facility, before finally settling on (of all things) the goldenrod as the most promising plant for latex extraction. He eventually developed his own strain, Solidago edisoniana, which grew to fourteen feet tall. The process of extracting latex from goldenrod garnered him his 1,090th patent. Sometime after Edison's death, the research lab was moved to Georgia.
So if you're ever in the Ft. Myers area (and you're a horticulture or history nut like me), look this place up.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - For babies at higher risk of childhood diabetes because of family history or genes, a gluten-free diet in the first year of life does not lower the chances of developing the disease, German researchers report.
The findings undercut previous studies, including work from the same scientists, suggesting that babies exposed to gluten as part of their early diet might be more likely to develop type 1 diabetes later in childhood.
Although the new study included only 150 children, Dorothy Becker, director of the diabetes program at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, told Reuters Health the results are reasonably clear.
"It doesn't mean that it if you did a huge study there wouldn't be an effect (of gluten)," said Becker, who was not involved in the study. "But it makes it unlikely."
Gluten is the protein in wheat and other grains that makes dough elastic and gives bread its chewiness. Roughly 1 percent of people in the United States have a condition called celiac disease, in which immune reactions to gluten damage the intestines.
Each year about 20 kids per 100,000 under the age of 10 in the U.S. are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, according to the National Institutes of Health. In contrast with type 2 diabetes, which is usually a disease of adults and associated with old age or obesity, type 1 diabetes typically strikes children.
Many of them likely inherited a genetic predisposition to the disease from their parents. Yet genes alone don't fully explain why people develop the condition. Other factors, such as environmental exposures, are thought to be necessary to trigger it.
In the latest study, the researchers followed 150 babies with at least one parent or sibling who had been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes — marked by the death of islet cells in the pancreas that secrete the hormone insulin. The body requires insulin to convert dietary sugars into energy.
Half of the children were exposed to gluten in their diet for the first time at the age of six months. For the rest, exposure to the protein was delayed until after their first birthday.
The different diets appeared to have no impact on the babies' ability to grow or gain weight.
By age 3, three children exposed to gluten early had developed type 1 diabetes, compared to four in the late-exposure group. Signs that the children had developed immune reactions to their own islet cells - a possible precursor to diabetes, especially in those with a genetic predisposition for the disorder - appeared in 11 children given gluten at six months of age, compared to 13 who first ate gluten when they were 12 months old.
Some research has suggested that delaying exposure to gluten can increase the risk of developing celiac disease. However, the German scientists said they found no evidence for such a link.
Roughly 30 percent of parents said they did not strictly follow the diet plan. Still, the researchers said, the results of the study show that although delaying the introduction of gluten into a baby's diet causes no harm, it doesn't appear to reduce the risk of diabetes or immune-related early-indicators of insulin problems.
The researchers did not respond to requests for comment on their study, which appeared online last month in the journal Diabetes Care.
Research into other potential food triggers for type 1 diabetes is ongoing. Last November, researchers in Finland reported that babies with a genetic predisposition for type 1 diabetes who were fed an infant formula called Nutramigen were about half as likely as those given conventional cows' milk formulas to show signs of islet cell autoimmunity later in childhood. The milk proteins in Nutramigen (sold as Enfamil by Mead Johnson & Co.) are altered in a way that makes them more tolerable to the immune system.
Becker is helping to lead a large international trial funded by the National Institutes of Health to further explore the Finish findings. The results of that study, which includes nearly 2,200 babies, are expected in 2017, she said.

Or use of the SPRNG > library which was mentioned earlier. Anyone preparing to use RNG's seriously should (these days) likely START with the latest version of the Gnu Scientific Library (gsl), which is getting quite sophisticated and complete time passes and lots of very talented people continue to contribute. I'm playing with a fairly recent but not even bleeding-edge current snapshot of the library, and there are (or were recently) 56 different RNG's encapsulated in the library's one basic call wrapper, selectable either in code or via an external environment variable. The best of these is very good indeed -- it passes the DIEHARD tests, has a period of something truly absurd like 10^6000, and is almost as fast as NR's ran3 (which fails DIEHARD and has an uncomfortably short period). With a period like this, getting non-overlapping seeds from e.g. /dev/random is likely enough for "any" application (in quotes so that I can better withstand it when somebody tells me why this is wrong and I'm silly to even think it for THEIR application...:-) I'm embedding the gsl in a testing/benchmarking wrapper designed to JUST test (against e.g. diehard and sts/fips), benchmark, and demonstrate all these RNG's in a shell that makes it fairly easy to test standalone generators or hardware generators or new subroutine-level generators. This is a natural extension of my benchmarking /dev/random for speed last week. I'll probably announce it on the list if/when I ever finish it. The GSL manual (http://sources.redhat.com/gsl/ref/gsl-ref_toc.html) is an excellent numerical resource to benchmark. It is a good idea to read its discussion of RNG's, look over the generators it provides (including many old/obsolete/known bad generators for comparison purposes). It is a generally BAD idea to use ANY code from Numerical Recipes. There is a lovely online rant against NR that scathingly picks it apart in terms of the quality of its algorithms. It also has a horribly restrictive copyright and license, if one actually takes the time to read it. Currently, one can't even use NR in one's own code on one's own machine unless one owns the book and types in the code BY HAND. Licenses for machine readable access for multiple machines, networks, multiple users, and so forth are ruinously expensive. Before the GSL matured, NR might have been one of the few games in town along with even more expensive IMSL, NAG and so forth. At this point, the GSL is powerful, extensive, portable, GPL, extensible, etc, etc. So far, I've found its routines to be of high quality with a few exceptions where the code "just wasn't finished" yet. There are a lot of very good numerical coders contributing now, and many areas are very well covered indeed (the table of contents alone is nearly 1000 lines long). rgb Robert G.

At first glance the work of Vincent Tomczyk appears to be normal ready-made objects. However, each piece is carefully constructed almost entirely from different types of paper. Yeah, paper. You can't sit on these chairs or slip into those shorts without ripping it. In a way, this seems to be Tomczyk's intention. Tomczyk and his viewers investigate these objects by painstakingly rebuilding them without their utilitarian properties. He says:

Ahh, but that's part of thinking carefully about the design up front (or perhaps for the Nth version), rather than reporting values because they are around and might be useful someday. When we have one or two CPUs we probably want to report and observe the stats for each processor independently. After all, there is an important difference between one saturated processor with the second idle, and both processors sorta' busy. But that rule doesn't continue when we move to higher core counts. We still want a little observability, but a number for each of a zillion cores is useless. Perhaps worse than useless, because each tool has to make its own decision about how to summarize the values before using them. A better solution is to have the reporting side summarize the values. Again the problem with XML and other extensible systems is that people use the flexibility to avoid thoughtful design. Sure, it's obvious how to just add a few more records when we go from two to four core per socket. And reporting system won't obviously break when we have 64 cores in each of 4 sockets. But it really just shifts the re-design work to the tools and applications. -- Donald Becker becker at scyld.com Penguin Computing / Scyld Software www.penguincomputing.com www.scyld.com Annapolis MD and San Francisco CA

Justin Rose landed in Philadelphia after flying from his family home in Orlando on Tuesday afternoon, with high hopes of landing the first major of his 15 year professional career.
This week's host, the East Course at Merion Golf Club celebrated its centenary last year and is hosting it's fifth U.S. Open. Characterised by narrow fairways, deep rough and distinct red wicker baskets in place of flags, it promises a stern test, despite wet conditions and further heavy rain forecast on Thursday.
Rose's comments are those of a player confident about his game and with the challenge presented by Merion this week. He told the Daily Telegraph; "I'm No. 1 in total driving this year and they always say that is crucial at the US Open."
Not only is total driving, a combination of distance and accuracy, important at Merion but so is accuracy with the longer irons, particularly with three of the four par 3 holes measuring over 236 yards. Rose ranks 5th in the PGA Tour on accuracy of approaches from between 225 yards and 250 yards.
Of equal importance this week will be player's proficiency with the wedges. Assuming players hit the fairway, there will be plenty of short, precise approach shots needed. Rose ranks 2nd in approaches from 50-125 yards on the PGA Tour, averaging 14ft 3 inches from the hole on each of those shots.
On the course itself, Rose says; "I like Merion; it reminds me of Walton Heath, Sunningdale, those sort of English courses. So it should suit me."
This piece of recognition by Rose is no coincidence; the designer of the East Course was a Scottish immigrant and member of the club named Hugh Wilson, who, having never designed a golf course before, undertook a seven month trip of England and Scotland to examine British courses.
Rose's form this season has been strong, without being spectacular - this can be attributed to his putting.
The PGA Tour's mysterious statistic "strokes gained – putting", a measurement that establishes a statistical baseline per hole and then determines whether a player lost or gained a stroke on that hole versus the rest of the field, ranks Rose 156th out of 183 players. However, the slower rain-soaked greens of Merion are likely to help his putting and allow for a more aggressive style.
With the forecast at Merion set to be very much English in kind, damp with heavy rain showers, even the weather looks to be in the Englishman's favour, don't be surprised if you see Justin Rose and Tiger Woods in the final group on Sunday, or Monday given the forecast, with Rose prevailing to lift his first major title at the age of 32.

Horford's big night powers Hawks past PistonsFeb 26, 2013 - 6:05 AM Atlanta Hawks to a 114-103 win over the Detroit Pistons on Monday.
Horford shot 10-of-13 from the field for the Hawks, who have won three straight games. Josh Smith also scored 23 points and Jeff Teague recorded a double-double with 20 points and 12 assists.
"Most importantly we got the win," said Horford. "I could've done all of that and I would've been upset because we lost. But I'm very happy, and yeah it is special; it's a 20-20 game and I acknowledge it. And I've wanted one of those all year and I finally got one, so I'm happy."
Rodney Stuckey and Jonas Jerebko scored 22 and 21 points, respectively, for the Pistons, who have lost three in a row. Greg Monroe registered 15 points, eight rebounds and five assists and Kyle Singler added 13 points.
Detroit had a 24-19 lead late in the first quarter, but an 8-0 run that started and ended with 3-pointers by Devin Harris gave the Hawks a 27-24 edge entering the second.
In the second, Atlanta pulled away and led 39-30 with 8 1/2 minutes to go, but a tip shot by Charlie Villanueva and a pair of layups by Stuckey brought Detroit within three, 39-36, with just over seven minutes remaining.
However, Teague scored 12 points in the remaining minutes, as the Hawks extended their lead 61-49, before a layup by Stuckey ended the half.
Horford recorded 13 points and 13 rebounds in the first half alone.
In the third, Atlanta increased its lead by as much as 26 points with 3:37 remaining, though Detroit had a 10-0 run over the next three minutes, capped with a 3-pointer by Jose Calderon, to cut the deficit to 86-70.
The Hawks' Anthony Tolliver fired a jumper with 19 seconds left to give Atlanta an 88-70 advantage entering the fourth.
Jerebko scored 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting in the fourth quarter and helped close the gap, but despite his performance, the game was already out of reach.
" We have to get back and put more into the game in order to get the desired result," Pistons head coach Lawrence Frank said.
Game Notes
Detroit's Will Bynum did not play as he was suspended for striking Indiana forward Tyler Hansbrough during Saturday's game against the Pacers ... Atlanta's Kyle Korver was 5-for-7 from behind the arc and has made a 3-pointer in 49 consecutive games ... The Hawks shot 55 percent from the field in each of the first three quarters, but shot just 36.8 percent in the fourth.

Red Dwarf Metallicities
A core prediction of the core accretion model for giant planet formation is that the frequency of readily detectable giant planets should increase with both increasing stellar metallicity and with increasing stellar mass:
It's now well established that the above diagram is zeroth-order correct, but until fairly recently, the conventional wisdom held that there is little evidence for a strong planet-metallicity correlation among the handful M-dwarf stars (for example, Gliese 876) that are known to harbor giant planets. One is then naturally led to speculate that the odd giant planets in a systems like Gliese 876 might be the outcome of gravitational instability rather than core accretion.
The profusion of molecular lines in the atmospheres of M dwarfs make it hard to determine their metallicities using the techniques of spectral synthesis that work well for hotter stars like the Sun. Fortunately, though, the red dwarfs' legendary stinginess provides another opportunity for assessing metallicity. Red dwarfs are so thrifty, and they evolve so slowly, that every single one that's ever formed has barely touched its store of hydrogen. With all the fuel gauges pegged to full, a critical parameter's worth of confusion is removed. Red dwarfs of a particular mass should form a well-defined one-parameter sequence in the Hertzsprung Russell diagram, and that parameter should be metallicity. If one can accurately plot a particular low-mass star on a color-magnitude diagram, then there should exist a unique and high-quality mapping to both the star's mass and its metallicity. Physically, an increase in metallicity leads to a higher photospheric opacity, which provides an effective layer of insulation for a star. Add metals to a red dwarf and it will move down and to the right in the Hertzsprung Russell diagram.
Because of the nightmarish complexity of red dwarf atmospheres, it's not easy to find the calibration that allows one to make the transformation between an observed absolute magnitude and color index (e.g. M_K and V-K) to the stellar mass and metallicity. In 2005, however, Xavier Bonfils and his collaborators made a breakthrough by employing a simple should've-thought-of-that-myself technique: Binary stars generally stem from a common molecular cloud core, and so the members of a binary pair should thus generally have very similar metallicities. In particular, if you measure the metallicity of an F, G, or K binary companion to an M-dwarf, then you can assume that the M-dwarf has the same metallicity. Do this often enough, and you can infer the lines of constant M-dwarf metallicity on a color-magnitude diagram. With the calibration in place, metallicity determinations for field red dwarfs are simply a matter of reading off the nearest iso-metallicity locus. Here's the key diagram from the Bonfils et al. paper:
The puzzling outcome of the Bonfils et al metallicity calibration was that the rare giant-planet bearing M-dwarfs such as Gliese 876 and Gliese 849 didn't appear to be particularly metal rich, and that worked to undermine confidence in the core accretion picture. One would naively expect that a low-mass disk will need all the help it can get in order to build giant planet cores before the gas is gone. If anything, the planet-metallicity correlation should be strongest among the M-dwarfs.
Important recent progress was made last year by John Johnson and Kevin Apps, who published a reevaluation of Bonfil et al's. isometallicity loci in the color-magnitude diagram. Johnson and Apps point out that application of the Bonfils et al. calibration produces an aggregate of local M-dwarf stars that have a significantly lower average metallicity than that for the local FGK stars. There's little reason to expect such a dichotomy, which implies that the Bonfils et al. correlation may be systematically underestimating metallicity by roughly a factor of two. No small potatoes!
Johnson and Apps adjusted the calibration to bring the metallicities of the local M dwarfs into line with the metallicities of the local FGK dwarfs. Here's a slightly adapted version of their key diagram:
With the revised calibration, Gliese 876 turns up with a metallicity twice that of the Sun, and there is excellent evidence that the planet-metallicity correlation holds strongly for the M dwarfs that harbor relatively massive planets. Furthermore, it's hard to argue with the two recent papers (one, two) from the California Planet Survey which report the detection of relatively massive planets orbiting two nearby M dwarfs, both of which have extremely high metallicities with the revised calibration.
The statistics are still small-number, but there's a strong hint that the planet-metallicity correlation for Neptune and sub-Neptune mass planets orbiting M-dwarfs is stronger than it appears to be at FGK (where it's effectively non-existent). Gliese 176, and Gliese 436, for example, are both quite metal-rich. I bet that a survey like Mearth could jack up its yield by shading its telescope visits to favor the high-metallicity stars on the observing list…
Indeed, if we plot Gliese 1214 (V=15.1±0.6, K=8.78±0.02, parallax=0.0772±0.0054", distance modulus=0.562±0.16) in comparison to the stars in the local volume, it looks like Gliese 1214 has of order twice solar metallicity if we adopt the nominal values for V,K and the distance. That's very intriguing…

O'Sullivan traded for Vandermeer
As per TSN site:
I like this deal. I didn't mind O'Sullivan, and it looks like his buyout is still going on, but Vandermeer is a serviceable d-man who has experience and is tough. Plus he makes 600k less. He will make it so that our younger D have more time in the AHL to get experience.
I like it. As Lowetide says, we just got an actual NHL'er.
Update: As i just read in the comments, Moreau has just been claimed by Columbus (details here) and cause I've just been perusing TSN, McKenzie says that Souray could be headed to St. Louis with Brewer coming back (details here).
Good for Moreau, as I've always been a fan and he gets to play this final year. I've always liked Howson too, so I bet he can get a good year out of him.
As for the Souray rumor…I don't mind it. Brewer can play, and while he is expensive he is a mil cheaper. If it works out it will be better than I expected on the return for Souray.
Tambellini is going to get a great off-season report card mark.

Saracens 3-22 Clermont Auvergne, Heineken Cup
McCall lays blame at salary cap's door

Saracens boss Mark McCall blamed the salary cap for the lack of English representation in the last four of the Heineken Cup.
Saracens crashed out of the Heineken Cup with a comprehensive 22-3 quarter-final defeat to the star-studded French giants Clermont Auvergne. For only the third time in the history of English clubs' involvement in the Heineken Cup there will be no Premiership representatives in the semi-finals.
Clermont will tackle Leinster and Ulster face Edinburgh for a place in the Twickenham final.
Exeter, Harlequins and Wasps, who are all required to operate within the Premiership's £4.2million salary cap, lost to French opposition in Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-finals this weekend. McCall said: "You could almost see the difference in the salary caps as you looked down on the pitch at various times today, there is no question about that.
"The squad they were able to bring is outstanding and the stats don't lie. It is getting increasingly difficult to get into the quarter-final stages. For England to have absolutely no involvement in the semi-finals of the Amlin or the Heineken Cup speaks for itself."
The French Top 14 operate a salary cap but it is far greater than that agreed by Premiership Rugby, the English clubs' umbrella body. Clermont coach Vern Cotter does not believe today's result, which saw his side overpower the Premiership champions, was down to the salary.
"There is a salary cap in France as well, it is probably slightly more elevated than it is here. I don't believe that was the reason for the result today," Cotter said.
McCall conceded that, on the day, his side had been distinctly second best as Clermont fly-half Brock James kicked 17 points while Lee Byrne scored the only try of the afternoon.
"Today we came up against an outstanding team who played a great game," McCall said. "I was a little bit surprised (how much more physical Clermont were than Saracens). This stage of the competition is a step up to what we are used to.
"Their team is star-studded and the internationals they brought off the bench, they were just too good for us today. They will be a very difficult team to beat. Their semi-final against Leinster will be tremendous."

My Husband is infected with HiV and im negative but im scared to death please read my question doctor im very nervios and sad
Mar 20, 2007
Hello there Doctor i thank god i found your web im very worry and kind of sad because HiV is very controversial i got married 3 months ago and well now we went to the doctor and ask for an HiV test he got positive and i got negative since we got married we used condoms but like 6 or 7 times we didnt my question is can i trust the results that im negative ? and if im negative can we have childrens ? and what kind of sexual live can and Hiv Can live with a negative person for Hiv ? can we kissed ? and have sex with condoms ? i really hope u can answer my questions because im very worry and scared to death just to think of that maybe we cannot have childrens we only have 24 yrs old and always dream to have a family thank you doctor god bless you .....
Response from Dr. Frascino
I'm sorry to hear about your husband's recent HIV diagnosis. However, HIV has been around for more than a quarter of a century. It really shouldn't be all that "controversial" anymore. In fact, it's been prevalent since before you were born! Consequently, there really is no reason you shouldn't be more informed and aware of HIV/AIDS as well as its prevention, testing and treatment! Your experience points out once again that our HIV awareness, education and prevention efforts are woefully inadequate. (Thank you, President Dubya and your ill-conceived anti-science, anti-common sense, abstinence-only sex-ed programs!)
To briefly respond to your questions, here is what I suggest:
1. Use latex condoms properly for all penetrative sex.
2. You will need a repeat HIV test at three months from your last potential exposure and, if still negative, another test at the six-month mark. If your six-month test is also negative, you can rest assured that you are definitively HIV negative.
3. Your husband needs to establish care with an HIV specialist without delay.
4. Both you and your husband should spend considerable time reviewing basic information about HIV, HIV prevention, HIV transmission, safer sexual practices and HIV treatments. A good place to begin this review is the information found under the "Quick Links" section on The Body's homepage. It includes chapters on "HIV Testing Basics," "Just Diagnosed" and "HIV Medications" among others. You should also review the information in the archives of this forum and on its related links.
5. Despite your husband's positive HIV status, you can still have children. However, to do so safely, you'll need the help of an HIV knowledgeable obstetrician. Special procedures, including sperm washing and in vitro fertilization, will be necessary to minimize any risk to you or your babies.
Don't be nervous and sad. Instead, become informed and proactive. HIV is not the end of the world. I've been HIV positive since January 1991!
Good luck to both you and your husband.
Dr. Bob

"By their affiliations, you shall know them" to restate a familiar biblical quote. Many genealogical experts urge us to look at the groups our ancestors joined to learn more about them. One of the potentially richest sources of information for genealogists is the church where our ancestor worshipped. The records created by churches sometimes include, and may go beyond, the sacramental records of baptism, communion, confirmation and marriage.
As I have mentioned before in this blog, serendipity along with the steady mining of information from a variety of sources can sometimes result in unexpected and amazing finds. Last year I became aware of the Chicago Genealogical Society On the CGS website, I clicked the publications tab and found the listing of the contents of copies of the quarterly journal of the Society, The Chicago Genealogist, going all the way back to 1969. But the best news of all is that the Newberry Library in Chicago has digitized all the copies of this journal.
It is a two-step process to find articles of interest in The Chicago Genealogist. First, you look at the list of articles on the CGS website. When you find an article of interest (be sure to note the date, volume, number), you search for it on the Newberry's digitized collection. From this page, you can click on "Advanced Search" at the top and search for the exact volume.
I made a list of several articles I wanted to read, including "Some Early Irish Residents of Chicago's West Side" in vol. XI #3 Spring 1979. When I located the article in the Newberry Library's collection, I was astonished to see what it actually was: "A list of contributors to the building of the main altar at Holy Family Catholic Church during the years 1863-65."
As I looked down the list of names of parishioners, I saw some of my target surnames (J. Carney, Patrick Kearney, J. Duffy), as well as names from their collateral families (Anthony Dinan, Bernard Cosgrove, John Cosgrove, T. Cosgrove).
This find was exciting because I had been stuck in my Irish paternal great great grandparents'generation: my great great grandfather John Carney/Kearney and my great great grandmother Mary Duffy. I had found little information about them. They are identified as my great grandmother's (Mary Carney/Kearney Kries Lauer) parents only on her second marriage application.
I have found mention of people in John's and Mary's close social circle (collateral families) on baptism records. Julia Mercer Cosgrove is listed as a baptismal sponsor for Patrick William Kearney, the son of John Kearney and Mary Duffy. In the next generation, Catherine Sweeney Brookins Dinan and her son, Charles Dinan, were baptismal sponsors for Henrietta Kries, the daughter of Mary Carney/Kearney Kries and Henry Kries.
With this list of altar contributors, I had moved back a generation. But there was more to be found in this journal article. At the very top of the first page, the transcriber, Thomas M. Cook, gave the source of this list: "…originally published in Holy Family Parish, by Bro. Thomas Mulkerins S.J., Universal Press, Chicago, 1923." And Cook even tells his reader where to find the book: "A copy of this book can be found in the collection of the University of Illinois, Chicago Circle Library."
Another caveat to researchers that genealogy experts put forward is that if at all possible, a researcher should always go back to the original source. You never know if mistakes were made by an indexer or transcriber or if information was left out. So I needed to consult Brother Mulkerins' book on the first parish of my Chicago ancestors.
University of Illinois Chicago Campus and searched for the book on the UIC library page. I found that there were two copies, one in Special Collections which was non-circulating and one in the stacks. I telephoned the library just to be sure the latter could be requested through Interlibrary Loan (ILL). Fortunately, I was able to obtain this treasure through my local library's ILL program.You can also read Holy Family Parish online at archive.org.
As I looked through the history of Holy Family Parish, I found several items of great interest to me that did not appear in the altar contributors' list; in fact, although that list was crucial for me to identify ancestral surnames and to tie them to later generations, there was so much more to learn about the church and the community it served:
- What the land around Holy Family Parish looked like when the church was built in 1857.
- Why so many parishioners were included as contributors to the altar society drive.
- What the neighborhood was like – what kinds of commercial establishments lined the streets.
When Father Arnold Damen began work on building Holy Family Church in 1857, this is what the area looked like, according to Father Mulkerins:
"…the territory allotted to the parish was a prairie during part of the year and a swamp during another with scarcely a structure worthy of the name of house in the entire parish, and only a few scattered cabins here and there."1
But it seems that things certainly changed once the church was built:
"Even in those early days it had already become a matter of quite general knowledge that the establishment of a Catholic Church…generally had the effect of drawing people to the vicinity….In an incredibly short time there were numerous families living near the site of the church, and there were numerous additions to the industrial plants." 2 And why was this?
"…wise business men knew well that amongst the Catholic population…there would be many who would make suitable employees."3
The second fact that I learned from reading Holy Family Parish was about the altar society contributors' list itself. There were about 800 names on the list but most of the donations were only $1.00. What was this all about? Well, it seems that Father Damen preferred to make sure everyone in the parish could enjoy the blessings that came from contributing to the building of the new altar. He and his assistants went door-to-door to see that no one was overlooked. And in addition to the heavenly blessing that a donor would receive, Father Damen added as a further inducement that "each donor was to have his or her name engrossed on parchment and placed under the altar."4
The third piece of information I gleaned from Mulkerins' history of Holy Family Parish is perhaps the most important. The book actually could serve as a "Fodor's Guide" to Chicago's Near West Side in the nineteenth century. We learn first about one of the hallmarks of poverty that still exists today: stores that sell alcohol abound in poor neighborhoods:
"Many of the grocery stores in the early days and up to the eighties (1880s), were a sort of combination of saloon and grocery….The grocery stores were very numerous everywhere in those times, and there were no department stores then as now….They were very numerous, sometimes two, three or even four on the corners of intersecting streets and possibly a few more within the block."5

Yes, Holy Family Parish was a magnificent discovery. I learned that before my great grandparents attended St. Patrick's Church, their parents were members of Holy Family Parish. I had the opportunity, one that is so often out of reach to genealogists, to "tour" the neighborhood where my people lived, shopped, worked and worshipped.

The Eagles have distributed their first unofficial depth chart of the preseason. Coach Chip Kelly kindly requests that you ignore it.
Kelly said the Eagles put out a depth chart only because the NFL asks every team to do it, and that the order of the players on the chart has no bearing on how the coaching staff actually plans to allocate playing time.
"Seriously, the depth chart, I don't care," Kelly said. "I think [Eagles PR Director] Derek [Boyko] did it. I mean, it's absolutely nothing. I know we're going to get questions on it, and I'll be honest with you, I do not care. . . . I said a long time ago, it's written in sand, it's written in water, it can be written in anything. That depth chart means absolutely nothing. The only reason we make one is because they tell us to make one. Call it whatever you want to call it."
Kelly's opinion of depth charts is similar to his opinion of the NFL draft. Fans may be interested in it, but Kelly thinks it's much ado about nothing.

text: IN THE 1930s, the Marx Brothers took political satire seriously enough to make a comedy about imperialism. Duck Soup stands today as one of the most comforting movie antidotes to the depressing post-9/11, enemy-until-proven-friend political culture. The 1960s saw Stanley Kubrick upgrade the cinematic presentation of war into Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb—employing the Screwtapian dictum that if the devil cannot bear to be mocked, then the best way to reveal the horror of war is to laugh at it. A decade later, Mel Brooks attacked—and transcended—white supremacy in Blazing Saddles, a film whose coruscating offensiveness is merely a mirror to our own prejudices. Sacha Baron Cohen is the evident successor to the Marxes, Kubrick the comic satirist, and Brooks. (Some of Michael Moore's work, and both Armando Iannucci's In the Loop and Chris Morris' Four Lions, deserve attention in this light too.)

55. Dan Hudson, RHP, White Sox
Opening Day: Triple-A Charlotte. After going from Low-A to the big leagues last year, Hudson will get consistent innings at Triple-A, and he's first in line to get called up should injuries or poor performance necessitate a move.
61. Jared Mitchell, OF, White Sox
Opening Day: Disabled List. In one of the most disappointing developments of the spring, Mitchell tore up his ankle leaping into the wall while trying to catch a fly ball and will miss the entire season after major surgery.
72. Tyler Flowers, C, White Sox
Opening Day: Triple-A Charlotte. Still in line to be the regular catcher next year, Flowers should get some second-half big-league time to settle into the role.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Earlier this year, following a winter of good rainfall, Israel's Water Authority declared that the crippling seven-year drought had come to an end. Nevertheless, officials continued to caution water conservation. Now, it would appear Israel might have too much water.
With another winter of predicted average-to-good rainfall ahead, Water Authority officials believe the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) could overfill.
So concerned are they by this possibility that two weeks ago the Water Authority tested the Degania Dam that sends water from the Kinneret into the Jordan River. The dam had not been opened since the winter of 1992, when Israel received nearly double the average annual rainfall.
While this might sound more like a blessing than a problem, government officials are concerned about what it will mean for the newly opened desalination plants along Israel's Mediterranean coast.
In short, the plants will be asked to produce less water this year than they are able to provide. And that means smaller profits. All of this was built into the state's contracts with the desalination plants, but that doesn't mean everyone is happy with the situation.
Regardless, Water Authority officials told Israel's Globes newspaper that the desalination plants were established as a kind of fail-safe to keep Israel from drying up in future droughts. And, according to experts, an even more severe drought than the previous is expected to hit the region in 2015, or shortly thereafter.
"Even if the plants don't work at full capacity in the coming year, we will soon definitely need their output," said Water Authority officials. "The Israeli economy has a structural water shortage, and one rainy year does create a new reality."
In the meantime, the Israeli taxpayers will pay the desalination plants an estimated 160 million shekels ($45 million dollars) for clean water not produced.
As difficult as that prospect might sound, "it is cheaper to pump water from natural sources than to buy water from the desalination plants at full rates," concluded the Water Authority.
