We begin by displaying some of the atomic rates which are notable due to their departure from previous work, or to their effects on the model results. Figure 1 shows the ground state photoionization cross sections we adopt. Each panel contains the cross sections for a given element, with various curves for the respective ions. In most cases the various subshells of a given ion are also plotted as separate non-overlapping curves. Resonance structure near threshold of outer shells is apparent, particularly in ions with Z10. The photoionization cross sections from many excited levels also show resonance structure. This is illustrated in Figure 2, which shows a few of the excited level cross sections for O VII. Notable are the resonance features near 650 eV, corresponding to the 1-2 transitions in the O VIII ion. Although cross sections with comparable resolution are available for many ions from the opacity project, we adopt Gaussian average fits to these for the great majority of excited levels. For O VII we include all available cross sections at high resolution for ground and excited levels with principle quantum number 4 in order to illustrate the potential importance of the resonance structures in observed spectra.
Ground state collisional ionization rate coefficients are shown in Figure 3. Each panel contains the rates for a given element as a function of temperature.
Figure 4 shows the radiative recombination rates we adopt. We emphasize that these are calculated by performing a Milne integral (equation 3) over the photoionization cross section for each of the bound levels of the recombined ion, and then summing over those rates. This is in contrast to the more typical nebular treatment in which such a sum is fit to an analytic formula as was done by, e.g. [Aldrovandi and Pequignot 1973], and has the advantage that it causes all rates to go to detailed balance ratios in the proper limit. Each panel in Figure 4 contains the rates for a given element. Also shown, as the dashed curves, are the rates adopted in XSTAR v.1, i.e. those of [Gould and Thakur 1970] (hydrogenic ions) [Arnaud and Raymond 1992] (for iron), and [Aldrovandi and Pequignot 1973] (all others). Differences are prominent for elements such as C, O, and Fe, and primarily reflect differences between the previous dielectronic recombination rates and those adopted here (e.g. [Nahar 2000] and references therein).

Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of an acrylic print. Your image gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4" thick sheet of clear acrylic.
The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that!
All acrylic prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2).
The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print.
Option #1 (Mounting Posts) - Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts. The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall. When you're finished, simply reattached each cap, and you're done. The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1". All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print. Click here for mounting details.
Option #2 (Hanging Wire) - With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4" thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back. There are no metal mounting posts at the corners. Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you're done. Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50" Click here for mounting details.

We mentioned earlier the rash of injuries the Giants are dealing with on the defensive line.
One of them has already been confirmed to be a big one.
Defensive tackle Shaun Rogers will be out for the season after being diagnosed with a blood clot in his leg, per Mike Garafolo of the Newark Star-Ledger.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin expressed regret, saying Rogers had lost 50 pounds to get himself in shape for camp.
They're still waiting to hear word on defensive tackle Marvin Austin, who was sent back to New York early to get his back checked.
Rogers, a 12-year veteran, was kicked in the leg in Friday's preseason game, and was sent to see specialists including a vascular surgeon.
The Giants lost offensive lineman Stacy Andrews to a blood clot last year as well.
The Giants are going to be in the market for defensive tackle help soon, and what was once a strength is getting thinner by the minute.

A recent article called Structural Folds: Generative Disruption in Overlapping Groups , by Balazs Vedres and David Stark is chock full of important research on innovation, collaboration and networks.
Vedres and Stark studied relationships among businesses in Hungary over the last 20 years. In contrast to Ron Burt's concept of structural holes, they explore the concept of structural folds.
The concept of structural holes describes how individuals who span two different clusters or groups can become powerful by brokering the relationships and information flow across the clusters. Managers who span structural holes often move quickly up the corporate ladder.
Using the concept of structural folds, Vedres and Stark argue that moving ideas from one cluster or group to another is not enough to spawn innovation. Groups need to overlap. They need to recombine and do something together to generate innovation that leads to growth. However, this overlap is often disruptive, and can lead to disintegration of the groups.
The trick is to move to another level, looking at the whole set of groups as part of a larger network. Then you can see that the larger network has some stability over time – individuals or businesses continue to be part of this larger network, but are recombining with others in different configurations over time. This looks disruptive, but is actually the source of much creativity and growth. The larger network, meanwhile builds a culture of collaboration that encourages and supports even more collaboration.
These ideas are very compatible with our Smart Network model. A Smart Network has a core of overlapping clusters. Clusters could be different organizational types (such as entrepreneurs, non-profits and foundations), different geographies, different business sectors, etc. In most Smart Networks, people are recombining through self-organized, collaborative projects. Vedres and Stark remind us that it's important that these projects contain at least several people who have worked together before, but that including new faces from different clusters is likely to increase the success and growth of the project.

Thanks Nigel - I corrected. What do you think of the article?
- Maxhamea said...
Great post. I particularly appreciate your looking at the network scale issue. I found the original article grated on my brain a bit. Your looking at the structural folds within a larger scale network clarified this. I can see how structural folds could become the structural fault lines/structural gatekeepers. Thank you for this.

EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition 1
This gallery is also available as a post in the Five Apps Blog.
Most of us probably have rather large hard disks or SSDs at our disposal. If you like to work with multiple operating systems or need a better way to segregate the storage of data, like separate partitions for media files and apps for instance, it's important to use a tool that can perform the task of slicing up a disk easily and safely. Although all Windows versions since Vista come with a basic, built-in partition manager, it still might be too simple or limiting for some tasks. For today's Five Apps blog entry, we will be looking at five excellent freeware partition editors that should serve as effective replacements for Microsoft's implementation.
Five Apps
1. EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition
This product not only has the distinction of being a user-friendly partition manager for Windows, but EaseUS throws in a few handy extras, such as basic file recovery as well as backup and restore abilities. There are also tutorials to help guide a user along with the proper instructions on what you need to do for effective partitioning. The user interface is clean and there aren't any nagging popups, begging you to upgrade to a paid version.

No one wants to see TAR go away, so how can we make sure that this thread is seen by someone in production? Do we think that it is already being viewed by production?
We need to go back to the pre-TAR15 era. With the exception of 18 and 21 IMO, the better seasons all fall before TAR15, best casts, better suspense, simple, jaw dropping, just plain amazing. We have lost that 'amazing' factor just a teeny bit to what it was. I'm sure TAR will get going again and with next season it looks like it is going to be great.
Quote from: ranger1010 on December 03, 2013, 10:48:27 PMJust out of curiosity, has TAR ever had a season with teams consisting of a returning racer and a different partner? For the life of me, I can't remember. Like, there have only been 2 seasons with returning players... In TAR11 Eric & Danielle were cast, remember? They both had different partners in their original season.

Contends county needs to keep technology center
To the editor:
On the possible closing of Mifflin Juniata Career and Technology Center:
I think that people forget that there are also adult students who attend MJCTC. As a matter of fact, most of the LPNs who are employed in this area are graduates of the Practical Nursing Program at MJCTC.
I am a current PN student about to graduate from this program and I am appalled at how our program is not even mentioned in any of the articles that are written about this subject matter. This program enables people to make something out of themselves.
In a town like Mifflin County there aren't many opportunities for people to receive a higher education. If they do close this school I think it would be a great disservice to our county.

Blame Selena for all of us Justin's problems
Oh good. It's time for our favourite excuse: blame the bitch for everything.
Justin Bieber's been behaving badly the last few weeks. He shows up late for his shows. He baby-fights the paps. He allegedly drives up and down recklessly on his street and spits in neighbour's faces when they come to complain.
You know what though?
It's really not his fault.
Justin isn't a privileged punk. Justin's not a selfish little prick. Justin is definitely not yet another indulged child star out of control and full of his own sh-t.
Justin is simply just...
"Sources" tell TMZ that:
Justin was "torn apart" when Selena pulled the plug on their relationship in December, when she walked out on him in the middle of their Mexico vacation. We're told Justin feels "tortured," because Selena has not made a clean break -- far from it. We're told she is regularly calling him and sending him mixed messages, and it's been messing with his head.
Way to make him accountable for his actions. Way to absolve the male in the situation of his mistakes, especially when there's a female around to sell out. But this is encouraging, non? Especially for those of you raising daughters?
Here's JB in the new of Teen Vogue, in which he compares himself to Jay-Z and reminds us that when he does this...
...it's really only because he's serving a higher purpose:
"I think that's part of the reason I'm here. Not just because I'm talented, but because God had a purpose for me to just help people. I'm spiritual ... although I slept in [and missed] church yesterday. I haven't been to church in so long, and I planned on going, and I slept in. I was upset. It's all good. God forgives me."
When did forgiveness become such an easy fallback? Maybe if he spent more time beating himself up over his mistakes, he'd make less of them.

Recycled waste water to be used for irrigation
Seattle Times Eastside Bureau
Golf fairways and farms in the green Sammamish River Valley could soon be irrigated with recycled waste water instead of taking fresh water out of the salmon-bearing river nearby.
King County Executive Ron Sims yesterday announced plans to build a small sewage-treatment plant in the valley by 2003 and a smaller test project this summer.
Sewage from a large pipeline in the valley would be diverted into the new plant, where solids and water would be separated. The solids would be reinserted into the pipeline and complete their trip to the county's regional treatment plants. At least 3 million gallons of treated water per day could be piped or trucked to nearby lands.
Sims called the end product "a new, drought-proof supply of water."
The county is negotiating with potential users, including the Willows Run Golf Course, Molbak's, FARM (Farm Acquisition, Research and Management) and other local farmers.
County officials say reclaimed water will meet state Health and Ecology department "class A" standards, clean enough to be applied on crops.
FARM manager Roger Calhoon said he needs more information before deciding whether to apply recycled water to cherries, corn, pumpkins, apples and other produce.
"I'm concerned not just about microbial contamination but organics, fertilizers, heavy metals coming through," he said.
Among other treatment steps, a membrane will screen out contaminants "at the molecular level," said Tom Fox, the county's water-reclamation manager.
Recycled water is routinely used on California farms and on Walla Walla sweet onions, said Washington state Department of Ecology spokeswoman Mary Getchell.
"You probably eat food every day that was grown with reclaimed water," she said.
The recycling plant, at $20 million and half the size of a soccer field, is intended to reduce the valley's consumption of Sammamish River water and valley ground water by one-third or more.
The test project will be next to the river at Northeast 124th Street between Redmond and Woodinville. A site for the larger facility hasn't been chosen.

Yale Edges Loyola, Ill., 3-2; Blanks La Salle 8-0
KISSIMMEE, Fla. – The 2011 season is off to a strong start for the Yale softball team. The Bulldogs banged out 13 hits and scored 11 runs in a pair of victories at the Rebel Games. Christy Nelson's two-run triple in the fifth inning was the game-winning hit in Yale's 3-2 victory over Loyola, Ill. Nelson then belted a three-run home run, and McKynlee Westman added a two-run single as the Bulldogs cruised to an 8-0 victory over La Salle.
Against Loyola, Yale trailed 2-1 entering the bottom of the fifth inning. Westman started the two-run rally with a single. Virginia Waldrop then put down a bunt in front of the plate. Loyola catcher Jenna Grim tried for the out at second but her throw went into centerfield. Three batters later, Nelson gave the Bulldogs the lead with her triple to the left-field fence.
Freshman Kristen Leung pitched three innings of scoreless relief to earn the victory. Jackie Manzer started the circle and struck out two in four innings.
Both Manzer and Leung were the beneficiaries of some outstanding defense. Waldrop made a diving catch to rob Carly Benford of a hit in the second inning, and the Bulldogs threw out two runners at plate who were trying to score on infield hits.
Jacqueline Grim gave Loyola (5-5) the lead when she homered to centerfield in the second.
The Bulldogs (2-0) tied it in the third when Waldrop singled and later scored on Katie Yanagisawa's sacrifice fly to right field.
Freshman Tori Balta, Mariclaire Rebman and Meg Johnson also had hits in the game for Yale.
The Bulldogs wasted no time getting on the board against La Salle (2-6). Jennifer Ong led off the game with a single to left. After Yanagisawa reached on an error, Nelson hit a towering blast over the left-field fence. It was her fifth career home run.
Yale added another run in the second. Kelsey Warkentine walked and scored on Waldrop's double to the right-field gap.
A four-run third inning capped the scoring. Westman's two-run single up the middle, and RBI singles by Ong and Warkentine highlighted the outburst.
A pair of freshmen combined on the shutout. Chelsey Dunham went the first four innings, allowing only one hit, while striking out five. Alex Lucas pitched a perfect fifth inning.
Yale was again sharp defensively. Chelsey Locarno made a terrific running catch against the fence in the third inning to keep the Explorers off the board.
The game ended after five innings due to the mercy rule.
The Bulldogs are back in action on Wednesday with a pair of games. They play Florida A&M at 1 p.m. followed by Eastern Kentucky at 3 p.m.

True confessions: Deep secrets of Charlottesville's newsmakers
Debbie Ryan's career as UVA women's basketball coach was nearly cut short 25 years ago when she brought beer on the team bus. "That was a very poor idea on my part," she says in retrospect.
Brad Chandler may be famous as the tough Franklin Chandler & O'Bryan litigator, but he has a soft spot: for Goofy of Walt Disney movie fame.
What do former city councilor David Toscano and Virginia Film Festival director Richard Herskowitz have in common? Both say they were arrested for anti-Vietnam war demonstrations.
Not too surprisingly, the favorite TV show of politico types like Toscano, Meredith Richards, and Mitch Van Yahres is West Wing.
Although he denies he's a treehugger, Mayor Maurice Cox confesses that people may be surprised to know he doesn't have a driver's license. Hmmmm.
Poet Laureate and UVA professor emeritus George Garrett admits people find his "buoyant cheerfulness" annoying. Santa has the same problem with his ho-ho-hos.
Bill Clinton wasn't the only one who had problems with Paula Jones. Rutherford Institute founder John Whitehead says taking her lawsuit against Clinton was the worst trouble he ever got in.
It was his father who got him interested in politics, and it was his father who was responsible for Congressman Virgil Goode's most embarrassing moment. When faced with bad seats at a political rally, Goode Sr. yelled out, "They're not honoring the seat numbers. It's every man for himself," and dragged a red-faced young Virgil to a better spot.
Rita Mae Brown's most embarrassing moment also involved a parent: the mother whose Christian name Brown forgot at Cotillion, a mere day after she'd made her mom a cat-food sandwich loaded with mayo, pickles, and lettuce.
Winemaker Patricia Kluge is the only Hot Seat candidate whose most embarrassing moment took place while bending before the Queen of England. "Something happened as I curtsied," says Kluge. Don't worry; it was just a muddy knee.
After the Hot Seat on Charlottesville Police Chief Tim Longo revealed that the town's tough-looking chief goes by "Timmy," another startling revelation came out: Longo used to sport what a former Baltimore coworker calls a "Desi Arnez" hairdo. Longo responds to a request for pictures with, "How much are they worth?"
Here are two images we don't normally have of Board of Supervisors chair Sally Thomas: Driving the bright yellow Corvette she used to own, and giving birth unexpectedly at home.
Who would guess that UVA football legend and winningest coach George Welsh has a thing for Russian literature?
Even more surprising, apparently 50-year-old pundit Larry Sabato is a little sensitive about growing old. We could tell when he answered the question about his age with "none of your damn business" before finally fessing up. Or maybe it was his excitement over cryogenics.
Delegate Mitch Van Yahres contributed the funniest embarrassing moment: "When my lightning rod business was hit by lightning and destroyed."
Retired judge Steve Helvin acknowledges that he annoys people in a way that is unique to the judiciary: "I find a lot of them guilty."
When NAACP chairman and civil rights legend Julian Bond said that "the pathetic, vapid state of journalism" is one of the subjects that make him rant, we didn't take it personally. How else is the world going to know that his hosting of Saturday Night Live led to an encounter with O.J. Simpson? And Bond's favorite bumper sticker, the one given out at friend's first wedding that said "Honk If You've Been Married To " was one of our favorites, too.

SACRAMENTO, California (Reuters) - Food stamp recipients in 17 states lost access to the electronic system used by stores to verify their benefits on Saturday, leaving many unable to buy groceries, the company that manages the system said.
People enrolled in the government food assistance program use plastic vouchers similar to debit cards. Starting at about 11 a.m. EDT (1500 GMT), some of those cards stopped working, Xerox spokesman Kevin Lightfoot said.
A power outage that started the problem was fixed within 20 minutes, Lightfoot said, but shoppers continued to run into difficulties throughout the day. By early evening, the problem still had not been fixed.
Edlyn Bautista, assistant manager at the Food Basics supermarket in Belleville, New Jersey, said many customers abandoned their groceries in frustration.
"A lot of carts were left behind," Bautista said. "The store is empty."
At the Pathmark grocery in Newark, New Jersey, workers had to reshelve perishable items after customers walked away, according to store officials.
"Initially the customers were leaving carriages in the aisle because we couldn't give them a timetable," said a store manager who asked not to be identified. "It's been an all-day thing."
The glitch was unrelated to the partial federal government shutdown that began on October 1, Lightfoot said, adding that it was not unclear how many beneficiaries were affected.
The breakdown involved the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and the Women, Infants and Children program.
In most states, retailers can get permission to issue emergency paper vouchers that allow people to buy food. But some states limit the value of those vouchers, Lightfoot said.
For example, beneficiaries in Ohio can buy no more than $50 of groceries on an emergency voucher, he said.
States experiencing problems included Alabama, California, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois,Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, Ohio,Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia, Lightfoot said.

Our Friend Might Have Anorexia. How Can We Help?
Some people at school are worried because we think our friend has anorexia.
Is there anything we can do for her?
– Dionne*
It's a great idea to eat healthy and stay in shape, but when it goes to an unhealthy or extreme level, a person might be developing an eating disorder. Although many people are unhappy with their weight, someone who starts to do things that are emotionally or physically dangerous in order to lose weight may have an eating disorder.
Signs of an eating disorder can include:
- moving food around on the plate instead of eating it
- compulsive exercising (including over-exercising, exercising when injured, secret exercising)
- always going to the bathroom right after eating
- drastic weight loss
- eating a lot, often uncontrollably
- fear of gaining weight
- constantly talking about weight and food
- not getting menstrual periods
- eating only in private
- preoccupation with calorie counting and nutritional information
People with eating disorders need help or they can get very sick. Try talking with your friend and expressing your concern. Sometimes this can help — other times, people are in denial or are afraid they'll be talked in to gaining weight. Encourage your friend to talk to a parent, counselor, or doctor about getting help. If your friend doesn't get help, you may need to talk to your parents, school guidance counselor, or nurse.

Ron and Staci Muse's Western New York vacation included the usual tourist attractions - Niagara Falls, the casinos ... and the AT&T store.
The Bakersfield, Calif., couple has purchased every version of the popular iPad and iPhone on the day they debuted in stores. Friday, even while on vacation, they kept that tradition going with the release of the iPhone 5.
"We like the challenge of technology," said Staci Muse, 45. "And we have a reputation to keep up. We're the couple that always has the latest Apple products."
They joined hundreds of Western New Yorkers at Walden Galleria early Friday morning as they waited patiently in lines of varying lengths at the Apple Store and cellphone providers' stores and kiosks.
"It was worth the wait," said Mike Kiezbak, with his new iPhone 5 in hand, after waiting eight hours. To buy his fourth iPhone, Kiezbak, 26, and two friends got to the mall at midnight with their lawn chairs.
"It was a fun experience," the Buffalo resident said.
Apple's latest smartphone boasts many upgrades, like a faster processor, a bigger screen, 4G LTE wireless connections and slimmer and lighter frame. The handset has become a hot seller despite a new map app that early users have deemed inferior to Google Maps, the software it replaces. With a new wireless contract, the device costs $199, $299 or $399 in the U.S., depending on the amount of memory.
Apple received 2 million orders in the first 24 hours of announcing its release date, more than twice the number for the iPhone 4S in the same period when that phone launched a year ago. Analysts have estimated Apple will ship as many as 10 million of the new iPhones by the end of September.
"This is exciting," said Vanessa Wiltberger, a 25-year-old Cheektowaga resident. She'd had the iPhone 4, which is slower and lacks many of the features on the new phone.
"I want a black one, and it's going be faster and better than the one I have now," she said waiting at the Verizon Wireless kiosk at Galleria.
Many had tried pre-ordering online, but it was sold out.
Although Stacie Muse had successfully pre-ordered a Verizon Wireless iPhone 5, she said she needed to buy an AT&T model, too. Yes, she will have two of the same phones with different service providers.
"We just love Apple products. Everything we have is Apple," she said. "I'm so familiar with the products, I could be a salesperson for Apple."
Kiezbak said the crowd outside the mall grew from a few at midnight to about 40 by 2 a.m.; it swelled even more by sunrise. The mall opens at 6 a.m., and that's when Trevor Maclin, a 21-year-old Cheektowaga resident, arrived to buy his very first iPhone. Maclin's iPod had broken, and he had an outdated flip-style phone, so he decided to replace both devices with the iPhone 5.
"I'm really excited; I'm just bottling it up right now," the UB student said. "It's the newest, the latest thing."
Kathy Scaccia, a Lancaster nurse, headed to the Apple Store right after work to buy two phones to give as Christmas, birthday and graduation gifts to her adult children. She was in line by 7 a.m.
"I knew the line would be long, and I know they've got a limited supply and they could sell out," she said. "My children will be excited. This way they'll be able to keep up with the 21st century."
The Apple Store, which had the largest supply of phones, attracted the biggest crowd. The line wrapped around the store when it opened at 8 a.m. Employees handed out coffee and water. Consumers had the option of purchasing their smartphones at the store or from their cellphone service provider.
"I went to Apple first, but I wasn't going to wait two hours in line," said Kyle Tolbert, a 23-year-old Buffalo resident. So he went upstairs to the AT&T store, where the line was considerably shorter. He was behind the Muses, who beamed with excitement as they got closer to making their purchases.
After 3½ hours of waiting, Maclin was near the entrance of the Apple Store.
"I'm almost there," he said. "It's a long wait, but it's really not that bad. It's not as bad as some of the lines for Black Friday."
After almost three hours and stopping at three locations, Wiltberger was also closer to purchasing her smartphone. At 9:30 a.m., she was second in line at the Verizon Wireless kiosk. She had first stopped at the Verizon Wireless store on Walden Avenue at 6:45 a.m. After an hour of waiting, she learned the store had sold out of the 16G phone. She then went to the Apple Store, but it was out of the Verizon models. So she then she went to the kiosk.
"I just didn't want to wait to buy it," the 23-year-old said. "If I didn't get it today, I'd have to wait until the middle of next month."?

I thought looking at the Hirabayashi v. United States case might serve as a strong reminder of the questionable decisions the United States has historically made during times of war. The Hirabayshi case, which you can learn about below, was overturned in 1987. This excerpt was found using Oxford Reference Online and originally appeared in The Oxford Guide to United States Supreme Court Decisions.
Hirabayashi v. United States, 320 U.S. 81 (1943), argued 10 and 11 May 1943, decided 21 June 1943 by vote of 9 to 0; Stone for the Court, Douglas and Murphy concurring in separate opinions with the result; Rutledge concurring in a separate opinion with the Court's opinion.
At the beginning of World War II officials expressed concern about the presence of approximately 112,000 Japanese-Americans on the West Coast. At the urging of General John L. DeWitt of the Western Defense Command and numerous state and national officials, President Franklin D. Roosevelt on 19 February 1942 signed Executive Order no. 9066, empowering the secretary of war to create "military areas" from which civilians might be excluded. On 18 March Roosevelt established the War Relocation Authority for the purpose of interning all West Coast Japanese-Americans. Congress unanimously passed legislation implementing these executive orders.
General DeWitt subsequently imposed an 8:00 P.M. to 6:00 A.M. curfew for West Coast Japanese-Americans, prohibited Japanese-Americans from moving out of his defense command, and then prohibited Japanese-Americans from remaining within his command. They could neither leave their homes nor stay in them; instead they had to report to civilian control, or assembly, centers. From these centers the Japanese-Americans were evacuated to "relocation camps," where most remained until 1945.
Gordon Hirabayashi, an American-born citizen of Japanese ancestry and a senior at the University of Washington, intentionally violated the curfew and the order to report to a civilian control center. Hirabayashi believed if he obeyed the curfew and exclusion orders "he would be waiving his rights as an American citizen"(p. 81). Convicted on both counts, the court sentenced him to concurrent three-month sentences. On appeal the Supreme Court upheld the conviction for the curfew violation, and because of the concurrent sentences, refused to consider the constitutionality of the order to report to the assembly center.
Speaking for the Court, Chief Justice Harlan F. Stone argued that Congress and the president could constitutionally impose a curfew under the "power to wage war successfully"(p. 93). The big question, however, was whether Japanese-Americans, as a group, could be singled out for the curfew.
Stone noted that Japanese immigrants were ineligible for United States citizenship, that under Japanese law American-born children of Japanese immigrants were considered to be citizens of Japan and that "social, economic and political conditions" in the nation had "in large measure prevented their assimilation as an integral part of the white population"(p. 96). He pointed out that large numbers of Japanese-American children had been "sent to Japanese language schools" and that some of these schools were "generally believed to be sources of Japanese nationalistic propaganda …"(p. 97). There had, Stone observed "been relatively little social intercourse between them and the white population"(p. 98).
Stone felt "Congress and the Executive could reasonably have concluded that these conditions have encouraged the continued attachment of members of this group to Japan and Japanese institutions" and that "those charged with … the national defense" could "take into account" these factors in "determining the nature and extent of the danger of espionage and sabotage, in the event of an invasion or air raid attack"(pp. 98–99). The Court could not "reject as unfounded" the military and congressional judgment "that there were disloyal members of that population, whose number and strength could not be precisely and quickly ascertained"(p. 99).
Stone agreed that "racial discriminations are in most circumstances irrelevant" but argued that "in dealing with the perils of war, Congress and the Executive" could take "into account those facts which are relevant to measures for our national defense … which may in fact place citizens of one ancestry in a different category from others"(p. 100). In upholding the curfew, Stone specifically declared that the Court was not considering whether more drastic measures would be permissible.
Although a unanimous decision, Justices William O. Douglas, Wiley Rutledge, and Frank Murphy qualified their support and sought to narrow the scope of the decision. Murphy's concurrence reads more like a dissent. He noted that this was "the first time" the court had ever "sustained a substantial restriction of the personal liberty of citizens of the United States based on the accident of race or ancestry."Murphy believed the internment bore "a melancholy resemblance to the treatment accorded to members of the Jewish race in Germany and in other parts of Europe" and went "to the very brink of constitutional power" (p. 111).

Actor Channing Tatum is still waiting for his "21 Jump Street" co-star Jonah Hill to honor a naughty bet they made two years ago about the box office success of their comedy remake.
Tatum previously revealed the cheeky pair had put wagers on how well the 2012 movie would do in its opening weekend at the North American box office, with Hill predicting the film would just surpass the $30 million mark.
He agreed to kiss Tatum's penis, through his boxer shorts, if the film grossed more than $35 million, and he was left facing the saucy task after "21 Jump Street" debuted with $36 million.
However, Tatum claims the Oscar nominee has yet to make good on the bet.
He to Conan O'Brien, "Jonah thought that it was just gonna break $30 (million) and I thought it was gonna break $35 (million). And he said, 'If it breaks $35 (million), I will kiss the tip of your d—… (through his boxers).'
"The real key is that I won that bet… It hasn't happened yet."
Tatum even offered Hill the chance to save himself from having to follow through with the raunchy bet by giving him the opportunity to "double down on it" by predicting the first North American box office take of their new sequel, "22 Jump Street" – but Hill refused.
Hill quips, "My gambling career has come to an abrupt end."

Latest News
Even before Syria deal, Egypt was renewing its relationship with Russia
Whether a proposed Russian deal to dismantle Syria's chemical weapons as an alternative to a U.S. missile strike actually works or not, Russia already has emerged as a winner among many Egyptians.
For them, the deal is a reminder that there's a former ally that can solve the region's problems peacefully without the tarnish of a failed intervention in Iraq, failed Palestinian-Israeli peace talks, reviled alliances with fallen regimes or the perception that it has treated the region as its lapdog.
Even before the proposed chemical weapons deal, Egypt, the Arab world's most populous nation, was seeking to build stronger relations with Russia – and move away from the United States. While U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry suggested in his congressional testimony earlier this month that the Arab world is watching what the U.S. does in Syria, it's what Russia is doing that's shifting alliances in the region.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy visited Russia this week, in part to thank Russians for their intervention in Syria and to discuss new ways to expand Egyptian-Russian relations. Fahmy said he hoped the Russian deal would eventually lead to ridding the world of chemical and nuclear "without exception or discrimination," a clear reference to Israel, the United States' most important Middle East ally and a country suspected of having both chemical and nuclear weapons.
The Egyptian government's moves to bolster relations with Russia have the backing of a majority of Egyptians, who are angry over the United States' perceived support for ousted Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, its threats to cut off $1.5 billion in military aid and the instability that U.S. military intervention – and threats of intervention – have had in the region, of which neighboring Libya is the nearest example.
Nearly every day, newspaper columns outline the many ways the United States has failed the region and how Russia, China and India could offer a new economic breakthrough. The United States is weaker, they argue, Russia is more aligned with Egypt and willing to help finance much-needed economic projects.
"Egypt should end the shame of the toxic American and European aid, and declare once and for all that it does not need it. It should focus on financial and economic cooperation with sister Arab countries and with friends with which it has already cooperated unconditionally – Russia, China, India, and others – since political, economic, and national independence are more valuable than any aid," columnist Ahmad el Sayed el Nagger wrote Aug. 27 in the state-owned Al Ahram newspaper.
Earlier this month, Egyptian President Adly Mansour told state television in his first interview that Russia and China "can offer a lot to Egypt in the next phase, not only politically, but economically."
He added that he and Foreign Minister Fahmy are "strategically reviewing our foreign relations to differentiate between our real friends and those who should not be classified in that category anymore."
As the U.S. makes threats to cut off funds, Egyptians are hopeful Russian money will return. Russian investment in 2010 reached $2.1 billion a year, and Russians account for 2.85 million tourists annually, making the nation a key part of reviving Egypt's moribund economy. On Sept. 10, amid news of a possible deal, Egyptian stocks rose 3.11 percent.
Intertwined in the latest move toward Russia is Egypt's own history. With the country now guided by a military leader, Gen. Abdel Fatah el-Sissi, there is a renewed love of former Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, a former Army colonel who helped liberate Egypt from British rule and who at the height of the Cold War aligned himself with the Soviet Union, skillfully playing the two Cold War rivals off one another.
In 1972, then-President Anwar Sadat expelled Russian advisers in the face of a military defeat in the so-called Yom Kippur war against Israel and moved toward a peace deal and a renewed American alliance.
More recently, Morsi's July 3 ouster and the return of a military-led government have resurrected Egypt's alliance with rulers such as Syrian President Bashar Assad, who is largely propped up by Russia.
Still, there is much doubt that a military-led government would break with the United States openly. The United States is a source of weapons and military training for Egyptian army commanders, and there is nothing in the latest rhetoric that suggests Russia would do a better job than the U.S. at solving the regions most intractable problems, such as the Israeli-Palestinian standoff, the post-Arab Spring instability or the region's economic decline.
The establishment "is keen to maintain the relationship" with the United States," said Abdel Raouf el-Reedy, a former Egyptian ambassador to the United States who is in close contact with the current Egyptian government. "Whoever counts in national security decision-making believes that maintaining the relationship is very important."
At the same, however, "there is a sense of disappointment with the United States," he said. "The threat of cutting off military aid is a sensitive point within the Egyptian society because they are a very proud of people. When I was in Washington, I always advised my friends to not use the aid as a means of leverage. It is counterproductive."
William B. Quandt, who served on the National Security Council during the 1970s and the Camp David Accords, the apex of U.S.-Egyptian relations, said he believes U.S. influence in the region has been fading for at least 20 years, beginning with the end of the first Gulf War and the 1991 Madrid conference, which failed to bring about major changes in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
U.S. relations fell again in 2000 when then-President Bill Clinton failed to seal a deal between the Israelis and Palestinians, sparking a Palestinian uprising. Two years later, the United States prepared to enter Iraq.
While U.S. intervention in Libya in the form of airstrikes was once celebrated, the region blames the United States for the instability that has defined the period since the fall of former Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi.
The latest move toward Russia is one of many new alliances emerging in a rapidly evolving post-Arab Spring Middle East, Quandt said. That move is based on immediate interests, and can seem perplexing. Iraq's two best allies, for example, are the United States and Iran. In Syria, the two biggest opponents of an expanding al Qaida influence are the United States and Assad – who two years ago President Barack Obama said "must go."
For an Egypt looking to assert its independence from the United States, find new economic partners and establish itself again as a key player in the region, aligning itself with Russia now makes sense.
"There is no ideological lineup," Quandt said. "You are going to see some very odd, very odd alignments in the next few years."
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story gave the wrong year for when Egyptian then-President Anwar Sadat expelled Russian advisers. It was in 1972.

Better known for their hams and sausages, they are also a full-service butcher. The first ribeye I got from there made me think I'd found an East Side competitor to Ottomanelli. This is the third and now I think that first one might have been flukily excellent. It had a perfect, Lugerish musty, nutty quality. This one was just very good, well marbled and about 2 inches thick, salted and seared to a caramelized crisp on the outside, rosy rare in the center, served with white rice and lemon and baby peas. And yes Fiona, the wine was a 2002 Givry from Choffelet-Valdenaire. Meals like this put the wine front and center, in this case deservedly so. $28, seek it out.

He plucked them off with great difficulty and much pain then sent them to a lab for DNA analysis! What, I can't help but wonder, did he write in the cover note!

Happy first day of spring!
This raisin and macadamia bread will be a new favourite of mine. I cannot resist freshly baked bread (I think it's the Finn in me) and this bread is perfectly wholesome and tasty with all the spices and additional treats. I've used the gorgeous crimson raisins, but you could just as well use normal raisins or dried cranberries. If you don't have macadamia nuts, opt for hazel nuts or walnuts instead. Either way I think you'll enjoy this bread as much as I did!

Derrick Miller of Barker Black , Lunch Nolita
CommentsClose comment

is that on elizabeth? they both look great.
I'm curious what he's going to do with his skull perforated brogue now that skulls are so common and so last season.
Fabulous photo!! Love the relax, casual and comfortable look for the weekend.
Wish there are more places like this in Manhattan.
Love the scarves on both of them. Very cosmopolitan and chic, yet casual and laid back.
Excellent photo, sart.
I like his smile.
Great photo! Love it, he looks so chic and unpretentious.
I love how he's done his scarf!
This is a very cute man. He looks very relaxed.
Envy. I especially admire the knot he is able to pull off. Casual yet intricate .. Is that an Aqua Scotum by the way?
he looks like a happy spirit. And really like how he tied his scarf
when is this guy gonna get to work on the Barker Black website?
this guy's apartment was featured in Domino magazine some months ago…fell in love with his place.
he's a smart-looking hottie too…love that smile and those glasses! too bad he's taken. =)
Hey Scott, I was wondering if you've ever been to seize siur vingt? it's in Nolita, i think, and they kinda have a casual look like this man.
i love the way he tied that knot on his scarf. as a knitter i really appreciate your love and focus on scarves. i've gotten to a point where i feel naked without a scarf around my neck sometimes. i've recently found the way guys dress to be quite inspirational for me as a girl so thanks for all your very interesting posts!
i lovey lovey love him. you always take pictures of men I want to marry.
you really ought to start photographing the behinds of men wearing jeans. that's the bottom line, isn't it?
at least, when they aren't sitting down.
cute cute cute. and i like his tie. h
this guy… right here… one word: charisma
he's got the best pair of glasses, period.
isn' the tie and the scarf redundant? nice knot though.
I would like to see what kind of shoes and socks he's wearing and the length of the trousers.
Sooo love the look!
I love the High-Low of the outfit. He took a nice article (tweed blazer) and matched it with a pair of washed down jeans, great look!
Hi. Does anyone know how he tied that knot? So chic!
that looks like a regular old fold scarf in half and loop through type of knot – except folded asymmetrically and precariously close to falling out. who knew something so simple and maybe unintentional could be so fun.
Aizan's idea sounds good – some front and back views?
So many great things about this picture. One of them being lunch in Nolita.
Great easy look, loads of personal style. You have to love anyone who looks this comfortable in their own skin, which should be the end result of fashion.
Great brand – Baker Black.
Those boys have tons of class and style !
Very intellectual. Cute!
you can never overdo a scarf, love this look, i also agree with aizan, need to see more bottoms, especially in jeans, there is also lot's of sense of style there, just as much as with scarves… and his overall attitude makes it a definite bonus, the type of picture you cannot take your eyes off from, can he be my next best-friend?
Wish more men had that smile and style!
So many comments on his scarf and I'll add mine – terrific!! Please tell us how to do it.
We're just coming into winter here in New Zealand, so I'm totally stealing his scarf knot when the time is right.
And I'm a lady! Go, inter-gender styling!
I'd say the scarf is from Aquascutum. It looks just like their house check.
i would like him to be my future husband.
b.chau- I would bet a months rent that the glasses are from Sol Moscot, an eye glass store down in the lower east side. They carry a line called Moscots originals. I think the ones Derrick is wearing is called Lemtosh. I think Johnny Depp wears the same ones. They are also pretty cheap for glasses…less than $150. I think this look is so cool.
styleandsubdtance – I'll take your months rent. They are vintage welding glasses.

A History of Arts Weekly
The IPFW College of Visual and Performing Arts (CVPA) began producing Arts Weekly, a television program showcasing the arts in northeast Indiana, in September 2009. Filled with stories and interviews focused on art, music, dance, and theatre in the Fort Wayne and surrounding region, Arts Weekly first was produced in the CollegeTV (CTV) studios on the IPFW campus and became a staple on PBS39's Sunday television schedule for its first three years and was hosted by Chuck O'Connor, then dean of the IPFW CVPA, until his departure in 2012.
As the CVPA searched for a new dean in 2012, Arts Weekly began production as a live show televised from the PBS39 studios in a new time slot on Thursday evenings. The fourth season was hosted by Melinda Haines, director of the IPFW Community Arts Academy and assistant to the dean of the CVPA.
When John O'Connell was named dean of the IPFW College of Visual and Performing Arts in the summer of 2013, he took over the hosting duties during the fifth season until its final show October 2, 2014.
The IPFW College of Visual and Performing Arts is proud of its five seasons of Arts Weekly and thanks all the area artists, performers, directors and fans for their support of the show through the years.

KC KDE #38 is Out
This week in KC KDE, you can read all about the Klingon invasion, CVS Kung-Fu and various Mime Type news. If you're lucky you can enjoy the French, German, and Spanish translations as well. A big thank you to the KC KDE Team.
Klingon invasion into kde-i18n is a hoax
You hardly "can read all about the Klingon invasion" in that KC (apart from the fact that I never wrote the last sentence with which I'm quoted there).
The present status of the Klingon thing is described more accurately in
BTW: I really missed a summary of the giant "app duplication" thread in this KC which resulted in the new project for a whole series of new "apps" modules. See http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=102084593614486&w=2

Speaking of MIME-Types
Is there somewhere an explanation available how the KDE-Mime-Type-System works? I always wondered what those vnd.* - stuff is.
By Ralex at Thu, 2002/06/06 - 5:00am
Re: Speaking of MIME-Types
KDE's mime types are normal mime types see:
vnd (vendor) is described in RFC 2048:
As far as I know, vnd is used when the mime type is not generic but is linked to a vendor. The advantage is a simplified registration procedure.
For example, the future mime type of KWord:
Have a nice day/evening/night!

Mozilla 1.0, Galeon and Konqueror
Personally I see Galeon 1.0 as I got it with Mandrake Linux 8.2, is very fast than our Konqueror 3.0. Java Applets are loaded quite fast and Galeon automatically detects the plugin (if Jre/jdk installed).
Can we expect super fast speed (of page rendering and java applets) from Konqueror since Konqueror uses Mozilla's engine as Galeon do? Hopes are high :)

Re: Mozilla 1.0, Galeon and Konqueror
i've done speed tests before and khtml (and opera, ns 4.7), beat mozilla/galeon/gecko based browsers in rendering speed by quite a bit.
However, I do agree that java support needs to be increased in speed and usability. Other things work perfectly, like flash.

Re: Mozilla 1.0, Galeon and Konqueror
Use kmozilla instead of khtml and be happy. Altough I'd prefer khtml as it looks much cooler, apart from some page width bugs and the flaky java support which was much better in Konqueror 2.2.

Re: Mozilla 1.0, Galeon and Konqueror
I have to agree with that, for me galeon is _much_ faster at web browsing than konqueror in kde3. (This might be because i have a slow pentium2 computer though)

Back to Men's Basketball coverage
Kansas coach Bill Self talks after his team's 85-80 loss to Oklahoma State on Feb. 2, 2013.
Kansas players Kevin Young, Jeff Withey and Ben McLemore talk after the Jayhawks' 85-80 loss to Oklahoma State on Feb. 2, 2013, at Allen Fieldhouse.
Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford talks to reporters following his team's 85-80 victory over Kansas on Feb. 2, 2013.
Just after the final buzzer, in the middle of a group embrace with assistant coaches, Oklahoma State men's basketball coach Travis Ford turned to assistant Steve Middleton.
"Oh my god," the coach said with raised eyebrows, as if he couldn't believe what had just happened following his team's 85-80 victory over Kansas University on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.
The 16,300 fans who attended the game were stunned as well. KU, which had won 102 of its last 103 games at home, fell to an OSU team that had gone 1-22 in its last 23 Big 12 road games.
"Everybody talks about, 'Coach Ford can't win on the road,'" OSU sophomore Le'Bryan Nash said. "This should get the monkey off his back. Because at Kansas? It doesn't get any better than that."
Clearly, the Cowboys understood the significance of the moment. A few seconds after his game-sealing steal — and after the final seconds ticked off the clock — freshman guard Marcus Smart flipped a cartwheel into a backflip in front of press row.
"We couldn't believe it. We just beat them," Smart said. "We were just celebrating and very excited about it."
Smart said he'd performed a backflip twice in high school after games at state. This one was spontaneous.
"I just had so much adrenaline," Smart said. "I was so excited and ecstatic about the victory that it was just kind of second nature. It just came to me to do it."
Smart dominated the second half, scoring 15 of his 23 points after halftime on 5-for-7 shooting. He also had seven rebounds in the final 20 minutes, which included six on the offensive end.
"We encouraged him in timeouts to start rebounding," Ford said. "We needed him to start rebounding."
Junior guard Markel Brown was the star of the first half for OSU, scoring 22 of his 28 points then with help from 5-for-7 three-point shooting.
"I missed the first shot, and I kind of got down on myself," Brown said. "My teammates said, 'Keep shooting.' After I made my first shot, I think it was a three-pointer, I kept shooting it, and it kept going in for me."
After leading by as many as 14 in the first half, OSU fell behind, 46-45, with 15:16 left following a Ben McLemore three.
"I told our team what's impressive ... 98, 99 percent of all teams who get a big lead in here and then lose it in the second half very rarely, if ever, come back," Ford said. "It takes so much out of you. That's probably the biggest thing I was proud of."
With his team leading, 83-80, with seven seconds left, Ford called a timeout and told his team not to foul KU. It worked, as Smart poked a steal away from KU guard Elijah Johnson.
"We had our rebounders out of the game, so if you go to the free-throw line, you don't have our main rebounders in the game," Ford said. "So I told our guys, 'We are going to switch everything and protect the three-point line, but if you get beat, then we can foul, and we'll take our chances.' I told them, 'Let's D up. Let's make them miss.'"
It's time.
Says something when OSUs staff and players are celebrating like they just won the national championship...I would say act like you've been there but really and truly, they never have...
That's utterly ridiculous on two levels, jsatt:
(1) Any team that wins at AFH has a right to celebrate, as it's a tremendous accomplishment.
(2) If you honestly think that THAT celebration was the same as when teams win a national championship, you haven't seen many title games.
Yeah, there are greater achievements, but not by much. OkSt even has a NC banner from the Hank Iba days – not only pre-big12, bit pre-big8 as well.
It is just petty to say anything but, "They played hard, and when we gave them some chances – they beat our butts."
With the 'can't win on road' monkey off their back, they are a legitimate threat for the Conference Title - this may well be one we have to share, maybe two ways, maybe even more. At least five big12 teams are going to be hard outs in the big dance.
Great heart warming story jesse
Congrats to the Pokes. They whipped us. They really did. Their offensive rebounding in the second half won the game when they could have faltered.
They deserve the credit. I had to ride home with an OSU alum after the game. I thought about leaving him in the parking lot.
The only formula for this team to win is defense and aggressive, tough, physical play around the ball / loose balls.
We were horrendous today on sealing after a shot.
I am not big on calling out these guys, cuz they are kids and I get that, but Elijah Johnson had a three possession stretch late in the game, turnover, fail to box his guy on an o rebound that turned into a bunny and another TO on a lazy pass that turned into a dunk. Just awful.
Perry Elllis is completely weak. He got a ball taken away from him that was sickening.
I hope he gets to play with Thomas Robinson this summer cuz right now, he's a cat that starts with p and ends with ussy.
I'm with the others posters who are giving OSU accolades for winning. It was inevitable that we would get defeated at home at some point, and there is no shame in getting beat by OSU, they played their hearts out. Better to have them end the streak than many other schools I can think of.
OSU wanted this game more than our guys did. Our guys have been playing and acting lackidaisal and not focused. If Self doesn't make playing adjustments I'll be sorely disappointed. NOBODY at KU has a full time secured spot playing and that includes all seniors. I understand one or two games being the above but to have 5 or 6 games in a row? Unbelieveably poor attitudes and these adjusted. Kudos to HCBS calling out the team publicity.
If we are going to learn from losses, the Hawks may learn four or five more times before the conference tournament begins.
The silver lining is maybe Mr. T-Boone will figure he's got an OK coach after all and leave Bill alone for awhile!!!
OSU won the game. Yesterday they were the better team. Period. We've had this same situation in the past and benefitted from it. I'd rather lose now and wake the guys up and have the incentive to get better. This hurts, now, big time, but in the long run it will be a turning point for KU. Congrats to OSU, team and fans, for a great game.
What a pathetic loss. Of the two previous miracle home wins this one had one major difference, they had a three possession lead after being down by big numbers for the majority of the 40 minutes. If this does not fire up your squad to finish off an inferior team on your home court, where it is so difficult for opponents to win, then you deserve to lose because your players have obviously decided they are too good to hustle on every possession like Smart was such a good example of during this most frustrating loss.
And Johnson handling the ball down the court for a seven second possession to possibly tie the game? I got so mad about that last possession my dog ran out of the room and this never happens as he is accustomed to my getting upset during games and usually sleeps right through my tirades. EJ should have been the last one handling the ball here after playing so poorly during every portion of this game and for that matter a great deal of the season. There are a great number of Community Ball players that would have stolen the ball from him; all the way down to the Junior High level.
Good loss though as it was time to remind these boys they are not as good as they obviously think they are and that they have to play like OSU's Smart if they want to win what is truly in their grasp this year and that is the Big Dance, in my humble opinion. How do you allow this guy Smart to not only offensively rebound free throws but then put them in the bucket?! Sure we only have a 185 lb four man and a 200 lb center but with their skill set and coordination it proves they are either not practicing how to get the fricking ball over the rim or we are not coaching them how to do it. I digress...
I think it is time - and bless you EJ for the years that you had your head in the game and were a big part of our success - for Bill to take him out of the lineup and even perhaps give AW III more minutes. Good time to start working with next year's guys when you have Seniors that have quit thinking about the game altogether.

Corbin heads to hill for D'backs in Atlanta
Patrick Corbin, not former All-Star Ian Kennedy, leads the Arizona Diamondbacks in wins. Corbin looks to add to that list when the D'backs resume a three-game series Tuesday versus the Atlanta Braves.
While Kennedy, a 15-game winner in 2012, sits with just one win, Corbin is 5-0 with a 1.75 earned run average in seven starts. In all seven of his starts this season, Corbin has lasted at least six innings and given up two runs or fewer. In a 2-1 win over Philadelphia on Thursday, Corbin was reached for just a run and four hits in 6 1/3 innings.
"Obviously it's exciting," Corbin said of his success. "But I just want to keep level-headed and make sure I don't get too big on myself. I'm just glad we came out with a win, we have a nice little streak going."
The left-handed Corbin has won his last three starts and all three of his home assignments, pitching 19 innings at Chase Field with a 1.42 ERA. Corbin threw three shutout innings of one-hit ball in relief against the Braves last June in his only appearance in this series.
Braves starter Julio Teheran also sports an unbeaten record, but it's not as glamorous as Corbin's. Teheran is 2-0 with a 4.84 earned run average in six starts and draws pitching duties Tuesday.
Teheran won his latest outing on Thursday in a 6-3 win at San Francisco and pitched at least seven innings for the second time in three outings. He allowed three runs and did not walk a batter, and has yielded three runs or less in each of his past three starts.
Giants catcher and reigning NL MVP Buster Posey was impressed with Teheran, who altered his grip on the ball, especially for changeups.
"He stayed on the corners pretty well," Posey said. "He wasn't making too many mistakes on the plate."
Atlanta has won all six of the Colombian right-hander's starts. Teheran is 2-0 in four road appearances and did not figure into the decision of a 5-4 loss at Arizona on May 18, 2011. He lasted four innings and gave up two runs in his only appearance against the D'backs.
The Braves took the opener of this series in convincing fashion by posting a 10-1 victory over the D'backs. In Justin Upton's return to the desert, he went 4-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and a pair of runs scored. Upton, of course, was traded to the Braves in the offseason after playing his first six seasons with Arizona.
"To come out and get four hits, its always a good feeling," Upton said.
Brian McCann and Chris Johnson also homered and finished with three RBI for Atlanta, which halted a three-game losing streak. Mike Minor earned the win by holding the hosts to a run in 6 2/3 innings.
Atlanta is 4-4 on a 10-game road trip and one game ahead of Washington for the top spot in the NL East. In injury news for the Braves, outfielder B.J. Upton is day-to-day after taking a pitch off of his left shoulder. Upton was hit by a Wade Miley pitch in the sixth inning and was replaced in the seventh inning.
"I was initially good and I was alright on defense," Upton said on the club's website. "I just went to swing a bat and it was (tight)."
The Diamondbacks have lost three in a row since winning five straight and didn't get much assistance from Miley, who was tagged for seven runs -- six earned -- in five innings.
"I just started missing up," said Miley. "Earlier in the game I was hitting spots, was pitching down in the zone and then just like that, I couldn't get outs anymore."
Paul Goldschmidt homered for the D'backs, who are now 2 1/2 games off the lead in the NL West. with a less-than-stellar 12.71 ERA.
Arizona lost five of seven meetings with the Braves a season ago and nine of the previous 11 matchups between the two clubs.

I had been kicking myself for the last couple of weeks. I thought I had missed an opportunity to do something really good and worthwhile. But, of course, regret is a wasted emotion. And upon further reflection (and the urging of friends), I decided I could still do something good and worthwhile!
I'm nearing the end of my post-surgery treatment for residual prostate cancer under the care of Dr. Stanley Liauw at the University of Chicago Hospitals in Hyde Park. The treatment consists of hormone therapy and 38 radiation treatments, delivered five days a week, Monday through Friday, for seven-and-a-half weeks. My first treatment was May 29, the day after Memorial Day. My final treatment will be this coming Monday, July 23.
I have been riding my bike early on weekday mornings from our home in Evanston, along the length of Chicago's spectacular lakefront, and down to Hyde Park for every treatment, stopping downtown for work on the way back north, and finishing the ride back to Evanston in the evening. That's 44.7 miles of riding a day. Add in an extra day when I rode down to Hyde Park only to have a treatment canceled (due to an equipment malfunction), and I will have ridden nearly 1,800 miles to and from my radiation treatments! That's like riding from Chicago to Las Vegas (without the dancing girls, Wayne Newton or Cirque du Soleil).
At the beginning of all this, I didn't know if I would be able to ride every day. The side effects of hormone therapy and radiation are numerous, including, but not limited to, fatigue, menopause (and its assorted symptoms), nausea and the dreaded (I just recently learned the medical term for this) "rectal urgency." (Oh boy…) The third day I rode (May 31) was pouring rain and 49 degrees. I rode anyway, figuring, "If I can ride in this, I can ride in anything." The 90-100 degree days have been a snap, especially with the help of a few cycling friends – my darling wife, Carol, Frank Shaw, Tom Waterloo, Tom Arndt and Steve Schwartz – who have ridden with me to treatment and allowed me to draft off of them! In addition, numerous friends from the Millennium Park Bike Station gave me a lift when I needed one. Thanks to all of you, as well!
That said, the reason I was kicking myself was that I should have done all of this bike riding as a fundraiser for Dr. Liauw's research!
Stan Liauw is an impressive person. He is intelligent, compassionate, honest and humble. When I told him that I would like to raise some money for his research (more on his research in a moment), he was welcoming, but quite humbled and grateful. He told me that even a couple thousand dollars would go a long way, allowing him to hire some graduate students to do, as he said, so much of the "grunt work" involved in clinical research.
So I am asking my friends and family members if they would do me a big favor and contribute to a fund dedicated to helping Stan's research projects. The fund is marked specifically for his work and not for the institution, at large, meaning you can rest assured that any donation you give will be going directly to the important work Stan is doing.
My one major regret is that I could have probably suggested a commitment of a dollar for every mile cycled, and many of you would have agreed without thinking, leaving you on the hook for $1,750! (Okay, some of you would have been smart enough to ask, "So how many miles do you figure?" and opted to be in for 10 cents a mile, whittling your obligation down to $175.) That said, anything you can give to the fund would be greatly appreciated by me, but more importantly, it would be appreciated by Stan and his team.
Throughout my cancer journey, I have been blessed to be surrounded by truly exceptional doctors and their excellent staffs, starting with an incredible group of physicians at Northwestern: my friend, Dr. Daniel Derman, who shepherded me though this entire process; my internist, Dr. Erik Orelind, who not only stayed on top of the myriad tests I needed, but went out of his way to make the process as easy as possible; Dr. Robert Nadler, my initial urologist who studied my steeply-rising PSA and ultimately performed the biopsy that confirmed my aggressive cancer; and Dr. William Catalona, the legendary, deft surgeon who operated on me. And finally, there's Stan Liauw, a young doctor who, I guarantee, will be making an even bigger impact than he already has on helping people overcome cancer.
One thing all of these doctors have in common – and it is clear in every interaction with them – is their deeply-held commitment to helping people. I feel quite fortunate and thankful to have had the value of their counsel, knowledge and skill during my cancer.
With your help, I would like to give something back in the form of funding Stan's research. (To learn more about his work, scroll down to the bottom of this post.)
There are two ways you can donate directly to Dr. Liauw's research:
- Go to the website: https://www.kintera.org/site/c.phLWJ6PFKmG/b.6079897/k.8CE3/Make_A_Gift/apps/ka/sd/donorcustom.asp
- In the "donor specified" window, enter "Stanley Liauw's research—Pat Navin fund"
- Checks must be made payable to the "University of Chicago"
- "Stanley Liauw's Research—Pat Navin fund" should be written in the memo line to ensure proper allocation and attribution.
- Checks can be sent to Callie Johnston's attention (773-834-1261) at the following address:
Medicine and Biological Sciences Development
Attn: Callie Johnston
130 East Randolph Street, Suite 1400
Chicago, IL 60601
(Please note that all donations are tax deductible and a tax receipt and acknowledgement will be provided via email.)
Thank you in advance for any contribution you can make. Thanks, too, for all the love and support you have sent to our family. We are extremely grateful for the many kindnesses shown to us. And if you want to go for ride down the lakefront to the south side, give me a call or drop me an email. I'd be happy to join you and I know it like the back of my hand!
Pat Navin
About Dr. Stanley Liauw's research
Dr. Liauw has been running the prostate cancer program within the Department of Radiation and Cellular Oncology at the University of Chicago for 6 years. While his priority is to provide excellent care for his patients, he is also actively involved with multiple research projects to help improve outcomes for men with prostate cancer who are treated with radiation. These efforts include prospective collection of data for men treated at the University of Chicago, with periodic outcomes analysis; multi-institutional studies regarding prostate cancer control and side effects of therapy; clinical trials aimed at improving cancer control and/or quality of life after treatment; and scientific research regarding mechanisms of radiation sensitization and radiation resistance. So far, these efforts have led to more than 30 scientific presentations at meetings, and 15 scientific manuscripts. Support of his research would be applied towards the development of his research program in prostate cancer, with the goal of making continual gains in our understanding of this disease, and providing the best possible therapy for our patients.

YANGON, Myanmar, Aug. 10 (UPI) -- Hackers broke into the Web site of Myanmar's Information Ministry and posted a threatening message telling the government to "stop the killing of Muslims."
The message, posted in English, was a possible reference ongoing violence between Buddhists and Muslims in the state of Rakhine, also called Arakan state.
The hacker's message said "those Muslims have a message of peace to the world but you are killing them. If you continue with the killing of Muslims, we will target all the worshipers of Buddha everywhere in the world ... and your country will be a hell."
The message included a photograph of charred bodies at an unidentified location, a report by the Myanmar news Web site Mizzima said.
The Myanmar government Web site also was down for several hours after the attack, Mizzima reported.
However, the state-run news Web site New Light of Myanmar didn't mention the alleged attack.
Mizzima's report of the hacking comes as the government and security authorities are struggling with increased tensions in Rakhine.
The violence started early June when 10 Muslims were killed by a mob who pulled them from a bus late one afternoon. By the end of July nearly 80 people had been killed in ethnic clashes.
Rakhine occupies most of Myanmar's west coast on the Bay of Bengal and is mostly Muslim has a relatively large Muslim population. Within Myanmar, Buddhists make up 89 percent of the population while Muslims and Christians make up around 4 percent each, U.N. estimates state.
Many of the Rohingya have connections to neighboring Bangladesh and the violence has created a tide of refugees across the border as well as within Myanmar.
The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees estimated that around 80,000 people have been displaced in and around the Rakhine towns of Sittwe and Maungdaw where much of the violence took place.
"Most of them are living in camps for internally displaced people, with smaller numbers staying with host families in surrounding villages," the statement said.
Last month the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay called for a "prompt, independent" investigation into alleged human rights violations in Rakhine.
Tomas Ojea Quintana, the United Nations' special rapporteur on human rights who returned this week from visiting Myanmar, said the Southeast Asian nation, formerly called Burma, needs to tackle these challenges for the success of democratic transition and national reconciliation.
The human rights situation in Rakhine state is serious," Quintana said in a statement at the end of his visit.
He called for an independent investigation into allegations of serious human rights violations, including alleged excessive use of force by security and police personnel.
"It is of fundamental importance to clearly establish what has happened in Rakhine state and to ensure accountability. Reconciliation will not be possible without this and exaggerations and distortions will fill the vacuum to further fuel distrust and tensions between communities," he said.
The state nationality of the Rohingya lies at the root of the tensions. At issue is how many of the Rohingya are legal immigrants, illegal immigrants and Myanmar-born Muslims.
To prevent other ethnic flash points, the Myanmar government must set up a functioning immigration system, Benedict Rogers, Asia Team Leader at the international human rights organization Christian Solidarity Worldwide, said.
The tensions are heightened by claims and counterclaims on all sides where the majority of alleged crimes aren't verifiable, said Rogers, writing on the Web site of the Democratic Voice of Burma, a non-profit Myanmar media organization based in Oslo, Norway.
"There is no doubt that both communities have suffered and perpetrators of violence on both sides must be brought to justice," he said.
"Without an independent, international inquiry and international monitors on the ground, it will be impossible to establish the truth and, as Mr. Quintana has said, hold the perpetrators accountable."
